The Hunterian Professorship, named after John Hunter, is the title awarded to a surgeon who is elected to deliver the Hunterian lecture at the Royal College of Surgeons of England (RCSE).[1] According to British surgeon Harold Ellis, the list of Hunterian professors reflects the history of British surgery.[1]
History
On 13 June 1803, the trustees of the Hunterian Collection met for the first time at the then newly titled RCSE. Clause 2 stated:
That one course of lectures, not less than 24 in number, on comparative anatomy and other subjects, illustrated by the preparations, should be given every year by some Member of the Company.[1]
In 1894, the Clause was revised:
That one course of lectures, not less than 12 in number, on comparative anatomy and other subjects, illustrated by preparations from the Hungarian Collection and the other contents of the Museum, shall be given every year by the Fellows or Members of the College.[1]
The rules were altered in 1961 with the addition of:
Additional lectures, not exceeding three in number, on medical or dental subjects, may be given every year by the Fellows or members of the College, Fellows in Dental Surgery or Fellows in the Faculty of Anaesthetists.[1]
