FIFTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT 



OF THE 



LIVERPOOL MICROSCOPICAL SOCIETY. 



I 



January, 1921. 



T is with gratification your Council submits their report 

 for the past year, and in again placing on record the 

 continued prosperity of the Society. 



The membership continues in a growing condition, and 

 while the increase in the roll has not been large, yet the 

 enthusiasm of the members in regard to microscopical 

 research remains unabated. It is the constant ideal of your 

 Council to encourage vitality and original work, rather than 

 aim at mere popularity and large attendances. 



It is with special regret that the death of Mr. W. H. 

 Read has to be reported. In addition to being one of the 

 Society's oldest members, he rendered over a long period 

 of years most valuable help, both at the Council meetings 

 and the members' meeting. A man of marked originality 

 and thoroughly unconventional, he was a diligent student of 

 nature, a clever draughtsman and expert demonstrator, and 

 a genial friend. His absence is much deplored. 



A promising member in the person of Mr. W. R. 

 Broadbridge has to be added to the obituary.
