    careful supervision of the Practical Anatomy, and your clear and lucid demonstrations—in which your experience as a worker, and your thorough acquaintance with Embryology and Comparative Anatomy enable you to explain any apparent anomalies—have ensured diligent, steady, and intelligent work among the students, with whom you are deservedly most popular. Your genial manner and many admirable qualities have endeared you to us as a personal friend, so that we shall be sorry to lose you, although we shall be glad if you obtain your well-earned preferment. Signed by 26 Assistants in the University of Glasgow. From Graduates of Glasgow University—Students during Dr. o J. Y. Mackay s DemoustratorsJiip. Dr. Yule Mackay’s candidature for the Chair of Anatomy in the University of Aberdeen affords us, as recent Graduates of Glasgow University, an opportunity of expressing our goodwill towards him, and our appreciation of our indebtedness to him, as one of qur former teachers. During the years of Anatomical study we were in daily intercourse with him in the special branch to which he has devoted himself, and throughout the whole curriculum his influence was felt to pervade the public College life. In the lecture room and at the dissecting table Dr. Mackay was equally noted for his devotedness to his work: he combined profound knowledge with tact to turn it to account, and perfect courtesy with strict but cheerfully acknowledged discipline. In the memory of his example, and in his published works, he remains our teacher. While recognising that Dr. Mackay’s removal from Glasgow would be a serious loss to our ETniversity, we heartily wish him all success in his present candidature, and in his career as an Anatomist. Signed by 240 Graduates. c
