- 35 +/-, red hair, medium height, balding
, a bit careless in his clothing, Speaks
well + easily. In conversation later with Dr [K.M.] Rae
I find that [Colin Bevan] Rees is a very temperamental sort +
a bit of a problem at the station.
Feb [February] 17/53 [1953] Had a chat today with Dr K.[M.] Rae, director of
the Scottish Oceanographic laboratory. My query was
with reference to possible fisheries + invertebrate
zoologists here. His counsel was that A) there was
no one at Millport who would be of much use to
us. B. That the fisheries men here are so well
financed + equipped that their working conditions
are almost ideal. Thus it is most unlikely that
an established man would leave; or if he did
that he would adjust well to pioneering conditions.
He states that Basil Parish, of the St An [crossed out] Aberdeen
fisheries lab. [laboratory] is by long odds the brightest star here.
Only 28 + already a senior scientist, pleasant personality,
attractive, stimulating + full of ideas.
Professor A.C. [Alister Clavering] Hardy, FR.S. [Fellow of the Royal Society], Dept. [Department] of Zoology +
Comp. [Comparative] Anatomy, University Museums, Oxford is the
most likely man to supply a young zoologist
in the marine field.
[K.M.] Rae states that Young [name crossed out] [Charles Maurice] Yonge at Glasgow puts out
very few invertebrate zoologists for some
unknown reason.
He spoke of the very interesting line of research
started by Wilson? at Plymouth with his observation
Marginalia: Staff - Fisheries + Inverts [Invertebrates]
