807 MEDICAL NEWS HOSPITAL DINNERS St. Mary’s Hospital Mr. Duncan Fitzwilliams took the chair at the dinner at Claridge’s last Saturday and found himself the toast of the evening. Dr. C. M. Wilson pointed out that whereas the tyro was apt on such occasions to make his subject sound indistinguishable from Lord Lister the expert proposer of toasts was recognisable by his ability to find chinks in the victim’s armour. Mr. Fitzwilliams, how- ever, must receive admiration for his courage in one thing at least-that he had been able to give up golf when he found he could not play it. His recreations were stated to be shooting and fishing, but what he really liked was playing at soldiers. We must enjoy this Elizabethan while we could; for already the tom-toms were beating in the bush and Dr. Wilson had a feeling that the streets of Addis Ababa would soon be seeing Fitzwilliams’ car. He was a big man, immune from smallness, and his example showed how immeasurably a community gained by the presence of a personality. Replying, Mr. Fitz- williams described Dr. Wilson as the local Mussolini, and said that if he had belonged to the Lsague of Nations he would have offered parts of his colleagues in exchange for himself as chairman. Referring to exhibits in the lobby he reported that the hospital had won the inter- hospital rugby (and A cup), the cricket (and A cup), and many other trophies. It had lost the association football cup by one goal and the hockey cup to the winners ; and it possessed in Lovelock probably the finest runner that this country had seen for generations. After speaking of the death of Prof. Collingwood, whose place has been taken by Prof. A. St. G. Huggett, he referred to the resigna- tion of Dr. Wilfred Harris and Sir William Willcox. Dr. W. D. W. Brooks and Dr. D. H. Brinton had been appointed to the medical staff, and Mr. Fitzwilliams was able to illustrate their qualifications by quoting stories they had told him. He announced also that the staff had been so very prosperous of late that west-end consulting Tooms could no longer contain their patients ; but fortunately an anonymous donor had been persuaded to provide paying accommodation at the hospital. All this information was generously interlarded with irrele- vancies, and the company dispersed in high good humour. Middlesex Hospital At the Savoy Hotel on Tuesday last an efficient installa- tion of microphones made every speaker clearly audible to all the 363 diners. Dr. Campbell Thomson expressed his satisfaction at presiding in a year when the Middlesex Hospital celebrated its centenary and completed its rebuilding. In reviewing its new features, he spoke especially of the clinical unit, provided by Mr. S. A. Courtauld, where hospital and school can collaborate in the study of obscure diseases, and the X ray therapy and diagnosis departments, given and endowed by Mr. Meyerstein and Mr. Collins respectively. Mr. Meyerstein, one of the hospital’s greatest benefactors, had that evening sent him a telegram offering E3000 to endow a second scholarship for University of London students. The medical school, said Dr. Thomson, had become a fitting partner for the splendid new hospital, and he mentioned that a ward had now been named after Mr. Webb-Johnson, treasurer of the school-a compliment never before paid to a member of the active staff. Mr. Courtauld and Dr. Boldero replied to the chairman’s toast of the Hospital and School. Dr. Boldero, as dean, said that students of to-day behaved a great deal better than their predecessors : only two chairs had so far been broken in the new clinical theatre-one by a large visitor from America and one by a member of the Royal Family. They also showed much activity in the more important games : thus, four and often five rugger teams turned out on Saturdays, and the cricket team had not been beaten till the final. Dr. M. Hynes, as Broderip scholar, said that the teaching in preliminary sciences at Middlesex was the envy and admiration of students who came from places where these subjects were considered as ends in themselves rather than as the foundation of medicine. Mr. E. W. Riches wittily proposed The Guests, and Mr. H. L. Eason, vice-chancellor of London Univer- sity, replied. For forty years, he said, there had been nothing approaching the developments carried through at the Middlesex Hospital during the last twelve years. He hoped the voluntary hospital system, with its freedom of action and scope for heterodoxy, would never die, but he saw risks in cooperation with such bodies as the London Council. (" I’m all in favour of cooperation," said the elephant, as it sat down on the pheasant’s eggs with the laudable intention of keeping them warm.) What was really essential, however, was to keep the freedom and individuality of the teaching schools, and the public should learn that the teaching hospitals were those which must at all costs be supported. In proposing the chairman’s health, Mr. Webb-Johnson was in most amusing vein ; but his tribute to Dr. Campbell Thomson was none the less impressive. No dean, he said, had ever entered so closely into the students’ activities, and his service to the school before and during the late war was made possible only by surrender of all personal ambition in favour of the Middlesex Hospital and its greater good. Westminster Hospital Old students of Westminster Hospital medical school turned up in large numbers to their annual dinner on Sept. 28th, stimulated no doubt by interest in the plans for rebuilding hospital and school. Dr. Vivian Orr presided at the dinner, which was held at the Trocadero restaurant. Mr. E. Rock Carling, who proposed the toast of Hospital and Medical School, said they were at a critical period, with the centenary just over and the rebuilding ahead. Of the two classes of his hearers one would be glad to know that at the new hospital there would be a gymnasium and two squash courts ; the other that the pathological department was to be adequate. He was glad to assure both that they were within reason- able sight of obtaining the money necessary for the new buildings. Dr. Arthur Davies, in responding, remarked that Westminster students always remained students, and that " Broadway," the hospital magazine, was an important link between old and new. Mr. J. 0. Collin, secretary of the Students Clubs Union, responded on behalf of the school. Dr. Adolphe Abrahams, dean of the medical school, then proposed The Guests, with what he described as the correct proportion of eulogy and malice, although in regard to one guest he was fain to admit that he was really as nice as he looked. Sir James Hartigan, director-general, A.M.S., acknowledging the toast, said that the R.A.M.C. College would welcome the Westminster as near neighbour. He spoke of the need for strengthening the medical branches of the defence forces and of the confidence with which he would look to the Westminster school for support. Mr. W. R. Halliday, LL.D., principal of King’s College, who also replied, gave an entertaining account of his practice as an unqualified doctor on an Agean island during the late war, and went on to express anxiety at the overcrowding of the medical curriculum with specialties. The reports of sundry committees did not, he felt, go far enough in simplifying the curriculum. He was old-fashioned enough to believe that one had to learn in the preliminary stage the basic things and go on to other things afterwards if one had the time. Speaking of the relation between King’s as a pre-medical and Westminster as a clinical school, he was not discouraged by the lapse of the legal connexion, feeling as he did that voluntary association was better. Finally, he regretted the forthcoming departure of Prof. D. M. Blair whose alma mater had claimed him.

