Biographical history
The Physiological Laboratory was established by the Senate in January 1902 by the allocation of rooms on the second floor of the University Building at South Kensington and by a grant for equipment. Donations for equipment and maintenance were also made by Walter Palmer, M.P. and by G.W and A. Palmer.
The purpose of the Laboratory was to afford to the lecturers of the University and other duly accredited physiologists a place in which the results of current research would be presented by lectures and demonstrations; and to provide advanced students of physiology an opportunity for the prosecution of research. Courses of research lectures and demonstrations were delivered and a limited number of students were admitted as laboratory workers for advanced work.
The Laboratory was closed in September 1923 when the Senate, on the recommendation of the Finance Committee, declined to provide any further financial support.
