  • 1802-1892

Educated at the Great Windmill Street School and St George’s Hospital. On his application as an assistant surgeon at St George’s in 1834, however, he was turned down in favour of Edward Cutler.

Manson, Patrick

  • Persona
  • 1844-1922

Born in Aberdeenshire and educated at Aberdeen. He was apprenticed to ironmasters aged 13, but following enforced rest due to tuberculosis (Pott's disease), he entered university instead, and graduated in medicine from the University of Aberdeen in 1865, gaining Master of Surgery and MD the following year.

He was appointed medical officer at Durham Lunatic Asylum, and in 1866 he followed his brother David Manson to Shanghai, and was appointed medical officer to the Chinese Imperial Maritime Customs in Formosa (Taiwan). He also worked in Amoy, China and Hong Kong, and developed an interest in tropical diseases and in the role of parasites in their transmission.

He was particularly interested in filaria, a small parasitic worm that causes elephantiasis. His discovery that filiariasis in humans is transmitted by mosquitoes was foundational in modern tropical medicine, and he is often known as the 'father of tropical medicine'. His discoveries led to the mosquito-malaria theory, according to which malaria is transmitted by mosquitoes, rather than bad air, or miasma, as previously supposed.

He moved to London in 1889 and was appointed the Chief Medical Officer to the Colonial Office. He was appointed the first lecturer in Tropical Medicine St George’s. He went on to found the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine in 1899. He was a fellow of the Royal Society, was knighted in 1903, and was the first president of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine in 1907. He retired in 1912.

He married Henrietta Isabella Thurbun in 1876; they had three sons and one daughter. He died in London in 1922 aged 78.

Nicholls, Marriott Fawckner

  • Persona
  • 1898-1969

Born in London on 12th May 1898, the son of Marriott Edwin Nicholls. Educated at the City of London School, Clare College, Cambridge and St George's Hospital. His undergraduate studies were interrupted by the first world war, during which he enlisted with the Royal Fusiliers at the age of seventeen and served with them from 1915-1919. After demobilization in 1919 with the rank of Captain, he returned to his studies at Cambridge and graduated BA in 1921. For his clinical work he entered St George's Hospital qualifying with the Conjoint Diploma in 1923. He took FRCS in 1926, graduated BCh two years later and obtained the MChir in 1932. While at St George's he was awarded the Allingham Scholarship in surgery in 1925 and the Sir Francis Laking Research Scholarship in 1928-29 and again in 1929-30. He held the usual junior surgical appointments including that of assistant curator of the Museum.

In 1932 he was appointed to the consultant staff of St George's Hospital. He was also consultant to the Royal Chest and the Belgrave Children's Hospitals, and general surgeon to the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital. Later his interests centered on genito-urinary surgery and he served on the Council of the British Association of Urological Surgeons, and later President of the Section of Urology of the Royal Society of Medicine in 1960-61.

He was Dean of the Medical School from 1936-1956. His work as Dean was interrupted by the outbreak of second world war and he left his hospital career to serve in the RAMC 1940-1946, first as Lieutenant-Colonel in charge of a surgical division, stationed for some time at Freetown, and later as Brigadier and consultant to the 14th Army, South-East Asia Command. He was appointed CBE in 1946. On demobilization he returned to his duties as Dean and surgeon to the hospital.

In 1946 he found a position in which the future of school and hospital were both uncertain. A new site for the rebuilding of the hospital was bring sought and was finally designated by the Ministry of Health at Tooting in South London. The new project however, had to be phased, and the site being some distance from the parent hospital at Hyde Park Corner presented problems of transport and accommodation for the students and of a division of duties for the teachers. He played an invaluable part in overcoming these difficulties. Synchronously he pursued a policy of academic development within the school. In this sphere he was the driving force behind the gradual evolution of a series of new university departments and their associated academic staffs, appointments which were later to become chairs, first in pathology and its allied subjects, and afterwards in medicine and surgery.

In 1956 he relinquished his office as Dean and became the first director of the surgical unit.

At the Royal College of Surgeons he was a Member, and for two years Chairman, of the Court of Examiners.

In 1962 at the age of sixty-four he started a new career as professor of surgery in the University of Khartoum. He was knighted in 1969. He died in Khartoum from coronary thrombosis on 25th August 1969, at the age of seventy-one.
