Harold Benjamin Fantham
Harold Benjamin Fantham (1876 — 1937) was a zoologist and in particular a parasitologist who contributed to major discoveries in the field. He died of septicemia at the age of 60, while he was head of the department of zoology at McGill University, Montreal.[1][2]
Fantham studied at the University College, London, the Royal College of Science, and then at Christ's College, Cambridge where he was a research fellow. After teaching and research posts in London, Cambridge and Liverpool, Fantham was appointed professor of zoology and comparative anatomy at the University of the Witswatersrand.[2] In the 1920's, he was a proponent of eugenics, and wrote widely on this topic.[3] In 1933, Fantham took up the post of professor of zoology at McGill University.
