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

as-'rt us? . R Kg .-1431 fsgf 5 Q-gif -srgq - 'is -' X W . -4 taxes v ft.: X: s....e George A. Ulrich EORGE A. VLRICH was born in Lebanon County, Pennsylvania, December 1-L, 1873. His early life was passed on a farm in his native county. He attended public and private schools in Annville, Pa., and at the completion of his school work taught for three years in Annville. H.e was graduated from Lebanon Valley College in 1897 receiving an A.B. degree. In 1899 he received a BS. degree f1'o1n the same institution. He entered Jef- ferson in 1901. Dr. 1'lrich is associated with the Jefferson and Polyclinic Hospitals as well as chief obstetrician to the North VVest General Hospital. At present Dr. Ulrich is associate Professor in the Jefferson Medical College and clinical assistant obstetrician to the Jefferson llaternity. Dr. Ulrich is the author of several papers on obstetrical subjects. He is a member of the County Medical and Philadelphia Obstetrical societies. Dr. Ulrich has been a faculty member of the school since his graduation. His years of service have earned for him an enviable position among his asso- ciates. Recognition of his achievements in his chosen specialty is widespread. His ability as an obstetrician is of the highest rankg his reputation as a teacher and a friend excites the admiration of all connected with the school. These statements are indeed confirmed when we learn that his services for the families of men of the medical profession are in constant demand. Dr. Ulrich in conjunction with Dr. Vaux gives the third year course in obstetrics. Dr. Ulrich never wavers in his firm purpose of imparting to the student a fundamental insight into normal and pathological obstetrics. His opinions are based on the solved problems of long experience and are master- fully elucidated in lecture. Perhaps the one attribute, more than any other, for which Dr. Ulrich has earned the esteem and admiration of all whom he has taught is the beneficial advice he gives to the students relative to the practice of obstetrics in particular and medicine in general. Nlany prac- titioners have been saved biy such advice from mistakes at the bedside and the discomfort of legal procedure. He inspires us with the thought that he who undertakes to handle obstetrical cases has a solemn duty to perform-he must primarily be of true and upright character and everlastingly exert his best efforts in order that the patient may derive the most benefit l',ll01'Qf1'OII'l. VVe Wish Dr. Ulrich to realize that we, the Seniors of Jefferson, are in full realization of what he has done for us. Wfe want him to know that any success we may have in the future 'is in good part the result of his teaching as well as the :inspiration of his personal example. Soon we will be dependent on our own knowledge in obstetrical and general medical practice-unguided then by solicitous teachers ever near at call. Problems of moment will present themselves. VVe may find great comfort then in knowing that our ultimate decisions revert to what we have acquired from the example as well as the didactic and clinical efforts set forth for us by the incomparable efficiency of Dr. Ulrich.
