THE OWEN S COLLEGE

Manchester, 21 noveniber 1901.

To Monsieur Berthelot, Senator, perpétuai Secretary of the Academy of Sciences,

Prof essor at the College de Fiance.

Sir,

We the undersigned Members of the Department of Chemistry in the Owen’s College, desire to offer to you our sincere and respectful congratulations on your completion of fifty years of ininterrupted scientific labour.

Our College also célébrâtes this year its Jubilee. It was founded in 1 85 1 with Edward Frankland as its first Professor of Chemistry. Since that time under Boscoe and Cari Schorlemmer, and under those who hâve succeded them, the worker in this College hâve not ceased to find inspiration in the great experimental discoveries and in the original conceptions which you hâve given to Science during half a century. Tour work on the explosion-wave, your classical experiments in the union of carbone and hydrogéné, your general work on Thermochemistry (a science in great measure created by you) hâve served as the starting point of many investigations in our laboratories. A part from our personnal debt of gratitude to you, we desire in common with the Chemists of the world to render hommage to one who, by is genius, and an activity unparalled in scientific history, bas at one simplified and widened our views of the whole Science.
