| | Alexander Monro, secundus (www.whonamedit.com) |
 | | Alexander Monro, secundus, trained in anatomy by his father, was perhaps the greatest of the three Monros and, like his father, was a gifted and popular teacher as well as a distinguished physician. |
 | | After only one session of this arrangement Monro primus petitioned the town council, the patrons of the university, to appoint his son joint professor of anatomy, and his request was backed by a certificate from the students of his son’s evening class testifying to their satisfaction with his teaching. |
 | | His course started with a detailed history of anatomy and proceeded to anatomy itself, beginning with the bones; then came physiology, and finally the operations of surgery. |
