Ingersoll Lecture by Professor Osler

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The Ingersoll Lecture for the current year will be given some time in May by Professor William Osler, M.D., of Johns Hopkins University, whose subject will be "Science and Immortality." This is the sixth lecture provided since 1893, when the bequest was made. The last lecture was that given by the late Dr. John Fiske in 1900 on the subject of "Life Everlasting." The bequest provides that the lectures shall be on the general subject of the "Immortality of Man," and that each lecture shall be published after it has been delivered.

Dr. Osler, who has been Professor of Medicine at Johns Hopkins since 1889, is a graduate of McGill University and has studied in London, Berlin and Vienna. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society and of the College of Physicians in London.
