 GEO. W. CAMPBELL, A.M., M.D., LL.D. 
 
 It is with no ordinary feelings of sorrow and deep regret 
 that we find ourselves called upon to record the death of 
 our oldest surgeon. Prof. Geo. W. Campbell. On the 30th 
 March last Dr. Campbell attended the annual convocation 
 of McGill University, and took leave of his friends and col- 
 leagues, as he was leaving for England the following day. 
 No one who saw him that day, no whit less cheerful and 
 active than usual, for one moment dreamt that this city 
 would so soon be shocked by the telegraphic news of 
 his death in a far-off countrv. But so it was. For some 
 years past Dr. Campbell suffered from bronchitis, and was 
 obliged to retire from active practice and give himself more 
 rest. He had also suffered from slight attacks of pneumonia. 
 When in London, pneumonia again set in, but being some- 
 what better, he went to Edinburgh, where, however, more 
 serious symptoms showed themselves, and he expired on 
 the 30th May. 
 
 In losing Dr. Campbell, an immense loss has been sus- 
 tained by the whole of this community. The Faculty of 
 Medicine loses its Dean — its tried and trusty general, who 
 has directed its operations with a master hand for many 
 years. The Hospital loses its senior consulting surgeon — 
 him whose opinion always carried the weight c 1 experience 
 and mature judgment. Our greatest financial "nstitutions 
 lose one who has been found worthy to fill posts of the 
 highest trust and confidence. The general public lose one 
 to whom they could always go for sympathy in distress and 
 relief in extremity. His friends — and their name, indeed, 
 is legion — lose a warm-hearted, true and generous friend. 
 His professional brethren in this district lose their chief — 
 that chief who, from his personal and professional worth, 
 retained for so many years the loyalty and devotion of all. 
 
One, indeed, has gone from amongst us, of whom it has 
 been a common remark that, " take him for all in all, 
 we shall not look upon his like again." This feel- 
 ing has been produced by the rare combination of good 
 and attractive qualities which found themselves so happily 
 associated together in our estimable Dean. As a profes- 
 sional man — and he was that before all things — in how 
 many ways was he an example to us all, — able, skillful, de- 
 voted, untiring towards his patients — courteous, generous 
 and invariably considerate towards his confreres — ener- 
 getic, zealous and enthusiastic in all touching the progress 
 of the medical art and science — always upholding, by word 
 and deed, the dignity of that profession to which he was 
 proud to belong — kind and encouraging to every brother 
 honestly practising his profession in a straight path, but 
 an uncompromising foe to every kind of professional dis- 
 honesty or hyprocrisy. No wonder that there gradually 
 grew up for such a man a feeling of rare warmth and 
 affection, a feeling which we know to be shared by all 
 Avithin our ranks. No matter how else divided, on this 
 point there was unanimity, viz., that in Dr. Campbell we 
 recognized a noble example, whom to imitate was to do 
 right. 
 
 With Dr. Campbell has passed away one of those links, 
 now so few, which joined the present generation of 
 medical practitioners to a past one. Possessed of the 
 best technical education which was afiforded at that day. 
 Dr. Campbell came to this new country to make his own 
 way in the world. How well this was accomplished, and 
 what W! 11-merited success he met with, is known to all. 
 Whilst thus pursuing his way to name and fame, no selfish 
 aims were ever allowed to obstruct his exertions in the 
 common cause. Endowed with great strength of character, 
 combined with an excellent judgment in all the ordinary 
 concerns of life, he always interested himself in every 
 
 , 
 
I "^'T 
 
 scheme tending to the promotion of the general good. 
 Firm and fixed in his endeavors to attain an object once 
 definitely settled upon as being desirable, his great influence 
 ■was naturally always sought for and highly prized. 
 
