Abstract
Miss ROSALIE LULHAM, who died on December 28, 1934, was well known as a field naturalist and for her work as a teacher of natural history. During the last year of her life she was actively concerned in planning a course of training in natural history for students, teachers and others with previous scientific training, who, to quote her own words, “wish to make that practical study of living things both outdoors and indoors, which would enable them to teach live Natural History, making it the absorbing and enlightening subject it may be”. Such a course of training is being established at the Froebel Institute, where she worked for thirty-eight years, and where the tradition of her teaching is living and growing in the Natural History Department built up by her efforts. The College of the Institute at Roehampton Lane, London, S.W.I5, with its spacious grounds and its proximity to Richmond Park, offers excellent scope for practical study in natural history, and it has been suggested that a Lulham Memorial Fund be opened with the object of equipping the Science Department for advanced study in natural history. We trust that this appeal will meet with ready response not only from those who, directly or indirectly, shared the inspiration of her teaching, but also from those who believe that there is a real educational need for encouraging the teaching of biology through the study of living Nature. Donations should be sent to Dr. A. B. Rendle, c/o British Museum (Natural History), Cromwell Road, London, S.W.
