Social imperialism and state support for agricultural research in Edwardian Britain
Annals of Science 48 (6):509-526 (1991)
Abstract
The origin, character, and reception of the Development Act of 1909 are described. Extant evaluations of its historical significance are presented and criticized. It is claimed that the significance of the Act for the promotion of scientific research in agriculture, horticulture, and forestry has been largely overlooked. The way in which the Commissioners of the Act interpreted their brief by establishing scholarships, new research institutes, and developing existing institutes is describedAuthor's Profile
