CEREMONY FOR THE PRESENTATION OF DIPLOMATES
At a ceremony held on 7th July I976 new diplomates
of the College were presented to the President. After
the formal ceremony the following address was
delivered by Professor R B Salter, President of the
Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada,
who had earlier been admitted to the Honorary
Fellowship of the College.
As a new fellow diplomate of this College I feel
as much at home in the Royal College of Surgeons
as you do since my wife and I were privileged to
use this College as our home base for a four-month
period in 1973 during my Sims Commonwealth
Professorship. I am sure that each of you shares
with me a deep sense of gratitude for all that we
have received from this Royal College-not only
the Fellowship but also fellowship in the sense of
brotherhood.
At this important milestone in your career, which
is really but a stepping stone in your professional
maturation-and certainly not a resting place-it
is appropriate to consider what we mean by the
terms 'fellow' and 'fellowship' for, as Voltaire has
said, 'If you would converse with me, define your
terms'.
The term 'fellow' comes from the ancient Icelandic word 'felagi'-a partner. Felagi in turn is a
combination of 'fe', meaning money or goods, and
'lag' meaning to lay down. Thus, historically, a
fellow is a partner in a group of fellows who share
a common goal and each fellow lays down his
goods to share them with others in the group.
Consequently the term 'fellowship' implies sharing
of both goods and goals and denotes brotherhood in
a sociological sense. In more modem usage the term
'fellow' is defined as an equal in rank, character, or
qualification, a privileged member of a learned
society.
The term 'fellowship' has become synonymous
with an alliance or association of fellows, a brotherhood, a family of fellows, une camaraderie, un
esprit de corps. It is on the basis of these relevant
definitions and synonyms that we should use the
terms 'fellow' and 'fellowship' as we converse about
this College-or perhaps we should say, this College
family.
College news
As new Fcllows of the Royal College you may
well be asking yourselves just what Fellowship in
this College will mean to you. Certainly the new
initials FRCS after your name will not in themselves make you a competent surgeon-either in your
own eyes or in the cyes of others. Indeed as an
old Latin adage states, 'Cucullus non facit monachum'-the cowl docs not make one a monk; or as
that magnificent English poet of the Middle Ages,
Chaucer, put it, 'For habit maketh no monk or the
weringe of gilte spurres no knight'. What counts far
more than your new Fellowship itself is what you
do with it for the benefit of others. A surge of
initiative inevitably surpasses a string of initials!
What your new Fellowship does mean to you is
that you now have all the privileges-as well as
the coexistent responsibilities-of full membership
in this distinguished Royal College. Your new
Fellowship which you have received this morning
with justifiable pride is bright and shiny today, but
it will remain so only if it is repeatedly bumished
with the touchstone of continuing medical education.
Maimonides, a famous physician of the I 2th
century, has put it this way in his Physician's Daily
Prayer: 'In all things let me be content, in all but
the great scicnce of my calling; let the thought
never arise that I have attained to enough knowledge; but vouchsafe to me ever the strength, the
leisure and the eagerness to add to what I know
for Art is great and the mind of man ever growing'.
Throughout life each and every Fellow of this
College has been given much and it is concerning
these gifts that I wish to converse with you-not as
that middle-aged man to whom I referred earlier
'who knows all the answers' but rather as a fellow
traveller on the path towards perfection and also as
a newly adopted brother of yours in this College
family.
St Luke, the beloved physician and by far the
most scholarly of the apostles, recorded a concept
that is particularly pertinent to our Fellowship in
this College when he wrote these words which I
quote from his Gospel, chapter XII, verse 48,
'Unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be
much required'. Let us consider how much we, as
Fellows of this College, have been given and how
little credit we merit for these gifts.
have been given an above-average
- We
intelligence that has enabled us to assimilate a
university education. This intelligence we have
inherited rather than merited.
-We have been given the devotion of parents
who have helped us to reach our inherent potential.
-We have been given the privilege of living in
a free country-a country in which we are free to
choose our careers as well as the place in which we
them.
