A talk on "The Body Snatchers" was given by Dr Stuart Macdonald, followed by a sandwich lunch. * * * The Lillian Lindsay Memorial Lecture on Saturday 21st May 2005, at the British Dental Association Annual Conference in Glasgow, will be given at 11.30 am in the Boisdale 1 Room by Professor David McGowan. The title is "The Glasgow Heritage" and the subject is the Glasgow contribution to dental science and to the study of the history of dentistry. * * * The Lindsay Medal awarded to the late Dr Henry Noble will be presented to Mrs Audrey Noble by Dr Geoffrey Garnett, Chairman of the Lindsay Society, at a ceremony immediately before the Lindsay Memorial Lecture. * * * The Lindsay Society's Fairley collection of dental instruments is now housed in the archives section of the Library of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow. It may be viewed on request to the College Archivist Carol Parry (email carol.parry@rcpsg.ac.uk). Rufus Ross describes the collection and Anne Hargreaves provides a biographical note on John Fairley. * * * A colourful description of her experiences as a young clerkess in the Glasgow Dental Hospital of the 30s is provided by Mrs Janet Finlayson. Could any of the dental students in the photograph be among our readers? * * * A love of Italy and its music kindled in the flames of war is just one facet of a noted Glasgow Oral Surgeon's life recalled in the reminiscences of Hugh Campbell. * * * John Houston, who died in 2003, gave a life of service to orthodontics in the West of Scotland, as Stuart Taylor describes in his memoir.
