Page from The Sphere, 4th May 1912, called The Newsletter, Week by Week. It features images of Indian students who have studied at the London School of Economics; Signor Murri and Miss Raguhild Lund; wreaths on the Cairn, Culloden Moor commemorating the anniversary of the battle of Culloden; and lifebelts and life-saving apparatus being worn. The latter is captioned, 'those responsible for the lives on the Olympic are taking stringent precautions in view of the terrible calamity to her sister ship, Titanic...but in spite of these precautions many of the crew deserted at the last minute...the fireman on strike declared that the forty collapsible boats taken from troopships in the harbour were quite unseaworthy.'
