Excerpt from Ophthalmic Literature, Vol. 7: April, 1917 We learn from the lancet that the late Dr. Gavin Paterson Tennent left to the University of Glasgow to establish a department and found a Chair of Ophthalmology in that University. The salary of the professor has been fixed at GBP500 a year, probably the largest salary paid for teaching this branch anywhere in the world. This professor has for his duty to apply himself to the pro motion of higher study in ophthalmology and to the advancement of knowledge by means of scientific observation and research. The opportunity must be attractive to anyone really interested in the subject, and it is to be hoped that the right man may be drawn to the position, wherever he may be found. It is also to be hoped that the example will be followed in other medical centers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
