Abstract
THE seventh annual report, that for the year 1907–8, of the executive committee to the trustees of the Carnegie Trust for the Universities of Scotland, was submitted at a meeting held in London on February 24. The report contains a review of the activities of the trust during the seven years of its existence. In the first place, the committee directs special attention to the scheme of endowment of post-graduate study and research, which completed its first lustrum on September 30, 1908. The committee submitted the results of the scheme over the five years to independent authorities for examination, and report. For this purpose the services were obtained, in the physical and chemical sciences, of Dr. J. J. Dobbie, director of the Royal Scottish Museum, and formerly professor of chemistry in the University College of North Wales; in the biological and medical sciences, of Dr. J. Ritchie, superintendent of the Royal College of Physicians' Laboratory, and formerly professor of pathology in the University of Oxford; and in the historical, economic, and linguistic sciences, of Prof. P. Hume Brown, Historiographer-Royal for Scotland.
