Abstract
THE short but extremely useful address of the President, A. H. Green, Professor of Geology at Oxford, formerly of Mathematics and Geology at the Yorkshire College, dealt with the educational aspect of Geology. Although he dwelt on the risk of becoming loose reasoners, which geologists continually ran, the President pointed out how by a proper training in minute and delicate experimental work, the student might be taught the necessity of exactness, and could then proceed to practical work, which would lead him into the open air, and compel him to acquire the eye and enthusiasm necessary for geological research.
