In 1964, the librarian of the RGS, G R Crone wrote a chronology of geography in the 20th Century with some excellent details on the development of the subject, and prominent mentions for quite a few former GA Presidents.
There are references to many GA Presidents and their contributions, including Herbertson and Mill, Steers, Stamp and Roxby.

Well worth a read.
