According to Gordon Craig and Felix Gilbert "His handling of the political tasks of the League [of Nations] has been criticized as over cautious, but he did not lack courage for decisive action when such action was necessary for the maintenance of the authority of the League. His slow somewhat hesitant approach was useful in avoiding disappointments and setbacks and contributed to the League’s steady gain in prestige."

Titles and honours During his life, Drummond received a variety of titles for his accomplishments. He was awarded the following by King George V: Companion of the Order of the Bath (CB) 22 June 1914.
