== Early life ==
Peter Chalmers Mitchell was the son of the Rev. Alexander Mitchell, a Presbyterian minister in Dunfermline, Scotland. Mitchell gained an MA at the University of Aberdeen, and moved to Christ Church, Oxford, where he read for natural science, specialising in zoology. After success in the honours examination of 1888, he was appointed University Demonstrator in Zoology.〔Chalmers Mitchell, P. 1937. ''My fill of days.'' Faber & Faber, London.〕
In 1896, he was the anonymous author of an article in the ''Saturday Review'' entitled ("A Biological View of English Foreign Policy" ) which proposed the inevitability of a final battle between Britain and Germany, in which one would have to be destroyed. Having acknowledged his authorship during World War I, he still declared himself "unrepentant" about it in a letter to ''The Times'' in May 1939, describing the article as "prophetic".
