Abstract
THE Committee of Management of the Rothamsted Experimental Station recently decided to reorganise the old Department of Mycology, started in 1918 under the charge of Dr. W. B. Brierley, now professor of agricultural botany at the University of Reading, and to constitute it a Department of Plant Pathology with Dr. J. Henderson Smith as head. Dr. Henderson Smith studied medicine at Balliol College, Oxford, and then proceeded to the University of Edinburgh, where he took his medical degree; he was then awarded the Philip Walker studentship in pathology, which he held at Oxford until his appointment first as bacteriologist at the Lister Institute and afterwards as plant pathologist in the Mycology Department at Rothamsted. He has published numerous papers on animal pathology, especially immunity and bacteriology, and on plant pathology, especially virus disease.
