Abstract
To many generations of men who received their medical training at St. Thomas's, the news of the passing of Frederick Gymer Parsons in his eightieth year must come with a sense of personal loss. For Parsons had a personality that could never be forgotten, and into every picture of the Medical School of St. Thomas's there must come, in the memories of hundreds of medical men, a kidney-shaped table and, standing in its concavity, a powerfully-built man with an enormous red moustache. The students sitting round the convexity of the table knew him as a teacher ; but many knew him as more than that, for there was no form of student activity he did not foster, no work for student enterprises or welfare he ever found too arduous or ever left undone.
