The appointment of Sir Ernest Kullierford to the Cavendish Professorship of Experimental Physics, through the .resignation of the- Master of Trinity, appears to have given general satisfaction, though the vacancy was one which it was obviously difficult to fill. Sir Ernest Rutherford, who was knighted in 19'U, has done work of great distinction, particularly in radio-activity. Ho was born in New Zealand in 1871, and was educated in the colony. After graduating there he enme to Cambridge for a while, and in 1898 becanio Professor at M'Gill University, Montreal, and in JOO7 aI. Manchester University. Ho tints adds one more to the now numerous list of Professors whoso past belongs more to the world at large than to Cambridge itself. Me obtained the Nobel Prize in 191 W. It should be added that Sir J. J. Thompson, when he resigned the Professorship, consented to retain the superiiitjenduncc of the laboratory.—"Tho Guardian,"
