Abstract
ON the joint recommendation of the presidents of the Royal Society and the Institution of Civil Engineers, the Council of the Institution of Civil Engineers has awarded the James Alfred Ewing Medical for 1948 to Sir Edward Appleton. The medal is awarded annually, and was founded in 1936 in memory of Sir Alfred Ewing. This award has come appropriately when Sir Edward has just taken up his appointment as vice-chancellor of the University of Edinburgh, a position which Sir Alfred Ewing occupied with such distinction.
