pire, the Society cabled to the
Government of India for an extension, which was granted. Dr. Bose then
delivered a lecture, before the Royal Society of Medicine, on the 30th
October 1914. The Royal Society of Medicine officially addressed the
Secretary of State for India as follows:--

"... The lecture was one of the most successful we have had yet and
evoked the keenest interest in the audience, Sir Lauder Brunton,
Bt., and others taking part in the discussion, and warmly
congratulating Prof. Bose and the Society on the value of his work.
Since then I have received many expressions of appreciation that the
Society was able to offer its fellows such an interesting
demonstration of an entirely new departure in Biological Science."
"At the invitation of the Psychological Society of London, Dr. Bose
next delivered an interesting lecture on his theory of Memory

college of Science.

DR. BOSE IN AMERICA

Dr. Bose's discoveries in the meantime evoked great interest in America.
He was invited by several leading scientific bodies to come over there
and acquaint them with the results of his wonderful researches. So he
next went to America. "While in America, he was swamped with letters and
telegrams for lecture engagements from Maine to California" wrote
Professor Sudhindra Bose M.A., Ph.D., of the Iowa University at that
time, in the Modern Review.[38] "He has had so many calls for lectures
from various Scientific societies, Colleges and Universities, that if he
could speak twice a day and every day in the week, he could not hope to
comply with all of those invitations in much less than a year." As he
was in the United States, only for a few weeks, "he spoke before such
learned bodies as the New York Academy of Sciences, the American
Association for the Advancement of Science, the Brooklyn Institute of
Arts and Science, the Philosophical Society of Philadelphia, and joint
meeting of Academy of Science, the Botanical Society, and the Bureau of
Plant Industry at Washington. Among the larger Universities, he gave
addresses at Harvard, Columbia, Iowa, Illinois, Chicago, Michigan,
Wisconsin.... Everywhere Dr. Bose has met with a very hearty welcome
from the people of the American Republic. Even the Hon'ble Secretary of
State, William Jennings Bryan, invited him to give a demonstration of
his work at the State Department in
