Abstract
REPORTS of the annual general and extraordinary general meetings of the Ross Institute and Hospital for Tropical Diseases, held on November 27, have now been released for circulation. At the eighth ordinary general meeting, the chairman, Sir Charles McLeod, surveyed the work of the Institute during the year, and the Council and Executive Committee were re-elected. At the extraordinary meeting, it was resolved to approve and confirm two agreements made between the Ross Institute, of the one part, and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and the Seamens' Hospital Society, respectively, of the other part, whereby the Ross Institute is amalgamated with the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and the Ross Hospital is incorporated in the Seamens' Hospital Society by the establishment of a “Ross Ward” in their Hospital for Tropical Diseases. The Court and Senate qf the University of London have expressed their satisfaction respecting the arrangement with the School of Hygiene. The Ross Institute thus comes to an end, but the name of Ross will still be perpetuated in the new amalgamations.
