Abstract

CIDNEY MARTIN, the second son of the late John Ewers Martin, was born in Jamaica in 1860, and he entered University College, London, in 1876, where he was a fellow-student and contemporary with Victor Horsley, Halliburton, and Frederick Mott. At this time many medical students at University College laid a sure foundation for their subsequent medical studies by following an extended course of instruction in biology, chemistry and physics, and Martin was one of these. He took his degree in science at the University of London in 1878, being especially attracted to biology, largely owing to the stimulating influence of that inspiring teacher, Sir E. Ray Lankester. Afterwards, during his medical studies, he came under the influence of the late Sir John Burdon Sanderson, then Jodrell professor of physiology, who was not only a physiologist but also an experimental pathologist.
