Hours About Use Collection ... Home Library Collection Books Artifacts Manuscripts Books The collection of books and periodicals on sport fish and sport fishing was moved to Woodward Library from the Main Library in 1978. A substantial number of these books was bought with funds provided by the Harry Hawthorn Foundation , and also with monies given as a memorial to Leon Ladner, a long-time member of the Foundation. The bulk of this collection is shelved in the Woodward Library stack area but selected items have been housed in a cabinet in the Sherrington Room. This cabinet is designed as a memorial to the late Roderick Haig-Brown of Campbell River, British Columbia, author, magistrate, sportsman, and conservationist. Back to Top Artifacts While there is nothing resembling a museum in the Memorial Room area, there is a modest collection of artifacts. Notable among these are infant feeders, largely the gift of Miss Alice Wright of Vancouver. There are some sets of older surgical instruments and a few nineteenth century microscopes and pharmaceutical kits. Back to Top Manuscripts Of particular interest are autographed letters of Charles Darwin, Florence Nightingale, John Burdon-Sanderson, and Sir Charles Scott Sherrington. There is a display of some memorabilia of Sir Charles Scott Sherrington in the Sherrington Room.

Neurology from 1900-1909 Kenneth L. Tyler, MD The first decade of the 20th Century (1900-1909) saw dramatic changes and advances in virtually every aspect of neurology. The basic science framework for neurology was solidified by fundamental advances in neurophysiology, led by Sir Charles Sherrington and his collaborators. Sir Charles Scott Sherrington Sir Charles Scott Sherrington shown as a young man was a pre-eminent neurophysiologist of the first decade of the 20th Century. The Integrative Action of the Nervous System , published in 1906, was a landmark in the history of science. Sherrington received the Nobel Prize in 1932 for physiology. Equally important advances were made in the study of the histology and pathology of the nervous system by Ramon y Cajal and others. Santiago Ramón y Cajal (1852-1934) This photograph of Santiago Ramón y Cajal was taken in 1899 at the time of his visit to the United States to lecture a the Decennial Celebration of Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts. Cajal shared the Nobel Prize in 1906 with Golgi for his work on the structure of the nervous system. He was instrumental in providing clear histological proof that nerve cells were discrete cellular units whose processes were interconnected at synapses ("neuron doctrine") rather than through a continuous reticular net. Cajal's illustration of the giant pyramidal cells (A,B) from the motor cortex of a 20 day old infant shown here are from his lecture at Clark University in 1899.

Charles Scott Sherrington Sir Charles Scott Sherrington November 27 March 4 ) was a British scientist known for his contributions to physiology and neuroscience . He shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Edgar Douglas Adrian for their work with neurons Research Sherrington used reflexes in the spinal cord as a way of investigating the general properties of neurons and the nervous system . These experiments led him to postulate "Sherrington's Law," which states that for every neural activation of a muscle , there is a corresponding inhibition of the opposing muscle. Sherrington is also known for his study of the synapse , a word which he coined for the then-theoretical connecting point of neurons. One of Sherrington's students, John Carew Eccles later won the Nobel Prize in for his work on the synapse. Other neuroscience research done by Sherrington investigated proprioception and the neural control of posture In addition to the nervous system, Sherrington studied a number of pressing medical issues of his time. In he went to Spain to investigate an outbreak of cholera and met Santiago Ramon y Cajal there. He also learned techniques in

Charles Scott Sherrington was born on November 27, 1857, at Islington, London. He was the son of James Norton Sherrington, of Caister, Great Yarmouth, who died when Sherrington was a young child. Sherrington's mother later married Dr. Caleb Rose of Ipswich, a good classical scholar and a noted archaeologist, whose interest in the English artists of the Norwich School no doubt gave Sherrington the interest in art that he retained throughout his life. In 1876 Sherrington began medical studies at St. Thomas's Hospital and in 1878 passed the primary examination of the Royal College of Surgeons, and a year later the primary examination for the Fellowship of that College. After a short stay at Edinburgh he went, in 1879, to Cambridge as a noncollegiate student studying physiology under Michael Foster, and in 1880 entered Gonville and Caius College there. In 1881 he attended a medical congress in London at which Sir Michael Foster discussed the work of Sir Charles Bell and others on the experimental study of the functions of nerves that was then being done in England and elsewhere in Europe. At this congress controversy arose about the effects of excisions of parts of the cortex of the brains of dogs and monkeys done by Ferrier and Goltz of Strasbourg. Subsequently, Sherrington worked on this problem in Cambridge with Langley, and with him published, in 1884, a paper on it. In this manner Sherrington was introduced to the neurological work to which he afterwards devoted his life. In 1883 Sherrington became Demonstrator of Anatomy at Cambridge under Professor Sir George Humphrey, and during the winter session of 1883-1884 at St. Thomas's Hospital he demonstrated histology.

SIR CHARLES SHERRINGTON 1857-1952 1932 Joint Nobel Laureate in Medicine with E D (later Lord) Adrian. Sir Charles Scott Sherrington and Edgar Douglas Adrian received the Nobel Prize "for their discoveries regarding the function of neurons." Sherrington performed early studies of the physiology of reflexes in the spinal cord, and he is credited with naming the junctions between neurons "synapses." Adrian and his co-workers postulated the "all or none law." This theory states that a stimulus is either too weak to provoke the discharge of an action potential, or the stimulus evokes an impulse that travels down the axon independently of further stimulation. After receiving his medical qualification from Cambridge and St Thomas’ Hospital, he moved to Liverpool in 1895. As Holt Professor of Physiology spending 16 happy and productive years in the city until he left in 1907 to become Waynflete Professor of Physiology at Oxford. He was President of the Royal Society from 1920 to 1925, in the latter year becoming a member of the Order of Merit. Sherrington had wide interests outside his work; he was a book collector and a lover of art, music and drama. He was recently described by a leading scientist as, "the great pioneer physiologist of the first half of this century."

RAGNAR GRANIT Ragnar Arthur Granit was born on 30th October 1900 in the then Parish of Helsinki into the family of forestry officer Arthur Wilhelm Granit (born 1871) and his wife Bertie Granit (born 1878). The Granit family is originally from Korppoo. The family home for over 100 years was in Vikminne in Korpoström. Ragnar Granit's grandfather was a sea captain. During Ragnar's childhood his father looked after his silviculture firm in Helsinki and the family lived in Oulunkylä. Ragnar b. 1900, Greta b. 1902, Ingrid b. 1905 Ragnar Granit's childhood home at Helsinki Ragnar went to school in Helsinki in the Swedish Normallyceum and passed the matriculation examination in 1919. After matriculation Ragnar first considered starting law studies and in fact took summer courses in 1919 at Åbo Akademi University in philosophy and Finnish legal language. The summer course in philosophy had a strong orientation towards psychology and this latter subject completely captivated him. His uncle, Lars Ringbom, who had a well-developed knowledge of human nature, remarked on this while on a stroll with the young Ragnar around the Cathedral neighbourhood and along the banks of the river. He said to Ragnar: "Det är lönlöst att ägna sig åt psykologi om man inte har en läkares utbildning eller åtminstone skaffat sig djupgående kunskap i biologi." ("It's useless to devote oneself to psychology if one does not have a doctor's training or at least a deep knowledge of biology.") And so Ragnar finally chose to study medicine.
