Abstract
SIR HENRY UALE has been elected president for the year 194 of the British Association for the Advancement of Science. Sir Henry was formerly director of the National Institute for Medical Research and for ten years before that he directed the Wellcome Physiological Research Laboratories (1964-14). He has achieved world recognition for his work on the physiological effects of histamine, a derivative of ergot, which was followed by brilliant researches resulting in the isolation of histamine and acetylcholine from animal tissues. Later work was devoted to examining the part played by these substances in physiological and pathological processes. Many other research workers have carried out their investigations under Sir Henry's guidance.
