Abstract
THE article which appears in NATURE, vol. xiv. p. 125, on the Organisation of the Profession of Chemistry throws doubt on the expediency of effecting the proposed organisation through the instrumentality of a society which has solely occupied itself with the extension and diffusion of knowledge, viz., the Chemical Society. It farther proposes that as it would be a wide departure from the functions which the Chemical Society has hitherto performed to undertake the appointment of a Board of Examiners, the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge, and London should be asked to co-operate in the matter, being already formed examining bodies, which would probably command and deserve greater confidence than a board nominated by a newly formed Institute, or even by the Chemical Society.
