Sir Bertram Windle, F.R.S

Abstract

IT is with deep regret that we record the death of Sir Bertram Windle, professor of anthropology in St. Michael's College, University of Toronto, which took place in Toronto on Feb. 14. Bertram Coghill Alan Windle was born on May 8, 1858, the son of the Rev. S. A. Windle, vicar of Market Rasen, Lincolnshire. He was educated at- Kingstown and Repton schools, and had a distinguished career at the University of Dublin, where he graduated M.D. and D.Sc. He was for a time Dean of the Medical Faculty and professor of anatomy and anthropology at the University of Birmingham. He afterwards became professor of archaeology in University College, Cork, of which he was appointed president in 1904, holding this office from 1904 until 1919, when he went to Toronto. During his residence in Ireland he was extremely active in educational and other affairs, with results that were not always conducive to his tranquillity of mind.
