Quain Professor is the professorship title for certain disciplines at University College, London, England. The title is derived from Richard Quain (1800-1887) who became professor of anatomy in 1832 at what was to become UCL. He made a provision in his will to the University that endowed professorships for four subjects; intending that funding gave recognition to his brother, John Richard Quain, as well as his own. The Burhop prize for Physics, Applied Physics or Mathematics/Physics is also drawn from these funds.〔'Money' University College London (website) 2010. (burhop )〕 The Quain professorships are of Botany, English language and literature, Jurisprudence, and Physics. ==Botany== *Francis Wall Oliver (1890-1925) *Edward J.
