Its purpose is to be "a stimulating factor in interesting men in medicine and surgery and, particularly, to call at- tention to the accomplishments of Drs. W. J. and C. H. Mayo in these fields."

Dr. Walters, who is on leave from the surgical staff of the Mayo Clinic, is now a captain in the Naval Reserve, serving as Chief of Surgery and Executive Officer of the Naval Hospital, Corona, Calif.
