Organisation in Chemical Societies

Abstract

IN common with all other members of the Chemical Society, I have received a notice to the effect that there is to be a virtual increase in the annual subscription, in that an extra charge will be made for the Annual Reports, which have hitherto been supplied to members free of charge, and at the same time directing attention to the need for increasing the membership of the Society. I have little doubt that the result will be that many members of the Society will not purchase the Report; but as this publication appeals particularly to students, and as it is from men of this class that the Society should draw its new members, I fear that the new policy will defeat its own object.
