Abstract
A UNIQUE ceremony took place in the Cabinet Room at 10 Downing Street on June 12, when the President of the Royal Society, Sir Henry Dale, admitted the Prime Minister into the fellowship of the Society. Among those present were the Society's biological secretary, Prof. A. V. Hill, M.P., the physical secretary, Prof. A. C. G. Egerton, the foreign secretary, Sir Henry Tizard, and the assistant secretary, Mr. John D. Griffith Davies. After the Prime Minister had signed his name in the ancient Charter Book, Sir Henry Dale showed him the signature of his ancestor, Sir Winston Churchill, father of the great Duke of Marlborough, who was one of the early fellows of the Society, having been admitted into the fellowship in 1664.
