Abstract
BY the sudden death of Mr. I. O. Griffith on September 22, the day before his sixty–first birthday, the University of Oxford, and especially the science faculties, have lost more than can be easily measured. As member of the Hebdomadal Council, vice–chairman of the General Board, chairman of the Board of Faculty, treasurer of the Natural Science Club, he held a key position in the scientific administration in the University. Whatever the branch of science and however remote from his own special loves, mathematics and physics, he could always be counted upon to make every effort to help to bring a project to fruition. He will be indeed difficult to replace in the councils of the University.
