Usefulness of Oak Spans Centuries
NEW BRUNSWICK, N J May 14 The centuries between two queens named Elizabeth and the miles between Britain and the United States will be spanned by a bridge of oak. Lumber from a giant English oak will panel the new council room of the Royal College of Surgeons in London. The tree links English medical science from infancy to greatness through almost 400 years. Planted in Elizabeth I’s reign the oak aided quarantines and free care for the poor. Good Queen Bess enjoyed the oak’s shade on visits to Lilford Park. On May 20 the Royal College of Surgeons will accept the paneling from Ethican Suture Laboratories Ltd British subsidiary of Johnson and Johnson. Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh are Honorary Fellows of the College.
