The Faraday Society was a British society for the study of physical chemistry, founded in 1903 and named in honour of Michael Faraday. At that time, the Faraday Division became one of six units within the Royal Society of Chemistry.
Of particular note were the conferences called Faraday Discussions, which were published under the same name. The publication includes the discussion of the paper as well as the paper itself. At the meeting, more time is given to the discussion than to the author presenting the paper as the audience are given the papers prior to the meeting. These conferences continue to be run by the Royal Society of Chemistry.
In addition to its presidents,
and his successor Frederick Clifford Tompkins. Tompkins served as Editor until 1977, and as the President of the Faraday Division of the amalgamated Royal Society of Chemistry from 1978 to 1979.
Prior to the amalgamation, Tompkins received valuable assistance from D. A. Young, who became Editor as of 1977.
