Scientific paper
To the report of a lecture recently delivered in Oxford (NATURE, vol. lxix. p. 207) Prof. Perry appends a footnote in which he states that if he were to endow a professorship in some definite branch of science at Oxford, the authorities would appoint a man who never had done, and who never could be expected to do, any research work, and whose highest ambition would be to act zealously as the bursar of his college! As some of the readers of this report might regard this statement as being literally true, it is as well it should be contradicted. Of the fourteen full science professors at Oxford, only one is, or ever has been, a college bursar. In fact, nearly all the professors are eminent men, who by their research work have contributed in no small measure to the advancement of science. All are fellows of the Royal Society, and nearly all have served on its council.
