Dr. Gerald F. Yeo, F.R.S.

Abstract

THROUGH the death of Dr. Gerald F. Yeo, Emeritus professor of King's College, London, physiology has lost within a few weeks yet another of those men who, within the last thirty years, materially assisted in the creation of a British school of this science, which, though of late development compared with Continental schools, has grown with a rapidity and vigour equalled only by the advances made on the bacteriological side of pathology. In the foundation of the Physiological Society, which at first included hardly a score of members, Yeo took an active part, being its honorary secretary for fifteen years from 1874 to 1890.
