Sisir Kumar Mitra was born at Konnagar, a suburb of Calcutta, on 24 October 1890. He was the third son of Joy Krishna Mitra, a school teacher. His mother had been trained at the Campbell Medical School in Calcutta, a rare qualification in those days for an Indian woman. After passing her examination in 1892, she obtained a post in the Lady Dufferin Hospital at Bhagalpur and the family moved to that town, Mitra’s father taking a post as a clerk in the local municipal offices. S. K. Mitra first went to school in Bhagalpur and there showed a serious interest in scientific studies. A few years later his two elder brothers died and his father became paralysed, and he would have had to leave school, had it not been for the insistence of his mother, an outstanding woman, that he should continue his education while she supported the family on her earnings from the hospital. After leaving school he went to the T.N.J. College, Bhagalpur, and from there in 1908 to Presidency College, Calcutta, where in 1912 he headed the list of successful candidates for the M.Sc. degree in physics. The financial circumstances of the family then compelled him to find paid employment and he started as a lecturer in the T.N.J. College at Bhagalpur, and later transferred to the Christian College, Bankura. At this time the University of Calcutta was rapidly developing along western lines, particularly in science and technology, and in 1916 Mitra was invited to become a lecturer in the newly formed post-graduate department of physics. This appointment at the age of 26 marked the start of his scientific career.

Thomas Graham Brown was a neurophysiologist well known in the twenties for the detailed studies of reflex movement and posture which he made by Sherrington’s methods, and perhaps better known in the thirties as the redoubtable climber who had found several new routes to the summit of Mont Blanc. He was born in 1882 in Edinburgh. His father, Dr J. J. Graham Brown, was to be President of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh in 1912 and was related to several of the eminent doctors who had maintained the reputation of the Edinburgh Medical School throughout the nineteenth century. It was natural therefore that the son should be trained to medicine and should go to his father’s school, the Edinburgh Academy, and afterwards to the University as a medical student. There were four children in the family, Thomas, the eldest, a brother who became a Captain in the Royal Navy, one who became an architect and one sister. The two elder boys used sometimes to sail with their father in the yacht which he shared with a friend, and in Thomas the interest revived when he was too old for climbing but could still make long cruises in a small motor boat. When he was a schoolboy he was fond of swimming and diving, skating and golf, but there was a period when his eyesight was troublesome and he was sent to an oculist friend of his father in Wiesbaden to be treated and to learn German.

Thomas Neville George, later renowned as a Carboniferous stratigrapher and palaeontologist and also as a geomorphologist, was born in Morriston, Swansea, on 13 May 1904, being the elder of two children and the only son of Thomas Rupert George (1873-1933) and Elizabeth George (née Evans, 1875-1937). The family background on both sides was dominated by school teaching driven by a deep-seated moral belief in the ability of education to improve and enrich the lives of otherwise impoverished folk. His father, Thomas Rupert George, had attended the University College of Wales at Aberystwyth and originally came from Port Eynon. He became a school teacher and eventually headmaster in a Swansea school but much of his time was given to Socialist politics, particularly in organizing the local Trades and Labour Council, of which he was an honorary secretary. Neville’s mother, Elizabeth, was a school teacher from Swansea Training College and for a short time taught her son at his first primary school. She came from a chapel-going family, whereas his father did not, and Neville attended chapel sporadically until he was eight but not thereafter.

A Biochemical Society Focused Meeting on bacteriocins was held at the University of Nottingham on 16–18 July 2012 to mark the retirement of Professor Richard James and honour a scientific career of more than 30 years devoted to an understanding of the biology of colicins, bacteriocins produced by Escherichia coli. This meeting was the third leg of a triumvirate of symposia that included meetings at the Île de Bendor, France, in 1991 and the University of East Anglia, Norwich, U.K., in 1998, focused on bringing together leading experts in basic and applied bacteriocin research. The symposium which attracted 70 attendees consisted of 18 invited speakers and 22 selected oral communications spread over four themes: (i) Role of bacteriocins in bacterial ecology, (ii) Mode of action of bacteriocins, (ii) Mechanisms of bacteriocin import across the cell envelope, and (iv) Biotechnological and biomedical applications of bacteriocins. Speakers and poster presenters travelled from around the world, including the U.S.A., Japan, Asia and Europe, to showcase the latest developments in their scientific research.

David Smyth was a leading authority on intestinal absorption. He will be remembered too for his book Alternatives to animal experiments (216). David left us the following note on his background and early life: ‘I was born on 9 February 1908 at 25 Seymour St, Lisburn, Co. Antrim. My father was Joseph Smyth whose family were farmers in Co. Cavan. He was the only one of the family who did not stay on the farm. He became a school teacher and was trained in the old Kildare Street Training College in Dublin. His first post was in Co. Cavan. Later he taught possibly in Belfast, then in Drum beg, and a few years before I was born went to be Headmaster of the Nicholson Memorial National School in Lisburn. He was obviously a man of some drive and energy, for he had a B.A. from the Royal University of Ireland and an external B.Sc. from the University of London. The practical examinations for the latter had to be taken at South Kensington, and for this purpose he had one day’s leave—travelling to London by night on the old Greenore-Holyhead route and returning the next night. He had a good library of arts and science books, and one about Karl Marx which was not popular reading in his youth. He was born in 1874. He was a man of great energy for he kept all the Church accounts for many years and was the founder and guiding spirit and general secretary of the U.T.U. (Ulster Teachers Union). Previously he had been in the I.N.T.O. (Irish National Teachers’ Organization), and the U.T.U. was founded after the division of Ireland.

