the clinical subjects are completely inadequate, so that it is necessary to bLuild a new clinical block in which the departments of Medicine, Surgery, Midwifery, Ophthalmology, and the newly-created (lepartments of Child Health may be housed. New buildings, additional teachers, increased research, require equipment. With such facilities it is the belief of the Faculty that the School of Physic and Surgery may play a role "of no trifling importance" in the future Health Services not only of this Province but throughout the Commonwealth. As the University enters upon the second century of its existence, the Senate decided that the time was opportune for a determined effort to provide the facilities necessary for the proper development of the various Faculties, having regard to present and future requirements. The Centenary Endowment Fund was thus established with the object of raising £250,000, estimated as the amount required. The Government, appreciating the importance of the work of the University in the life of the Province, has promised to contribute towards that Fund to a maximum of £75,000 on a pound for pound basis on moneys contributed from outside scurces. The interest andl support of the medical profession is strongly commended. Assistance can be given by donation or by covenanted subscription. All contributions , which should be marked "Queen's University Centenary Endowment Fund," addressed to the Vice-Chancellor at the University, will be gratefully acknowledged, and lists of contributors will be sent from time to time to the Press. Tmiis latest American journal appears under the editorship of Dr. George Rosen, with the collaboration of an internaitional board of medical historians. TIhe first issue, of 183 pages, contains articles on a wide range of subjects, including two of particular interest to British readers on "TI'he London Years of Benjamin Waterhouse" by J. C. Trent, and "Medical Elducation in Seventeenth Century England" by Phyllis Allen. As is to be expected, the Journal is beautifully printed on paper of high quality.
