        History

        Dr. Sybil Douglas Wingate was born on January 7, 1902, in Naini Tal, India, sister of Orde Charles Wingate (1903-1944), a British Army Major-General.

        She graduated from the University of London (B.A., Ph.D.). In 1931, inspired by Dr. Charles Singer, she wrote her Doctor of Philosophy thesis, "The Medieval Latin Versions of the Aristotelian Scientific Corpus, with Special Reference to the Biological Works," a valuable contribution to our knowledge of the medieval versions of Aristotle. In 1947, she was a UK delegate to the United Nations Economic and Social Council's Conference on Trade and Employment. She also served as an Honorary Secretary of the Danubian Club in London in the 1940s.

        She died on March 20, 1993, in London, England.
