ABSTRACT
Professor Geddes's Eastern labours done, and after serious illness due to the Indian climate, he settled at Montpellier, and was soon actively on the war-path there, despite his advancing years. Very soon further scope was needed, and he purchased an ancient chateau in the region where he is now in full swing, running colleges, buildings, gardens; and educating men who will be leaders in their turn. Each year he passes through London on his way to Scotland, where he still writes books on biological subjects in collaboration with Professor Arthur Thomson. This year their long-dreamed Essentials of Biology. Oar 'after-war' confusions, and perplexities and troubles, are thus not to be wondered at. But it is time to be working anew, in a fresh period, and in a better mood; that of the Fore-Peace.
