The words of the prime minister may be prophetic: "I do not know who will succeed us, but whoever does will find it impossible in the present state of Europe to go on without conferences. The world is so battered, bruised, and crushed that the cure will be a slow one and will need many consultations of its leading physicians...

So far nothing exists in Cambridge to satisfy these demands. Although the Union is the solution of many questions of accommodation, it is not a panacea for all troubles. Even if ample room would be provided, which is probably impossible, the building is too large to retain a true club atmosphere. It would seem to be out of the question to arrange for the use of any social club as permanent headquarters. Another possible arrangement...
