THE Right Hon. H. H. Asquith, Lord Rectorof the University of Glasgow, presided all a dinner

given by the Glasgow University Club, London, at the

Trocadéco, London, on Dec. 7th. A number of medicalmen were present, amongst whom were Lieutenant-Colonel W. Babtie, V.C., R.A.M.C., Dr. C. 0. Hawthorne,Dr. G. A. Heron, Dr. Donald MacAli-ter, Mr. ChicheleNourse, Sir Richard Douglas Powell, Dr. T. D. Savill,and Dr. Leonard Williams. Mr. Asquith, in proposingthe toast of "The University and the Club," said thatthey were told that the University of Glasgow was

founded some four and half centuries ago by PopeNicholas V., the first of the humanist Popes. Glasgowwas not the oldest of the European universities, ranking inpoint of age below Paris and Bologna, but the prescience ofthe Pope had been justified. The peculiar characteristic ofthe University of Glasgow was its juxtaposition with a greatand growing industrial community. He hoped the clubwould continue to be a meeting place for men comingfrom Glasgow University and that it would always bea bond of union in the great metropolis of Glasgow.Professor J. Adams proposed the toast of "The Guests,"which was replied to by Sir Richard Douglas Powellwho praised the city of Glasgow for the great progressmade there in sanitation. Professor MacCallum ofAustralia also responded to this toast and described howmany medical men at Sydney belonged to an associa-tion there of graduates and old students of GlasgowUniversity. Mr. W. Lorimer submitted the toast of "TheChairman," and Mr. Asqaith having acknowledged the com-pliment the proceedings terminated.

MONDAY, DEC. 10TH.

Sleeping Sickness.Mr. REES asked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies

whether he was aware that Sir Patrick Manson and Dr. Daniell hadsatisfactorily established the fact that a cure for sleeping sickness hadbeen discovered by a medical practitioner in Ceylon : and, if so,whether he would supply the authorities in the British Central Africaand other Protectorates with the necessary information in view of theapprehensions entertained in such quarters regarding the spread ofthis disease.-Mr. CHURCHILL answered : I have communicated withSir Patrick Manson who informs me, I am sorry to say, that there isno truth in the statement to which my honourable friend refers.

Registration of Still born C’hildren.Sir WALTER FOSTER asked the President of the Local Government

Board whether he had considered the advisability of introducing aBill to deal with the registration of still-born children; and, if so,whether he could deal with the subject of death certification generallyor partially, in accordance with the recommendations of the SelectCommittee of 1893. Mr. JOHN BURNS said : I think that, it is desirablethat the law as to registration of still-born children should be amendedwhen a suitable opportunity offers, but I am not in a position apresent to promise a Bill on the subject or to say how far any such

Bill could deal with the other matters referred to in the report of theSelect Committee.

Infantile Rfortalify.Mr. BRAMSDON asked the Secretary of State for the Home Depart-

ment whether, considering the high death-rate amongst infants underone year, some of the causes of which were preventable, he was takinganv steps, and, if so, what, to deal with the matter; and, in particular.whether it was suggested that a Royal Commission should beappointed to examine into and report apnn the whole question ofinfantile mortality with a view of legislation being introduced at anearly date.-Mr. JOHN BURNS answered. He said: The Governmentfully realises the importance of the subject of infantile mortality and Iam collecting information with reference to the intluences affecting it.A suggestion has been made as to the appointment of a Royal Com-mission to inquire into the matt,er, but I do not think that it wouldbe desirable to appoint such a commission at the present time.
