  • ROBERT WILLIAM PHILIP, Who Died on January 25, 1939, Was Born at Govan on December 29, 1857
    Sir Robert William Philip. 279 Sir Robert William Philip, M.A., M.D., LL.D., F.R.C.P.E. ROBERT WILLIAM PHILIP, who died on January 25, 1939, was born at Govan on December 29, 1857. His father, the Rev. George Philip, D.D., was later called to a charge in Edinburgh, and there Philip received his early education at the High School and University, where he took a degree in Arts before entering on the study of medicine. In 1882 he graduated M.B., CM., with honours, then spent some further time in post-graduate study at certain of the great Continental schools, and served for a period as house-physician in the Royal Infirmary. Shortly there- after he was appointed Assistant to the Professor of Medicine in the University and started in private medical practice. His appointment gave him an introduction to teaching besides affording opportunity for research work, and on his promotion to M.D. in 1887 his graduation thesis was awarded a gold medal and the Gregory Prize. In 1890 he was elected to the honorary medical staff of the Royal Infirmary, to which he gave life-long service as physician and clinical teacher. During this time he became an independent lecturer in the Medical School, devoting his teaching to general medicine and largely, but by no means exclusively, to diseases of the chest. He also associated himself with the affairs and activities of the more important medical associations and took a prominent position in their discussions. Koch's discovery of the tubercle bacillus in 1882 had, however, made a profound impression on Philip, upsetting the tenets in which he had been educated, and its corollary of the unity and infectivity of all the various manifestations of tubercular disease had opened up a completely new conception of the whole subject.

  • SIR ROBERT PHILIP: a PIONEER in the CAMPAIGN AGAINST TUBERCULOSIS by A
    SIR ROBERT PHILIP: A PIONEER IN THE CAMPAIGN AGAINST TUBERCULOSIS by A. T. WALLACE ROBERT WILLIAM PHILIP was born on 29 December I857. He came of a clerical family, his father and three paternal uncles being ministers of the Free Church. His father was the Rev. George Philip, D.D., of Aberdeen, minister of the Union Church in Govan at the time of the birth of his son. In I866, Dr. Philip was called to St. John's Free Church, Edinburgh, which is now St. Columba's Free Church, at the east end of Johnston Terrace. His son's curriculum vitae, therefore, virtually began at the Royal High School of Edinburgh. After an outstanding career as a student, he graduated in arts and then with honours in medicine in I882. He had, as he was to remark later, the luck to be born medically in the year when Robert Koch announced his dis- covery of the tubercle bacillus. He was resident house physician in the Royal Infirmary, Edinburgh, and then went to Leipzig and Vienna for a period of post-graduate study. While abroad, he saw the tubercle bacillus for the first time. Koch's discovery fascinated him irresistibly, and its wide implications kindled his imagination. Much thinking over the matter was to determine the principal activities of his life, and he returned to Edinburgh in I883, resolved to devote special attention to the study of tuberculosis. But he met with scant encouragement. On hearing of his plan, a respected professor of the Medical Faculty remarked, 'Don't think of such a thing.

  • Historical Perspective 1898
    stroke.org.uk Stroke Association: History perspective 1898−2012 Written by Anna Ritchie Part 1 Foreword This document was presented to the Stroke Association by Dr Anna Ritchie, OBE,BA, PhD,FSA, Hon FSA Scot, who spent many months of her free time painstakingly researching our history. Written in the author’s own words it charts the many phases the charity underwent – from its original conception in 1898 as the ‘National Association for the Prevention of Consumption and other forms of Tuberculosis’ (NAPT) - through to the internationally recognised ‘Stroke Association’ as it is called today. I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Anna for the tremendous amount of work she undertook to create this wonderfully detailed record of our history. Now everyone touched by stroke, and our Trustees, volunteers and staff, as well as our supporters, can follow the path we travelled to arrive at the organisation we are so proud of today.

  • Over the Years the Fife Family History Society Journal Has Reviewed Many Published Fife Family Histories
    PUBLISHED FAMILY HISTORIES [Over the years The Fife Family History Society Journal has reviewed many published Fife family histories. We have gathered them all together here, and will add to the file as more become available. Many of the family histories are hard to find, but some are still available on the antiquarian market. Others are available as Print on Demand; while a few can be found as Google books] GUNDAROO (1972) By Errol Lea-Scarlett, tells the story of the settlement of the Township of Gundaroo in the centre of the Yass River Valley of NSW, AUS, and the families who built up the town. One was William Affleck (1836-1923) from West Wemyss, described as "Gundaroo's Man of Destiny." He was the son of Arthur Affleck, grocer at West Wemyss, and Ann Wishart, and encourged by letters from the latter's brother, John (Joseph Wiseman) Wishart, the family emigrated to NSW late in October 1854 in the ship, "Nabob," with their children, William and Mary, sole survivors of a family of 13, landing at Sydney on 15 February 1855. The above John Wishart, alias Joseph Wiseman, the son of a Fife merchant, had been convicted of forgery in 1839 and sentenced to 14 years transportation to NSW. On obtaining his ticket of leave in July 1846, he took the lease of the Old Harrow, in which he established a store - the "Caledonia" - and in 1850 added to it a horse-powered mill at Gundaroo some 18 months later. He was the founder of the family's fortunes, and from the 1860s until about 1900 the Afflecks owned most of the commercial buildings in the town.
