Honored Guests and Congratulations
Honored guests from medical schools in the United States and Europe were present at the dedication ceremonies. This certificate from the Registrary attests to the appointment of Sir G. Sims Woodhead (1855-1921), Professor of Pathology, as the representative of the University of Cambridge at the event.
The distinguished physicians and medical school deans who were present as official delegates of their institutions all signed this certificate.
The Medical School received formal letters of congratulation on the opening of the new buildings from other medical schools in the United States and from institutions abroad, including this unusual greeting from the rector of the Imperial University of Moscow.
Although invited to the dedication, physician Sir William Osler—who had just been named Oxford's Regius Professor of Medicine—could not attend, but did telegraph his congratulations.
