IN MEMORIAM — JOHN WESLEY JUDD 
329 
The fact that for a long period geology was placed on the curriculum 
of every associate student in the Normal College of Science, as well as 
in the Royal School of Mines, brought some sixty men imder Judd's 
influence in every yea^^. The Geological Surveys and universities of 
the English-speaking world in consequence bear testimony to much 
that was gained from his personality, in addition to the discipline 
acquired from following his ordered modes o^ work. 
In 1888, Judd contributed to the Proceedings of the Yorkshire 
Geological Society (vol. IX., p. 474) a paper on " The Relation betw^een 
the Central Societies and the Local Ones " — an important subject 
that has been again raised by one of his pupils. Sir Thomas Holland, 
in an address in recent years. 
After his retirement from the duties of Professor and Dean at the 
Royal College of Science at South Kensington in 1905, Judd remained 
in constant touch "with the progress of science and with his numerous 
geological friends. Increasing deafness prevented him from attending 
meetings during his later years, but he published a very characteristic 
work, The Coming of Evolution," in 1909, as the first of the Cambridge 
Manuals of Science and Literature. In this he recorded, as a contem- 
porary and a fellow-worker, one of the greatest episodes in scientific 
progress. The pupil of Lyell and Darwin, the colleague of Huxley, 
and the organiser of systematic instruction in the subject that he loved, 
has lefc no finer testament than this volume, written in the ripe- 
ness of his later years.
