HARLEY John Laker Harley, christened John but always knownasJack, was born in 1911 at Charlton, Kent. After early preparatory schooling at Shirley House Charlton, he attended Leeds Grammar School from 1923 whenhis family moved there. In 1930 he won an Open Exhibition to Wadham College Oxford, where he read Botany under Professor A.G. Tansley and tutors such as A.R. Clapham and W.O. James; someof his undergraduatefield study work wasofsufficiently high quality to merit inclusion in Tansley’s classic work on The British Islands and their Vegetation. The award of a Christopher Welch Scholarship in 1933 enabled Harley to embark on postgraduate study, on beech mycorrhiza which became, with a few interludes, the principal topic of his research career. In 1939 he was appointed a Departmental Demonstrator, but from October 1940 served in the Royal Signals, being part of the Army Operational Research Group from 1943 and workingin India and Burma; he was demobilised with the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel in September 1945 and returned to Oxford. His long connection with The Queen’s College beganin 1946, first as Browne Research Fellow, then as Tutorial Fellow from 1951 until his move to Sheffield in 1965. From 1948 began the most productive period of Harley’s research career, working with a succession of able research students on careful studies of factors governing nutrient absorption The work, and the resulting steady stream of and uptake in mycorrhizal roots of beech. publications, was recognised byhis election to the Fellowship of the Royal Society in 1964. In 1965, feeling under some pressure from university and college administrative committees and hoping to be freer to pursue active research, he accepted an invitation from his old friend and former tutor A.R. Clapham to take up the second Chair of Botany at Sheffield. In practice, Harley found a considerable administrative and departmental burden fell on him there also, including the complete redesigning and reorganising of the laboratories, and he was conscious of a further slowing-down of his research activity. Meanwhile, his very majorpartin the drafting of the ‘Florey Report’ advocating greater cooperation at Oxford between the Departments of Botany, Agriculture and Forestry had had someeffect, and in 1969 he was asked to return to Oxford and the Chair of Forest Science - a new designation indicating an intended change of emphasis. The full reorganisation and amalgamation which had been envisaged did not prove possible at that time, but Harley’s ten-year tenure of the Chair was J.L. Harley NCUACS 41/3/93 4 highly productive in his own research, in the development of the Departmentandits ‘Units’, and in his many commitmentsto the University, to learned societies and to UK and overseasscience. Manyof these continued after his official retirement in 1979, together with visits and lecture tours abroad. Harley’s personal qualities, which emerge from every aspectof the collection, include directness, pragmatism, thoughtfulness and commonsense. He wasa calminginfluence in several moreeasily disturbed communities, and his balanced opinion carried weight. He ran his Department on an easy rein and madelasting friendships at every stage of his career, as can be seen from the tone of the correspondence. In 1938 he married LindsayFitt, a fellow-student in the Botany Department and a graduateof St. Hilda’s College; they had a daughter Sarah (Sally) (b.May 1941) and a son Richard (b.October 1943). Lindsay shared his interests andhis travels, and there are innumerable references throughout the collection to her supportive presence. It is a measure of the family’s affectionate cohesion that both his wife and his daughter werehis collaborators,in, respectively, Checklist of mycorrhiza in the British flora (1987, 1990) and Mycorrhizal Symbiosis (1983). DESCRIPTION OF THE COLLECTION The material is presented in the order given in the List of Contents. Where applicable reference has been madeto the Bibliography prepared for the Royal Society Memoir of Harley (A.3) in the form Bibliog.... Section A, Biographical and autobiographical, includes the draft of Harley’s unpublished autobiography ‘As luck would haveit’ which has been quoted, with permission, in some of the entries, with a conclusion added by Lindsay Harley, and useful documentation on the principal events of Harley’s career. Section B, Oxford, offers a little complementary biographical material on Harley’s college affiliations, his appointment to the Chair of Forest Science and his contribution to the ‘Florey Little survives of his work on the Report’ of 1966 on the future of the biological sciences. University’s Hebdomadal Council, General Board and other committees, or of the routine participation in departmental affairs, examinations andthe like. Section C, Research, contains material from all stages of Harley’s career. Of interest are the undergraduate work (1932-33) on the ashwoodsof Ribblesdale used by A.G. Tansley in his own published work, and the graduate work (1937-39) with E.W. Yemm on ecological surveys of Thornton Mire and Huker Mire, Wensleydale. Harley’s research was almost always collaborative, as can be seen from the notes and records of the 1950s on beech mycorrhiza; his collaborators are identified where possible, but it should be noted that many others, such as J.S. Waid, D.C. Smith, D.H. Lewis, B.C. Loughman are not represented. J.L. Harley NCUACS41/3/93 5 Section D, Publications, while not covering the whole of Harley’s output, documentshis principal books (The History of Mycorrhiza and Mycorrhiza), manyof his scientific papers, andhis note of 1987 about his paper with J.S. Waid of 1955 which becamea ‘Citation Classic’. The material relating to the various tributes and obituaries of colleagues which he compiled, often over a considerable period, includesrecollections or information from others andis of interest. Several of the items in this section, which includes an extensive series of book reviews, are additional to those listed in the Bibliography drawn up for the Royal Society Memoir of Harley, a copy of which is at A.3. There is virtually no surviving documentation in the collection for Harley’s work as editor, referee or advisor, notably for New Phytologist. They are mainly Section E, Lectures, papers, addresses, covers a wide datespan 1940-90. addressed to a scientific audience, but include some intended for a younger or less technical public. Towardsthe endofhislife, he often came out strongly in such lectures against fashionable views on ‘ecology’ or ‘conservation’ in favour of a balanced approach toland use. Section F, Visits, conferences, symposia, offers useful documentation for Harley’s sabbaticalvisits to USA,his visits to Australia and New Zealand (as frequent as he could arrange in view ofthe presence there of his daughter and family), and rather more scanty material about his visits to India, and to China as leader of a Royal Society Delegation in 1975. In the 1980s Harley was a regular attender and speaker at meetings of the Northern Ireland Branch of the Institute of Biology, and also at the Congresses of the newly-formed European Mycorrhizal Society. Section G, Societies and organisations, doesnotfully represent Harley’s activities for professional and learned societies such as the British Ecological Society (President 1970-71), British Mycological Society (President 1967), Institute of Biology (President 1984-86), Linnean Society His work on Royal Society committees is likewise somewhat scantily (Gold Medal 1988). documented though there is material on the submission on forestry to the Houseof Lords Science & Technology Committee which he drafted. Section H, Correspondence, consists mainly of incoming letters, to which Harley usually replied in longhand. Though manyof his correspondents were in touch over a long period, there are few extended sequences and manygapsin the timespan. Harley’s greatgift for friendship is clear from the numberof undergraduate, wartime and early research colleagues who became lifelong friends, those in France or French-speaking Canada being addressedin their own language which Harley had learned at his prep school and wasproud to continue to use. There is also an index of correspondents. J.L.

