Relayed from the Speech Room on the occasion of the Harrow School Speech Day
IX most of the older public schools, Speech Day is the great moment of the year, the occasion when old boys come back in vast numbers, and the boys of the present generation have a chance to gaze on a bevy of public men of distinction, from generals to county cricketers. Harrow is one of the oldest of all the public schools, for it was founded in 1571. and it has as many of its old boys prominent in public life as any other school. The visitors today will probably include Mr. Baldwin, the Prime Minister, who is the most distinguished of present Old Harrovians.
