Abstract
I FIRST met Sir Oliver Lodge about the year 1877 when he used to come to South Kensington for the May examinations of the Science and Art Department. At that time the Physical Society used to meet on Saturday afternoons, and the meetings were very different in character from what they became when the time of meeting was changed to Friday afternoon. They were less severe, and the friendly and almost chatty atmosphere of a tea party prevailed. Lodge was very much at home on these occasions, and he was always listened to with interest. His clear speaking and characteristic and musical voice and originality of view made his contributions to the discussions valued and attractive.
