    nth of June, 1873, and in August, 1876, Mr. George Paulson Wragge, the only executor then surviving, gave, out of this trust, the sum of £2,000 for the purpose of establishing, in connection with the Queen’s College, lectures and scholarships for promoting the advancement of obstetric medicine and surgery, including the treatment of diseases of women and children, these being branches of medical science in which the testator’s father had acquired considerable reputation. Trustees were accordingly appointed, and a declaration of trust duly executed under date August 18, 1876. It was provided that in each year one or more lectures on the subjects above specified should be delivered at Queen’s College by such person as the Council should appoint, and that the lecturer should receive an honorarium. It was also stipulated that these lectures, which were to be called the Ingleby Lectures, should be free to all members of the medical profession and to all students in the Birmingham Medical School. Further, two money prizes, which were to be called the Ingleby Scholar- ships or prizes, were to be awarded, after examination, to students in the medical school of the College of two years’^ standing or upwards for proficiency in obstetric medicine and the diseases of women and children. In i8g2 the medical and dental departments of Queen’s College were taken over by Mason College, since merged in the University of Birmingham in which the Ingleby Lectures are now delivered and the Ingleby prizes awarded. Who was Dr. Ingleby whom it was the object of this foundation to commemorate ? The few facts known about his life and work* can easily be summarised. He was born at Cheadle, in Staffordshire^ on the 7th of March, 1794, one year, as Dr. Foxwell has reminded us, after the death of John Hunter. He served a five years’ apprenticeship to Mr. Bourne, a medical practitioner of his native place, completing his medical education in London and Edinburgh. In 1816 he commenced practice in Birmingham. An Edinburgh fellow- student of his (Dr. Eccles) had determined to do the same.
