Abstract
AT the meeting of the Royal Soeiety held on June 18, the President, Sir Frederick Gowland Hopkins, opened a discussion on the chemistry of the vitamins. He said that although many discoveries had been communicated in the past to the Society, there had been very few papers dealing with the vitamins. He felt great satisfaction that this discussion should occur during the first year of his presidency, especially as the subject was still growing in interest. The Society were to be congratulated on the presence of a number of foreign workers, so that the discussion would have an international character. As the subject was so vast, he proposed to limit it to the chemistry of the vitamins, and suggested that vitamins D, A, and the B complex be taken in that order.
