Emeritus Professor of Surgery, Medical College of Virginia ; Member of the Board of Visitors, Medical College of Virginia. URY me with a low mass, Dr. Johnston said to Bishop O ' Connell. He could have selected the mass of wonder- ful pomp and ceremony by which the famous, the poten- tates and those of royal lineage are buried; but he chose the funeral rites used for those who serve rather than those who rule, and said, Bury me with a low mass. The spirit of service without pretentiousness was the keynote of his life. A man of powerful personality, he was always glad to give more than he received and to build for others rather than for himself. Born in the town of Tazewell, in beautiful south-western Virginia, of a family distinguished for pioneers, statesmen and physicians, he gained, during the years of his youth, strength and virility among those mountain scenes and people, and throughout the remainder of his life he ever turned to them with fidelity and affection. He was an earnest man, but at the same time genial; a forceful, though a kindly man; a busy man, always deliberate; an humble man, yet self-assertive for a cause. Although he never sought personal prefer- ment be became president of nearly every organization to which he be- longed, and honor upon honor was heaped upon him, but he did not use these for self-aggrandizement. Many things marked him among men: his magnetism, his striking appearance, his courtly manners, his interesting conversation, his success as a surgeon; but by two things especially will he live in the minds of those who knew him — the readiness and pleasure with which he helped the younger members of his profession, and his services to the Medical College of Virginia. Possessing a vision almost prophetic, with advice, encouragement and assistance, he guided many a medical career through college, through hospital and special training, to the fruition of a large and useful practice. His time, his labor, his resourcefulness and his influence was ever at the disposal of those who wished them. There was never a man more loyal, nor a heart more responsive, and he did not count the cost of doing, nor ask a price for sacrifice. Coming to Richmond in 1876, he began his brilliant professional career by accepting a minor position at the Medical College of Virginia. It was not long before he became the leading spirit of the College, and over smooth waters and through the stormy seas he guided its course. -In 1913 the amalgamation with the University College of Medicine was effected largely through his efforts. It is a thing of pride for the students and alumni to feel that the present Medical College of Virginia stands as a memorial of the devo- tion to medical education of the South ' s two greatest medical leaders, Hunter Holmes McGuire, founder of the University College of Medi- cine, and George Ben Johnston, sponsor for the Medical College of Virginia. It is, therefore, most appropriate and altogether fitting that the College Annual for 1917 should be dedicated to Dr. George Ben Johnston, who departed this life on December 20th, 1916. In doing him honor we honor ourselves — and we pay tribute where tribute is due, for while he was amongst us he went about doing good. BEVERLEY R. TUCKER. I9I7 (g ' .:: ?

I9I7 (5?.: THE-: RAy i9 l n Medical College of Virginia University College of Medicine I9I7 = i THE- H RAY m V)VI The School in the Past. |T a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Hampden-Sidney Col- lege, December i, 1837, a resolution was offered to the Board to establish a medical department in the city of Richmond. Following are some of the regulations adopted for the management of this department: . . . . shall for the present consist of six professors, viz., a pro- fessor of Anatomy and Physiology, of Theory and Practice of Medicine, of Surgery, of Therapeutics and Materia Medica, of Obstetrics and Diseases of Women and Children, of Chemistry and Pharmacy The lectures .... commence on the first Monday of November of each year and continue until the last week of March ensuing . . . . The president and trustees of Hampden-Sidney College shall confer upon the candidates (so recommended) a diploma with the title of Doctor of Medi- cine with the seal of the college attached. The matriculates for i838- ' 39 were 46 in number — 39 from Virginia and 7 from other States. Quoting from Mordecai ' s History of Richmond, . . . . The Union Hotel .... was converted into a medical school and hospital. Limbs, instead of cutting capers were cut in pieces in the ball-room ; potions were mixed instead of punches ; poultices supplanted pudding, and Seidlitz water, champagne. February 25, 1854, a charter of the Medical College of Virginia was passed by the General Assembly of Virginia, and on March 27, 1854, Dr. Tucker was elected dean of the faculty. In i859- ' 6o, by reason of the bitter sectional feeling. Southern students in the school at Philadelphia, under the leadership of Dr. Hunter McGuire, left, and many of them matriculated in the college here. On March i, i860, an act was passed appropriating $30,000 to the Medical College of Virginia, and the faculty wisely gave up the property to the State. During the war the Medical College of Virginia was the only medical school in the South that did not close its doors, and by holding two sessions each year was able to supply to the army the necessary staff of surgeons. I9I7 ( THg ErRAy jg) 191F Since that period a number of earnest workers gave their best years and efforts to the upbuilding of the college, and to keep it abreast ith the rapid advance in modern work and scientific teaching. In i897- ' g8 a division of the college was made into three departments — Aledi- cine, Dentistrj ' , and Pharmacy. The University College of Medicine was founded in 1893 by a number of Richmond physcians, under the leadership of Dr. Hunter McGuire, and grew rapidly, attaining a high position among medical colleges. On January 6, 19 10, the main college building was completely destroyed by fire, but the loyalty and determina- tion displayed by the faculty, trustees and students won the sympathy and admiration of the citizens of Richmond, who contributed more than $100,000 for a new building. A new building with every facility for the most advanced methods in medical education was formally opened May 22, 1912. Everything had been provided for the convenience of the student and for thoroughness and efficiency in teaching. The new Medical College of Virginia continues the work of the University College of Medicine and the Medical College of Virginia, which effected a con- solidation in 191 3. And thus we might well be proud of our Alma ] Iater, with its long roll of dis- tinguished teachers and alumni, challenging comparison with other centres of medical instruction, and recognized throughout the length and breadth of our land in priinis. 12 I9I7 (g ' .i TH -RAir iQ) 191 13 1917 gi ' THE- ERAY ' re Z 1917 14 TO7 (g THg feRAYt 191 ' I9I7 Qi THE-: RAy i9 I9I7 Board of Visitors.

