Abstract
NEW HONORARY MEMBERS. THE proceedings at the centenary celebrations at the Royal Institution were marked by the presentation of diplomas of honorary membership to six distinguished foreign chemical workers. The presentations were made by the president of the Institution, His Grace the Duke of Northumberland, and the recipients, two of whom were represented by fellow-countrymen who were able to be present, were introduced by the secretary of the Institution, Sir Arthur Keith, in the following words: GABRIEL EMILE BERTRAND, professor of biological chemistry at the Sorbonne, Paris, and Director of the Laboratory of Biological Chemistry at the Institut Pasteur. Prof. Bertrand is distinguished as an inquirer into bacterial activity, particularly in connexion with oxidation phenomena, of which he has made a special study. He has also paid great attention to the influence of minute quantities of metals not usually regarded as acting upon the course of vital change.
