Abstract
A MEETING of the trustees of the Beit Memorial Fellowships for Medical Research, Sir Alfred Beit, the Earl of Onslow, Lord Harlech, Lord Rayleigh, Lord Macmillan of Aberfeldy, Prof. T. R. Elliott and Dr. H. L. Eason, was held on July 19, 1939. They received with regret the resignation from the advisory board of Sir F. Gowland Hopkins, who throughout the long period of twenty-five years has given wise counsel at the meetings of the Board and in his Biochemical Department at Cambridge has directed the research studies of perhaps a greater proportion of those elected to Beit Fellowships than any other head of a department has done. They also regretted the resignation of Sir Patrick Laidlaw after eight years of keenly attentive work. These vacancies were filled by the appointment to the Board of Prof. R. A. Peters, Whitley professor of biochemistry, University of Oxford, and of Dr. Paul Fildes, bacteriologist on the scientific staff of the Medical Research Council.
