Mr J. E. Lovelock has been elected president of the Oxford University Athletic Club.

Mr R. L. Kennedy (Wellington) has received a license to practise from the Royal College of Physicians. He has been studying at St. Marv's Hospital, Paddmgton.

Mr 1-1. G. C Merritt will leave for Auckland in July, and subsequently he will rejoin the First Battalion Eleventh Sikh Regiment at Peshawar.

Lord Rutherford of Nelson is president of the Academic Assistance Council, which has been formed primarily to provide temporary assistance to dismissed German men of science and scholars generally. The council proposed to provide for them on a purely temporary basis by special grants which will not interfere with the prospects of British workers in similar fields. The headquarters of the council are at Burlington House. "The Times" remarks: "The trend of events in Germany is likely to make the work of the council progressively more necessary. Numbers of able and distinguished scholars continue to be discharged or to have their lives rendered intolerable in the German universities."
