We report with deep regret the sudden death of the president of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. Dr Fulton Gillespie of Edmonton, after presiding at a meeting of the College in Toronto, died in the train on his way home. His loss is felt deeply by all those who knew him and recognised how great a part he was playing in the destinies of the Royal College of Canada. Messages of sympathy were sent from the President of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, and from the British Orthopaedic Association. The new president is Professor Sclater Lewis of Montreal and to him our best wishes are sent in support of his onerous duty. Sir Reginald Watson-Jones, Arthur Sims Commonwealth Travelling Professor of Surgery, will be visiting the medical schools of Canada in February and March. In Montreal he will bring to the president of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada the greetings of the president and Council of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. He will be a guest-Professor in the University of Toronto, and will visit the medical schools of Vancouver, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Kingston, London Ontario, Quebec and Halifax.
