Production date 1942 - 1943
Scope and ContentMuch time was devoted to biochemistry, one of the University’s most prominent subjects. Biochemistry was under the aegis of Sir Frederick Gowland Hopkins the first to discover a vitamin, ascorbic acid ‐ vitamin C.
However, the burden of teaching the wartime medical class fell on the skilled shoulders of Dr Ernest Baldwin who was both a talented teacher and an expert in his own field. He would often appear for his afternoon lectures dressed in the uniform of an air‐raid warden since the country, and in particular London, was being subject to the full might of the Luftwaffe's bombing attacks. One half of the notebook (1942) is devoted to theory, the complementary half to practical classes.
