THE MEDICAL SOCIETY OF KING'S COLLEGE, LONDON. The object of this Society is the cultivation of Medicine and the auxiliary sciences, by the propagation of a spirit of original observation and research, and of a feeling of friendship and cooperation among those engaged in the pursuit of those sciences. The Society consists of Honorary, Corresponding, and Ordinary Members, with Office-bearers. The Office-bearers are all elected by the Society: one of the Honorary Secretaries, the Treasurer, and three members of the Council being ordinary Members. An ordinary meeting of the Society is held one evening in the week, during the sessions, in the Medical Library of the College. At each weekly meeting, a paper is read on some medical or auxiliary scientific subject, and a discussion on it follows. Communications from Corresponding Members are read and discussed. Each member has the privilege of introducing two friends at every ordinary meeting, and the author of the paper of the evening, an unlimited number. Papers or essays are solicited from all the members of the Society; those intending to read papers or essays are requested to send in notice of the subject of their papers to the Honorary Secretaries, who will set them down, with the name of the author of each, in a book, in the order in which they receive them, and they will in that order be read, one at each weekly meeting. Applications for membership, are to be addressed to the Secretaries of the Medical Society of King's College, London, by whom they will be announced at the next ordinary meeting. Members are elected by ballot, after having been proposed and seconded. There is a prize of the value of five pounds, annually, pre sented to that member who has read the best essay during the session. There is an Honorary Certificate, annually, presented to the member who has most distinguished himself in discussion during the session. The Society also annually gives a prize for the best essay on a subject to be chosen by the Dean of the Medical Depart ment. These prizes are awarded at the close of the Winter Session; the last, by two of the Medical professors of King's College, London, selected by the Council of the Society; the two former, by the judgment of the members, taken by ballot, at the annual general meeting. Neither of these prizes is awarded to any member who has previously obtained the same prize, or who has completed his fourth year of study, at any College or Medical School, or who has not been a member of this Society for at least four months.
