Abstract
AMONG the portraits of men of science and others known in scientific circles in this year's Royal Academy Exhibition, that of Sir Frederick Gowland Hopkins (196), by Meredith Frampton, a reproduction of which appears on this page, has led to considerable discussion as to extent to which a portrait should dominate its background. Other portraits to which reference may be made in these columns are: Sir David Milne-Watson, Bt., governor of the Gas Light and Coke Company (166), by Harold Knight ; Sir Joseph Barcroft (263), by R. G. Eves ; Lord Wake field (371), by I. M. Cohen ; Sir Frederick Moore (600), by Dermod O'Brien ; and Havelock Ellis (1094), by Robin Guthrie. There is a sculptured head of Sir Michael Sadler (1571), by Loris Rey ; and a head of Kelvin (1564), by Norman Tyrrell. Among the medals are that of the Institute of Metals (1471), by Harold Stabler ; and the Hele Shaw Medal of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (1485), by H. Paget. The architectural drawings include the National Institute for Medical Research at Mill Hill (1260), by Maxwell Ayrton ; Beaumont Street extension of the Ash-molean Museum, Oxford (1277), by Stanley Hall and Easton and Robertson ; the completed scheme of the house of the British Medical Association (1317), by Douglas and J. D. Wood ; and the Palaces of Engineering (1360) and Industry (1366) of the Empire Exhibition, Scotland, 1938, by Thomas S. Tait.
