Colloidal Electrolytes

Abstract

THE general discussion on colloidal electrolytes, organised by the Colloid Committee of the Faraday Society, took place at University College, London, on September 27-29. The meeting was well attended and a number of eminent foreign chemists were present as guests. This was the first general discussion organised by the Society that has ever been held at a London college. University College may for two special reasons be regarded as a happy choice of meeting place since in the first place Prof. F. G. Donnan (in the absence of the president of the Society) was chairman, and in the second place Thomas Graham carried out much of his pioneer work there. A more mundane reason for congratulating the Society on its arrangements was the success which attended them. The close proximity of lecture room, rest room and an excellent refectory reduced ‘physical fatigue to a minimum and allowed the protagonists to expend all their energy in coping with intellectual problems.
