THE BANGOR LABORATORIES. 493 



London, under the admirable organisation and 

 work of Professor Adams and Professor Carey 

 Foster ; the Cavendish laboratory at Cambridge, 

 originated by Clerk Maxwell, and admirably 

 systematised and perfected by Lord Rayleigh, 

 have rendered splendid services to physical science 

 all over the world. Much has been done even to 

 provide suitable text-books for use in the system- 

 atic practical training of students in laboratory 

 work : for example, the Treatise on Physical 

 Measurement by Kohlrausch, which has been for 

 several years a most serviceable manual, and the 

 lately published Practical Physics of Glazebrook 

 and Shaw. The physical laboratory system has 

 now become quite universal. No university in the 

 world can now live unless it has a well-equipped 

 laboratory. I hope you will all do your best to 

 make the physical and chemical laboratories of 

 this College a great success ; that you will follow 

 example in everything exemplary until the Bangor 

 laboratories become a model to be followed in 

 future laboratories in Wales, England, or any 

 pther part of the world, I was not quite accurate
