SEQUEL TO DIVORCE
UNIVERSITY DISMISSAL.
NEPHEW GF LORD HALDANE. REFUSAL TO RESIGN. (Per Press Association—Copyright.) LONDON, December 29. A sensation was caused at Cambridge University by the dismissal of Mr J. B. S. Haldane, nephew of Lord Haldane, from a readership in bio-chemis-try because he was co-respondent in a recent divorce suit.
The University authorities asked Mr Haldane to resign, but he refused, insisting that ho was not guilty of immorality. It is understood that a large section of University opinion considers that the inquisitorial persecution of a young and brilliant scientist will only cast ridicule on the University.
APPEAL TO BE MADE.
STEP WITHOUT PRECEDENT. (Received This Day, 1.25 p.m.) LONDON, Dec. 29. Mr Haldane’s dismissal is widely discussed in scientific circles, especially in the light of iCambridge’s loss of a brilliant bio-chemical research worker.
