Abstract
WE regret to record the death of Prof. Henry John Spooner, former head of the School of Engineering at the Polytechnic, Regent Street, London, on December 16, at the age of eighty-four. Born on June 16, 1856, he received his training at the Royal School of Mines, and was first associated with the Polytechnic in 1882, when the first series of lectures on engineering subjects was given by him. He was appointed head of the School of Engineering on its formation in 1886, a post which he held until his retirement in 1922.
