    CHESTERFIELD AND ^ NORTH DERBYSHIRE ROYAL HQSmTAL, REPORT Of the Board of Management for the Year ended 31st December, 1934. ‘ The Board of Management beg to present their Annual Report and Statement of Accounts for the past year ended 31st December, 1934, this being the 81st year since the establishment of the Hospital. It is with the greatest regret that the Board have to report the death of two Vice-Presidents, Mr. G. A. Eastwood and Mr. W. B. M. Jackson. Mr. Eastwood had been a member of the Board for thirty-four years, Vice- Chairman since 1902, and was made a Vice-President in 1931. During the whole of this long period, Mr. Eastwood never spared himself in his work for the Institution and was for sixteen years Chairman of the House Committee. He was also a very generous donor to the Hospital and his benefactions included the gift of Holywell House and grounds in 1919. His death is a most serious loss to the Institution and the Board desire to place on record their very sincere regret and their great appreciation of his many services. Under his will the Hospital will receive a Legacy of £10,000. Mr. W. B. M. Jackson had been a member of the Board since 1900, being appointed a Vice-President in 1911. Although latterly he had not taken an active part in the administrative work of the Board, he had always taken a deep interest in the welfare of the Hospital. The portrait of Mr. E. C. Barnes, which was referred to in the last Report, was presented to him on August 8th by the President, His Grace the Duke of Devonshire. A replica had also been painted and Mr. Barnes retained this, handing over the Portrait to the Hospital. This has now been hung in the Board Room. Mr. A. Garrick Wilson, F.R.C.S., who joined the Hon. Staff as Orthopaedic Surgeon in 1922, resigned his position
