THE HARVEIAN CEREMONIES.
DURING the week of the Harveian Festival the President and Council of the Royal College of Physicians of London attended Bow Church, Cheapside, to hear the sermon preached annually under the Sadleir Trust, the preacher being the rector, the Rev. Gordon Ponsonby. The address formed a beautiful supplement to Sir William Hale-White’s Harveian oration, which
printed in full in these columns last week, for he took as his theme the achievements of the Fellows of the College, who had died during the year, and whose lives had been dedicated to the progress of medicine along the many accesible paths made by Harvey’s wisdom. In the evening a dinner was held within the College ; the Speaker of the House of Commons (the Rt. Hon. J. H. Whitley), the President of the Royal Academy (Sir Frank Dicksee), the Secretary of State for Air (Sir Samuel Hoare), Prof. A. V. Hill (the was