S Seniors looking back over our field of labor and realizing that we now must begin again as Freshmen in the great world of facts, that our days of thoughtless school life lie behind us as memories instead of vivid realities, we do now contemplate with great pleasure the friends we have gained. We hold them in a more precious light, realizing that only the depth of our friendship will weather the storms of life and still keep fresh that spark of companionship as it exists today. Glancing for a moment to the year 1913, on September i6th — you might have seen us — one hundred strong — entering as the first class in the newly amalgamated schools, under the able leadership of our presi- dent, Dr. S. C. Mitchell. Our paths were not all strewn with roses; for in digesting anatomy; surviving the class rush, in which the Sophomores attempted to extermi- nate the Freshmen; in correcting slight mistakes of our erring classmates, such as asking for Mrs. Elk at the Elks ' Home for room and board, our time was pretty well taken up. We were fortunate in having as class officers that year I. M. Derr, as President; W. G. Suiter, Vice-President; J. H. Royster, Secretary and Treasurer; C. W. Colonna, Sergeant at Arms; and J. M. Harwood, Historian. As a Sophomore Class we reappeared with great resolutions as to the amount of work we expected to put through that year, and incidently we did not experience that disagreeable sensation of loneliness that we had the year before, for now we had friends to welcome us on every turn. 33 19I7 (g .: ? MTH AY 9 I9I7 We were unfortunate this year in losing our president, but fortu- nate indeed in having a man so ably fitted to take his place. Many new and good men were added to our class when the North Carolina Medical College sent its members to continue their studies at our school. The boys were made to feel at home at once, and we were soon apparently all one school. A close class election netted us the following men as officers : J. H. Royster, President; J. C. Taylor, Vice-President; H. C. Wolfe, Secre- tary and Treasurer; H. L. Large, Historian. Junior year commenced as usual with each man telling his experi- ences, changing them each time according to the claims of the man he was talking to, in an endeavor to make his the more interesting. This was the year of excitement both in athletics and things judicial. One of our members, having spent the year abroad, introduced that fascinating little game known as shootin pennies at a crack, and it instantly popularized. Jurisprudence was given a splendid practical demonstration when Justice Crutchfield invited the class to his emporium in a little matter of Church Hill queens, a few drops of water and some words wisely spoken but at an inopportune time. We were also given our first experience in the Dispensary, where practical knowledge began to reach the theory-saturated brains of the few in class who had that rather important appendage. Basket ball was introduced, but owing to the extensive following of the foreign game of Crack-a-Loo, no one was found to take the places on the team. The athletes doubtless considering the pitching of a jit into a crack a more delicate and exacting science than hurling a ball into a basket, naturally chose the former. Our class was well represented in the following class officials: C. 34 I9I7 .i THg- RAy re i9 191 W. Colonna, President; E. R. Ferguson, Vice-President; D. S. Divers, Secretary and ' Treasurer ; J. M. Harwood, Historian. Coming at last to our fourth and final year as students, we en- tered this year with the responsibility of our profession clearer than ever before us. We now can begin to appreciate the unselfish devotion to the propagation of scientific medicine which is so well exemplified by our splendid group of instructors. To these men, who devoted their time and efforts for our benefit, we wish to express our feelings of gratitude and appreciation. This history would not be complete either, without a word of thanks for the untiring efforts, brotherly companionship and co-opera- tion in all things relating to various school activities of our friend, Mr. J. R. McCauley. Looking back it is worthy of note, that of the hundred men en- tering this class, only fifty-nine of that number remain; sickness and financial discouragement being largely responsible for the loss of so many. Again it is indeed significant that only one or two chose some other school, while half of our number at present are recruits from other colleges. After a close class election this fall, the following men were elected : B. S. Brake, President ; W. A. Morgan, Vice-President ; F. G. Woodruff, Secretary and Treasurer; H. C. Wolfe, Poet; W. R. Sherrick, Historian. It having been three years since we were students in anatomy, a number of our progressive fellow students realized the necessity of further research in this subject and so organized a class in oestology. Large and interesting clmics were held daily. The place of meeting being only de- pendent on a member having the clinical material on his person, and the nerve to voice the courage of his own convictions that he knew a seven from an eleven, and could reproduce same at an opportune time. On account of the apparent proximity to war, the United States 35 1917 (g ' .i THE - RAy i 191? Government sent Col. Le Garde of the Medical Military Corps to lecture to the class on military surgery and camp hygiene. Much valuable in- formation was obtained from these lectures — valuable to the doctor in civil practice, as well as one in the army and naval service. We also had the pleasure of witnessing the inauguration of the school Y. M. C. A., under the direction of a full time secretary, Mr. Phil. B. Trigg. Great work has been done, and great work will be done by this magnificent organization. With the distinction of being the first graduating class of the new Medical College of Virginia, and the honor of having the name of being the best behaved class, we start out on the paths of the fortunately hidden future with the best wishes, one for the other, in all things moral, mental, physical, professional and financial, and the fervent desire for the con- tinued development of our beloved Alma Mater.

