Abstract
MB. WILLIAM H. Ross, chairman of the Distillers' Company, Ltd., who is himself totally blind, has recently given £40,000 to establish in Edinburgh an organisation “with the object of investigating the origin and causes of blindness, and utilising the results of such investigation towards its prevention and cure”. The income from the money will be applied partly to research work on blindness, and partly to practical measures for its prevention and for the preservation of sight. The chairman of the trustees is Dr. Arthur H. H. Sinclair, president of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh.
