Obituary from the BMJ of 5 April 199
Alexander Colin Patton Campbell

Procter professor of pathology Manchester 1950-73 (b Londonderry 1908; q Edinburgh 1930; FRCPE, FRCPath), died on 19 November 1996 of continuing cerebral damage after a subdural haematoma. His intention had been for a clinical career, but he soon realised that the basis for understanding disease was pathology and he joined the department in Edinburgh. Colin also worked with Aschoff in Freiburg and later with Wislocki and Cobb at Harvard. He returned to Edinburgh with an interest in neuropathology, carrying out important research into cerebral blood flow and the role of B vitamins in Wernicke's encepha lopathy. As dean of Manchester medical school he was involved not only in creating a new curriculum but also in building the largest medical school in Europe. This brought in almost all the peripheral hospitals in the region for the clinical attachment of students, and Campbell was able to see this exhausting business through because clinicians and academics both saw him as an honest broker in the inevitable battles for power. Nevertheless, even when exhausted by long planning days he never left the department, still doing his stint of biopsy reporting (relaxing he called it), attending all the review sessions, and always the annual outing and dinner at some pub in the hills, for which he generously provided the wine. It was always red; I doubt if he drank any other. He liked his coffee black with lots of brown sugar, which he spooned from the cup having disposed quickly of the fluid. After retirement he became first director of studies at the Royal College of Pathologists, visiting, inspecting, and advising on training programmes at over 150 hospitals from Aberdeen to Truro, and even Cork and Galway. He leaves a wife, Elizabeth; a son (a paediatric oncologist); and a daughter.
