Excerpt from The Empire and the Future: A Series of Imperial Studies Lectures Delivered in the University of London, King"s College

In pursuance of the aims of the Imperial Studies Committee of the University of London and the Royal Colonial Institute for enlightenment of public opinion on Imperial problems, the course of lectures on "The Empire and the Future" was planned and the lectures delivered before overflowing audiences in the Great Hall of King"s College in the Autumn Term of 1915. The chair was taken at the first lecture of the course by Mr. Steel-Maitland, and Dr. Sadler devoted himself to a setting forth of the important work to be done by the Universities by means of public lectures such as these. Circumstances have changed so rapidly in the educational world that what needed saying in October 1915 has to some extent ceased to be apposite to the conditions of August 1916, and in place of the lecture he gave last autumn Dr. Sadler has therefore contributed to our volume a specially written article. The remaining lectures are printed almost in the form in which they were delivered under the chairmanship of Lord Bryce, Lord Milner, Lord Selborne, the late Earl "St. Aldwyn, and Lord Sumner respectively.
