Abstract
A NEW chair of bacteriology is to be founded in Edinburgh University under a bequest from Mr. Robert Irvine, of Royston, Granton. At his death, eleven years ago, Mr. Irvine bequeathed 230 shares of 10l each in a company for developing the resources of Christmas Island for the purpose of establishing the chair when the interest from the shares should reach 25,000l. or 30,000l. The accumulated dividends on these shares now reach more than 30,000l. It is understood that 25,000l. will go towards the maintenance of the professorship, and that the remaining 5000l. will be used in providing the class-rooms, laboratories, and the necessary equipment.
