THE JOHN HORSLEY MEMORIAL PRIZE IN MEDICINE
This prize carries an emolument of $1,000. It was founded in 1925
by Dr. J. Shelton Horsley, of Richmond, Va., as a memorial to his father,
Mr. John Horsley, of Nelson County, Virginia. The prize will be awarded
every two years by a committee of the Medical Faculty of the University
of Virginia for the best thesis upon some subject in general surgery. The
term "general surgery" is used in a broad way and includes the specialties
commonly associated with general surgery such as orthopedic surgery,
urology and gynecology but not the specialties of the surgery of the eye,
ear, nose and throat.
The prize is open to all graduates of the Medical Department of the
University of Virginia of not more than fifteen years standing. For further
information, address the Dean of the Department of Medicine, University, Va.
