    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part Two ISBN 0 902198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART II K-Z C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

Patrick Vernon 28 Appendix 1 – Labour Retreat Questionnaire 32 3 Reversing Labour Retreat Reversing Labour Retreat: the challenge and change of electoral reform The idea of examining and reversing what we have termed ‘Labour Retreat’ arose from discussions over the past eighteen months by Labour electoral reformers, looking for answers and actions to rebuild the Party we care passionately about and are active within at all levels. It was about the need to not only make the link between more democratic voting systems and other necessary constitutional reforms, but also make that quite separate link with the Party, the way it campaigns, its local membership and activism. It was about recognising that the voting system helps determine how voters, political parties and arguably the government behave, and thus seeing the potential for how voting reform could be beneficial to the Labour Party and its values and aims, as well as to the interests of democracy and cohesion.

    “DO YOU DO THIS IN SAINSBURY’S MUM”/“SHOW ME YOUR BREASTS” Roald Dahl, in his book “Boy and Going Solo” ISBN 0-14-034917-0 points out that in his view, when writing about oneself, and in particular about his idea for the great and daring Mouse Plot, one should strive to be truthful. He goes on to say that truth is more important than modesty. So here, without modesty and with truth is what happened when I went in to shop, helped myself to goods and walked out without paying. Did that eight times, over a few months that is. Did it again today, for the ninth time. But this time I unusually hadn’t got a carrier bag to put the goods into so went up to the counter and said, as I held the item up for him to see, “May I have a bag for this, please”. “Yes, of course”, he said “and to pay for that also?” “No”, I said, “I don’t have to pay for it. I got it out of that special place where you leave it for customers to help themselves. I paid for it ages ago, by credit card”. “No, no”, he said. “Yes, yes” I said. “Doesn’t work like that” they said. “You do need to pay for it at the time”. So pay I did “but” I added, “I’ve done this several times before and, it seems, never paid a penny”. Shock, horror. “Sorry, sorry, sorry” I said. “Never mind”, they said. “Don’t worry about it.
