Abstract
AT a general meeting of the Society de l'lndustrie Minerale, St. Etienne, held on May 24, it was decided that the Society should, for the first time, elect honorary members, the terms of the modified statute being that “the title of Honorary Member can be given by the General Meeting to persons of foreign nationality who have promoted the mineral industry or the society by their works”. The first elections under the new statute are: Sir Robert Hadfield; Dr. C. E. Guillaume, director of the International Bureau of Weights and Measures; Prof. L. Denoel, professor of mining in the University of Liege; and Prof. P. Fourmarier, professor of geology in the University of Liege. The Societe de l'lndustrie Minerale, which was founded in 1855, is one of the leading associations of French engineers, and has a roll of nearly two thousand members.
