THIS is one of the very nicest things that ever has happened to me, and I shall often look upon this medal as an evidence that in spite of having been neither a very good physicist nor even a passionately interested physicist, I have nevertheless done something that was deemed worthy of remembrance. It will remind me also of my dear friend Karl Taylor Compton, of the donors of the medal, and of you who have come here to see me get it.
