After a distinguished career in forest conservation in West Africa, Charles Taylor returned in 1954 to the University of Edinburgh, retiring in 1979 as Professor of Forestry. Across the world, he will be remembered by hundreds of graduates whom he advised as their Director of Studies and welcomed to his home but, arguably, his lasting legacy is in the field of technical education below university level. He possessed great strength of character, a man of principle and clarity of purpose, coupled with wisdom, promptness of action and decisiveness. Read more about Charles Taylor
George Taylor was born on 15 February 1904. Although his parents had strong Ayrshire connections he himself was brought up in Edinburgh. He had a very deep affection for his mother but his relationship with his father was more circumspect. It was based upon an admiration of his father's skill as a decorator well versed in the art of gilding which regrettably didn't win him continuous employment. He learnt from his father to be meticulous, one of the abiding features of Sir George. The notes of many of his speeches, starting in 1927 when he was President of the Biological Society, Edinburgh University, were always written in capitals on pieces of paper of exactly the same size. He clearly thought that if something was worth doing it was worth doing properly. His speeches to prize winning students, retiring members of staff, Portobello Bowling Club or Dundee Angling Club were prepared with as much care as those delivered on more august occasions as when in 1963 he was admitted an Honorary Freeman of the Worshipful Company of Gardeners.

FROM BEING a 14-year-old school leaver from Bellahouston Academy in Glasgow who had lost his father in France at the age of three in the First World War, to chairmanships of the Forestry Commission and the Scottish Railways Board and membership of the international board of Morgan Grenfell and House of Lords select committees, Tom Taylor's journey was one of constructive achievement. Having to earn a living at 14, he became an office boy in the Scottish Co-Operative Wholesale Society, then the biggest commercial organisation in Scotland; he was eventually to become its president.

The newly enlarged and splendid Royal Museum of Scotland owes much to the vision of Norman Tebble during the years 1971-1984 when he was Director of what was then the Royal Scottish Museum. Clear minded and forceful, he quickly set about ensuring an out of date institution met the needs of the times. This ability was evident much earlier when he had taken over a dusty and disordered Mollusca Section of the British Museum (Natural History) and thereafter when he was curator of the zoological collections of Oxford University. He was a very able and effective administrator as well as being a first class systematist. Read more about Norman Tebble
John Michael Tedder, second Baron Tedder of Glenguin, Purdie Professor of Chemistry, University of St Andrews (1969-89; Emeritus 1989-94), was born in London on 4 July 1926. He was the second son of Marshal of the RAF Arthur William Tedder, the first Baron (created 1946) and Rosalinde (née Maclardy) and the grandson of Sir Arthur John Tedder who, as Commissioner of the Board of Customs had been the chief architect of the Old Age Pension Scheme. Daunting footsteps indeed to follow, but - after attempting to join the Air Force while still under age, and rejected because of his poor hearing and eyesight - John wisely chose the very different field of science.

David Tedford will be best remembered for his many contributions to Scotland and the University of Strathclyde. However, two things stand out most vividly. Firstly, he was a very good natured and genuine person who was generous, some would say over-generous, with his time to others. Secondly, he was a distinguished visionary academic who recognised at a very early stage that for a university to be truly successful it had to have strong collaborative relationships nationally and internationally. These features in turn guided his actions throughout his life. Read more about David Tedford
Dr Harold J Thomas, who died on 14th February 2007, was a Senior Principal Scientific Officer at the Marine Laboratory in Aberdeen where he was Head of the Shellfish Team on his retirement in 1976. His early education was at the Crypt School, Gloucestershire, from where he went to the University of Bristol, graduating BSc in 1936 with Honours in Zoology, and gaining a PhD there in 1939. He volunteered for military service in the Royal Corps of Signals in 1939, being later transferred to the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers. On demobilization in 1945, he returned to the staff of the University of Bristol, and was, among other things, sub-warden in the University Hostel of Burwalls. Read more about Harold James Thomas
Lord Thomson of Monifieth (George) was born in Stirling but moved when quite young to Monifieth near Dundee and attended Grove Academy. He proved to be an excellent scholar but left school at 16 to become a local reporter with D C Thomson in Dundee. This well-established firm published a range of newspapers in Scotland but were also famous as the originators of the comics The Dandy and The Beano which then had circulations of over 400,000. George became the deputy editor of the Dandy and then editor for a brief period when he was only 18. In 1940 he enlisted in the Royal Air Force and served as ground crew for Fighter Command (defective eyesight precluded a role in the flight crew). On returning in 1946 to DC Thomson, he came into conflict with the management over his right to join a trade union and he left them to become deputy editor in Glasgow of Forward, an independent weekly socialist newspaper founded by the future Secretary of State for Scotland, Tom Johnston, and edited by him until 1940. Read more about Lord Thomson of Monifieth
Sam Thomson first developed his interest in science, and chemistry in particular, when as a pupil at Hamilton Academy, he was stimulated by his science master, whom he has described as the best and most profound teacher under whom he studied. This interest was further developed as an undergraduate at Glasgow University where he pursued a B.Sc.(Honours) degree in chemistry. His studies at Glasgow were interrupted for three years when, in 1943, he volunteered for service in the army; he was commissioned in 1944 and served as a lieutenant in the Royal Signals in India and Malaya. On his return from the army in 1946 he completed his B.Sc. degree and then proceeded to study for a Ph.D.. Here he developed his early interest in heterogeneous catalysis.

