Abstract
THE celebration of its jubilee by the Society of Chemical Industry will long remain as a landmark in the history of both pure and applied science, and as a very convincing demonstration of the progressive narrowing of the gap between industry and pure research. The members of the Society were welcomed at the inaugural ceremony at Guildhall by the Lord Mayor of London and the Vice-Chancellor of the University of London. The close association which has always existed between the Corporation and the livery companies of the City and chemical education and research was manifested by the presentation of plaques and addresses to a number of the companies. The importance of chemical technology in this industrial age will render the meeting a not unimportant event even in the long history of Guildhall.
