Abstract

THE Standard for November 22 contains a full list of the House of Lords, classified according to their qualifications. It is disappointing to find only two names—those of Baron Rayleigh and Baron Lister—under the heading “Scientists,” while “Educationists” are only represented by Baron Ashcombe, member of council of Selwyn College; Baron Killanin, member of Senate of Royal University of Ireland; and the Earl of Stamford, formerly professor of classics and philosophy at Codrington College, Barbados. There are thirty-five railway directors, thirty-five bankers, and thirty-nine so-called “captains of industry” on the list, and a column and a half under “Military and Naval Services.”