Alexander Todd was one of the country's most distinguished organic chemists. His great contribution to the chemistry of natural products of metabolic importance was equalled by his role in determining science policy and in higher education. In much of his scientific research he was the leader of a group or groups in which he played a key part in day to day discussions with those involved, and his contribution was a major factor in the success of the work. His intuitive skills and management ability were equally effective outside the laboratory where he played an influential part as a member of many research funding bodies. He was in great demand on government advisory councils and in industrial circles on both research and higher educational matters. Read more about Baron Todd of Trumpington
Patrick Tollin, an internationally recognised physicist and crystallographer, died in Monifieth on 21 March 2006. Patrick was born in Glasgow on 22 April 1938. He was educated at St Aloysius' College, Glasgow, Glasgow University and Cambridge University (Fitzwilliam House). At St Aloysius' College he took the University of Glasgow Bursary Competition and was awarded a bursary to go to the university in 1955. Patrick participated fully in university life as a prominent member of The Cecilian Society as stage manager for the Society's annual Gilbert and Sullivan productions – a skill and interest he had first developed at St Aloysius'.

T. F. TORRANCE was one of the most capable and widely influential Scottish divines of the second half of the twentieth century. Possessed of seemingly limitless drive and industry, he deployed his energies over a long and remarkably full career in a number of spheres. He was an authoritative exponent of Christian doctrine, a pioneer in the conversation between theology and the natural sciences, a senior figure in the Church of Scotland and in the international ecumenical movement, and the animateur of all manner of scholarly and collaborative projects. To all his activities he brought the same qualities which characterise his prodigious literary output: concentration, seriousness of purpose, acute intelligence, decisiveness and vivid Christian conviction.

Born in Falkirk on 30 December 1906, George was the son of Peter Trapp and his wife, Jane. His early years at Falkirk High School laid the basis for his outstanding academic career and furnished him with a lifetime of happy memories. When he left school in 1924, it was to spend the next nine months in the Foundry Technical Institute, Falkirk, where he acquired a keen interest in theoretical and practical metallurgical chemistry. And he was to continue to work during his vacations at the Camelon Iron Foundry under the supervision of his father, who was Chief Engineer. When he matriculated at the University of Glasgow in 1925, however, it was in the School of Botany where he proved himself to be 'an excellent student, intelligent, keen and capable'. He graduated MA in 1929 and BSc(Hons) in 1930. For the next two years he embarked on research and was elected, by the University, Exhibitioner to the British Association for the Advancement of Science, and awarded the Dobbie Smith Gold Medal. Already he was showing signs of being an excellent teacher – he acted as demonstrator to various colleges of students and is remembered for his 'pleasing personality'. It was perhaps a foregone conclusion that in 1932 he entered Moray House College of Education in Edinburgh and was awarded the Diploma in Education with distinction a year later. He resumed his scientific research at the University of Glasgow and gained a PhD in 1934. The results of his research were published in the American Journal Phytopathology, in the Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, and in the Transactions of the British Mycological Society.

David Prestwich Tunstall joined the University of St Andrews as a Lecturer in Physics on 1 January 1966. Previously he had studied at the University College of North Wales in Bangor, where in 1959 he graduated with a First Class Honours BSc in Physics, being placed at the top of his year. He remained at Bangor to do a PhD in "Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Relaxation in Solids" under the supervision of Professor E. R. Andrew. On graduating in April 1963, he first spent a year on a Varian Fellowship in Zurich, and then in 1964 went on to the University of Grenoble as a researcher where he continued his studies in NMR before coming to St Andrews. St Andrews was to remain his base and NMR was to remain the major theme of his research throughout the rest of his career. His ability to combine innovative experimental research with insightful analysis based on an exceptional mathematical ability resulted in him becoming widely acknowledged as a world authority on NMR and Ultralow Temperature Physics. With Dr F. A. Rushworth, a colleague in the Department, he co-authored the book "Nuclear Magnetic Resonance", which was published in 1973 and which went on to became a seminal text in the field. His career in St Andrews flourished, and in 1975 he was appointed as Senior Lecturer and in 1978 as Reader. Read more about David Tunstall
Johnnie Buchan, second Baron Tweedsmuir, might have stepped full-grown out of his father's imagination. Handsome, brave and kind, cunning with his hands, a brilliant fisherman and naturalist, a gallant soldier and fine writer of English, an explorer, colonial administrator and man of business, he should by rights have remained in one of John Buchan's romances. Indeed, he is commemorated in The Island of Sheep (1936) as the boy who saves a dangerous situation because he knows that pink-footed geese, when disturbed, move towards, rather than away from, the intruder; and his father's posthumous masterpiece Sick Heart River (1940) crackles with Johnnie's descriptions of overwintering at Cape Dorset.

