Abstract
THE tenth annual meeting of the Imperial Cancer Re-search Fund was held on July 20 at the Royal College of Surgeons, the Duke of Bedford presiding. The presidents of the Royal Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons, Sir Wm. Church, Sir Douglas Powell, Sir John McFadyean, Sir Henry Morris, Sir John Tweedy, Dr. Sidney Martin, Mrs. Bischoffsheim, and many other supporters of the fund were present. Sir Wm. Church, in moving the adoption of the annual report, gave an outline of Dr. Bashford's statement of the progress of knowledge of cancer, from which we give some extracts below. In seconding the resolution, Sir Henry Morris directed attention to the widespread influence exercised by the investigations of the scientific staff. This was evidenced in one way by the number of distinguished voluntary workers attracted to the laboratory from abroad, not only from all European countries, but also from America, Australia, and Japan, and in another way by the number of learned societies at home and abroad which invited the director to address them. Thus Dr. Bashford had visited, among other centres, Berlin, Heidelberg, Toronto, Paris, Budapest, Christiania, and Utrecht. Its influence was felt in a third way by the large increase in the number of centres engaged in the investigation of cancer in the laboratory. The other business was purely formal.
