124 SECTIONAL ADDRESSES. 
The extent to which our various heat-engine laboratories have been 
able of recent years to assist in the development of the internal com- 
bustion engine, and to which our experimental tanks have assisted in 
the development of the shipbuilding industry, is well known to most 
of us, and the provision of similar facilities to assist in the development 
of our hydro-electric industry would probably have equally good results 
in this connection. 
As a result of representations made by the Water Power Committee 
of the Board of Trade, I understand that it has now been decided to 
initiate a Chair of Hydro-Electric Engineering in some one university, 
and it is greatly to be hoped that funds may be available to enable the 
necessary laboratory to be designed and equipped on a scale com- 
mensurate with the importance of the work which it would be required 
to undertake. 
| Norz.—Owing to the resignation of Sir J. C. Frazer, F.R.S., 
from the presidency of Section H (Anthropology) shortly before the 
Meeting, no address was delivered in that Section. ]