-We have been given the physical and mental
health so essential to the study and practice of
pursue
medicine.
-We have been given the love, companionship,
and moral support of our wives-or husbands as the
case may be. It has been truly said that behind
every great man stands a wonderful wife-and, one
493
might add in lighter vein, there also stands a
greatly surprised mother-in-law!
-We have been given superb teaching by
countless dedicated individuals who have so
willingly shared their knowledge and experience
with us through both the spoken and the written
word.
The only credit we might conceivably merit in
relation to these many gifts is in proportion to
what we ourselves do with them. You, the new
Fellows of this College, are to be commended for
having combined these gifts with an extra measure
of initiative and hard work to reach this particular
landmark in your professional careers.
Unto us as Fellows much has been given. Of us
what and how much shall be required? Relevant
to this equation is the following quotation from the
writings of the mathematical genius Albert Einstein:
'Many times a day I realize how much my inner
and outer life is built upon the labours of my fellow
men, both living and dead, and how earnestly I
must exert myself in order to give in return as much
as I have received'. There are a number of ways in
which we, as Fellows of this College, can meet that
which is required of us-to give in return as much
as we have received.
For many, an opportunity for giving in return
lies in providing patient care-not just adequate care
but exemplary care, the kindly compassionate care
that 'goes the second mile' with our patients, the
type of care that is motivated by a humanitarian
approach to each patient as a person and yet is
consonant with contemporary scientific knowledge.
As Sir William Osler, the brilliant Canadian
physician-teacher, has said, 'The practice of
medicine is an art based on science'.
For many, an opportunity to give in return lies
in teaching-an opportunity that is not limited to
the university teacher of undergraduate and postgraduate students but is open to all specialists
wherever we may work. Even in the smallest community hospitals we have the opportunity to teach
those around us-our colleagues, nurses, and allied
health personnel. Surely there can be no more
meaningful way in which we can repay the debt we
owe our teachers than to teach others in return.
For some, an opportunity to contribute lies in the
broad field of research-whether it be through basic
or applied experimental investigations which, of
necessity, are almost confined to university
centres or through clinical investigations which are
not confined to such centres. Research is initiated by
an enquiring attitude of mind that asks intelligent
questions and seeks their answers through application
of the scientific method. As Sir Henry Tizard has
said, 'The secret of success in science is to ask the
right question'. Medicine must continue to progress
from the dark era of empiricism to the enlightened
era of science and each of us has an obligation to
enhance this progress.
For virtually all specialists an opportunity to give
in return lies in administration. As with teaching,
the opportunity to contribute administrative service
494
College news
is not limited to university professors-who are
being increasingly sacrificed on the altar of administration-but is open to all who are willing to
contribute time and thought to the work of committees or councils, whether they be for a local
hospital, a local medical association, or even a
natioilal organization such as your own specialty
association or, finally, this Royal College of Surgeons
of England into which you and I have been so
enithusiastically welcomed to full Fellowship today.
I am confideit that you, the new diplomates,
will cheerfully and effectively participate in the
affairs of this College and will further its aims. As
you go forth to pursue your chosen life's work as
surgical, dental, or anaesthetic specialists I
congratulate you most warmly and I wish you
continuing success. Especially I wish you the
exhilaration that comes from appreciating what we
have been given, and in return giving our professional
lives to the service of others.

This brief account would be wholly inadequate if it

quite remarkable generosity and friendliness of our
Australian hosts and their wives. The latter tried
hard, but without any success, to persuade my wife
and me that Australia is still very much 'a man's

and the evidence of the profound influence that
Australian women exercise on the cultural, social,
and intellectual life of the country is there for all
to see and admire.
NORMAN CAPENER TRAVELLING FELLOWSHIP
The President writes:
'Norman Capener died on 3oth March 1975, a
few months after receiving the Honorary Medal of
the Royal College of Surgeons. He had served on
the Council for I2 years, rising to Senior VicePresident, been active on every important subcommittee, and taken special interest in the Library
and the scientific work of the College as well as
in its artistic treasures.
