William Wallace (1860-1940) was born in Greenock, Scotland, son of a surgeon. He studied ophthalmology at the University of Glasgow, and in Vienna and Paris, and became an ophthalmic surgeon. He also trained in music at the Royal Academy in London. During World War I, he served as inspector of ophthalmic units in Eastern Command. He excelled as a classical scholar, a poet, dramatist, painter, musician, and composer. He used his ability as painter to create careful depictions of eye disorders. He was secretary of the Royal Philharmonic Society and Dean of the Faculty of Music in the University of London. He authored a number of books on music theory and history.
