<td>W. A. Haswell<ref>William Haswell was appointed Demonstrator in Histology and was variously Demonstrator and Lecturer in Biology from 1882 to 1888 and became Challis Professor of Biology in 1890. He was involved in teaching medical students Biology but, in addition, taught Histology under Anderson Stuart up to and including 1886.<br>Separate chairs in Anatomy and Physiology established 1890; Thomas Anderson Stuart retained Physiology and J. T. Wilson became the first (Challis) Professor of Anatomy. Chair in Histology and Embryology established in 1928, C. W. Stump foundation (Bosch) Professor. Before 1898, Anderson Stuart himself may have taught Histology, but after 1898 this teaching seems to have been done by Herbert Hawker, H. G. Chapman and J. R. Dixon. Histology remained part of the responsibility of the Department of Physiology until 1922 after which it passed to Anatomy until the creation of the Department of Histology and Embryology in 1956.</ref></td>

[[category:Hospitals]]
<b><i>J. Dowsett</i></b>

The Westmead Centre of the Parramatta Hospitals is the most recent addition to the teaching hospitals of the University of Sydney. It is the first hospital to be built as a teaching hospital in New South Wales since Prince Alfred Hospital almost a century ago. The University has been closely associated with the planning and development of the hospital, with the late Professors John Read and Sir John Loewenthal playing important roles, and is well represented on the Hospital Board.

The Hospital, which opened in November 1978, is one of the largest medical centres in Australia. It provides clinical schools for both medical and dental students. The West Metropolitan Group School of Nursing is also based at Westmead and, in addition, the Centre provides clinical training for students from the Cumberland College of Health Sciences.

The Westmead Centre complex serves the Western Metropolitan Health Region of Sydney, which has a population of 1.3 million. The Centre provides a comprehensive health care service to this large and fast-growing area: general medicine and surgery and related specialties; obstetrics and gynaecology; paediatrics; special baby care; intensive care; acute psychiatry. It also has a unit for emotionally disturbed children and adolescents. Westmead functions not only as a district hospital, but also as a major referral centre for the region, with a full range of diagnostic and therapeutic services, including a large radiotherapy department. In addition there are accident and emergency services, full outpatient facilities, and a geriatric unit providing both inpatient and day care. The Dental clinical school — a large dental unit providing general and specialist dental health care — takes both undergraduate and postgraduate students from the Faculty of Dentistry. The Parramatta Centre (formerly the Parramatta Hospital), which is situated nearby, provides facilities for rehabilitation and for patients requiring longer periods of care.

Professors of Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Paediatrics, and Geriatric and Community Medicine based at the Westmead Centre have been appointed, together with Senior Lecturers in each of these disciplines. The Director of Dental Services of the Hospital is also Professor of Dentistry. In addition, there is a large number of part-time clinical Lecturers based at the Centre. The Senate has conferred the title of Clinical Professor on the Directors of Radiotherapy, of the Institute of Clinical Pathology and Medical Research, and of Psychiatry at the Hospital.

The New South Wales Institute of Clinical Pathology and Medical Research was relocated from its former site at Lidcombe Hospital and has been re-established as part of the Westmead Centre complex providing pathology services to the Hospital as well as continuing its services to New South Wales and beyond. The transfer of the library of the N.S.W. Branch of the Australian Medical Association to become the nucleus for the Westmead Centre-A.M.A. Library has formed the basis for a comprehensive library in the health sciences.

A wide range of clinically based research projects is in progress, embracing laboratory research, experimental surgery and community-based problems. A modern audio-visual department provides a back-up for extensive undergraduate and postgraduate teaching programmes as well as for the education of patients and for health promotion. By the end of 1983 the full complement of 1,100 beds will have been commissioned.

Royal Prince Alfred Hospital

2008-05-19T04:15:06Z

<b><i>D. Child</i></b>

The first action to establish the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital1 took place on 20 March 1868, when a public meeting which took place in the Exchange Building on the corner of Pitt and Bridge Streets passed the following two resolutions:

'That this meeting regards with the deepest interest the steady progress of His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh toward recovery from the dangerous wound inflicted by an assassin during his sojourn in Sydney, and determines that a substantial and permanent monument shall be erected in commemoration of the heartfelt gratitude of the inhabitants of New South Wales, for the preservation of His Royal Highness.'

'That this meeting is of the opinion that the form of memorial most appropriate to the object in view, and best calculated to represent the feelings of the community, will be a hospital for the relief of the sick and the maimed, possessing all modern appliances necessary for the effective treatment of disease and comfort of the inmates, including a ward for convalescents until suitable accommodation is provided for such.'

A committee was formed to give effect to these resolutions and, following a somewhat protracted period involving complex negotiations and sometimes controversial argument much of which has its parallel in modern times, a site of approximately eleven acres was selected within the boundaries of land set aside for the purposes of the University of Sydney. Building commenced in 1876 and the Hospital then comprising 146 beds was opened for the reception of patients on 25 September 1882.

Almost from the beginning it was envisaged the Hospital would be a teaching hospital. On 10 July 1871 the Registrar of the University wrote to the Committee informing it of the following resolution of the Senate:

'That the hospital shall be of a general character, and that it shall be open to the University to establish a medical school in connection with the hospital, and that all plans, elevations and designs for the buildings and for laying out the grounds in connection therewith shall be submitted for the approval of the Senate, and that proper provision shall be made for the sewerage of the hospital.'

The Committee readily accepted this offer.

Since 1882 the Hospital has grown from its original 146 beds and eleven acres to a complex of almost 1,200 beds and eighteen hectares (forty-four acres). It serves not only as a teaching hospital but as a major referral centre and a community hospital. Thus it more than adequately carries out its main functions as established in its statement of objectives:

a) To establish and maintain hospital facilities in accordance with the provisions of the Prince Alfred Hospital Act 1902 and the Public Hospitals Act No. 8 of 1929 as amended.

b) To provide and promote the provision of health care on a comprehensive basis to the community surrounding the Hospital.

c) To provide for specialised medical and surgical care on a regional basis within regions as determined by the Health Commission of New South Wales.

d) To provide for specialised medical and surgical care for all patients referred to it from within the State of New South Wales and beyond in fields of special expertise.

e) To function as a teaching hospital in conjunction with the University of Sydney.

f) In conjunction with the University of Sydney to provide for undergraduate teaching in Medicine for students of the University of Sydney.

g) To promote close co-operation with the University of Sydney and to evolve common medical staffing patterns.

h) To provide for teaching in the discipline of nursing and other disciplines, in conjunction with universities and other tertiary education institutions where appropriate.

i) To provide for postgraduate education in medicine and other disciplines, in conjunction with universities and other tertiary education institutions where appropriate.

j) To promote and undertake research in medicine and related fields.

k) To co-operate with other hospitals in providing and improving medical services to the community and in assisting in the achievement of the above objects.

The three men who have been most responsible for the Hospital's development were Sir Alfred Roberts, Sir Thomas Anderson Stuart and Sir Herbert Schlink.

Sir Alfred Roberts was a member of the original committee and was elected as its joint Honorary Secretary. He remained as Honorary Secretary until 1897. He was greatly involved in the detailed planning of the original building and it was said of him that not even a nail could be driven without his authority.

Sir Thomas Anderson Stuart was not only the founder of the Medical School of the University of Sydney, but a member of the Board since his appointment to the University in 1883. He found time by 1901 to accept the Office of Chairman of the Board, a position which he held until 1920. By that time the association between the University and the Hospital had been firmly established.

Sir Herbert Schlink was a member of the Board of Directors from 1925 to 1962 and its Chairman from 1934 to 1962. He presided over the period of the Hospital's expansion and ensured that the Hospital retained its leadership role.

One of the most notable of the developments which occurred under Schlink's Chairmanship of the Board was the building of the King George V Memorial Hospital for Mothers and Babies, a teaching hospital for obstetrics and gynaecology. As long ago as 1909 the Board of Directors planned to use part of the newly completed Victoria Pavilion for midwifery cases needing surgical attention. This was not done, and thus occurred the anomaly of a University Teaching Hospital without obstetric beds for the nearby University's Professor of Obstetrics to use in teaching. A strong case for the building of an obstetric hospital was prepared in 1935, and arguments were marshalled. Despite some opposition, funds were raised and the building was successfully completed in 1941. It is of interest to note that it had cost £310,000, i.e. £8,000 below the estimates, and it was equipped for £45,000 — a sum raised by the Ladies' Auxiliary. Since its completion, it has served as an obstetric teaching hospital for the Faculty.

Since the earliest days when the Hospital opened its doors to the small group of medical students who started in the new School when it opened a century ago, Prince Alfred has continued to play a central role in the clinical training of undergraduates. In this, the centenary year, the Hospital will be taking eighty-six third-year students for clinical instruction.

