Since our last Anniversary Meeting, we, in common with the rest of the Empire, have had to deplore the loss of the gracious View Article Online 78 Sovereign whose mission of peace among the nations did so much It0 foster the steady growth of science. In the address of condolence and of loyalty to his throne which his Majesty King George V. was pleased to receive from the Chemical Society, the Council ventured to call to mind, not only our indebtedness to his late Majesty, but also how much the progress of chemistry in Great Britain was due to the wisdom and foresight of the Prince Consort in the early days of the Society. The Council is again in a position to report favourably on the progress of the Society, as indicated by an increase in the number of Fellows, and in the list of papers communicated. On the 31st December, 1909, the. number of Fellows was 3,003. During 1910, 165 Fellows have been elected, and 5 were reinstated, the gross total thus being 3,173. The Society has lost 18 Fellows by death; 38 have resigned; the election of 1 Fellow has become void, and 43 Fellows have had their names removed from the list of Fellows for non-payment of annual subscriptions. The total number of Fellows, therefore, at the 31st December, 1910, was 3,073, showing a net increase of TO over the preceding year. The names of the deceased Fellows, with the dates of their election, are : Richard Abegg (1906). Edwin Bernard Hadley (1 898). Eobert Barklie (1870). Angus Mackay (1877). Hobert Raslam Durward Benn, Sir Walter Palmer, Bart. (1879). (1904). Arthur Gaved Phillips (1887). Thomas Blackburn (1886). Richard Wightwick Roberts .Tames Campbell Brown (1867). (1889).

The Society has to mourn the loss of Professor Stanislao Cannizzaro, Professor Dr. Rudolf Fittig, and Geheim Rath Professor Dr. Hans Landolt, who died during 1910. It is with great pleasure that the Council offers its congratulations to the following gentlemen, who, during the past year, attained their Jubilee as Fellows of the Society: Published on 01 January 1911.

During the year 1910, 349 scientific communications have been made to the Society, 273 of which have been published already in the Transactions, and abstracts of all have appeared in the Proceedings. The volume of Transactions for 1910 contains 2,652 pages, of which 3,601 are occupied by 270 memoirs, the remaining 51 pages being devoted to the Obituary Notices, the Thomsen Memorial Lecture, the Report of the International Committee on Atomic Weights, the Report of €he Annual General Meeting, and the I’residential Address ; the volume for the preceding year contains 236 memoirs, which occupy 2,133 pages. View Article Online 80 The Journal for 1910 contains 4,867 abstracts, which extend to 2,032 pages, whilst the abstracts for 1909 numbered 4,946, and occupied 2,040 pages.

Odling, *the Right Hon. Sir Henry E. Roscoe, Sir William Crookes, Dr. Hugo Miiller, and Dr. A. G. Vernon Harcourt. The Banquet held on Friday, November llth, 1910, to do honour to Published on 01 January 1911. Downloaded by University of Prince Edward Island 22/10/2014 06:49:19. these gentlemen will remain a notable event in the history of the Chemical Society. To the great regret of all, Sir Henry Roscoe was, owing to indispmition, unable to be present. In order to render more complete the records and statistics of the Society, and to make them available to the Fellows at large, the Council has ordered the preparation of a complete chronological list of Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1841. Professor Theodore W. Richards has been invited to deliver the Faraday Lecture, and the Council has pleasure in announcing that, through the courtesy of the Managers, an extraordinary meeting of the Society will be held on June 14th in the Lecture Theatre of the Royal Institution, where all the Faraday Lectures have been given. The title of the discourse will be announced in due course. On behalf of the Society, the Council presented a Congratulatory View Article Online Address to its Honorary and Foreign Member, Professor Wilheh Korner, on the occasion of his seventieth birthday. By the death of Stanislao Cannizzaro, the Society has lost its Senior Honorary and Foreign Member, elected on June 19th, 1862. Sir William Tilden has accepted the invitation of the Council to deliver a Memorial Lecture in his honour. The Council has further arranged for the following Memorial Lectures to be delivered: Antoine Henri Becquerel (d. Aug. 25th, 1908). By Professor Ernest Rutherford, F.R.S. Marcellin Berthelot (d. March 18th, 1907). By Professor Harold B. Dixon, F.R.S. Henri Moissan (d. Feb. 20th, 1907). By Sir William Ramsay, E.C.B., F.R.S. In response to an appeal from the University of Toulouse for help in attempting to render good the almost complete destruction of the Science portion of its library by fire on October 27th last, the Council have decided to present the University with a number of volumes of the Transactions of the Chemical Society. It is unfortunately impossible for the Society on such an occasion as this to present a complete set of its publications, owing to the fact that many of the earlier volumes are out of print. A number of volumes of the Transactions has also been presented to the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg. In December, 1909, the International Commission for the pub- lication of Physical-Chemical Constants invited the Society to assist in the work of the Commission by contributing towards the expenses of its work. After due consideration, the Council has decided to make a contribution of 210 out of the funds of the Published on 01 January 1911.

