Abstract
THE annual meeting of the Iron and Steel Institute was held on Wednesday and Thursday, May 9 and 10, in the hall of the Institution of Civil Engineers, under the presidency of Sir William Roberts-Austen, K.C.B., F.R.S. The attendance of members was larger than at any previous gathering. The report of the council, which was read by the secretary, Mr. Bennett H. Brough, showed that the Institute is in a flourishing condition. The receipts last year were greater than in any previous year, 110 new members were added to the roll, the supply of original papers was well maintained, and a Royal Charter of Incorporation had been granted. After the usual formal business, the president presented the Bessemer gold medal for 1900 to Mr. Henri de Wendel, the eminent French metallurgist, in recognition of his great services to metallurgy in developing the iron-ore resources of French and German Lorraine. Mr. de Wendel having expressed his appreciation of the honour conferred upon him, Mr. Stead announced that he had decided to postpone the reading of his paper until the autumn meeting in Paris.
