Abstract
THE death of Robert Sutherland Seton in Leeds on January 12, at the age of seventy-four, will be deeply regretted among the agricultural educationists in Great Britain. Seton was a native of Watten in Caithness and became a student of agriculture at Edinburgh under the late Prof. Robert Wallace: he graduated in 1894 and then studied chemistry for a time at the Royal College of Science in London. After holding appointments at the Downton Agricultural College and the Hariis Institute, Preston, he was appointed in 1900 to the chair of agriculture at Leeds, where he remained until he retired under the age limit in 1932.
