Abstract
THE honours conferred by the King on the occasion of his sixty-fifth birthday appear to be mainly for political services, and there is little recognition of the claims of science. Mr. John Tweedy, president of the Royal College of Physicians, has received the honour of knighthood; Colonel R. C. Hellard, director-general of the Ordnance Survey, and Mr. F. G. Ogilvie, principal assistant secretary (Technology and Higher Education in Science and Art) Board Of Education, have been appointed Companions of the Order of the Bath; Colonel D. A. Johnston, formerly director-general of the Ordnance Survey, has been appointed a Knight Commander of the Order of Saint Michael and Saint George; Prof. R. W. Hoyce, F.R.S., has received the honour of knighthood; and Dr. J. Lang, Vice-Chancellor and principal of the University of Aberdeen, has been appointed a Commander of the Royal Victorian Order.
