Description
Others answer for their special expertise: my apparent crime for which I have to write to this most difficult of titles is that, so far as is known, I was Sir Vincent’s first research student and from then on saw him almost daily for some 26 years. To most people a scientist is his published papers, and in the metaphor of an enthusiasm of many of his Cambridge colleagues, which he certainly did not share, 234 not out (latest score) is a formidable achievement. Yet while we all wish him to achieve that distinction for which he wrote the address of congratulations to Sir Rickard Christophers (Wigglesworth, 1973h), this article cannot avoid giving him an inkling of the feelings of Mark Twain on reading his own obituary; for this, and for other things which I must say if this is not simply to be a paean of praise, I trust he will forgive me. Likewise, most of the now distinguished contributors to this volume, and many others who were occupants of the 'top floor' of the Cambridge Zoological Department during his long reign, would not forgive me if I referred to him in any other way than TVBWT for so he is to everyone (except to his face of course surnames always being the order of the day).
