Abstract
By the sudden death of Prof. Douglas Alston Gilchrist, professor of agriculture, University of Durham, Armstrong College, Newcastle-on-Tyne, on April 4, agricultural education and the agricultural industry of Great Britain have suffered a great loss. Prof. Gilchrist was the son of a west of Scotland farmer, and after leaving school, spent twelve years in practical farming, in which period he secured a thorough knowledge of the practical work and problems of farming. Afterwards he commenced to attend agricultural and science classes at the Glasgow and West of Scotland Technical College, and later made his way to Edinburgh, where he graduated B.Sc. (in agriculture) in 1889. In addition he obtained the senior certificate of the Royal Agricultural Society of England, and the diploma in agriculture of the Highland Agricultural Society of Scotland. In 1903 he was granted, by vote of Convocation, the degree of master of science in the University of Durham.
