Alexander Monro
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Three generations of distinguished Scots physicians — grandfather, father, and son — were all called Alexander Monro. Together they held the professorship of anatomy at the University of Edinburgh continuously for 126 years.
To distinguish them, were subsequently called:
- Alexander Monro primus (1697 – 1767)
- Alexander Monro secundus (1733 – 1817)
- Alexander Monro tertius (1773 – 1859)
Donald, the elder son of primus, was also a distinguished physician.
There was also an Alexander Munro (educator) who was the Principal of Edinburgh University from 1685 to 1690.
