Abstract
ON May 14, H.R.H. the Prince of Wales opened the new Mining Department of Armstrong College. In his opening speech he said, “The industry is confronted with stem competition from overseas. It must be equipped to meet that competition, and I think it is generally agreed that it is to science that we must look in our distress. Science must show the way to an improvement in our methods, and scientific training must be available both for the leaders and the rank and file, so as to ensure that no single ounce of energy is lost in the tug-of-war against our competitors.”
