Thackeray's Centenary

How, asks the Book Monthly, should
the centenary of Thackeray's birth,
which falls on July Is next year, be
celebrated. The subject is one which
the Titnlarsh club has already been
considering. Personally. and by his
writings, Thackeray is associated with
the Charterhouse. Does that fact offer
any suggestion as to the best manner
of celebrating his centenary? Our
usual national way in such an event is
to have dinner or a banquet, and
perhaps that will be part, anyhow. of
the arrangement in the Thaclxeray case
The one thing certain is, something
should be done, for it is inconceivable
that we could let so great a literary
occasion as Thackeray's centenary pass
unnoticed.