For archival convenience, notebooks(C.1-C.12) and loose pagesorfolders of notes (C.13-C.53) are listed separately although their content may be related. C.13-C.53 in particular often include work by collaborators or research students, identified where possible, as well as by Harley.

Jamesi.e. Mich. 1930’. Work on the Ashwoodsof Ribblesdale 1932, 1933. In his autobiography Harley writes ‘I went to the ash woodsseveral times at different times of year in 1932 & 1933 ... | wrote up my notes when | had completed the trips and showed them to [A.R.] Clapham and[A.G.] Tansley whenthey asked for them. Tansley was impressed enoughto have them typed, and someyears later asked for permission to use them in his book The British Islands and their Vegetation.’ Material includes a manuscript paper on ‘Ash woods on limestone in Northern Pennines’, manuscript ‘Collected notes’ on ‘Yorkshire Ash Woods’, letter from Tansley on the use of the material in his book, and later correspondence 1953, 1954.

No date, latest reference 1932. ‘Some observations on the change of hydrogen ion concentrations of media, during the growth of neocosmospora vasinfecta and other fungi in culture.’ This was the paper submitted to the examiners of the Christopher Welch Research Scholarship, Spring 1933, which was awardedto Harley in the sum of £200 p.a. for four years. It was also the basis ofhis first published paper New Phytol 33, 1934 (Bibliog. 1). See also C.18, C.47. ‘The Mycorrhiza of Fagus Silvatica. An ecological study’. Harley’s D.Phil Thesis (abstract only) 1936. In his autobiography Harley writes ‘Indeed, my D.Phil. thesis, written after three years’ workis, to my mind, very poor, and | have rarely referred to It was examined by A.G. Tansley (Sherardian it or let others read it. Professor of Botany) and William Brown, then Professor of Plant Pathology at Imperial College. The viva voce examination waslong, over 2% hours, but very friendly and helpful. Brown, | recall, worried about some of my statistics till he found that Roy Clapham had advised me. Tansley, near the end, volunteered the information that he thought that the subject was too complex, as he now realised, for a D.Phil. candidate, and rather than three years alone it would take at least ten years with several helpers to J.L. Harley NCUACS 41/3/93 17 Research make real progress. Brown agreed, and very helpfully referred me to a new line of thought: “biological antagonism”, a subject that in years to come wasof tremendous importance in both human and plant pathology.’ See C.20. C.18 ‘The breakdownof asparagine in cultures of neocosmospora vasinfecta’. Drafts, graphs and calculations c.1936. In his autobiography Harley writes ‘I observed the effects of nitrogen supply and source onrespiration rates and the breakdown of asparagine and aspartic acid.

Lecture to be delivered to the Carping Club 14 Dec. 1937’. This developed from the suggestion of one of Harley’s D.Phil. examiners In his autobiography Harley writes ‘I set to work to write a (see C.17). This | read to a group offriends who review essay on [the subject]... Friends used to lookin for a talk or dined in my flat in Headington ... asmokeafter dinner, and a group of us post-graduates conceived the idea of meeting and after-dinner discussing or reviewing some interesting subject... it was to this group that | read a paper reviewing work on biological antagonism in 1937.’ Graphs, diagrams, contour maps of Huker Mire and Thornton Mire, some in the hand of E.W. Yemm, some dated 1937, 1938, 1939. See also C.2- C.4. These investigations began in 1935 but there is no surviving material of that date.