In 1928,the year in which he took up his present chair, he published abook entitled the " Value of Scientific Thought in the Advance-ment of Modern Medicine." Prof. Cruickshank has alsowritten text-books for students and contributed many articlesto physiological journals. He was elected a fellow of the RoyalSociety of Edinburgh in 1929.
Infectious Diseases Hospital for North-EastLancashireAt a conference held at Accrington, which was attended
by various representatives from neighbouring boroughs,it was decided that the erection of an infectious diseaseshospital for North-East Lancashire was desirable. Theannual cost of maintenance was estimated at about£ 8000 and the cost of building at between f600 and f800per bed. It is proposed that there should be about80 beds.
Post-Graduate Course at LeedsA series of weekly lecture-demonstrations will be held

Tuberculosis Clinic for East HamMr. Arthur Greenwood recently opened a new clinic
for the treatment of tuberculosis in the grounds of DurbanHouse, Katherine-road, East Ham. The clinic has costabout 6000, and provides up-to-date facilities for treat.ment. It is erected on a site which it is hoped will becomethe public health centre of East Ham.
National Radium CommissionThe new commission has been elected and consists of
the following members : Lord Donoughmore (Chairman),* Sir Cuthbert Wallace, P.R.C.S. (Vice-Chairman),Dr. Thomas Carnwath (appointed by the Minister ofHealth), Dr. Thomas Ferguson (appointed by the Secretaryof State for Scotland), * Dr. Rupert Hallam, Mr. G. W. C.Kaye, D.Sc.(Joint Hon. Secretary,appointed by the Depart.ment of Scientific and Industrial Research), Prof. J. C. G.Ledingham, F.R.S. (appointed by the Medical ResearchCouncil), * Mr. J. J. M. Shaw, F.R.C.S., * Mr. G. F.Stebbing, F.R.C.S. (Joint Hon. Secretary), * Prof. BeckwithWhitehouse, F.R.C.S., and * Prof. James Young, F.C.O.G.(* Appointed by The National Radium Trust.)Association of Industrial Medical OfficersAs a result of many months’ negotiations, this Asso-
ciation came into being at a meeting at the LondonSchool of Hygiene on Sept. 27th, when 20 medical
practitioners giving whole-time services to industrialfirms in London and elsewhere decided to form itas the Association representative of their branch of
practice. Their number will be augmented at an earlydate by the election to membership of many other whole-and part-time practitioners actively employed by industrialfirms, all of whom are invited to apply for membership.The Association replaces, and continues the work of,the previous Council of Industrial Medicine which wasformed ten years ago in the Federation of Medical andAllied Services. Its members continue also to constitutethe advisory medical committee of the Industrial WelfareSociety. The new Association will hold its meetings atthe London School of Hygiene. There will be three eachyear in London and one in the provinces, and each meetingwill be followed by a dinner in the School and a conferenceon the following day. The first chairman is Dr. N. HowardMummery, of J. Lyons and Co., Ltd., and the hon.secretary is Dr. Donald Stewart, of Imperial ChemicalIndustries, Ltd., Birmingham. The objects of the Asso-ciation are to provide the means whereby medical prac-titioners attached to industrial concerns can meet todiscuss the many problems they meet with in their work,both in regard to preventive medicine and remedialsurgery, and thus enhance their value to the managementof their individual firms, promote the knowledge oftheir specialty, and increase their usefulness to industryas a whole. Although a good deal has already been donein these directions during recent years, it has been obviousthat a more intensive study directed to reducing thevast amount of unnecessary industrial incapacity, andabsenteeism, is needed. This the new Association has themeans and the will to carry out. Already a good starthas been made, for the first conference held on Sept. 28tha paper was read by Dr. Leonard Lockhart, of Messrs.Boots, Ltd., on the present position and future of industrialmedicine, when a lively debate followed and particularattention was given to the relations of the members toprivate and panel practitioners and to hospitals andclinics in promoting the recovery of sick or injuredemployees.
