Abstract
GEORGE LIGHTBODY MONTGOMERY has been appointed to the St. Mungo-Notman chair of pathology (associated with the Royal Infirmary, Glasgow) in succession to Prof. John W. S. Blacklock, who has moved to St. Bartholomew‘s Hospital, London. Prof. Montgomery graduated at Glasgow (M.B., Ch.B., 1928 ; M.D., 1946), and also holds the Ph.D. degree of the University of St. Andrews (1936). After holding appointments at Glasgow Royal Infirmary, in 1931 he became lecturer in clinical pathology at St. Andrews and assistant pathologist at Dundee Royal Infirmary. Since 1937 he has been Gardiner research lecturer in the pathology of disease in infancy and childhood in the University of Glasgow, and pathologist at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children, Yorkhill. During almost the whole of the War he served on the Directorate of Pathology at home, in the Central Mediterranean and in South-East Asia. His researches include work on the renal function in various morbid states, on diseases of childhood (with special reference to non-tubercular infections of the lung), and on the healing of lung injuries. He has recently taken part in the trials of streptomycin carried out by the Medical Research Council.
