 for Dr. Dihigo, Secretary of the Faculty of 

 Letters and Sciences, and has collaborated 

 with him in founding the Review, organ 

 of that faculty (1905), and in editing a 

 biography of Dr. Jose Manuel Mestre by 

 Dr. Jose Ignacio Rodriguez which has 

 important bearing on Cuban political 

 evolution. 



In 1909 he represented his University at 

 the Inaugural of President Lowell of Har- 

 vard and in 19 14 received leave to visit the 

 maritime biological museums of Europe. 

 This trip was interrupted by the outbreak 

 of the European war and he hastened home. 



Mestre's first appearance in print was 

 with a translation of a French article on 

 Hygiene in 1883. Since then, aside from 

 the Doctor's theses and an incalculable 

 number of articles in newspapers, the 

 medical journals of Cuba have published, 

 and foreign journals have to an extent cited 

 or reproduced, the following articles: Ten-

 (1886); Hipnotismo. Irresponsabilidad de
