Professor o f Anatomy Gives Inaugural Lecture Prof. J. A. Gosling gave his inaugural lecture on ‘The Discipline of Human Anatomy 一 Historical Milestones, Current Status and Future Prospects' on 25th January. In his lecture Prof. Gosling traces the broad developments of the discipline of human anatomy since antiquity and describes the present status of the subject particularly in relation to tertiary education. He points out that in local universities, human topographical anatomy has administratively retained its direct links with other morphological sciences, and the subject of anatomy as a whole enjoys more advantages here in Hong Kong than in the UK or North America, where it has been dissected and stripped of its valuable component parts. He believes the local model is one to which other universities around the world will have to return.
