Stephen Roodhouse Gloyne

Stephen Roodhouse Gloyne (24 December 1882 – 25 September 1950) was an English pathologist who worked at the London Chest Hospital from 1911 to 1948. There he built up the pathology department almost from scratch. He kept a large animal house, was director of the Barnes Research Department, and expanded the specimen collection started by Peacock. In 1941, during the Second World War, all but 18 of the 400 specimens in the collection were destroyed, causing Gloyne to comment that his life's work had gone up in smoke.[1]

He wrote a biography of the Scottish surgeon John Hunter.[2]

gollark: Rednet actually did gain some neat features around... was it 1.6?
gollark: In ye olden times, there was only `rednet` and it was uninterceptable and unspoofable and all. Fortunately, we have raw modem now.
gollark: The modem API is the actual good low-level interface, rednet is a wrapper to maintain compatibility with older programs made when it was the low-level interface.
