Marcus Beck (14 October 1843 =E2=80=93 21 May 1893) was a British professor=
 of
surgery at University College Hospital. He was an early proponent of the
germ theory of disease and promoted the discoveries of Pasteur, Koch, and
Joseph Lister in surgical literature of the time. He is the namesake of the
Marcus Beck Library (previously Laboratory) at the Royal Society of
Medicine (RSM).

Early life[edit]

Beck was born on 14 October 1843 in Isleworth, Middlesex, to Quakers Edward
Beck and his second wife Susanna Lucas. They had eight children, of which
Roger was the first son who later funded a memorial in the name of the
third son, Marcus. Beck also had three sisters. Edward Beck was a cousin of
Joseph, Lord Lister who later proved to be influential on Marcus. Beck was
educated at Queenwood College, Hampshire, Arthur Abbott's School, Hitchin
and the University of Glasgow.[1]

Surgical career[edit]

Beck gained admission to the University of Glasgow in 1860 when he resided
with Joseph Lister, his first cousin once removed. In 1863, he became house
surgeon to Sir John Eric Erichsen at University College Hospital, London,
and then physician=E2=80=99s assistant to Sir William Jenner, 1st Baronet a=
nd Dr C
J Hare, following which he became an anatomy demonstrator under Professor
Viner Ellis. The University College Hospital Reports published Beck's
clinical cases in 1870, whilst he was still a registrar and the surgical
pathological specimens were exhibited in the museum of University
College.[2]

Beck became assistant surgeon to University College Hospital in 1873,
succeeding Christopher Heath (surgeon) as teacher of operative surgery in
1875. Becoming Professor of Clinical Surgery in 1883, he was elected
surgeon to the hospital and professor of surgery in succession to John
Marshall (surgeon) by 1885. The Royal College of Surgeons, by 1890, had
elected him onto their council. In 1892, Beck became a member of the court
of examiners, by which time he was practising at 30 Wimpole Street.[2]

Distinguished surgeons who trained under Beck include William Meredith,
Stanley Boyd, Victor Horsley, and Raymond Johnson.[2]

Beck and Lister[edit]

First and last page of a letter from Marcus Beck concerning time with
Lister 1868

Joseph Lister was the cousin of Beck's father Robert. Lister was also
professor of surgery at Glasgow and became host to Beck during his three
year medical studies. Living in the Lister household created a close bond
as they carried out animal experiments together. The introduction of the
antiseptic technique by Lister in the late 19th century was controversial
and Beck was one of his greatest defenders.[1]

Beck was also a close associate of Erichsen, who had published a popular
and reputable surgical textbook, The Science and Art of Surgery which in
1860, was issued by the American government to every medical officer in the
Federal army during the American Civil War.[3] Beck had reported in 1870,
that the French failed to adopt antiseptic measures during the
Franco-Prussian War.[1][3] Besides Howse at Guy's Hospital, Beck was among
the few that understood or practised Lister's methods until Lister came to
London.[4] By 1888, Beck, in an attempt to bring Listerian surgery up to
date, had skilfully included Lister's antiseptic techniques and the
theories of Pasteur and Koch into the eighth and ninth editions of this
book. This was considered a significant contribution to surgical literature
and was translated into German and Russian.[1][2][5]

Marcus Beck Laboratory[edit]

Beck's older brother, Roger Beck, donated =C2=A3500 to the RSM building fun=
d
following Beck's death from complications of Diabetes Mellitus at age 49.
In his memory, the formation of a laboratory was supported by the society's
president, Sir Henry Morris, 1st Baronet. The laboratory, 1912 to 1924, was
a focus of research for Sir Ronald Ross and the Medical Research Council
(United Kingdom). In the latter years of World War I, it was used for
National Service Medical Boards. The Marcus Beck laboratory, initially
prepared specimens for demonstration at the society's meetings and later
conducted research on behalf of the Medical Research Council. Supervised by
Ross, research concentrated on measles and dysentery before being
superseded by expanding London teaching hospital laboratories.[1] In 1913,
Ross recommended that government put some funds from the National Insurance
Fund surplus into research carried out at the Marcus Beck laboratory.
Friction was apparent between Ross and the RSM as other researchers wanted
to use to use the laboratory. Ross was known to refuse on account of
overcrowding. He is also noted to have been eventually pleased with others
work as was the case with Dr A.J. Venn who was granted permission to unpaid
work on measles in the laboratory by John MacAlister. Other work in the
laboratory included research into malaria (1913=E2=80=9317) and animal expe=
riments.
In 1916, annual inspections found animal cages amongst the book stacks. The
library committee was reported to have not been amused.[6][7]

Marcus Beck Library[edit]

Roger Beck gave permission to the Royal Society of Medicine's council to
form an extension of the library from the laboratory in 1923. A
prerequisite was that this library continue to be associated with Marcus
Beck. The Medical Research Council acquired the no longer needed medical
equipment and the Honorary librarian took over responsibility for the new
extended library. Medical portraits and engravings, as well as the
society's old and rare books and manuscripts were housed in this library.
The room continues to be used as a council meeting room and a portrait of
Beck overhangs the fireplace.[7][8]

Later life[edit]

Beck never married. He died at Isleworth on Sunday, May 21, 1893, after
having had diabetes for 20 years.[2]
