TitleCopy letter from [Arthur William Rucker], to Henry Mitchell MacCracken, New York University, University Heights, New York
Date10 March 1903
DescriptionBecause Rucker is a physicist, he could not venture any opinion on the importance of a biological station on the island of Bermuda. The question should be referred to the Royal Society, which advises the British Government in such matters. The matter of land ownership would have to be dealt with officially, and the Society's view on scientific importance would be decisive. He suggests that the Academy of Science of New York should write to the Royal Society on the matter and he is forwarding MacCracken's letter to the Secretary of the Royal Society.
