Abstract
ONE evening early in 1907 Arthur Hill called at my house in Cambridge to discuss the prospects of an appointment of which he had just heard. The post in question was that of assistant director of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, in itself an attractive one; but Hill was much attached to Cambridge and to King's, and the thought of leaving was disturbing. I knew of these Cambridge attachments, but I knew, too, something of the prospects offered by Kew under Sir David Prain, then recently returned from India, and I had no hesitation in strongly advising Hill to accept the London post.
