I      August,  1904. 
meeting,  thus  enabling  each  hearer  to  attend  eight  such  meetings, 
if  he  so  desires.  The  programme  is  so  arranged  that  related  subjects 
will  be  treated,  as  far  as  possible,  at  different  times.  The  length  of 
the  principal  addresses  being  limited  to  forty-five  minutes  each,  there 
will  remain  at  least  one  hour  for  five  or  six  brief  communications  in 
each  section.  The  addresses  in  each  department  will  be  collected 
and  published  in  a  special  volume. 
It  is  hoped  that  the  living  influence  of  this  meeting  will  be  yet 
more  important  than  the  formal  addresses,  and  that  the  scholars 
whose  names  are  announced  in  the  following  programme  of  speakers 
and  chairmen  will  form  only  a  nucleus  for  the  gathering  of  thou- 
sands  who  feel  in  sympathy  with  the  efforts  to  bring  unity  into  the 
world  of  knowledge.
