Abstract
IN the leading article in Nature of August 20 on “Educational Problems of the Colonial Territories”, it is stated that “only some 450 scientists are at present engaged in Colonial research”, and that “any expansion in research must draw largely on the limited supplies of scientific and technical man-power in Britain itself”. Most British scientific workers are superannuated at the age of approximately sixty-five. Many of them are capable of another ten years of research, and a moderate amount of teaching. Some, at least, would be happy to work in a Colonial university or research institute. The necessary qualifications are the capacities to work in a tropical or subtropical climate, and to form friendships with non-Europeans.
