Professor Cholmondely Chalmers de Silva, born on 25th February 1904, had his early education at St. Thomas’ College in Mount Lavinia and entered the Ceylon Medical College in 1922. After a few years in the Ceylon Medical College, he changed his seat of learning to University College and Kings College Hospital in London and graduated in 1928 with MBBS. He obtained his MRCP (London) the same year as he qualified with his MBBS. Later, he obtained MD (London). In 1949 he joined the Faculty of Medicine, University of Ceylon as the first Professor of Paediatrics. He took over a ward in Lady Ridgeway Hospital with “one clinical thermometer and one nurse at night”. Unfamiliar conditions for many of us today, yet that was the reality at that time.
