He began his medical studies at St. Thomas’ Hospital. He studied physiology under Michael Foster at Cambridge, where he fostered his interest in neurology. In 1885, Sherrington published a paper on the effects of excisions on the cortex of dogs, which had become a heated topic at a medical congress in London years before. Sherrington obtained his Membership of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1884 and a First Class in the Natural Sciences Trips at Cambridge with distinction. He obtained his Medicinae Baccalaureus degree at Cambridge in 1885 and his Licentiate of Royal College of Physicians in 1886. Sherrington journeyed to Spain in 1885 as a member of the Committee of the Association for Research in Medicine to study the outbreak of cholera and again in 1886 to Venice. In 1887, Sherrington was appointed Lecturer in Systematic Physiology at St. Thomas’s Hospital in London and was elected a Fellow of Gonville and Caius College in Cambridge. In 1891 he was appointed successor to Sir Victor Horsley as the Professor and Superintendent of the Brown Institute for Advanced Physiological and Pathological Research in London. In 1895 he became the Professor of Physiology at the University of Liverpool. Sherrington published several papers about the problems of spinal reflexes during 1891 and on efferent nerve supply of nerve muscles between 1892-1894. He published The Integrative Action of the Nervous System in 1906. In 1913, he became the Waynfleet Professor of Physiology at Oxford, where he remained until he retired in 1936. His honors include being elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of London in 1893. He was awarded the Royal Medal in 1905 and the Copley Medal in 1927. In 1922, he was conferred the Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the British Empire and the Order of Merit in 1924. Sherrington was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1932 along with Edgar Douglas Adrian for their discoveries regarding functions of neurons. He held honorary doctorates at the Universities of Oxford, London, Sheffield, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Wales, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Paris, Strasbourg, Louvain, Uppsala, Lyons, Budapest, Athens, Brussels, Berne, Toronto, Montreal and Harvard.

Custodial history The papers were largely acquired as a gift from Sherrington's son, Carr Sherrington by the Woodward Library in October 9th, 1964. Additional accruals were donated by Margaret Sherrington, Lady Dale and John Eccles. The papers were transferred to Rare Books and Special Collections in 2013. Scope and content The fonds consist of correspondence, personal documents, and memorabilia of his career acquired by his son, Carr E. R. Sherrington. The correspondence is largely comprised of letters. The first section are letters by Sir Charles Scott Sherrington to Sir John Carew Eccles, Carr E.R. Sherrington and to Dr. William Gibson. There are also letters from CSS to various other people filed under Miscellaneous Letters. There is also great deal of letters to Charles Scott Sherrington from approximately 317 senders. There are also letters relating to CSS, with approximately 18 different senders. Throughout the fonds are copies of letters obtained from the Yale Medical Library of correspondence between CSS and John Farquhar Fulton, William R. LeFanu, the Royal Society of London, E.A. Schafer and Angelo Ruffini. Finally, there is correspondence between Carr E. R. Sherrington and Dr. William Gibson, which were added later to the fonds, in addition to copies of Sherrington’s publications. The fonds also contains manuscripts, notebooks, notes and drafts by Sherrington, covering a range of subjects including Jean Fernel, Sir William Osler, and Goethe. There are address books, laboratory notes with drawings discussing the mind-matter relationship and biology. There is also an unidentified paper written in 1948. There is a collection of articles and book reviews about CSS, handwritten manuscripts, and menus and invitations for events. There are photographs in the fonds, specifically illustrations for frontispieces from books, as well as photographs of buildings, landscapes and laboratories. The fonds also contains certificates and diplomas received by CSS from various institutions, including honorary degrees and memberships to societies.

  • CV Sir Alan Lloyd Hodgkin
    Curriculum Vitae Prof. Dr. Alan Lloyd Hodgkin Name: Alan Lloyd Hodgkin Lebensdaten: 5. Februar 1914 ‐ 20. Dezember 1998 Alan Lloyd Hodgkin war ein britischer Physiologe. Er beschäftigte sich vor allem mit neurophysiologischen Fragestellungen. Nach ihm ist die Goldmann‐Hodgkin‐Katz‐Gleichung benannt. Mit ihr lässt sich das Ruhemembranpotenzial von Zellen ausrechnen. Außerdem trägt der Hodgkin Cycle seinen Namen, der bioelektrische Impulse beschreibt. Zusammen mit Andrew Fielding Huxley entwickelte Hodgkin darüber hinaus das Hodgkin‐Huxley‐Modell. Dabei handelt es sich um ein biologisches Neuronenmodell. Für seine Entdeckungen der ionischen Mechanismen, die bei Erregung und Hemmung in peripheren und zentralen Bereichen der Nervenzellenmembran eine Rolle spielen, wurde Alan Lloyd Hodgkin 1963 gemeinsam mit dem Australier John Carew Eccles und dem Briten Andrew Fielding Huxley mit dem Nobelpreis für Physiologie oder Medizin ausgezeichnet. Werdegang 1931 trat Hodgkin, ausgestattet mit einem naturwissenschaftlichen Stipendium, ins Trinity College in Cambridge ein. Dort belegte er Biologie und Chemie. 1937 ging er ans Rockefeller Institute nach New York, 1938 kehrte er nach Cambridge zurück. Dort begann auch seine Zusammenarbeit mit Andrew F. Huxley, mit gemeinsam dem er später den Nobelpreis für Physiologie erhalten sollte. Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs war Hodgkin unter anderem im Bereich Flugmedizin tätig. Außerdem arbeitete er für das Ministerium für Flugzeugproduktion an der Entwicklung eines Radarsystems. 1945 setzte er seine Forschungstätigkeit in Cambridge fort.

    The Presidents of the Chemical Society & Royal Society of Chemistry (1841–2024) Contents Introduction 04 Chemical Society Presidents (1841–1980) 07 Royal Society of Chemistry Presidents (1980–2024) 34 Researching Past Presidents 45 Presidents by Date 47 Cover images (left to right): Professor Thomas Graham; Sir Ewart Ray Herbert Jones; Professor Lesley Yellowlees; The President’s Badge of Office Introduction On Tuesday 23 February 1841, a meeting was convened by Robert Warington that resolved to form a society of members interested in the advancement of chemistry. On 30 March, the 77 men who’d already leant their support met at what would be the Chemical Society’s first official meeting; at that meeting, Thomas Graham was unanimously elected to be the Society’s first president. The other main decision made at the 30 March meeting was on the system by which the Chemical Society would be organised: “That the ordinary members shall elect out of their own body, by ballot, a President, four Vice-Presidents, a Treasurer, two Secretaries, and a Council of twelve, four of Introduction whom may be non-resident, by whom the business of the Society shall be conducted.” At the first Annual General Meeting the following year, in March 1842, the Bye Laws were formally enshrined, and the ‘Duty of the President’ was stated: “To preside at all Meetings of the Society and Council. To take the Chair at all ordinary Meetings of the Society, at eight o’clock precisely, and to regulate the order of the proceedings. A Member shall not be eligible as President of the Society for more than two years in succession, but shall be re-eligible after the lapse of one year.” Little has changed in the way presidents are elected; they still have to be a member of the Society and are elected by other members.
