Description | Accommodation available for Department of Botany and Zoology hopelessly inadequate - unlikely to get anything satisfactory until 1968 - need £200 000 for building - agree with recommendations of Royal Society Ad Hoc Biological Research Committee - discuss plan to merge their departments into single Biology Department - if this cannot be done, wish to transfer their departments to one of new universities - ask for assistance and advice - comment on academic staff and on difficulty of retaining staff under present conditions. |