The links with the Medical School remain strong to the mutual benefit of both. It is a relationship that many visitors from other countries find difficult to comprehend, based as it is on close co-operation and joint appointments. In the mid nineteen-fifties there were three full-time clinical Professors attached to the Hospital. Today there are fourteen. The future of the Hospital depends upon this close integration of University staff and Hospital full-time and visiting staff. There is no reason to believe that the future is not bright.

1The original name of the Hospital had simply been the Prince Alfred Hospital although it had enjoyed royal patronage from the time of its foundation. The Hospital was incorporated by Act of Parliament in 1902 and was granted use of the appellation 'Royal' by King Edward VII on 8 January 1903 (J.A.Y.).

Arthur Edward Mills was born on 13 February 1865, at Mudgee, the son of a local official who acted as mining agent in the district during the Mudgee-Gulgong gold rush. During his childhood he fell under the influence of the local school master, Robert Hinder, an older brother of Henry V. Critchley Hinder. Robert Hinder influenced Arthur Mills to become a school teacher and he was duly licensed at the age of sixteen to teach in small schools. He taught first in Beryl and then in Wyaldra, but he was unhappy as a school teacher — it is said because he found it difficult to impose adequate discipline. Consequently he resigned his position in January 1883. Nevertheless the desire to succeed as a teacher seems to have persisted. Robert Hinder, later to become well known as the Headmaster of Maitland High School, North Sydney Boys' High School and Sydney Boys' High School, married Arthur's only sister and moved to Sydney, encouraging Arthur to visit him there. Mills, who in the meantime had demonstrated his academic talent and scholarly temperament by teaching himself Greek, came to Sydney and, inspired by the example of Hinder's brother, matriculated to the University and enrolled in Medicine. He completed the common first year in 1884, enrolled in Medicine II in 1885 and graduated in minimum time with Second-Class Honours in 1889. His undergraduate career was extremely good and he achieved honours in ten subjects, classics, mathematics, chemistry, botany, anatomy, physiology, pathology, medicine, surgery and midwifery.

In 1889 he was one of the first four Sydney graduates to be appointed to the resident staff of Prince Alfred Hospital where he remained for about eighteen months. He had already been strongly influenced by J T Wilson, the anatomist, and when Wilson became Professor of Anatomy in 1890, Mills accepted an appointment for twelve months as Demonstrator in Anatomy, and for one term (Lent Term, 1891) as Demonstrator in Physiology, thus becoming the first Sydney graduate to be appointed to the staff of the Medical School. He married Ida Cecilia Archibald in late 1890 and, being quite impoverished, was obliged to seek a living in private practice. He worked first at Picton (1892–1893) and then for fourteen years (1894–1909) at Strathfield, before setting up as a consultant physician in Macquarie Street in 1910. During this period he resumed his connections with the University by acting as an Examiner in Anatomy (from 1894) and served as a Demonstrator once more in 1897–1898.

In 1899 he became an Honorary Assistant Physician at the Prince Alfred Hospital and in 1901 became the University Lecturer in Diseases of Children, the aspect of clinical medicine of greatest interest to him. He was the honorary medical officer of the Infants' Home in Ashfield for thirty-five years, and greatly lowered infant mortality by implementing a Truby King style feeding schedule to counter gastro-enteritis.<ref>Blackburn, C. R. B. <i>Mills, Arthur Edward</i> (1865-1940) Australian Dictionary of Biography Online,
http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/A100504b.htm?hilite=mills%3Ba%3Be, accessed February, 2008.</ref>

In 1910 he succeeded Dr W. Camac Wilkinson as University Lecturer in the Principles and Practice of Medicine, a not altogether popular appointment with the students who initially disliked his lecturing style.

During World War One Mills was appointed a major in the Australian Imperial Force in 1915, working in London at the administrative headquarters, and in Harefield at the No.1 Australian Auxiliary Hospital.<ref>Blackburn, C. R. B. <i>Mills, Arthur Edward</i> (1865-1940) Australian Dictionary of Biography Online,
http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/A100504b.htm?hilite=mills%3Ba%3Be, accessed February, 2008.</ref>

In 1920 he was appointed Professor of the Principles and Practices of Medicine, the first clinical appointment at professorial level made by the University. The conditions of appointment permitted him to retain his Hospital posts and his consultant practice but the salary, the same as that of other University Professors, made it possible for him to spend a great deal of his time in teaching. Late in the same year, when Wilson, who had succeeded Anderson Stuart as Dean, resigned to go to Cambridge, Mills succeeded him as Dean.

As a teacher, Mills was unique. He achieved a notable reputation both for his lectures and for his bedside teaching. 'Artie' became very well-liked and carried a blackboard and chalk with him about the wards. The <i>Senior Year Book</i> for 1922 records a man "unconventional and original, he stands out upon the floor of the lecture room as if he were an actor before his audience. Illustrating his 'meditations upon the cause of things' by gesture and clever mimicry, by quaint humour, wholesale quotations and original phrases, he drives home his points with inimitable emphasis. The lesson of observation and enquiry is what he aims above all else to teach us…"<ref><i>Senior Year Book</i>, (1922) University of Sydney Medical School, Sydney, p. 11.</ref> However, Mills's style of teaching, too, was seen as greatly different from his predecessor's. He is reported in the <i>Senior Year Book</i> for 1924 as constantly asking the students 'why', as constantly questioning the accepted methods of treatment or approach to a particular problem or disease, and as trying to look behind the symptoms in order to establish their cause. In his early days of teaching, this had led to some acrimony between himself and students who had been used to coherent, easily encompassed expositions of causes, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment. Mills's system of working backwards from the symptoms to the cause, or possible causes, was in those early days ahead of its time; by 1924 it would appear to have become an acceptable, even if still at times a rather intimidating approach.In personality, too, Mills appears to have been far removed from Anderson Stuart. He had a rather more volatile character, with a sense of humour and a keen wit, but with the ability to be strict and even caustic toward students who failed to supply adequate answers to his many questions. Students recorded that "…Professor Mills believes that it is the duty of the lecturer to be interesting, and not the duty of the audience to be interested. The measure of his success is the number of people who turn up at the unholy hour of half-past eight in the morning, and, by the experience of those who turn up on the stroke of time to his optional lectures at RPAH, and who have difficulty in finding a seat (those who arrive late have to sit on the floor). Arty's way of keeping order is as original as his teaching method. The 'gentlemen in the back row' are not asked to leave the room, but the turbulent spirits are put to shame by having aspersions cast on the power of their higher nervous centres. The success of this plan makes one imagine what a success Arty would be as a political speaker.

Contemporary accounts show him to have been held in affection rather than awe and he seems to have swayed others as much by reasoned argument as by force of personality or will.

Arthur Edward Mills was born on 13 February 1865, at Mudgee, the son of a local official who acted as mining agent in the district during the Mudgee-Gulgong gold rush. During his childhood he fell under the influence of the local school master, Robert Hinder, an older brother of Henry V. Critchley Hinder. Robert Hinder influenced Arthur Mills to become a school teacher and he was duly licensed at the age of sixteen to teach in small schools. He taught first in Beryl and then in Wyaldra, but he was unhappy as a school teacher — it is said because he found it difficult to impose adequate discipline. Consequently he resigned his position in January 1883. Nevertheless the desire to succeed as a teacher seems to have persisted. Robert Hinder, later to become well known as the Headmaster of Maitland High School, North Sydney Boys’ High School and Sydney Boys’ High School, married Arthur’s only sister and moved to Sydney, encouraging Arthur to visit him there. Mills, who in the meantime had demonstrated his academic talent and scholarly temperament by teaching himself Greek, came to Sydney and, inspired by the example of Hinder’s brother, matriculated to the University and enrolled in Medicine. He completed the common first year in 1884, enrolled in Medicine II in 1885 and graduated in minimum time with Second-Class Honours in 1889. His undergraduate career was extremely good and he achieved honours in ten subjects, classics, mathematics, chemistry, botany, anatomy, physiology, pathology, medicine, surgery and midwifery.

In 1889 he was one of the first four Sydney graduates to be appointed to the resident staff of Prince Alfred Hospital where he remained for about eighteen months. He had already been strongly influenced by J T Wilson, the anatomist, and when Wilson became Professor of Anatomy in 1890, Mills accepted an appointment for twelve months as Demonstrator in Anatomy, and for one term (Lent Term, 1891) as Demonstrator in Physiology, thus becoming the first Sydney graduate to be appointed to the staff of the Medical School. He married Ida Cecilia Archibald in late 1890 and, being quite impoverished, was obliged to seek a living in private practice. He worked first at Picton (1892–1893) and then for fourteen years (1894–1909) at Strathfield, before setting up as a consultant physician in Macquarie Street in 1910. During this period he resumed his connections with the University by acting as an Examiner in Anatomy (from 1894) and served as a Demonstrator once more in 1897–1898.