Receiving the horrible news that you have cancer should immediately take your mind to one place and one place only–recovery. The following paragraphs cover cancer advice, from treatment techniques to tips that help you shore up your support network, all designed to prepare you for beating cancer.
Figuring out what's going on before it happens can help when dealing with cancer. The best way to detect cancer early is to talk with your doctor about a regular schedule for the appropriate tests, which are able to find cancer long before you have any symptoms. You can also do regular at home exams on yourself to detect changes in your body in areas that are prone to cancer like testes or breasts. The more often you check yourself the better you will be at noticing any differences.
To beat cancer, finding it early is essential. You should visit your doctor regularly for tests that can catch cancer early. For cancers like breast cancer and testicle cancer, you can perform self-exams to determine if there are any unusual masses that should be shown to your doctor.
Skin cancer is probably the most common type of cancer and is usually a direct result of unprotected sun exposure. Applying sunscreen is a must and using protective clothing, like a hat, is very effective for prevention.
It's essential to get enough exercise, and to be on a healthy diet, to reduce the cancer risks. Get plenty of veggies and fruits, drink water, and do a minimum of 30 minutes of exercise a day to ward off cancer and live a better life.
The best defense against cancer is to be familiar with the symptoms of the different types, such as colon cancer. Rapid and unexplained loss of weight, blood in your feces and thin stools along with cramping are common signs of cancer in the colon. Any indication of symptoms like these should send you straight to the doctor for tests.
Exercising is a good way to fight cancer. Exercise gets the blood flowing in your body. Keeping your blood pumping through your body will enhance the treatments you receive by moving them to all the places they need to go quickly.
If you have a family member who has been diagnosed with cancer, consider attending their doctor's appointments with them. When there's someone who has a level headed outlook on the situation in the near area, it is always a good thing when addressing the doctor with any concerns.
Always have a voice for yourself and don't be afraid to use it when you need to be heard. A lot of people have ideas about cancer that are outdated and might raise questions about how you can do your job. Think in advance about how you will react to these kinds of questions, and when they come up, deal with them immediately. This will aid the overall response you receive from people while you are coping with cancer.
Reading cancer-related books, journals, or magazines can be helpful. It is crucial to have confidence when you have cancer.
You can dramatically lower your chances of getting colon cancer by about 40% through regular exercise. People who get a regular amount of exercise are healthier, and tend to have lower rates of diseases such as diabetes which can lead to cancer. Try to stay active.
The way someone actually interacts with you may not meet your expectations for what would happen when you asked for support. Have appreciation for all support you get.
It is a well known fact that fish such as salmon is a healthy food choice. However, are you aware that salmon is packed with healthy omega-3 fatty acids? These properties have been linked to cancer prevention. Incorporating wild salmon into your diet can help fight against cancer-causing cells.
Don't let anyone mislead you into thinking that alcohol prevents cancer. However, wine may help, seeing as it is made from grapes. Drinking too much alcohol will increase the risk of cancer.
When you are diagnosed with cancer, there are some things that you need to accept. Prepare yourself now to fight the good fight.
Seal your playset or deck if it was created prior to 2005. A large portion of the boards that went into constructing these items contained a pesticide that contained arsenic, a known carcinogen. Applying a sealant prevents children from touching the arsenic.
What you think will happen may in fact not happen. Take comfort in every ounce of support that is given to you.
If someone close to you has cancer, accompany them on their doctor's visits. Talk to their doctor about any questions or concerns you might have. By having your questions answered, you will be better informed and hence, better able to provide support.
Remember, communication is the key. If you feel the support from your friends and family is not sufficient, speak with them directly about this subject. Give them a patient explanation of how they can assist you and why it's important to do so. Be cautious, however. This time is difficult. Use those around you that love you as support beams. Do not regret anything!
Get the daily recommended milligrams of vitamin E. Vitamin E, consumed as recommended, has been proven to prevent cancer. You can find many delicious foods rich in the proper levels of vitamin E that you can include in your diet.
Don't be afraid to fight. Remember what you are fighting for – your life. Never accept less than a victory when fighting cancer, and you might be surprised by how much your resilience affects and aids your battle.
Whether you had a recent cancer diagnosis or if you've been fighting it a while, you might want to get into a support group. You can talk to fellow sufferers about how they cope with cancer, both mentally and physically. You can also take your family members here too.
Being an active partner in developing your cancer treatment plan is the most effective way to help your doctors recommend what is right for you. Do not allow yourself to become just an uninformed subject in each medical procedure. This is not the approach you should take to improve your health.
