The Skull A Herbert Tilley, F.R.C.S., M.D. Consulting Surgeon (Dis. Ear. Noso and Throat) University Collego Hospital (London) Ex-President: The Medical Society of London $ I WRITE these lines, it is exactly a year ago (February 20. 1932) since Mr. Wilfred Trotter. F.R.S.. took, as the subject of his Hunterian Oration before the Royal College of Surgeons— The Commemoration of Great Men. In that memorable and profoundly thoughtful address, the following paragraph will be found: It is possible that a future and more realistic age may reach the conclusion that the time to celebrate its heroes is while they are alive, and not to wait with our remarkable patience until they are safely dead. Such an age will perhaps reason in its clear way that its duty towards its great men is to get as much out of them as it can. and that no piety after their death can equal in effectiveness for the purpose, a receptive and sympathetic understanding during their lives. These lines came to my mind when the invitation reached me to send some message for the annual publication of The Skull. which is to be dedicated to my long-time, valued, and loyal friend—Dr. Chevalier Jackson. Here—I said to myself—is a splendid opportunity for obeying the injunction of our Hunterian Orator to praise a Master-mind in medicine while he is yet with us, and who, for all time—will rank with those of whom it has been said—“These were honoured in their generations, and were the glory of the times. (Ecdesiasticus xliv. 7.) But. Mr. Editor, with only mere words as an executive medium, my task is as hopeless as it is honourable, nor would I undertake it, if it were not with the certain knowledge that the cement which binds an understanding friendship will not be loosened by any poverty of expression on my part. Memory takes me back some thirty years to the occasion when I first met Chevalier Jackson in London at a Medical Congress, and like many of my colleagues, I was struck with his modest demeanour, his stubborn adherence to facts acquired by personal experience, and his I don't know where he did not consider a final expression of opinion was warranted. It was in those days that Killian had already established the value of Direct Endoscopy of the Larynx, and Lower Air Passages and the Oesophagus, especially as a means of removing foreign bodies from those regions.
