Albrecht Von Haller

In the Age of Enlightenment medical education was based on new fundaments. According to experts at that time, a medical faculty had to have five branches: anatomy, botany, chemistry, practical and theoretical medicine. Perhaps Göttingen was the most successful university foundation at that time, because a generous financial support was provided, outstanding professors were invited and an education without censorship was warranted. The spirit of Enlightenment affected both the structure and the standards of education of the facultas medicinae. The word-wide reputation of this faculty was earned by Albrecht von Haller. Haller conceived both the still highly regarded botanical garden and the anatomical theatre, which was the first of its kind in the German speaking area. Furthermore, he founded one of the first clinical obstetrics departments in the world. Students gained theoretical knowledge, were trained practically and had the opportunity to make scientific observations and medical experiments. This paper describes the founding era of the medical faculty of University of Göttingen from a historical-cultural view of point, based on contemporary documents from Germany and Hungary. Orv.

All but one of the previously unpublished fragments of Diogenes' inscription presented in this article were discovered at Oenoanda by members of a British Institute of Archaeology at Ankara team in the summer of 1977. The exception is NF 108, which (see under NF 108, Discovery) was recorded by an Austrian epigraphist a mere seventy-five summers earlier.In 1977 the aims were to carry forward the topographical and epigraphical survey begun in 1974 and continued in 1975 and (in a very limited way) 1976, to study the architecture of the city, and to make plans for a major excavation of the site. The work was again carried out with the kind permission and encouragement of the Eski Eserler ve Müzeler Genel Müdürlüǧü in Ankara and with generous financial support from the British Academy, and it is a pleasure to express sincere gratitude to both bodies.The members of the team were: Mr. A. S. Hall (Director), Mr. R. P. Harper (Assistant Director), Dr. J. J. Coulton, Dr. R. J. Ling, Dr. Lesley Ling, and three student-members of the Department of Land Surveying, North-East London Polytechnic—Messrs. David Chapman, Simon Dykes, and David Howarth. The representative of the Turkish Government, as in 1974 and 1976, was Bay Osman Özbek.

It is now close upon twenty-five years since the first flints from beneath the Red Crag of Suffolk—and claimed to have been flaked by man—were placed before the scientific world. During the period of time which has elapsed since 1907, a great deal of careful excavation, carried out by means of generous financial support given by the Royal Society, the Percy Sladen Fund, the Wellcome Historical Medical Museum, the Field Museum of Chicago and other Institutions, has been undertaken, and in consequence, a very considerable body of knowledge regarding the archaeological, and other contents of the Suffolk Bone Bed, has been accumulated.I propose, therefore, to take as the subject of my Presidential Address, “The Culture of Pliocene Man;” to place before you the evidence which makes it possible to use such a title in describing the sub-Red Crag artefacts, and to draw your attention to certain remarkable facts and conclusions relating to these specimens which must now be faced and considered. But it is necessary, first of all, to give a brief account of the Red Crag and the Suffolk Bone Bed (sometimes also called the Detritus Bed or the Nodule Bed) which underlies it, and in which the relics of man have been found.

Tristan da Cunha and the three neighbouring islands of Inaccessible, Nightingale and Gough support a unique flora and fauna, poor in numbers of species but rich in endemics. Many of the endemics occur throughout the archipelago while others, some of great peculiarity, such as the flightless birds, are confined to single islands. Knowledge of the environmental conditions which have prevailed during the evolution of such a biota is very much to be desired. It is in this respect that examination of the damage caused by the volcanic eruption which began on Tristan da Gunha during October 1961 is most important. There are over thirty secondary eruptive centres which form very fresh, prominent features of the topography of Tristan. It is highly probable that the biota has suffered from volcanic activity many times in ways similar to, if not more severe than, those which occurred during 1961 and 1962. Soon after the eruption started, the Royal Society began to organize an expedition to study the new volcano, to make a geological survey of the Tristan archipelago and to investigate the effects of the eruption on the vegetation and fauna. Details of the history of the Expedition and the geological results are given by Baker, Gass, Harris & Le Maitre (1964). The inclusion of a botanist (J. H. Dickson) and a zoologist (D. E. Baird) was made possible by the generous financial support given to the project by the Trustees of the World Wildlife Fund.

IAU Symposium No. 81, “Dynamics of the Solar System”, was held at the Hydrographic Office, Tokyo, Japan, during 23–26 May 1978. The Symposium was cosponsored by COSPAR and IUTAM, and generous financial support was also provided by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science. IAU sponsorship was through Commissions 4, 7 and 20, and the Scientific Organizing Committee consisted of the current Presidents, Vice Presidents and immediate Past Presidents of these Commissions: V. K. Abalakln, R. L. Duncombe, Y. Kozai, L. Kresfik, B. G. Marsden (Chairman), P. J. Message, A. M. Sinzi, G. Sitarski and V. G. Szebehely.
