Presenting the award last week, M. Nihotte said that Professor Cotton had brought world-wide renown to New Zealand, as had Lord Rutherford to the reaim of physics Sir Peter Bock as an anthropologist, and Katherine Mansfield as a writer.

Dr. Cotton, M. Nihotte said, had acquired universal acclaim in the domain of geomorphology—the science of land forms—mainly through his published works, which were regarded throughout the world as classics. He had also particularly distinguished himself in the study of tec-tonio relief and in the study of scarps and valleys in relation to faults.

The Victoria College Council recently decided to establish a Cotton Memorial Prise for the most competent student of Geology I.
