We are saddened to hear of the passing of former Zoology staff member, Rodney Dales, who has died aged 93.
Rodney was appointed Head of the Zoology Department at Bedford College in 1970 and later became Dean of Science. He moved to Egham following the merger of Bedford College with Royal Holloway College and remained head of the much larger department, before retiring in 1992.
