Medical School Notes.

When compared with the college proper, the medical school is but poorly provided with scholarships; the entire number is not more than nine, though the total of students is dangerously near 300. Carrying out this proportion, the scholarships in the college should be limited to thirty-six, or the number in the medical school should be-,but of course, this is not to be thought of. The lucky possessors of medical school scholarships for the present year are:

G. A. Craigen, Harv. '85, 4th year.

A. C. Steward. 4th year.

F. B. Carpenter, 3d year.

J. H. Huddleston, H. '86, 3d year.

F. B. Mallory, do 3d year.

E. H. Nichols, do 3d year.

R. H. Hitchcock, 2d year.

E. P. Stickney, 2d year.

The Warren Triennial prize, founded by the late Dr. J. Mason Warren, is this year offered for competition. The founder's conditions require that the interest upon the original fund shall be collected every three years and awarded for the best dissertation upon some subject chosen by a special committee. As is usual in such cases the committee reserve to themselves the right of making no award "should it be found that none of the dissertations are of sufficient merit." The official notice tells us that this year any subject in physiology, surgery or pathological anatomy may be chosen. Dissertations to be handed in on or before July 1st, 1889. The amount of the prize is $500. Who can now deny that the medical profession offers peculiar facilities for money making?
