ROYAL AUSTRALASIAN COLLEGE OF SURGEONS
FACULTY OF ANESTHETISTS
A FACULTY of Anaesthetists within the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons was formally inaugurated on 25th August, 1952, at the College. At that meeting Sir Gordon Gordon-Taylor presented to the Faculty an illuminated message from the Faculty of Anaesthetists of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. The object of the Faculty is to improve, by all means possible, the art and science of Anaesthetics. In this object the College is most anxious to help. As soon as an election can be held in accordance with the regulations approved on the 25th August, 1952, a Board of the Faculty, which shall govern its affairs, will be elected. In the meantime an Acting Board, consisting of Sir Victor Hurley, Mr. Henry Searby, Drs. H. J. Daly, J. Ellis Gillespie, S. V. Marshall, D. G. Renton, L. G. Travers and G. R. Troup, was authorized to act under the Chairmanship of the Acting Dean, Dr. D. G. Renton. The establishment of this Faculty is the happy culmination of the efforts of Sir Victor Hurley and Mr. Henry Searby; together with Drs. H. J. Daly, G. R. Troup, D. G. Renton, L. G. Travers and J. Ellis Gillespie, who were appointed by the Australian Society of Anaesthetists in 1950 to conduct the necessary negotiations with the College.

appropriate qualifications, and recommendations will be made to the College Council for admission to membership of those approved by the Board of the Faculty. The Board may also submit a limited number of names annually to the College Council for election to Fellowship of the Faculty. The Secretary of the Faculty is Mr. H. G. Wheeler, Royal Australasian College of Surgeons, Spring Street, Melbourne, C.I, to whom all enquiries should be addressed. The Australian Society of Anaesthetists is to be congratulated on its wish to establish this scientific body which it believed was a natural development of that Association; the functions of the Faculty will be essentially educational and academic, and will not in any way lessen the importance of, or the work done by the Australian Society of Anaesthetists.
