Dr. William Pasteur has been appointed Bradshaw Lecturer at the Royal College of Physicians. Mr. W. Sampson Handley has, for the third time, been appointed a Hunterian Professor to the Royal College of Surgeons ; a similar distinction has also been conferred upon Dr. W. Victor Bonney. At the M.D. Examination held by the University of London, the Gold Medal in Medicine was awarded to Mr. F. G. Thomson, a student of the School. % Early in the year, acting upon a recommendation from the Council of the Medical School and the advice of Mr. Foulerton, the Director % of the Clinical Laboratories, we gave our sanction—subject to the establishment of a Guarantee Fund of at least £500 to cover any possible loss which may occur within the next three years in con¬ nection with the undertaking—to a scheme for the extension of the Clinical Investigation and Bacteriological Laboratories attached to the Hospital, in consequence of a most advantageous offer of the lease of certain premises in Mortimer Street, in close proximity to the Hospital, and already fitted up and equipped for research work of this nature, having been made to us. In taking this step we were largely influenced by the evidence put before us showing that no adequate provision existed in London for qualified medical women to obtain teaching and preparation for the Examinations for the Diploma in Public Health—a requisite qualifica¬ tion for various appointments recently thrown open to them in connection with County Council Inspectorships under the new Midwives’ Act, and in connection with medical inspection of public elementary schools ; also that the present staff attached to the Clinical Laboratory was admittedly insufficient to allow of full advantage being taken of the exceptional opportunities for research work which the large amount of material derived from the Wards affords.
