CreatorSwinton; Alan Archibald Campbell (1863-1930); British electrical engineer
Date20 February 1928
DescriptionAcknowledges receipt of a previous letter. Cannot pretend to be a biologist and is quite clear that Drwin was a much greater man than Owen and should remain in the central position, quite apart from matters of symmetry. Comments he has asked the advice of Sir Arthur Keith, who is of the same opinion after having been down to the Natural History Museum and looked at the present position. Informs he will be writing accordingly to Sir Ernest Rutherford.
