38. The Johnstone Medal was awarded by the College Council to Mr. H.
Staunton as the most deserving student of the year. The Blacklock Medal for
Clinical Surgery was awarded to Mr. F. St. J. Lawrence of the Second Department,
to which it is at present restricted; the Chipperfield Medal for Clinical Medicine
(unfortunately not yet available for presentation) to Mr. N. Jesudasen Pillay of the
Senior Department. Two candidates, Messrs. Saldanha and Winckler, obtained
equal marks for the Cornish Clinical Prize of Rs. 100, which will, therefore, be
divided between them. The Government Medal falls to V. Venkayya, the student
of the Hospital Assistant grade who passed first at the Final Examination. The

as fees and from other sources.
40. I avail myself of this my last public opportunity to thank my colleagues
and assistants, not merely for efficient aid in performing our common duties, but also
for the smoothness and harmony with which our work has been carried on.
