Dear all!
This is a first announcement for a special meeting of th Highlands local
group of the RSS celebrating the centenary of the first lecturer in
Statistics at the University of Aberdeen (Dr William Robert Macdonell),
one of the first in the UK.
With David Kerridge, Paul Garthwaite and Peter Fayers we have invited
three speakers who have all played (or still play) an important part in
Aberdeen statistics. We hope that many of you will join us on this day.
We haven't finalised all details yet, but you will find a preliminary
outline below. More detailed updates will follow soon.
Best Wishes
Claus (local group secretary)
