In recognition of his valuable researches, Dr. J. C. Bose was invested
with the insignia of the Companion of the Order of the Star of India by
His Majesty the King Emperor, on the occasion of his Coronation Durbar,
at Delhi, in 1911.
The _intelligentsia_ of Bengal showed also their tardy appreciation by
calling on him to preside over the deliberations of the Mymensing
meeting of the Bengal Literary Conference, held on the 14th April 1911,
when he delivered a unique Address,[26] in the Bengali language, on the
results of his epoch-making researches.
The Calcutta University next showed its belated recognition, by
conferring on him the degree of D.Sc. _honoris causa_, in 1912.
And the Punjab University also showed its appreciation by inviting him,
in 1913, to deliver a course of lectures on the results of his
investigation.
