He devoted him self especially to vertebrate palaeontology. He organized the collecting, arrangement, and study of the great series of fossil vertebrates in the American Museum of Natural History, New York, and left many pupils to continue the various researches which he began. Osborn was born at Fairfield, Connecticut, on 8 August, 1857, and received his scientific training at Princeton College (afterwards University), where he graduated in 1877. Thence he proceeded to New York, where he studied human anatomy and histology under Professor William H. Welch; and in 1879—80 he followed a course in embryology under F. M. Balfour at Cambridge, and attended lectures on comparative anatomy by Huxley in London. He returned to Princeton with a biological fellowship, and in 1881 was appointed Assistant Professor of Natural science. In 1883 he became Professor of Comparative Anatomy, and occupied the chair at Princeton until 1891. Under the inspiration of James McCosh at Princeton and F. M. Balfour at Cambridge, Osborn started investigations in psychology and embryology, and published some of his results; but he and his fellow student W. B. Scott (afterwards Professor of Geology at Princeton) soon became more fascinated by the remarkable discoveries of extinct vertebrates by Cope and Marsh in the rocks of the western United States, and they decided that the study of fossils should be their life-work.","PeriodicalId":113125,"journal":{"name":"Obituary Notices of Fellows of The Royal Society (1932-1954)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1936-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122362280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For quite two generations past he, by his keen advocacy, ardent enthusiasm, and devotion in the search for truth had been a leading pillar of the scientific community in Australasia. But his good works were not confined merely to the realm of science, for his charming personality and deep concern in the national welfare carried him to well-deserved heights in public estimation. Attributes of his greatness were an endearing charm of manner and a nobility of mind embodying high Christian principles. He was an accomplished scholar plentifully endowed with fine instinct and broad vision. In his public utterances the richness of his inner self was often revealed as on the occasion, a year or so before his death, when at Sydney University, the doctorate of Science was conferred upon him ; in acknowledging the honour, he said, “ . . . one thing I will stand to, and that is, that all who earnestly pursue truth will find glory and loveliness in this universe, and in human hearts : a glory and a loveliness that manifest the beneficent working of an unseen Power.”","PeriodicalId":113125,"journal":{"name":"Obituary Notices of Fellows of The Royal Society (1932-1954)","volume":"122 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1935-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122647047","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Eve","doi":"10.1098/RSBM.1935.0022","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1098/RSBM.1935.0022","url":null,"abstract":"There are men so strong and outstanding in character and appearance that even death is unable to efface their personality. Lord Rutherford, who. was a personal friend of Sir John McLennan for many years, justly wrote: “If the details only could be obtained, an epic story could be written of the rise of McLennan from a demonstrator in a small and badly equipped laboratory in Toronto to the Directorship of a great research laboratory in Physics in that University and the acknowledged leader of Science in Canada.” The debt of Canada to Scotland can never be adequately expressed. John Cunningham McLennan was born on April 14, 1867, at Ingersoll in Ontario. His father, David, sprang from a race of farmers in the County of Aberdeen, while his mother, Barbara Cunningham, came from an Ayrshire family which from time to time “included an occasional minister.” It would, however, be a mistake to consider McLennan as purely a Scot, because from his earliest days Canada had impressed upon him her mark. His education began at Clinton High School in Huron County, whence he passed in 1883 the matriculation for his provincial university. He did not, however, enter the University of Toronto until 1888, and the five intervening years were passed at teaching at schools in the County of Perth and in studying mathematics at the Stratford Collegiate Institute under Dr. A. H. McDougall, afterwards Principal of the Ottawa Collegiate Institute. There were great teachers in those days and this period of teaching, of study, of contact with a powerful personality exercised “the greatest formative influence on his early intellectual life.” McLennan was older than most undergraduates when he entered the University of Toronto (1888), and he was twenty-five years old when he graduated (1892), with first class honours and head of his class, in the Physics division of the Mathematical and Physics Honours course.","PeriodicalId":113125,"journal":{"name":"Obituary Notices of Fellows of The Royal Society (1932-1954)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1935-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131462057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thorpe","doi":"10.1098/RSBM.1935.0015","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1098/RSBM.1935.0015","url":null,"abstract":"The death of Herbert Brereton Baker severs one more link connecting the chemical investigators of the later Victorian age with those of to-day, for, although he worked for fully thirty years after the Victorian age had passed, he must, nevertheless, be included in that age mainly because his methods were characteristic of the period and quite foreign to more modern methods with which, indeed, he had little sympathy. Thoroughness was his watchword and he never published his work until he had assured himself that the details of the phenomenon he described was correct in every particular. He adhered to the Newtonian principles and applied them with meticulous care. He was born on June 25, 1862, and was the second son of the Rev. John Baker, who was then Curate in Charge of Livesey, near Blackburn. In early life he suffered from ill-health and it was probably this weakness which made the child a student because he could read before he was four years of age, and at the age of ten had read most of the books in his father’s library. His elder brother Charles, afterwards for forty years science master at Shrewsbury, was of a more vigorous constitution and the two boys, then attending the Blackburn Grammar School, were partners in many adventures. It was their parent’s wish that they should go to Oxford and as there seemed no prospect of a classical scholarship, they were transferred to the science side of the Manchester Grammar School where they came into contact with that best of all teachers, Francis Jones. Neither thereafter ever looked back ; Charles obtained a post-mastership at Merton and Herbert a scholarship at Balliol. Each had a Bracken - bury Scholarship in addition. At Oxford Baker’s tutor was H. B. Dixon, and the enthusiasm for investigation which Dixon possessed in an eminent degree was communicated to his pupil. After taking his first class in Natural Science, Baker was appointed demonstrator at Balliol and private assistant to Dixon.","PeriodicalId":113125,"journal":{"name":"Obituary Notices of Fellows of The Royal Society (1932-1954)","volume":"108 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1935-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132415419","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
