REPORT OF THE BRITISH SCIENCE GUILD 221 



thus increasing the number of scientific representatives 

 from none to three. 1 Some adjustments in favour of 

 scientific study and research may therefore be expected ; 

 but the Guild is of the opinion that the Trustees should 

 consist chiefly of representatives of the scientific and 

 other interests involved in proper proportions to ensure 

 that the original intentions of the founder of the Trust 

 are carried out justly. 



With regard to the commercial interests, it seems 

 probable that their representatives have been thoroughly 

 awakened by the war to the necessity for better education. 

 It is desirable, however, that these interests should not 

 be satisfied at the expense of, but in addition to, those 

 of science ; and for this reason the British Science Guild, 

 believing that Mr Carnegie's intentions admit of no 

 dispute, desires to support Professor Soddy's claims that 

 future allocation of the Trust Funds should be made 

 more liberally, specifically, and inalienably for purposes 

 of scientific study and research than has- been the 

 practice hitherto.
