others of its class ; and amongst these character.
Utica, he would ' mention one, namely, that the
proceeds from fees paid by the students attending
clinical lectures were applied wholly to the funds of the
hospital, and did not go into the pockets of professors. It
was highly desirable that they should supply an existing
deficiency, so that instead of receding from their useful po-
sition, they might advance in the good work. He called
on all present to aid in this endeavour, and to imitate the
noble examples set by severidgentleme;whoee mantes would
be read by the treasurer, but whom he himself could nob
