REPORT OF THE COUNCIL, 1935-36 xxxvii 



The proposed conditions of incorporation of the Guild into the 

 Association are as follows : — ■ 



1. That the Council of the British Association should be asked to 

 appoint a Committee to be called the British Science Guild Committee. 



2. That the British Science Guild Committee should consist of six 

 members, of whom not more than three should be nominated initially by 

 the British Science Guild, and three by the British Association. 



3. That the last act of the Guild before winding-up should be to 

 constitute the present members of its Council an Advisory Council to 

 nominate the three members of the British Science Guild Committee of 

 the British Association, representing the British Science Guild. 



4. That the British Science Guild Committee should be a Committee 

 of Council of the British Association, and should be entrusted with 

 arrangements for lectures already initiated by the British Science Guild, 

 and for any others of similar character which may be approved by the 

 Council. 



5. That the Norman Lockyer Lecture should be delivered annually, 

 and should deal with the application of scientific method and results to 

 social problems and public affairs. 



6. That the Alexander Pedler Lecture should be offered annually to 

 one of the Corresponding Societies of the British Association, or be 

 delivered in some centre outside London. 



7. That Life Fellows of the British Science Guild be offered Life 

 Membership of the British Association without further payment, and that 

 Life Members of the Guild should be invited to become Life Members 

 of the Association on payment of the difference between the subscription 

 to the Guild and to the Association. 



(Note. — There were as at January 7, 1936, 62 life fellows of the Guild 

 of whom 5 were honorary, and of whose addresses 6 were unknown. 

 Eleven of these were life members of the Association and 7 were or had 

 recently been annual members. There were 273 life members of the 

 Guild, of whose addresses 60 were unknown ; of these 45 were life 

 members of the Association, and 23 were or had recently been annual 

 members.) 



8. That annual subscribers of the Guild should be invited to become 

 annual subscribers of the Association. 



(Note.— The annual subscribers of the Guild as at June 25, 1935, 

 numbered 242.) 



Financial note. — The market value of the capital funds of the Guild as 

 at January 3, 1936, is £4,355. It is understood that inquiry is in progress 

 as to any liability which, in the event of the proposed incorporation being 

 effected, would or might fall upon these funds in respect of life members 

 not desiring transfer, the Guild staff, etc. The Norman Lockyer and 

 Alexander Pedler lectures carry fees (ten guineas each) and involve 

 certain incidental expenditure. For the two lectures together, including 

 fees but excluding the printing of the lectures and postage, the total 

 expenditure in 1935 was £36. 



It is further understood that if the incorporation is carried out, Lady 

 Lockyer intends to bequeath the sum of £1,000 to the Association. Sir
