Abstract
SIR HENRY DALE, who retires from the post of director of the National Institute for Medical Research on September 30, has long been the central figure in some of the most active fields of physiological and pharmacological research. During the years 1906-14, he was director of the Wellcome Physiological Research Laboratories, where he gathered around him a very brilliant team of workers. He then joined the staff of the newly formed Medical Research Committee, which became the Medical Research Council in 1920. He has been the effective head of the Council's laboratories at the National Institute at Hampstead since they were first opened. Under his leadership these laboratories have become world-famous.
