John Hilton
John Hilton began talking about 'This and That' in October, 1934, and to the pleasure of listeners went on doing so until the summer of 1936, when he began a series of talks to the unemployed under the title of ' This Way Out', which made him one of the most appreciated broadcasters in the country.
' This and That' was resumed in 1937, and today listeners are to hear the first of thirteen talks going on till June, in which he will deal with anything that strikes him as odd or exciting, comical or puzzling, in the events of the week. '
A few' months ago he published a collection of his earlier broadcast talks under the title 'This and That', and early next autumn he is publishing a second and perhaps a third volume.
Hilton has been Professor of Industrial Relations at Cambridge since 1931, but perhaps he is even prouder of his Chairmanship of the Advisory Committee of Fellowship House-a club that he started with others for the unemployed at Cambridge.
