Sir Harry Godwin looks back over sixty years of life at Clare
College, the University of Cambridge and its very distinguished
school of Botany. He came to Clare in 1919 as an undergraduate,
became an early research student and was a Fellow from 1925. A
botanist, he was virtual founder of the science of Quaternary
Research in England, using the technique of pollen analysis to show
the age of plant remains and their distribution, especially in the
Fens and peat bogs of Eastern England. His History of the British
Flora (CUP 1956) is a classic. Sir Harry contemplates his threefold
life, as a deeply loyal college man, as a Cambridge researcher and
professor, as a member of the wider scientific world. He remembers
the long-past Cambridge of small college societies, still in touch
with the Victorian world, and tells of its characters and
conventions. He explains his own scientific work in terms that any
reader can understand. The whole story is a microcosm of Cambridge
and English life: the time and the world of Snow's The Masters, but
made more real and a great deal more genial.
