Abstract
THE meeting of the British Association at Oxford which ended on August 11 has been memorable in many ways; and not least for the specially interesting character of the proceedings at the concluding gathering held at the Examination Schools. The message received from the Prince of Wales as president summed up in felicitous language the aims and prospects of the cause of science, the advancement of which it is the object of the Association to promote. The message also conveyed, in graceful terms, the president's appreciation of, and thanks for, the efforts made by all concerned to render the Oxford meeting of 1926 one of the most successful in the records of the Association. The reply read by Sir Oliver Lodge as chairman gave due expression to the gratitude felt by the members assembled at Oxford for the keen personal interest and sympathy shown by the Princs in the work of the Association, notably in his inaugural address.
