The Regius Professorship of Pathology is a Regius Chair in medicine at the University of Aberdeen. It was funded by Sir Erasmus Wilson in 1882.[1] Once it was created, the crown declared its interest and it became a Regius Chair.[2] It was originally known as the Regius Wilson Chair, a name used up to at least 1972.[3] During the middle of the 20th century, it served as the head of the Department of Pathology at the university, however from the 1980s administrative responsibilities began to be removed, 1995 NHS consultants took over the role as head of department.[4]
In 1882, a commemorative publication in honour of the centernary of the department was made by the holder at the time, Alexander Logie Stalker, and his colleague G.B. Scott.[5]