To chemists, biochemists and physiologists, H. S. Raper is known for his pioneer work on the metabolism of fat and the formation of melanin, and to them, and his intimate friends, his sudden death has left a gap which will endure. In his later years, and with the development of his career, the management of academic affairs robbed him of the time which he would have preferred to have given to the laboratory. As a recompense, however, the circle of his friendships and acquaintances extended, and he became widely known and revered and greatly esteemed for his gentle, kindly nature, the wisdom of his judgment, and the careful, considered soundness of his counsel and advice, which he willingly gave to the individual and to the wider gathering of his colleagues who sat with him on committees, or joined with him in his endeavours for the medical school, and the university, he loved and served so long and so well. Family and early history Henry Stanley Raper was born on 5 March 1882, in Bradford, in Yorkshire. There were, in all, nine children in the family, of whom seven survived —two daughters and five sons. Henry Stanley was the eighth child and the youngest son. He was survived by one brother and one sister. He was the son of James Rhodes Raper and Sarah Ann Tankard. J. R. Raper was a well-known and much-revered figure in the business life of the West Riding of Yorkshire. He was first cashier, and later, he and his elder sons came to manage, and then to own, a large business house in the West Riding. When J. R. Raper retired he went to live in Grassington in the upper reaches of his beloved Wharfedale, and became an authority on the flora of the district. Here in Wharfedale, for many years, the Raper boys spent much time and came to know the adjoining moors and dales. The youngest son, Henry Stanley, although the only one of this large family to make as his calling the pursuit of natural knowledge and research, was very like physically, and had many of the characteristics of, his much esteemed and beloved father.

Bertram Dillon Steele was born on May 30, 1870, at Plymouth, where he spent his boyhood and attended the Grammar School. It was a tradition in the family that they were the descendants of a member of the outlawed Macgregor clan who, early in the 17th century, had taken the name of Steele and migrated southwards. Be that as it may, several members of the family had attained professional success in the Church, the Law or the Army, and Bertram was the third of his race to achieve the position of a University professor. Emigrating as a youth to Australia, he at first studied Pharmacy, intending to take it up as a business; but in his first year as a student in the University of Melbourne he found that his true bent was for Science and especially for Chemistry.

The Relationship

A course in the medical school curriculum has been described. We have pointed out the integration with the basic sciences, growth and development and preventive medicine, and we have emphasized the relationship of the psychologic, economic and sociologic aspects of the patient's environment to disease. The principle of self-education is emphasized throughout the four-year experience of the student. The close guidance of the student is provided by the active participation of the faculty of the School of Medicine and many additional people in the University and community. The experiences of the student in the first two years of the course have been reviewed in an attempt to evaluate their achievements. The total curriculum time of the Family Medicine Course for the four years is 116 hours. This represents approximately 23½% of the total curriculum time of the Medical School.

Samuel Smiles, Emeritus Professor of Chemistry in the University of London, died at Tunbridge Wells on 6 May 1953. He was born in Belfast on 17 July 1877, an only son but with one sister. His father, also named Samuel, partner in the firm of Appleton, Machin and Smiles, tea dealers, had married Miss S. A. Pennington, an Australian- born lady who came of an English farming family. His grandfather was the well-known Samuel Smiles, author of Self help, Lives of the engineers , and many other works, who had begun life by studying medicine at Edinburgh and Leiden, and many years later was made an honorary LL.D. of his original University. Other members of the family were his uncle, William Smiles, who was manager of the Belfast Ropeworks; his first cousin, Sir Walter Smiles, M.P. for County Down, Northern Ireland, who was one of those who lost their lives in the wreck of the Princess Victoria off the Irish Coast in the storm of 31 January 1953; and a first cousin once removed, D. R. Hartree, now Professor of Mathematical Physics in the University of Cambridge. The family moved to London (Blackheath) in 1880 and it was there that Smiles spent a most happy boyhood and youth in the stimulating atmosphere provided by affectionate and sympathetic parents. He was considered to be a rather delicate and backward child; he was left-handed and inclined to stammer, but in fact he had no serious illness and later on he enjoyed games and played cricket and hockey for his House. He entered Marlborough on the Modern Side in 1890, having already at a preparatory school begun to learn German and to take an interest in natural history. In his last years at school his interest in chemistry was aroused by the teaching of R. G. Durrant, and he became anxious to take up a scientific career. It might have been expected that the young Smiles would enter the family business, but his father gave him every encouragement to take up scientific work when he realized that his son was not temperamentally suited to a business life.
