"SCIENTIFIC PRACTICE AND POLITICS: A PRELIMINARY LOOK AT BLACKETT AND
POLANYI IN MANCHESTER" (Revised version of a paper presented at the
University of Manchester, 23 May 1995) contains a note: "28. H. Austin
Taylor and Hugh S. Taylor were brothers who took Ph.D. degrees in physical
chemistry at Liverpool. M. G. Evans went to Princeton in 1933 to work with
Hugh S. Taylor." This note was to a paragraph: "Manchester, like Berlin,
was a site of regular visitors by foreigners in the early decades of the
1900s. During the forced Jewish exodus from central Europe during
1933-1934, Hans Bethe and Rudolf Peierls were in Bragg's Manchester
laboratory for a time before Bethe moved to Cornell University and Peierls
went over to the Cavendish and then took a post in Birmingham.[27] As
suggested above, there were close connections between Manchester and
Princeton University through the Hungarians Wigner and von Neumann, as well
as through Henry Eyring and the British-born and educated Hugh Taylor.[28]"

polytechnic in Brunswick. He then switched to chemistry and worked as an
assistant to August Wilhelm Hofmann (1818-1892), preparing TNT for the
first time in 1870. Tiemann became a silent partner to Haarmann in
Holzminden and Georges de Laire (1836-1908) in Paris, and carried out
research on fragrances. He later elucidated the structure of the
interrelated terpenes. His name is associated with the Reimer-Tiemann
reaction (1876) and the Tiemann rearrangement of amide oxides (1891)."
