Sir STANLEY REED , K.C.B., LL.D.
Twenty-five years ago Sir Stanley Reed was present at the Coronation Durbar, when Delhi became the new capital of India in 1911. This afternoon he is to give a talk on its historical importance to the rulers of India through the ages, and he will speak of Delhi as it heard the proclamation of Queen Victoria, as it received the visit of King George when Prince of Wales, as it heard the proclamation of King Edward VIII the other day. A new city sprung out of the old.
Sir Stanley joined the staff of The
Times of India in 1897, and was editor in Bombay from 1907 to 1923. He reported, as special correspondent for that paper and The Daily Chronicle, the famines in India in 1900, the tour of the Prince and Princess of Wales in India in 1905 and 1906, and the Amir's visit to India and the Persian Gulf in 1907.
