Second chair of physiology
(N.Z. Press. Association? DUNEDIN, Sept. 16. A second chair of physiology will be established next year at the University of Otago Medical School. Professor J. Hubbard, at present chairman of the department of biological sciences at North-Western University, Illinois, will become Otago University’s first professor of neurophysiology. From Palmerston North Boys’ High School he went to the Medical School in Dunedin where he graduated in 1952 before going to England as the first New Zealander to be awarded an Oxford clinical scholarship. His many qualifications include an Oxford M.D. and a Ph.D. from Australian
National University where he studied under the former Otago professor of physiology, the Nobel Prizewinner, Sir John Eccles. Professor Hubbard,,who is 40, has been attracted back to Dunedin by what he describes as “the exciting developments at the Medical School.” His wife is an English physiologist turned educationist and they have five children. He will take up his appointment next September.
