Mr. MAHONIE, in proposing the toast of “Sir John Lubbock, and the promoters of the Dentists Act,” said:—No words of mine can add additional lustre to the names—Sir John Lubbock, Mr. John Tomes, Mr. James Smith Turner. These men have earned a name for themselves which neither crayons nor oils—not even if they were placed in cathedral aisles—could add more; these men have laboured much—laboured hard; I beg to propose their health. Captain ROGERS, in responding, spoke of the great triumph Sir John Lubbock had accomplished in passing Bills connected with science, this Parliament. He had great pleasure in thanking them for the hearty manner in which they had received the names of these gentlemen connected with Dental Reform. Mr T MURPHY in proposing the “Manchester School of Medicine” said:—I have had put into my hands a toast to propose, which is so intimately connected with our branch of the profession, that it will require no eulogy on my part for it to be received with acclamation, I mean the Manchester Royal School of Medicine. Perhaps it will not be out of place if I give you a short outline of its history. It was founded by the late Mr. T. Turner in the year 1824; it was known for many years as the Pine Street School. In 1850 a second school was established, and being connected as I then was with a hospital in this city, I can well remember the jealousy there was about the subjects that were sent out; first one school and then another complaining that they were not getting their fair share, and I must admit that the leaning was towards the old school, which I think got, on the whole, rather more than its share. In 1858 the founders of the rival schools came to the conclusion that the interests of the students would be best promoted by an amalgamation, forgetting their differences and working together for the common weal. In this way, from the Union of the Pine Street and Chatham Street Schools, that school arose which has been long known as the Manchester School of Medicine. For sixteen years the work was carried on in Faulkden Street with difficulty both with regard to accommodation and light. About the year 1872, a meeting of the Owen’s College authorities met the leading Members of the medical staff, and it was agreed that it would be for the welfare of the School if it were handed over to the Owen’s College authorities. The result has been the erection of one of the finest Medical Schools in the kingdom, replete with everything necessary for the study of medicine. The course of instruction not only enables students to qualify for College and Hall, but affords the more aspiring every facility for qualifying themselves for the higher distinctions of their profession. When I mention the names of Turner, Jordan, Wilson, Smith, Wilkinson, Bradley, Southam, and last, but not least, the celebrated Dalton, and others, who have gone; Gamgee, Watson, Williamson, Roscoe, Roberts, Morgan, Lund, Simpson, Ransome, and other
