John Aitkenhead

Article Abstract:

John Aitkenhead, the founder of Kilquhanity House School, Scotland, was a keen educationalist who believed schools should be self-governed by both teachers and students. Aitkenhead was Head Teacher of the school during 1940-1997, before which time he had become increasingly frustrated with the teaching style practiced in secondary schools. Aitkenhead initially based Kinquhanity on A.S. Neill's Summerhill School, but he later developed Kinquhanity in his own style. The school had a therapeutic style of government that taught charity and tolerance, with all children responsible for their own education.

Dr John Wilkinson

Article Abstract:

Haematologist John Wilkinson was extremely modest, with even his close friends having little knowledge of his achiemevents as revealed in a radio documentary. Wilkinson studied chemistry at Manchester University, breaking off his education to serve in the First World War. He later became an expert on blood and blood diseases, with his research leading to the development of a cure for pernicious anaemia. Wilkinson had a life-long active involvement with the Scouting movement, having first become involved when the movement was established by Robert Baden-Powell in 1908.
