英国“植物学Regius教授席位”与两位古植物学家

本期《古植物学的故事》首先介绍英国和爱尔兰“Regius教授席位”的基本情况，然后介绍剑桥大学和Glasgow大学的植物学“Regius教授席位”和古植物学家等情况，从中我们可以看到某种很有趣的学术传承。考虑到阅读的方便，我将相关资料和链接直接放入文内。

一、何为“Regius教授席位”？

在英国和爱尔兰某些很古老的大学里设立了“Regius教授席位”，参见：

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regius_Professor

Regius Professorships are "royal" professorships at the ancient universities of the United Kingdom and Ireland - namely Oxford, Cambridge, St Andrews, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Dublin. Each of the chairs was created by a monarch, and each appointment, save those at Dublin, is approved by the Crown. Glasgow currently has the highest number of extant Regius chairs, at twelve.

The Regius Professorships can be found in:

二、英国剑桥大学的植物学“Regius教授席位”与古植物学家

2009年剑桥大学将“植物学教授席位”改称“植物学Regius教授席位”。

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regius_Professor_of_Botany_(Cambridge)

The chair of the Professor of Botany at the University of Cambridge was founded by the university in 1724. In 2009 the chair was renamed the Regius Professor of Botany.

Professors of Botany

Richard Bradley (1724)

John Martyn (1733)

Thomas Martyn (1762)

John Stevens Henslow (1825)

Charles Cardale Babington (1861)

Harry Marshall Ward (1895)

Albert Charles Seward (1906)

Frederick Tom Brooks (1936)

George Edward Briggs (1948)

Harry Godwin (1960)

Percy Wragg Brian (1968)

Richard Gilbert West (1977)

Thomas ap Rees (1991)

Roger Allen Leigh (1998)

Sir David Baulcombe (2007)

Regius Professors

Sir David Baulcombe (2009)

达尔文（Charles Robert Darwin，1809 –1882)的老师John Stevens Henslow (1796 --1861)于1825年开始担任剑桥大学植物学教授。

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Stevens_Henslow

现代古植物学的一代宗师Albert Charles Seward (1863--1941) 于1906年开始担任剑桥大学植物学教授。

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Charles_Seward

中国著名古植物学家徐仁先生（1910--1992）是Albert Charles Seward的学生—Birbal Sahni (1891--1949)的学生。按照学术辈分，Albert Charles Seward是徐仁的“师爷”。

三、英国Glasgow大学的植物学“Regius教授席位”与古植物学家

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regius_Professor_of_Botany,_Glasgow

University of Glasgow

The Regius Chair of Botany at Glasgow University is a Regius Professorship established in 1818.

A lectureship in botany had been founded in 1704. From 1718 to 1818, the subject was combined with Anatomy. The chair was founded in 1818 by King George III.

Regius Professors of Botany

For 1718-1818, see: Regius Professor of Anatomy

Robert Graham MD (1818)

Sir William Jackson Hooker MA LLD DCL FRS (1820)

John Hutton Balfour MA MD (1841)

George Arnott Walker Arnott MA LLD, Advocate (1845)

Alexander Dickson MA MD (1868)

Sir Isaac Bayley Balfour MA MD DSc FRS (1879)

Frederick Orpen Bower MA ScD LLD FRS (1885)

James Montague Frank Drummond MA (1925)

John Walton MA DSc ScD D-es-Sc LLD (1930)

Percy Wragg Brian BA PhD DPhil (1963)

John Harrison Burnett MA DPhil (1968)

Malcolm Barrett Wilkins PhD DSc FRSE (1970)

Michael Robert Blatt BSc PhD FRSE (2001)

Sir William Jackson Hooker （1785--1865）是现代植物学的一位大师，人们习惯称他为“老Hooker”。1820年，“老Hooker”开始在Glasgow大学担任植物学“Regius教授”。

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Jackson_Hooker

Sir William Jackson Hooker的儿子叫Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker（1817--1911）。人们习惯称Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker为“小Hooker”。“小Hooker”也是现代植物学的一位大师。

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Dalton_Hooker

1851年“小Hooker”与达尔文老师John Stevens Henslow的女儿Frances Harriet Henslow (1825–1874) 结婚，可谓是门当户对。

我想，很少有人会知道Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker对地质学和古植物学甚感兴趣。1855年，“小Hooker”与著名地质学家和古植物学Edward William Binney (1812-1881)合作发表了一篇研究论文，首次研究了植物化石的重要研究材料—煤核（coal balls）。他们是研究煤核植物化石的先驱。直到1979年，西方人才知道中国地区已发现煤核植物化石。

著名古植物学家John Walton(1895-1971)于1930年开始在Glasgow大学担任植物学“Regius教授”。John Walton是Albert Charles Seward的学生。

1928年John Walton在NATURE等刊物上撰文介绍他发明的“撕片法”（cellulose acetate peel）。这种方法可应用于大型石化材料（如：煤核）的解剖学研究，这是John Walton为推动现代古植物学研究所做出的最重要贡献。
