Summer schools are traditionally used to encourage sixth form students to consider a career in medicine. Is it worth attracting students earlier in their school career, concentrating on psychiatry? Wyke et al describe an innovative project attempting to do just that.

Clifford Copland Paterson was born on 17 October 1879 at Stoke Newington, and was the son of Frederick Paterson, a tanner and leather merchant. In 1892, after attending a private school near his home, he entered Mill Hill, then under the headmastership of McClure, later Sir John; he went on the modern side and specialized in the study of engineering and physics. Though he reached the sixth form and gained prizes for French and German, his school career seems, on the whole, to have been undistinguished and to have given little promise of the outstanding ability that was to develop later. After leaving Mill Hill in 1896, Paterson embarked on a comprehensive training, both theoretical and practical, in general and electrical engineering. He first spent a year at Finsbury Technical College and then served a general engineering apprenticeship with Messrs George Wailes and Company of London, and subsequently with Messrs Mirrlees, Watson and Company of Glasgow. In 1901 he entered Faraday House, under Alexander Russell, as a special studentassistant in the Testing Department. Shortly after, he published, jointly with Russell, his first paper, which dealt with sparking in switches. The general adoption, about this time, of higher supply voltages made the rating of switches for use in direct current lighting circuits a matter of pressing importance. Widely different ratings were being given by different makers for switches of substantially the same size and length of break. The primary object of the work was therefore to determine detailed relations between current, voltage and the resulting spark length, so as to enable manufacturers to predict the behaviour of their switches under various conditions.

Stanley Smith Cook was born at Canterbury on 25 January 1875, and was the second of three sons of William Henry Cook and his wife, Martha Marsh Smith, both well-known residents of Canterbury. As a boy he was educated, primarily, at a Church School in Canterbury, and in 1889, at the age of fourteen and three-quarters, proved his ability by winning in competition a scholarship which enabled him to enter the King’s School of that city. In his first year he won a Form Prize and the Lower School Arithmetic Prize, and was consistently at or near the top of his form all through his school career. He was made a Senior King’s Scholar in July 1890, and reached the Sixth Form in the following year being then only sixteen years of age. While he did well in French and at times in classics, he made mathematics and chemistry his principal studies, and on more than one occasion scored full marks in mathematics in his examinations. In his last term he won the Mitchinson Prize for mathematics, the School’s premier award in that subject. On the result of examinations held in December 1892, he was awarded an Open Minor Scholarship in Mathematics at St John’s College, Cambridge, and went into residence in the Michaelmas Term, 1893, to read for the Mathematical Tripos. In June 1895, on the results of College Examinations, he was elected into a Foundation Mathematical Scholarship, and was also awarded the College Herschel Prize for Astronomy. Cook had hoped ultimately to be appointed a professor of mathematics, but while sitting for his Mathematical Tripos in 1896 he became ill, and was unable to complete his papers. He still, however, came out as Seventh Wrangler and graduated.

John Stanley Gardiner was born 24 January 1872, in Belfast, the younger son of the two children of the Reverend John Jephson Gardiner of Trinity College, Dublin. His father became Rector of Black Torrington, in Devonshire, a pleasant country village with a nearby trout-stream where the young Gardiner acquired an early love of fishing which remained with him throughout his life. Here he also became a reasonably good shot which proved of value to him when on his expeditions abroad, whether for the collection of specimens or for food. There is no record of his first schooling which begins with his entry in January 1885 to Marlborough College. Here, although he won a prize for English literature and one for science and a laboratory prize, he did not have an outstanding school career in the strict scholastic sense and did not reach the sixth form. On the other hand it was at Marlborough that the seeds of his future career as a zoologist were sown, as is shown by the steady stream of notes, observations and papers read, labelled J. S. G., in the Reports of the School Natural History Society which he joined in 1887, in which year he won the ‘Stanton’ prize for ornithology and also compiled a list of the birds of the district. In 1888 he was elected a member of the committee of the Society.
