"Would you imagine that, with her looking at me, I would do anything wrong?" Knowles says, indicating Margaret's pensive portrait on the wall opposite his desk.
Knowles also retains the love of music that brought him and Jane together in their undergraduate years at Oxford. They recently outfitted their Vermont weekend cottage with a piano.
In Vermont, the Knowles' wooded lot has demanded that the dean learn how to handle a chainsaw in order to fell trees and clear land--a skill that has served him well in his budget-cutting responsibilities as dean.
By training, Knowles is a research enzymologist. After obtaining his D.Phil. in Chemistry from Balliol College, Oxford, in 1961, he went on to teach and research as a tutor and fellow of Wadham, another Oxford University college.
At Oxford, Knowles directed his own research group, which investigated the workings of enzymes.