The Senior Class one day in playful mood decided that it must have a Class Poem, and, despite violent protestations : the part of the present poet, they finally thrust the assignment upon him. The ahove was submitted in response to the Cla appeal,— Editor ' s Note 76 I9I7 (?.: THg RAYi ±g) 191 Classification of Senior Meds. EALIZING, as we do, that man is prone to think himself something when he is nothing, and desiring to settle once for all the momentous and ever-present question as to Who was Who in the Senior class, we settled upon the simple but expedient plan of holding a voting contest. The results are quite illuminating as well as interesting. In the first place, that of Biggest politician, Derr outran his old rivals. Wolfe and Gilchriest, and easily copped the honor. The next place, that of Song Bird, Larkin, BuUard, Jones, Andes and Lilly — the same bunch that has made life miserable for four years — ran in the above order, the votes being almost as close as their harmony. Heart Smashers came in for next consideration, and there was another pretty race, but Holding soon took a commanding lead and won out. Mor- gan had the whole field to himself when it came to chewing tobacco. The next position. Biggest Bull Artist, however, furnished a lot of excitement. Collins, Sherrick, Carter and Cofiindaffer had a race that will long be remembered, but Carter ' s wind and speed finally told, and he had a safe margin at the end. Horton and Rogers had it out for the job as Biggest Knocker, but after the smoke cleared away it was seen that Rogers received the decision. The next ballot revealed an- other champion in E. B. Thompson, that of Eating Peanuts. Coffindaffer and Large again claim recognition, this time to find out which had the biggest head. After careful measurement, Coffindaffer emerged victorious by I meter 6 cm. The next two ballots injected a little comedy into the proceed- ings. Hockett tied Large for first place as Fattest Man, and ran Snead a close race for the honor of Thinnest man. His efforts were almost as exciting as the combat between Tootsie Summers and Clarice Brooks. Our feeble pen feels its inability to do full justice to this scrap, but suffice it to say that after a hatpin duel, a verbal clash, and finally a hair-pulling contest when talcum and hair filled the otherwise blue air, that Clarice at last emerged triumphant. Lilly got the inside track on the next vote and beat out Hood and Anderson for the place of Best Jitney Driver. The next vote showed that the diagnostic abilities of the class were in good working order, as it gave to Shetter the honor of being the most Typical Married Man. Practically every North Carolinian voted for himself as being the most Typical Tarheel, and so there were a lot of contestants ; the rest of the class suggestd Gouge, 77 I9I7 Qi TH] RAlr i9 I9I7 Benthall, Carter and Horton for the coveted honor, but couldn ' t decide definitely which should have the place. The next decision was easy, and required for its set- tlement just a little feat of memory. It concerned a date, Nov. i, ' i6, that was still vivid in our minds, and all seemed to remember Tommy Suiters ' excessive grief. It was decided that he was the saddest man in the bunch when Virginia went dry. The next vote carries us back to the osteology clinic at Memorial, and we see Monk Long and Sam Crook rolling ' em out to see which was the luckiest. As usual. Monk won out. Claud Colonna outran Charlie Hatcher for the position of most popular student, and Sherrick received his hard-won honor as Biggest Cigarette Bummer, in spite of the efforts of Wolfe and McClees. Stokes was never in any danger in his campaign for the honor of being named the Most Flowery Orator, while Mc- Gowen had the whole floor to himself, ith none to say him nay, when it came to making the most noise. The pathological department was next represented, and the honor of having the best developed case of osteoma of the neck was won by Collins, this lucky young mian beating out Parker, Rogers and Oppenhimer by one vote. It is claimed that a thing of beauty is a joy forever. If this is so, then most of the Seniors must be happy men. The reason for this statement is that practically every man voted for himself as being the best-looking. Fortunately, there were a few who could appreciate beauty in others, and they decided that Colonna and Par- ker, Sale and Shapiro, Holding and Summers should shoot high dice for the coveted honor. Gouge, ably seconded by Vorbrink, receives the call as being the Best Diag- nostician, and Coffindaffer appearing again on the scene, ends this strange, eventful history by reaping the reward of faithful service — the recognition of his prowess in gathering in the Dills. 78 I9I7 (3?.: TH gRAY ? i9 I9I7 =s a 1917 gjr THE RAY I9I7 Junior Class History. T would be presumptions for us to place the class of 1918 above the others enrolled on the College Register, but ask any one who is in a position to know and see what the answer will be. Since all the pro- fessors tell us that our class is the best in school, how can we prevent ourselves from thinking so. With our return last Fall the following officers were elected to represent the Junior Class for the session 1916- ' ! 7: H. R. Phinney, president; J. D. Clements, vice-president; C. L. Wood, secretary and treasurer; A. B. Siewers, rep- resentative to the Honor Council, and G. B. Dudley, Jr., historian. The present Junior Class invaded Richmond and began encamping around M. C. V. in the fall of 19 14, numbering at that time thirty strong. Since then we have lost twelve of the original thirty via dropping out of school, going to other colleges, or falling back where the pace was not quite so fast. At present we num- ber about thirty-five, due in part to the influx from other medical schools, but chiefly to the fact that certain ambitious individuals wished to tarry another year or two in college and wanted it said that they were graduated with the best class that ever represented the Medical College of Virginia. With Billy Simpson as president and John Schultz as vice-president of our Athletic Association, our class has done its part towards the Mexican athletics of our school, and it is not intended that this athletic spirit shall die down, for it lias done much towards the upbuilding and maintenance of college spirit at M. C. V. Upon whose initiative was our college weekly. Skull and Bones, born into the world, as it were? A member of the class of 19 18. The class of 1918 likewise played a prominent part in making possible and main- taining a college Y. M. C. A. at M. C. V., as well as the organization of The Hunter McGuire Society. In fact, almost everything that has been started at I I. C. V. in the last three years was, in a large measure, due to certain ambitious members of the class of 191 8. So why should we not feel proud of our class and strive to accomplish even greater things during our senior year, and also after we depart from our Alma Mater? G. B.

I cannot suppress a slow, sad sigh of regret, and connot help feeling a peculiar gripping of the heart at the thought that the M. C. V. is soon to close its doors at the end of another term. Has the year gone by so quickly ? Does time fly so fast ? As I sit and thus reflect I see in fancy the symbolical Father Time standing be- j. Heymafi ' ij fore me. He is bent and old, but his movements are as swift and precise as those of an athlete at his zenith of world-wide fame. The Old Man comes closer to me, and I can hardly meet the tantalizing gleam in his deeply sunk ferret eyes. He notices this; he smiles; and his pallid, fur- rowed face lights up with diabolic glee. I shrink back in alarm, and that faint, cynical smile — at first almost lost in his flowing smoky-white beard — becomes broader, ever broader, until his thin, bloodless lips part, and he cackles with triumph. I shiver with fright, yet I am fascinated. His mirth ends, and he speaks in a low, guttural voice that chills me. Friend, friend, he rasps, pointing an admonishing, slender yet wiry finger at me. Tell your classmates of my uncanny cunning. Tell them that no one can fool me, but that I can cheat the virtuous and pious, or the most industrious, as well as the most unscrupulous. Tell them that the sons of the M. C. V. are not beyond my power, that I will get my full quota from them as I do from the rest of the world. Tell them that I am already fooling many of the M. C. V. ' s sons into ac- cepting the belief that swift seconds have the length of hours, running minutes the length of days. Ha, ha, ha! My dear friend, I know full well that many of the M. C. V. ' s sons will in later years bitterly complain of hard luck or misspent youth — will rant against early follies and shattered ambitions, and when they do, it will give me a peculiarly satisfying pleasure to add another line of sorrow or of age on their cheeks.

