Abstract
AT a meeting of the Glasgow University Court held on the 13th inst., Principal Story presiding, a petition for leave to retire from the chair of Natural Philosophy was presented from Lord Kelvin. The Court granted the leave asked, and accepted Lord Kelvin's resignation with deep regret. A remit was made to the Principal to prepare a minute to be signed by all the members of the Court, expressing their sense of the great loss that the University is now to sustain. Lord Kelvin has occupied the chair for fifty-three years.
