Abstract
BRISTOL is peculiarly fortunate in possessing a unique organisation for the encouragement of research at its University. Originally founded in 1899 and named in honour of the famous philan thropist, Edward Colston, its funds were at first applied to the support of the then University College in connection with its proposed expansion to a Uni versity. This accomplished, the Colston University Research Society undertook the distinctive function of supporting research work within the University, and since 1910 some 3700l. have been raised and applied to scientific investigations, which in most cases could not otherwise have been carried out; these include contributions to medicine, engineering, and to the general advancement of knowledge.
