THE MIDDLESEX HOSPITAL,-A meeting of theQuarterly Court of Governors was held at the MiddlesexHospital on Aug. 27th, to consider the scheme for theamalgamation of the Hospital and Medical School. Brieflystated, the scheme provides for the taking over by thehospital of all the property of the school, together with itsexisting liabilities, and the consequent remission of the debtnow due from the school to the hospital. Henceforth thehospital will receive the grcss income of the school, andafter payment of necessary charges will provide, accordingto the profits obtained, a fixed annual sum for the remune-ration of the teaching staff. These financial arrangementsare subject to revision, if necessary, at the expiration ofthree years. Another prominent feature of the sheme is theconstitution of a new body, the Council of the Medical School,to be composed of the chairman of the Weekly Board, repre-sentatives of the governors nominated by the Weekly Board,the honorary medical officers of the hospital, and the lecturersof the school. The Council will, under the supervision of theboard, control all matters relating to the finance and manage-ment of the school. The school committee will, as at present,regulate the teaching arrangements and discipline of the

school, but will exercise its powers in subordination to theCouncil. On the proposal of Sir Ralph Thompson, secondedby Dr. Coupland, this scheme was adopted.
