Abstract
THE fourth International Congress of the History of Science and Technology was held in Prague on September 22–27 under the presidency of Prof. Quido Vetter. A few days prior to the Congress, Czechoslovakia had been struck a cruel blow by the death of the President-Liberator of the Czechoslovakian Republic, Dr. T. G. Masaryk. The delegates to the Congress assembled on the day of the funeral, and as was to be expected at such a time of national mourning, the Congress opened under a cloud of sadness. The social functions previously announced did not take place, but otherwise the whole programme of work was completed.
