Andrews and Mr H. Stewart. Also embossed on front cover with “Wesley College Melbourne” and motto “Sapere aude”. Includes two newspaper cuttings (in French) enclosed between pages 448 and 449. One is a report on the 1936 Davis Cup noting Australia’s win in the doubles match. The other is called ‘Le medecin et ses malades’ and tells the story of a young doctor whose business increased when he began advertising that he specialised in rare diseases (‘maladies rares’) rather than commonplace ear, nose and throat complaints.
