Date31 March 1919
DescriptionEmphasises the significant contributions of university and technical institution graduates to wartime scientific work. Recognising this work's true value is crucial for future scientific education and research policies. Suggests for the Council to allocate funds for a report documenting contributions from various experimental stations (Navy, Army, Air Force, Ministry of Munitions), highlighting the roles of different scientific disciplines. A concise, approximately 50-page report is proposed, which would also include future peacetime applications of wartime research.
