Abstract
ZOOLOGICAL teaching in the broadest sense, including animal physiology, was given a new impetus in Oxford by the completion of the University Museum about 1860, in Cambridge by the inspiring personality and administrative power of Michael Foster. The Oxford Museum, owing its existence to the prophetic vision and untiring efforts of Henry Acland, in alliance with the genius of Ruskin, began its work with George Rolleston as the forceful and arresting head of the “Linacre Department of Human and Comparative Anatomy and Physiology”, the parent of four separate Departments—Zoology and Comparative Anatomy, Human Anatomy, Animal Physiology, and Anthropology.