VERY class has its individualities, and we are not without ours. Oui class is the smallest in the annals of the Medical College of Virginia. Though numbering only about fifteen, we have made up in quality what we lacked in numbers. ' That Sophomore Class, meaning so much now, it is with regret that we surrender to the inevitable name of Junior of next year. Yet it is with much pleasure, too. that we advance, for we realize we cannot be on the stand-still, and our place is open for us in the broader realms of medicine. But it is the present with which we are con- cerned, so we will begin by telling you that we began our career as sophomores in September, 191 6. Since that memorable date work has been our middle name, and only those who have gone before us can fully appreciate the trials and tribulations, along with the hard knocks of the dear old sophomore year. God bless her! During the session several of our number have dropped from the ranks and gone out into the world for better things. However, their places have been filled by competent men aspiring for the noble M. D. degree. The outlook for next year is very promising. We have an up-to-date president, who is pushing things in a 1919 manner, so that our work will be the best afforded any medical student of any college. The sophomore class has one characteristic which determines its place and dis- tinguishes it from all other classes or departments. And when we leave this year be- hind us forever, even the janitors will hold a public soiree and drink in glee, while poor old Joe will drape his lonesome peanut roaster in crepe and weepingly say, You have served your day. Bull, alias Dill Lewis, says he buys peanuts for the whole class, but we seriously doubt it. However, when it comes to cracking ' em, he ' s undoubtedly the champion with Mike Master (ing) close second, and with Witchley Skipping along for third place. For the sake of completeness, we might mention the rest of the team, for Nixon and Technique Decker certainly deserve honorable mention, while even the writer holds down the side lines. O. U. Saunders and Icky Turner have gained world-wide renown as efficient trainers. But we have not spent our time idly as would seem, for we have visited Moon, and from the summit watched the capillaries (B)ud(d). Then, with open Gates, I9I7 (i?.! TH S RAY i9 I9I7 we have descended into the fiery dungeons at the foot of the hill and (H)ask (h)ell ahoiit old Howell. It ' s a long story and will not bear repeating, so take our word for it — it ' s over. But we still spend our afternoons among the rest of the cats and dogs, feeding them ether and counting the fleas as they hop from hair to hair. It ' s inter- esting, but we hope we can soon say it ' s gone forever. Then we have our classical work in science, spending one hour trying to locate the angle of Louis or the spine of the Scapula. It ' s under the benignant gaze of one Weinstein that this classical piece of research is made, and it is with much regret we realize that our efforts in this splendid work are nearing an end. Among our presiding officers we have assigned Mike official dog-catcher, for he has bought himself a Ford from the proceeds of his endeavors, and has given his rights as chaf eur to Technique Decker. Holland and O. U. Saunders have been appointed heart-smashers, while Fulton says Nixon the marriage game. We wonder if it ' s true. Last, but not least, our co-ed., whose very presence alters our speech and action and saves the day. She never speaks unless spoken to, but she has been unanimously elected queen of the whole band. In closing we hope to say good-bye to our sophomore year forever, and enter college next session full-fledged juniors. We hope to do credit to our college and to learn the truths of science as they are expounded to us from day to day. So good- bye. Sophomore ; welcome Junior. F. W.

SUALLY we mean by the word joke a witty remark or a humorous situation, in which some individual precipitates himself. Jokes amuse us ; we laugh and feel better. But listen : there is a joke — a continuous joke — in the sophomore class — Henry Walker Decker. His bow-legs, his prancing movements, his proclivity to pull his hair and assume the facies of intense agony when he is being quizzed, the innocent bluffing line of bull that he hands out under his condition amuse us all. But his latest feat (not feet, for Dennis Caldwell states that Henry has never worn a pair of socks -with toes in them) is to read his quiz paper to the professor. You see, no one yet has been able to read his writing, so they have to take for granted that he knows it. When reading his pharmacology quiz paper, Dr. Haskell says, Take off five for that, Mr. Decker . Wait, Doctor. You see, I mean by what I have just read that it might be interpreted in two ways, and I much prefer your way . Very well; take off one . This continues during the reading, and the erudite Decker announces that he leads the class in pharmacology. Poor Peyton Lewis, Farley ' s Pharmacy, registered pharmacist, did not sleep for three nights on hearing the announcement. But behold our joke. Decker, in clinical patholog) ' . All technique! We should say so! After consulting Dennis Caldwell he can predict the exact results, even if he breaks all his beakers and test tubes. However, he has recently associated him- self with Dr. Pitt, at Westhampton, and plans on going to China to practice. Well, China is intensely overpopulated, so the country may be relieved of this condition if Henry Walker Decker goes. Running Decker a far second, we come across Peyton S. Lewis, who boasts of having attended not less than twenty schools, and that he made the highest mark on Wisconsin State Board of Pharmacy, leading the class for three honors, biggest bull artist, makes the most noise, and is the biggest nuisance. However, Peyton is a good man, for he stays in the 90 class even though he works forty hours per week in a drug store and keeps track of the location of all the fires in the city. Dennis Caldwell, with his loaded dice, gains the distinction of being the luck- iest bone roller, and with the net proceeds thereof leads as the biggest peanut-eater. 93 7917 ( : mTiW AT m7 Masters is the politician, Sammy Nixson the best-lookinji Beau Brummel, poor Fax Fulton was the saddest man when the State went dry (he and Bob Courtney lachrymating for a month). Holland bums more cigarettes than Russo, vvliile Miss Walsh waddles as the sweetest co-ed. Sanders, with the fourteen pound U. O. Sanders, Jr., is the most typical married man. Skip Witchley, not failing to mention that he has been path- ologist for the Eastern State Hospital for four years, was voted the best laboratory diagnostician, and for various reasons was given the credit for being the most popu- lar man in the class. 