Sir Norman Lcckyer, on being installed President of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, in the coarse of his address df-clared that £24,000,000 was rr quired to*plflc« British University educaion on a par with that in tb» United Stites and Germany, £8,000,000 beine r-quirad for construction and £16,000,000 for endowment and iquipment. Pstgrodoate research was as essential as battleships to the Constitution; a Scientific National Council was hs essential for industrial commercial progress as national defence for national safety.
Mr A, J. Balfour will be the next President. The S*nth African States contribute £•000 towards holding the 1905 meeting in S uth Africa. The Times says Sir Norman Lockyer overstated an excellent case. No Government could submit a scheme of inch proportions, but Sir Norman Lockyer's protest against existing conditions will initiate an important movement for the increase of national scientific training.
The standard characterised the pro posal as clap-trap.
