has the following: “It is with great
pleasure we record the fact that in April
the Royal College of Surgeons of Eng-
land conferred upon Dr. Frederic S.
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.” |
