demeaned himself by embracing the opportunity thus afforded him of adding to the store of knowledge of his profession he before possessed, great and remarkable as it was, by universal assent, allowed to be. No; my friend Dr. McLennan, in his mature age, again frequented the scenes of his youth; he visited the Hospitals, and the numerous Medical and scientific Institutions with which the metropolis of England happily abounds; and finally crowned his labors by obtaining a first rate honorary degree! Let me hold up this bright example to your imitation, and exhort you to lose no opportunity of acquiring that extensive knowledge and experience which can alone make you skilful and successful practitioners.

In conclusion, I implore the blessing of Almighty God on this noble Institution. May it, and the Hospital attached to it, founded by one whose deeds of charity and munificence have made his name known and respected in every quarter of the globe, continue to flourish and prosper; may the Grant Medical College, and the Jamsetjee Jejeebhoy Hospital, continue to be a mutual aid and support to each other, the one teaching the theory, and the other the practice of the Medical profession; and may both increase in value and usefulness year by year.

The meeting then broke up.
