Abstract
THE trustees of the Strangeways Research Laboratory, Cambridge (Sir Humphry Rolleston, Prof. H. R. Dean, Prof. Malcolm Donaldson, and Sir Charles J. Martin), have issued an attractive little pamphlet setting out briefly the history of this remarkable institution. Beginning in 1907 in a small house as a research hospital with three beds for the study of rheumatoid arthritis, it has gradually developed into a research institute devoted entirely to the study of tissue culture both in its general biological and its more strictly medical aspects. Though still small and not too well endowed financially, it has now taken a leading place among the research laboratories. This remarkable achievement has been brought about through the lovable personality, the selfless devotion, and the patient, persistent, careful work of the late Dr. T. S. P. Strangeways, who died two years ago. Neither academic distinctions nor scientific honours came his way, but no scientific man could wish for a finer reward than to have his name associated with an institution such as this laboratory.
