Abstract
OPENING OF THE LADY HERDMAN GEOLOGICAL LABORATORIES. ON Monday, Oct. 21, the Rt. Hon. Stanley Baldwin formally opened the new geological laboratories of the University of Liverpool. The building is a memorial to the late Lady Herdman, who, jointly with her husband, Sir William Herdman, Derby professor of natural history in the University from 1881 to 1920, founded the chair of geology. On her untimely death in 1922, Sir William Herdman added to his earlier munificent gifts to the University a sum of £20,000 towards the cost of new geological laboratories. The generosity of his family and of other friends in Liverpool provided the further funds necessary to enable the scheme he had in mind to be completed.
