Abstract
THE main feature of Prof. Winifred Cullis's address to Section I (Physiology) is a plea for the training of more physiologists and a wider use of their services. Physiology, if it is to take its proper place in education, has a dual function to perform. Its importance in the teaching of medical students is well recognized; but there is too little appreciation of its other aspect as a science which, apart from its medical bearing, is important for the general health of the community. A plea for a wider recognition of this aspect was chosen for the address, not only because Prof. Cullis's war-time experience broke her contact with the more academic side of physiology, but also because in her opinion it is one insufficiently recognized and one in which she is able to draw upon personal experience.
