GREETINGS FROM SCIENTIFIC SOCIETIES 

 OF THE UNITED STATES 



To you, Mr. Chairman, to General Smuts, and to all those who have 

 gathered in London today to commemorate the centenary of Michael 

 Faraday's great discoveries in the opening of the Faraday Exhibition, 

 I bring the greetings of the scientific societies and the men and women 

 of science of the United States. In particular, I have been asked to 

 convey to you the felicitations of the following societies which were 

 invited to participate in the functions you have organized to evidence 

 the world-wide appreciation of the debt we owe to a great man : 



The National Academy of Sciences 



The American Philosophical Society 



The American Association for the Advancement of Science 



The American Academy of Arts and Sciences of Boston 



The New York Academy of Sciences 



The American Mathematical Society 



The American Physical Society 



The American Chemical Society 



The Franklin Institute 



The American Institute of Electrical Engineers 



The American Society of Civil Engineers 



The American Society of Mechanical Engineers 



The American Engineering Council 



The Institute of Radio Engineers 



The American Electrochemical Society 



The United States Electrotechnical Committee 



The Illuminating Engineering Society 



The National Electric Light Association 



The Association of Edison Illuminating Companies 



The National Electrical Manufacturers Association 



The American National Committee of the World Power 



Conference 

 The Association of Consulting Chemists and Chemical Engineers 



Most, if not all, of these institutions are represented in London by 

 their delegates. Neither they nor I can, however, express adequately 

 the esteem in which Faraday and his achievements are held by tens of 

 thousands of men who count themselves as his disciples.
