Occupation Anatomist General surgeon Physician
Details Born at Dunfermline in 1857, he was educated at the University of Edinburgh, where he held a Grierson bursary, and afterwards at the London Hospital. As lecturer on anatomy at Surgeons Hall, Edinburgh he soon made a name for himself. It is said that he had an extraordinary power of imparting knowledge. Armed with a few coloured chalks and a blackboard he expounded the details of human anatomy with clearness and precision. He confined himself to the essentials and developed a method, which for examination purposes had no rival. Although his incisive style and powerful voice were often reminiscent of the drill-sergeant, he always held the attention of the students and his results, as proved at the examination table, were most successful. Coming to London he was appointed assistant surgeon to the Northwest London Hospital in 1896 and was physician to the Navy, Army and Royal Air Force Institute. He retired to Leamington in 1926 and became consulting physician to Leamington Spa. He married Caroline Helen Murray, second daughter of Adam Murray, alderman of Manchester. She died in 1928 without children. He died at Leamington on 28 November 1935 and was buried at St Mary's, Lillington, Leamington. Publications:- The femoral artery in apes. *J Anat*. 1881, 15, 523.

Occupation Anatomist Physician
Details Born on 3 March 1866, the son of the Rev John Box and his wife Sarah Bray. He was educated at Dulwich College, and started work in business in the City. Finding this uncongenial he entered St Thomas's Hospital medical school, where his student career was brilliant. He took honours in physiology in 1889, and in medicine and obstetric medicine at the London University graduation in 1892, having qualified through the Conjoint Board the previous year. Although he took the Fellowship of the College in 1893, he decided to practise as a physician, and took the London MD in the same year. He was appointed medical registrar at St Thomas's Hospital in 1894 and held the post for three years. He became resident assistant physician in 1897, and took the Membership of the College of Physicians. He was appointed an assistant physician in 1900 and elected FRCP in 1906. He was in charge of the children's department, became physician in 1915 and consulting physician on retirement in 1926. Throughout almost his whole connexion with the hospital he acted as demonstrator of morbid anatomy (till 1919), and carried out most of the post-mortem examinations. He was also chairman of the medical and surgical officers committee. In the medical school he was successively lecturer in medicine and applied anatomy, medical tutor and sub-dean. During the war of 1914-18 he served at the 5th London General Hospital with the rank of major, RAMC. He was also physician, and ultimately consulting physician, to the Royal Masonic Hospital, the London Fever Hospital, and the Willesden General Hospital. He examined in medicine for the Universities of London and Birmingham, for the English Conjoint Board and the Society of Apothecaries. At the Apothecaries he was long a member of the Court and might have been Master, had he not been living in Devonshire, during the war of 1939-45. At the Royal College of Physicians he was a councillor, and a Censor in 1930-31; he delivered the Lumleian lectures in 1933 on "Complications of the specific fevers". Box was a skilled diagnostician, and a practical and watchful physician. His attitude to innovations was somewhat cynical, but he had an encyclopaedic and precise knowledge of medical literature, which was put to good use in his few masterly publications. His writings on fevers were authoritative. He was an honorary member of the British Paediatric Association. Box practised at 2 Devonshire Place, and lived latterly at 1 Harley House, Regent's Park. He married in 1905 Marian Jane, daughter of George Thyer of Bridgwater, Somerset, who survived him. He died in St Thomas's Hospital on 3 April 1951, aged 84, and was cremated at Streatham Vale. A memorial service was held in the chapel of St Thomas's Hospital on 11 April. He left £1,000 to the Society of Apothecaries, and his residuary estate to St Thomas's Hospital to form the Box fund for helping students. Box's interests lay entirely in his practice and his pathological work. He had few relaxations, but enjoyed an annual holiday in the Channel Isles.

Occupation Anatomist General surgeon Physician
Details Born at Nottingham in December, 1816, and received his preliminary education in Doncaster. He was then apprenticed to Mr Carrick, of Kensington, and proceeded, after serving his time, to St George's Hospital, where he became Assistant and afterwards House Surgeon under Brodie and Keate. From St George's he went to Paris, and on his return settled in practice at Retford, and in 1848 migrated to Sheffield as a physician. He soon became attached to the School of Medicine there, and in 1854, with Drs Law and Elam, was elected Physician to the Dispensary. He laboured during four years, till 1858, to attach a hospital to this institution, and despite much opposition succeeded in doing so with the assistance of S Parker and others. Twenty-five beds were opened in 1858, and in 1872 this number had increased exactly fourfold. In 1858 he was presented with a handsome piece of plate in recognition of his untiring exertions on the hospital's behalf. He was Hon Secretary as well as Physician to the institution, his management was admirable and impressed his colleagues. Hall was one of the pioneers of improved conditions of labour. He studied the occupational diseases of Sheffield, and by protest and toil endeavoured to get them remedied. He wrote to *The Times*, contributed letterpress descriptions which accompanied the sketches of the Sheffield Halls in the *Illustrated London News*, and gave evidence before a Royal Commission on the special diseases of grinders and other workmen. *The Times* at last acknowledged his efforts in the following words: "Dr J C Hall, by his persistent efforts for years on behalf of these poor men, has at last forced the public to listen to him." Largely through his efforts, 'Hospital Sunday' was established in Sheffield, and at the time of his death he was a member of the Hospital Sunday Committee. He was of great service to Friendly Societies, particularly to the Oddfellows. He was President of the Yorkshire Branch of the British Medical Association in 1866-1867, and at its meeting at Sheffield when Vice-President of the Section of Medicine, read a paper on the "Sheffield Diseases of Occupations". He was a Member of the General Council of the Association, and in 1872-1873 was President of the Sheffield Medico-Chirurgical Society. He was an eloquent and pointed speaker, able to quote the poets admirably. Well read in the literature of his profession, he kept himself abreast of the progress of the day, was a skilful physician and a remarkably rapid and ardent worker. He died at his residence, Surrey House, Sheffield, on October 26th, 1876, and was buried in the General Cemetery. He had been two years a widower at the time of his death. By his marriage with Miss Orridge he left two sons and two daughters. At the time of his death, besides being Senior Physician to the Sheffield Public Hospital and Dispensary, he was Lecturer on the Practice of Physic at the Sheffield Medical School, having been previously Lecturer on Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology, and Botany. He was also Consulting Physician to the Midland Railway Company, and Medical Referee to a number of Assurance Societies.
