Abstract
Prof. E. P. ADAMS, Princeton University, N.J. IT is pleasant to have this opportunity to express the satisfaction I feel in having had the privilege of working in the Cavendish Laboratory under Sir Joseph Thomson. Modern physics owes much to his genius; in fact, modern physics is very largely built upon the work he himself did and the ideas he furnished to the workers in the Cavendish Laboratory. Under his inspiring leadership the Cavendish Laboratory became the dominant centre for physical research, attracting students from all over the world who wished to come under his influence.
