THE HARVEIAN ORATION.

income thence derived should be expended in awarding every third year a gold medal of the value of £30 to the person who should be deemed to have most distinguished himself by observation and research in clinical medicine. The award is not restricted to British subjects; but thus far it has not been considered necessary to go beyond the bounds of Great Britain to select one worthy of the Moxon Medal, as you will readily understand when I mention the names of Alfred Garrod, William Jenner, Samuel Wilks, William Gairdner, and Hughlings Jackson, on whom it has been conferred in succession.

13. Jenks Memorial Scholarship.—This is another group of scholarships established for the benefit of medical students. In 1893 Miss Johnstone, of Bath, bequeathed £5,000 in trust for founding five scholarships in memory of Dr. George Samuel Jenks, a former Fellow of this College. One scholarship is awarded annually, and is tenable for five years, its value being about £27. The nomination rests with the President and Censors of the Royal College of Physicians and the Council of the Royal College of Surgeons alternately, with a first claim or preference for students educated at and leaving Epsom College. This latter clause greatly enhances the practical usefulness of the Jenks Memorial Scholarship, and cannot fail to elicit our cordial approval and hearty sympathy.
