In 1912 he was elected by the governing body of Gonville and Caius College to a Frank Smart Studentship, a recognition of the promising nature of his investigations. At the same time he was offered a Research Scholarship by the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries; after some hesitation he accepted this latter offer, which necessitated his removal to London. From the autumn of 1912, until the outbreak of war, Laidlaw worked, at the Imperial College of Science and Technology, under the direction of Prof. V. H. Blackman. Here he entered on an investigation of the Physiological conditions of plants forced under glass, working also at the effect of temperature on the rate of growth of a fungus, Sclerotinia libutiana.