In 1899 he became an Honorary Assistant Physician at the Prince Alfred Hospital and in 1901 became the University Lecturer in Diseases of Children, the aspect of clinical medicine of greatest interest to him. He was the honorary medical officer of the Infants’ Home in Ashfield for thirty-five years, and greatly lowered infant mortality by implementing a Truby King style feeding schedule to counter gastro-enteritis.<ref>Blackburn, C. R. B. <i>Mills, Arthur Edward</i> (1865-1940) Australian Dictionary of Biography Online,
http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/A100504b.htm?hilite=mills%3Ba%3Be, accessed February, 2008.</ref>

In 1910 he succeeded Dr W. Camac Wilkinson as University Lecturer in the Principles and Practice of Medicine, a not altogether popular appointment with the students who initially disliked his lecturing style.

During World War One Mills was appointed a major in the Australian Imperial Force in 1915, working in London at the administrative headquarters, and in Harefield at the No.1 Australian Auxiliary Hospital.<ref>Blackburn, C. R. B. <i>Mills, Arthur Edward</i> (1865-1940) Australian Dictionary of Biography Online,
http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/A100504b.htm?hilite=mills%3Ba%3Be, accessed February, 2008.</ref>

In 1920 he was appointed Professor of the Principles and Practices of Medicine, the first clinical appointment at professorial level made by the University. The conditions of appointment permitted him to retain his Hospital posts and his consultant practice but the salary, the same as that of other University Professors, made it possible for him to spend a great deal of his time in teaching. Late in the same year, when Wilson, who had succeeded Anderson Stuart as Dean, resigned to go to Cambridge, Mills succeeded him as Dean.

As a teacher, Mills was unique. He achieved a notable reputation both for his lectures and for his bedside teaching. ‘Artie’ became very well-liked and carried a blackboard and chalk with him about the wards. The <i>Senior Year Book</i> for 1922 records a man “unconventional and original, he stands out upon the floor of the lecture room as if he were an actor before his audience. Illustrating his ‘meditations upon the cause of things’ by gesture and clever mimicry, by quaint humour, wholesale quotations and original phrases, he drives home his points with inimitable emphasis. The lesson of observation and enquiry is what he aims above all else to teach us…”<ref><i>Senior Year Book</i>, (1922) University of Sydney Medical School, Sydney, p. 11.</ref> However, Mills’s style of teaching, too, was seen as greatly different from his predecessor’s. He is reported in the <i>Senior Year Book</i> for 1924 as constantly asking the students ‘why’, as constantly questioning the accepted methods of treatment or approach to a particular problem or disease, and as trying to look behind the symptoms in order to establish their cause. In his early days of teaching, this had led to some acrimony between himself and students who had been used to coherent, easily encompassed expositions of causes, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment. Mills’s system of working backwards from the symptoms to the cause, or possible causes, was in those early days ahead of its time; by 1924 it would appear to have become an acceptable, even if still at times a rather intimidating approach.In personality, too, Mills appears to have been far removed from Anderson Stuart. He had a rather more volatile character, with a sense of humour and a keen wit, but with the ability to be strict and even caustic toward students who failed to supply adequate answers to his many questions. Students recorded that “…Professor Mills believes that it is the duty of the lecturer to be interesting, and not the duty of the audience to be interested. The measure of his success is the number of people who turn up at the unholy hour of half-past eight in the morning, and, by the experience of those who turn up on the stroke of time to his optional lectures at RPAH, and who have difficulty in finding a seat (those who arrive late have to sit on the floor).

Robert Hinder, later to become well known as the Headmaster of Maitland High School, North Sydney Boys’ High School and Sydney Boys’ High School, married Arthur’s only sister and moved to Sydney, encouraging Arthur to visit him there. Mills, who in the meantime had demonstrated his academic talent and scholarly temperament by teaching himself Greek, came to Sydney and, inspired by the example of Hinder’s brother, matriculated to the University and enrolled in Medicine. He completed the common first year in 1884, enrolled in Medicine II in 1885 and graduated in minimum time with Second-Class Honours in 1889. His undergraduate career was extremely good and he achieved honours in ten subjects, classics, mathematics, chemistry, botany, anatomy, physiology, pathology, medicine, surgery and midwifery.In 1889 he was one of the first four Sydney graduates to be appointed to the resident staff of Prince Alfred Hospital where he remained for about eighteen months. He had already been strongly influenced by J T Wilson, the anatomist, and when Wilson became Professor of Anatomy in 1890, Mills accepted an appointment for twelve months as Demonstrator in Anatomy, and for one term (Lent Term, 1891) as Demonstrator in Physiology, thus becoming the first Sydney graduate to be appointed to the staff of the Medical School. He married Ida Cecilia Archibald in late 1890 and, being quite impoverished, was obliged to seek a living in private practice. He worked first at Picton (1892–1893) and then for fourteen years (1894–1909) at Strathfield, before setting up as a consultant physician in Macquarie Street in 1910. During this period he resumed his connections with the University by acting as an Examiner in Anatomy (from 1894) and served as a Demonstrator once more in 1897–1898.In 1899 he became an Honorary Assistant Physician at the Prince Alfred Hospital and in 1901 became the University Lecturer in Diseases of Children, the aspect of clinical medicine of greatest interest to him. He was the honorary medical officer of the Infants’ Home in Ashfield for thirty-five years, and greatly lowered infant mortality by implementing a Truby King style feeding schedule to counter gastro-enteritis. In 1910 he succeeded Dr W. Camac Wilkinson as University Lecturer in the Principles and Practice of Medicine, a not altogether popular appointment with the students who initially disliked his lecturing style. During World War One Mills was appointed a major in the Australian Imperial Force in 1915, working in London at the administrative headquarters, and in Harefield at the No.1 Australian Auxiliary Hospital. In 1920 he was appointed Professor of the Principles and Practices of Medicine, the first clinical appointment at professorial level made by the University. The conditions of appointment permitted him to retain his Hospital posts and his consultant practice but the salary, the same as that of other University Professors, made it possible for him to spend a great deal of his time in teaching. Late in the same year, when Wilson, who had succeeded Anderson Stuart as Dean, resigned to go to Cambridge, Mills succeeded him as Dean. As a teacher, Mills was unique. He achieved a notable reputation both for his lectures and for his bedside teaching. ‘Artie’ became very well-liked and carried a blackboard and chalk with him about the wards. The Senior Year Book for 1922 records a man “unconventional and original, he stands out upon the floor of the lecture room as if he were an actor before his audience. Illustrating his ‘meditations upon the cause of things’ by gesture and clever mimicry, by quaint humour, wholesale quotations and original phrases, he drives home his points with inimitable emphasis. The lesson of observation and enquiry is what he aims above all else to teach us…” However, Mills’s style of teaching, too, was seen as greatly different from his predecessor’s. He is reported in the Senior Year Book for 1924 as constantly asking the students ‘why’, as constantly questioning the accepted methods of treatment or approach to a particular problem or disease, and as trying to look behind the symptoms in order to establish their cause. In his early days of teaching, this had led to some acrimony between himself and students who had been used to coherent, easily encompassed expositions of causes, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment. Mills’s system of working backwards from the symptoms to the cause, or possible causes, was in those early days ahead of its time; by 1924 it would appear to have become an acceptable, even if still at times a rather intimidating approach.In personality, too, Mills appears to have been far removed from Anderson Stuart. He had a rather more volatile character, with a sense of humour and a keen wit, but with the ability to be strict and even caustic toward students who failed to supply adequate answers to his many questions. Students recorded that “…Professor Mills believes that it is the duty of the lecturer to be interesting, and not the duty of the audience to be interested. The measure of his success is the number of people who turn up at the unholy hour of half-past eight in the morning, and, by the experience of those who turn up on the stroke of time to his optional lectures at RPAH, and who have difficulty in finding a seat (those who arrive late have to sit on the floor). Arty’s way of keeping order is as original as his teaching method. The ‘gentlemen in the back row’ are not asked to leave the room, but the turbulent spirits are put to shame by having aspersions cast on the power of their higher nervous centres. The success of this plan makes one imagine what a success Arty would be as a political speaker. Surely the most experienced and irreconcilable heckler would be reduced to stupefied silence on hearing himself described as a ‘poor thalamic individual entirely devoid of cortical control.’” In terms of leadership and administration, it is said that Mills “was a strong dean, just and sympathetic in his dealings with the staff, but intolerant of inefficiency and never hesitant to expose it.” He remained Dean until 1925 and also became, ex officio, a Fellow of Senate. Holding all these positions as well as being a Senior Physician at Prince Alfred Hospital, he became a man of considerable power and influence in matters concerning the Medical School. His manner of wielding this power appears to have been very different from that of Anderson Stuart. Contemporary accounts show him to have been held in affection rather than awe and he seems to have swayed others as much by reasoned argument as by force of personality or will. Mills’s contemporary Dr Robert Scot Skirving was perhaps alluding to this influence in his memoirs, when he described Mills as “…rather a medical larrikin and wire-puller.” Mills was appointed chief medical officer for the Mutual Life & Citizens Assurance Co. Ltd. in 1926, which was offered to him by Sir John Garvan. Even when Mills ceased to be Dean of the Faculty in 1925, he remained powerful since he returned to the Senate in 1929 as a Fellow elected by Convocation and became Deputy Chancellor in 1935. In these capacities he could and did dominate the Conjoint Board responsible for making Prince Alfred Hospital staff appointments. After serving a term of two years as Deputy Chancellor, he had effective control of all Faculty appointments as well.In 1929 his wife died and Mills married the sister of Sir John Garvan, Helena Mary in 1932. In 1938 Mills was appointed a foundation fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians. Mills died suddenly of coronary occlusion in Martin Place on April 10, 1940. He was a worthy, and rather more lovable successor to Anderson Stuart as the de facto ruler of the Faculty. There seems little doubt that he transformed the teaching of clinical medicine at the Medical School and helped to promote the cause of basic sciences. An oil portrait of him by William Rowell hangs in the Great Hall, a reminder of his services to the University, and a cartoon by Lionel Lindsay of Mills as Saint Luke, emphasizes his interest in paediatrics and also tobacco.His obituary by (Sir) Charles Macdonald in The Medical Journal of Australia is unusually full, and gives us a clear picture of him as a physician, medical administrator, and teacher.

