SCIENCE IN INDUSTRY
"BRITAIN VERY MUCH ALIVE" NETWORK OF RESEARCH STATIONS (Per United Press Association) WELLINGTON, October 28. Britain was very much alive to the value of science in industry, and research stations had been established throughout the length and breadth of the land, stated Professor T. H. Easterfield, formerly of Cawthron Institute, Nelson, who returned to New Zealand by the Maunganui to-day after spending 10 months in England and Scotland. "Most of my time in England was spent at the chemical laboratory at Cambridge, where I lectured 40 years ago," said Professor Easterfield. Making Cambridge my headquarters, I travelled round the research institutes all over England." England was just as marvellous _ a place as ever, Professor Easterfield said. There was a feeling of quiet self-confid-ence everywhere, but no boasting about what had been done or what would be done in the future. " New Zealanders I seemed to find constantly in evidence," he said, "and everywhere they seemed to be making good. I found great appreciation of New Zealand uudergraduates in Cambridge and of New Zealanders who hold positions of responsibility in England and in Scotland."
