FROM THE 

 COUNCIL AND SENATE 



OP 

 UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, BRISTOL, 



TO 



THE LINNEAN SOCIETY OF LONDON 



ON THE OCCASION OP 



THE DARWIN- WALL ACE CELEBRATION, 

 July 1st, 1908. 



THE Council and Senate of UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, BRISTOL, 

 beg to offer to the Linnean Society their sincere con- 

 gratulations on the Fiftieth Anniversary of the presentation 

 of the paper on Natural Selection by Charles Darwin 

 and Alfred Russel Wallace. They desire also to assure 

 Dr. Wallace of their deep sense of the value of his splendid 

 work in the cause of Science. 



The communication of the joint paper with its attendant 

 circumstances and consequent results marks an epoch in 

 the history of thought and is in many ways a matter 

 of far-reaching human interest. The Darwin-Wallace 

 Celebration commemorates not only a great intellectual 

 achievement, but also one of the best examples of modesty 

 and magnanimity of men of true genius. 



For upwards of a century the Linnean Society has 

 exercised a wide and beneficent influence on the Advance- 

 ment of Science. The Council and Senate confidently 

 anticipate that the Society will long continue to carry on 

 its work with distinction and success.
