Chemistry at the Centenary (1931) Meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science

Abstract

THE centenary meeting of the British Association, following on the celebrations of the centenary of Faraday's discovery of electromagnetic induction and preceding the Clerk Maxwell centenary at Cambridge, brought to London a number of eminent foreign visitors which was quite unique in the history of the Association, and is likely to remain unrivalled for many years to come. Although the visitors who came to England to pay honour to the work of Faraday and of Maxwell were primarily physicists, the boundaries between physics and chemistry have been so far obliterated that the officers of Section B (Chemistry) of the British Association were able to make full use of the opportunity which the occasion presented of providing a platform from which the leading workers in atomic physics could speak.
