We, the President and Council of the British Association for the 

 Advancement of Science, offer our cordial congratulations to the Univer- 

 sity of Glasgow on the occasion of the celebration of the four hundred 

 and fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the University. 



The British Association has since its birth in 1831 been brought from 

 time to time into close relations with the University of Glasgow. It has 

 on three occasions held highly successful meetings within your City, and 

 is looking forward with pleasurable anticipation to a fourth meeting in 

 the autumn of the present year. The success of these gatherings has 

 been largely due to the earnest co-operation of the able men of science 

 who have filled and adorned the Chairs in the Uni^'ersity, three of whom 

 at meetings in other Cities have occupied the Presidential Chair of the 

 Association itself. 



In presenting our congratulations we would at the same time express 

 the hope that the University may continue to prosper and to extend in 

 influence and usefulness. The efforts which you are making to add to 

 the Prof essoriate, to obtain new buildings and appliances for the continued 

 development of your teaching and for the encouragement of research, 

 show that you mean to retain a foremost place amidst the Universities of 

 the United Kingdom. 



Signed on behalf of the Council, 



William Turner, President.
