    THE KING’S COLLEGE REVIEW Lord Lister, who died on February 10th, was Professor of Clinical Surgery in King’s College from 1877 to 1892, when he was elected Emeritus Professor. He was also Surgeon to King’s College Hospital from 1877 to 1893, his first House Surgeon being Sir W. W. Cheyne, who came with him from Edinburgh. Lord Lister was a Life- Governor of King’s College. A very interesting appreciation of his work has been contributed, and will be found in another place. We also noticed the death, on January 23rd, of Lieut.-Gen. Sir Gordon Douglas Pritchard, K.C.B., Colonel Commandant, Royal Engineers, who was born in 1835, and was educated at King’s College. Lieut. Pritchard, as he was at that time, was present at the first relief of Lucknow, the battle of Cawnpore, the siege and capture of Lucknow, and other engagements in the Indian Mutiny. He also served in the war in China from 1860 to 1864. We are very pleased to see that Prof. C. G. Barkla has been recom- mended by the Council of the Royal Society for election as Fellow. We offer him our heartiest congratulations. Professor Ramirez, who had occupied the chair of Spanish since 1891, resigned his appointment at Christmas, owing to ill-health. A familiar figure at the College Gatehouse fourteen years ago has just passed away. Thomas Wright, who was gate porter for twenty-two years, had previously served in the Crimea, and had gained several medals. He died at the age of 82. Vol. XIV., No. i. March, 1912. COLLEGE NOTES.
