BY the death of ME. H. ARTHUR BAKER, on 11th December, 1946, the Committee of Management have lost a colleague whose devoted services they feel that they can ill spare. He became a member in 1925, and was appointed a vice-president in 1943.

He served on the Finance Committee, the General Purposes and Publicity Committee, and the Establishment Committee. As chairman of the Establishment Committee in particular, he gave himself without stint to the often complicated and difficult details of the work, and for all that he did on this committee not only his colleagues but the officers and staff of the Institution will gratefully remember him.
