John Jinks first joined me as an outstandingly able research student: he became a stimulating colleague and a valued friend. His interests overlapped extensively with my own, and we both worked in the Department of Genetics at the University of Birmingham from 1950 to 1985 apart from six years (1965-71) w hen I was away at the University of Southampton— and even then we collaborated in writing the 2nd edition of Biometrical genetics . After he left the Department in 1985 to become Secretary and Deputy Chairman of the Agricultural and Food Research Council in London we met from time to time and inevitably discussed genetical matters among other things. These are the reasons for any personal or autobiographical element that may be found in this memoir.

Sir Ralph Riley was a leader in UK science. He rose to hold the office of Secretary (Chief Executive) and Deputy Chairman of the Agriculture and Food Research Council (now the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council) after having gained a substantial reputation in plant genetics, and cereal crop cytogenetics in particular. His wisdom and experience were widely recognized at home and abroad, including in developing countries where the needs for more food from enhanced agricultural productivity are so great. In the UK his vision in genetics led to the establishment of major national research programmes in molecular and cell biology in agricultural contexts, actions that put the UK in the forefront of these subjects. When he died at the age of nearly 75 years he was still serving the agricultural research programmes for the world's poor with his enthusiasm and beliefs that improved crop production grows from high-quality, multidisciplinary research.

This group, which is concerned with the applications of mathematics to agricultural science, is sponsored by the Agricultural and Food Research Council. It was formed in 1970, and has since met at approximately yearly intervals in London for one-day meetings. The twenty-third meeting of the group, chaired by P. H. Nye of the Department of Plant Sciences at the University of Oxford, was held in the Wellcome Meeting Room at the Royal Society, 6 Carlton House Terrace, London on Friday, 7 May 1993, when the following papers were read.

The Rowett Institute for research on animal nutrition had its origin under a scheme for promoting scientific research in agriculture adopted by the Development Commission in 1911.The Governing Body, which originally consisted of an equal number of members appointed by the Court of the University of Aberdeen and the Governors of the North of Scotland College of Agriculture, was constituted in 1913. Within recent years it has been expanded to include persons nominated by the Secretary of State for Scotland, the Royal Society, the Royal Society of Edinburgh, the Agricultural Research Council, and the Medical Research Council. Research work was begun in temporary accommodation in Marischal College in 1914, under the direction of Dr John Boyd Orr—now Lord Boyd-Orr—who continued as Director until his retirement in 1945.

AbstractBenjamin Baillaud was appointed president of the First Executive Committee of the International Astronomical Union which met in Brussels during the Constitutive Assembly of the International Research Council (IRC) on July 28th, 1919. He served in this position until 1922, at the time of the First General Assembly of the IAU which took place in Rome, May 2–10. At that time, Baillaud was director of the Paris Observatory. He had previously been director of the Toulouse Observatory for a period of 30 years and Dean of the School of Sciences of the University of Toulouse. He specialized in celestial mechanics and he was a strong supporter of the “Carte du Ciel” project; he was elected chairman of the permanent international committee of the Carte du Ciel in 1909. He also was the founding president of the Bureau International de l’Heure (BIH) and he was directly involved in the coordination of the ephemerides at an international level. In this paper, we present some of his activities, particularly those concerning international programmes, for which he received international recognition and which eventually led to his election in 1919 to the position of first president of the IAU. We also briefly recount the very first meetings and years of the IAU.
