✦ Synopsis

SIR : *

I have the honour to inform you that The Franklin Institute has awarded to Signor Guglielmo Marconi, Italian Senate, Rome, Italy, The Franklin Medal, founded for the recognition of those workers in physical science or technology, without regard to country, whose efforts, in the opinion of the Institute, have done most to advance a knowledge of physical science or its applications.

The award is minuted as follows: " That The Franklin Medal be awarded to Guglielmo Marconi, Electrical Engineer, of Italy, for his brilliant inception and successful development of the application of magneto-electric waves to the transmission of signals and telegrams without the use of metallic conductors." The medal and accompanying certificate are being prepared, and I am requested, on behalf of our management, to extend to you, representing your Government, a cordial invitation to come to the Institute on Wednesday, May 15th, to receive this medal and certificate from our President, for Signor Marconi.
