DescriptionCorrespondence from W.S. Angus, University Secretary, regarding Lockhart's retirement from the Chair of Anatomy, his salary, arrangements for appointment of new Chair, his agreement to remain in post until appointment of his successor and to undertake role of Honorary Curator of the Anthropological Museum, June 1960 - June 1965.

Statement made by Lockhart to the Senatus of the University of Aberdeen, that conditions for appointment to the Regius Chair of Anatomy should include provision that the professor must be a registered medical practitioner, 6 November 1963. This statement must have been made whilst the University was making preliminary arrangements for the appointment of Lockhart's successor. Pencilled annotations refers to a letter signed by 29 Anatomy teachers in the 'British Medical Journal', 1945, vol. 2 (pp 740) - apparently referring to an experiment 'tried once in this country, 18 years ago and never repeated', to which Lockhart refers in his statement.

Press cuttings from local newspapers regarding Lockhart's retirement, describing his last lecture, in which his students and the Anatomy lecture theatre were adorned with rhododendrons, July - September 1964.
