HE Thirty-seventh Annual General Meeting of the T Institute of Chemistry of Great Britain and Ireland was held at the new premises of the Institute, 30, Russell Square, London, W.C., on Monday, March Ist, 1915, at 4.30 p.m. ; Professor Raphael Meldola, President, in the Chair. The minutes of the Thirty-sixth Annual General Meeting having been read and confirmed, Mr. A. Gordon Salamon, Honorary Treasurer, submitted the Financial Statements for the year rgrq. The Honorary Treasurer remarked that the year 1914 was an abnormal one financially in several respects. The main items had been noted in the Report of Council ; the examination fees received were $483 less than in the previous year, but the Institute had received the proceeds of the Redemption Policies on the lease and laboratories at 30, Bloomsbury Square. Published on 01 January 1915. Downloaded by University of California - Santa Cruz 29/10/2014 22:24:52. On the expenditure side there was an increase on the printing expenses and also an increase under the heading of Salaries and Wages, but a saving was effected by the discontinuance temporarily of the Lectures Scheme. Of the proceeds of the Redemption Policies (f3,755) all except $200 was invested before the end of the year.
