Draft:Regius Professor of Pathology
Professorship at the University of Aberdeen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Regius Professorship of Pathology is a Regius Chair in medicine at the University of Aberdeen. It was funded by English surgeon Sir Erasmus Wilson with £10,000 in 1882, who had been convinced to do so by William Pirrie.[1][2] Once it was created, the crown declared its interest, and it became a Regius Chair.[3] It was originally known as the Regius Wilson Chair, a name that was used at least until 1972.[4] During the middle of the 20th century, its holder served as the head of the Department of Pathology at the university, however, beginning in the 1980s, administrative responsibilities began to be removed, and in 1995 NHS consultants took over the role as head of the department.[5]

In 1982, a commemorative publication in honour of the centernary of the department was made by the holder at the time, Alexander Logie Stalker, and his colleague G.B. Scott.[6]
