Sir Henry Greenway Howse Шаблон:Post-nominals (21 December 1841 – 15 September 1914)[1] was an English surgeon, sometime President of the Royal College of Surgeons.[2]
Life
Henry Greenway Howse was born in Lyncombe Hall,[3] Bath (England) to Henry Edward Howse and Isabella Howse (née Weald).[4] He entered an apprenticeship in Reading at age 18 before commencing training at Guy's Hospital at age 20.[1]
He had subsequent appointments at London University as a demonstrator in anatomy, before returning to Guy's as a member of staff as a surgery lecturer.
In 1881 he married a Miss Marshall, daughter of Thomas Lethbridge Marshall (a Unitarian minister at the New Gravel Pit Chapel); they subsequently had three daughters and one son.
His contributions include the development of new methods for preserving anatomical specimens for teaching (using a mixture of glycerine and arsenic), introducing histology (rather than just gross anatomy) as a part of the training for surgeons, propagating the antiseptic methods of Lister and knee surgery, although his surgical practice was very broad. He wasn't a prolific author, but did write entries for Heath's Dictionary of Practical Surgery[5] and as an Editor for Guy's Hospital Reports.[1]
For the Royal College of Surgeons he was Vice-president (1897–1900) then President (1901–1903). He was knighted in the 1902 Coronation Honours list,[6] receiving the accolade from King Edward VII at Buckingham Palace on 24 October that year.[7]
