CELEBRATION ADDRESSES 77 



UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN 



To THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF LONDON. THE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN sends 

 to the Royal Society of London its congratulations on the two hundred and 

 fiftieth Anniversary of its foundation, a memorable event in the history of the 

 oldest and most noted scientific society of the English-speaking people. Its 

 long roll of members contains the names of many men who have initiated 

 great movements in science, and includes others less distinguished by whose 

 wisdom and labour science has become enriched. By the lives and work of 

 these men the Royal Society has contributed in large measure to the great 

 intellectual heritage of England, and through that nation to the enlightenment 

 and freedom of the human race. The University of Wisconsin, while gratefully 

 recognizing with all the world of learning this unique service, has the con- 

 fident belief that the Royal Society during the centuries to come will continue 

 its illustrious history.
