Abstract
THE ninety-first annual meeting of the British Association, which closed at Liverpool on Wednesday, September 19, was one of the most successful in the history of the Association, and all who have been concerned in the arrangements for it, whether local or sectional, are to be congratulated upon the gratifying result of their work. More than three thousand members attended the meeting, and the facilities afforded them for social amenities and scientific discussion were much appreciated by all. As nominated by the Council, Sir David Bruce was elected by the General Committee as president for the meeting to be held in Toronto on September 3–10 of next year. The Committee also cordially accepted the invitation from Southampton to meet there in 1925. On Monday, September 17, the honorary degree of doctor of science of the University of Liverpool was conferred upon the following distinguished men of science: Sir Ernest Rutherford; Prof. Niels Bohr, professor of physics in the University of Copenhagen; Dr. E. H. Griffiths; Prof. G. N. Lewis, professor of chemistry, University of California; Prof. G. Elliot Smith, professor of anatomy in University College, London; Dr. Johs. Schmidt, director of the Carlsberg Laboratory, Copenhagen; and Prof. J. C. McLennan, professor of physics in the University of Toronto.
