MEETINGS OF BRTISH AND AMERICAN 

 CHEMISTS 



Joint meetings will be held this autumn 

 by chemists of Great Britain, Canada and the 

 United States. Members of the Society of 

 Chemical Industry of Great Britain will join 

 with the Canadian branch of their organization 

 in sessions in Montreal late in August. The 

 scientific and business sessions will center at 

 McGill University, where there will be a spe- 

 cial convocation. The Canadian and British 

 chemists will inspect numerous plants and 

 will proceed to Ottawa and Toronto, where 

 they will be entertained by the local sections. 

 On September 5 they will reach ISTiagara Falls, 

 where they will view the vast establishments 

 which modern physics and chemistry have 

 created. 



The members will then cross the border, 

 being met by a committee of the American 

 section of their society and conducted through 

 the industrial plants on this side of the Falls. 

 Dinner will be served at Buffalo, and on their 

 arrival at Syracuse, they will have luncheon 

 with the Solvay Process Company. The chem- 

 ists will then go to Albany and New York 

 City, where they will be welcomed by the 

 American Section of the Society of Chemical 

 Industry. 



Elaborate arrangements for the reception of 

 the chemists will be carried out, through the 

 coordinating committee, of which Dr. B. C. 

 Hesse is chairman and Dr. Allen Eogers is 

 secretary. The festivities, meetings and enter- 

 tainments which will follow are designed to 

 bring into closer bonds all chemists of Anglo- 

 Saxon stock. 



The fall meeting of the American Chemical 

 Society, with its 15,500 members, is to be 

 held in New York City from September 6 to 

 10, inclusive. The first contact will be at a 

 lawn party, to be given on the afternoon of 

 September 7 to foreign guests and to scientific 

 societies at Columbia University. Other so- 

 cieties asked to participate in the welcoming 

 of the visitors from abroad are : The American 

 Electrochemical Society; the American Insti- 

 tute of Chemical Engineers; the American 

 Section of the Societe de Chimie industrielle ;
