( 3 ) ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF The Lister Institute of Preventive Medicine, May 2Ist, 1935. REPORT OF THE GOVERNING BODY. Tlie Governing Body lias the honour to present the Institute’s 41st Annual Report. GOVERNING BODY. The personnel of the Governing Body has undergone one change during the year. Owing to his public commitments Sir William Goschen, one of the representatives of Lord Moyne, was compelled to resign his seat upon the Board and has been succeeded by Lord Horder. At the meeting held last year, the Council re-elected Professor W. Bulloch, Professor A. E. Boycott and Professor A. Harden as its representatives on the Governing Body until December 31st, 1935. COUNCIL. At the Annual General Meeting last year the three members of Council retiring were Lord Mildmay of Flete, representing the Royal Agricultural Society, Professor A. Harden and Professor J. C. G. Ledingham, representatives of the Members. Each of these representatives was re-appointed a member of the Council. A vacancy created in the representation of the Members of the Institute by the death of Sir Walter Fletcher, was filled by the appointment of Professor R. Robison. The three members of Council, who in accordance with the Articles of Association retire this year by rotation, but who are eligible for re-election, are Professor R. T. Hewlett, Dr. L. C. Parkes and Dr. Harriette Chick, three representatives of the Members of the Institute. MEMBERS. The Governing Body regrets to announce the death during the year of Sir James Kingston Fowler, who served as a member of the Governing Body from 1918 till 1931, of Professor Georges Dreyer who had represented the University of Oxford upon the Council since 1920, and of Sir John Rose Bradford who was an original member of the Council of the Institute, served as a member of the Governing Body from its inception in 1899 to 1918, and acted as Chairman from 1912 to 1914. STAFF. The Director, at the invitation of the Johns Hopkins University, delivered the Herter Lectures on “ Studies on Virus Problems ” at Baltimore in December last. Dr. A. Felix by arrangement with the Colonial Office, spent two months in Palestine investigating the curative properties of a new Anti-typhoid serum, in collaboration with physicians at Jaffa, Telaviv and Jerusalem. Dr. C. Russell Amies completed his appointment as an Institute Research Fellow in Bacteriology on December 31st. He is continuing to work at the Institute under the auspices of the British Empire Cancer Campaign. Dr. L. A. Elson, Jenner Memorial Research Student and Mr. V. N. Patwardhan, Grocers’ Company Research Student, completed the tenure of their studentships on May 31st and September 30th respec­ tively. During the year Mr. S. S. Randall has continued to hold an Institute Research Studentship in Biochemistry and Mr. R. O. Jones the Morna Macleod Research Studentship, which is endowed by Mr. W. A. Macleod. Mr. Eric Downing, B.Sc. was appointed Grocers’ Company Research Student on April 1st and is attached to the Department of Biochemistry. ( 4 ) RESEARCH WORK. Before surveying the scientific work carried out during the year in the various departments, the Governing Body desires again to record its appreciation of the continued co-operation it has enjoyed with the Medical Research Council. Salaries of the staff of the National Collection of Type Cultures, of Miss Hume and Dr. Zilva and his assistants and part salaries of Professor Korenchevsky and Miss Hume’s assistant have been furnished by the Council, the Institute providing, as hitherto, accommodation for each of these workers and the necessary materials for their researches. The Governing Body also desires to record its gratitude to the Rockefeller Foundation, which through its European Assistant Director of Medical Sciences, Dr. Daniel P. O’Brien, has made a grant of £3,400 to the Institute for the purchase of a velocity and an equilibrium centrifuge with their accessories to be manufactured in Professor Svedberg’s workshop in Upsala.

  • Half a Century of Medical Research
    Medical Research Council Half a Century of Medical Research Volume One: Origins and Policy of The Medical Research Council (UK) A. Landsborough Thomson Half a Century of Medical Research The Medical Research Council, established in 1920 but in effect inaugurated seven years earlier as the Medical Research Committee, is a prototype among official research organisations. Sir Landsborough Thomson was particularly well qualified for writing its history since he joined the staff of the original Committee in 1919 and as second officer at the Council’s headquarters was closely involved in developments for nearly 40 years. The work is being published in two volumes. This first volume recounts the general history of the Council, particularly the constitutional and administrative aspects of the origins of policy—both the early formulation of administrative principles and the initiation of what later became major developments in the scientific programme. The early chapters chronicle the beginnings of the Council and the predecessor Committee in detail; the later ones discuss broader questions, such as the reasons why particular methods were chosen for the promotion of research, the circumstances in which certain subjects were selected for special support, and the considerations governing the relation between science and administration. Volume Two will deal with the development of the Council’s scientific programme (see the back flap). As Sir Harold Himsworth writes in his introduction to the book, national as well as departmental policy is coming to depend increasingly on the objective quality of the scientific knowledge available, and the organisational pattern of which the research councils are the prototype might find increasing application.
