Abstract
BIRMINGHAM.—At the recent annual meeting of the Court of Governors, the pro-chancellor, Mr. Walter Barrow, announced a bequest of £5,000 by the late Lady Scott-Moncrieff, who was one of the original students of Mason College. The late Prof. R. F. C. Leith, emeritus professor of pathology, bequeathed a sum of £15,000 to the Department of Pathology and £15,000 to be used for scholarships to promote the study of pathology and bacteriology. The late emeritus Prof. Lewis and Sir John Robertson also bequeathed their libraries to the new Medical School. An anonymous donor has given £2,000 to enable an investigation to be carried out under the personal direction of Prof. W. N. Haworth with the view of producing an improved form of insulin for use in the treatment of diabetes, and two research fellows are already at work on the subject.
