This family served for generations as tenant-farmers on the Dirleton Estate.

Yule families had been in east Lothian from 12th Century but there is a gap in records available from early 1600's to 1700's. There were still YULE families farming on the Dirleton Estates as late as 1875.

George YULE (b.ca. 1752) Dirleton, East Lothian, married Elizabeth Rose (Ross) daughter of Rev. James Rose, minister at Udney Parish, Aberdeenshire.

"Death of Lieut.-Col Yule, 9th Lancers- Poor Yule's body was not found till next morning. He had both thighs broken by musket balls, a ball through the head just over the eye, his throat cut, and his

21 Nov 2018 Descendants of George Yule Page 3 hands much gashed, besides other cuts on the head ; so it is supposed that when knocked of his horse he

had put up his hands to save himself. Four of his men were lying dead beside him. Poor fellow, I was in hopes he would have been very shortly a C.B.; he well deserved some mark of distinction, for no officer ever took more trouble or was at more expense to join his regiment than Yule, when-ever there was a likelihood of anything to do. Even at this time he was on leave in Cashmere but traveled dak all the way to be in time to take his command of the 9th till Colonel Grant came up. His poor wife and young family are at home. " ( MS1162/1/2/3 Aberdeen Univ.)

From the Military & Naval Military Times:" Lieutenant-Colonel Robert Abercrombie Yule of the 9th Lancers, was killed on the 10th June before Dehli, while in the command of his gallant regiment, in an encounter with the mutineers. By his death the Queen's army has lost a gallant and valuable officer. Colonel Yule was in the prime of life, and had seen considerable service in India with the 16 Lancers and the 9th Lancers, into which regiment exchanged. He entered the former regiment as a cornet in July 1835, and served in that corp. during the campaign in Afghanistan under the late Lord Keane, and was present at the siege and capture of Ghunznee, for which he received a medal; also the campaign on the Sutlej in 1846, and took part in the battle of Buddiwal, Aliwal, and Sobraon. During the latter part of the Punjab campaign he served with distinction as Major of Brigade to the second calvery brigade, and was present at the passage of the Chenab, at Ramnuggur, and the battles of Chillianwallah and Goojerat. He received the medals and clasps for the campaign of 1846 and for the Punjab."

(6) Henry YULE was the youngest son of William and Elizabeth (PATERSON) YULE. He attended schools in Edinburgh, and Cambridge. He married in 1843, London, to Anna Marie White daughter of General Martin White of the Bengal Army and his cousin. Anna Marie died in 1875 at Palermo, Italy. In 1877, he married May Wilhelmina daughter of Fulwar Skipwith of the Bengal Service. She died 26 April 1881, London.

Amy Francis Yule seems to be his only child.

In 1940, Henry was appointed to the Bengal Engineers. His first appointment in India was among the Kasias, primitive Monogloid people on the north-east borders of Bengal. In 1855 he was appointed under- secretary to the newly formed public works department by Lord Dalhousie, governor-general of India. He served as the chronicler to the embassy in Burmah. He was appointed governor-general suceeding Lord Canning. He retired from government service in 1862 and created C.B. in 1863.

He retired to Italy and settled in Palmero. In 1870, his most famous work Marco Polo was published. He earned the gold medal of the Geographical Society of Italy and the founder's medal from the Royal Geographical Society. He returned to England and served on the Indian council. In 1889, he was created K.C.S.I.

(7) George Udney YULE was given the C.B.E. in 1918, F.R.S. in 1921. Lecturer in statistics at the St. John's College, Cambridge. He wrote An Introduction to the Theory of Statstics, in 1911 and published numerous other papers on statistics.

21 Nov 2018 Descendants of George Yule Page 10 George Yule studied engineering and physics and worked on waves. He worked along side Pearson from 1893 and became more and more interested in statistics. He worked at the University College in London and was promoted to Assistant Professor of Applied Mathematics in 1896. He published "On Theory of Correlation" in 1897 and developed an approach to correlation via regression over the next few years. In 1912, he accepted a Lectureship in Statistics at Cambridge University taking a drop in salary but never regretted the move. By the 1920's his concept of a new use for least squares predominated applications in social science. During World War I he worked as a statistician in the army and then at the Ministry of Food. He was awarded a C. B. E. for his work there. In 1944, he applied statistics to literary style and published "the Statistical Study of

Literary Vocabulary". I his biography it mentions that he did not develop any new branches in statistical theory but opened the way for later statisticians to develop new theories.

different source George Udny Yule's father was also called George Udny Yule. George Udny Yule senior was one of three brothers, the other two being Robert Yule (killed during the Indian Mutiny while commanding the 9th Lancers at Delhi), and Henry Yule (a colonel in the Royal Engineers but also a leading scholar who edited Marco Polo's Travels and was knighted). George Yule senior was involved in administration in the Bengal Civil Service in India and, like his brother Henry, was knighted for his services. George Yule senior married Henrietta Peach Pemberton who was the daughter of Captain Robert Boilean Pemberton of the Indian Army. The Yule family had a strong reputation for scholarship, with the grandfather of the George Udny Yule of this biography, William Yule, being a renowned scholar in Persian and Arabic.

