Abstract

I WAS born in a little place called Rhu, in Dumbartonshire, on May 9th, 1904. My father was an engineer, the seventh son of a Presbyterian minister who practised in County Argyll. I was the last of the seven arrivals. Looking back over forty years the picture of my youth seems a trifle faded. I received, however, a certain amount of education, three years at Glasgow Academy and then to England and Denstone College.
