Major Vyvyan Harmsworth (R), director of corporate affairs, Daily Mail and General Holdings Ltd., and his wife Alexandra (L) visited Memorial July 19 as part of a visit the Harmsworths made to Newfoundland. In this photo they can be seen exploring marine life in the touch tanks at the Ocean Sciences Centre. Major Harmsworth is related to Alfred and Harold Harmsworth, founders of the Daily Mail and the Anglo-Newfoundland Development Company, the company that built the pulp and paper mill in Grand Falls-Windsor. Alfred became Viscount Northcliffe in 1905 and Harold became Viscount Rothermere in 1914, and was also father of Esmond Harmsworth, second Viscount Rothermere who became Memorial University's first chancellor in 1952. Major Vyvyan Harmsworth is one of three trustees of the Rothermere Trust which disburses one of the most prestigious and lucrative scholarships Memorial offers. Every year, the Rothermere Fellowship helps fund graduate work for a Memorial student at a British university. Major Harmsworth toured the Centre for Newfoundland Studies (where he examined resources relating to his family's business affairs in this province), the Marine Institute and the Ocean Sciences Centre's aquaculture operations.
