Abstract
AN exhibition devoted to the cultural relations between the University of Moscow and the universities and scientific institutions of Great Britain and the United States is now open in one of the halls of the University, where the bomb damage suffered in an enemy raid last year has now been made good. The exhibits include many editions of the scientific works of Faraday, Clerk Maxwell, Scott and others, and correspondence between British and American men of science and members of the Russian Natural History Society. Of special interest is a section reflecting the scientific relations between Russian and British scientific workers. There is the unpublished correspondence between Lord Kelvin and Prof. Umov, who was an honorary member of Cambridge University. There is also a selection of letters exchanged between British and American botanists and zoologists. One of the exhibits is a photograph of the famous Russian naturalist Timiryazov wearing' the robes of a doctor of the University of Cambridge.
