A BRIEF ACCOUNT OF THE AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION MEETING IN LONDON By 0. B. EIDSON, President The Bar Association of the State of Kansas. The'pilgrimage of members of the American Bar Association to London for the concluding portion of their 80th annual meeting in July of 1957, was a most memorable experience for those who were privileged to attend. Our British hosts went all out to provide entertainment. On arrival at headquarters in the Savoy Hotel, those of the American lawyers who had registered in ad- vance, (as the great majority had) were each handed a large envelope which contained a thick red booklet containing the full program for the entire meet- ing. In each envelope were the tickets and special invitations for each particular lawyer, a marvelous job of planning. There were so many lawyers and their wives in attendance that all could not be entertained at any one event (except the Queen's garden party), hence, they had been divided up and assigned around largely, as we were advised, in accordance with the order in which the initial advance registration of each particular lawyer had been made.

Large as it was, this hall was not adequate to accommodate the English and American members of the profession, who composed the audience, and also their wives. The ladies, however, viewed the spectacle by closed cir- cuit television in a large London moving picture house. Pictures of this historic event were published in the August 7th edition of Life magazine. The Ameri- can dignitaries were assembled on the huge stage before the arrival of the British Judiciary. The latter entered from the left rear down a wide stairway in single file, turning towards the audience on a further broad stairway which lead down the center of the platform. All of our lawyers on the stage, as well as in the audience in the hall, stood at attention during this entrance. The Lord
