For the Year

REGINALD DUDFIELD, M.B., D.P.H.,
Medical Officer of Health.
" Where you promote health and arrest disease, where you convert an unhealthy citizen into a healthy
one, where you exercise your authority to promote sanitary conditions and suppress those which are the
reverse, you, in doing your duty, are also working for the Empire. ' Sanitas sanitatum, omnia sanitas.
said one of your dead Rectors, and he did not greatly exaggerate. Health of mind and body exalt a nation
in the competition of the universe."
—Lord Rosebery, Rectorial Address, Glasgow, 1900.
