Abstract
ON the death of Sir Julius Wernher in 1912, Sir Otto Beit took his place as a representative of the Crown on the Governing Body of the Imperial College of Science and Technology, thus preserving unbroken the close connexion of the College with the famous firm of Wernher, Beit and Co. Sir Julius Wernher himself was an original member of the Governing Body, and took an influential part in the negotiations which led to the foundation of the College in 1907. Practically the whole of the endowment of the College since its incorporation has been provided by Sir Julius Wernher, Mr. Alfred Beit, and Sir Otto Beit.
