DESCRIPTION:The Cambridge statistical tradition can be traced back to A. d
 e Morgan (4th Wrangler 1827) and R.L.Ellis (Senior Wrangler 1840)\, both p
 upils of G.Peacock\, one of the founders of the Analytical Society. Throug
 h J.W.L.Glaisher we arrive at J.Venn and his lectures on 'Theory of Statis
 tics' in 1890 and on to F.J.M.Stratton's lectures which influenced R.A.Fis
 her\, E.S.Pearson and D.Brunt (whose book 'The Combination of Observations
 ' was based on them). G.Udny Yule was appointed Lecturer in Statistics in 
 1912\, succeeded by J.Wishart in 1931. J.M.Keynes\, H.Jeffreys\, F.P.Ramse
 y\, and R.A.Fisher dominated the scene after the first world war\,  and\, 
 after the second\, Wishart\, M.S.Bartlett\, H.E.Daniels\, F.J.Anscombe\, D
 .V.Lindley and D.R.Cox. Fisher became Professor of Genetics in 1943 and re
 tired in 1957. Amongst his research students was C.R.Rao. All this and as 
 much more as time permits!                                              \n
