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.
