As the list on p. 2 indicates, the Conference was extremely well attended, by some 70 members and guests (to the list, by the way, should be added the names of Professor Denis Brogan and of Mr. E.M. Hutchinson, Secretary of the National Institute of Adult Education). Nottingham proved to be an excellent location in several ways. It is central — a factor of added weight in a period of petrol rationing. It is perhaps the only British university that can claim to have a “campus”, from which one might gain the illusion of being at an American university. Like American universities, it is also comfortable; the Conference was admirably housed and fed in the Hugh Stewart Hall, within the proverbial stone's throw of the Faculty Club, with its pleasant bar and lounges. Members could recuperate from lectures and discussions by playing billiards and table-tennis, or by drinking at the bar, or by walking to Wollaton Park, or by going into the university's new Portland Building (whose interior fascinatingly belies its exterior) and looking at Sir Hugh Casson's décor, on the way to an excellent display of reproductions of American paintings, loaned for the occasion by the United States Information Service.
