Abstract
ON the 16th inst., at a congregation held in the Senate House, Cambridge, the Cavendish Laboratory was formally presented to the University by the Chancellor. The genius for research possessed by Prof. Clerk Maxwell and the fact that it is open to all students of the University of Cambridge for researches will, if we mistake not, make this before long a building very noteworthy in English science. We therefore put before our readers, as prominently as we can, a description of it.