Arthur Edward Mills was born on 13 February 1865, at Mudgee, the son of a local official who acted as mining agent in the district during the Mudgee-Gulgong gold rush. During his childhood he fell under the influence of the local school master, Robert Hinder, an older brother of Henry V. Critchley Hinder. Robert Hinder influenced Arthur Mills to become a school teacher and he was duly licensed at the age of sixteen to teach in small schools. He taught first in Beryl and then in Wyaldra, but he was unhappy as a school teacher — it is said because he found it difficult to impose adequate discipline. Consequently he resigned his position in January 1883. Nevertheless the desire to succeed as a teacher seems to have persisted.

<b>Sir Thomas Peter Anderson Stuart Kt</b>

Dean of the Faculty of Medicine (1883-1920)

Professor of Anatomy and Physiology (until 1890)

Professor of Physiology (until 1920)

MD ChM HonLLD (Edin) HonDSc (Durham) MD (Melb)

Thomas Peter Anderson Stuart was born in Dumfries, Scotland, on 20 June 1856. He was the only child in a middle-class and financially comfortable family. His father was engaged in business and his mother divided her time between her family and various charities. She appears to have been a woman of strong personality who exerted great influence over her son and was responsible for much of the foundation of his character. In later life Anderson Stuart often acknowledged both his debt and his strong attachment to her.

Like many children without siblings, he had a lonely childhood which may have contributed to the development of his rather premature stolidity and sombreness of character. He spent most of his time in the company of adults and thus always seemed rather old for his years. His early education was at a private school, and then at the Dumfries Academy, which he left aged fourteen, to become a chemist's apprentice. He passed his registration examinations at sixteen but, by law, could not work as a chemist until the age of twenty-one. During this hiatus he decided to study medicine at the University of Edinburgh.

Even at this early stage in his life and career, Anderson Stuart showed the foresight and receptivity to information that were to be characteristic throughout his life. Among the subjects permitted for the University entrance examination he chose Greek, German and French; Greek because it would be necessary if he were to proceed to an MD, French and German because a doctor whose opinions he valued said they were necessary to keep abreast of what was happening on the continent. After passing his examinations he went to Wolfenbüttel in Germany to improve his knowledge of modern languages.

He entered the University of Edinburgh in 1875 and devoted almost all of his time to study. From Dr Robert Scot Skirving's memoirs we learn that he was rather unpopular with his fellow students who considered him conceited and 'a swot'. Scot Skirving wrote that 'he took many medals and many prizes, and took the Ettles Scholarship, but he took himself most seriously of all'. He claimed that 'Coracoid' was Anderson Stuart's nickname, from a fancied resemblance of his prominent nose to a coracoid process. <ref>Robert Scot Skirving in Ann Macintosh (ed.) (1988) <i>The Memoirs of Dr Robert Scot Skirving 1859-1956</i>, Sydney, Foreland Press, p. 88.</ref> Nevertheless Scot Skirving was 'not unfriendly' with him and, some years later, owed his appointment as Superintendent of Prince Alfred Hospital to Anderson Stuart's efforts. Anderson Stuart appears to have had few outside interests and had an aversion for sport. He did brilliantly in all his examinations, coming first in his final year in 1880 with First Class Honours and was awarded a gold medal. As he was attracted to teaching and had been told by his professors that he would make a good teacher, he chose this as his career and was soon appointed Chief Demonstrator to Professor William Rutherford, the Professor of Physiology who was a distinguished histologist. Spending a year in Strassburg (then part of Germany) before taking up the post in 1881, he made a special study of the properties of nickel and cobalt. At this time he worked particularly with Hoppe-Seyler and Schmiedeberg, two great names in chemical physiology. His training in Edinburgh and Strassburg thus gave him a good knowledge of both Histology and Pharmacology. The material he collected in Strassburg formed the basis of his MD thesis for which he received a gold medal in 1882. In the same year he applied for and was offered the Professorship of Anatomy and Physiology at Sydney University. He was twenty-six years old at the time.

Between the time of his appointment, towards the end of 1882, and his arrival in Sydney in March 1883, he made extensive enquiries about Sydney in general and the University in particular so that he was quite well prepared for colonial conditions when he arrived in Australia. He married Elizabeth Ainslie (Lizzie) in 1882, shortly before setting out for Australia on <i>The Parramatta</i>.<ref>Atherton Young, J. <i>Stuart, Sir Thomas Peter Anderson (1856 - 1920)</i> Australian Dictionary of Biography Online, http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/A120147b.htm?hilite=anderson%3Bstuart, accessed February, 2008.</ref> After his arrival in Sydney, he began immediately the huge task of starting and building up the new Medical School. The Sydney University Medical School began in 1883 with one member of staff, the Professor, and six male students. Anderson Stuart began with high expectations, and each of the students in this first intake were failed.<ref>Atherton Young, J. <i>Stuart, Sir Thomas Peter Anderson (1856 - 1920)</i> Australian Dictionary of Biography Online, http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/A120147b.htm?hilite=anderson%3Bstuart, accessed February, 2008.</ref> The Temporary Medical School building was not completed at the time of Anderson Stuart's arrival, and he started teaching before either doors or windows had been installed, so as to begin 'according to my timetable'. On completion, the building was a small four-roomed brick cottage which Anderson Stuart had initially to share with the newly appointed Challis Professor of Natural Philosophy, W J Stephens. In a short time, the Professor of Natural Philosophy moved out so that the whole building was taken over by the Medical School. To the four rooms were later added a lecture room, an injection room and a dissecting room, and these seven rooms comprised the Medical School until the completion of Barnet's Medical School building in 1889.

In the first six years of his appointment, Anderson Stuart not only put the Medical School on a firm basis within the University itself, but also established its connections with, and standing in the world outside the University.

With the drive and foresight that he displayed throughout the whole of his professional life, Anderson Stuart not only began agitating for more staff from almost the very start of his appointment as Professor at the Medical School, but he also very quickly began pressing the University and the Government for funds for a new building. As early as 1885, Anderson Stuart managed to persuade Senate to approach the Government for funds for a new Medical School building. This money was granted, apparently on the understanding that the entire structure would be built out of the funds provided. Anderson Stuart had different ideas, however. He used the allocated funds to lay the foundations of a much larger and grander building than the one Senate and the Government had envisaged. By this clever, if not altogether honest reallocation of Government money, Anderson Stuart forced both the University and the Government to allow him to build a School of a size that he wanted and was confident he could fill. His confidence was not shared by his contemporaries and the Medical School building became known as 'Andy's Folly'.

