VAUX, son of Jacob 1Valn Vaux and Emily Norris Pepper Vaux, was born at Rosemont, Pa., September 1, 1881. His prelim- inary education was acquired at the Delancey School after which he entered the University of Pennsylvania in 1900. The pre-medical and medical courses at this institution consumed a period of five years. Dr. Vaux interned at the Pennsylvania Hospital from 1905 to 1907. After a year of study in Europe, chiefly in obstetrics at the Rotunda Hospital, Ireland, under Ernest Hastings Tweedy, he began general practice at Chestnut Hill and continued in this pursuit from 1908 to 1917. Dr. Vaux was an instructor in obstetrics at Jefferson under Dr. E. P. Davis and at this time gave a course in operative obstetrics. In 1919 he became a member of the staff of the Philadelphia Lying-In Hospital and was obstetrician to the Chestnut Hill Hospital and chief obstetrician to the Bryn Rlawr Hospital from 1921 to 1926. Military activities consist of eleven years of service with the Philadelphia City Troop as honorary surgeon, service with Base Hospital Unit No. 10 and British General Hospital No. 16 from lliay, 1917, until April, 1919. He was dis- charged with the rank of llajor, completing twenty-three months of oversea service. In 1925 Dr. Vaux was appointed Clinical Professor of Obstetrics at Jefferson. He is editor of Edgar's Obstetrics and has published papers on Eclampsia, Post Partum Hemorrhage, Ante-Natal Care and Pyelitis. One hears of Dr. Vaux at Jefferson long before the third year course in obstetrics affords closer acqualintance with him. His friendliness to the students, augmented by his superior teaching ability, insures his popularity among those of us who occupy the benches. Dr. Vaux has exerted tireless effort to teach a system of obstetrics that is practical and sufficient in all aspects. His lectures are not formidable didactic affairs that burden the already over-burdened student. On t.he con- trary, they consist of well organized, practical facts relative to the subject at hand, interspersed with illustrations, as well as an occasional quiz that misses not a man and which has proven efficacious in facilitating the retention and clarification of obstetrical facts. The course given by Dr. Vaux is the obstetrical foundation upon which we future practitioners depend for the technique and treatment of maternity practice. His task is indeed of tre- mendous consequence, but we feel confident that those who ha.ve preceded us will sustain our opinion, that no other man could more effectively and capably have performed his duty than has Dr. Vaux. Dr. Vaux is a student with the students. His pleasing personality and ready humor have endeared him to us. A more pleasurable opportunity could not present itself than this, of apprising Dr. Vaux that his efforts in ou1' direction have not gone unappreciated and that there is imbued in our hearts an everlasting esteem for him. 4 4 C6 7 5 .-2' .. 5 FO 2555 ., 1 f Q E Z e ren 1, ff
