eminent physicians and one a distinguished ornament of 

 the British Army. 



Dr. Lauder Brunton was a survivor of the eminent group 

 of men who studied medicine with him in the Edinburgh 

 school some half-century ago. While enjoying a large 

 practice and great eminence as a consultant, he found 

 time also to carry on important investigations in thera- 

 peutics and other branches of medicine. He was elected 

 into the Royal Society in 1874, knighted in 1900, and created 

 baronet in 1908. He died in 1916. 



Major-General Sir Charles William Wilson, K.C.B. (F.R.S. 

 1874) , had a long and memorable career in the Royal Engineers. 

 When quite a young man he was chosen to serve on the 

 North American Boundary Commission, and his excellent 

 work at that time led later to further employment under 

 the Foreign Office, such as the Serbian Boundary Commission 

 and as Military Consul-General in Anatolia and Commissioner 

 in Eastern Rumelia. He was employed in surveying 

 Palestine and Sinai, and the admirable quality of his topo- 

 graphic services led to his being appointed Director-General 

 of the Ordnance Survey. His wide range of x scientific 

 acquirement specially fitted him to fill the post of Director- 

 General of Military Education to which he was appointed. 

 The army is also largely indebted to him for the foundation 

 of its Intelligence Department. He was one of the most 

 modest of men and a delightful companion, full of interesting 

 reminiscence and genial sympathy. 



Dr. George Harley, after taking his medical degree in 

 Edinburgh in 1850, went to Paris to study physiology and 

 chemistry. He became lecturer in physiology and histology 

 at University College, and afterwards Professor of Medical 

 Jurisprudence at the same institution. He was elected into 

 the Royal Society in 1865. 



Dr. George Johnson, medical graduate of London, became 

 in 1850 a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, where 

 he was successively appointed Gulstonian lecturer, Lumleian 

 lecturer and Harveian orator. He was for many years 

 one of the teaching staff connected with King's College
