John Stuart Mill was born in London on the 20th of May 1806, and died at Avignon on the 8th of May 1873. He was of Scotch descent. He was connected with Edinburgh not only as having been an honorary member of this Society, but because his father, James Mill, the historian of British India, and author of the “Analysis of the Human Mind,” received his academical education here. His grandfather was a small farmer, at Northwater Bridge, in the county of Angus, of whom I find nothing more recorded. The father, by his extraordinary intellectual promise when a boy, drew the attention of Sir John Stuart, then member for Kincardineshire, by whom he was sent to the University of Edinburgh, at the expense of a fund, established by Lady Jane Stuart and some other ladies, for educating young men for the Church of Scotland. Towards the end of last century, James Mill attended the classes in Arts and Divinity. He was a pupil of Dalziel, the Professor of Greek, whose prelections he attended, I believe, for three sessions, and his philosophical powers were called forth by Dugald Stewart's lectures in Moral Philosophy.

Rating Criteria

A study of the variability between raters in scoring an oral clinical examination in psychiatry in the format of the certification by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada is reported. A video-taped examination from another centre was rated independently by academic psychiatrists, nonacademic psychiatrists and residents. Considerable inter-rater differences between and within these groups were found. In particular, the averaging of the marks of pairs of raters as occurs in the actual certification resulted in the outcome depending to a considerable degree on the chance pairings of raters. These findings support a number of previous studies and emphasize the need to train examiners and to develop clearer rating criteria.
