A public meeting of the friends and pupils of the

late Professor De Morgan is to be held in the building of the University of Lon- don next Wednesday (10th May) at hall-past 4 o'clock (after the ceremony of conferring degrees is over), "To consider the best means of expressing in some permanent and tangible form their veneration for his character, their affection for his memory, and their sense of his rare ability as a teacher and of his eminent ser- vices to science." Our readers know how fully we have appreciated the rare character and intellect of the great mathematician and logician whom it is thus proposed to commemorate, and we cannot express too strongly our hope that the meeting and its resolutions will be worthy of the object for which it is called.
