    the wards ; again, the patients having the advantages of the constant services of both Professorial and Clinical Staffs will benefit from the dual specialised observations and investigations made possible by such a Unit. Mr. Courtauld’s generosity and foresight will provide the cradle out of which the future advances of therapeutics will come : it is reasonable, therefore, to say that his action will not only immediately benefit the School, but, ultimately, Medical Science throughout the World. Though I have given this Report to you at some length, I am still conscious of the very much that I have omitted. There are so many sides to our work on which I have not touched, there are so many friends and volun¬ tary workers whom I should have liked to have thanked, so much unselfseeking effort which I should have liked to have praised. I have said nothing of the work of the Medical Staff, and yet that is the key position in the great general Hospitals. Indispensable as is the Nursing Service, and we are most happy in ours, essential, too, the work of the Board and its Committees, and essential the support of our friends, subscribers, and benefactors, the reputation of the Hospital must necessarily rest most heavily upon its Medical Staff. We are exceedingly fortunate in the character and calibre of the men who serve the Middlesex. I have given you an account of the Hospital’s work and progress in 1934. Does it not justify to the full the demands it makes upon us for increased support to take advantage of these growing opportunities of greater service, directly to our patients, indirectly, through medical research and education, to every one of us ? I have confidence therefore in repeating my appeal to you to bring others in to help us to improve upon our past success and increase our usefulness to the wThole community. I have the honour to be. My Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, Board Room, The Middlesex Hospital, April, 1935,
