Abstract
Sir Leonard Rogers made enormous research contributions to ‘medicine in the tropics’, especially in Bengal where the spectrum of disease was already well delineated. He also did much to enhance the formal discipline of tropical medicine. But perhaps his most lasting memorial lies in the Calcutta School of Tropical Medicine—that occupied a decade of politicking and stress—which survives to this day and is a timely reminder of a past era in India. It is
not
widely appreciated, however, that the original impetus for this institution came
not
from Rogers but from a young medical practitioner, Alfred McCabe-Dallas, attached to an Assam tea plantation.
