Abstract
SIR FRANCIS GOODENOUGH died on January 11, after a long period of ill-health, at the age of sixty-seven. It is possible to surmise that had he come under the influence of a science master at an impressionable age, as has happened to many of us, he would have made a career in some branch of science which would have gained a great leader. As it was he performed what is perhaps the more difficult feat, namely, the introduction of some measure of planning and science into commerce.
