394 GLASGOW MEDICAL JOURNAL Dr. JOHN SOUTTAR McKENDRICK. OBITUARY. JOHN SOUTTAR McKENDRICK, M.D., F.B.F.P.S.G., F.R.S.E., J.P. It is with deep regret that we record the death in a Nursing Home of Dr. J. Souttar McKendrick on 31st October, 1946. The announcement must have come as a sudden and unexpected surprise to his many patients and friends as he was active and apparently in good health shortly before his illness which so soon proved fatal. Dr. McKendrick belonged to a notable family. His father was the late John Gray McKendrick, LD.D., E.R.S., Emeritus Professor of Physiology, among whose colleagues and intimate friends were many great men renowned in the fields of Science and Medicine. Dr. McKendrick was thus fortunate in being brought up in an atmosphere so favourable for one entering the medical profession and the same may also be said of his brother, the late Dieut.-Col. Anderson Gray McKendrick, two years his junior, who on his retiral from the Indian Medical Service became in 1920 Superintendent of the Laboratory of the Royal College of Physicians, Edinburgh. Dr. McKendrick himself had a distinguished career. He was born on 5th March, 1874, was educated at Kelvinside Academy and after gaining certain bursaries, graduated in Medicine at the University of Glasgow in 1896, obtaining M.B., C.M. with high commendation. Three years later he took the M.D. with first-class Honours and a University Gold Medal. Shortly afterwards he became a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh and a Fellow of the Royal Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow. After holding Resident appointments in the Western Infirmary and the Maternity Hospital he was appointed to the Dispensary staff of the Western Infirmary in 1900, and in 1909 was promoted to the position of Assistant Physician. While on the Dispensary staff he assisted Sir Thomas McCall Anderson, then Professor of Practice of Medicine in the University. Meanwhile Dr. McKendrick was gradually developing a large practice in the West-end of the city which, with hard work and increasing experience, brought him much success and a great reputation. He resigned his post of Assistant Physician at the Western Infirmary in 1922. Among the many duties of a busy life, however, he found time to be interested in many schemes and institutions devoted to the advancement of medicine and the welfare of the community. He joined the Board of Governors of the Western Infirmary in 1926, and three years later 395 396 GLASGOW MEDICAL JOURNAL became Convener of the Medical Committee, a position which he continued to occupy till the date of his death. He was also a director of the Royal Mental Hospital, Gartnavel, and the Montrose Maternity Hospital, Go van. During the first world war (1914-18) he acted as Visiting Physician to the Bellahouston Red Cross Hospital. In 1937 Dr. McKendrick was appointed Visitor and two years later President of the Royal Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons, Glasgow, a position which he held for one year instead of the customary period of two years owing to temporary illness. He was a member of the Association of Physicians of Great Britain and Ireland, of the Royal Medico-Chirurgical Society of Glasgow, and of the Royal Philosophical Society of Glasgow. Dr. McKendrick had an engaging personality and was endowed with a frank and genial disposition. He endeared himself to his patients and his numerous friends and was ever ready to assist anyone who required his aid. He was a good companion and with his friends enjoyed motoring, a fishing holiday and a game of golf. We extend our deep sympathy to his widow, his close associate and support in all his work, and to his family of whom there are four daughters and one son (Dr. John Wellesley McKendrick) who, after release from war service, is now settled in practice in the South of England.

James Dewar-More Than a Flask

Although he was an excellent experimentalist, he did not leave many significant theoretical contributions. 12 Life and career ' James Dewar (Fig. I) was born on September 20, 1842, in Kinkardine-on-Forth, Scotland, the youngest of seven sons of Thomas Dewar and Ann Eadie Dewar. When he was ten years old he went skating and fell through ice in a frozen lake and when rescued walked about in hi s wet clothes until they were dry so that his family would not know about his accident. As a result he contracted rheumatic fever, which crippled him; he had to go on crutches for a couple of years and was left with a damaged heart. During this period he was in much contact with the village carpenter and practiced his hands in making violins. He always regarded th e training he thus received as the most important part of hi s education and the foundation of the great manual dexterity, which he displayed in hi s 1 work and hi s lectures • By the time he was fifteen he had lost both parents and went to li ve with one of hi s brothers who owned a drapery shop in Kincardaine.