Whatever views Anderson Stuart's contemporaries may have had of him — especially those whose opinions he had either disregarded or overruled — there can really be no question that his commitment to medicine in general was very great. His determination to secure and maintain a high reputation for colonial practitioners led to his involvement, not only with the Medical School and Prince Alfred Hospital, but also with the Board of Public Health, for a short time with the Sydney Hospital for Sick Children, with Veterinary Science and with Dentistry. His association with the Children's Hospital was not a happy one and the clash of wills between him and the Lady Superintendent of the Hospital provided rich material for the <i>Bulletin</i> cartoonist of the time. Even this, however, was grist to his mill. It kept Anderson Stuart before the public eye and in the very process of lampooning him, it served to emphasize his integrity as well as his rigidity. He was nicknamed 'Andy' by the undergraduate students, who were aided by his carefully constructed blackboard diagrams and inspiring lectures. Soon after his arrival in Sydney he established the Sydney University Medical Society for students.<ref>Atherton Young, J. <i>Stuart, Sir Thomas Peter Anderson (1856 - 1920)</i> Australian Dictionary of Biography Online, http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/A120147b.htm?hilite=anderson%3Bstuart, accessed February, 2008.</ref>

During his lifetime, Anderson Stuart succeeded in creating one of the largest and most important medical institutions in the Empire outside Britain. This he succeeded in doing because the establishment of the Medical School was for him a major aspect of his existence, even to the point of intruding upon and detracting from other aspects of his life. From about 1890 Anderson Stuart began expanding his interests into the wider sphere of University and community activities. He published nothing further of note other than public addresses and general reviews. Of the extraordinary range of the activities he now undertook, only a few need to be mentioned here, sufficient only to indicate the toll they must have taken of his time and energy. From 1893 until 1896 he held the dual appointments of Medical Adviser to the Government and President of the Board of Health. He resigned the Presidency only when the Public Service Board ruled that the appointment should be full-time, but he continued as a member of the Board for the remainder of his life. From 1883 Anderson Stuart had been a member of the Board of Directors of the Prince Alfred Hospital and in 1901, he became the Chairman of the Board, a position he held until his death in 1920. Within the University he was largely responsible for the establishment of the Department of Dentistry in 1901, and in 1905 he became the first President of the United Dental Hospital. He also played a prominent part in the establishment of the Department of Veterinary Science in 1909. In addition, he was President of innumerable community organizations: the Highland Society of N.S.W., the N.S.W. Zoological Society (which controlled the zoo), the British Seamen's Guild, the British Immigration League of Australia, the Civil Ambulance and Transport Brigade, and numerous others. He was also Deputy Grand Master of the United Grand Lodge of NSW and even Patron of the Double Bay Pastime Cricket Club. He became an obsessive, even a compulsive, organizer.

It is commonly assumed that those who are highly successful as organizers would be equally successful had their energies been directed towards research. Be that as it may, Anderson Stuart gave relatively little of his time to the Department and, by not actively participating in research, failed to give the Department the intellectual leadership it needed. His research was limited to studies of the workings of the larynx and epiglottis, and the eye.<ref>Atherton Young, J. <i>Stuart, Sir Thomas Peter Anderson (1856 - 1920)</i> Australian Dictionary of Biography Online, http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/A120147b.htm?hilite=anderson%3Bstuart, accessed February, 2008.</ref> On the other hand it was undoubtedly the breadth of his activities that gave him access to, and influence over, people in positions of power in University, Government and community circles. Without these activities he would probably not have been able to establish the Medical School as swiftly and effectively as he did.

His marriage to Elizabeth Ainslie was not a happy one and ended tragically with her early death in 1886.<ref>Elizabeth Ainslie Anderson Stuart died at her home at 12 Toxteth Road Glebe, in the early hours of 28 February 1886. A Coroner's Inquest was held (<i>Sydney Morning Herald</i> 6 March 1886) and the jury returned a verdict of death 'from the effects of an overdose of morphia.' Anderson Stuart, who had not been living at home, and her physicians, Scot Skirving and Camac Wilkinson, all believed that her death was accidental, not suicide. The marriage was childless.</ref> His second marriage was in 1894 to Dorothy Primrose, a relation of Lord Rosebery.<ref>Atherton Young, J. <i>Stuart, Sir Thomas Peter Anderson (1856 - 1920)</i> Australian Dictionary of Biography Online, http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/A120147b.htm?hilite=anderson%3Bstuart, accessed February, 2008.</ref> This presented more of the external trappings of success though it was typically Victorian in its pattern. They had four sons: Archibald, Bouverie, Alexander and Anson. Two of his sons, Archibald Primrose Anderson Stuart (MB BS 1921) and Bouverie Primrose Anderson Stuart (MB BS 1923), followed him into medicine. Bouverie recollects Anderson Stuart as a strict and rather distant figure whose communications with his children were largely through his wife as intermediary.

According to Scot Skirving, Anderson Stuart discovered a lump in the abdomen while in the bath early in 1919. Although his life-long relationships with doctors Robert Scot Skirving and Alexander MacCormick had not always been amicable, they were still his friends, perhaps his truest friends, and they did what they could for him in his last days. After laparotomy, MacCormick and Scot Skirving realized that the tumour was inoperable and all they could do was close him up and drain his frequently recurring ascites. Scot Skirving wrote that Anderson Stuart accepted his fate with resignation and dignity and traversed his <i>via dolorosa</i>, which lasted eleven months, with fortitude and consideration for others. 'No act of his life,' wrote Scot Skirving, 'became him so well as the manner of his leaving it. I remember seeing him just before the finish, and he spoke to me in the vernacular of many things, mostly of a consciousness of having failed in life…He, in the scientific life and future of medicine and its ancillary sciences in New South Wales, played the part of Moses on Pisgah, while many Joshuas, mostly lesser folk, in and out of laboratories, entered into a promised land of new learning which he had visualised from afar, but alas, failed to find himself.'<ref>Scot Skirving in Macintosh (1988), p. 287.</ref> Anderson Stuart requested that all his personal papers be destroyed upon his death. As he was dying, he dictated his memoirs to William Epps, who in 1922 published his biography.<ref>Atherton Young, J. <i>Stuart, Sir Thomas Peter Anderson (1856 - 1920)</i> Australian Dictionary of Biography Online, http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/A120147b.htm?hilite=anderson%3Bstuart, accessed February, 2008.</ref>

Anderson Stuart's death on 29 February 1920 cut short a life of high public achievement. His last lecture in 1919 was attended by his son, Bouverie, then a third-year medical student, who used to act as his father's chauffeur for their trip home. On this occasion the students, having sung and stamped through the lecture period, attached ropes and pulled the family Buick from the University down as far as Broadway. It was a very human tribute to a man who, even in his own lifetime, had taken on the somewhat cold and aloof stature of founder and prominent public figure. He was survived by his wife and four sons.

His name is extensively commemorated in the University. The Barnet-Vernon-Wilkinson Old Medical School building is now called the Anderson Stuart Building (since 1960), particularly appropriate since his Arms and the initials AS (on a stone boss) are carved on the façade above the main (eastern) entrance; a carved raven, perched on a broken string course surmounting the gable window may also be intended to recall the Dean. In addition, his escutcheon is to be seen in stained glass decorating the south entrance and the crest from his Arms, a single-masted galleon with furled sails and four sets of oars, together with his motto, En Avant, is carved in stone, high up on the western end of the north range of the building. A medical research Fellowship awarded by the Faculty also bears his name as does a splendid portrait of him by Longstaff. In Prince Alfred Hospital a marble bust of him, side by side with Roberts, stands in the entrance hall of the main administration building. During his lifetime he had received many honours including an Honorary Doctorate of Laws from the University of Edinburgh (1898), an Honorary Doctorate of Science from the University of Durham (1912) and a Doctorate of Medicine ad eundem gradum from the University of Melbourne (1912). He was created a Knight Bachelor in 1914 in recognition of his distinguished service to medicine.

Sir Harold Robert Dew was born on 14 April 1891 in Melbourne and was educated at the University of Melbourne where he graduated MBBS in 1914. He joined the Royal Army Medical Corps serving in France, Egypt and Palestine, and was awarded the <i>médaille d'honneur des épidémies</i> in 1917 by the French government.<ref>Carmody, J.

He was First Assistant and, for a time, Acting Director of the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute from 1923 to 1926. While at the Institute he wrote two notable monographs which were subsequently published: Malignant Disease of the Testicle (1925) and Hydatid Disease (1927). For the former he was awarded the Jackson Prize of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, and awarded the Syme Prize of the University of Melbourne (1927) for the latter, which became renowned internationally.<ref>Carmody, J. Dew, Sir Harold Robert (1891 – 1962), Australian Dictionary of Biography Online, http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/A130698b.htm?hilite=dew, accessed February, 2008.</ref> In his memoirs, Dr Robert Scot Skirving claimed that Dew was "the author of the best book on hydatid disease in the world."<ref>Macintosh, A. ed. Memoirs of Dr Robert Scot Skirving 1859-1956, (1988), Foreland Press, Sydney, p. 303.</ref> During these years Dew married Doreen Lorna Beatrice Lawrance (1925) in Melbourne.

