Abstract
THE success of the meeting of the British Association, which opens in Bournemouth on September 9, should be a foregone conclusion if one may judge by its appeal to the imagination. It may be said that a scientific history of the war will be presented. Commencing with the inaugural address of the president (the Hon. Sir Charles A. Parsons, K.C.B.), which will deal with “Engineering and the War,” throughout the week the invaluable war-work of men of science, which played so magnificent a part in our victory, will be the subject of a great variety of lectures and debates. Secrets which have hitherto been jealously preserved will be made public, and it should be possible after the meeting to estimate as never before the enormous importance of science in modern military operations.
