context_page_description: Dr Cecil Innes Bothwell Voge FRSE PhD was a 20th-century Scottish physician, biochemist and geneticist. A specialist in contraception, in authorship he usually appears as C. I. B. Voge.
context_section_description: Vogue was born in Edinburgh in 1898 the son of Anton Voge of 46 Gilmore Place. The house dates from the 18th century and is one of the largest on the street.
  In the First World War he joined the Royal Flying Corps as a Second Lieutenant.
  In 1930 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh for his contributions to chemistry. His proposers were Andrew Pritchard, William Rutherford, George James Allman and John Hutton Balfour.
  In 1933 he undertook an important study, funded by the Rockefeller Foundation and under the direction of F A E Crew at the Animal Breeding Research Department in Edinburgh. This study of the risks and benefits of contraception was called the 'Voge Study but caused a huge rift with Crew, who thereafter called him a traitor to science, for adding emotion into the study.
  Voge retired to Hampstead in 1963. He died on 19 June 1978. He is buried in Grange Cemetery in south Edinburgh.
