Special Circumstances

If, gentlemen, History be correctly defined as Philosophy teaching by examples, I do not know that I could take any subject for my Address more profitable or fitting than the Progress of Psychological Medicine during the forty years which, expiring to-day, mark the life of the Association over which I have, thanks to your suffrages, the honour to preside this year—an honour enhanced by the special circumstances attending the period at which we assemble, arising out of the meeting of the International Medical Congress in this Metropolis. To it I would accord a hearty welcome, speaking on behalf of this Association, which numbers amongst its honorary members so many distinguished alienists, American and European. Bounded by the limits of our four seas, we are in danger of overlooking the merits of those who live and work beyond them. I recall the observation of Arnold of Rugby, that if we were not a very active people, our disunion from the Continent would make us nearly as bad as the Chinese. “Foreigners say,” he goes on to remark, “that our insular situation cramps and narrows our minds. And this is not mere nonsense either. What is wanted is a deep knowledge of, and sympathy with, the European character and institutions, and then there would be a hope that we might each impart to the other that in which we are superior.”

Born on 10 September 1859, John Norman Collie was the second son of John Collie and the grandson of George Collie, an Aberdeen merchant, whose ancestors came from Ireland in the days of Cromwell. George Collie married Margaret Roy, the daughter of Captain Roy McGregor. George Collie’s brother was a surgeon in the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic wars. He served on the warships which annexed Western Australia. He discovered the Collie river, and the town of Collie, also named after him, celebrated its centenary in 1935 when the Premier of Western Australia unveiled a statue to him. Dr Collie wrote to his brother George a number of letters in which he described his experiences in Western Australia, and these letters, as the result of negotiations by Professor N. T. M. Wilsmore, himself a native of Perth, W. A.,and a student and later a lecturer at University College, London, are now in the archives of the cities of Perth and Canberra. John Collie married Selina Mary, the third daughter of Henry Winkworth, the son of the Rev. Henry Winkworth who was the vicar of St Saviour’s, Southwark. Henry Winkwrorth married Miss Dickenson of Kentish origin and had by her four daughters, Catherine, Susanna, Selina Mary and Alice, and two sons. Catherine was the author of Lyra Germanica , and Susanna wrote a life of Catherine. Susanna worked for many years in Clifton and Bristol on the provision of model dwellings for workpeople and was in fact one of the pioneers in this field. John Collie and his wife had four sons, the two eldest being Henry and John Norman, and one daughter, Susan Margaret, who was their third child and for many years Head of the Bedford High School for Girls. The foregoing epitome of John Norman’s ancestry is of considerable interest. On the one side he had Highland blood in him and from the other he inherited the Winkworth personality which revealed itself in so many members of that family. To this may be attributed the outstanding personality with which he was unquestionably endowed.

Great Association

Gentlemen,—My first duty, which is also a pleasure, is that of thanking you, as I do most warmly, for the honour you have conferred upon me in electing me to preside for a season over this great Association, a position which may well be called the blue ribbon of our department of medicine, rendered illustrious as it is by the names of great men who have held the office in the past. My only regret has been that in accepting it I replace one whom we should all gladly have seen in this chair, one whose enforced retirement cannot be alluded to without a feeling of loss, though we rejoice that his health is so far restored as to enable him to be amongst us to-day. For the rest, I am happy to echo the sentiment expressed by Dr. Macpherson a year ago, and to welcome my election as a token that the interests, aims and aspirations of the departments which preside over the lunacy administration of these countries are recognised as identical with those of all the other members of this Association—that, in fact, we all form one great body, united by devotion to as lofty an object as can animate the members of any merely human society.

The Annual Meeting of the MPA in 1881 was held at University College, London; it coincided with an International Congress of Medicine and so there were an exceptional number of foreign visitors. A group photograph of members and visitors was reproduced in the Journal for June 1978 (132, facing p. 530).

Maurice Hill was born in Cambridge on 29 May 1919. His father was A. V. Hill, the distinguished physiologist, who was at that time a Fellow of King’s College, Cambridge. In 1913, A. V. Hill married Margaret Keynes, the sister of Maynard Keynes, the economist, and of Geoffrey Keynes, the surgeon and author of erudite bibliographies of William Harvey, John Donne and others. Margaret’s father was J. N. Keynes (1852-1949), Registrary to the University, a Fellow of Pembroke College until his marriage, and the author of a well-known book on statistics. His wife Florence Ada Keynes ( née Brown), who was one of the earliest students of Newnham College, was Mayor of Cambridge in 1932 and published two books, one when she was 86 and the other three years later. Maurice was the youngest of a family of four children, having one brother and two sisters. Shortly after Maurice’s birth, the family moved to Manchester where A. V. Hill became Professor of Physiology and received a Nobel Prize. In 1923 they moved to Highgate when A. V. Hill became Professor of Physiology at University College London. At the age of six Maurice went to Byron House School. His school reports have been preserved; they give a picture of an intelligent little boy with an ‘open, happy nature’, interested in many things but finding neatness in writing hard to attain. In 1928 he went to Highgate Junior School where he stayed for almost three years. His performance and reports were undistinguished and he was sent for a year and a half to Avondale, a boarding school at Clifton, near Bristol. Here his work at once improved and he was consistently near the top of his class. In 1932 he returned to Highgate and started in the Senior School as a day boy. He remained there till 1938. From the start he found an interest in physics and mathematics.

Text I (Vergil). Found by Petrie at Hawara eighty years ago, P(apyrus) Hawara 24 is now in the collection at University College, London. It has writing on both sides. On one side is a line of Latin verse repeated over and over; on the other side is other Latin, also repeated over and over. The first editor, A. H. Sayce, whose publication was merely two lines in a check-list, recognized, however, that the line on one side is Vergil, Aeneid 2, 601:Text I Non tibi Tyndaridis facies [invisa Lacaenae]The last two words are torn away and are wholly missing, but all of the rest is plain. Certainly both sides were written for practice. Scholars commonly felt that exercises of this sort have little interest, and so the papyrus had received only a few mentions (bibliography with complete references infra).

Originating as a seminar series at the Institute of Archaeology at the University College, London organized by the editors in 2007, and refined at the annual meeting of the Theoretical Archaeology Group in York in December of that same year, this volume represents the printed culmination of a continuation of that dialogue.
