Calif Med. 1967 Nov;107(5):413-9.
The following address was given by Dr. Cecil J. Watson at the Wm. J. Kerr Gold Headed Cane Lecture, University of California School of Medicine, on 9 June 1967. At this event on the eve of Commencement Day, the senior student who has been chosen by his classmates and by his professors in the Department of Medicine as the one who best exemplifies the qualities of a true physician is awarded a gold-headed cane.* This carries on the British tradition of a similar cane that was passed from physician to physician from 1689 to 1825. The original cane, which was carried successively by Doctors John Radcliffe, Richard Mead, Anthony Askew, David Pitcairn and Matthew Baillie, now rests in the Hall of the Royal College of Physicians in London.
以下是塞西尔·J·沃森博士于1967年6月9日在加利福尼亚大学医学院威廉·J·克尔金头手杖讲座上的致辞。在毕业典礼前夕的这个活动中，被同班同学以及医学系教授们选为最能体现真正医生品质的高年级学生，会被授予一根金头手杖。* 这延续了英国的一项类似传统，从1689年到1825年，这样的手杖在医生之间代代相传。原来的那根手杖先后由约翰·拉德克利夫医生、理查德·米德医生、安东尼·阿斯克医生、大卫·皮特凯恩医生和马修·贝利医生持有，如今保存在伦敦皇家内科医学院的展厅里。
