Abstract
IN the address delivered by Principal Griffiths at York, which is printed in your issue of August 9, I read: “Prof. Armstrong remarks that it is unfair to cloak the inquiry by restricting it to thermodynamic reasoning, a favourite manœuvre with the mathematically minded. He adds that such a course may satisfy the physicist but ‘is repulsive to the chemist’. The inquiry, ‘Why is the application of thermodynamic reasoning repulsive to the chemist’? naturally suggests itself.”
