Drs. S. D. Gross and Elisha Bartlett have been appointed to the
chairs of Surgery, and Institutes, and Practice of Medicine in the Uni-
versity of New York. Both these gentlemen held the same chairs in
the University of Louisville, of which institution they were valued and
efficient members. Dr. Gross, is well known as the author of an ad-
mirable and standard work on Pathological Anatomy, and as editor of
Liston's Elements of Surgery. And Dr. Bartlett as author of a work
on Fevers, most favorably received by the profession; and of an Essay
on the Philosophy of Medical Science, and one on Certainty in Medi-
cine.
The faculty of New York University have added to their strength in
these appointments, and we congratulate them on having secured the
services of such experienced collaborators.
