Dr. Ferguson ' s warmth and friendliness have made him a familiar figure in the College and Hospital and have endeared him to his students. We shall remember the cholecystectomies, the gastrectomies, the vagetomies and the require- ments for Board Certification in Retractor Hold- ing, but, most of all, we shall remember The Professor.
