OPENING THE SESSION AT GVY'S.—A visitor 011
the occasion of the opening of the present session at
Guy's publishes in the Arwity an account of the scenes
which took place. A window was broken, the hats of
strangers swabbed, and lecturer and teachers pelted with
sugar-beans and other similar missiles. For more than a
quarter of an hour after the lecturer entered, hissing,
whistling, shouting, clapping of hands, and stamping
of feet were ceaseleas: the lecturer and doctors' moving
not a muscle of their faces, nor showing the slightest
sign of uneasiness. At length a common hissing ensued,
and this was the signal for allowing the lecture to be
heard. All then went quietly until that gentleman ar-
rived at some observations about the " benefits of early
when the crowing of a cock, shrill and sharp, was
Ir:en,from the gallery. exciting general applause and roars
of laughter for a considerable time. Quiet restored, the
orator went on to warn them against that coarse and rude
deportment which, in former days, often disgraced the cha-
racter of medical men, when suddenly " the deep hollow
bark of a bulldog sounded down from the gallery. This
was immediately responded to from the opposite side by
the high-pitched sound of a yelping lap-dog, where-
upon a general exhibition followed of a fight between
the various species of the canine race, accompanied by all
the barking, yelping, howling, and growling of which this
portion of the animal creation is capable." When the
lecturer bad closed his address there was a general show
of the various movements of which the human muscles are
capable. Above all, " one student excelled in beating
with his cane the desk before which he sat, thus producing
such a frightful noise that many of us whose nerves were
not prepared for such an anatomical %eratian upon the
tympanum walked away, holding our eis in our ears,
and thanking heaven that we had arriv safe outside the
building.'
