A Tribute to Professor M M Cooper

This Online meeting is dedicated to celebrating the life and legacy of Prof. M. M. Cooper, a remarkable educator whose contributions have left an indelible mark at Madras Medical College. He was Professor of Anatomy at the College during the 60s.

Prof. Cooper was more than just a teacher; he was an innovator in medical education. His unique method of teaching, particularly his ability to vividly illustrate the development of the human embryo using only colored chalks on a blackboard, has become legendary among those who had the privilege to learn from him. These illustrations were not just drawings; they were masterpieces of educational art that brought complex concepts to life.

As we plan this special event, we are reaching out to all former students, colleagues, and friends of Prof. Cooper who are spread around the world to come together and share their stories, photos, and messages. Your memories are the mosaic that will piece together the profound impact Prof. Cooper had on each of us.

For those who wish to speak about Prof. Cooper or contribute to the memorial we are creating, please reach out to us. This memorial will serve as a beacon for future generations of graduates, a testament to a teacher who could inspire without the need for modern technology.

Let us come together to pay homage to a man who was not only a great teacher but also a guiding light for many in the field of medicine.
