Abstract
A BRILLIANT company assembled in the hall of Pembroke College, Cambridge, on Saturday, November 12, to celebrate by a dinner the centenary of the grant of a Royal Charter to the Cambridge Philosophical Society. Dr. A. Hutchinson, the Master of the College and president of the Society, was in the chair, and the occasion was honoured by the presence of H.R.H. Prince George. Among other distinguished people present were Mr. Stanley Baldwin, Chancellor of the University, the presidents of the Royal Society and of the British Association, and presidents or directors of many other leading scientific societies and institutions. The toast of the Society was proposed by Prince George and replied to by Dr. Hutchinson. The Master of Trinity proposed the toast of the guests, and responses were made by Mr. Baldwin and Sir William Bragg.
