Dennis of New York the rare distinc- tion of the honorary fellowship of the college. The fellowship of the College of Surgeons, one of the, if not the, high- est surgical distinctions of Great Bri- tain, has for many years past been ob- tainable only after a most rigid exami- nation, though formerly it was an honor conferred by election upon selected members, as the fellowship of the Col- lege of Physicians still is. When the change was made, however, the right was reserved of granting two honorary fellowships annually honoris causa, upon selected members of the college of twenty years’ standing: This is, we un- derstand, the first time that the hon- orary fellowship has been conferred up- on an American surgeon, though there are many such who are members of the college. Mr. Thomas Frederick Cha- vasse, a prominent and brilliant surgeon of Birmingham, England, is the other recipient of the honor.” | *74—C. D.
