A celebration was held in Paris of the tenth anniversary of the death of Lord Rutherford on 7 and 8 November 1947. Professor M. L. E. Oliphant attended as the representative of the Royal Society. This celebration was organized by the World Federation of Scientific Workers, and primarily by Professor F. Joliot-Curie. As an act of homage to a great British scientist it was devoted to the single object of doing honour to the scientific achievements and outstanding personality of Rutherford, and was a tremendous success. The function was very well organized. The chief events, on 7 November, were a magnificent reception by the President of the Republic, which was attended by the Premier and several ministers as well as by all French physical scientists of note, and a solemn commemoration meeting in the Great Hall of the Sorbonne, presided over by the French Foreign Minister. The French President, M. Vincent Auriol, made a splendid speech of welcome, delivered a wonderful tribute to British science personified in Rutherford, and expressed optimism about the ultimate effects of the fruits of science upon mankind. M. Bidault occupied the chair at a meeting of 2000-3000 people, including diplomatic representatives of many countries, where speakers from Denmark (Professor Niels Bohr), U .S .A . (Urey), France (M. de Broglie and Professor Joliot-Curie and Britain (Professor M. L. Oliphant) made short speeches in honour of Rutherford. This was an impressive and moving occasion. Professor Oliphant was given the seat of honour between M. Bidault and Professor Joliot-Curie.
