Abstract
CAMBRIDGE.—In a letter to the Vice-Chancellor, dated March 7, Viscount Esher states that a generous benefactor, who stipulates that his name shall not be mentioned, has placed in his hands a sum of 20,000l for the purpose of endowing a professorship at Cambridge in connection with the experimental study of heredity and of development by descent. It is stipulated also that the new chair shall be called the Balfour Professorship of Genetics. The same benefactor “is willing to furnish such funds as may be necessary to provide and equip a small station at Cambridge for the use of the professor should such a course be considered desirable after careful examination of the methods likely to be most satisfactory for the purposes of research in the domain of genetics.”
