OUTLINE OF THE CAREER OF SIR ARTHUR GEORGE TANSLEY Arthur George Tansley was born in London on 15 August 1871. He was educated at a preparatory school in Worthing, Sussex, 1883-1886 and Highgate School, London where the teaching of science was ‘farcically inadequate’, 1886 to the beginning of 1889 when he left school to attend classes at University College London, listening to the lectures of R. Lankester, W. Ramsey and F.W. Oliver. In October 1890 he entered Trinity College Cambridge to read for the Natural Sciences Tripos. After taking Part | of the Natural Sciences Tripos in 1893 he was invited by Oliver to join him as assistant in the Botany Department, University College London with the result that he spent 1893-1894 teaching in London and preparing for Part Il of the Tripos at Cambridge which he took in May and June 1894. Tansley’s association with Oliver lasted 13 years until he was appointed Lecturer in Botany in continued to edit to 1931. Forest, the Forest of Dean and the Malvern District. In this way he acquired a considerable Cambridge in 1907. During his time at University College London he visited Ceylon and the Malay knowledge of the vegetation of different parts of Great Britain. In 1911 Tansley organised the first Peninsula 1900-1901 and founded a new botanical journal The New Phytologist in 1902 which he became a mainstay of British ecology and one of its acknowledged leaders worldwide. A light International Phytogeographical Excursion in the British Isles, inviting a number of European and lecturing commitment left free the season from Easter to October for work in the field, and he In Cambridge Tansley’s interests turned increasingly to plant ecology, and as these interests grew he organised and conducted many student excursions in such areas as the Norfolk Broads, the New British Vegetation, afterwards had been formed consisting of a number of British botanists who were especially interested in British Wales and Ireland over a number of weeks. Partly to help the foreign visitors unfamiliar with British 1911. This was the first systematic account of British vegetation, as distinct from flora. A second decided to make these excursions a permanent institution. In 1904 at Tansley’s initiative a small body vegetation: the Central Committee for the Survey and Study of American botanists interested in phytogeography to visit selected localities in England, Scotland, vegetation, a small book, Types of British Vegetation, largely written by Tansley, was published in International Phytogeographical Excursion followed in the USA in 1913 and it was subsequently A.G. Tansley NCUACS 172/3/09 shortened to British Vegetation Committee. In 1913 the Committee gave way to the British Ecological Society with a membership open to anyone interested in ecology at large, of both plants and animals, and Tansley served as its first President. At the same time the Journal of Ecology was founded as the organ of the new society, and Tansley served as its editor, 1917-1937. During the First World War Tansley became interested in psychology. He was greatly attracted to the work of Sigmund Freud, seeking to assimilate Freudian concepts with biological principles. At the end of the war he attempted an English presentation of his understanding of what psychological teaching signified in terms of biology and daily life. Tansley’s The new psychology and its relation to life was published in 1920 and enjoyed a considerable success with professional psychologists and the wider public in Britain and overseas. In 1923 he resigned his university lectureship in botany and spent 1923-1924 studying with Freud in Vienna. After a period without an academic position Tansley accepted an invitation to apply for the vacant Sherardian Chair of Botany at Oxford. Elected in January 1927 he held the Chair for ten and a half years (with a fellowship of Magdalen College), retiring as Emeritus Professor in 1937. He infused new life into the Oxford botanical department, making himself responsible for a considerable programme of lectures and field work. He also embarked on a substantial book, an expanded version of his earlier Types of British vegetation, which appeared in 1939 as The British Islands and their vegetation and secured the author the Linnean Society’s Gold Medal in 1941. an adjunct to it a Wild Life Conservation Special Committee of which Tansley was Vice-Chairman and established by Royal Charter in 1949, Tansley was appointed chairman, a position he held until 1953 establishment of the Nature Conservancy. His nature conservation interests were, however, of long standing. In 1913 he had accepted an invitation to join the Society for the Promotion of