An intimation has been received from the Secretary of the International Congress of Applied Chemistry that the Congress will meet in the first half of the month of September, 1912, the opening meeting to be held In Washington, and subsequent meetings of the Congress and its Sections in New York City. Professor A. Haller, on behalf of the Chemical Society of France, has invited the Chemical Society to co-operate in the formation of an International Committee to consider questions of chemical nomenclature and other matters, with a view to facilitate the reading of chemical researches published in different languages Professor Haller suggests that established Chemical Societies should appoint delegates to meet once or twice a year, and that questions View Article Online INCOME AND EXPENDITURE: ACCOUNT Income.

    THE LONG SEARCH FOR STABLE TRANSITION METAL ALKYLS Nobel Lecture, December 11, 1973 by G EOFFREY W ILKINSON Imperial College of Science & Technology, London, England Chemical compounds in which there is a single bond between a saturated car- bon atom and a transition metal atom are of unusual importance. Quite aside from the significance and role in Nature of the cobalt to carbon bonds in the vitamin B 12 system and possible metal to carbon bonds in other biological systems, we need only consider that during the time taken to deliver this lec- ture, many thousands, if not tens of thousands of tons of chemical compounds are being transformed or synthesised industrially in processes which at some stage involve a transition metal to carbon bond. The nonchemist will pro- bably be most familiar with polyethylene or polypropylene in the form of do- mestic utensils, packaging materials, children’s toys and so on. These materials are made by Ziegler-Natta* or Philipps’ catalysis using titanium and chro- mium respectively. However, transition metal compounds are used as catalysts in the synthesis of synthetic rubbers and other polymers, and of a variety of simple compounds used as industrial solvents or intermediates. For example alcohols are made from olefins, carbon monoxide and hydrogen by use of cobalt or rhodium catalysts, acetic acid is made by carbonylation of methanol using rhodium catalysts and acrylonitrile is dimerised to adiponitrile (for nylon) by nickel catalysts. We should also not forget that the huge quantities of petroleum hydrocarbons processed by the oil and petrochemical industry are re-formed over platinum, platinum-rhenium or platinum-germanium sup- ported on alumina.

  • Manchester University and the City: Aspects of Policy-Making in Higher Education, 1900-1930
    Manchester University and the City: Aspects of Policy-Making in Higher Education, 1900-1930 COLIN LEES AND ALEX ROBERTSON School of Education, University of Manchester It is generally agreed that the most characteristic aspect of the new 'civic' university colleges of the second half of the nineteenth century was involvement in the life of their community. 1 There can have been no better example of this than Owens College, the first of the civics in 1851. Until the re-foundation of 1871 the trustees were closely involved in the political, commercial and industrial life of the city and, by John Owens's will, they were required to live within a fifty-mile radius. Also by a clause of the will students were to be recruited as far as possible from the parliamentary borough. The first generation of professors, including the unworldly first principal, Alexander Scott, were acutely aware of the necessity of acknowledging the expectations and needs of those social groups without which the college would not survive, and the Science Faculty, in particular, spearheaded by Henry Roscoe, engaged in local consultancy work and shaped courses to local needs.2 More dramatically, for many years the college absorbed or co-operated with local institutions. In the early years the Lancashire Independent College sent its theological students to the Classics Department and evening work for elementary school teachers formed the basis, almost from the beginning, of the remarkable evening classes which gave access to higher education to Mancunians from many walks of life until the end of the century. In 1861 the Working Man's College merged after three years of 1 S.

  • Hand-List of the Jevons Archives in the John Rylands University Library of Manchester
    HAND-LIST OF THE JEVONS ARCHIVES IN THE JOHN RYLANDS UNIVERSITY LIBRARY OF MANCHESTER by PETER McNIVEN, M.A., Ph.D. SUB-LIBRARIAN, ARCHIVES, THE JOHN RYLANDS UNIVERSITY LIBRARY The Jevons archives in the John Rylands University Library of Manchester, which are recorded in the list which follows, originated from two main sources. The greater part of the collec- tion comprises material given to the Library by Mrs Rosamond Konekamp, daughter of William Stanley Jevons's son Herbert Stanley. A first instalment consisting of papers relating to Jevons's professional career was deposited in the Library in 1961, and a quantity of family and other personal material was added in 1971. An exhibition of selections from these papers was held in the University Library in the Autumn of 1971 in connection with a History of Economic Thought Conference which took place in September. These archives have been recognised, since the 1960s, as a rich source of original material relating to the life and work of William Stanley Jevons,' best known for his studies in Political Economy, though they also contain a substantial body of material on other members of his family. They were used extensively in the production of the standard edition of Jevons's papers by Professor R. D. Collison Black and Mrs Konekamp (Macmillan, London, 1972-8 1, in 7 volumes). The second, smaller group consisted of papers relating to William Stanley Jevons which were originally entrusted to Dr Wolfe Mays, of Manchester University's Department of Philosophy, by Professor Herbert Stanley Jevons. These were eventually donated to the Library in 1978.
