Abstract
PROF. HENRY NORRIS RUSSELL, research professor of astronomy at the University of Princeton, has been elected to an honorary fellowship at King's College, Cambridge. Prof. Russell, who is the doyen of American astronomers, graduated as Ph.D. at Princeton, after which he entered King's College, Cambridge, as an advanced student in 1902, and was in residence at Cambridge for three years. During that time he carried out research in collaboration with Mr. A. R. Hinks, now secretary of the Royal Geographical Society, upon parallax, and the methods they developed have become standard. This no doubt was a first step on the way to some of Prof. Russell's most notable work.
