Abstract
Prof. Daly has held the chair of physiology in the University of Edinburgh since 1933. He was educated at Rossall School, at the University of Cambridge, where he took first-class honours in Part I of the Natural Science Tripos and was Thurston Medallist of Caius College, and at St. Bartholomew's Hospital. In the First World War Prof. Daly was a fighter pilot in the Royal Naval Air Service. He was a member of the staff of the Department of Physiology, University College, London, during 1919–23, a Beit Memorial Fellow, and lecturer in experimental physiology in the University of Wales, Cardiff, in 1923, before being appointed professor of physiology in the University of Birmingham in 1927, where he worked until he was appointed to Edinburgh in 1933. During the Second World War, Prof. Daly carried out research on the physiology of high-altitude flying and on poison gases in Edinburgh during 1939–43. From 1943 until 1945 he was director of the Physiological Laboratory of the Medical Research Council at Lulworth, which was responsible for the investigation of the physiological factors determining the fighting efficiency of the crews in armoured fighting vehicles.
