Abstract
THE position of mineralogy in the studies of the University of Cambridge is the subject of a report by a syndicate appointed by a Grace of the Senate dated May 12, 1928, in accordance with a recommendation made on the election, for a term of five years, of the present professor of mineralogy in 1926. The Syndicate held five meetings, at some of which the professor of mineralogy was present by invitation. The members also had before them a memorandum on the history and present position of the Department by the professor of mineralogy (published as an appendix to the report), and a memorandum on the study of structural crystallography in Great Britain and on the Continent prepared by the University lecturer in that subject. The University reader in petrology was a member of the Syndicate. The main recommendations which have been put forward were reported in a note in NATURE of May 18, p. 780.
