Abstract
The first and last in a series are said to be atypical. This can certainly be said of the beginning of the research activity for which the College became responsible. There were almost no precedents, little tradition of research existed, published work was minimal except from the pens of exceptional general practitioners of the calibre of Budd, Huxham, Jenner, Mackenzie and Pickles, who committed their own ideas to paper, producing original work of a highly individual and personal character.
Ian Watson died on June 3 1979 just after he had completed his share of this chapter.
