Abstract
DR. F. J. HARLOW is retiring after twenty-one years as principal of the Chelsea Polytechnic, London, to which post he was appointed from the Wigan Technical College. Throughout his service at Chelsea, Dr. Harlow has taken a lively interest in matters concerning education generally and technical education in particular. He has held high office in the Association of Technical Institutions and the Association of Principals of Technical Institutions, and has served on most of the important committees of these associations. During his time at Chelsea the Polytechnic has made marked progress and ranks at present as one of the most important technical institutions in the country. Its association with the University of London is particularly strong, as evidenced by the large number of internal students and the number of higher degrees which are gained annually.
