Annual Report of the Council. H 



the degree of D.Sc. was conferred on him by the Victoria 

 University. Of late years the infirmities of age had prevented 

 his taking an active part in the affairs of the Society, though his 

 old-fashioned courtesy, or rather courtliness of manner, and the 

 invariable kindness which he extended to all the members, will 

 not soon be forgotten. Even more enduring will be his sub- 

 stantial bequests to Owens College, and the obligations under 

 which he has placed the science of organic chemistry. 



Dr. Schunck was married in 185 1 to Miss Judith Brooke, of 

 Stockport, and had a family of five sons and two daughters, of 

 whom three sons and one daughter, together with Mrs. Schunck, 

 survive. He died at Kersal on January 13, 1903.
