Abstract
CAMBRIDGE.—An interesting ceremony took place on Saturday last, when a portrait of Prof. G. D. Liveing, painted by Sir John Reid, president of the Royal Scottish Academy, was presented to St. John's College as a mark of recognition of Prof. Liveing's services to science. The portrait was provided by subscription, and the funds obtained will also enable a bronze bust of Prof. Liveing to be placed in the Chemical Laboratory at Cambridge. The Vice-Chancellor (Dr. Ward, Master of Peterhouse) presided at the meeting of subscribers, and the attendance included the Lord Lieutenant, Sir John Gorst, Sir Richard Jebb, the Masters of Trinity, St. John's, Clare, Jesus, Christ's, and Downing, Profs. Sir George Stokes, E. C. Clark, J. Dewar, W. J. Lewis, A. R. Forsyth, J. Westlake, J. J. Thomson, J. A. Ewing, W. W. Skeat and J. S. Reid, besides many other resident members of the Senate.
