Abstract
“He does not die, who can bequeath some influence to the land he knows.” How well these words of Belloc apply to Dr. Margaret Tod, whose death on July 26 will not have ended her influence on radiotherapy, nor on those privileged to have known and worked with her. Miss Tod qualified in medicine in Edinburgh in 1924, gaining the Ettles scholarship for the most distinguished student of the year, and being the first woman ever to receive this honour. In 1927 she became a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons, Edinburgh. After some further surgical experience she took her Diploma in Radiology, and entered the field of radiotherapy, which was to become her life work.
