    where Professor Spence, tlie Professor of Surgery, teaches clinical surgery, but is not allowed to give a qualifying course of clinical surgery; I understand he has a very large following of students. 11.561. Dr. Muir.—In the Infirmary?—Yes. 11.562. But Dr. Gairdner and Dr. Macleod don't wish to lecture in the lecture-room on clinical medicine and clinical surgery, do they? —Yes, they do, that is their whole contention. They want to be allowed to give two qualifying tickets,—in practice of medicine and in sui-gery, and, in addition, on clinical medicine and clinical surgeiy, competing with the professors specially appointed to teach these subjects. 11.563. The Chairman.—They had the power of doing that before you were appointed?—Yes. 11.564. And your contention is that your appointment ought to have the effect of depiiving them of that power?—Of the power of giving qualifying lectures. 11.565. And they very naturally contend the reverse?—They con- tend the reverse. No. 21, p. 485. 11,567. I suppose yom- contention also is that you have the exclusive right to award University prizes in that department?— Certainly; and it is one of the many resvdts of allowing our colleagues to compete with us, that they are not content with merely competing with us, hut insist on claiming a sliare in the whole of our irrivileges, including the giving of honours. 11.570. Does that exhaust what you have to say?—That is only one thing that they claim. They clainx everything else. For in- stance, to-morrow morning the clinical examinations begin; Drs. Gairdner and Macleod will be certain to come to these clinical ex- aminations, and take part in them in addition to conducting their examinations in systematic medicine and surgery. 11.571. They did that before you were appointed?—Somebody had to do it. GLASGOW : ROBERT MACLKUOSK, WEST KILK STREET.
