CABOT WELCOMES U. OF M. JOB

Dr. Hugh Cabot, '94, who has resigned as Professor of Surgery at the Medical School, to take a position as chief surgeon of the University of Michigan, will not leave Boston until December, as his new duties do not commence until the first of January.

In speaking of his appointment and of the reasons for his leaving Dr. Cabot said yesterday:

"I am persuaded to go because there is a great opportunity to influence, not only the teaching of medicine, but the future of the medical practice of the country. Endowed universities give the country its culture; state universities give it its education. State universities have a peculiar relation to the state government by which they can influence more directly than endowed institutions, the practice, not only of medicine, but of other departments. Many wise people believe that there is a distinct development in the direct state control of the medical practice. I agree with them. If this is true, it is of vital importance that the medical departments of state universities should play an important part in influencing and shaping that development.

Decorated for War Work.

Dr. Cabot, who is chief surgeon of the Massachusetts General Hospital and director of clinics of the State Board of Health, went to England in 1916 with the first University Unit, and was commander of General Hospital 22, B. E. F., with the rank of lieutenant-colonel. He has lately been made a companion of the order of St. Michael and St. George for his work with the British.
