TitleMemo from Sir Patrick Manson, communicated from the Foreign Office
Date17 November 1904
DescriptionDescribes the study of protozoology and helminthology as 'having special bearing on medicine' but, 'being practically confined to tropical medicine...there have been very few serious students of either branch, and nowhere, so far as I know, any systematic teaching'. Proposes a Government grant to establish professorships in these subjects at the London School of Tropical Medicine, and two young men be sent out to the Continent to become experts on the subject before taking up the posts. Suggests that such a scheme would add greatly to knowledge of disease and 'make the Empire independent of Continental experts'. p20.