 Not only was Dr. Campbell deservedly looked up to as 
 the leading surgeon of the city, but he was held in the 
 warmest estimation as a citizen. His voice and influence 
 were always to be counted upon to assist in any good 
 work, and many an undertaking to-day in flourishing con- 
 dition, and on a firm basis, owes the success of its early 
 efforts to the assistance then lent it by this public-spirited 
 man. The greatest of our public charities, the Montreal 
 General Hospital, always claimed and received a large 
 share of his fostering care. In every matter connected 
 with the medical management of this large Institution, the 
 advice of Dr. Campbell was looked for, and time and 
 attention to its interests were given ungrudgingly and 
 without stint. It is not for us to speak of the many 
 marks of the esteem in which he was held amongst our 
 merchants and laymen — the many posts he has held, of 
 themselves, speak for this. He was for many years 
 Director, and lately Vice-President of the Bank of Mont- 
 real, and also Director in the City Gas Company, the 
 Montreal Telegraph Company, and many others. He 
 will long be remembered amongst his fellow-citizens as a 
 clear-headed and judicious business-man, possessing quali- 
 ties ia this respect sufficiently uncommon amongst medical 
 men. 
 
 For nearly half a century Dr. Campbell's name has 
 been identified with the Medical Faculty of McGill Uni- 
 versity, and it is largely due to his ability as a teacher of 
 surgery that that school attained the high degree of popu- 
 larity which it has so long enjoyed. As its Dean, he 
 always possessed the fullest confidence of his colleagues, 
 and, under his able management, its policy was always 
 
6 
 
 dignified and liberal, whilst internal dissension?^ were en- 
 tirely unknown. 
 
 Dr. Campbell did not write much for the medical jour- 
 nals. " Deeds, not words," was his motto. But his work 
 as a successful teacher, and as a member of the Corpora- 
 tion of the University, led to the appropriate bestowal of 
 the lionorary degree of LL D. His style of lecturing was 
 free from all oratorical effort, but it was clear, forcible and 
 impressive. Hundreds of practitioners throughout this 
 continent and elsewhere owe tlio foundations of their sur- 
 gical knowledge to Dr. CampbeH's early teaching. 
 
 As the acknowledged head of tlie profession in Mont- 
 real, he was often called upon to entertain strangers and 
 professional visitors, and most worthily did he perform this 
 duty. His house always held for such, a warm welcome, 
 and we know that the news of his death will bring sorrow 
 to many who have there received a true warm-hearted 
 Scotch reception. He was an excellent host ; his pleasant, 
 cheery manner, his sparkling reminiscences, his stores of 
 learning always bright, his animated conversation, made 
 an evening spent in his company always something to be 
 remembered. He took great pleasure in seeing his friends 
 around him, and all know well the kindly and generous 
 hospitality which for years has been dispensed from his 
 house by himself and his talented family. 
 
 Dr. G. W. Campbell was born in Roseneath, Dumbarton- 
 shire, Scotland, in the year 1810. He entered early upon 
 his medical studies, Avhich he pursued in the Universities 
 of Glasgow and Dublin. After graduating with distinc- 
 tion, he came to Canada in May, 1833, and settled in 
 Montreal. His marked ability soon placed him in the front 
 rank amongst his compeers, and gave him a large share 
 of city practice. The success following him naturally 
 led to his being very frequently called in consulta- 
 tion by his confreres ; and for a great many years be- 
 
 
fore bis deatli very tew eases of any importance were 
 treated in this city witliout the advice of Dr. Campbell 
 having been obtained. His sound knowledge of pathology, 
 and naturally clear insight into the varying shades of distinc- 
 tion between clinical conditions apt to resemble each other, 
 made him an expert in diagnosis. Surgery was always 
 his forte, and his great reputation was chiefly made by 
 many successful achievements in operative work. In 1835 
 Dr. Campbell was appointed to the Chair of Surgery in 
 McGill University, which position he continued to hold 
 with credit to himself and great advantage to the school 
 until 1875 — exactly 40 years — when, owing to failing 
 health, he resigned. He was made Dean of the Faculty 
 in 1860, taking then the place of the late Dr. Holmes. 
 The duties of this office he fulfilled even after his resigna- 
 tion of the Chair of Surgery, and it was only in March last 
 that Prof. Howard was appointed Acting Dean in order to 
 relieve him of some necessary work and supply his place 
 during temporary absences. 
 
 The example of such a man as Dr. Campbell cannot fail 
 to be productive of great good. An accomplished physi- 
 cian and skillful surgeon, an upright, honorable citizen, 
 a kind and considerate friend to the poor, a loved and 
 honored counsellor of the rich, zealous in business but 
 scrupulously honorable, a firm protector of the dignity of 
 his profession, and, above all, a thoroughly consistent 
 Christian gentleman.
