Biographical history
Guy's Hospital Gazette was founded in 1872 by a student, T Cattell-Jones as a private venture. It was published by a committee who managed the Gazette, and in 1874 its management was taken over by the Pupils' Physical Society. Publication ceased from 1880 to 1887, due to a dispute between the Editor of the Gazette and the Governors of the Hospital. In 1900 the Physical Society gave up its interest in the Gazette, and the Committee became independent of any sections or societies of the Hospital and Medical School.
The Guyoscope was established in 1897 by Dr B Burnett-Ham, as a 'medical Punch', inspired by some caricatures of the teaching staff by Stanley Cock. Publication ceased in 1906, but was resumed briefly in 1920.
