Birmingham
1892
Birmingham Daily Post, 11
April 1892: Birmingham
men occupied a position of considerable eminence at the last second examination
of the Examining Board of the Royal Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons. The
two subjects in which the board examined were physiology and anatomy; and no
less than ten Queen’s College candidates passed in both subjects, and two
anatomy.... the two candidates who were successful in anatomy were Messrs J W
Farndale and E G Coop. I believe that no other provincial medical school
obtained the same number of successes in the double examination, that is for
physiology and anatomy combined.

MAYORAL RECEPTION. The hospitality of the mayor of Birmingham was extended last
evening in the second-half of his worship's chosen guests. The company was not
less brilliant than that of Wednesday night, and within the council house the
scene was as bright and delightful as could be desired. In a sorting his guests
under slightly different conditions to those that have prevailed of last year's
Alderman Johnson certainly made more comfortable the lot of the ladies and
gentlemen who accepted the invitations to be present at the reception and take
part in the ball and entertainment subsequently.... attendees... Mr J Farndale,
