From the archive: Lord Meston's Address in 1934

I visited the GA Archives in Solly Street earlier this week and made some good discoveries.

One of the things I discovered was from Lord James Scorgie Meston, who was President in 1934.

Lord Meston's Address to a GA group in Glasgow was published in the Scottish Educational Journal in 1934.


Here is the address, in two pages.

What was the question of Memel? 

I had to look it up and discovered a link with the League of Nations - another institution that the GA has close links with.