Dew was active in the foundation of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons of which he became a Fellow in 1928. In 1930 he was the Hunterian Professor of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. In the same year he was appointed to the Bosch Chair of Surgery at the University of Sydney, thereby becoming the first full-time Professor of Surgery to be appointed in an Australian University. By the time of Dew's arrival, the University Clinical Schools in the Teaching Hospitals were all well established. The Prince Alfred Hospital had, of course, been a Clinical School since it first opened in 1883, Sydney Hospital since 1909, and St Vincent's since 1923. Dew thus arrived at what seemed a propitious time. However the clinical school was staffed by practising surgeons who were masters of their craft and who were men of the town, sceptical of the intrusions of the gown. Dew could call neither on unlimited funds nor on the unqualified support of practising surgeons.

He was the first full-time Professor within the Faculty, he had several well established Clinical Schools, the population of Sydney was growing, and it was a time of rapid growth of medical knowledge and expertise. Dew's imprint is clearly marked on the Sydney Medical School. Meticulous history-taking and an encyclopaedic knowledge of clinical symptoms and signs were the hallmarks of both Dew and Lambie, the Bosch Professor of Medicine, as teachers. The two worked together to restructure the clinical curriculum.<ref>Carmody, J. Dew, Sir Harold Robert (1891 – 1962), Australian Dictionary of Biography Online, http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/A130698b.htm?hilite=dew, accessed February, 2008.</ref> In Sydney, Dew's main achievement was to teach and to inspire; his great and authoritative work on hydatid disease and his equally fine work on testicular tumours had been done in Melbourne before he assumed the Sydney Chair.

At Sydney University his achievements are exceptionally important. He played a major role in initiating and encouraging research, particularly into blood coagulation and the then new subject of cardiac surgery. He was interested in all aspects of blood coagulation and encouraged research into the topic by R. W. Lyons and Harold Cummine. He was a modest, unassuming man, who was very helpful to young people—Dr Peter Orlebar Bishop and Dr Charles Ruthven Bickerton Blackburn, for example, carried out their early research in his Department with his encouragement and support. At Prince Alfred Hospital he established neurosurgery when theatres opened in 1935, and was the Hospital's first neurosurgeon although he did not operate. This was a significant achievement, as general surgeons at the time had not yet performed extensive operations on the brain.<ref>Carmody, J. Dew, Sir Harold Robert (1891 – 1962), Australian Dictionary of Biography Online, http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/A130698b.htm?hilite=dew, accessed February, 2008.</ref> Dr Gilbert Phillips, who died early of melanoma, was Dew's brilliant <i>protégé.</i>

As Dean of the Faculty (1936–1938, 1940–1952) he was a first-class administrator, widely respected for his vision and his impartiality. During his term of office he had to face the very difficult post-war years with little finance and huge enrolments resulting from the virtually unrestricted entry of students into the Faculty. In 1949 he was instrumental in introducing the B. Sc. (Med.) degree.

Dew was a major influence in the National Health and Medical Research Council in its early days, and served on its Research Committee from 1937 to 1956. He brought forward the resolution 'That Council recommends the Federal Government to make available, through the NH&MRC, a total specific grant of £20,000 p.a. to the four Universities in Australia with Medical Schools to train personnel for Medical Research'. It was also spelled out that money should be made available for medical graduates to undertake such training.

Dew served on committees for the Nuffield Foundation, the Australasian and British journals of surgery, and the NSW Rhodes Scholarship Committee.<ref>Carmody, J.

In England, Dew also served as Hunterian professor in the same year.<ref>Carmody, J.

Dew retired in 1956 and returned to live in Melbourne. One year after relocating, a fire destroyed his home, library and paintings, all uninsured. It is said that he did not ever really recover from this loss. He died on November 17, 1962. He was survived by his wife Lady Doreen Dew, and his two daughters.<ref>Carmody, J.

Professor of Pathology (1953-1977)

Dean of the Faculty of Medicine (1960-1965)

Emeritus Professor

MD BS (Adel) FRCPA FRCPath MRCP HonFRACS

Frank Rees Magarey had been appointed to the Welsh National School of Medicine, Cardiff, in 1938 as a Demonstrator in Anatomical Pathology and Bacteriology. He served in the AIF during the Second World War as a pathologist and then returned to Cardiff as a Lecturer: he was later promoted to Senior Lecturer.

His term of office at Sydney University spanned an era of major changes in the Department. Soon after taking up the Chair in 1952, he diplomatically renewed contact with the Pathology Department at Prince Alfred Hospital and arranged for the University staff once more to perform autopsies there for two days each week.<ref>http://www.pathology.usyd.edu.au/Museum_History.html, University of Sydney Museum of Pathology website accessed April 30, 2008.</ref> This provided a new flow of pathological specimens for the Museum and the opportunity for students again to be taught around the autopsy table — a form of teaching at which Magarey excelled. He was an exceptionally good lecturer who succeeded in impressing on students the importance of Pathology as a foundation for all the later subjects in the course and for medical practice.

He played an active role in the four years of planning which resulted in the introduction in 1973 of the five-year medical curriculum. This brought major changes to the format of the Pathology course which since then has been taught in the third year of the curriculum. The content of the course also underwent revision at this time in recognition of the principle of a 'core' curriculum with greater integration and less compartmentalization throughout the medical course.

Magarey believed in the importance of giving students a solid understanding of the pathology of common diseases. This was reflected in his introduction of compulsory Museum attendance and study for Fourth Year Medical students and Third Year Dental students, and also in changes he made in the Pathology Museum. He removed a large number of the more extraordinary and spectacular exhibits and increased the representation of common disease conditions. He also introduced the internationally recognised cataloguing system devised by Maud Abbott, and produced comprehensive 160 page catalogues for student use. These contained a brief clinical history and a description of the macroscopic and microscopic pathology of each specimen. Magarey instructed that every student be examined on the exhibits in the Pathology Museum.<ref>http://www.pathology.usyd.edu.au/Museum_History.html, University of Sydney Museum of Pathology website accessed April 30, 2008.</ref>

Magarey was an active and effective administrator, serving as Dean of the Faculty from 1960–1965. It was mainly due to his efforts that the formal link between Prince Alfred Hospital and the University Department of Pathology was renewed in 1977 with the establishment of a new Chair in Pathology to be occupied by a person jointly appointed by the University and the Hospital. Dr V J McGovern was appointed to this Chair in 1977, the year of Magarey's retirement.

The number of permanent members of staff in the Department was increased during Magarey's term of office. When he came to the Chair the Department was staffed by two Senior Lecturers, a large number of part-time Lecturers and Demonstrators and a couple of Teaching Fellows. At the time of his retirement there were two Professors, one Associate Professor, three Senior Lecturers and two Lecturers on the staff.

<b>Professor David Arthur Welsh</b>

Foundation Professor of Pathology (1902-1935)

Dean of the Faculty of Medicine (1926-29)

MA BSc MD (Edin) MRCPEd

David Arthur Welsh was born in Scotland on November 19, 1865. He graduated from the University of Edinburgh three times with first-class honours. Welsh was awarded the Drummond scholarship in 1887 and the Murchison scholarship in 1893; in 1897 he took a gold medal for his doctoral thesis on the function and structure of a parathyroid.<ref>Cossart, Y. Welsh, David Arthur (1865 – 1948), Australian Dictionary of Biography Online,

</ref> He worked firstly in Edinburgh at the Royal Infirmary as a resident physician, then at the Morningside Asylum. At Edinburgh University he worked as a junior assistant to Dr Robert Muir, and married Muir's sister Elizabeth in 1899.<ref>Cossart, Y. Welsh, David Arthur (1865 – 1948), Australian Dictionary of Biography Online,

</ref> At the time, Muir was the original author of the text used in the Pathology course at the University of Sydney Medical School.

In December 1901, Welsh was appointed Foundation Professor of Pathology and began at the Faculty of Medicine in February 1902. The Senate Report for 1903 records that "the teaching accommodation and appliances for the Lectureship in Pathology have been found inadequate for the new Professorship." Welsh himself used more vivid terms to describe the facilities. In an article in the Sydney University Medical Journal, he wrote "the provision [for the work of the first Chair of Pathology] was appalling. My heart sank when I was introduced to it with all solemnity." He went on to say "It took a long time and much persuasion to get the Department gradually extended…the Senate had been told the usual "fairy tale" that the appointment of a Professor would not entail more expense beyond his salary, because ample provision (save the mark!) had been made for his work."

At the time of Welsh's appointment, the Pathology Department consisted of three small rooms — the Professor's retiring room, the preparation room and a practical class room. The Department had a share in a lecture theatre, one Demonstrator and one untrained Attendant. The latter was paid two guineas a week, and was described by Welsh as being worth the money for his acquired immunity to alcohol and his skill in dancing the Highland Fling, but not worth 'saxpence' for his other qualifications. He was the forerunner of a long line of professional and technical officers in the Department.

