Abstract
THE International Illumination Congress, which took place on Sept. 1–19, was the first conference of this kind to be held in Great Britain. Something like twenty different countries were represented and the number of names on the official membership list exceeded 500. It may be recalled that the Congress consisted of two distinct sections: the initial period during which members visited in succession London, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Buxton, Sheffield, and Birmingham; and the subsequent stage, on Sept. 13–19, which took place at Cambridge and was devoted to the proceedings of the International Commission on Illumination. During the first period more than a hundred different papers on varied subjects were presented and discussed; at Cambridge, reports from the various national committees surveying progress in different fields or making suggestions for international action were presented, and in some cases effect was given to these suggestions by suitable resolutions.
