=== House Notes ===
Corr. Member Anthrop. Soc., Paris<br />proposed 1871.03.20<br />1875 annual report. We have to regret the loss, I hope only temporarily, of our esteemed Director, Mr. Rudler, he having been appointed Professor of Science at the College of St. Asaph. It has been owing to his unwearying energy, during the short intervals of time that he has been able to spare from his professional duties, that we are indebted for the regutlar appearance of our Quarterly Journal on the 1st day of each quarter,a matter of no slight importance to its success with the public <br />another portrait in Man 1915
=== Notes From Elsewhere ===
Frederick William Rudler was born in London on the 8th of July 1840. He began his career at the Museum of Practical Geology in 1861, where he was to remain until 1876. It was during this period, in 1869, that he accepted the role of Assistant Secretary of the Ethnological Society. He then took up a position as lecturer in natural science at the University College of Wales (Aberystwyth), and was to become one of the College's earliest professors of geology.<br /><br />Rudler became Registrar of the Royal School of Mines in 1879, and held this position for a year. In 1880 he took up the role of President of the Anthropological Department of the British Association, and seven years later he began a two-year spell as President of the Geologists Association. In the same year he was made Curator and Librarian of the Museum of Practical Geology, and would remain so until 1902. Rudler's string of presidencies continued in 1898, when he entered into a year long period as President of the Anthropological Institute. In 1903, he was made President of the Essex Field Club, and the following year President of the S E Union of Scientific Societies.<br /><br />Rudler published a great deal, and his works appear in various literary and scientific journals.
