Abstract
Educated at Uppingham, Queens’ College, Cambridge, and London Hospital, Arthur Carleton Crooke was influenced in his early research on pituitary histology by Professor Dorothy Russell at the London Hospital and in America by Harvey Cushing and Herbert Evans. By 1936 he had noted the characteristic cellular changes in the pituitary of patients dying of Cushing’s syndrome (Crooke cells). With a small research team he continued with studies on the influence of the pituitary on adrenal function and was progressing towards the isolation of corticotrophin when the war came and he joined a team studying shock.
