Abstract
We regret to see the announcement of the death, on June 22, of Sir Alexander M'Robert, at the age of sixty-eight years. After acting for a time as a lecturer in experimental physics and in chemistry, in Aberdeen, Sir Alexander went to India, where he passed the greater part of his life, closely associated with technical education. He was made a fellow of the University of Allahabad in the Faculty of Science, served on the committee of management of the Government Engineering College, Roorkee, and also as governor of the Agricultural College, Cawnpore. Sir Alexander had travelled extensively in many parts of the world, and received knighthood for his services in 1910, being created K.B.E. in 1919.
