Abstract
THE fifth annual meeting of the guild was held at the Mansion House on April 7, under the presidency of the Lord Mayor. There was a fairly good attendance, and the number of well-known leaders in the field of technical and scientific education was large. Sir William White presented the annual report, “and referred to the progress made during the year in various directions. Of the special activities of the guild, he mentioned the work of the subcommittees upon agricultural education, the proposed museum at South Kensington for the physical and mechanical sciences, medical education, and the relation of the Imperial College of Science and Technology with the University of London. From the annual report itself we learn that committees have also been investigating the problems involved in the conservation of natural sources of energy and the coordination of charitable effort. The guild has further benefited science and the community by its successful action in regard to the site of the Solar Physics Observatory; the existence of the science section at the Japan-British Exhibition, and the inclusion of a similar section in the plans for the forthcoming Coronation Exhibition, are also in large measure due to the guild's influence.
