3D Scan of Hunter Medal Cast

Description

c. 1849

Plaster cast of William Hunter Medal, awarded to any life science student at the University of Glasgow for distinction in their field.

William Hunter was born in East Kilbride in 1718, and was a famous physician of the 18th century. He studied medicine at the University of Glasgow and was taught by William Cullen, a former president of the RCPSG. He then moved to London for further training, eventually specialising in obstetrics. Hunter was one of the first male midwives in the UK, a practice which until then had been reserved for women only, and his publication "The Anatomy of the Gravid Uterus Exhibited in Figures" can be found within the College's library collection.

Portrait of William Hunter (1718-1783)

Description

Bust-length against a dark background. According to Gibson 1983 this portrait is a copy of part of the original by Sir Joshua Reynolds in the Hunterian Museum.

William Hunter began his career as an apprentice to William Cullen in Hamilton in 1737. He continued his studies in Edinburgh and then London. It was here that he established himself as an anatomist and man-midwife.

He graduated MD from the University of Glasgow in 1750 and became an Honorary Member of the Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow.

Hunter was an avid collector throughout his life and donated his collections of books, coins, and anatomical specimens to the University of Glasgow, which now make up the Hunterian collections.
