...reunion of medical with other studies has been effected at University and Kings colleges. In this country, as we know, there are medical schools connected with our universities and colleges, but a university course is not compulsory for a medical student.

Each of us has conducted morning prayers for about seven weeks, and each has preached on four Sunday evenings. The remaining services on Sunday have been led by the following preachers through our invitation...
