It is proposed, in the first instance, to place a simple monument in the form of i tablet with a bas-relief in Westminster Abbey. The Abbey authorities, who have been approached, hare given their full approval to this part of the project, and have suggested an appropriate position adjoining that of a similar memorial to the late Lord Cromer.

It is hoped also not only to commeme rate but to perpetuate Lord Milner's life's work, and it is proposed, with this object, to establish a scheme of travelling and research fellowships and monetary prizes for the encouragement of the study of Imperial development and of social

betterment.
