From the N. Y. Medical Gazette we glean the following items of
medical news :
RESIGNATION OF PROF. MOTT.
Dr. Valentine Mott, professor of surgery in the University of New
York, has tendered to the proper officers his resignation. The cause
which led him to take this step, was the appointment of Dr. Detmold to
the chair of Theory and Practice. Dr. Mott, it appears, was in Europe
at the time, and transmitted his resignation, conditioned upon the con-
tinuance of the appointment of Dr. Detmold ; whereupon Dr. Detmold
promptly resigned the chair to which he had been appointed, and it is
understood both, resignations have been accepted.
