Dr. Herklots would be, I think, extremely suitable for the
He was post of Reader in Biology at the University of Hong Kong. a student in this department from 1920 to 1924, when he obtained
First-Class Honours in Botany. He has, also, very good
qualifications in Zoology which he took as a principal subject for three years in this University and with which he has kept in
touch since obtaining his degree. From 1924-26, he did two
years post-graduate research at the University of Cambridge, work
on which he has quite recently obtained his Ph.D. I had no
hesitation in appointing him a member of my staff in October and
I have been very satisfied with his work since he joined me ́in
that capacity. He is an extremely clear lecturer, has good
discipline, and a very good influence over students. He has
taken complete charge of one of the Introductory classes during
part of each session, and has also taken complete charge of one
section of a large medical class. Although a comparatively
young man, he is one of the men singled out for special tutorial
duties in connection with a new scheme of tutors which has just
been established at this University, which is an indication that
his qualities in relation to students are appreciated outside the
Department.
