Abstract
THREE hundred years ago there arrived in England a Czech exile, Jan Amos Komenský, better known by the Latinized form of his name, Comenius. This refugee from an earlier persecution of his nation came at the invitation of Parliament in order to lay before contemporary men of learning his views on education and the organization of science in the service of mankind. It was, therefore, appropriate that the tercentenary of Comenius+s visit was commemorated at Cambridge on October 24.
