3. Considered the future staffing of the Laboratory, and it was agreed that ' the Laboratory should have a Director (of the status of a Reader), and Assistant Director of Research, and several research assistants: it was felt that the University was the proper body to finance these posts, but the hope was expressed that the Royal Society would continue to pay one research assistant.
