[edit] Surgeons' titles

Re British surgeons' use of "Mr," I wonder whether this could be related to their former privilege of being addressed as "Master" (in the original charter of the London College) or "Maister" (in Edinburgh and Glasgow). I don't know if this was a special privilege of their profession, or one they had in common with senior members of other craft guilds at the time. NRPanikker (talk) 17:50, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
