- Title
100 and 50 years ago.
- Abstract
This article presents news briefs related to nature several years ago. 100 years ago, the President of the French Republic conducted a dinner party, at which 120 guests were present. The guests included distinguished authors, artists, musicians, and other representatives of intellectual activity, almost exclusively members of the Institute of France. Satisfactory progress and general prosperity form the key-note of the report of the Zoological Gardens at Giza for the past year. The report is illustrated by the reproduction of a most interesting photograph of an aardvark, or ant-bear, slightly marred by the effect of a shadow by the side of the nose. Mathematical Association's Annual Meeting was held 50 years ago at the Department of Education, University of Birmingham. The first item in the afternoon session was a discussion of "The Disadvantages of a Mathematical Education", led by W.O. Storer.
