Abstract
NEARLY forty pages of parts 21-23 of Die Natur-wissenschaften, 1933, are devoted to an account of the activities of the Kaiser Wilhelm Gesellschaft during the period April 1932 until March 1933. The financial stringency has been felt during the year just as much as it was last year, and research work has had to be cut down to a minimum in several departments. It has also affected the membership, which has fallen from 829 to 786. At the headquarters-Harnack House-five evening lectures on scientific subjects and five of a popular character have been delivered, and four have been given in other towns of Germany. Many members of the staff have also been invited to address scientific gatherings outside Germany, and several have accepted permanent posts in the United States, Switzerland and Sweden. 230 foreign men of science have during the year put up for short periods at Harnack House, as compared with 242 the previous year, and 190 meetings of other societies have been accommodated as against 212 during the previous year. 445 additions have been made during the year to the library. Information of this general nature is followed by a short account of the work done in each section of the Association and a list of the publications emanating from it.