The few openings in Pathology during Welsh's time, and the poor salaries which the University was prepared to pay for Demonstrators, made it impossible for him to retain medical graduates on his staff, except on a part-time basis. From 1902-1909 he was assisted in his University duties by one Demonstrator, but from 1910 a part-time Lecturer and a Chief Demonstrator were supported by other Demonstrators. The undergraduate course in Pathology taught by Welsh, included bacteriology, immunology, protozoology, helminthology and haematology. The latter was his particular pride, and he claimed that the Pathology Department at Sydney University excelled those in all other Universities in its haematology practical work for students. The University Department was also responsible for postgraduate teaching in a variety of courses and undergraduate teaching in Veterinary Science and Dentistry.

Welsh complained that he and his colleagues were forced to sacrifice their research work in order to make a success of their teaching. However, his work in many fields brought distinction to himself and the University. His interests included immunity, snake poisoning, hydatid disease and tuberculosis, cancer, diseases of the blood and the parathyroid glands.

In 1911 the Royal College of Physicians, Edinburgh appointed him a fellow.<ref>Cossart, Y. Welsh, David Arthur (1865 – 1948), Australian Dictionary of Biography Online,
http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/A120493b.htm?hilite=welsh%3Bdavid, accessed February, 2008.
</ref>

Welsh appears to have been well-respected by his pupils. According to the medical students writing in the University of Sydney Senior Year Book of 1922, "Professor Welsh's department is the best organised and most efficient section of the Medical School, and we look back with admiration and gratitude to genial little Taffy and his 'Here gentlemen, we have a BEAUTIFUL specimen of a suppurating hydatid cyst;' he gave us a square deal."<ref>Senior Year Book, Sydney: University of Sydney Medical School, 1922, p. 10.</ref>

In addition to his University responsibilities, Welsh did the pathological work for Prince Alfred Hospital, to quote his own words again "in one very grubby post-mortem room and two other rooms." He was assisted in the role as Hospital Pathologist by a trained Attendant and a Resident Pathologist who was often called away to other hospital duties. He remained the Honorary Pathologist to the Hospital until 1925; after this time he became Honorary Consultant Pathologist. Between 1925 and 1929 he was Dean of the Faculty of Medicine.

On his retirement in 1935, when Senate appointed him Professor Emeritus, it stated in the resolution adopted on the occasion that the high standard that the Medical School had attained was in no small measure due to the reputation of Professor Welsh.

Welsh left a heritage of excellence in teaching and research which has served the Pathology Department well over the years. He published extensive papers on immunological reactions with Professor Henry Chapman.<ref>Cossart, Y. Welsh, David Arthur (1865 – 1948), Australian Dictionary of Biography Online,

<b>Professor John Cadell Windeyer</b>

Professor of Obstetrics (1925-1940)

Dean of the Faculty of Medicine (1930-31) (1939)

MD ChM FRACS FRCOG MRCS LRCP

John Cadell Windeyer was born on November 27, 1875 in New South Wales. He was the grandson of Archibald Windeyer.<ref>Shearman, R. P. Windeyer, John Cadell (1875 - 1951) Australian Dictionary of Biography Online, http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/A120603b.htm?hilite=windeyer, accessed February, 2008.</ref> He was educated at The King's School, Parramatta, then at Sydney University where he graduated Bachelor of Medicine and Master of Surgery in 1899. After graduating, he was appointed resident medical officer to Sydney Hospital.<ref>Shearman, R. P.

In 1901 he went to England where he obtained diplomas from the Royal Colleges of Surgeons (MRCS) and Physicians (LRCP). After spending some time in Dublin and then Vienna, Windeyer returned to Sydney, practicing in Sydney Hospital in the Pathology Department.<ref>Shearman, R. P.

In 1904 he became Honorary Assistant Surgeon to the Royal Hospital for Women in Paddington. For the next fifteen years he worked hard to better conditions for mothers and babies. To this end he persuaded the Women's Hospital to appoint its first Honorary Paediatrician, Dr Margaret Harper. Windeyer was instrumental in encouraging Professor Anderson Stuart to include clinical teaching in Obstetrics in the University of Sydney medical curriculum in 1909.<ref>Shearman, R. P. Windeyer, John Cadell (1875 - 1951) Australian Dictionary of Biography Online, http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/A120603b.htm?hilite=windeyer, accessed February, 2008.</ref> His belief was always "to try and make childbirth safer for the mother."<ref>Shearman, R. P. Windeyer, John Cadell (1875 - 1951) Australian Dictionary of Biography Online, http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/A120603b.htm?hilite=windeyer, accessed February, 2008.</ref>

Continuing his efforts, in 1912 Windeyer established an ante-natal clinic at the Women's Hospital: it was the first ante-natal clinic in Australia and said to be only the second ever established in the English-speaking world. It was modelled on a clinic established a few years previously at the Royal Infirmary, Edinburgh. In 1914 Windeyer became Examiner in Gynaecology to the University of Sydney, and in 1919 appointed Honorary Surgeon to the Royal Hospital for Women in Paddington. In 1920 he was appointed Lecturer in Obstetrics at the University of Sydney. Five years later, he became the first Professor of the subject, and thus the first Professor of Obstetrics at an Australian University. These appointments resulted in better organization of teaching with more experience for the student, who now witnessed over one hundred deliveries.

By all accounts, Windeyer was a kind and sympathetic but not inspiring teacher, and a very competent practitioner. The medical students writing in the University of Sydney Senior Year Book of 1924 described him as, "Benevolent and imperturbable, with a slumberous voice and an uncanny long memory. Delivers lectures and infants with equanimity, and faces a squawling ten-pounder or an uproarious class with a manner which is almost maternal."<ref><i>Senior Year Book</i>, Sydney: University of Sydney Medical School (1924), p. 13.</ref> Apart from being Honorary Consulting Physician to the <i>Royal Society for the Welfare of Mothers and Babies</i> from 1923 onwards, he was for a time on the Board of Management of the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital. He was a Trustee of the King George V Memorial Fund for Maternal and Infant Welfare, Chairman of the Australian Reference Committee of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, a member of the Nurses Registration Board, Chairman of the Medical Appointments Advisory Committee to the Hospitals Commission of New South Wales, a member of the New South Wales Post-Graduate Committee, a member of the Obstetrical Research Committee and a member of a special Medical Committee Investigating Maternal Mortality.

Windeyer published broadly in the areas of gynaecology and obstetrics; his most siginificant writing culminating in the pamphlet <i>Methods of Ante-Natal Abdominal Palpation</i> of 1926.<ref>Shearman, R. P. Windeyer, John Cadell (1875 - 1951) Australian Dictionary of Biography Online, http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/A120603b.htm?hilite=windeyer, accessed February, 2008.</ref>

In 1927 he was appointed a foundation fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons, and two years later a foundation fellow of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, London.<ref>Shearman, R. P. Windeyer, John Cadell (1875 - 1951) Australian Dictionary of Biography Online, http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/A120603b.htm?hilite=windeyer, accessed February, 2008.</ref> He was referred to as the 'Grand old man of the Royal.'<ref>Shearman, R. P. Windeyer, John Cadell (1875 - 1951) Australian Dictionary of Biography Online, http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/A120603b.htm?hilite=windeyer, accessed February, 2008.</ref>
From 1928-48 he was part of the editorial committee of the <i>Australian and New Zealand Journal of Surgery.</i><ref>Shearman, R. P. Windeyer, John Cadell (1875 - 1951) Australian Dictionary of Biography Online, http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/A120603b.htm?hilite=windeyer, accessed February, 2008.</ref> He was twice Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, in 1930–1931 and in 1939, and, ex officio, a Fellow of Senate in the same years. Windeyer's involvement in the administration of the Medical School was rather limited, however, partly at least, because of his extensive involvement in areas outside the University. He remained in the Chair of Obstetrics until his retirement in 1941.

He died in Sydney in 1951, survived by his wife, daughter, and two sons. His son Dr John Spencer Windeyer (MB BS 1941 Grad Dip Anaesthesia 1948), and his daughter Dr Ella XXXX graduated from the University of Sydney in Medicine.

<b>Professor James Thomas Wilson</b>

Demonstrator in Anatomy

Professor of Anatomy (1890-1920)

Dean of the Faculty of Medicine (1920)

MB ChM (Edin) MA FRS

James Thomas Wilson was born in 1861 in Dumfriesshire, Scotland. His father was a schoolmaster from whom Wilson received his education. He evinced an early interest in natural history and was torn between this and medicine when he entered Edinburgh University in 1879. He graduated in Medicine with Second Class Honours in 1883, having taken a medal in Botany. After a short session as Resident House Surgeon at the Royal Infirmary, he spent a year as ship's surgeon in a far eastern cargo trader. The next two years were spent as a Demonstrator in Turner's Anatomy Department in Edinburgh (then the most prestigious Anatomy Department in Great Britain).

