 Managers at their Meeting held this day, was read and unanimously

Resolved, That the Managers of the Royal Institution desire to place on 

 record their sense of the great loss sustained by the Institution by the death 

 of Emile Ador. 



Dr. Ador studied Chemistry in Edinburgh and London in 1865-1866, and 

 the results of his important investigations on the Synthesis of the Ketones, 

 Benzoic Acid and Benzophenone, and kindred subjects, are embodied in 

 numerous communications to learned societies and scientific periodicals. In 

 1894 he contributed to the Archives des Sciences an important monograph on 

 the life and work of J. G. Galissard de Marignac. 



Dr. Ador was elected an Honorary Member of the Royal Institution on 

 the occasion of its Centenary in 1899. 



The Managers desire to convey to the family the expression of their deep 

 sympathy with them in their bereavement.

The President and Members of the Royal Institution of 

 Great Britain. 

 I have been informed of the Vote by which you have nominated me an 

 Honorary Member of the Royal Institution. Allow me to express my recogni- 

 tion of the great honour you have conferred upon me. 



My deep admiration for the Science of your country, and in particular for 

 English Physics, which continue so brilliantly a venerable tradition, the 

 glorious role which the Royal Institution has played in the development of 

 modern Science, make me appreciate, as it merits, the honour to be one of you. 

 In renewing my thanks, I pray you kindly accept my respectful and devoted 

 sentiments.
