（1）2025年12月份回国探访三周，感触是，中国是个有着千年官本位的国家，英国也是，但中国严重得多，认为引入民主会生乱，然而，西方民主在美英法的带动下，有着两三百年来的繁荣，并且官民关系良好，这个趋势在可预见的未来，还将继续下去，中国（政体）有必要考虑引入民主成分，至于如何引入？有待考量，即兼顾一党制的现实，又顾及民主，解决之道不会容易。
注：在回国的三周里，参加了儿时一起在一个大院长大的60年聚会，与会的人告诉我，他不愿意与百姓交流，许多话比如：其忧与虑不与百姓说，只与过去的玩伴等说，可想而知，中国的官民关系如何。

Following the Half-Yearly Meeting on Saturday 14
February, 2026, members of the General Council and their

which will take place, as usual, in the magnificent Playfair
Library Hall in Old College. We are delighted to welcome Professor Marion Thain,
Director, Edinburgh Futures Institute to give the after
lunch talk:
Marion Thain comes to Edinburgh Futures Institute from
her role as Professor of Culture and Technology at King’s
College London, where she was Executive Dean of the
Faculty of Arts and Humanities for 6 years. While at King’s
she founded and led the Digital Futures Institute, which
grew out of her Centre for Attention Studies. She began
her career as a Junior Research Fellow at Cambridge
University, and worked in English departments at Russell
Group universities before moving to New York University
as a professor of Arts and Literature (in English and the
school of the interdisciplinary global liberal arts) and
Director of Digital Humanities. She returned to the UK in
2018. Marion is interested particularly in the relationship
between culture and technology (considering
‘technology’ in the broadest sense) and in formations of
disciplinarity and interdisciplinarity. Details can be found
