| Summary: | Professor Taylor was elected Foundation President of the Institute of of Australian Geographers in 1958 and held office until 1961. A graduate of the universities of Sydney and Cambridge, he became successively Senior Geologist to the British Antarctic Expedition of 1910–3, Physiographer to the Australian Commonwealth Weather Service, the first MacCaughey Associate‐Professor of Geography in the University of of Sydney (1920–9), and Professor of Geography in the universities of Chicago (1929–35) and Toronto (1935–51). In 1951 he returned to Australia and in 1954 became the first, and only, geographer elected to the Fellowship of the Australian Academy of Science. Despite his eighty‐two years he is still intellectually and physically active, and continues to write with his accustomed éclat and zeal. This paper is an abridgement of his Presidential Address delivered to the Institute of Australian Geographers in Melbourne in January, 1960. |
