NOTED BRITISH OBSTETRICIAN
SIR WILLIAM SHAW TO VISIT N.Z. (P.A.) AUCKLAND, Feb. 12. An announcement that the noted British obstetrician, Professor Sir William Fletcher Shaw, would visit New Zealand in September was made at the annual meeting of the New Zealand Obstetrical and Gynaecological Society, held in Auckland to-day. Sir William Shaw is being sent to the Dominion by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, London, at the invitation of the New Zealand Society. He is to advise upon the foundation principles of the Auckland post-graduate obstetrical and gynaecological hospital, in order that this centre, which has now been endowed, may be recognised by the Royal College as a training school for its higher examinations.
Sir William, who is at present chairman of the Royal College's committee for Dominion affairs, was president of the college from 1938 to 1943. Officers elected were:—president, Dr. Geoffrey Fisher (Auckland); vicepresident, Dr. L. C. L. Averill (Christchurch); honorary secretary, Dr. Jefcoate Harbutt (Auckland); assistant Dr. Alistair Macfarlane (Auckland); honorary treasurer, Dr. F. R. Smale (Auckland).
