George Buchanan, MD, LRCS (1827 – 1905) was a Scottish surgeon.
|
Life
George Buchanan, born at Glasgow on 29 March 1827, was son of Moses Steven Buchanan (1796 – 1860) and Agnes Leechman, his wife. The father, who was surgeon to the Royal Infirmary and lecturer on anatomy in the Portland Street Medical School from 1836 to 1841, was appointed in the latter year Professor of Anatomy in the Andersonian University.
|
George was educated at the University of Glasgow, where he graduated MA in 1846. Three years later, after studying under his father and others at the Andersonian University, he became MD St. Andrews and LRCS Edinburgh, and in 1852 Fellow of the Royal Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow. In early life he allowed the advantages of chloroform anaesthesia to be demonstrated upon himself, his father being the operator. He began to practise in Glasgow, but in 1856 went to the Crimea as a civil surgeon. He returned to Glasgow at the end of the war, and was one of the first to practise there purely as a consulting surgeon. In 1860, when he succeeded his father as Professor of Anatomy in the Andersonian University, he was also appointed surgeon to the Glasgow Royal Infirmary. There he had as a colleague Joseph Lister (afterwards Lord Lister), who was led by the prevalence of septic diseases in the wards to the great work of his life the introduction of the antiseptic method of wound treatment. Buchanan thus had the earliest opportunity of becoming acquainted with methods whereby the practice of surgery was revolutionised. He soon became known as a bold and skilful operator and as a good teacher. He first pointed out (1865 and 1867) the possibility and safety of removing half the tongue in cases of cancer. He was amongst the earlier surgeons to remove the upper jaw (1864 and 1869). He gave reasons for preferring lithotrity to lithotomy in operating for stone in the adult male (1868) and he was the first (1863) to perform ovariotomy successfully in the west of Scotland. When the Western Infirmary was opened he was transferred thither, and held the post of Professor of Clinical Surgery from 1874 until 1900, when he retired with the title of Emeritus Professor of Clinical Surgery in the University of Glasgow and settled at Stirling. There he died on 19 April 1905.
|
He married Jessie, daughter of Patrick Blair of Irvine, and left one son, Dr. G. Burnside Buchanan, assistant surgeon to the Western Infirmary, Glasgow.
|
Buchanan published Camp Life as seen by a Civilian (Glasgow, 1871), and he re-edited and largely rewrote (Sir) Erasmus Wilson's Anatomist's Vade Mecum (London, 1873; 2nd edit. 1880).

Lady Elizabeth Philippa Biddulph (, Yorke, after first marriage, Adeane, after second marriage, Biddulph; 15 November 1834 – January 1916) was an English humanitarian and temperance leader. She published a biography of her father, Charles Yorke, 4th Earl of Hardwicke, and was appointed a Woman of the Bedchamber by Queen Victoria.
|
Early life
Lady Elizabeth (nickname, "Lady Libbet") Philippa Yorke was born in England, 15 November 1834. She was a daughter and eldest child of the Charles Yorke, 4th Earl of Hardwicke, and Susan, sixth daughter of Thomas Liddell, 1st Baron Ravensworth. Until her marriage, she lived at Wimpole Hall and was her father's constant companion, sharing in his interests, political and other, including his love of the sea. Her relationships constituted a large social circle, including her mother and her mother's sisters, Lady Normanby, Lady Barrington, and Lady Bloomfield.
|
Career
In 1860, she married Henry John Adeane, M.P., of Babraham Hall, Cambridgeshire. The couple traveled abroad, and her knowledge of foreign languages, especially of French, which she spoke faultlessly, made foreign travel and society agreeable to her. Italy, she visited more than once with her husband, and after his death; but France was the country of her preference.
|
After being widowed in 1870, and left to care for their three children, including a son, Charles, Lady Elizabeth was appointed a Woman of the Bedchamber by Queen Victoria, who showed her constant kindness, and Lady Elizabeth was present at all the impressive ceremonies, such as the two Jubilees and the marriage of the King and Queen, which marked the closing years of the Queen's reign. She also spent time with her circle of friends, rich and poor. Holidays were enjoyed at Wimpole or at Sydney Lodge, Hamble-le-Rice, the other home of her family on Southampton Water, built her her grandfather, Admiral Sir Joseph Sydney Yorke.
|
Although brought up in Tory surroundings, Lady Elizabeth was by nature liberal and broadminded. Her work in Bethnal Green in the early 1870s, she lived mainly in London, gave her opportunity to see the life and temptations of the poor. Of these, she was always of the opinion that alcohol consumption was the worst.
|
In 1877, she married Michael Biddulph, afterward Baron Biddulph of Ledbury, Herefordshire, a member of the banking firm of Cocks, Biddulph, and Co., London. Mr. Biddulph was raised to the peerage in 1903. Of this marriage, there were no children.
|
Lady Elizabeth was led to join a temperance society in Ledbury through the unwillingness of her physician, the eminent Sir Andrew Clark, to prescribe alcoholic stimulants for her during an attack of illness. His prescription of total abstinence resulted in such positive benefit that she took the total-abstinence pledge and put on the blue ribbon, becoming an active worker in the cause of temperance reform. She was soon afterward elected president of the Ledbury Temperance Union. She also united with the Rechabites and the Good Templars. During 1896-98, she was president of the Women's Total Abstinence Union.
|
Besides her activities in the temperance cause, Lady Elizabeth devoted much of her time to the relief of the poor, and the promotion of various movements for the better care of the sick and dependent classes. She was a patron of the Ledbury Cottage Hospital.
|
In 1910, she published a biography of her father, Charles Philip Yorke, fourth Earl of Hardwicke : a memoir by his daughter, the Lady Biddulph of Ledbury.
|
Personal life
Lady Elizabeth was a member of the Royal Order of Victoria and Albert.
|
She died at her London home in January 1916. Burial was at the churchyard of Babraham Hall.

David Talbot Day (10 September 1859 – 15 April 1925) was an American chemist and geologist who analyzed petroleum resources, and particularly the extraction of minerals from oil shale. He established the Mineral Resources Division of the US Geological Survey where he pioneered petrochemical fractionation and analysis using chromatographic techniques.

Day was born in East Rockport (Lakewood), Ohio where his father Willard Gibson was a minister in the Swedenborgian Church. His mother was Caroline Cathcart. The family moved to Baltimore where Day went to school before joining Johns Hopkins University. He graduated AB in 1881 and took an interest in chemistry, studying under Ira C. Remsen. He received a PhD in 1884 for studies on "Changes Effected by Heat in the Constitution of Ethylene". He took an interest in minerals and examined them for the US Geological Survey but joined the organization formally only in 1885 when he succeeded Albert Williams, Jr. He was in-charge of the exhibition on petrochemicals at the Chicago World's Fair (1893) and the Paris World Fair (1900).

Siegfried Wagner (3 March 1925 - 2 August 2001) was an East German party official who served as chairman of the Arts and Culture Committee of the Party Central Committee. In view of the highly centralised nature of the Leninist political power structure under which the country was administered, that position may have been of greater importance than his office as a government minister, In any event, reflecting the importance attached to culture and the arts by the government, he was a relatively high-profile political member of the East German arts establishment through the 1970s and 1980s. Starting during the 1970s he was also listed the books of the Ministry for State Security as an "Inoffizieller Mitarbeiter" (IM), providing secret reports on colleagues and others of interest to the country's vast "Stasi" homeland security department under his code name, "IM Meister".
