Abstract
THE seventh International Congress of Applied Chemistry was opened on Thursday, May 27, in the afternoon, at the Royal Albert Hall by the Prince of Wales, who was accompanied by the Princess. A very large gathering was present, and the Prince, who spoke as vice-patron, the King being patron, offered in His Majesty's name a most hearty welcome, and expressed the King's pleasure that the foreign delegates would be able to visit Windsor Castle. It is only recently that the Prince, as president of the Board of Trade Committee to deal with exhibitions, directed attention to the importance of scientific progress, and at the opening of the congress he accentuated the value of scientific progress in words of such importance that we reproduce a portion of his speech verbatim.