'He was one of the foremost orthopaedic surgeons
of his generation who advanced the knowledge of
this specialty oIn many fronts, but he was also a
trained anatomist and spoke much of the 'generality'
of surgery and the need for co-operation between
its various disciplines. His surgical career started on
the Surgical Professorial Unit at St Bartholomew's
Hospital and from there he went to the University
of Michigan, Ann Arbor, as Assistant Professor of
Surgery. In I931 he was appointed surgeon to the
recently founded Princess Elizabeth Orthopaedic
Hospital, Exeter, where he established a comprehensive orthopaedic service for the whole of Devon,
caring for a widely scattered population. He
pioneered research into the spine and the hip and
in the development of appliances. He wrote and
published much. In 1958-59 he was President of
the British Orthopaedic Association. After his retirement from hospital practice he continued his interest
in accident surgery, becoming adviser to the Ministry
of Health and later Chairman of the Medical Commission on Acccident Prevention.
'Norman Capener was a great teacher by example.
He expected from his juniors the same high
standards that he set himself. In return he took
endless care in their training and gave unswerving
loyalty. He showed the greatest interest in their
careers and extended a similar courtesy to all those
who sought his advice. Many came to him from
overseas, particularly from Canada and Northem
Ireland. It was no surprise to me that several of his
old pupils should propose that a travelling fellowship be established in his memory, and I give the
project my warmest support. It is particularly
appropriate for it to be awarded by the College
which he served so well. The Council takes the view
that preference should be given to those engaged in
higher surgical training in orthopaedics or hand
surgery or to those who have recently completed
such a course. The candidate should be interested in
a research project and would be enabled to visit
those centres in the United Kingdom or abroad
which would further such studies. In this way
several of Norman Capener's ideals would be
remembered-orthopaedic research, scientific travel,
and the writing of good English. I commend this
project to all those, surgeons and patients alike, who
have benefited directly or indirectly from Norman
Capener's work and ask for their generous support'.

THE JACKSONIAN PRIZE
In the year i 8oo 'The Royal College of Surgeons in
London' was created by Royal Charter and in that
same year Samuel Jackson FRS MRCS gave a sum of
money to found a prize to be given for a dissertation
on a practical surgical subject. This then is the
oldest award in the life of the College and one that
is most prestigious; indeed, it was calculated in 1949
that 30% of those who have won it have been
elected to Counicil and I2% have become President.
The regulations have been revised from time to
time and those eligible now include all Members
and Fellows, and in addition Fellows in Dental
Surgery and Anaesthetics. The prize is still offered
annually for a dissertation on a practical subject in
surgery and the only preliminary requirement is
that the title should be acceptable to Council.
Candidates are required to send their name in a
sealed envelope with a distinguishing motto or device
on the outside which is also placed on the dissertation. The entries are thus judged anonymously and
when the Chairman of the Prize Committee reads
out the motto of the winning submission at quarterly
Council the President opens the appropriate envelope
and declares the name of the winner.
Mr Jackson's original endowment was of £333 6s 8d,
which provided an award of £io. The income
College news
from the initial investment, being rather modest, is
supplemented nowadays from the general funds of
the College and the prize is now fifty guineas, or
£52.50 in modem terminology, and there is also
a bronze medal. The prize, however, is not
measured in financial terms, for its real value lies
in the very considerable distinction it confers on the
winner. The roll-call of awards reads like a history
of surgery and includes such household names as
Alcock, Hulme, Watson-Cheyne, Hey Groves,
497
Russell Brock, and Rodney Smith.
Thus the Jacksonian Prize has become during the
past I 75 years the premier award for the Fellows
and Members of the College who aspire to high
places in surgery, dentistry, and anaesthetics and it
is hoped that this brief note may help to bring it to
their attention.

