REPORT OF THE COUNCIL, 1921-22 XIX 



The Council received with great regret Prof. H. H. Turner's intima- 

 tion that he would not be able to attend a Meeting in Canada in 1924. 

 Prof. Turner himself pointed out that it was desirable, on various 

 grounds, that his successor should have experience of the working of 

 an Annual Meeting at home before taking part in one overseas, and 

 he therefore placed his office at the disposal of the General Committee 

 as from the Hull Meeting. The Council are fortunate in securing the 

 consent of Mr. F. E. Smith, Director of Scientific Research at the 

 Admiralty, to nomination as Prof. Turner's successor. The Council and 

 the Association owe a deep debt of gratitude to Prof. Turner for his 

 unremitting care for the interests of the Association as General Secretary 

 since 1913, and therefore during a time of exceptional difficulty, includ- 

 ing as it has the Australian Meeting, the War, the revival of the annual 

 meetings since the War, and the period when on the death of the late 

 General Treasurer and Assistant Treasurer in 1920 he acted for some 

 months as Treasurer in addition to his other work. 



X. Dr. E. H. Griffiths and Prof. J. L. Myres have continued to 

 act as representatives of the Association on the Conjoint Board of 

 Scientific Societies.

BRITISH ASSOCIATION EXHIBITIONS. 



The British Association Exhibitions, referred to in § VI. of the above 

 report, were awarded to eighteen students nominated by the same 

 number of universities and colleges, whose travelling expenses (railway 

 fares) were met by the Association, which also issued complimentary 

 students' tickets of membership to them ; they were entertained in Hull
