Quain Professor is the professorship title for certain disciplines at University College London, England. The title honours Richard Quain, who became Professor of Anatomy in 1832 at what would become University College, London. Quain left a legacy to the university to endow professorships in four subjects in 1887.[1] He intended that the funding should recognise his brother, John Richard Quain, as well as himself.
The Burhop prize for Physics, Applied Physics or Mathematics/Physics is also drawn from these funds.[2]
The Quain professorships cover Botany, English language and literature, Jurisprudence, and Physics.