BRITISH ASSOCIATION OF OTOLARYNGOLOGISTS
Excerpts from the Honorary Secretary's Newsletter, June 1976
Audiological Medicine The first meeting of the Subcommittee on Audiological Medicine of the
Specialist Advisory Committee on Neurology was
held at the Royal College of Physicians on 22nd
October 1975, when the training and functions of
the future Consultant Medical Audiologist were
considered.
It has been agreed by the subcommittee that when
senior registrar posts in audiological medicine are
to be inspected for the suitability of this training
scheme a member of the Specialist Advisory Committee in Otolaryngology shall be included in the
visiting panel.
Now that the new specialty of audiological
medicine has been recognized it rests with those
otolaryngological departments which wish to do so
to make application through their area health
authorities for the appointment of a consultant audiological physician.
Rehabilitation of the adult deaf In an attempt to
arrive at some estimate of the need for rehabilitative
measures (including lip-reading and audiotory
training) for deafened adults the honorary secretary
sent specially printed audiogram forms to every
member of the association and asked for copies of
the audiograms of all such patients over I6 years of
age seen during the two weeks commencing sth May
1975. The results of this survey have been communicated to a working party of the Medical
Research Council and to the Advisory Committee on
Services for Hearing Impaired People (ACSHIP) of
the Department of Health and Social Security.
Specialist training and registration-Merrison Report
A conference was held on 24th February I976 by
the General Medical Council to discuss the Merrison
Report's recommendations on education and registration.
With reference to specialist training and registration it has been suggested that the 'specialist register'
should include on the one hand those who have
achieved accreditation (in accordance with the
requirements of the Joint Higher Training Committees
of the British Royal Colleges) and on the other hand
those who have acquired certification (in accordance
with the requirements of the EEC's Medical
Directives).
In otolaryngology full accreditation is to be
granted only to those who have completed at least
three years in an approved post, of which two years
must be at senior registrar level, after obtaining the
Fellowship of one of the Royal Colleges of Surgeons;
but certification may be granted, for EEC purposes
only, after candidates have attained a Fellowship
and completed three years' experience in an approved
post, not necessarily gained after attaining the
Fellowship. Such certification would allow British
graduates to compete on equal terms with European
graduates, who undergo a shorter training, and the
principle of certification has been approved by
Council. However, they would not approve any
proposal that the DLO should be recognized for
specialist registration in otolaryngology.
The secretary of the Specialist Advisory Committee in Otolaryngology, Mr Alan at the Royal
College of Surgeons, should know when a trainee
has completed the required period of training for
'accreditation' and he will usually inform the
candidate that he has been accredited when he has
fulfilled these requirements; but the onus is on the
candidate to apply for this 'accreditation'.

Notes on books
Operative Surgery edited by Charles Rob
and Sir Rodney Smith, 3rd edn. Vol. i, Ear,
edited by John Ballantyne. 197 pages, illustrated. Butterworths, London. £I5.
This is the first volume of the third edition of Rob
and Smith's Operative Surgery. The ear has been
separated from the nose and throat because of the
recent expansion in operations on the ear, especially
in attempts to re-form the tympanic membrane, in
otoneurology, and in tumour surgery. The contributors are from Britain, Europe, and America, so
that the techniques are in keeping with international
practice. The editor of this volume is to be congratulated on his selection of topics, and the standard
of production and illustration augur well for the
subsequent volumes in this new edition. This is an
outstanding, up to date, and authoritative text on
surgery of the ear.
Clinical Tests of Oesophageal Function
by Richard Earlam. 383 pages, I3I illustrations. Crosby Lockwood Staples, London. £12.
If one is to offer any criticism of this book it is
that the title suggests a far more limited consideration
of the oesophagus than the author undertakes in the
text. In fact this thoughtful monograph spends four
chapters on studies of function under normal conditions, six chapters on disorders of oesophageal
function, and a final chapter on surgical procedures.
The text is clear and statements are backed up with
plentiful references. Footnotes are included about
named pioneers in the field, and a list of historical
landmarks is given at the end of the book. This work
should interest not only clinicians but also those
intending to carry out research, who need a good
grounding in the immense amount of work that
has already been carried out.
