( 3 ) ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF The Lister Institute of Preventive Medicine, May 20th, 1925. REPORT OF THE GOVERNING BODY. The Governing Body has the honour to present the Institute’s 31st Annual Report. GOVERNING BODY. At the last Annual Meeting, the Council re-elected Sir Frederick W. Andrewes, Professor W. Bulloch, and Sir James K. Fowler to represent it until December 31st, 1925. To the universal regret of his colleagues, Sir Frederick Andrewes has found it necessary to resign his seat on the Board on account of other increasing demands upon his time and energy. The vacancy created by Professor Andrewes’ resignation will be tilled by the Council at its next meeting. COUNCIL. At the last Annual Meeting, the retiring members of Council, Professor A. Harden and Dr. H. de R. Morgan, representatives of the members of the Institute, and Professor W. Somerville, the representative of the Royal Agricultural Society, wore re-elected. Professor W. Bulloch was elected to the vacancy occasioned by the death of Professor S. G. Shattock. The three members who retire from the Council by rotation this year, but who are eligible for re-election, are Sir William Leishman, Professor R. T. Hewlett, and Dr. L. C. Parkes; all three are representatives of the members of the Institute. A further vacancy has occurred owing to the death of Sir Rickman Godleo, who formerly represented the Royal College of Surgeons, England, and latterly the Members of the Institute upon the Council Sir Rickman was particularly interested in the work of the Institute, and iiis relationship to Lord Lister gave to his connection with it a more intimate character than that implied by membership of its Council. The Governing Body feel that, by his death, the Institute has lost a valued councillor and a kind friend. MEMBERS. The Governing Body regrets to announce the death during the year of Professor E. Klein, a member since the amalgamation of the Institute with the College of State Medicine in 1893, Dr. Horace T. Brown, who was for some time a member of Council, and the Earl Curzon of Kedleston. STAFF. Dr. Muriel Robertson is still absent on sick-leave, but it is hoped that she will be able to resume duty later in the year. Dr. Bedson has been seconded to work under the Foot and Mouth Disease Committee of the Ministry of Agriculture. Part of the investigation of the Committee is being carried out at the Institute, and will be referred to again later in this Report. Dr. li. G. White, formerly bacteriologist to the Hygienic Institute, Cairo, was made a temporary member of the staff of the bacteriological department in November last, but resigned in April of this year when he was appointed director of the serum laboratories of the Metropolitan Asylums Board. Dr. R. Robison and Dr. Ida Smedley MacLean have been recognised by the University of London, as teachers of Biochemistry at the Institute. Dr. Hunter Brown and Dr. Margaret Boas have held the Jenner Memorial and Grocers’ Research Studentships respectively during the year. ( 4 ) RESEARCH WÔRK. Before proceeding to review the scientific activities of the various departments of the Institute, the Governing Body desires to again record its appreciation of the support rendered by the Medical Research Council to these activities. During the past year, in addition to furnishing the salaries of the staff of the National Collection of Type Cultures, the Council has provided two wholo time workers in the Department of Bacteriology, Dr. Woodcock and Mr. Bruce White, one in the Department of Biochemistry, Dr. Zilva, and five in the Department of Experimental Pathology, Professor Ivorenchevsky, Miss Hume, Miss Soames, Miss Carr, and Miss Henderson Smith. Their work is carried out under the direction of Professors Ledingham, Harden and Martin respectively, and accommodation for them and the expenses of then- researches are supplied by the Institute. Department of Bacteriology. Vaccinia and Avian Molluscum. Professor Ledingham has continued his study of the vira of Vaccinia and Avian Molluscum, with particular reference to their alleged epidermotropic affinities, their immunological relationships and their filterability with a view to cultural experiment.

  • Half a Century of Medical Research
    Medical Research Council Half a Century of Medical Research Volume One: Origins and Policy of The Medical Research Council (UK) A. Landsborough Thomson Half a Century of Medical Research The Medical Research Council, established in 1920 but in effect inaugurated seven years earlier as the Medical Research Committee, is a prototype among official research organisations. Sir Landsborough Thomson was particularly well qualified for writing its history since he joined the staff of the original Committee in 1919 and as second officer at the Council’s headquarters was closely involved in developments for nearly 40 years. The work is being published in two volumes. This first volume recounts the general history of the Council, particularly the constitutional and administrative aspects of the origins of policy—both the early formulation of administrative principles and the initiation of what later became major developments in the scientific programme. The early chapters chronicle the beginnings of the Council and the predecessor Committee in detail; the later ones discuss broader questions, such as the reasons why particular methods were chosen for the promotion of research, the circumstances in which certain subjects were selected for special support, and the considerations governing the relation between science and administration. Volume Two will deal with the development of the Council’s scientific programme (see the back flap). As Sir Harold Himsworth writes in his introduction to the book, national as well as departmental policy is coming to depend increasingly on the objective quality of the scientific knowledge available, and the organisational pattern of which the research councils are the prototype might find increasing application.

