Description | With reference to an earlier letter [CP/9/2] and Sir Archibald Geikie's reply, discusses a scheme drawn up by Sir Patrick Manson that would give £500 a year from the Tropical Disease Research Fund to the London Tropical School, for the study of protozoology. Asks if the Royal Society would be willing to move £250 of their money from the fund towards this cause, to create some sort of Professorship of the University of London, whose work would be carried out at the London Tropical School. |
