Abstract
BIRMINGHAM.—At the annual meeting of the Court of Governors, of the University, held on February 27, the Principal, Sir Oliver Lodge, announced his intention of resigning, his post at the end of the present session, He said that, having passed the age-limit of the professorial staff, he wished to make way for a younger and more ambitious man, who would begin his duties with the period of reconstruction. He himself intended to devote the remainder of his life to the study of the æther of space in both its physical and psychical aspects. In seconding a resolution of deep regret, proposed by the Vice-Chancellor, Sir Richard Threlfall spoke in warmly appreciative terms of Sir Oliver Lodge's scientific work, especially in electrolysis, in the electrical deposition of smoke, and in wireless telegraphy, which had been of very great benefit to industry and to the world at large.
