ABSTRACT
To attract to Wilton Park lecturers so distinguished and disparate as Lord Beveridge and Kurt Schumacher was a remarkable achievement. But in London it confirmed something that Wing Commander Hitch had feared when appointing Koeppler-that he would turn Wilton Park into a ‘show place’. He had certainly done that. One further result had been publicity in the press. By the end of 1946, as well as the articles in Picture Post, The Spectator, and The Daily Graphic already mentioned, Wilton Park had featured in the Quaker periodical The Friend, in the London Evening Standard, in The New Statesman, in the Catholic The Tablet, in the BBC’s The Listener, in The Times, and in The New York Herald-Tribune.