94 ' mi g: g THE-: RAY Wsgi9 I9I7 f]RE$HMATf-M]ei)lOAl I9I7 THB rRAy g 1917 Freshman Medical Class History. 1 HE advent of the Freshmen Medical Class to M. C. V. last September marks a date that will not soon be forgotten by those connected with the college, and assuredly not by its members. With one pur- pose in our coming, determination written on our faces and with an assumed responsibility for the future health and welfare of the country on our shoulders, we began our careers. Our mission was to alleviate suffering and pain and drive these black spectres from the world. We were all going to be Mayos and Osiers ; to restore life to those who were crossing over the river was to be a simple feat for us. The marvels of surgery were to be conquered by this unusual class, and greater miarvels were to be added as our gifts to humanity. O, we were thoroughly imbued with self-consciousness. Caesar-like, we came, we saw — but here the simile stops ; we did not conquer. Before many daj ' s had elapsed we realized that between us and our ultimate goal were obstacles that would make the digging of the Panama canal appear microscopic on compar- ison. Anatomy, one of the chiefest of these great wars of ours, was begun, and others, also were undertaken, and all were underestimated. But finally, after de- feats and slaughters from the ruthless hands of outwardly kindhearted men, we found our pace and our record was made. Not what we hoped for, but at that better than the best that had preceded us. There were several contributory causes for our good record, and also several causes for said record not being better than it was. The omnipresent and ever- prowling Peyton Lewis handicapped us with his continual hot air stream, com- parable only with Tennj ' son ' s Babbling Brook . But to offset this unfortunate evil to which we were subjected, we were fortunate in having Demon Rum re- moved from our path by one James Cannon, father of Ben, one of our members who was awarded the honor as being the saddest mian when the State went dry . Curtis, as chief noise-maker and biggest nutt , was another disturbing factor, as was Edmonds, our biggest peanut eater , ' cause peanuts and work are not mix- able. Ownby, the worst case of bighead on record, and Green, the biggest little dill pickle in cultivation, only go to show that embryo doctors are recruited from all ranks and possess all characteristics. Colonna, our most popular student ; Wingfield, the most flowery orator , and Lyerly, the most handsome man , 97 I9I7 (i?: nTHE-:: RAY i9 i n prove that on our roll there are those that are more or less entitled to be called human beings. Then, too. Bell, the undeniable missing link in Darwin ' s theory of the evolution of the race, gave the girls in Richmond a continual treat, and in consequence received the inevitable reward as greatest heart smasher . But all these faults and frivolities of ours were not natural — some were ac- quired. Association with the freshmen dentists in anatomy naturally had a tendency to take us back to childhood and prep school days, because those children were so puerile and playful that quite naturally we lost some of our seriousness of purpose. But at that, they were positively refreshing except at rare intervals, when their be- havior was disgusting and sickening, even to Chris and Peyton. Nevertheless, with the trials we have borne and classes we have agonized through listening to unprepared lectures, our year has been pleasant and its memories will be a heritage we shall enjoy. Before us lies work, and pleasure in our work. Be- hind us lies the first milepost rounded by every member of a class that set a standard for succeeding freshmen to aspire to. So to our dissecting halls and stiffs we say goodbye, with little regret, but for our professors, who have had patience unlimited, we have only grateful hearts and most sincere good wishes.

AD Tennyson been a student at the Medical College of Virginia his little pome would doubtless have read something like this: In the fall the student ' s fancy always turns to politics. Of course, he might have added something to the effect that this fancy wasn ' t con- fined to any one season, and that it was liable to appear at any time the opportunity arose, but as he didn ' t have the privilege of being educated here, we feel a hesitancy in putting more words into his mouth. It ' s really strange that none of M. C. V. ' s poets has seen in this subject a chance for escape of those poetical expressions which they are so prone to gush forth with at the slightest provocation. Far simpler themes have caused them to smite the blooming lyre in the past, and yet such a subject as Politics at M. C. V., pregnant with possibilities as it is, is entirely overlooked by the poets and left to the uninspired pen of an extremely prosaic scribbler. Possibly the whole reason is to be found in a study of perspective — when a thing is too close to the eye it cannot be recognized; in other words, if one of our poets could get out of politics for even a short while, this grand subject would get its proper treatment at least. This if , though, is an extremely large one, and a general survey of our sweet singers of lyric verse yields a gloomy prognosis. Let us not appear to bear down too hard on the poets, though. They are not much worse than the average run of medicoes (a generic name including the whole gang), nor are their actions as noteworthy as are those of some other students. Politics is really an endemic disease, nearly every one is affected, only some- have a lower resistence than others, and the disease runs a more virulent course. Virulent is the proper word here and far better than acute, for many of the virulent cases have been going strongly for three and four years. In some cases it appears to be an incurable malady, for despite severe treatment administered at each election time, an acute excerbation is sure to occur at the next opportunity. Whether the men enter here with the germs in their systems, or whether they acquire them on matric- ulation, is a mooted question in some cases. Certain it is, though, that the early symptoms come on in an extremely short time in many instances. O. Henry once, in speaking of farmers, made the statement, Once a farmer, always a come-on. Had he been acquainted with M. C. V., he would almost cer- 103 I9I7 (3?: g THE RAy i9 191 tainly have said, Once a medico, always a politician. Politics is different from most diseases in that there seems to be little or no resistance generated in the body after an attack. It might quite easily be compared with a well-known disease, which once acquired and left untreated for a while, becomes almost ineradicable. The student politician has his primary and secondarj ' manifestations while in school, and then