DEATH OF BISHOP Royal Society Expresses Sympathy "At a special meeting of the standing committee of the Royal Society of New Zealand held on Monday, the president referred to the death of the vice-president, the Rt. Reverend Herbert W.'Williams M.A., Litt.D., F.R.S. N.Z., a past president, and for many years a distinguished Fellow of the Society, and then moved the following resolution: — "The Royal Society of New Zealand places on record its profound regret at the death of the RdRev. Bishop Williams. His wide and aceurate knowledge — so willingly placed at the disposal of others — his quick grasp of fundamental principles, his fearless criticism of wrong, his unfalling courtesy and happy disposition, made him a leader of men, and gained for him not only the respect but also the genuine affection of all those who were privileged to know him. "By his death the Royal Society of New Zealand has lost one of its staunchest friends, and its members throughout the Domiition, respectfully assure his widow and family of their heartfelt sympathy."
