Abstract
THE annual meeting of the Institution of Naval Architects opened on Wednesday, March 27, at the Royal Society of Arts, and extended over Thursday and Friday. The annual gold medal of the institution was presented to Prof. E. G. Coker for his paper on the determination of stresses by the photo-elastic method. Premiums were also awarded to Mr. C. E. Inglis and Mr. J. Montgomerie for papers read at the last spring meeting. The first award of a scholarship of 200l. per annum from the 1851 Exhibition Commissioners has been made to Mr. Arthur Cannon on the recommendation of the council of the institution. Mr. Cannon is pursuing a course of research work at Glasgow University in problems connected with the rolling of ships, and read a preliminary paper at this meeting on the effect of an internal free fluid upon the initial stability.
