Dr. William Gardiner Anglin was born October 8th, 1856. He graduated from Queen's with his medical degree in 1883 and then moved to Scotland where he spent 18 months as the house surgeon at the Royal Infirmary, the Sick Children's Hospital, and the Royal Maternity Hospital. Before he returned to England he took the M.R.C.S. exam (Member of the Royal College of Surgeons).
When he returned to Kingston in September of 1885 he took a position lecturing surgery at the Women's Medical College. In 1886 he began lecturing pathology at the Royal Medical College, eventually becoming a professor, and then head of the clinical surgery department. He remained at this post until 1915.
In addition to his lecturing duties, Dr. Anglin was also appointed to the body of Attending Physicians of Kingston General Hospital by the Board of Governors in 1892. In 1904 Dr. Anglin was severely ill, and lost a finger due to this illness. His illness is mentioned in the papers, with much relief when it was announced that he would live. He remained a member of the Medical Staff until May 1915 when he departed with the Queens Stationary Hospital for Cairo. He served in the Queen's Stationary Hospital as a civil-surgeon with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. He remained at the hospital in Cairo until 1916 when he became ill with Malta fever and phlebitis, he was given a medical discharge and sent back home.
From 1918 to 1919 he served as an Examiner on the Canadian Pension Board. In May of 1920 he was appointed surgeon/physician of the Kingston Penitentiary. He was a progressive and compassionate doctor, treating inmates with the same care a first class citizen would receive. He once remarked to a reporter: "Because a man has broken the law is no reason why he should not be given the same chance and comforts when ill as he would have got if he had never come into the penitentiary." Dr. Anglin remained in this post until his retirement in 1929.
