objects of the College Iby affording improved , means of instruction in medicine and surgery to the medical students , and that the first
stone was laid by Lord Brougham . The Committee having for some time anxiously directed their

subject to the control of the Matron of the Hospital . This temporary arrangement ceases on the 2 nd of June , and the whole
charge of the nursing department is to devolve on the Superior of the Home .
