Abstract
AN event of the first importance in the scientific world, the jubilee of the Physical Society, was marked by a series of celebration meetings held on March 20-21 at the Institution of Electrical Engineers, an exhibition of apparatus and demonstrations of great historical interest, and a banquet held at the Connaught Rooms on March 22. The labours of Prof. A. O. Rankine and those who helped him to organise the celebrations were rewarded by the spontaneous vigour which characterised the proceedings throughout their course. At the banquet Mr. F. E. Smith made the important suggestion that kindred societies which, like the Physical Society, do not possess a building of their own should unite in providing a common home in some central position.
