1933] Proceedings of the Academy op Science 3 



The evenino: meetino: was called to order by the secretary, who 

 introduced President Chase of the University who welcomed the 

 Academy and spoke a few well-chosen words as to the relation of 

 science to daily life. President Lake of the Academy responded and 

 then delivered the Presidential Address on "The Search for the 

 TTltimate Atom." This was a timely review of the various discoveries 

 which have led to our modern ideas of matter. The Academy then 

 called for the paper by Mr. C. S. Brimley — "Twenty Years of the 

 North Carolina Academy of Science." This paper was highly ap-
