XXIII. Candidates for graduation shall produce evidence of their having conformed to the Regulations which were in force at the time they commenced their course of medical study, except in so far as is provided in Section XXVIII hereof.

Medical Graduates.

The following is the Declaration made by Graduates in Medicine and Surgery at the time of their Graduation :

"I, A. B., solemnly declare that as a graduate in Medicine of the University

of Aberdeen I will exercise my profession, to the best of my knowledge and ability, for the good of all persons whose health may be placed in my care, and for the public weal; that I will hold in due regard the honourable traditions and obligations of the Medical Profession, and will do nothing inconsistent therewith; and that I will be loyal to the University and endeavour to promote its welfare and maintain its reputation ".

The following resolution regarding the sale of Drugs, etc., by Medical Graduates was unanimously adopted by the Medical Faculty on 8th June, 1900, and approved by the Senatus on 22nd July, 1901 :

"Whilst it is admitted that the exigencies of practice in certain localities may sometimes render it unavoidable for a Medical practitioner to supply to his patients the remedies which he prescribes, -the Medical Faculty of this University is of opinion that it is undesirable and detrimental to the position of Medical Graduates of the University that this custom should be followed under other circumstances; and further, it regards the sale of objects other than remedies by its Medical Graduates as, under all circumstances, to be strongly deprecated."
