THE COMMITTEE 
" Mr. Fisher attends the medical schools, or somewhere else, more 
than he does this College. He is at times a fortnight away at 
once ; and I may safely say that, upon an average, he does not 
attend more than one lecture out of ten. As it regards his attend- 
ance upon Mr. Barth’s demonstrations, which are from ten to eleven 
(or ought to be), I can safely say I have not seen him there more 
than once or twice ; nor do I think he attended half a dozen times 
during the last session. As to dissections, if he stands to that which 
he asserted that he would do, he will never dissect again ; nor do 
I think he will ever forget the lesson which the Assistant Profes- 
sor read to him at a late evening examination. 
<( We have not had one cow this session, but Mr. Sewell is 
making an infirmary at Islington upon the premises of Mr. Flight’s 
dairy, where Mr. Staveley resides. As it respects the state of 
College affairs, I would say they are much as they were when you 
were there ; but Mr. Barth, it is true, has improved a little , and thus 
given us hope of further amendment. The students are too often, 
on Mr. Sewell’s mornings, waiting and waiting and waiting, as they 
used to do, and losing their time ; and too frequently, after all, 
going away without any lecture, or the slightest apology for the 
omission of it. 
“ As to the infamous remark respecting your making free with 
other persons’ subjects, there are plenty here who will vindicate 
you to his face, if necessary, and who have had a far better oppor- 
tunity of knowing the real state of the case than he has.” 
[All personal controversy between Mr. Cartwright and Mr. Fisher 
must here cease ; but the subject of “ the present state of the 
College, and the prospects of the profession,” is open to every 
fair, and candid writer. — Y.]

Ne quid falsi dicere audcat, ne quid veri non audeat. — C icero. 
Many of our readers are aware that “ the Committee of Veteri-
