Abstract
IN his student days T. J. Jehu, who is retiring from the regius chair of geology and mineralogy in the University of Edinburgh, had an unusually varied and distinguished career : at Edinburgh he graduated M.B., C.M. (1893), and B.Sc., with the class medal hi geology (1894) ; at Cambridge he took a first class in both parts of the Natural Science Tripos (1897, 1898) and second class in the Moral Science Tripos (1899). Later, Jehu became lecturer in St. Andrews (1903-14), during which time he served on the Royal Commission on Coast Erosion (1906). In 1914 he returned to Edinburgh as professor of geology ; and it was during his tenure of office that the Grant Institute of Geology was founded and endowed.