Anderson Gray Mckendrick B. 8 September 1876 - D

Anderson Gray McKENDRICK b. 8 September 1876 - d. 30 May 1943 Summary. Anderson McKendrick, a British medical doctor and capable mathematician, pioneered many discoveries in stochastic processes. He also collaborated with W.O. Kermack in path-breaking work on the deterministic model for the general epidemic. The use of mathematical methods in epidemiology had become well estab- lished by the early 20th century. Among the pioneers were British scientists, such as Brownlee, Greenwood, Hamer, Ross and Soper. But none appears to have been as influential in this field of research as Anderson Gray McK- endrick. McKendrick was born in Edinburgh in 1876, the fifth and last child of John Gray McKendrick FRS and Mary Souttar. A few months after his birth, his father was appointed to the Chair of the Institutes of Medicine at the University of Glasgow, later renamed the Chair of Physiology in 1893. After graduating in medicine from the University of Glasgow in 1900, McKendrick joined the Indian Medical Service (IMS), achieving the top marks in their entrance examination. Before taking up his medical post in India, he was sent on special duty with Sir Ronald Ross in Sierra Leone to study anti-malarial operations, and the two returned to Britain on the same ship. Ross was keen on the mathematical modelling of malarial transmission, and exerted an important (and generously acknowledged) influence on McKendrick’s later work in mathematical epidemiology. For a more detailed account of these and other events in McKendrick’s life, the reader is referred to Aitchison and Watson (1988). It was customary for new recruits to the IMS to undertake a period of military service, and Lieutenant McKendrick spent 18 months in Somaliland during the expedition against the Mahdi of the Sudan.

HISTORY THE GLASGOW MEDICAL FACULTY 1869–1892: FROM LISTER TO MACEWEN H. Conway, formerly Consultant Physician and Honorary Clinical Lecturer, University of Glasgow, and R.T. Hutcheson, formerly Secretary of the Court and Registrar, University of Glasgow William Macewen (Figure 1) graduated in Glasgow in 1869, the year his teacher, Joseph Lister (Figure 2), moved to Edinburgh; he would succeed him in the Regius Chair of Surgery in Glasgow 23 years later. Bowman was of the opinion that, in its time, no chair in any faculty of medicine was more distinguished.1 In the interval between their tenures Macewen, based in the Royal Infirmary but not a member of the University medical faculty, dominated the Glasgow medical stage to such a degree that the professors within the faculty, distinguished in their own fields and some with international reputations, were overshadowed by the great man. Their careers as academics, teachers and contributors to developments in the faculty merit examination. In the two decades after Lister’s departure, the faculty faced many changes and challenges. Some, such as the move of the University to the western edge of the city in 1870 and the opening of the Western Infirmary in 1874, had been planned for some years and led to the transfer of University clinical teaching from the Royal Infirmary to the new hospital and the foundation of two clinical chairs (medicine and surgery). Other important issues were: the gradual separation of pathology from physiology; the inauguration of the first hospital for diseases of FIGURE 1 children in 1882; the evolution of the minor specialities Sir William Macewen.
The Late Professor-Emeritus JOHN GRAY Mckendrick, LL.D., M.D., F.R.S

OBITUARY The Late Professor-Emeritus JOHN GRAY McKENDRICK, LL.D., M.D., F.R.S. In Professor McKendrick there has passed away one of the pioneers in the modern teaching of Physiology in this country. He had the inestimable advantage of some years of medical practice before he became a physiologist, and he thus understood what the medical student requires. With him Physiology was the Institutes of Medicine as it used to be called in our Scottish Universities. It is satisfactory that in the last few years there has been a return to the recognition of this aspect of the Science and to its relationship with the art of Medicine. McKendrick was born in Aberdeen in 1841, and he graduated there about 1863. He then held various medical posts till, in 1869, he came to Edinburgh as Assistant to Professor Hughes Bennett. This position he held till 1872 when he started as a Lecturer in the Extra-Mural School of Edinburgh, that nursery of many distinguished teachers. When he was appointed Regius Professor in the University of Glasgow, in 1876, he found the Department of Physiology practically non-existent. His distinguished predecessor, Andrew Buchanan, had done no more than give courses of lectures. Practical work was unknown. At this time the inspiration of the great continental physiologists, Ludwig, Helmholtz, Marey and du Bois Reymonde was being felt in our schools and the importance of practical teaching was beginning to be recognised. Rutherford in Edinburgh was developing it there and in Glasgow McKendrick was not behind him. No grants from the University were at first obtainable, and from his meagre salary McKendrick bore much of the expense of acquiring microscopes and apparatus.

David A. Sutton A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of PhD to the University of Glasgow. The Department of Economic and Social History Centre for the History of Medicine Faculty of Law, Business and Social Sciences November 2008 © David Sutton August 2009 Abstract This thesis explores domiciliary medical care for the poor in Scotland. Domiciliary care is understood as medical care provided in the home by qualified medical practitioners, or medical students. The poor are understood as those simply unable to ‘pay the doctor’ for the services they received. Focus is upon service provision, and therefore this thesis is a study of the different medical agencies engaged in the visitation of patients, and of the diverse ways medical practitioners as agents of different medical services facilitated or administered treatment.
