Edgar Douglas Adrian was born on 30 November 1889 in Hampstead,
London. He was the son of Alfred Douglas Adrian, legal adviser to the Local
Government Board. His mother was born Flora Lavinia Barton.
In the personal records of the Fellows of the Royal Society, Adrian
noted that his family was of French or Flemish Huguenot descent and
came to England in 1572 after the massacre of St. Bartholomew. Various
members of the family were at Cambridge University. Adrian's father,
grandfather, and great grandfather were in the civil service, the latter having
been clerk to the House of Parliament.
Adrian's childhood was spent in London, where he went to the Westminster
School. He received a classical education, but moved to a modern
curriculum 2 years before leaving the school. In 1908 he went to Trinity
College, Cambridge, with a scholarship in science. In 19 t 1 he started work
at the Institute of Physiology in collaboration with Keith Lucas, with
whom he published his first paper in 1912. From 1912 to 1914 Adrian
worked alone,with guidance from his teacher, Keith Lucas, who died in an
airplane accident in 1916. Adrian, who had left Cambridge 2 years previously,
was under the direct influence of Keith Lucas for only 3 years.
However, in the handwritten notes mentioned above, Adrian states that
Keith Lucas decided his career and made a physiologist out of him
