quently combined in any one man, and that the chances of obtaining 

 the Services of such a man in a more or less haphazard way, and at 

 a salary which would be rejected with scorn by many an artisan, 

 are not very great. 



Summarising the points on which I have briefly touched in this 

 address, I would appeal for — 



1. Greater s>'mpathy, freer intercourse, and closer co-operation 

 between the two great branches of the chemical profession — the 

 teachers and the practitioners. 



2. The estabhshment of Chairs of Analytical Chemistry in our 

 Universities and Colleges as a practica! step towards securing the 

 more adequate treatment of that important branch of our science. 



3. The more general provision in our Universities and Colleges 

 of post-graduate facilities for acquiring a good general knowledge 

 of certain subjects which form an indispensable part of the pro- 

 fessional equipment of every technical chemist.
