THE committee of management deeply regret the loss of two of their col- leagues, The Rev. the Earl of Devon and Commander Sir Harry Mainwaring, Bt., R.N.V.R.

The Earl of Devon, who died suddenly on 8th February, at the age of sixty- two, had been a vice-president of the Institution since 1930. When he suc- ceeded his brother in the title in 1927 he also succeeded him as president of the Exeter branch of the Institution and during the past eight years he took an active and generous part in its work.

Commander Sir Harry Mainwaring died suddenly on 29th December, at the age of fifty-six. He served in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve from 1913 to 1920, and became a member of the committee of management in 1915, so that he had served on it for nearly twenty years. At the memorial ser- vice held in London the Institution was represented by Sir Godfrey Baring, Bt., its chairman.
