Abstract
IN his presidential address to the British Association two years ago, H.R.H. the Prince of Wales gave a comprehensive and illuminating account of the various ways in which the aid of science was being invoked and encouraged to assist in the solution of the industrial and social problems confronting the nation. Not less important are the problems which the advance and application of science are creating in every sphere of national activity. Of fundamental importance is the effect which science is producing in craftsmanship; and it is peculiarly fitting that this should have been made the theme of the address in Glasgow of this year's president, Sir William Bragg, a consummate artist in a craft of his own creation, of which he is the greatest exponent. The address itself is printed in full in our Supplement (p. 353).
