Abstract
PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS DELIVERED IN LONDON ON SEPT. 23, 1931 THIS centenary meeting of the British Association is a milestone which enables us to look back upon a hundred years of scientific progress such as has no parallel in history. It brings us to a point in the advance from which we can confidently look forward to fundamental solutions and discoveries in the near future which may transform the entire field of science. In this second and greater renaissance of the human spirit, this Association and its members have borne a foremost part, to which it would be impossible for me to do justice. I shall therefore not attempt to review the achievements of this century of science, but shall content myself with the simpler undertaking of giving a generalised composite impression of the present situation in science.
