BRITISH ASSOCIATION EXHIBITIONS. 
For the Southampton Meeting, British Association Exhibitions 
(referred to in § IX. of the Report of the Council, 1922-23) were awarded 
to seventeen students nominated by. the same number of universities and 
colleges. Their travelling expenses (railway fares) were met by the 
Association, which also issued complimentary students’ tickets of mem- 
bership to them; they were entertained in Southampton by the Local 
Executive Committee. Hight of the universities or colleges allowed 
expenses for twenty-seven additional exhibitioners, while five selected 
students from Liverpool received grants for the same purpose out of a 
fund formed from the surplus of the moneys collected for the local fund 
in connection with the Liverpool Meeting, 1923. The exhibitioners were 
enabled to meet the President and General Officers. One of their num- 
ber (Mr. K. K. Law, University College, Nottingham) was elected 
secretary for the purpose of communication by the exhibitioners as a 
body with the general officers.
