by the intrinsic worth of the particular brass or other means adopted for the purpose, but by the fact that it is subscribed to by every member of the Staff, every Student and Nurse, and any past St. Mary's man who wishes so to do; also by anyone who is interested or connected with the Hospital.

Let the brass be as plain as possible, the inscription short; let, in fact, the actual value of the material and workmanship be the minimum, consistent with good taste. The burden of subscription to each individual will then be very small, and everyone can therefore help. Let it be no extravagant memorial, put up by a few generous people who have been dunned for the purpose, but a spontaneous, simple, and universal tribute by St. Mary's to those who have fallen in their country's service.

If a more elaborate memorial is possible so much the better, but if in order to obtain it the universal character of the tribute is lost, it appears to us the charm of the idea

is gone.

We were delighted to see that Sister Victoria was present as a guest of the Corporation at the Guildhall, upon the occasion of the visit of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales to the City.

It has come to our knowledge that Dr. W. B. Cheadle is about to present to the Medical School a series of portraits of some of the most distinguished of the senior St. Mary's men. These gentlemen have all received their medical education at St. Mary's, and this series it is hoped will form the nucleus of a future portrait gallery.

Once more we recognise that Dr. Cheadle has added to the debt of gratitude that St. Mary's already owes him. The traditions, that are essential to the history of any successful institution, will for ever be associated with his name, which while St. Mary's lives can never be forgotten.

We have some news from South Africa, via Dr. Dodgson, who, we are glad to say, writes to tell us that he tries to keep in touch with all St. Mary's men out there. Just the person we want on our GAZETTE Staff. He himself is now Director of the Government Research Laboratory at Cape Town.

Mr. Leaning is still on the Ambulance the way, with his better and recent half, Train No. 5. Dr. Sanders has been seen on to Pretoria. Sister Rickards is on Ambulance Train No. 2. Sister Beale is at Government House, where she has been for some time companion to Lady HelyHutchinson.

It is capital news that Mr. V. W. Low, formerly our Surgical Registrar, and now a Demonstrator of Anatomy in the Medical School, has been appointed Surgeon to Out-patients at the Great Northern Central Hospital.

It will be remembered that Mr. Low was invalided home from South Africa, with severe arthritis following dysentery. There can be no better proof of the completeness of his recovery than this recent appointment he has obtained.

We are glad to publish a letter this month from Mr. Henry Davis. As the Lancet hath it," Audi alteram partem." We should not like to say how many St. Mary's men have been fortunate enough to learn how to give anæsthetics under Mr. Davis, and his letter will no doubt be read with interest..

Notes.

With this number we present our readers with a portrait of the late Mr. Spencer Smith, and we must take this opportunity of thanking his family for their kindness in providing us with a photograph.

The lectures in the School cease on December 20th, and our Students depart into the bosom of their respective families. We wish them a very Merry Christmas, andas we shall not see them again till January 8th-a Happy New Year.

Two private Subscription Dances, in aid of Furnishing the New Wing, will take place at the Portman Rooms, Baker Street, W., upon Monday, January 13th, 1902, and Monday, February 10th.

Unfortunately we had no notice forwarded. to us, so that we were unable to make this announcement in the November number, as we should have wished, and the first of the series of three took place on Monday, December 2nd.

Tickets can be obtained from the Lady Patronesses, and are not transferable price 12s. each (to include light refreshments and supper).

We are glad to say that the first Dance was a very great success, over 200 being present, and the addition to our funds larger than even such an enthusiastic supporter of the Hospital as Mrs. Field could have hoped.

A great honour has been paid to Mr. H. G. Plimmer. Mr. Plimmer has been placed upon the Krebsforschung Comité recently appointed by the German Government. In other words, he has been chosen from our country to take part in that investigation of cancer which Prof. Ehrlich has been especially deputed to undertake. The practical manner in which the German Government has not only placed this important research in the hands of the ablest men, but has also supported them with the

ration. It is sad to think that we, with all our wealth, are unable to realise that it is far better to organize research in this way, than to leave it to individual effort. even if the Committee do not achieve the main object of their enquiry--the cure of cancer at any rate we shall be spared those valueless contributions that divert, rather than advance, the pursuit.

Most hearty congratulations to Mr. M. S. Paterson upon his appointment as Resident Medical Officer to the Brompton Hospital for Consumption and Diseases of the Chest. We are very glad to see a St. Mary's man holding this important post. Previous to gaining this post, Mr. Paterson had been a House Physician to the Hospital.

It was a decided success that we obtained this year at the recent examination for the M.B. of London University. Four out of the five candidates passed, and Mr. C. F. Coombs was placed in the First Division.

We must also congratulate Mr. Coombs on obtaining Honours in Medicine, and Obstetric Medicine, and on his still more recent success in the Bachelor of Surgery. His remarkable successes in the School during the last year are well known to all St. Mary's men, and his future doings will be watched with interest.

We have before us a letter from the Chairman of our Board, Colonel Stanley G. Bird, in which he suggests a memorial-a Window in the Chapel, for example-to the St. Mary's men and women who have died in South Africa.

The idea seems to us an excellent one. A year ago we ventured to suggest a brass with the names inscribed upon it. These suggestions might well receive the attention of our readers.

Without wishing in any way to force our own idea for if it can be afforded, there is no doubt that the idea of a window is a better one, we should like to mention a scheme that seems to us very feasible.

The principle involved in it is that the
