Julian S. Huxley, biologist, author and lecturer, was born 

 in 1887. He is a descendant of Thomas H. Huxley the famous 

 supporter and expounder of evolution, and of Dr. Arnold of 

 Rugby. For four years he has been president of the National 

 Union of Scientific Workers. He helped organize and took part 

 in the Oxford University Expedition to Spitzbergen in 1921. 

 Recently he has been pursuing biological studies on the conti- 

 nent of Africa. At the universities of Oxford and of London 

 he has taught a succession of youthful scientists. He has pub- 

 lished among other works : Essays of a Biologist ; Religion With- 

 out Revelation; The Science of Life (with H. G. and G. P. 

 Wells). His approach to religion and the idea of God is that 

 of the humanist ; and as such he probably heads the list of think- 

 ers and writers to-day in the scientific field.
