Biografie:
William Warwick James (1874- 1965)
W. W. James was the elder brother of J. E. James, whose death is noticed above. He was born on September 20, 1874, and was elected a member of the Alpine Club in December, 1909, having started his alpine climbing in 1906. Some of his ascents had been made with his brother, and the records show him as active in the Valais, Oberland and Chamonix. He made a distinguished name for himself as a dental surgeon, studying at the Royal Dental Hospital and the Middlesex Hospital, and acquiring one of the best dental practices in London. For his researches on dental pathology, he was awarded the John Tomes Prize of the Royal College of Surgeons (1922- 4). His interests were widespread - medicine, anatomy, botany, geology, in addition to his strictly professional concerns, and in his recreations mountaineering had to compete with golf, chess and music. The latter subject was one in which he took great interest, and he contributed an article in T. E. Lawrence: by his Friends, dealing with Lawrence (whom he first met in 1922) as a lover of music.