enters upon the tertiaries when alumni days come on. As we all know the tertiary stage is the worst of them all, for the disease has reached a place where little can be done for it. Unfortunately, or fortunately, as you care to look at it, the writer has only reached the secondaries of politics, and necessarily can ' t speak from experience of the tertiary stage. Observation has re- vealed the fact, though, that there are new and marvelous experiences in the offing. Already he has seen in his brief acquaintanceship with the alumni students of former days, many of whom were heavily infected with B. Politici, some of the steps in the pathological syndrome that await him. The Faction, a marvelous thing which every young doc must align himself with in order to scare the wolf from the door. When he has once joined a faction the symptoms become quite specific. He toots the horn for his buddies and sends them anything he himself can ' t handle or doesn ' t want. He gives you to understand that the other factions are composed of a bunch of poli- ticians and advertising specialists, and that there is only one bunch doing real medical work and that, strange to say, is his own. The Big Reputation and the Big Practice are later tertiary manifestations, and are of rather rare occurrence. Doubtless one must be heavily infected to reach these symptoms. Certainly all the evidence and clinical data at hand would seem to imply that this assumption was correct. The Medical Academy and the Medical Society are two more manifestations of the ter- tiary stage, but seem to be more in the nature of sequels than active symptoms. But, let us not stray too far afield. There is danger of treading on some one ' s corns, and as we said above, we speak only from observation and not from experience, and would not voluntarily rush in where angels fear to tread, nor would we un- wittingly trespass on posted ground. When we get back to the secondaries, i. e., the student day manifestations, we are in a position to speak from experience. One of the first symptoms that engage our attention is Dill Picking. On first blush, one would doubt whether Dill Picking were really a political manifestation, but when we come to examine it, and especially when we consider it in the light of the Freudian theory that submerged instincts and desires tend to come to the surface in altered forms, there is little doubt left. Looking on it in this way, we can easily understand such acts as waiting until the name is called twice and finally passed, and then bawling out in loudest voice, Dr. So and So is here. We begin to see the etiology of the mad rush to the front 104 I9I7 (?: TH -RAy ±9 I9I7 row where, by char.ce, a stray question might be addressed to one, or better still, one might be called into the pit to aid in putting on a cast or to listen to a murmur. In the same light we begin to see the reason for laughing at the professors ' jokes — going out of the way to say, Good-morning! cranking the professors ' jitney, asking unnecessary questions to the annoyance of the rest, and so forth, and so on, dill picking without end. Yes, the reason is quite plain now — it ' s the real spirit and essence of politics — politics of the good old style, where self-abasement was un- known, where every one advertised himself, tooted his own horn and pushed No. i to the limit. Yes, gentle reader, the spirit is there, even though the acts themselves have been much modified and altered. You might say, glossed over, in order that they may get by without unduly offending our social customs and malleable con- sciences. Fortunately, though, politics doesn ' t limit its manifestations to the single act of Dill Picking. Rather it appears in its true form several times a year. As we scratch our head in an endeavor to picture a real political scene to serve as a climax, we hit upon something — Huh? — No, not anything like that — but simply the idea of a typical fall scene at M. C. V. There are a few men who are as sure to run as a babbling brook or the Oleum Tiglii habitue, and the only question in our minds when we roll in here in September is what it shall be this time. The new aspirants are al- most as easy to recognize, though, as the chronics. Who can mistake the symptom when a man, formerly of good habits, is seen shaking hands with old and new alike. 105 I9I7 (S THg - RAyt P i I9I7 with equal fervor, expressing to all his great pleasure at meeting them or seeing them again? Or, if we should happen to notice several of his f raters hanging about feeding a lot of Freshies on hot air relative to the recently self-appointed great man, and occasionally dragging said bunch of Freshies over to meet the famous citizen, isn ' t our diagnosis sure? Yes, dear friend, there can be no mistake as to our con- clusions; our only remaining conjecture now is, what office it is that has stimulated his ambitions. The revelation soon comes, and is the occasion for the only full student body meeting of the year. Let us view our candidate again and examine his methods. The good old handshaking continues until the aspiring citizen has become as well known to the proletariat as Lydia E. Pinkham ' s vegetable compound, and only ceases when he gets blisters on his fist and hydrops of the wrist and elbow. In the meantime there is a great activity and bustle about college; something is in the air; we feel it; we get excited, but fail to appreciate its mighty import until a rough hand grabs our lapel and we are pulled aside. We soon become conscious that the confab is get- ting serious from the hoarse voice and ingratiating attitude. Have you heard who is running for president? The feeler is introduced, and we mention the name of several students in response. Outside of a few taps, little heed is paid to the answer. However, the entering wedge is in and we get a full line of information on the political activities of those damned D — s, Eata Bita Pies, and other gangs. We learn in detail of the dirty politics they are pulling, how they are bootlicking the dentists, and pharmacists, how they got the Al Fal Fas lined up, and so forth, and so on, until the long-expected statement comes that if we don ' t hang together those d — d roughnecks will run it over us. We are included in their list of sup- porters are flattered by being their allies in the great cause — one of our men was supported by them last time, so we learn from our fellow Greek, and then the sugges- tion comes that we see the Tapa Kegs and put them right and do what we can to push their favorite son into the hall of fame. We agree heartily to the worthy cause and promise to do what we can — anything to end the interview and give us a chance to breathe and mop our sweating brow. As this inflammation of the student body becomes more and more acute each day, it