THE INDIAN SCIENCE CONGRESS DELHI MEETING

Abstract

THE thirty-fourth Indian Science Congress was held at Delhi between January 1 and January 8, and was attended by delegations from various countries. From Great Britain delegations were appointed by both the Royal Society and the British Association, and it is appropriate to recall that nine years ago the British Association had sent a large party to the twenty-fifth Congress, when it met in Calcutta. I had the privilege to be a member of that earlier party, and it was pleasant to renew acquaintance with Indian friends, and interesting to witness the progress in science made in the interval. The other delegations were from Canada, the United States, France, the U.S.S.R. and China, and we were all treated in a most generous manner by our hosts, who bore all the expenses of our stay in India, arranged for our tours to all parts, and looked after us most considerately the whole time.
