Tlu College CounCIl deCIded on J3 September to accept In princIple proposalfrom theLondon ImplementatIon Group (LIG) which would enable the College's non-cllmcal

activllles to be consolidated on IfJi-O sues -the Strand and London Bndge - by soon after

the year 2000 Here the Pnndpal describes the most recent developments on SlU ISSues for

the College.

he L1G's proposal would

enable King's Life ience

activities, Including pre­

clinical medical and dental teaching

and re earch, and the In titute of

.. urslOg, to be located at the present

Guy' Hospital site at London Bndge.The School of Education, now at

Cornwallllouse, could also beaccommodated at London Bridge,

while Humanities, Law and Phy icalScience and Engineering wouldcontinue to be based at the trand.

The Cornwall I louse, Ken ington, and

Chel ea site would be dl posed of.The propo al would enable the

merger of the Cnlted Medical and

Dental chool of Guy's and t

Thomas's Ilospitals (l~MD ) with

King' - already agreed in principle - to

be pUt into effect. Clinical teaching inthe new merged ollege would

continue at Denmark Ilill and would

also take place at London Bridge and at

the St Thomas's Ilospital ite. Social(including tudent Union) space andlibrary facilities would be on each site.

The College still need to determine

where the central administratIOn would

be located, and we will need oon to

come to a firm oncluslOn about the

iting of the chool of Education.

Following debate in the AcademiC

Board and the I· inance Committee In

particular, everal important caveats

coneerning financial provision and

arrangements for property tran fer have

been built in to the College's

acceptance of the LIG's offer. Theoffer' upon the outcome of publiccon ultation about the Ilealth Service

he Department of Electronic

helping to solve problems of

monitori ng the density of crowds and

the way they move.

Exi ting systems monitor thelevel of activity by using video images

taken 0.25 seconds apart and recording

changes in the image' picture

elements, or pixel , which correlate

directly with the number of moving

pedestrians. Ilowever, while the e

stems work well with a few p opl

in an open pace, they break down

\ ith a large crowd, and it is this

problem that the King's engineers

have been working on. In a pilot tudy

they have tudied crowds of

'v1anipulating the image to

remove the background produced a

high correlation between the number

of people and the nu mber of pixels

per uadcd ~everal of Ill' colleague

there to join him. L pon arrival at

,tream of oversea, ciL:l1li,t who were

keen to work with him: included

among t them were the biochemist

Oscar Bodansky and the geneticist

Kurt Ilirschhorn, both alread

eminent in their respective fields. Ilis

effect on the encumbL:11l ;taff was far­

reaching: he changed the outlook and

onseq uently the re;L::trch output of

the departmel1l: thL: mannL:r In which

thi was achieved is an object lesson in

man management (a L:oncept

incidentally torally alien to I larry). Hi

outstanding quality \\ as an infectious

enthu ia m for re earch and thi ,

coupled to a brilliant analytical mind,

allowed him to gra p the essence of a

colleague's research even though

perhaps not familiar \11th the area. To

watch Harry anal ing a et of result

Harry had a comprehen ive

knowledge of his ubjecl: both what

needed to be done and how to do it.

A recurring theme throughout hi

career wa an ability to ee the

potential in a new technique and then

explOit It brilliantly in hi own

re earch.. 'owhere i thi better

illu trated than in the work he tarted

at King' . u ing the recently described

technique of rarch gel

electrophore is, he initiated a tudy

which eventually encompassed over

100 genetic loci and revealed the

enormous extent of genetic variation

in man; thi discovery incidentally

predated by at least a decade D TA

based studie which confirmed his

concl u ions. Th is demonstration of

the biochemical uniquene s of the

individual had profound implication,

particularly for the diagnosi and

treatment of genetic di ea e, but also

found application in forensic cience

and there pro ided some of the

earlie t procedure for the typing of

blood and other biological fluid.

The combination of this re earch

output, together with his contribution

to the ubjeet, must urely earn Ilarry

the title of 'father of human

biochemical genetics'. In addition to

many inci ive review articles, he wrote

two superb text : Human Bioclzernical

Genetics publi hed in 1959 followed by

Principles of Iluman Biochemical Genetics

in 1970 and later in several revi ed

editions; both are beautifully written

and have provided inspiration for

generations of students.

I lis other great contribution to the

ubject was persuading the MR to

set up the Human I3ioehemical

Genetics He eareh unit in 1961; Harry

was Ilonorary Director until 1976

when the inerea ing bureaucracy of

university life which threatened to

keep him away from his research,

prompted his move to the Harnwell

Chair of Genetics at the niver ityof

Penn Ivania. It i a tribute to hi

brilliance and vi ion that, 33 year on,

the Unit continues to thrive.

collaborator David Hopkinson wrote
