| Biographical/Administrative Information: | A Harris is recorded as having graduated MB.Ch.B of the Victoria University [in 1891] In the Calendar of University College, Liverpool, Session 1887-88, : p 161, under the heading "The School Medals and Certificates of Honour", it is stated "Thus Students of the second year are examined in Advanced Anatomy and Physiology, and those of the first year in Elementary Anatomy and Physiology, and in Chemistry. In each group a Gold Medal, a Bronze Medal and Certificate of Honour are given." This would account for the award of a Harvey medal, yet the fact that it is silver does not comply with the above description. Mr. A. Harris is recorded as having graduated M.B.Ch.B. of the Victoria University [in 1891] |
