William Morgan, FRS (1750 – 1833) was a Welsh physician, physicist and statistician, who is considered the father of modern actuarial science. He is also credited with being the first to record the "invisible light" produced when a current is passed through a partly evacuated glass tube; i.e., "the first x-ray tube". After his father's death Morgan left the medical profession and in 1774, on his uncle Richard Price's recommendation he was appointed Assistant Actuary of the Equitable Life Assurance Society. In February 1775, after the death of John Pocock, he was elected Actuary. .
