Abstract
WE regret to record the death of Prof. David Robertson on January 8. He was born on December 26, 1875, and like his grandfather, David Robertson, LL.D., the well-known naturalist of Cumbrae, his bent was scientific. Educated at the Hermitage School, Helensburgh, he studied engineering and electricity in the West of Scotland Technical College and the University of Glasgow, where he gained the Sir John Pender Gold Medal, and where he took the degree of B.Sc.(Eng.). Later he was awarded the degree of doctor of science by his own University in recognition of his valuable research work.
