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
commuter at Liverpool Street tation,analy ing digiti ed video image from
frame taken 10 econds apart.
'v1anipulating the image to
remove the background produced a
high correlation between the number
of people and the nu mber of pixels
left in the the image. Their analysis
should enable architect and de igners
to examine the use of space. Further

1965. In that period he completely
tran formed the department. Harry

per uadcd ~everal of Ill' colleague
there to join him. L pon arrival at
King's. he immedlatel) attracted a
,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.
Ilarry lived for science and, as hi
collaborator David Hopkinson wrote
recently in a moving tribute, "he gave
it everything he had".
