VICTORIA LEAGUE
MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP All young members of the Victoria League throughout the Empire, who are known as the Young Contingent, have received a letter from the executive in London saying that it. has been decided to start a fund toward a memorial to Miss Gertrude Drayton, the Loudon secretary, who lost her life when the league hostel in London was bombed. ''lt. was thought that a scholarship for an Empire student would he the best way of expressing what Miss Drayton herself would wish," the letter says. "The committee was of the opinion that nothing should be done regarding the actual memorial until tho end of the war. but it. was felt that the fund should immediately be opened and the money collected invested in war savings. Will you please help to make this fund a success and in so doing carry on the work of the Victoria League in a way which will be a perpetual memorial to Miss Dravton mid the magnificent work in Empire relationship to which she devoted so many years of her life and spared no energy," tho letter concludes.
