Hong Kong University for four consecutive weeks in the Lancet and the British Medical Journal, applications were received from ten candidates, one of whom subsequently withdrew upon receiving an appointment under the Rockefeller Foundation in
America, The Selection Committee, which included Professor
7. R. Elliott, F.R.S., Professor F. R. Fraser, Dr. G. C. Low
of the London School of Tropical Medicine and Mr. A. G. Warren, did not consider that any one of the remaining nine candidates
possessed the requisite qualifications for the post; and at
its meeting on November 23rd, the medical members, Professors
Elliott and Fraser and Dr. Low, undertook to make further
enquiries as to the possibility of obtaining other candidates.
As a result of their action, an application was received
from Dr. John Anderson of the London School of Tropical
Medicine. The Selection Committee have interviewed Dr.
Anderson and notwithstanding his age
recommend him for appointment.
