Biographical / Historical
The Hubrecht's request for official status was first made in 1951 and was repeated in 1955 by Dr. N. Nieuwkoop, Director of the Laboratory. After the request was again turned down by the Bureau, the Executive Board decided to launch an investigation into the matter. Waddington was appointed by the ICSU to a small committee (the other members were Professors Brachet and Weiss) to report to the Bureau of the ICSU in time for its 16th meeting in January 1967.
