The Society will now endeavor to support a<br />
single John Jones Research Fellow, who will have<br />
committed to two research years and competed<br />
successfully based on the merits <strong>of</strong> his or her<br />
project, having a supporting letter from a committed<br />
mentor willing to support a second year<br />
<strong>of</strong> research, and evidence <strong>of</strong> personal scholastic<br />
achievement and exceptional performance in the<br />
early residency years. The competitive process and<br />
the requirement to convince a mentor, in effect, to<br />
supply matching funds should make the John Jones<br />
Fellowship sufficiently distinctive to merit a line in<br />
every recipient’s curriculum vitae. It should also be<br />
distinguished by <strong>of</strong>fering flexibility as to where, and<br />
with whom, the work is to be done. After all, John<br />
Jones, himself, left Kings College for Philadelphia<br />
and returned to New York to consult on George<br />
Washington’s thigh absc ess. The Society will<br />
