Abstract
THE fifteenth session of the Indian Science Congress was held in Calcutta on Jan. 2, 1928. In the absence through illness of His Excellency the Viceroy, who had intended to preside at the inaugural meeting in the Senate House of the University on Jan. 2, the proceedings were opened by His Excellency Sir Stanley Jackson, the Governor of Bengal. This is the third time the Congress has been held in the second city of the Empire, the first occasion being in 1914, when the first meeting was held, the second in 1921. To commemorate the fact that Calcutta was the birthplace of the Congress, and to bring out the rapid growth of this movement, the original Proceedings of the 1914 meeting were reprinted and distributed to the members. In fourteen years the space taken in recording these proceedings has increased seventeen-fold.
