Abstract
THIS year's anniversary meeting of the Royal Society, an account of which is given elsewhere in the present issue of NATURE, was the first since Sir Alfred Yarrow made his munificent gift of ioo,ooqZ. to the Society in February last, βto mark my sense of the value of research to the community.β The meeting was, therefore, appropriately devoted in the main to an account by the president, Sir Charles Sherrington, of the purposes to which this and other large benefactions are to be used. The essential aim of the Society is the creation of new knowledge by scientific inquiry, and the new professorships which have been founded through recent gifts will promote and facilitate this intention.
