NO. 4896 FRIDAY, 3RD APRIL, 1953 VOL. CI

The following letter was addressed by the Chairman of the Council to Sir Alan Lascelles on the occasion of the death of Her Majesty Queen Mary:

27 th March , 1953 Sir,

The Council of the Royal Society of Arts beg that you will convey to Her Majesty The Queen the respectful and heartfelt sympathy of the Society in the loss sustained by the Royal Family and the whole Nation through the death of Her Majesty Queen Mary, whose long life and gracious and devoted service uniquely endeared her to all the peoples of the Commonwealth.

Among Her late Majesty's wide interests, art, in its many forms, and the promotion of industry, found a prominent and continuing place and we are happy to remember Queen Mary's many visits to the Exhibitions of the Society's Competition of Industrial Designs and her acceptance of the award of the Albert Medal in recognition of Her Majesty's "unremitting interest in arts and manufactures".

It is, therefore, with a special- sense of loss that we desire to record our profound sorrow at her passing.

I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient Servant,

I E. Munro Runtz, I I Chairman of the Council ■

I The Right Honble. Sir Alan Lascelles, I
