Abstract
IT has been a pleasure to men of science in Great Britain to see the growing interest taken and progress made in science in India. The rapidly increasing list of original investigators, and the importance of many of their papers, contributed not only to their own institutions but also to learned societies in Great Britain, are a source of sincere gratification. Forty years ago (1896) I was present at the opening of the completed Indian Institute in Oxford, by the ex-Viceroy, Lord Dufferin, accompanied by Mr. Asquith (afterwards Prime Minister and Lord Oxford), who made a remarkable speech in welcoming our Indian co-subjects of the British Crown to partake of the best of our educational facilities. The fraternal lead then given has borne such wonderful fruit that India itself is now providing all that is needful, without any longer feeling the necessity of expatriating its sons to Europe for their higher education.
