Abstract

IT is probably known to some that a project has been started, and is already well advanced, to found'a prize for physics at St. Peter's College, Cambridge, as a tribute to the memory of the late Pref. Tait, of Edinburgh, honorary fellow of the college. Besides members of the college who have heartily taken part in the enterprise, many friends of Prof. Tait, both in Belfast and, Edinburgh, have recorded their appreciation of him and.of his great services to the advancement of science by joining in this memorial of him at the college of which he was so brilliant a member; and it is believed that others, if they were made aware of the proposal, would desire, for a like reason, to be associated with it. Mr. I. D. H. Dickson, St. Peter's College, Cambridge, will reply to any inquiries, and until more formal thanks are made by the college, will gratefully receive and acknowledge any donations that may be sent to him for the purpose of the memorial.
