Abstract
THE science schools committee of Trinity College, Dublin, is to be congratulated on the completion of the second item in its scheme for the scientific development of Trinity College. This project, which was in the first instance originated by Prof. John Joly, F.R.S., and has since owed much to his activity and devotion, was inaugurated in 1901 by a handsome subscription from the chancellor, the Earl of Rosse. At an early stage in the movement success was assured by a munificent gift from Viscount Iveagh. According to the terms of this gift, Lord Iveagh undertook to build those departments for which the friends of Trinity College subscribed a capital sum requisite to yield the annual upkeep. Last year the School of Physics was completed, and at the beginning of the present session the School of Botany, the second department which has been benefited by this movement, was opened for work.
