    From Sir George T. Beatson, K.C.B., M.D., Surgeon to the Western Infirmary, Glasgow. 7 WooDSiDE Crescent, Glasgow, \^th December., 1907. I UNDERSTAND from Mr. ALFRED YoUNG that he is a candidate for the post of Examiner in Clinical Surgery in the University of Edinburgh and it gives me great pleasure to say how well qualified he is in every way for the position. Mr. Young has been for several years connected with the Glasgow Western Infirmary and is at present an Assistant Surgeon on the Staff of that Hospital. He has, too, for some time assisted Sir Hector Cameron, Professor of Clinical Surgery in Glasgow University, in the work of the Clinical Wards in the Western Infirmary, and has taken a share in the instruction and training of the students. In this way Mr. Young has had that valuable Hospital experience which is essential for any one desirous to act as Clinical Examiner, and to do so successfully. In addition Mr. Young has shown by his published cases that he is a skilful and up-to-date surgeon, and his record of work in the Western Infirmary is an excellent one. I do not think any one better qualified by training and ability could be found to act as Clinical Examiner, and I know that Mr. Young would be found an agreeable colleague as well as considerate and impartial towards those examined.