isn ' t long before something must happen. A student body meeting is called for, and there is a mighty response ; in fact, it is the only real meeting of the student body of the session; every one is present. There is a tenseness about the atmos- phere, an indefinable sensation sets one ' s nerves on edge, a feeling as of a moment ' s calm before the storm breaks. Then the crash. A silver-tongued orator rises from the multitude and begins a eulogistic dialogue that takes the breath away; Solomon in all his glory, nor Alexander the Great could hold a candle to the wonderful man 1 06 I9I7 3? THg RAY ? iG) I9I7 under discussion. Our admiration and awe grow apace; we wonder if a stranger is in our midst, or if it mightn ' t be possible that a flower has blushed unseen among us. Our doubt is quicklj ' dispelled, though, when we learn who it is, and when we get our composure again we feel as though we can enjoy the rest of the program without undue nervous strain. The first orator ' s spiel having utilized most of the flowery adjectives of the English language, we are forced to listen to his stuff made over — hashed, stewed and souped to picture the qualities of other great men whose glory seems in the ascendancy. As each orator endeavors to paint his nominee in brighter colors than the preceding nominee enjoyed, so each speech becomes more incongruous, more ludicrous and more enjoyable. Both the fortunate man and the assembled multi- tude are highly pleased, but obviously from different reasons. When the orators are through a date is set for the election, and the future exponents of the art of healing file out with determination written on their faces. Every one has his work arranged for the last few precious hours. The freshmen, must be lined up and made to appreciate their right of suffrage as well, incidentally, the qualities of the nominee. Alliances must be investigated to see that nothing goes amiss. Pompous gentlemen must be stationed near the polls to steer in the new men and tip them off as to the proper man for the job, and so it goes. For- tunately, the day of reckoning is near and the inflammatory process is about ripe for evacuation. The great day comes. There is great excitement in the air. Little knots of students gather to discuss the political situation, the candidates for office vote for themselves early, and then go back to their handshaking. All is bustle and con- fusion. The hours drag on, and finally night falls just in time to relieve the tension before which human endurance must break. The final count is the incision that terminates the attack and makes convalescence possible. Politics for the time being is relieved, and the school settles down to the humdrum affairs of life, not to be- come excited again until some other caustis politici appears, when this exacerbation, so typical of the secondaries of politics, Aill be enacted again to the last of its har- rowing details. 107 I9I7 (g THg RAYP P i 191 CITY HALL AND NEW CAPITOL FROM CUSTOM HOUSE, RICHMOND, VA.

I9I7 TH K-RAY W I9I7 Dentistry at the Medical College of Virginia. HILE Dentistry at the Medical College of ' Virginia is essentially the same as that of other good schools, let us consider the distinguishing points and note the changes that have taken place here in the past few years. In the past dentistry at this school has not received the same con- sideration and just regard as have the other departments. The reas- ons lor this are rather obvious. The bulk of the faculty are physicians, and physi- cians, except in the past few years, did not consider mouth infections as an impor- tant causative factor in systemic diseases. To-day the reverse conditions exist. Den- tists are now considered indispensable in the diagnosis of disease conditions which in themselves are not evident to the physician in charge. Thus, one of the potent reasons for our present position. As a material evidence of the changes that have taken place which place us in our present enviable position, let us review some of the past and note the conditions as exist in the present. Before the year of 191 5 the School of Dentistry was existing as a B class school. It had no full time dental men on the faculty, lectures being given by practitioners living throughout the city. The dental department was not self-sustaining. A minimum amount of practical work in the infirmary, with an attendance of eighty per cent., was all that was required. No texts were taught except those required by the State boards, passing the State boards apparently being the chief end in view. Of course, no one in particular can be blamed for any of the above conditions. But a system existed at that time over which the dental faculty had no control. Beginning with the session of 1915 a new era in dentistry began in the Medical College of Virginia. Three full time men were engaged, and one more was added in igi6. These men were selected to look after the interest and uplift of dentistry at this school. And well have they done it ; in fact, exceeded our fondest hopes. This school is now classed as an Ai school by the American Association of Dental Faculties. It is now self-sustaining and requires an attendance of ninety-five per 11. I9I7 (g ' j THE- RAy jg) I9I7 cent, in the infirmary, all work being done upon a sj ' stematic basis under competent instructors. The course has been enlarged, not only to take in all subjects required by the State boards, but includes subjects which to-day are recognized as essentials in the practice of scientific dentistry — dentistry which not only includes the mouth, but its associate parts. Beginning with the fall of 1917 the dental course will cover four years. For the last three years the number of matriculants in the dental school have exceeded those of medicine. This condition not only exists here, but practically in all the medico- dental schools throughout the country. So, evidently dentistry is not only coming into its own at this school, but other schools as well. In spite of the great advances dentistry has made at this school in the last few years, it is still a small school in comparison with most other schools. This, at first thought, would seem to work to the disadvantage of the student. But such is not the case, for instead of being a disadvantage, is an advantage. Under such a con- dition the student receives the benefit almost of individual training, a training that is necessary if one is to excel in dental art and medicine. In judging the future we must consider the past. So in judging dentistry by the advances and accomplisluuents in the past, we can only say that if advances take place in the future in the same ratio as they have in the past, the banner of the dental profession will be carried far beyond those of any other profession existing to-day.

