Abstract
CAMBRIDGE.—Last week the large theatre of the School of Anatomy was the scene of an interesting presentation to Dr. W. L. H. Duckworth, fellow of Jesus College and senior demonstrator in anatomy, on the completion of twenty-one years of devoted service to the University as lecturer in physical anthropology. This remarkable tribute to the esteem and affection in which he is held was the spontaneous desire of every demonstrator, assistant, and student to contribute some token of appreciation of Dr. Duckworth's unfailing courtesy and ever-ready help. His sympathy and charm of manner have made him one of the most approachable of teachers, and endeared him to all who have come in contact with him during his period of service. A fine inscribed silver salver was presented to Dr. Duckworth, together with a book containing the signatures of two hundred and twenty subscribers, by Dr. D. Reid on August 13 in the presence of the staff and students of the anatomy department. In addition to his brilliant academic qualities, Dr. Duckworth has shown great capacity for organisation, especially during the past year, when the chair of anatomy has been vacant and the entire control of the anatomy department has devolved upon him.
