In presenting Mr.. Weston for his de-

More than any other living man he
deserves honor for having made pos
sible the precise measurement OF
fundamental electrical quantities by
his inventing and perfecting accurate,
durable and transportable instruments,
so that there now seems nothing lett
to be done in that direction. This he
did by a thorough study of the scien-
tifc questions underlying the n
%struction of these instruments when
are now the standards for the scien-
tifc world. Hampered in early life by
many difficulties, and deprived OF the
helm Of university training. he has,
nevertheless trained himself so that,
by his sheer energy, high intelligence,
and t~ireless patience. he has placed the
whole scientific world in lasting In
debtedness to him"
