12 LIFE OF TEGETMEIER 



famous Sir William, Professor Carpenter (at one 

 time secretary of the Royal Society), Ray 

 Lankester, Ericson, Sir Spencer Wells, and 

 Seymour Haden were fellow-students and com- 

 petitors with him in the examinations. In 

 Materia Medica and Therapeutics also he took 

 honours, the only subjects in which he did not 

 do so being Anatomy and Physiology. This is 

 somewhat strange, considering that he studied 

 these subjects under the professorship of that 

 famous surgeon, Jones Quain. His attendance 

 at University College continued until April 1837, 

 in which year he began the next stage in his 

 professional education by practising medicine 

 and surgery at the University College Hospital, 

 through which he " walked " to September 1838. 

 Altogether, Tegetmeier took honours five times, 

 and medals twice — no mean record for an 

 intended follower of ^Esculapius.
