Abstract
SIR THOMAS MUIR, who died at Rondebosch, South Africa, on March 21, 1934, was born on August 25, 1844, at Stonebyres, Lanarkshire, and educated at Wishaw public school and the University of Glasgow. Muir showed equal ability at classics and mathematics, but was persuaded by Kelvin (who influenced him profoundly) to devote himself to the latter.