George, the subject of this biography, was born at Beech Hill, a house in Morham near Haddington in Scotland. When he was four years old the family moved from Morham to Tooting, London. Remaining in London, they moved from Tooting to Bayswater where George attended day-school in Orme Square. When he was ten years old he was sent to boarding school at Dunchurch near Rugby, then after three years he entered Winchester College, one of the oldest of the great independent schools of England situated in Winchester, Hampshire. It was at this school that the physics teacher W B Croft gave George encouragement to excel in his studies. He wrote many years later about his school days [6]:-

I did not enjoy school days, being no use whatever at games or sports, but consider the education at Winchester in my days was in advance of much of what you see now - a well balanced course in both classics, mathematics and science: the only subject almost entirely neglected was one's native language. But Winchester, I fancy, was not remarkable in that respect.

In 1886, while George was at Winchester, his father died and his family moved from Bayswater. George remained at Winchester until he was sixteen years of age when, in 1887, he entered University College, London, to read for an engineering degree. In 1890 Yule graduated with a degree in engineering and then for two years he was involved in the practical side of the subject, working in engineering workshops. It was an experience which made him decide that engineering was not the subject for him, so, in 1892, he began to undertake research in physics.

Yule spent a year in Bonn undertaking research in experimental physics under Hertz. This was a successful year in which he published four papers based on the research on electric waves that he undertook in Bonn, yet again Yule seems not to have found the topic one to excite him enough for him to want to work in that area for the rest of his life. In fact the influence of his work in engineering and experimental physics was less than one would expect for, as Maurice Kendall writes in [4]:-

21 Nov 2018 Descendants of George Yule Page 11 It does not appear, in fact, that this early training left a permanent imprint on his habits of thought. One would not suspect an engineering background behind his

mature work; the only point at which it exerted some influence was in his careful and expert draughtsmanship and his preference for diagrammatic representation.

Yule returned from Germany to London in the summer of 1893 and was offered a post as a demonstrator in University College, London, by Karl Pearson. In fact Pearson had known Yule when he had studied at University College as an undergraduate so he knew that he was appointing someone with great potential. For the first time, Yule was inspired by the work which he undertook with Pearson, and his first paper on statistics appeared in 1895 On the correlation of total pauperism with proportion of out-relief. This work [3]:-

... introduced correlation coefficients in studying two-way tables in the earlier volumes of the monumental work of Booth [Life and labour of the people of London (1889-1893)].

In 1895 Yule was elected to the Royal Statistical Society and over the next few years, inspired by Pearson, he produced a series of important articles on the statistics of regression and correlation. Yule's work entitled On the Theory of Correlation was first published in 1897. He developed his approach to correlation via regression over the next few years with a conceptually new use of least squares and by the 1920's his approach predominated in applications in the social sciences.

Let us illustrate the types of statistical problems that Yule worked on by quoting from his own introduction to one of his papers, namely On the association of attributes in statistics: with illustrations from the material of the Childhood Society etc. written in 1899:-

In the ordinary theory of statistical correlation, normal or otherwise, we are always supposed to be dealing with material susceptible of continuous variation, or at least of variation by a considerable number of discontinuous steps. The correlation of lengths or measurements on portions of the body form examples of the first kind; of numbers of children in families, petals or other parts of flowers, are examples of the second.

Certain practical cases arise, however, where either no variation is thinkable at all, or else is not measured or possibly measured. We may class a number of individuals into deaf and not deaf, blind and not blind, imbecile and not imbecile, without attempting to go further ... and demand on the basis of the enumeration a discussion of the association.

He progressed from his appointment as a demonstrator to that of Assistant Professor of Applied Mathematics at University College in 1896, but as he was paid scarcely enough to live on, he left his assistant professorship in 1899 to take up the better paid position of secretary to the examination board of the City and Guilds of London Institute. In fact his affiliation is given as "Formally Assistant Professor of Applied Mathematics, University College, London" in the 1899 paper from whose introduction we quoted above. The reason for Yule needing a better salary was that he had married May Winifred Cummings, the daughter of the Principal of the Guildhall School of Music in 1899. However Yates writes in [6]:-

The marriage was not a success, and was annulled in 1912, there being no

children.

