Law Rev. (I.) Act, 1879.] [and that every fellow of the said college who shall hereafter accept any of the said professorships, or the said office of librarian, shall, by such acceptance, immediately vacate his fellowship in the said college of physicians; provided always, that every such person may be re-elected a fellow of the said college whenever he shall cease to be a professor; and provided also, that it shall and may be lawful to and for the president and fellows of the said college to elect any such professor, whilst he shall continue to hold his professorship, an honorary fellow of the said college, but no such honorary fellow shall be allowed to attend any meeting of the said college, or vote therein, unless when specially summoned by the president, or in his absence by the vice-president of the said college of physicians, to consult or vote only on matters which concern the regulating of the practice of medicine in this city or kingdom, and then votes shall be received in such cases, and none other.]
