Because of the Centenary celebrations of the Chemical Society and the Eleventh International Congress of Pure and Applied Chemistry, several thousands of chemists were present in London in mid-July 1947. There were representatives from practically every country in the world. Both events would have taken place in 1941 but for the war. The Chemical Society was founded in 1841 and in 1938, at the Tenth International Congress of Pure and Applied Chemistry, it was agreed that the Eleventh Congress should take place in London, at the same time as the Centenary Celebrations of the Chemical Society. The Royal Society took a prominent part in the Chemical Society’s Celebrations. At the Opening Ceremony the President spoke on behalf of all Scientific Societies in the United Kingdom, and presented a congratulatory address from the Royal Society (see page 140). On the following day he delivered the Faraday Lecture of the Chemical Society. On 17 July the Society invited Fellows of the Chemical Society, and Members of the Eleventh International Congress of Pure and Applied Chemistry to a reception, held in Burlington House. Members of the International Physiological Congress being held at Oxford were also invited.