On this particular evening he has perched himself on the head of the sofa in the Common Room, and is doing his best to ruffle the temper of the Editor. "Have you anything more for this number ? Is it full ?" "Yes, and sent to the printers, thank goodness." "Then you won't have to fill it with your own stupid " (A well-aimed ruler prevented him from ending the sentence.) When quiet was restored and the pain assuaged by gentle massage, he began again :— "Well, what have you got in it ? Are there any pictures ?" "Yes, there are three illustrations—(the Imp never could call things by their right names)—and two of them are the work of a boy in the Camera Club." "Ah, that looks well, doesn't it ! But what about the articles ? Are they worth reading ?" "Of course they are, or they wouldn't appear in "THE LF.IGH- TONIAN." Our readers are very critical, you know." "Oh!

  • Illustrations from the Wellcome Institute Library Seeking
    Medical History, 1997, 41: 86-93 Illustrations from the Wellcome Institute Library Seeking Lister in the Wellcome Collections RICHARD K ASPIN* The figure of Joseph Lister (1827-1912), which bestrides the late Victorian medical world like a colossus, is curiously elusive in the collections of the Wellcome Institute Library. In contrast to his near contemporary, Florence Nightingale (1820-1910), over three hundred of whose letters had been acquired by the time of Sir Henry Wellcome's death (and many more since), Lister's was a sporadic and fleeting presence in the documentary collections until quite recent times. In 1981, the acquisition by the Wellcome Library of the most important surviving collection of Lister family papers still in private hands promised to shed new light on the personal life of England's greatest surgeon. But there remained unexplained gaps in the record, and the reluctance of Lister to emerge fully from the archival shadows merits exploration. In his will (26 June 1908), Lister requested that two of his trustees, his nephews Rickman John Godlee and Arthur Hugh Lister, "arrange [his] scientific manuscripts and sketches, destroying or otherwise disposing of such as are of no permanent scientific value or interest", and bequeathed the "manuscripts and sketches when so arranged to the Royal College of Surgeons of England". His diplomas and medals were left to Edinburgh University, with permission to destroy them if so desired. No particular provision was made for his non-scientific papers, his correspondence, his library or any other of his personal or family effects. A codicil dated 7 December 1909, after the death of his brother and senior trustee, Arthur, authorized the three surviving trustees to dispose of the "personal effects" not specified in the will, taking into account what they believed to be Lister's wishes.1 The insouciance of these instruments is belied by the much more precise instructions that Lister gave his trustees some time before Arthur Lister's death in July 1908.

The series was founded by the late Professor John Pickstone, and its ambitions refect his commitment to the integrated study of medicine, science and tech- nology in their contexts. He repeatedly commented that it was a pity that the foundation discipline of the feld, for which he popularized the acronym ‘HSTM’ (History of Science, Technology and Medicine) had been the history of science rather than the history of medicine. His point was that historians of science had too often focused just on scientifc ideas and institutions, while historians of medicine always had to consider the understanding, management and meanings of diseases in their socio-economic, cultural, technological and political contexts. In the event, most of the books in the series dealt with medicine and the biomedical sciences, and the changed series title refects this. However, as the new editors we share Professor Pickstone’s enthusiasm for the inte- grated study of medicine, science and technology, encouraging studies on biomedical science, translational medicine, clinical practice, disease histories, medical technologies, medical specialisms and health policies. The books in this series will present medicine and biomedical science as crucial features of modern culture, analysing their economic, social and political aspects, while not neglecting their expert content and con- text.

Even the passage of a day begins to turn facts into fanciful and entertaining stories. Interestingly told, these tales combine truth and ridiculousness in such delightful and charming proportions that they are bound to last for a long time. The story of the American College of Surgeons is that of the development and progress of surgery in America. No other medical organization, voluntarily entered into by its Fellows, has exerted such a profound influence upon the discipline and art of surgery in the United States. This book is concerned with the many men, each with his in- cisive personality, who were dedicated to the purpose of ele- vating the level of the surgical treatment of patients by raising the standards of hospital facilities and continuing the education of the surgeon.
