He was an outstanding scholar of anatomy and appointed Croonian lecturer at the Royal Society of London in 1860. In 1875 he was appointed Chandos professor of medicine and anatomy and dean of the medical faculty in the University of St Andrews. In 1877 he was elected by the universities of Glasgow and St Andrews to represent them on the General Medical Council. St Andrews University’s Bute Medical Building has been home to the Bell Pettigrew Museum since 1912. This is a museum of natural history displaying fossils, skeletons, taxidermy and spirit collections, taking visitors on a journey through the animal kingdom. <p>If you want to learn more about James Bell Pettigrew, visit <a href="https://www.curious-sta.org/the-bell-pettigrew-museum/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>.</p> Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource amm60 Europeana Specific elements of the Europeana Semantic Elements.

At 18 years old, he matriculated and attended the University of St Andrews. While he was there, he worked under Professor Thomas Purdie; himself a notable Scottish chemist who is widely credited with founding the School of Chemistry at the University of St Andrews. <p>Sir James Irvine was notably the Principal of St Andrews for over three decades – from 1920 to 1952. During his tenure as president, he oversaw an extensive modernisation of the university, earning him the moniker “St Andrews’ Second Founder”. <p>In his early days as principal, the University of St Andrews was suffering from a noticeable lack of suitable buildings and equipment designed for the pursuit of scientific inquiry. Not to mention the relatively small number of students and precarious financial position. It is down to Irvine’s dedication to St Andrews and his hard work that the university is where it is today. <p>If you want to learn more about James Irvine, visit <a href="https://www.curious-sta.org/irvine-building/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>.</p> Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource amm60 Europeana Specific elements of the Europeana Semantic Elements.

He spent seven years of his youth in South America, where he the abundance of flora and fauna captured his attention, arousing a spirit of inquiry that remained for the rest of his life. He returned to Scotland later in life. It was a conversation with Thomas Henry Huxley that convinced him to pursue a scientific education. <p>Purdie was elected to the vacant chair at St Andrews in 1884. At the time, the university could only offer cramped accommodation, imperfect equipment and the small matter that Chemistry had no official place in the curriculum. These circumstances did not faze Thomas Purdie whatsoever, as he worked to found the School of Chemistry in the university. <p>His work at St Andrews was influential, and he is described as someone who devoted himself to developing the characters of his students much more than converting them into chemists. He was also instrumental in founding a “research school” in St Andrews, when he presented to the University a fully equipped research laboratory. <p>If you want to learn more about Thomas Purdie, visit <a href="https://www.curious-sta.org/purdie-building/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>.</p> Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource amm60 Spatial Coverage Spatial characteristics of the resource. current,56.33944786153726,-2.811092378542526; Europeana Specific elements of the Europeana Semantic Elements.

He was one of the first to claim that Physical Laws are affecting the characteristics of living beings.
