CALCUTTA SOCIETY
URGED IN LONDON

London -Wilmot Corfield read a
paper on Calcutta, the Premier City,"
at crowded meeting of the East In
dia association held recently in the
Caxton hall. Mr.. Corfield said the
Calcutta Historical Society had recent
ly languished owing to the inevitable
sapping of its strength by the return
of active members to this country. He
therefore proposed the formation of
a London Calcutta Historical Society,
which would bring together old CAL
cutta friends and others in a common
cause and on enduring grounds.
Its chief. but by no means its only
duty would be the compilation of a
history of Calcutta on an adequate
scale: a readable, comprehensive, and
readily available story of the second
city of the Indian empire. He also
hoped to see the erection. either on the
Surrey shore of the Thames or on the
site of the Crystal Palace at Syden-
ham, of an Indian hall and museum
(absorbing the Indian museum at
South Kensington), on the lines of the
Victoria memorial hall in course of
erection at Calcutta.
The fact of India being of para
mount moment to the empire needed
to be brought home to the mind and
conscience of London in a tangible
and visible form. Around the pro-
posed hall might be grouped some of
the Indian statues now misplaced in
London streets, together with replicas
of many in Calcutta and elsewhere in
India.
