"International conference is like 

 a germination test with sprouted seed. 

 The seed sprouted in 1906 and in 

 1910 and then began to dry up. Had 

 it not been for the energy and 

 initiative of Professor Johannsen, 

 Mr. Dorph -Petersen and Sir. 

 Lawrence Weaver it would never 

 have come to live again. Hearty 

 thanks must be expressed to these 

 three by a 3 fold Hurrah!" 



Professor Dr. A Voigt:

 Sir Lawrence Weaver wished to claim a father's privilege of speaking 

 to his children and could not leave the room without thanking Professor 

 Johannsen and Mr. Dorph-Petersen. Professor Johannsen combined 

 the charm of a patriotic Dane with that of a citizen of the world and 

 his sweetness of temper is apparent in both roles. Would return to 

 England and try to emulate Johannsen's skill and tact and Dorph- 

 Petersen's energy and modesty. ' Expressed his thanks to the staff of
