Dr. Randolph Winslow desires to acknowledge cards from Drs. M. Zaki and M. Teufik, 166 Mohamed Aly street, Cairo, Egypt. These are two of our popular Egyptian students, and are located as noted above, where they have met with unexpected success. Drs. Heilig, Moose, Kerr and Pearlstine, four of our recent Southern alumni, paid their respects to the University recently. The three former are located in North Carolina, the latter in South Carolina.
The last regular meeting of the University of Maryland Medical Association was held in the amphitheatre of the University Hospital, Wednesday, April 21, 1909, and the program was as follows: 1. “Preliminary Training Necessary for Those Contemplating the Study of Medicine,” Dr. Randolph Winslow; 2. “The Teaching of Therapeutics,” Dr. C. W. Mitchell; “The Teaching of the Specialties,” Dr. Hiram Woods.
The meeting was well attended and the papers were both instructive and interesting. Dr. A. M. Shipley, the president, occupied the chair. This is the last meeting of the society until the fall. Dr. Woods' paper appears elsewhere in this number.
Dr. Richard H. Johnston, of Baltimore, will read a paper on “Benign Tumors of the Turbinate Bodies Clinically and Pathologically Considered,” at the coming meeting of the American Medical Association.
The Council on Medical Education of the American Medical Association in its annual report has this to say concerning college mergers:
Another encouraging fact to be noted is the mergers being made among medical schools whereby stronger schools are resulting. Notably in Indiana, all of the regular schools in the state merged into the medical department of Indiana University, while in Kentucky all of the medical schools merged into the University of Louisville. In Cincinnati the two regular schools merged into the University of Cincinnati; in Minnesota Hamline merged into the medical department of the University of Minnesota.
