    fessor of Clinical Surgery in the University of Edinbu rgh. 13 Charlotte Square, Edinburgh, iith Oct., 1911. Mr. Alfred A. Young has acted as one of my co- examiners in Clinical Surgery, and it gives me pleasure on this occasion to write in his favour. Mr. Young brought with him from the Western Infirmary an excel- lent reputation as an anatomist, teacher and surgeon. His medical training followed upon his graduation in the Arts Faculty. He has kept directly in touch with matters surgical by foreign travel and study, he has contributed the results of his thought and experience to surgical literature, and he has proved himself to have the power of communi- cating his knowledge to others in a clear and forcible manner. His zeal and energy as a good worker and able surgeon are well appreciated by all with whom he is brought in contact. His courteous bearing, his kindli- ness and skill will all contribute largely to the advantage of the school with which he is related. F. M. CAIRD.
