Abstract
THE end of the centenary celebration of the New York Academy of Medicine (see Nature, April 12, p. 494) was marked by a Convocation Meeting held on April 24. The Medal of the Academy was awarded to Dr. James Alexander Miller, an authority on tuberculosis, who has been associated with the Academy for many years and in 1937 was its president. This medal was established in 1930 by Dr. Samuel McCullagh, to be awarded periodically to a distinguished medical scientist in recognition of outstanding service to humanity.
