Edinburgh Pathological Club

Hide Profile

The Edinburgh Pathological Club was founded in 1886 by Sir John Batty Tuke, for the purpose of 'discussing subjects connected with pathology'. The 25 members met monthly to read and discuss short papers, and topics tended to cover medical subjects other than merely pathology. In December 1954 the Club had its 500th meeting, where it was announced that Dr A.W.G. Clark of West Lothian had bequeathed over 5,000 to the Club for 'lectures on cancer'. In 1966, when Douglas Guthrie wrote his History of the Club, membership had risen to 265.
