FISKE FUND FOR PRIZE DISSERTATIONS. The late Dr. Caleb Fiske, formerly President of the Rhode- Island Medical Society, with a munificence that does honor to his memory, bequeathed in his last will for the benefit of the Society, the sum of Two Thousand Dollars, directing the proceeds thereof to be applied to the payment of premiums for the Prize Disserta- tions, and for contingent expenses, as set forth in the following extract from his will: Item.—" I give and bequeath to the President and two Vice- Presidents of the Medical Society of the State of Rhode-Island, for the time being, and to their successors in office, the semi-an- nual dividends arising from forty shares of stock which I own in the Union Bank in Providence, the amount thereof two thousand dollars, in trust for the uses herein limited ; Use the first; nine- twelfths of said dividends shall constitute a fund to be applied in the manner following, to wit: The said Trustees or either two of them, shall select at every annual meeting of said Society, such subject or subjects for investigation as they may judge most con- ducive to the advancement of Medical Science, and give notice thereof in one of the newspapers published in Newport, and one publLhod in Providence, for the term of six weeks, offering such premium or premiums, as the annual product of said funds will justify, to be awarded and paid out by said trustees, for the best Treatise on the subject proposed by them for investigation, to be communicated to said trustees one month previous to the next An- nual Meeting of said Society. And in order that a laudable spirit of emulation°may be excited and maintained, the trustees shall not only suitably reward the authors of the fortunate productions, but also prescribe such rules for receiving the communications and de- ciding on the merits of the several performances as will shield the 16 unsuccessful competitor from obloquy or reproach. Use the second ; two-twelfths of the profits or dividends of said stock are to remunerate said trustees for their services, in the execution of the several trusts herein confided to them. " Use the third; one twelfth of the profits of said stock is to be appropriated to printing and supplying each member of said Society with a copy of such Treatise for which premiums have been awarded. It is believed however, that the copyright of the productions may be so disposed of by sail Trustees, as not only to furnish the members of said Society with copies gratis, but also to make some addition to the aforesaid Fund; and it is also be- lieved that said Trustees, in consideration of advantages which said Society may derive from a discreet management of said fund, will frequently, if not uniformly, render their services gratuitous- ly, whereby a further addition may be made to said fund. If these anticipations should be realized in part or in whole, what- ever sums remain unappropriated shall be added to said fund for the uses aforesaid. And my will further is, and I hereby ordaip, that the aforesaid forty shares of stock, the nominal amount where- of is two thousand dollars, shall remain registered in my name, in the books of said Bank, but the dividends or profits arising there- from, shall be subject from time to time to the order of said Trus- tees, for the uses above limited; but every order drawn on said Bank, shall express the uses to which the money is to be applied. Furthermore, the said Trustees shall cause their proceedings in the premises to be recorded in a book or books, from year to year, and deposited in the archives or cabinet of said Society for safe keeping, inserting therein the annual amount of said fund and the additions if any made thereto, the subject or subjects proposed for investigation, the amount of premiums offered, the names and place of abode of persons to whom premiums are awarded, with t such other facts and remarks relative to the application of said dividends as they may judge expedient, and the proceedings or such parts thereof as shall be audibly read before said Society at their annual meeting, and also be subject to the inspection of any member of said Society, and also be free for examination by my heirs at law; provided nevertheless, and I do hereby order, that if the said dividends or profits arising from the aforesaid stock, or any part thereof, should at any time hereafter be used for any other purposes than those before limited, or applied in any other manner than is above directed, or if said Trustees, or either two of them for the time being, shall neglect or refuse to execute the aforesaid trust in manner and form before specified, sickness, and other unavoidable accidents excepted, for the term of one year, then in either of these cases, this bequest shall thenceforth cease 17 and determine, and said stock and the dividends arising therefrom shall thenceforth descend to, and vest in, my heirs at law. Pro- vided also, and I do hereby ordain, that if at any time hereafter, said Medical Society shall discontinue its Anniversary Meetings, authorized by its Charter, or in case its members (fellows,) exclu- sive of honorary members, should decline in number and at any time hereafter be reduced to twenty, then, and in either of those cases, this bequest shall thenceforth cease and determine, and said stock and the dividends or profits arising therefrom shall descend to, and vest in, my heirs at law." The foregoing bequest having increased in amount, by interest and" otherwise, enables the Trustees to offer two premiums annual- ly, of One Hundred Dollars each, for the best essays on the ques* tions they propose. RULES OF DEBATE. 1. No Fellow shall speak in any debate, without rising and ad- dressing himself to the President. 2. No Fellow having spoken once in any debate, shall speak, to the prevention of another, who has not spoken, and manifests a desire to speak. 3. Every Fellow, as soon as he has done speaking, shall sit down. 4. No Fellow shall interrupt another while speaking, unless it shall be to call him to order, or correct a mistake, 5. No motion shall be considered, unless seconded. 6. No Fellow shall nominate more than one person for the same Committee, provided the first person nominated by him be chosen. 7. No vote shall be reconsidered at the same meeting by « smaller number than were present at its passing. 3 OFFICERS RHODE-ISLAND MEDICAL SOCIETY, For the year ending, June 10th, 1857, PRESIDENT, ISAAC RAY, M.
