Abstract
CAMBRIDGE.—On Monday, June 8, Mr. William Bateson, F.R.S., was elected to the chair of biology, which has been established for five years largely owing to the generosity of an anonymous benefactor. Mr. Bateson, who was born in 1861, is a son of the late Rev. W. H. Bateson, D.D., Master of St. John's College, and has been a fellow at the same foundation since 1885. He was educated at Rugby School, and held the Balfour studentship from 1887 to 1890; for many years he has been one of the leading workers in England on heredity and variation, and has published several important treatises on these subjects. In 1904 he received the Darwin medal of the Royal Society.
