Research Worker To Travel Abroad
MR. J. H. TETLEY FAREWELLED The wandering scholars of the Middle Ages kept learning alive and in healthy growth by visiting the few scattered schools and universities in Europe. Today scientific students travel all over the world, staying at universities, meeting other scientists, pooling knowledge. Science has no frontiers—it is truly international. Mr. J. H. Tetley, research worker on internal parasites of sheep, leaves Palmerston North to sail on the Mariposa for America to attend scientific conferences in New York and Chicago and to do research work at Princeton University. Mr. Tetley will be away for from one to two years to concentrate on problems which cannot be tackled here. This experience will help him with New Zealand problems when he returns. Auckland was his university. Then he joined Massey Collego as a foundation student. Later he was appointed lecturer in agricultural zoology. He hopes to tour America and study scenery as well as science. His hobby is painting and sketching—art is the ideal relaxation for the scientist. Massey College staff bade farewell to this popular colleague on Friday and presented him with a leather brief case.
