 :Peel, the son of a clergyman, was born on December 10 1904 and educated at [[Manchester Grammar School]], [[Queen's College, Oxford]], and [[King's College Hospital Medical School]] in London. He qualified in 1930, and... two years later passed his membership examinations for the Royal College of Physicians.
-:Peel became a Fellow of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists in 1944. In 1955 he became a member of its council, and in 1959 its honorary treasurer. In the latter role he was instrumental in raising funds to finance the College's expansion into its handsome premises in Regent's Park. In 1966 he became President of the RCOG, a job he performed with enthusiasm. His presidency concluded in 1969, but he remained a respected and influential presence for many years, and was elected to an honorary fellowship in 1989.
