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 HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets,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.

  • Trinity Medicine: 1711-2011
    TRINITY MEDICINE POISED FOR FURTHER SUCCESS For centuries, the Trinity College Dublin School of Medicine has contributed to medical education, research and practice not just in Ireland but at a global level. Eminent physicians such as William Stokes and Robert Graves not only wrote the textbooks used in medical education around the world but were the clinical researchers of their day, identifying and describing the conditions that to this day bear their names. These were the medical leaders of their time and we intend to preserve their legacy by educating and preparing exceptional doctors who can lead the profession in the 21st century. Furthermore, it is our responsibility will help improve and save the lives of academics to help us leverage the to ensure that excellence in medical many.

  • A Glance at Anatomy from 1705 to 1909.1
    A Glance at Anatomy 405 A GLANCE AT ANATOMY FROM 1705 TO 1909.1 An Introductory Address. By ARTHUR ROBINSON, M.D., Professor of Anatomy in the University. Gentlemen,?The custom of our University, in accordance with which each newly-appointed Professor is expected to deliver an introductory lecture, is not likely to be objected to by the individual himself, for it possesses the obvious advantage of allowing him to present to his first audience something other than a purely scientific or technical exposition of his own special subject. The custom allows him unlimited choice, but he is perhaps well advised if he selects a topic, the consideration of which may possibly provide useful suggestions for the future work of his own department. You will admit, I think, that I stand to-day in a grave and anxious position. I am placed, as it were, at the end of a road, hewn out of circumstances by my illustrious predecessors, and emblazoned by the records of their achievements, and I have to attempt, with your assistance, to carry that road onward into an unknown future, in which both you and I will be held responsible for the work we have done. An onerous task is before us?one which cannot be accom- plished by haphazard work, one which requires concentration of energy toward a definite object. We have to depide what that object shall be. Before making the choice we cannot do better than examine the records of the " past, for although Bolingbroke's assertion that history is philo- " sophy, teaching by examples may be open to dispute, nevertheless the results of past actions considered in association with the time and circumstances of the occurrence of the actions frequently point the way through the present into the future.
