Abstract
AT a meeting of the Physiological Society held in Cambridge on December 18, a presentation was made by physiologists trained in the Cambridge school to Mr. William Freeman, the senior laboratory assistant. Mr. Freeman, known to many generations of students as ‘John’, completed his fiftieth year in the laboratory last October. As biological technician he was closely associated with Langley and Anderson in their work on the autonomic system, but during the past fifty years he has aided no less than four of the secretaries of the Royal Society (Michael Foster, Sir William Hardy, Sir Henry Dale and Prof. A. V. Hill) and three of its presidents (Sir Charles Sherrington, Sir Frederick Gowland Hopkins and Sir Henry Dale). The presentation was made by Sir Henry Dale after congratulatory speeches by Prof. E. D. Adrian and Dr. L. E. Shore.
