A Noble Example

The proposal to found a scholarship o-r a lecture, m memory of Sir Victor Horsley, will, we feel sure, be received very sympathetically by numbers of nurses, to whom his name stands for chivalry, sympathy, and forceful action m relation to their demand for registration under State authority, a reform m which he was deeply interested, but unfortunately did not live to see. A strenuous and fruitful life was consummated by a self-sacrificing death, and the lonely grave m Mesopotamia is a holy place, the memory of which should inspire those whose privilege it was to know Sir Victor Horsley to emulate his noble example. Crowned with professional laurels and honour, possessed of wealth

and supremely happy m his home relations, he willingly offered all when the need arose, on the altar of patriotism, consumed with a burning desire to serve his country, and to" alleviate suffering. The hon. treasurers of the fund are Sir Frederick Mott, K.8.E., F.R.S., 25 Nottingham Place, W.I, and Dr. Howard Tooth, C.8., C.M.G., 34 Harley Street, W.I, or contributions may be paid to the Victor Horsley Memorial Account at the London County,.
