Abstract
IT is now an open secret that the Academic Council of the University of London is being moved not to appoint an eminent organic chemist to succeed Prof. Robinson in the chair of organic chemistry in University College, London, but to fill the two chairs of chemistry in this institution by distinguished physical chemists. The acceptance of such a fantastic proposition would disturb the balance of natural philosophical studies in University College so profoundly that immediate public protest is necessary, and the more so in that organic chemistry is not directly represented on the Academic Council.
