The new Canon of St. Paul's, the Rev. V. A.

Demant, who wa installed on Monday in succession to Dr. J. K. Mozley, has acquired varied experience in the course of a rather unusual career. He was educated at Armstrong College, Newcastle, and graduated there in Science before going on to take a diploma in anthropology at Exeter, Oxford. He was, moreover, I believe, a Unitarian Minister bolo he took orders in the Church of England. In recent years he has concentrated largely on social questions and written on them with authority and distinction. He should add something of a new element to the St. Paul's chapter.