Nature Reserves (founded a year earlier by Charles Rothschild) and serve on its Council. In 1942 the Council of the British Ecological Society appointed a committee (chaired by Tansley) on ‘Nature Conservation and Nature Reserves’, whose report was published in the Society’s journals in 1944. In 1945 the In retirement Tansley was able to take on a good deal of public service which ultimately led to the Minister of Town and Country Planning appointed a Nature Reserves Investigation Committee, and as in fact Acting Chairman for most of its existence, 1945-1947. When the Nature Conservancy was Freedom in Science. heritage of wild nature in 1945 and a shorter popular presentation of his big book on British Isles and when resigned, mainly owing to increasing deafness. Other public service included work for the continued to publish, for example a semi-popular book to support the conservation movement Our their vegetation which appeared in 1949 as Britain’s green mantle. Other activities of his later years included his Herbert Spencer Lecture at Oxford in 1942 on ‘The values of science to humanity’: he had corresponded with Spencer as a young man, 1895-1896; and his active support of the Society for National Trust and his Presidency of the Council for the Promotion of Field Studies, 1949-1953. He A.G. Tansley NCUACS 172/3/09 Tansley was elected FRS in 1915 and knighted in 1950. He died at Grantchester near Cambridge, 25 November 1955. The preceding account draws on H. Godwin’s ‘Arthur George Tansley 1871-1955’, Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of The Royal Society, Volume 3, November 1957. DESCRIPTION OF THE COLLECTION The archive covers the period 1854-2008. A characteristic of the archive are the inscriptions and explanatory notes provided by the botanist and ecologist Sir Harry Godwin (1901-1985), Professor and Head of the Botany Department at Cambridge, 1960-1968. Section A, Biographical, includes a collection of writings about Tansley and his work which was kept with his archive in the Plant Sciences Library at Cambridge. These writings include the memoirs written by H. Godwin for the Royal Society and the British Ecological Society and his 1976 Tansley lecture. There is a little material relating to Tansley’s education and career including articles written by Tansley for his school magazine, 1883-1884, his essay in candidature for the Arnold Gerstenberg Studentship, University of Cambridge, 1896, his 'Diary kept in the East 1900-01' and his application Castle, Dorset 8 April 1954’. explanatory inscriptions. These include 'Early notes on Plant Anatomy / Plankton / Amentiferae’, Tansley for field notes, 1893-1937. The notebooks were used in diverse locations throughout the British Isles, in Europe, especially France and Scandinavia, North Africa, and the USA in connexion with the 1913 International Phytogeographic Excursion. There are also miscellaneous notes, drafts widow at 100. A small number of photographs includes 'Sir Arthur Tansley on Knoll Hill, nr. Corfe Section B, Notes and notebooks, presents a major chronological sequence of notebooks used by items include a little material about his medical condition at the end of his life and a postcard from his and data relating to Tansley’s botanical and ecological interests found in a variety of containers with (abandoned) for the Professorship of Botany, University of Sydney, 1912. Miscellaneous biographical a symposium Section C, Psychology, comprises a notebook titled 'The New Psychology Press Cuttings Letters’ and miscellaneous manuscript and typescript notes and drafts. The notebook was used for pasting letters 1894-1903, ‘Norfolk Broads Maps. Notes etc Lecture The Physical Features of the Norfolk Broads’, 1903-[?1910], ‘Quadrats Crockham Hill [Kent] Devon Branscombe Kent - Tunbridge Wells’, n.d.1905- 1909, and 'Charts of Fritillaries etc in Magdalen [College, Oxford] Meadow’, 1929-1933. and press-cuttings relating to Tansley's book, The new psychology and its relation to life, London: Allen & Unwin, 1920. The miscellaneous papers include a typescript draft of A.G. Tansley NCUACS 172/3/09 contribution on ‘The Historical Foundations of Psychology’, manuscript notes for a lecture titled 'On Criticisms of Freudian Theory' and Tansley’s manuscript copy of ‘Letter from Freud on Breuer's "Anna O". 20 Nov. 1932.’ Section D, Publications, comprises a chronological sequence of Tansley’s own publications, 1898- 1953, correspondence and papers relating to publications, 1913-1978, and a small group of publications by others, 1918-1939. Tansley’s own publications are represented mostly by offprints or similar published texts, the principal exception being the substantial documentation relating to The British Islands and their Vegetation, first published by Cambridge University Press in 1939, including letters found in Tansley’s own copy and ‘Data for Revision 1954-5'. The great bulk of the correspondence and papers relating to publications concerns two large scale projects initiated in the 1930s which did not come to fruition: the ‘National Atlas of Great Britain and Northern Ireland’ and the ‘New Students’ British Flora’. Tansley was a member of the National Atlas Committee and convened the British Ecological Society National Atlas SubCommittee, and was one of the editors of the proposed British Flora with J.S.L. Gilmour and A.J. Wilmott. The Journal of Ecology is represented by the 1913 memorandum of agreement between Cambridge University Press and Tansley on behalf of the British Ecological Society. Section E, Lectures and broadcasts, presents invitation and public lectures, 1896-1955 and university teaching, 1909-1937, including undated material. Tansley talked on a wide range of botanical and ecological topics to diverse audiences including pioneering adult education institutions in London such A.V. Hill, Sir James Jeans and D.M.S. Watson. Tansley does not appear to have given a talk and his broadcast, October-December 1942. The talks were given by A.M. Carr-Saunders, C. Daryll Forde, University, 1927-1937, including forestry and ecology lectures. The broadcast material comprises 12 University Natural Sciences Club and the Newnham Science Club, Cambridge. The great bulk of the university teaching material relates to courses given while Tansley was Professor of Botany at Oxford duplicated typescript 'as broadcast! scripts for a series of BBC radio talks on ‘Man's Place in Nature’ as the Working Men’s College and Morley College, scientific societies such as the British Ecological Society and the Botanical Society of the British Isles and university societies such as the Cambridge a report on nature conservation and Nature Reserves. The bulk of the societies and organisations material relates to Tansley’s nature conservation interests. There are correspondence and papers including maps relating to the foundation of the Society for the Promotion of Nature Reserves and its acquisition of reserves, 1913- 1945. The British Ecological Society papers relate to its Nature Conservation and Nature Reserves Section F, Societies and organisations, presents papers relating to six such bodies, 1913-1977: British Ecological Society, Magdalen College Oxford Philosophy Club, National Union of Scientific Workers, Nature Conservancy, Society for Freedom in Science and Society for the Promotion of contribution to the series, if any, is not clear. Committee, which Tansley chaired, and its preparation of A.G. Tansley NCUACS 172/3/09 reserves for the Society during the Second World War. A number of explanatory notes by H. Godwin are dated in 1977. A folder of maps of nature reserves appears to relate to the work of the Scientific Policy Committee of the Nature Conservancy, 1954-1955. The only other significant group of papers relates to the Magdalen Philosophy Club: principally typescript drafts relating to papers given to the Club by Tansley and others including the zoologist and neurophysiologist J.Z. Young. Section G, Visits and conferences, presents papers relating to only three expeditions and one conference over the extended period, 1905-1955. Almost all the material relates to the International Phytogeographic Excursion in the USA, August and September, 1913 including excursion programmes for the six sections of the expedition, press-cuttings and photographs. Section H, Correspondence, covers an extensive period, 1854-1955, though the earliest correspondence, 1854-1855, might best be described as kept with the Tansley archive rather than integral to it. There is a chronological sequence of correspondence, 1901-1955, which includes single letters or very small numbers of letters from leading botanists and ecologists from the first half of the twentieth-century, including F.F. Blackman, V.H. Blackman, F.O. Bower, L. Cockayne, H. Godwin, E.M. Nicholson, F.W. Oliver, W.G. Smith, D.T. Gwynne-Vaughan and A.S. Watt. Correspondence presented by named individuals features two correspondents: the philosopher Herbert Spencer with whom Tansley corresponded as a young man, 1895-1896 and the pioneering American ecologist F.E. Clements, 1905-1952. The bulk of the Clements’ correspondence is from his period as head of the Watt. Peter Harper Bath 1923-1952, including letters from A.S. Watt; and 'Valuable letters on Botanical Topics', 1928-1937, including letter and data from J. Braun-Blanquet and letters from A. Arber, F.E.
