    From Professor John G. M‘Kendrick. University of Glasgow, \oth March, 1905. I HAVE pleasure in supporting the candidature of Dr. William R. Jack for the Chair of Practice of Medicine in Anderson’s College, vacant by the lamented death of Dr. R. S. Thomson, as in my judgment he has strong claims for such an appointment. His training, both in science and in medicine, has been of a high order. He was a distinguished student ; he was the best man of his year in 1889 ; he has studied abroad, and has become proficient in the French and German languages, an acquirement now absolutely essential to progress in medical science ; he has had long experience in Dis- pensary and Hospital work ; and he has acted as an assistant for ten years to my colleague. Professor M‘Call Anderson. His Thesis for M.D. on Voluntary Muscular Movements appeared in the Proceedings of the Royal Society. He is an excellent speaker and lecturer. His qualifications are of such an order that I feel sure he would fill the office he seeks both with dignity and success. JOHN G. M‘KENDRICK.
