Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom: Report of the Council for 1978–79

The Council wishes to record its gratitude to the Hon. Hugh Waldorf Astor for his service to the Association as Honorary Treasurer for the past ten years. He was succeeded by Mr B. M. Till, a representative Governor of the Fishmongers' Company. At the Annual General Meeting held on 21 June 1978 the following were elected new members of Council for the period 1978-81: Sir John A. B. Gray, Sir Peter Kent, Dr A. D. Mclntyre, Prof. D. Nichols and Prof. C. G. Phillips. The Council also warmly thanks Prof. P. F. Baker, Dr D. H. Cushing, Prof. F. G. T. Holliday and Sir Frederick Warner who retired after three years' service on the Council as elected members, and Prof. O. E. Lowenstein who kindly agreed to serve for two years following the election of Prof. J. Z. Young to the Presidency. The Council records with pleasure the appointment of Sir Alan Hodgkin as Master of Trinity College, Cambridge. Its members were delighted that Sir Frederick Russell agreed that the replacement for R.V.' Sarsia' should be named after him. The Council is also pleased to report that the Director served as President of the Zoological Section of the British Association for the year 1978 and that he was honoured by an honorary degree by the University of Goteborg. Four meetings of the Council were held during the year: three in the rooms of the Royal Society and one in Plymouth. The average attendance at the meetings was 13, being less than usual because many members were unable to attend the meeting in January 1979 because of a rail strike.
