It happened that certain heads of University Colleges in the United Kingdom made the journey to attend the meeting ; among them William Ramsay, then head of University College, Bristol. It was he who, during the journey, promulgated among those in similar positions the idea of holding informal meetings at regular periods, in order to ensure common action in such matters as pressing the claims of such institutions upon the Government.
