As time entered November of 1912, the Australasian Royal Physics and Chemistry Research Association was basically reorganized into the Royal Science Academy.
Former members of the Research Association transformed into Fellows of the Australasian Royal Science Academy.
For these researchers, the change in their status was a good thing. After all, although the Royal Physics and Chemistry Research Association was valued by Arthur, their status as members was not so high.
Now, after becoming members of the Royal Science Academy, at the very least, they have a position similar to that of an urban city mayor, and they are considered middle-upper class in Australasia.
As long as they can successfully reach the level of a second-tier Fellow by breaking through the barrier between a first and second-tier Fellow, these researchers will truly enter the upper class of Australasian society, having an extraordinary status.
