Abstract
ON July 6 the Aerotechnical Institute of the University of Paris, which has been founded by the generosity of M. Henry Deutsch de la Meurthe, was inaugurated at St. Cyr. Its object is entirely scientific, and is to study all problems of aviation and aerostation relative to the support of bodies in the air, both at rest and motion, from the double point of view of theory and practice. Under the presidency of the vice-rector of the Paris University, with M. Deutsch de la Meurthe and the dean of the faculty of sciences of the Paris University as vice-presidents, the council includes all the famous names in French aeronautics, as follows: MM. Armengaud, Barthou, Baumés, Bleriot, Bouttieaux, Cailletet, Carpentier, Eiffel, Estienne, Hugon, Janet, Jouguet, Kapferer, Kcenigs, Le Cornu, Loreau, Maurain, Marchis, Painlevé, Picard, Sauvage, Soreau, Surcouf, Urbain, Voisin, Weiss.
