Upon the strength of these facts, which we believe are correct, we are filled with commiseration for the students of Trinity and for the editor of the Tripod in particular, who appears as a victim of the boldest, kind of injustice and official stupidity.

But the General Medican Council said, 'If you go to that blackleg you shall howl for it, as we will ruin any man who dares administer an anesthetic.'
