Jodrell Professor of Zoology and Comparative Anatomy information
The Jodrell Professor of Zoology and Comparative Anatomy is a chair at University College London, endowed (shortly after the Jodrell Chair of Physiology) by TJ Phillips Jodrell in 1874.
UCL was the first university in England to have a Chair of Zoology, and the first holder was Robert Edmond Grant after which the post received the Jodrell endowment.[1]
Until 1948, the professor of Zoology was also Curator of the Grant Museum of Zoology, after this point the two roles were separated.

Jodrell was a 'wealthy eccentric' who went insane before his gift could be completed, requiring the 'Masters in Lunacy' to confirm the donation.[1]
