Qualifications for surgeons have evolved through several centuries. Particularly with dramatic changes in the science of medicine over the period of John Hunter and the early 1800's, their education and training could be seen to be in a state of flux. While surgeons and surgery struggled for acceptance or recognition, however, the influence of the main players in both London and Edinburgh remained relatively stable and largely unchanged through several decades. The characters and contributions of these men are presented in the context of college diplomas to which they attached their authority.
