Abstract
THE Chemical and Physical Society, now the senior Society of University College, London, opened its sixtieth session on October 15. Before a large and distinguished gathering Dr. Henry Forster Morley, a founder-member and third president of the Society, unveiled oak panels bearing the names of the former presidents, many of whom were actually present. It was unfortunate that Sir Oliver Lodge, who was president of the Society in its first two years, was unavoidably absent on this occasion. The unveiling itself, in accordance with the principles of the Society, was performed electrically by means of an engraved silver switch, which was afterwards formally presented to Dr. Forster Morley. Mr. C. F. Goodeve, this year's president, who was in the chair, then introduced the other speakers, among whom were the Provost, who accepted the panels on behalf of the College, and Prof. A. W. Porter and Prof. M. W. Travers, who made a few interesting remarks about the earlier presidents. The secretary, Mr. R. H. Leach, thanked the many friends of the Society for their assistance, financial and otherwise.
