  Hugh Cairns, 1st Earl Cairns - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hugh Cairns was the second son, and was educated at Belfast Academy and at Trinity College, Dublin, graduating with a senior moderatorship in classics in 1838.
In 1858 Cairns was appointed Solicitor-General and was knighted, and in May of that year made two of his most brilliant and best-remembered speeches in the House of Commons.
Cairns was a great lawyer, with an immense grasp of first principles and the power to express them; his judgments taking the form of luminous expositions or treatises upon the law governing the case before him, rather than of controversial discussions of the arguments adduced by counsel or of analysis of his own reasons.

 BBC - WW2 People's War - Oxford Military Hospital (Head Injuries) - A1145387
For the duration of World War II, St. Hugh’s College, which is one of the Colleges which constitutes the University of Oxford and was then for women only, was requisitioned and became a military hospital specialising in head injuries.
Hugh Cairns, the eminent neurosurgeon, realised that the quicker head wounds were treated, the better the prognosis for the patient, and from St. Hugh’s he sent out Mobile Neurosurgical Units, which performed operations on the injured as close as possible to the battlefront.
Athough St. Hugh’s, uniquely for a College library, contains all the medical records for every patient, including X-rays, etc. from the neurosurgical units at the front, these are not available for consultation by anyone other than a genuine medical researcher in the appropriate field.
