The Organisation of Scientific Work in India

Abstract

As NATURE waited for more than a year to criticise the Indian Industrial Commission's Report which was published in October, 1918, it will probably tolerate this additional delay of a few weeks (due to my absence in India) in attempting, on behalf of my colleagues, to demonstrate that the impressions conveyed by the leading article in the issue of February 19, and by the letters which followed in three later issues, bear little resemblance to the Commission's proposals for “the organisation of scientific work in India.”
