Abstract
AT the great age of ninety-three, Dr. Alexander Scott died at Ringwood, Hampshire, on March 10. He was educated at Selkirk Grammar School, of which his father was rector, and at the University of Edinburgh, where he took first place in chemistry. In 1875 he became assistant to the Jacksonian professor at Cambridge, and having been awarded a Clothworkers' Exhibition in 1876 and a foundation scholarship of Trinity College in 1878, he gained a first class in the Natural Sciences Tripos in 1879.
