The Academic Fruits of a Trans-Atlantic Relationship and Frienship Henri Ami and Charles Lapworth
Page Range: 126 – 131
Correspondence between Henri Ami and Charles Lapworth in the early years of this century illustrates the relationship between science and Empire fostered by both governments and scientific organizations. In a small way, these two men tried to put this ideal into practical terms by attempting to found a research chair at Birmingham, England, using Canadian resources.
