Abstract
The President's Anniversary Address to the Royal Society is an occasion for the President to speak about matters of interest to the Society and to him personally. The Anniversary Meeting is also in some sense the Annual General Meeting of the Society when events and policies of the year are presented in the Council's Report to the Fellowship. The major activities of the Society are related in the Review of the Year. Almost all Presidential addresses have been on matters of current concern and my address last year was focused on the Dearing Report on Higher Education, and on the state of the Science Base, notably on the crisis in infrastructure in the Universities. I pointed out the urgency of an increase in funding, without which there would be further deterioration of the Science Base, with serious consequences for the future of the UK economy.
