Charles Robertshaw Marshall

Charles Robertshaw Marshall (born December 25, 1869 in Bradford , † April 2, 1952 ) was a British physiologist and from 1919 to 1930 Regius Professor of Materia Medica and Therapeutics at the University of Aberdeen .

Life

Marshall was born the eldest son of Henry Marshall and his wife Mary Evelene in Bradford. He received his medical training at Owens College, now part of the University of Manchester . In 1892 he graduated with MBBCh (Victoria), followed in 1899 with MD with distinction.

He was a physician at the Royal Infirmary in Manchester from 1892 to 1895 and was a Research Fellow in Pharmacology at Owens College. In 1894 he was appointed assistant professor to the Downing Professor of Medicine at the University of Cambridge under Professor John Buckley Bradbury . There he was awarded an honorary MA as a member of Downing College .

In 1899, Marshall became Professor of Materia Medica at the University College of the University of Dundee and the University of St. Andrews . In fact, Marshall had already been given a promise in an interview in 1898. However, a small but powerful minority was able to prevail and William Henry de Wytt was appointed instead of Marshalls. But it turned out that de Wytt was wanted by the police. After his resignation , Marshall took over the professorship.

In 1919, Marshall was appointed Regius Professor of Materia Medica at the University of Aberdeen. He held this professorship until September 30, 1930 when he retired to his retirement home in Burley-in-Wharfdale in Yorkshire .

Professionally, Marshall was respected and respected as the administrator of his chair. In addition, he was a good teacher in his field. Marshall knew both his specialist area and the areas of application and was able to convey very differentiated usable knowledge and avoid the unnecessary. In lectures, for example, he left the origin of some drugs in the dark and did not insist on conveying botanical regulations.

In 1899 Marshall became a member of the Physiological Society. Early publications in the Society's journal dealt with the pharmacological effects of nitrites , digitalis and chlorohydrins . In 1904 a treatise on the alkaloids of the Jaborandi leaves followed. From 1906 to 09 further articles followed, but also articles in other publications.

Marshall wrote two books, the Textbook of Material Medica (1905) and Manual of Prescribing (1907). He contributed several articles to Hale White's Pharmacology and Therapeutics . The publications expose Marshall as a scientist in the transition from materia medica to modern pharmacology. It was rooted in the Materia Medica, but has already done a lot to remove superstition from the subject. His successor in the office of Downing Professor was Walter Ernest Dixon , one of the first experimental pharmacologists and like Marshall also a physiologist.

Honors

Marshall was honored with an LLD from the University of St. Andrews in 1922 and an LLD from the University of Aberdeen in 1931.