Wilson sailed to Sydney on <i>The Orient</i> in 1887 with Professor (Sir) Mungo MacCallum, who was to become a close friend. <ref>Morison, P. Wilson, James Thomas (1861 - 1945) Australian Dictionary of Biography Online, http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/A120591b.htm, accessed February, 2008.</ref>,<ref>Mungo MacCallum's appreciation of Wilson appears in Sydney Morning Herald (June 5, 1920).</ref> Wilson took up his post as Demonstrator in April 1887, and also held a post as Resident Medical Officer at Prince Alfred Hospital, but whether this only preceded his appointment at the University or coincided with it is unknown to us.

Wilson was the first person appointed to the Challis Chair of Anatomy in 1890. He married Jane Elizabeth Smith in the same year, and she died three days after their daughter was born in 1891. He married his second wife Mabel Mildred Millicent Salomons, the daughter of Sir Julian Salomons, in 1898.<ref>Morison, P. Wilson, James Thomas (1861 - 1945) Australian Dictionary of Biography Online, http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/A120591b.htm, accessed February, 2008.</ref>

In the first decade of his appointment, Wilson's research collaborators were principally physiologist (Sir) Charles Martin and embryologist James Peter Hill. The decade produced eighteen papers bearing Wilson's name and the total output of his publications whilst he was in Sydney was forty-three. Wilson and Martin led the first reputable studies of the native fauna of Australia with Hill and (Sir) Grafton Elliot Smith. With Hill, Wilson studied the embryology of the platypus, and presented this work in Geneva in 1905 to the first international congress of anatomists. <i>Nature</i> awarded it first place. <ref>Morison, P. Wilson, James Thomas (1861 - 1945) Australian Dictionary of Biography Online, http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/A120591b.htm, accessed February, 2008.</ref> In 1908 he was president of the pharmacology, anatomy and physiology divisions of the Australasian Medical Congress.<ref>Morison, P. Wilson, James Thomas (1861 - 1945) Australian Dictionary of Biography Online, http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/A120591b.htm, accessed February, 2008.</ref> He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1909.

Wilson, despite his quite onerous teaching duties and his research interests, took on many outside obligations. In addition to giving public lectures on biological subjects, he was for two years a Director of the Prince Alfred Hospital and its Secretary from late in 1897 to 1901. He was President of the Linnean Society of N.S.W. (1898–1899) and of the Sydney University Union (1901–1902), a Trustee of the Australian Museum, Chairman of the Professorial Board on three occasions (1895, 1908–1912, 1916–1919), a Fellow of Senate (1916–1920) and, for a short time, Dean of Faculty following Anderson Stuart's death in 1920. He was actively engaged in military affairs and did important work in censorship and war propaganda during World War One, activities that took up much of his time.

In 1920, at the instigation of his friends, Wilson applied for, and was offered the Chair of Anatomy in Cambridge. In the same year he became a fellow of St John's College.<ref>Morison, P. Wilson, James Thomas (1861 - 1945) Australian Dictionary of Biography Online, http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/A120591b.htm, accessed February, 2008.</ref> His reasons for pulling up the roots generated during the thirty-three years he was in Sydney are matters only for speculation, but his friend Hill, the author of his Royal Society obituary<ref>Hill, J. P. "James Thomas Wilson 1861-1945" Obituary Notices of Fellows of the Royal Society, Vol. 6, No. 18. (Nov 1949), pp. 643-660.</ref> wrote that he 'has reason to believe that he [Wilson] never regretted the choice he then made'. In making this move, it is probable that Wilson's main considerations were the challenge of building up what appears to have been a run-down Department, and the wish to be nearer the centre of things. In the latter context, we should note that he became a Councillor of the Anatomical Society immediately after his return to Britain, and he became the Society's next President in 1922. It is conceivable that financial considerations may also have influenced Wilson's decision. He was elected a fellow of the Zoological Society of London, and also a fellow of the Cambridge Philosophical Society where he was president from 1922-24.<ref>Morison, P. Wilson, James Thomas (1861 - 1945) Australian Dictionary of Biography Online, http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/A120591b.htm, accessed February, 2008.</ref> He served as executive councillor of the Universities' Bureau of the British Empire from 1921-38.<ref>Morison, P. Wilson, James Thomas (1861 - 1945) Australian Dictionary of Biography Online, http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/A120591b.htm, accessed February, 2008.</ref>

At the time of his resignation in Sydney, he was fifty-nine years old and the Challis Chairs carried the compulsory retirement provisions of the new era. Tenure of Chairs in the older British institutions still carried no such restriction. For instance, Sir Edward Sharpey-Schafer, who took over Rutherford's Chair of Physiology in Edinburgh in 1900, was to continue his histological and physiological work until his retirement at the age of eighty-three in 1933, after a total of fifty years as a Professor. In the event, Wilson retired from his Cambridge Chair in 1935 aged seventy-four. He died in 1945 at Cambridge.<ref>Professor A. N. Burkitt's appreciation of Wilson's life is contained in "Obituary: James Thomas Wilson" in The Medical Journal of Australia, (Dec 29, 1945), pp. 512-516.</ref>

Although obviously effective, Wilson was considered by some contemporary observers to be a rather uninspiring lecturer, and he had a number of distinctive tics which evidently impressed themselves on his students. At the 1920 annual dinner of the Medical Society in the Hotel Wentworth, which was made the occasion of a valedictory for Wilson, the speaker was Professor Arthur Edward Mills. Mills refers to Wilson's characteristic shrugging of the shoulders and the rubbing the shin of one leg against the calf of the other — and to his stentorian voice, often heard calling 'Loo-ee' (Louis Schaeffer) down the corridors. No doubt this formed an interesting contrast to the voice of 'Whispering Henry' (Henry Priestley). In the University of Sydney Medical School's <i>Senior Year Book</i> (1922) the students described how Wilson's "baleful glare and stentorian voice instilled mortal terror into 'the gentleman in the last seat but one.' We soon grew to know his distinctive little mannerisms, to appreciate and to admire his sincere and upright character. A keen scientist and a teacher of no mean ability, we yet owe more to him than a high standard in Anatomy; for above all else Jummy was a gentleman; just, courteous and dignified, ever true to his word and of untiring energy in his work."<ref>Senior Year Book (1922), University of Sydney Medical School, Sydney, p. 8.</ref> Louis Schaeffer, the dissecting-room attendant who worked closely with Wilson, praised him in equal measure in a 1933 interview. "I don't think it possible to have met a finer man. He was one of nature's noblemen. He couldn't think a wrong thing, much less do it, and he gained the love of his fellows...students stood in awe of Professor Stuart, but took their troubles to Dr Wilson. Dr Wilson and Dr MacCormick used to give picnics to students of their 'years.' They were good oh – I used to go!"<ref>Louis Schaeffer quoted in I. I. Brodsky "Unofficial History" in Sydney University Medical Journal (1933), p. 110. </ref>

In his department, Wilson's appointment of Demonstrators is difficult to understand. Despite the outstanding success of the earlier Demonstrators in Anatomy and Physiology appointed by Anderson Stuart (MacCormick and Almroth Wright), and Wilson's own close association with C. J. Martin, another Anderson Stuart appointee, and J. P. Hill, Haswell's first Demonstrator, Wilson chose to appoint medical graduates of only one or two years' standing. The rate of pay for these Demonstrators was £200 p.a. (as against £350 for other Demonstrators) indicating, almost certainly, that they were only part-time. They did not begin duty until the start of Lent Term and one wonders how much of the load and responsibility they could have taken from Wilson. In addition to Junior Demonstrators and Honorary Demonstrators, Wilson was to introduce the use of Student Demonstrators. The appointment of these Prosectors, originally fourth or fifth year students, also served to provide high quality specimens for the Museum.

Wilson's achievement was truly remarkable. He ran a Department which had very great teaching commitments with a staff, none of whom appears to have been full-time, and none of whom appears to have been a dedicated academic anatomist. It is no less remarkable how he found the time to continue his research, much less the inclination to do so, in the absence of local stimulus. Also remarkable is that Wilson managed with such a small technical staff, which would be considered miniscule in present-day terms.

In Sydney, Wilson's tenure of office as Challis Professor is commemorated by the Museum, first named the <i>Museum of Normal and Morbid Anatomy</i> by Anderson Stuart in 1890. In an address celebrating <i>The Majority of the Medical School</i> in 1902, Anderson Stuart's pride in the Museum was obvious when he mentioned that it "possesses 24,000 specimens and is well worthy of a visit." This museum, located originally on the ground floor, was moved to a site on the first floor which had formerly been the Cullenian theatre. Following the opening of the New Medical School building in the early 1930s, the morbid anatomy collection was moved to the new building to become the Pathology Museum. The rest of the collection, consisting of anatomical and anthropological specimens, remained in the Old Medical School and was renamed the J. T. Wilson Museum by Burkitt in 1936. The J. T. Wilson Museum of Anatomy is now located in room W401 in the Anderson Stuart Building.
