122 THE ROYAL SOCIETY 



ROYAL DUBLIN SOCIETY 



THE ROYAL DUBLIN SOCIETY TO THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF LONDON Greeting. 

 The President and Council of the ROYAL DUBLIN SOCIETY heartily join in 

 congratulating the Royal Society of London on the attainment of the two 

 hundred and fiftieth Anniversary of its foundation. Great has been the 

 progress of science since the Society under Royal auspices undertook the task 

 of improving natural knowledge, and the Fellows may well look with pride 

 upon the conspicuous part they have taken in winning from Nature her well- 

 guarded secrets. We earnestly hope that the Royal Society may continue its 

 beneficent labours with increasing success, ever widening the bounds of know- 

 ledge and extending man's control over Nature. 



Given under our Common Seal at Leinster House* Dublin, this first day of 

 August, 1912. 



HOWARD GRUBB, Vice-President. 



QUEEN'S UNIVERSITY OF BELFAST 



To THE PRESIDENT AND FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF LONDON. WE, 

 THE CHANCELLOR AND MEMBERS OF THE QUEEN'S UNIVERSITY OF BELFAST, desire 

 to convey our congratulations on the occasion of this your Fifth Jubilee, and, 

 with our elders in learning, to acknowledge the blessings which your example 

 and generous endeavour have bestowed upon the commonwealth of Science. 

 The Virtuosi of Gresham College planned with confidence in their purpose and 

 in their successors. Within five years the poet's compliment that your Society 

 was ' worthy a history ' found proof in the memorable record of your first 

 efforts 'to increase the Powers of all Mankind'. At this remove it is our 

 privilege to do honour to a great tradition, and to see in that tradition less 

 the pride of accomplishment than the continuing promise of ' ransom to the 

 mind of man '. 



Signed in name of the University, on the fifteenth day of July , one thousand 

 nine hundred and twelve. 



SHAFTESBURY, Chancellor.
