A ROSS INSTITUTE.

To Commemorate Great Discovery,

A letter is published in which the proposal is set forth to esta blish in London a Ronali Rose Institute of Research in Tropical Diseases, says the Times. The list of signatories includes the names of men greatly distingui- sbed in many departments of activity and constitutes of itself a proof that Sir Ronald Ross's ser. vices have laid most of the de-i partments of our life as an Empire under tribute.

"There is," the letter declares, a Pasteur Institute in Parie; a Kitasato Institute in "Japan; a Gorzan Institute at Panama" These foundations have already proved their usefulness; nor is the enthusiasm which the names associated with them inspire the least part of their value. Sir Ronald Rope's experience as a research worker and his great knowledge of the problems of tropical medicine which Atill aweit solution are national assets. An institute bearing hig namo and under his control and guid- ance must therefore, we believe, aerve a national purpose bath in the present and in succeeding! generations. Such an institute, as we are assared, will in no way compete with the work now being accomplished at the Schools of Tropical Medicine in London and! Liverpool. These badios are en- gaged for the most part in the education of young graduates; the aim of the new foundation will bo research alone..
