Abstract
THE Cawthron Institute at Nelson, New Zealand, was founded and endowed through the munificence of Mr. Thomas Cawthron, who was born in 1833, and after his death his trustees decided that a research institute for the investigation of agricultural problems should be established as the best means of carrying out his expressed desire. The Cawthron centenary lecture, “The Achievements of the Cawthron Institute”, delivered on October 9 by Prof. T. H. Easterfield on his retirement from the directorship of the Institute, formed a fitting epilogue to the first Cawthron lecture, “The Aims and Ideals of the Cawthron Institute”, given by him in 1917.
