Abstract
THE annual meeting of the Royal Institution was held on Tuesday, May 1, under the chairmanship of the treasurer, Sir Robert Robertson. The Visitors' Report for the year 1933 showed a substantial addition to the membership, the total (1020) at the end of the year, including honorary members, members and associate subscribers, being the highest reached since the War. The following officers were re-elected: President, The Right Hon. Lord Eustace Percy; Treasurer, Sir Robert Robertson; Secretary, Major Charles E. S. Phillips. The fulfilment by the Trustees of the Rockefeller Foundation of their promise, made in 1930, to give £20,000 for endowment of research in the Davy Faraday Laboratory, was publicly announced some months ago. In the Visitors' Report reference is made to this and other gifts to the Research Endowment Fund which has now been established at the Institution; and the Report of the Davy Faraday Laboratory Committee, which is printed with the Visitors' Report, gives interesting evidence of the work which is in progress with the funds now available from this and other sources.
