ABSTRACT THE Kelvin Medal, which was founded to commemorate the work of Lord Kelvin, is awarded triennially by a committee in London consisting of the presidents of eight of the leading

engineering institutions of Great Britain, after consideration of recommendations received from similar bodies in all parts of the world. Sir J. J. Thomson was selected as the recipient of

the award for 1938 (see NATURE, May 7, p. 825) and the presentation was made on May 3 in the Great Hall of the Institution of Civil Engineers by Lord Rayleigh on behalf of the Kelvin Medal

Award Committee. Lord Rayleigh's address is printed below. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS
