Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annals of the Philosophical Club of the Royal Society: Written From Its Minute Books The story of the Royal Society Club has been recently told by a member hardly less eminent for his literary gifts than as a geologist. But though much the senior, this was not the only social club in the Royal Society. A second was founded in 1847, and continued till 1901, when the two were united. Their aims, however, were not identical. The older club had grown up, perhaps without any formal beginning, as a social institution. The younger one, while not by any means repudiating this position, had more definite purposes. It arose from a sense of dissatisfaction, which was felt, rather before the middle of last century, at the condition and management of the Royal Society, by not a few of its more energetic and eminent Fellows. They were convinced that it was not occupying the position or exercising the influence in the country which it ought to be doing, and that this failure was partly due to the way in which its Fellows were elected; in other words, that there was a danger lest it should be said of the Society, as it was formerly of a very attractive College at Oxford, that the chief qualifications for its Fellowship were for the candidate to be 'well-born, well-dressed, and moderately learned [in science].' "The agitation for reform," to quote Sir A. Geikie's words, "became so urgent that, in 1846, the Council appointed a Committee to consider the mode of election of Fellows. The result of the deliberations of the Committee was seen next year in the adoption of a new series of statutes which wrought a revolution in the procedure of the Society in regard to this matter."

Download or read book The Ascent of John Tyndall written by Roland Jackson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-03-13 with total page 593 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rising from a humble background in rural southern Ireland, John Tyndall became one of the foremost physicists, communicators of science, and polemicists in mid-Victorian Britain. In science, he is known for his important work in meteorology, climate science, magnetism, acoustics, and bacteriology. His discoveries include the physical basis of the warming of the Earth's atmosphere (the basis of the greenhouse effect), and establishing why the sky is blue. But he was also a leading communicator of science, drawing great crowds to his lectures at the Royal Institution, while also playing an active role in the Royal Society. Tyndall moved in the highest social and intellectual circles. A friend of Tennyson and Carlyle, as well as Michael Faraday and Thomas Huxley, Tyndall was one of the most visible advocates of a scientific world view as tensions grew between developing scientific knowledge and theology. He was an active and often controversial commentator, through letters, essays, speeches, and debates, on the scientific, political, and social issues of the day, with strongly stated views on Ireland, religion, race, and the role of women. Widely read in America, his lecture tour there in 1872-73 was a great success. Roland Jackson paints a picture of an individual at the heart of Victorian science and society. He also describes Tyndall's importance as a pioneering mountaineer in what has become known as the Golden Age of Alpinism. Among other feats, Tyndall was the first to traverse the Matterhorn. He presents Tyndall as a complex personality, full of contrasts, with his intense sense of duty, his deep love of poetry, his generosity to friends and his combativeness, his persistent ill-health alongside great physical stamina driving him to his mountaineering feats. Drawing on Tyndall's letters and journals for this first major biography of Tyndall since 1945, Jackson explores the legacy of a man who aroused strong opinions, strong loyalties, and strong enmities throughout his life.
