Abstract
ON December 22, Prof. George Alfred Buckmaster died at the age of seventy-eight years. Buckmaster was one of the last of the great teachers of physiology of the late Victorian and Edwardian times, who in their teaching regarded physiology as the handmaiden of medicine. He was educated at Magdalen College, Oxford, where he held a demyship ; he took a first class in the Natural Science Schools in 1881, and in the following year was elected to the Burdett-Coutts University scholarship in geology. He received his medical education at St. George's Hospital, qualifying in 1883, took his Oxford M.B. in 1885, and his M.D. in 1887. He also held the Radcliffe travelling fellowship and continued his studies in various German universities.
