Abstract
WHEN reading this very interesting record of my old friend and colleague (of which you gave such an excellent review in your issue of June 25), I found that, in his recollections of the days when we were both professors at the Owens College, Manchester, Dr. Williamson has been mistaken as to the details of Principal Scott's retirement. Mr. J. Holme Nicholson (late Registrar of this College) confirms my memory as to dates, and, at Mrs. Williamson's request, I ask you to kindly insert, in your forthcoming number, the following correction in her late husband's graphic account of the early struggles through which Owens College had to pass on the way to its present high position as an institution for sound instruction in natural science and original research.
