Abstract
THE career of Sir Thomas Peter Anderson Stuart has few parallels in medical or other annals His student career in Edinburgh under Turner, Rutherford, and Lister was brilliant; his building and organisation of the Sydney school, and what they provoked, form a university romance of the first order. Dean for thirty-six years, he dominated medical history in Australia in a manner that few, if any, individuals will-ever be able to imitate. During that period the number of students in medicine increased from four to nearly; one thousand; and for this apotheosis of his department Anderson Stuart planned and built. Without [ any demerit to the brilliance of assistants in his faculty I or to the capacity of men in other faculties of the [University of Sydney, it is no exaggeration to state [that that phenomenon was the offspring of Anderson [Stuart's imagination and the fruition of his consummate? scheming and effective individual manoeuvre.
