Abstract

Lord Rutherford of Nelson occupies a unique place not only in New Zealand and scientific history but in the history of mankind. His greatness is near immortal, though trying to assess his actual place in the history of science is most difficult. Some have said that he is the greatest scientist since Faraday; others, one of the greatest scientists of all time. In whatever manner history has, or may place him, Rutherford will remain one of the greatest scientists and equally a great man. Evidence of this greatness may be found in the decorations and many scientific and academic medals awarded him which were presented to the University of Canterbury by his widow, Lady Rutherford, in 1938. The list includes the supreme scientific awards of practically every major country of his time. These and the many degrees, fellowships and memberships conferred make him undoubtedly the most honoured scientist of all time.
