An experiment in education for medical and English Honours students was conducted during the 1983 academic year. Eight evening seminars were held, at which literary pieces were presented and discussed. All had relevance to medicine. No quantitative results could be deduced, but the voluntary attendance and enthusiasm remained high from beginning to end, and suggest that this is a programme worth developing.
