DR DORIS GORDON
’ Sir,-The late Dr Doris Gordon will be well known to your readers through her notable services as Director of Maternal and Child Welfare, and by her spirited autobiography Back-Blocks Baby-Doctor. As she did so much to improve the standard of obstetrics in this country by founding Chairs of Obstetrics in Dunedin and Auckland, the New Zealand Obstetrical and Gynaecological Society, together with the National Council of Women, has decided to raise funds for a memorial to this remarkable woman, to take ‘the form of a scholarship or lectureship in Obstetrics. The campaign was opened in Hamilton on July 29 by Dame Hilda Ross, and has the commendation of the Hon. J. R. Hanan, Minister\ of Health: Nobody has done more for the welfare of the mothers of this country than the late Dr Doris Gordon, and all who are interested in maintaining the high standard she helped to establish are earnestly invited to contribute to this fund. Contributions may be made payable to the "Doris Gordon Memorial Fund," P.O. Box 5003. Wellington.

FOATE,
Secretary, N.Z. Obstetrical and Gynaecological Society.