This change of job did not lessen Yule's research output in statistics, nor did it end

21 Nov 2018 Descendants of George Yule Page 12 his association with University College, London, for over the next few years he gave the annual Newmarch Lectures in Statistics. These lectures became the basis for Yule's famous text Introduction to the Theory of Statistics which he first published in 1911. The text was intended for those who possessed only a limited knowledge of mathematics and proved a great success. It was a book clearly reflecting Pearson's approach to statistics, but containing many of the notable contributions made by Yule. It ran to fourteen editions but, perhaps surprisingly, later editions sold very much better than the early ones. Neyman, reviewing the book for Nature wrote:-

In my opinion, this is the best book on statistics that was ever written.

In the same year of 1911 Yule was awarded the Guy Medal in Gold of the Royal Statistical Society, their highest award. While commenting on his association with the Royal Statistical Society it is worth noting that Yule was secretary to the Society from 1907 to 1919 and President from 1924 to 1926.

In 1912 he accepted a Lectureship in Statistics at Cambridge, taking a drop in salary but never regretting the move. He became a member of St John's College in 1913 and lived in the College for most of the rest of his life. He was made a Fellow of St John's College in 1922, which was the same year in which he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. During World War I Yule worked as a statistician in the army in the Contracts Department of the War Office, then at the Ministry of Food where he was Director of Requirements. After the war he was awarded a C.B.E. for this work. For example he published (jointly with Major Greenwood) The statistics of anti-typhoid and anti-cholera inoculations and the interpretation of such statistics in general in 1915. The paper begins:-

Hardly any subjects within the range of preventative medicine are of more immediate importance than the methods of prophylaxis which ought to be adopted with respect to typhoid fever and cholera.

Typhoid fever has already been responsible for much illness and many deaths in nearly all the armies on active service, while cholera has taken toll of one at least of our enemies and one of our allies. Further, our troops are now fighting in a part of Europe and Asia which has always been a favourable soil for the development of epidemic cholera and was recently the scene of outbreaks among troops engaged in the present war.

Amongst the measures of prophylaxis which need to be discussed, that of preventative inoculation is clearly of exceptional interest ... we shall be obliged to devote a good deal of space to [consideration of the cholera data]. We have also been led to discuss various theoretical problems which might have been thought more suitable to the pages of a purely statistical journal. We are, however, satisfied that these questions of method ought to be studied in connection with the practical problems from which they originate.

The years from 1920 to 1930 were the most productive ones for Yule. He wrote

papers on time-correlation in which he introduced the correlogram and he did fundamental work on the theory of autoregressive series. In 1930 he retired from his post, by now a readership, in Cambridge. Although he was still active in research, and would be for many years to come, he had begun to regret that statistics had expanded into such a broad topic that he would never be able to keep up to date. When Karl Pearson died in 1936, Yule was deeply affected.

He could beat the insurance companies but not his health for sadly he suffered a heart problem in 1931 which prevented him for flying and made him a partial invalid for the rest of his life.

In 1937 Yule produced a thorough revision of the text of Introduction to the Theory of Statistics for the eleventh edition published in that year. Maurice Kendall writes in [4]:-

The increasing popularity of the book did a great deal to counteract Yule's feeling of being left behind by modern developments. He professed to be astonished that the work fulfilled his earlier hope that it would be useful to new generations of students, but he was undoubtedly greatly pleased and comforted.

The fourteenth and last edition of Introduction to the Theory of Statistics was written jointly with Maurice Kendall and published in 1950, shortly before Yule's death. The first half of the book deals with descriptive statistics: the theory of attributes, frequency distributions and their characteristics, correlation and regression, and curve fitting). The second half of the book deals with sampling theory: large and small samples, chi-square, analysis of variance. The last chapters discuss interpolation and graduation, index numbers, and time series.

In his later years he applied statistics to literary style and published a book The statistical study of literary vocabulary in 1944. His paper Cumulative sampling: a speculation as to what happens in copying manuscripts (1946) is described in a review by Feller as follows:-

Variations in old manuscripts are to a great extent due to copying errors and these are in turn frequently related to "danger spots" in the outward appearance. Since the error removes the danger spot, variations due to copying errors will in general be more stable than the original version. The author uses an admittedly greatly oversimplified model of a random game to study the probable development within so-called families of texts. The mathematics is elementary and the interest of the paper lies in conclusions which apparently differ greatly from commonly accepted views. It is stated that the criterion has been applied to a particular case with results contradicting the philologists' conclusions.

Yule did not develop any completely new branches of statistical theory but he took the first steps in many areas which proved important in their further development

by later statisticians. Maurice Kendall's comment in [4] as to Yule's contribution is, however, very appropriate:-

A great deal of Yule's contributions to the advancement of statistics cannot come to light; they reside in the stimulus he gave to his students, the discussions he held with his colleagues on a host of subjects, notably agriculture and demography, and the advice he freely tendered to all who consulted him, for he was always a most approachable man.

