Welcome to the thirteenth edition of the Alumnus Association newsletter. I very much hope that you continue to enjoy this more interactive format.
In this edition of the newsletter our interview is with Dr Gordon Plant and Dr Laura Silveira-Moriyama. We have an obituary for Miss Pat Harris, a book review by Professor Michael Trimble of 'Mentored by a Madman: The William Burroughs Experiment', news from the Institute and updates from the archives.
I would like to highlight that old editions of the Queen Square Alumnus Association newsletter produced by Miss Pat Harris, are available in PDF format on the Queen Square Alumni website https://www.ucl.ac.uk/ion/education/alumnusassociation/archivenewsletters. I would also like to draw your attention to the work in progress that is the Institute of Neurology History pages http://www.ucl.ac.uk/ion/about/history as well as highlighting the new official history of Queen Square. As part of the project we will be adding a brief biography of notable former staff and students, and are starting with (in no particular order) William Gowers, Hughlings Jackson, David Ferrier, Victor Horsley, MacDonald Critchley, David Marsden, Anita Harding, John Marshall, Pat Harris, Louise Shepherd, Roger Gilliatt, Sister Ling, Charles Symonds, James Risien Russel & Kinnier Wilson. As always feedback is greatly appreciated and don't hesitate to get in touch with suggestions.
I would like to thank the following people, without whom this edition of the newsletter would not have been possible; Dr Plant and Dr Silveria-Moriyama for their interviews; Professor Michael Trimble for his book review; Mrs Marilyn Blundred for her attention to detail in proof reading this edition; Ms Sarah Lawson and Mr George Kaim for Queen Square Library and Archive material, and the Queen Square Library for photographs used in this edition.
I hope you enjoy reading the thirteenth edition of the Queen Square Alumnus Association newsletter.
