"Origins of Rheology: a short historical excursion"〕 ==Life== Scott Blair was born 23 July 1902, in Weybridge〔(The Scott Blair Collection )〕 and went to Winchester College.〔P.

In 1931 Markus Reiner visited Scott Blair in England beginning a long friendship.〔 In 1936 he submitted his PhD thesis to the University of London.〔 In 1940, along with Vernon Harrison, he founded the British Rheologists' Club, later to become the British Society of Rheology http://bsr.org.uk.
