Abstract

THE Royal Society is compiling a register of scientific and technical men in Great Britain and Ireland, who are willing to give their services in connection with the war. The register will be classified into subjects, and will ultimately constitute a large panel of men of standing, whose services will be available whenever any Government department or similar authority requires specialist assistance. The register is being co-ordinated with those independently compiled by other societies and institutions, but the Royal Society would be glad to have applications for forms from such members of the staffs of colleges and technical institutions as have not yet been registered by any society. The Royal Society is also drawing up, with the co-operation of the principal societies and institutions, a list of scientific and technical men actually on active service in His Majesty's forces. Any names, with rank and unit, for this list will be gratefully received by the secretaries at Burlington House, Piccadilly, W.
