Plaque to Mary Ann Baxter
"Universally mourned by the citizens of Dundee, among whom her name will ever live, enshrined as it has been by acts the noblest, the most generous, and the most self-sacrificing" - The Courier
MARY ANN BAXTER
1801-1884
Mary Ann Baxter's ideas and generous financial backing of over £120,000 (many millions in today's terms) allowed the establishment of University College, Dundee (now the University of Dundee). At her insistence, the institution was one of the first providers of equal higher education to women and men. She was also the co-donor of Baxter Park and supported a wide range of church causes.
Plaque to Margaret Fairlie
"She gave me the will to live" surely no higher tribute could be paid to a practitioner of medicine - Alumnus Chronicle
MARGARET FAIRLIE
1891-1963
Among Dundee's first female graduates in medicine, Margaret Fairlie was a distinguished clinician and inspirational teacher who pioneered the use of radium in the treatment of malignant gynaecological diseases in Scotland. She became the first woman appointed to a Scottish university professorship, as Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in Dundee's medical school, and later the first Scottish woman to be a Consultant Emeritus in Obstetrics.
The sea holly (bottom right) represents her birthplace of Arbroath, the Eiffel Tower represents her visit to the Marie Curie Foundation in Paris which sparked her interest in the medical use of radium, and the radium connects Paris with Dundee across the top of the plaque.
