| Description | Rucker may recall their introduction by William Turner at the British Association in Glasgow, in 1901. He asks Rucker's opinion on the value of a biological station on the island of Bermuda under the joint control of the Biology Departments of Harvard University and New York University. The calendars of Harvard University will show some of the work being done there and he sends a few pages on the work of Dr. Charles Lawrence Bristol of New York University who has maintained a station on Bermuda for the last six years. A judgement by Rucker, for a station along the lines of the Naples one, would prepare the ground for a favourable reception by the Governor of Bermuda. Because Bermuda is related to Britain's military interests, aliens may not acquire land there, but it is envisaged that the scientific work is to come entirely from the United States, with the land provided by, and held by, the government of Bermuda. |
