Abstract
THE Albert Gold Medal for 1943 of the Royal Society of Arts has been awarded to Sir John Russell, director of the Rothamsted Experimental Station. The Medal, which was struck in 1864 to commemorate the presidency of the Society held by Prince Albert during 1843–61, is awarded “for distinguished merit in promoting Arts, Manufactures and Commerce”. Fifty years ago the Medal was awarded to Sir John Bennet Lawes and John Henry Gilbert “for their joint services to scientific agriculture, and notably for the researches which, throughout a period of fifty years, have been carried on by them at the Experimental Farm, Rothamsted”.
