Tlu College CounCIl deCIded on J3 September to accept In princIple proposalfrom the London 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.

Chel ea site would be dl posed of. The propo al would enable the merger of the C nlted 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 in the 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 and library 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路 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. The offer' upon the outcome of public con ultation about the Ilealth Service continued on page three

The development I~ linked to curriculum reforms already being pioneered at KCS:v1D, acknowledging the need to integrate rapidly advancing scientific developments and clinical practice~ and to link hospital medicine with

a fruitful partnership for man years through the chool of Medicine and Denti try, and the new partnership will enable the In titute to develop its mi ion within the wider multi-faculty environment of the College, The existing Joint (oP/KC MD department wdl be trengthened, and at lea~t one new joint department will be created, rClnforclOg in particular the academic base of the outh East Thames Regional. 'eufO ciences Centre. As oon as the nece ary arrangements can be put in place, the loP will become a free- tanding institute of King's, and from Augu t the loP started to receive its II EFCE funding via KCL rather than through the I3riti~h Po tgraduate Medical Federation. DUring the period of association the loP will retain its own dircctor~ and Committee of Management. The period of association will last five years, or le s if any earlier merger is in the interests of both institutions. If this is agreed, the loP will cea e to be a separate legal entity and will be incorporated within King' , coming within the overall jurisdiction of the KCL CouncIl.

he Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering is helping to solve problems of monitori ng the density of crowds and the way they move. Exi ting systems monitor the level 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 details of the project are available from Dr ergio Velastin on ext 2665.

Harry moved from the I,ondon II o~pital where he had been Reader In the Departmen t of Il ioclH; mi,tr) and 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 farreaching: 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 was a wonderful inSight into a great mind at \\()rk. I li, Oil n COlhumlllg pa"ion was biochemical genctics: IllS research output was prodigiou" comprising over 340 papers, of which many described new d i coveries. As a consequence of hi voraciou, reading,

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.
