Abstract
IN 1910 the gas industry endowed the Livesey chair at the University of Leeds to perpetuate the memory of Sir George Livesey, the eminent engineer of the South Metropolitan Gas Company. It was first held by W. A. Bone, who was followed by J. W. Cobb in 1912, and by D. T. A. Townend in 1938. When in 1945 the University granted Prof. Townend leave of absence to take charge of the British Coal Utilisation Research Association (Nature, 155,783; 1945), Dr. A. L. Roberts, senior lecturer in refractory materials, was appointed acting head, and he has now been appointed to the chair.
