One of the privileges of appointment to a Chair at another
University is that it gives one the right to talk to many
distinguished people about their work and ideas. E. B. Ford was
known to me before I came to Oxford as the author of a book on
butterflies and as somewhat of an eccentric, but I was quite
unprepared for the welcome he gave me into the Department of
Zoology and for the enormous interest of the subject which he
gradually revealed to me. My contact with the Genetics Laboratory
was made easier by one of the first things I had to do. Within a
few weeks of my arrival, it came to light that a new building for
another department was to be erected on a piece of land, known to
us as 'Henry's weed garden' but generally regarded as being
derelict. Even my, at that time, elementary, knowledge of
ecological genetics made it easy to realize that the population of
caterpillars that had been under continuous observation there for
eleven years put it in a rather special category of wilderness;
although I did not succeed in saving it, I was able to persuade the
university to substitute another experimental plot and this may
have helped the geneticists to appreciate that the new professor
was not only interested in electrical apparatus.
