...Freeman, this instrument "is inserted in the anteromedial [front and centre] direction to a depth of four centimetres below the surface of the cortex.

Following the day, the Union was "democratized" by the unanimous adoption of a constitution providing that its president should be elected in convention from among its trustees. Father Coughlin was unanimously elected president to serve until another president should be elected, and there was a great demonstration...
