This spirit was repeated by Chancellor Shipley, who in the absence of Sir Henry Jones, of the University of Glasgow, again took the floor. He also dwelt on the value of the pure sciences, such as mathematics. To illustrate this he said that seven years ago he was on a commission to chart the currents at the bottom of the North Sea, an assignment apparently impractical.
