PROF. BOSTOCK HILL, who died on November 5, was educated at King Edward's School, Birmingham, and pursued his medical studies partly at Queen's College—at that time the Birmingham Medical School—and partly at Edinburgh, and he also obtained a medical degree at Giessen. The early part of his career was directed to chemistry and he became public analyst to the county of Warwick and afterwards, in 1879, professor of chemistry in Queen's College. Two years later he was appointed professor of hygiene in Mason College, and then in the University of Birmingham, when this was created in 1900. The whole of his life thereafter was spent in public health administrative work, and he held several appointments under various authorities.
