Abstract
THE new buildings for the natural philosophy (Prof. MacGregor) and engineering (Prof. Hudson Beare) departments of the University of Edinburgh were opened on October 16 by Dr. Andrew Carnegie in the presence of a large and influential gathering. The proceedings took place in the large lecture theatre of the natural philosophy department, and were presided over by the Chancellor, the Right Hon. A. J. Balfour. Part of an address entitled “A Plea for Science Teaching,” delivered by Dr. Carnegie before declaring the buildings open, was printed in last week's NATURE (vol. lxxiv., p. 648).
