Abstract
IN 1933 the British Science Guild established the. Research and Development Lectures, with the special object of directing public attention to the importance of scientific research and of the utilisation of its results in the service of mankind. The first lecture of the series was given in May 1933 by Sir Harold Carpenter, on “Metals in the Service of Human Life and Industry”. Early in 1934 the suggestion was made by Lord Melchett, president of the Guild, that the lectures should be given in the theatre of the Royal Institution, in which special equip ment and facilities exist for the experiments and demonstrations it was desired to have.- The pro posal was accepted by the managers of the Royal Institution and arrangements were made by which the British Science Guild had the use of the lecture theatre on two occasions in May.
