Dr. Francis Hugh Adam Marshall, C.B.E., F.R.S came to Christ's in 1896 after a short time at University College, London, and took the Natural Sciences Tripos. Inspired by the work of Walter Heape in Cambridge on sex physiology, he then worked with Prof. Cossar Ewart in Edinburgh, who at that time was conducting his well-known experiments on telegony in farm animals at Penicuik. Here he started his research career and worked in conjunction with Sir Edward Sharpey Shafer. During this time he published many valuable papers on the cestrous cycle of various animals including the "The Ovary as an Organ of Internal Secretion". This paper led to large developments in this field later. The University of Edinburgh honoured him with a D.Sc. and later with an LL.D. degree, and he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh.
