Mrs. Carroll has been granted a pension of $125 a month on which to support herself, seven young children and the aged mother of her husband. The house, which Major Carroll had partly paid for, is mortgaged for $5,000. Since the conference adjourned the medical officers of the Army have raised enough to pay the taxes on the house, one monthly note of $50 and the overdue interest on the first mortgage, amounting to $125. Believing that the members of the medical profession will wish to contribute toward a fund for the purpose of paying the balance due on the house, the committee requests contributions of any amount. They may be sent to Major M. W. Ireland, United States Army, Washington, D. C. The editors of THE BULLETIN sincerely hope our alumni will honor the memory of our most distinguished alumnus by contributing liberally to this most worthy cause. ------- At the last regular meeting of the University of Maryland Medical Association, held in the amphitheatre of the University Hospital, Tuesday, March 16, 1909, the program was as follows: 1, "The General Practitioner: His Relation to His Patients, to His Fellow Practitioners and to the Community in Which He Lives," Dr. Guy Steele, Cambridge, Md.; 2, "Medical Ethics," Dr. Samuel C. Chew. Dr. A. M. Shipley, the president, was in the chair, and called the meeting to order promptly at 8.30 P. M. The attendance was large and appreciative, and listened to two remarkably able addresses. Those who had the privilege and pleasure of listening to the words of wisdom and advice both of Dr. Chew and Dr. Steele went away with a clearer conception of their duties to their professional brethren and the public. Immediately after the adjournment of the Medical Association the Adjunct Faculty, with its president, Dr. Joseph W. Holland, in the chair, held a very important meeting, the gist of which is as follows: Resolved by the Adjunct Faculty of the Medical Department of the University of Maryland that the Board of Regents be implored to effect such changes in the charter as to make possible the election of a president with a fixed salary, and with the duties usually associated with that office in standard universities, and a Board of Administrators independent of teaching faculties. The Adjunct Faculty also endorsed tentative plans looking towards the formation of an advisory board of alumni counsellors. ------- At the meeting of the Section on Ophthalmology and Otology, Thursday, March 11, 1909, at the Faculty Hall, the following of our alumni read papers: "Rodent Ulcer of the Cornea (Ulcus Rodens Mooren), with Exhibition of the Case," Dr. R. L. Randolph; "Purulent Otitis Media of Infancy and Childhood," Dr. H. O. Reik. ------- At the meeting of the Section on Neurology and Psychiatry, Friday, March 12, 1909, the following participated: "History and Forms of Chorea," Dr. N. M. Owensby;