If you are close to someone who has cancer, you should remember how important it is to continue to treat him or her the same as before. Cancer patients need all the positive energy from the loved ones as they can get, and when people feel sorry for them, they tend to feel bad about themselves.
Consuming large amounts of alcohol will not prevent cancer. The properties of red wine have led to an increase in popularity as an anti-cancer food. Drinking too much alcohol will increase the risk of cancer.
Confide in your friends family when you learn of your diagnosis. They can offer help and support better than anyone. You will end up feeling lonely if you decide to fight cancer on your own. A good support system is absolutely necessary. By maintaining open communication, you can facilitate a stronger, more effective relationship with members of your support group.
One important thing to consider is using sealant on any wood structures that were built before 2005. The wood on older decks and playsets were exposed to pesticides that contained arsenic–a toxic chemical that can be fatal to your family. Not only is arsenic poisonous when ingested, but exposure to this chemical can increase your risks of getting certain types of cancer.
Stay out of the sun around noontime, specifically between 10am and 3pm. Do all of your outdoor activities before or after those hours, and you can significantly reduce cancer-causing sun damage.
Be open and honest with your family and friends about your diagnosis. You should avoid pushing people away by seeming strong. Cancer is a scary diagnosis, and you will need a strong support system while undergoing treatment. An open line of communication can forge a powerful connection between you and your loved ones that will benefit everyone involved.
Make sure you remember to have some fun. Just because you have been diagnosed with cancer does not mean that you are not allowed to have fun. Continue to do things you love to do, whether it's reading, watching movies or going to sporting events. Naturally, you might need to be more careful about pacing yourself to avoid overdoing it, but you may be surprised at how much you can still do with some planning.
Ask questions of medical professionals as you enter treatment. You should understand the why and wherefore of each treatment, and how it will affect your body. This prepared mindset will help you to deal with the side effects of your treatments. If you will lose your hair due to chemotherapy, discuss options like getting a wig with those who have gone through it before you.
The rules of sleep have not changed: get, as a minimum, eight hours a night. Your body will probably get exhausted and severely stressed from cancer treatments. If you are getting a good night's sleep, it gives your body the best chance of healing in a quick manner, while also providing you with much needed energy each day. If you must, set up a daily nap time.
You should always remember to have fun. You don't have to (and shouldn't) completely change your lifestyle just because you have cancer. Take time to enjoy activities that you truly love, such as seeing more plays, practicing your favorite craft or going to sporting events. While you may have to take extra precautions to avoid letting these activities become too taxing, you still have to make an effort to keep your life eventful and rewarding.
Always pay attention to the way your body is feeling. When your body tells you to get rest, lay down and rest. If you're feeling a lack of energy, make changes to your diet to incorporate more healthy foods. Listening to your body can be a very effective way of maintaining the energy you need to fight cancer.
There are foods that help in the battle with cancer. For example, the lycopene in tomatoes is helpful in warding off prostate cancer. There are studies that support this as being fact.
While some tests will determine whether cancer is present, others can help to prevent cancer before it develops. Time is of the essence, and therefore you need to take the initiative and undergo all necessary screenings.
If you are dealing with cancer, you might want to take your entertainment into your bedroom. If your bedroom has previously been off-limits to television, then you need to rethink that policy. Throughout your treatment you will find many times where you're confined to your bed or so tired you just want to be comfortable. This can help the time go by as you try to get better.
One of the best things that you can do for a loved one who has been diagnosed with cancer is to say "I love you" often. Your actions can show them love, but don't forget to tell them, too. Doing so reminds them that you care for them and want everything to work out.
Do not engage in risky behaviors. Some behaviors increase the chances of infections that can lead to various forms of cancer. Don't share needles and always practice safe sex when involved in intimate relations.
If diarrhea is one of the side effects you are suffering from your cancer treatments, you may have to give up those cherished cups of coffee. While caffeine has the ability to keep you awake, it can also make diarrhea a lot worse. Along these lines, it is wise to discontinue use of all types of caffeine while in treatment to eliminate your diarrhea.
It doesn't matter what method of fighting you choose. The goal is always the same: to beat cancer. While medicine can offer physical treatment, emotional solace will not be found using this method.
You should not engage in behaviors that are considered to be risky. Some behaviors increase the chances of infections that can lead to various forms of cancer. Do not share your needles with others and participate in safe sex.