The story about Yule learning to fly tells us something of his character. In addition Maurice Kendall tells us in [4] that Yule was:-

... kindly, gentle and genial. His wide knowledge of many subjects and his love of an apposite story made him the best of companions. His correspondence was a delightful mixture of shop, anecdote, and commentary on things in general ...

By the late 1940s, however, his health began to deteriorate again and he spent the last two and a half years of his life in nursing homes [4]:-

... walking a little, reading a little, corresponding a little, but conscious that his powers were failing, and waiting, not always patiently, for the end.

He died in the Evelyn Nursing Home in Cambridge at age 83.

George Udny Yule's father was also called George Udny Yule. George Udny Yule

21 Nov 2018 Descendants of George Yule Page 15 senior was one of three brothers, the other two being Robert Yule (killed during the Indian Mutiny while commanding the 9th Lancers at Delhi), and Henry Yule (a colonel in the Royal Engineers but also a leading scholar who edited Marco Polo's Travels and was knighted). George Yule senior was involved in administration in the Bengal Civil Service in India and, like his brother Henry, was knighted for his services. George Yule senior married Henrietta Peach Pemberton who was the daughter of Captain Robert Boilean Pemberton of the Indian Army. The Yule family had a strong reputation for scholarship, with the grandfather of the George Udny Yule of this biography, William Yule, being a renowned scholar in Persian and Arabic.

I did not enjoy school days, being no use whatever at games or sports, but consider the education at Winchester in my days was in advance of much of what

you see now - a well balanced course in both classics, mathematics and science: the only subject almost entirely neglected was one's native language. But Winchester, I fancy, was not remarkable in that respect.

It does not appear, in fact, that this early training left a permanent imprint on his habits of thought. One would not suspect an engineering background behind his mature work; the only point at which it exerted some influence was in his careful and expert draughtsmanship and his preference for diagrammatic representation.

correlation of lengths or measurements on portions of the body form examples of the first kind; of numbers of children in families, petals or other parts of flowers, are examples of the second.

The marriage was not a success, and was annulled in 1912, there being no children.

This change of job did not lessen Yule's research output in statistics, nor did it end his association with University College, London, for over the next few years he gave the annual Newmarch Lectures in Statistics. These lectures became the basis for Yule's famous text Introduction to the Theory of Statistics which he first published in 1911. The text was intended for those who possessed only a limited knowledge of mathematics and proved a great success. It was a book clearly reflecting Pearson's approach to statistics, but containing many of the notable contributions made by Yule. It ran to fourteen editions but, perhaps surprisingly, later editions sold very much better than the early ones. Neyman, reviewing the book for Nature wrote:-

In my opinion, this is the best book on statistics that was ever written.

When Karl Pearson died in 1936, Yule was deeply affected.

Let us relate a story about Yule which tells us quite a bit about his character. He became interested in driving a car in the 1920s and would, it was reported, drive at reckless speeds. This desire for speed made him want to fly which he decided he would do when he had retired. However, after he retired he discovered that he was too old to qualify for insurance and no company would teach him to fly. He was not to be stopped by such problems, however, and he purchased his own plane and qualified for his pilot's licence in 1931. He could beat the insurance companies but not his health for sadly he suffered a heart problem in 1931 which prevented him for flying and made him a partial invalid for the rest of his life.

The story about Yule learning to fly tells us something of his character. In addition Maurice Kendall tells us in [4] that Yule was:-

As we mentioned above, Yule's health problems began in 1931 when he developed heart problems. He life after this time was lived with a degree of difficulty; climbing stairs became a major undertaking. He acted as if he had little time left to live, spending time tidying up loose ends to his work, yet he lived for twenty years after his 1931 heart problems. In fact as the years went by he appeared more prepared to undertake deep research again, and from about 1939 onwards he made further major contributions, some of which we mentioned above. By the late 1940s, however, his health began to deteriorate again and he spent the last two and a half years of his life in nursing homes [4]:-

On June 8th 1857, at Budle-K-Serai, Delhi, the squadron commanded by Lieutenant Jones charged the rebels and, although they offered a stout resistance, rode straight through them, killing the drivers, and capturing one of their guns. With the assistance of Colonel Yule, he turned it upon a village, strongly held by the mutineers, and drove them out. Sir Hope Grant stated in his despatch that nothing could have been better done or more gallantly executed. At Agra, on October 10th following, Lieutenant Jones received no fewer than twenty-two wounds, part of his head being cut away, and one eye destroyed, in spite of which he recovered.

Born at Liverpool, January 24th 1832, Lieut. –Colonel Jones is the son of the late Archdeacon Jones. Educated at Liverpool College and Staff College, Sandhurst, he entered the 9th Lancers in 1852. Throughout the siege of Delhi served as D.A.Q.M.G. to the cavalry, being there three times mentioned in despatches, and promoted Captain and Brevet-Major.

Graduated at the Staff College 1861, served on the Staff at the Cape, 1861-7, retiring 1872.
