Abstract:
The correspondence is reported of Sir George Newman, the first Chief Medical Officer of the United Kingdom, during his school and university education. Extracts are included of this hitherto unpublished correspondence with his family members. His conception of idealistic service to the community, first enunciated in his school days, was expanded by practical action as a medical student among the urban poor of the Cowgate, Edinburgh. The correspondence reveals his unmarried maternal aunt as the person who influenced him most.
