Abstract
AMONG the thousands of refugees from Central Europe who have arrived in Great Britain during the past eight years or so have been many Austrians, debarred from their own country by their political opinions or by their race. Their numbers have included many eminent scholars, who have been allowed to make their homes in Britain; they feel now that they can discharge a part of the debt of gratitude they owe by contributing to the intellectual life of the country a fuller knowledge of the cultural achievements of Austria. To this end an Austrian Academy in Great Britain has been founded, the honorary president of which is Sir George Francken-stein, formerly Austrian Minister in Great Britain. The Academy is arranging lectures, which will be delivered, as a rule, in English, and will be open to the public, on Austrian culture, and it is hoped to organize exhibitions and other activities in collaboration with the Austrian Circle for Arts and Sciences.
