Mathematics and Physics Society

Though this Club, as in the other two Scientific Societies, deals with subjects containing relatively little general interest, a large attendance is always the rule, and the average number present will probably be over thirty. After a lapse of two wears, the Society was set going again in 1943, and since then has continually sought to present evenings which will be of general interest, rather than insist on development of exacting technical and mathematical theories.

This year, the annual general meeting was held at the end of March, when the following officers were elected:—

President: J. E. Drummond, M. Sc.

Vice-presidents: G. S. Bogle, B.Sc.; J. M. Ziman.

Committee: E. A. Cottingham, R. A. Garrick, F. D. Manchester.

Secretary: E. O. Hall.

At a committee meeting held soon after this, a varied programme was arranged, and it is hoped by the end of the year to have presented at least seven lectures and visits. Already, at the time of writing, two lectures, by Dr. J. T. Campbell and Mr.

Jones, of the Seismology Department, have been presented, and a visit to the Meteorological Offices proved exceedingly interesting. It is hoped to visit Radio Corporation and that Mr. Suckling will be able to lecture on Atomic Physics.

Last year, a Fresher's evening was instituted, at which three freshers spoke on subjects in which they were particularly interested. A similar evening, and another at which Honours students will speak on the work covered by their theses, will bring to a conclusion a most successful year.

E. O. Hall, Hon. Secretary.
