Abstract
THIS little work is a Festschrift in honour of Prof. Righi, giving an account of the ceremony recently held to celebrate the completion of his twenty-fifth year of university teaching. This period really expired in 1905, but it was by the committee organising the fêtes to postpone the celebration so as to make it coincide with the inauguration of the new Institute of Physics at Bologna, which is placed under Prof. Righi's charge. The ceremony actually took place on April 12. Prof. Righi delivered, his first lecture in the new building, choosing for his subject the “Hypothesis of the Electrical Nature of Matter.” Prof. Blaserna, on behalf of the subscribers, then presented the lecturer with a bust of himself in bronze Congratulatory letters and telegrams received from all parts of the world were subsequently read. The Festschrift contains Prof. Righi's lecture printed in full, together with all speeches, letters, &c., received it is illustrated with many photographs of Prof. Righi and of the new institute. A complete list of Prof. Righi's scientific publications, numbering two hundred and seventeen in all, and a chronological review of his career are appended.
