Abstract
OLIVER GATTY, who died on June 5 at the early age of thirty-two from an accident when engaged on research in the service of his country, was an investigator of exceptional calibre and promise and possessed a mind of unusual capability. From Winchester he went to Balliol College, Oxford, where he obtained a ‘first’ in chemistry in 1930. In 1931 he was elected to a tutorial fellowship at his College. His interests, however, were in research rather than in teaching, and two years later he resigned in order to visit Rothamsted, where he became interested in the mechanism of living processes. He left Rothamsted to work with Prof. J. Gray in the Department of Zoology at Cambridge, and later joined my Laboratory.
