Who was.... William Veale Thorpe?
William Veale Thorpe (1902-1988) was a gentleman and a scientist. His ceaseless energy, infectious enthusiasm and meticulous research established his group as pioneers, and himself as one of the architects of a new branch of science. The vast pharmaceutical industries of today owe much to the far-sighted research of Thorpe and his fellow investigators--a debt all too easily forgotten.
