Abstract
ON St. Andrew's Day, November 30, the customary anniversary meeting of the Royal Society was held, and Sir Frederick Gowland Hopkins delivered his presidential address. In the course of the address, he referred to the work of the fourteen fellows and four foreign members of the Society who have died since the last anniversary meeting. Speaking of the Report of Council, he stated that a gift of 10,000 has been recently received at the instance of Prof. P. E. Newberry and Mrs. Newberry from the trustees of the late William Johnston, of Liverpool, for the foundation of a fellowship or studentship for research on problems of health. He also said that, in the last ten years, both the Philosophical Transactions and Proceedings of the Society have doubled in bulk, while the Society's present expenditure on research is nearly ten times that of twenty-five years ago.
