Biographical / Historical
In 1929 and 1930, T.B. Macaulay made endowments for the benefit of the Institute of Animal Genetics. The largest of these endowments allowed for the provision of the Buchanan Chair of Animal Genetics and the support of various research staff. Smaller amounts of money enabled the support of 'Macaulay Fellows' (mainly post-doctoral students or established scientists on sabbatical).
