On the continent I have known investigators of this type, not connected with a university, and receiving no aid or encouragement from neighboring university men, who could not be recog- nized by election to the academies because of their limited membership or their fixed traditions. In England many such men have been received into the Royal Society, which has been glad to publish their papers as Fellows and to aid them in other ways. 35 Fifteen new members are elected annually, making a total m...embership of 477 (Jan. 1, 1913). 41 A notable illustration is afforded by the case of Newton, elected a Fellow of the Eoyal Society on January 11, 1671, and subsequently its president for the long period of twenty-four years. A month following his election, Newton communi- cated to the Society his discovery of the composite nature of white light, which, when published in the Philosophical Trans- actions, was the first of his productions to appear in print. In expressing his thanks to the Society, Newton remarked: 36 It was an esteem of the Royal Society for most candid and able judges in philosophical matters, that encouraged me to present them with that dis- course of light and colors, which since they have so favorably accepted of, I do earnestly desire you to return them my most cordial thanks.
