	Clan Ramsay
		William's son, also William de Ramsay, was a member of the Council of Magnates of the Realm in 1255 and in 1260.
		Sir Alexander, the elder son, was Warden of the Middle Marshes, in command of men of Lothian, and one of the Regent's chief commanders at Borough Muir, where England's ally, the Flemish Army, was defeated.
		Sir William Douglas was so outraged by the appointments, that he sought revenge by capturing Sir Alexander and imprisoning him in the dungeon of Hermitage Castle where he was left to starve.

	Biographies of Sir William M. Ramsay -- by J.G.C. Anderson
		RAMSAY, SIR WILLIAM MITCHELL (1851-1939), classical scholar and archaeologist and the foremost authority of his day on the topography, antiquities, and history of Asia Minor in ancient times, was born in Glasgow 15 March 1851, the Youngest son of Thomas Ramsay, by his wife, Jane, daughter of William Mitchell, both of Alloa.
		Ramsay was knighted in 1906 and received many academic distinctions: three honorary fellowships of Oxford colleges (Exeter, 1898, Lincoln, 1899, and St. John's, 1912) and honorary degrees from six British universities and from New York, Bordeaux, and Marburg.
		Ramsay's title to distinction is the immense advance, based upon a rich harvest of new evidence, which he achieved in the knowledge of the geography and topography of Asia Minor and of its political, social, and cultural (including religious) history.

	Sir William Ramsay
		Yet another discovery of Ramsay (in conjunction with Professor Frederick Soddy), the importance of which it was impossible to foresee, was the detection of helium in the emanations of radium (1903).
		In 1904, Ramsay was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry "for his discovery of the inert gaseous elements in air, and his determination of their place in the Periodic system".
		Ramsay modestly ascribed his success in isolating the rare gases to his large flat thumb which could close the end of eudiometer tubes full of mercury.

	William Ramsay Summary
		Ramsay, the only child of a civil engineer, was supposed to become a minister, but his interest in science led him to enter the field of organic chemistry, earning a Ph.D. in 1872.
		The first two decades of William Ramsay's career were spent on a variety of comparatively insignificant studies, including work on the alkaloids, water loss in salts, the solubility of gases in solids, and a class of organic compounds known as the diketones.
		Ramsay and Rayleigh's joint announcement of this discovery to the Royal Society of London created a sensation, since the new element showed no chemical activity and did not fit into the existing pattern of the recently established periodic table.

	Sir Patrick Geddes + Sir William Ramsay + Sir Edward Burnett Tylor
		Ramsay found a home at London's University College, where other Freethinking professors taught, and even his Christian biographer, W.A. Tilden, has to admit that Ramsay was an Agnostic.
		Sir William Ramsay received the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1904, "in recognition of his services in the discovery of the inert gaseous elements in air, and his determination of their place in the periodic system." Ramsay was elected a fellow of the Royal Society in 1888 and was knighted in 1902.
		Finally, it was on this date, October 2, 1832, that British anthropologist Sir Edward Burnett Tylor, regarded as the father of cultural anthropology, was born in London, the son of a Quaker.

		William Ramsay (1852–1916) is known for work that established a whole new group in the periodic table—variously called over time inert, rare, or noble gases.
		Ramsay began his studies in his native city of Glasgow and completed a doctorate in chemistry at Tübingen, focusing on organic chemistry.
		In 1892 Ramsay's curiosity was piqued by Lord Rayleigh's observation that the density of nitrogen extracted from the air was always greater than nitrogen released from various chemical compounds.

		William Ramsay is known for work that established a whole new group in the periodic table—variously called over time inert, rare, or noble gases.
		In the last decade of the nineteenth century he and the famous physicist Lord Rayleigh (John William Strutt, 1842-1919)—already known for his work on sound, light, and other electromagnetic radiation—carried out separate investigations, for which they received Nobel Prizes in 1904, Ramsay in chemistry and Lord Rayleigh in physics.
		Ramsay then set about looking for an unknown gas in air of greater density, which—when he found it—he named argon.

		This observation was explained a century later when Ramsay and Lord Rayleigh (John William Strutt) discovered and characterized a new element, argon, in the air.
		Ramsay went on to discover others of the Group VIII elements, helium, neon, krypton and xenon, and received the 1904 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
		Ramsay learned the art of glass blowing which enabled him to construct the specialized laboratory equipment needed for his exacting research.
