CreatorGeikie; Sir Archibald (1835-1924); British geologist and historian
RecipientLarmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist
Date30 July 1908
DescriptionGeikie was vexed that Larmor had not been invited tot he meeting presenting gifts to [George] Kennedy. [David] Ferrier and [Arthur] Gamgee started the event and notices were sent out by them. They considered a smaller company would be better for the Kennedys [the Royal Society's long-term employees] and therefore only the five original appeal signatories were notified. Geikie considers that Larmor should have been 'in front of the whole business' and offers his apologies.
