George S Fairweather1886-1909 In May 1909, at the early age of 23, Mr G S Fairweather, a well known Cupar cricketer, died in Dundee. Having carried off the Balgonie gold medal, the 'blue-ribbon' of the Bell-Baxter School, he proceeded to St Andrews University and graduated MA on his twentieth birthday, taking second class honours in classics. In his College classes he distinguished himself in Latin, Greek, ancient history, and education. After acting for a time as an assistant teacher in the Bell-Baxter School, he was appointed house tutor at the Royal Grammar School, Worcester. It was known that his heart was in his work and that he had given great satisfaction in the discharge of his duties there. He came home to Dundee to spend his Easter holidays, and was almost immediately seized with his fatal illness. As a sportsman, Mr Fairweather’s services were much sought after. He was a keen cricketer, and as a forceful batsman gave many a fine display in Bonvil Park. His wicket-keeping, recognised as about the best in the county, told heavily in his Club’s favour, and left him the undisputed possessor of the post. In the football world he also occupied an honourable position. He was a prominent forward in his ’Varsity Rugby Club, and had the honour of being chosen for one of the trial Internationals. 
A R Farmer(1912-2001) BBS 1923-9 Dr A R Farmer (1923) died in September 2001, aged 89. Dr Farmer graduated MB ChB from the University of St Andrews and served in the Royal Air Force. He spent most of his career as a GP in Hartlepool and continued to live there after he retired. He served as a Police Surgeon and was also medical officer to the Shipping Federation and the British Petroleum Company. He was predeceased by his wife and is survived by his 4 daughters. Elizabeth Farmer(1939- BBHS 1950-56 Elizabeth Craik (née Farmer) entered first year in 1950.

She was the first woman, indeed, the first westerner, to be appointed a full professor in the Faculty of Letters at Kyoto. She was quoted in the Courier as saying that classics is flourishing there, providing a valued linguistic training for the important studies of ancient philosophy and ancient history.

In retirement she maintains an attachment to the School of Greek, Latin and Ancient History at the University of St Andrews and also to Newcastle University, continuing to publish on the Hippocratic Corpus, an important collection of early Greek medical works.
