Abstract

As announced already, the dedication of a window in memory of Lord- Kelvin will take place in West minster Abbey on Tuesday, July 15, at 3 p.m. The window, which is the result of action taken by engineers in the British Dominions and the United States, has been placed in the north aisle of the nave, in close proximity to the one erected in 1909 by civil engineers to the memory of Sir Benjamin Baker; and it has been designed and made by the same artist, Mr. J. N. Comper. A special service, with music, is being arranged by the Abbey authori ties, and Mr. R. Elliott-Cooper, president of the Institution of Civil Engineers, will make the formal presentation of the window on behalf of the donors. Members of the American engineering societies and of the Canadian Society of Civil Engineers who may be in London at the time are invited to attend the dedication ceremony, whether they subscribed to the cost of the window or not, and they may obtain cards of admission by writing before Monday, July 14, to the secretary, of the Institution of Civil Engineers, 12 Dartmouth Street, Westminster, S.W.
