William Alister Alexander (1890-1976)

MB, FRCPEdin.

Physician

Seventh President of the Society, 1964-66 Honorary President of the Society, 1975
First Treasurer, 1948-69

His financial wizardry steered our Society successfully through some lean periods. In 1953 he received the unique honour of being elected Honorary President of the Royal Medical Society, its highest honour and one to which only Sir Byrom Bramwell had previously been elected. This was a just reward for his many years of sterling service to that Society as its Honorary Treasurer.
