MEDICAL SCIENCE.
ROCKEFELLER GIFT.
Received June 2, 9.30 a.m. LONDON, May 31. The King and Queen laid the fuuudatiou stone of the obstetric hospital and opened the anatomy building in connection with tho university college, which are the first fruits of the gift from the Rockefeller foundation, ation.
The King said it was the first time any medical foundation had been received of over a million from a single benefactor. It was more impressive because it was bestowed by a citizen of the United States upon the people of Britain. The King added that the trustees of the Rockefeller foundation wore largely influenced by the fact of the unit system of medical teaching established by the University College, whereby the chief branches of medical education were under heads who could devote their whole time to teaching, research and hospital practice. This was a substantial development in the traditional British system, which entrusts the clinical teaching to doctors who are also private practitioners.— A. and N.Z. cable.