Freshmen N the 15th day of September, forty-one ambitious young men matriculated at the Medical College of Virginia for the purpose of studying Dentistry. This was the largest freshman dental class in the history of the institution. We had several tasks to perform ; the first being to fa- miliarize ourselv es with the college building and how to get from our rooms to college, and last, but not least, how to go up Broad street without being the center of attraction. The last was most difficult, for most of us were from the tall timbers of Virginia and North Carolina. After our course was arranged we attended classes regularly, and when we had be- come acquainted with our classmates, things began to brighten up. Some declared dentistry to be a cinch. Dr. Jeffries met us on Prosthetic Dentistry one morning and called each of us Doc, which pleased us very much. After calling the roll he said: I want each of you to take a plaster impression of your upper jaw. We started to work enthusiasti- cally, but it proved no easy job, for we worked on it several periods and I believe there are some who haven ' t gotten it yet. We went away with sore mouths and loose teeth, looking like laborers in a flour mill. Officers of the class were elected. As time passed, our work became harder. Nearly everyone failed on Mr. Rudd ' s first chemistry quiz, and Dr. Christian announced he was ready for practicals. AH these troubles made some drop out. The Christmas holidays came at last, and were over before we hardly knew it. After the short vacation we began work to get our speci- 119 I9I7 (g ' r THg RAY ' jg) 191 men work off, and were studying for quizzes, which kept us busy — and exams were at hand. The spring weather was warm and work was unpleasant, but work before pleasure being our theme, we plugged on ' till our task was over, and, after wishing everyone a pleasant vacation, we journeyed to our re- spective homes. Juniors The session of 1915-16 found our number diminished to thirty-three as a result of the final examinations of the preceding year. We returned to begin another year ' s work, not as freshmen, but as full-fledged juniors. After attending the usual week of preliminaries, we began work with renewed energy. Early in the year the politicians of the class became busy and the officers of the class were elected. The prosthetic laboratory took much of our time and if you, kind reader, have never made a swaged metal plate, life must seem sweet. Bacteriology, Chemistry, Surgery, Physiology and other hard sub- jects were upon us, but the attractions in the Infirmary made us forget them for a while. How we would be charmed to escort some young lady to our chair, but the pleasure was all over when we would attempt to put on the rubber dam, or tie a ligature around a third molar. During all this time we were visitors at Dr. Simpson ' s lectures on Operative Dentistry and would listen with attentive ears and open mouths to that same old stuff you hear wherever you go every day. We sometimes strayed into Dr. Blackwell ' s lectures on crown and bridgework. Here we were taught to check facings, burn up backings, and crack investment. On physiology, Dr. Gray gave us daily lectures. Here we found an hour of graceful sleep, now and then hearing the word amylopsin. I9I7 (g THg- -RAy i I9I7 Dr. Henson made us acquainted with such terms as lodophilia and Leucocytosis. After the Christmas vacation we got busy on our specimen work, which occupied our time till spring approached. Our thoughts turned to final examinations and summer vacation, and it was the pleasure of most of us to pass the former successfully, and the pleasure of all of us to enjoy the latter thoroughly, and the hope of all of us to return to M. C. V. as seniors the following session. Seniors Summer vacation rapidly drew to a close and we journeyed once more to M. C. V. Our class now numbering twenty-four, having diminished ten for various reasons. Everyone seemed happy and ready for a busy session. After the first week of matriculating, etc., we were once more confronted with a crowded curriculum. Besides our daily infirmary work, we had fourteen theoretical tickets. One strange characteristic was apparent in all of us. It was the dignity peculiar to the senior. Although we had fourteen theoretical tickets, most of our work was confined to infirmary and practical work. Officers of the class were elected without much display of politics. The much talked of November ist, 1916, came and the old State lost its spirits on that day. That agent which so often made us forget our troubles and worries was taken away, and we had to be satisfied with the near stuff. No more could you see the boys winding their way to Spark ' s Cafe or to the hole in the wall. The Christmas vacation followed. I9I7 ( ■: THE -RAyP P ±9 I9I7 The second half session began in early part of February, and two more classes were put on our already crowded ticket. The class of 1917 continued her success in undergraduate life. We desire to say here that we most heartily thank all our Profes- sors and Demonstrators who have been ever willing to lend a helping hand in time of need. Their zealous efforts in preparing us for Modern Dentistry have endeared them to us for all time. We shall always re- member them. Every day has its ending, and so hav ' e our college days, and they have surely come to an end. It is hard to say good-bye to our classmates, many of whom we shall never see again. We shall never forget them, however, and as we sit alone, our thoughts will wander back to the good old days at M. C. V. Historian. George Thompson Baskervii.i.e, Jr. champe, va.

S. degree is safely passed and how gladly do we now look back over the past when, though considered freshmen, we had to bone harder than the seniors! It was on September 21, 1915, when a group of twenty-nine men gathered and met for the first time within the massive walls of the old college building. There it was where the last step of our educational career had its origin. The class had representatives from Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. We soon lost three of our members, and with only twenty-six on roll were ready for hard work, which did not fail to come with Dr. Christian ' s osteology. How gloomy did the Anatomy Hall appear, and talk about the odor! Every- one ' s nose was raised almost high enough to reveal the posterior nares. Little mat- ter this, however; we came here to work, and did it, too. When we began to carry the skull under our arms wrapped up in paper we felt that when we completed its study we would be masters of anatomy. But soon Dr. Christian changed our ideas, when he made us hunt and fish for arteries and nerves. Even besides this it was no easy task to crawl up four flights of steps alone in darkness, and there probably be surprised by old Chris, who, with his I ain ' t much; how are you? was just leaving his anatomical specimens. Then, when finally you reached the third floor with several bruises on your lower extremities and heart beating 150 times a minute, another ghastly sight opened before you. As soon as you opened the door of the dissecting hall a wave of air filled with perfume passed by you, whispering of the hours gone by, when Chris was pulling the stiffs out of the bath tubs. Next you saw a number of tables, the occupants of which were covered with white cloth. A small glimmering light in the corner threw its feeble rays upon the whole scene, add- ing gloom to the ghastly picture. When finally you turned the electric light on you observed stiffs on tables, stiffs in bath tubs, stiffs behind bath tubs, and stiffs everywhere you turned your head. And this is the place where at nights we used to pull off our coats, put on the gowns and begin— rolling bones, p itching pennies, and singing. But now let us look at the bright side of our freshman year! How much hap- pier did we feel when we left the Anatomy Hall to go and meet our fate under Mr. 133 I9I7 : ? m TH - IRAY I9I7 Rudd. Hard as he was, he knew that he was teaching a class of intelligent young men and safely led us chapter by chapter, each of which was the most important in the book, through the realms of the molecular world into the mysteries of chemistry. The microscopical world was revealed to us by Dr. Lipscomb, under whose faithful guidance we were able to tell at the end of the year a muscle fiber from a neuron. How anxious were we to be able to go to the Infirmary and look into the faces— not mouths — of pretty girls, but this privilege was not granted us. We only had to look at juniors and seniors, who had that pleasure, and be sorry that we were not in their places. In this way the winter soon passed, and when spring began to bring forth its beauties our heads were filled with gloom, for the crisis of our freshman year was at hand. The examinations came and went, and but few of our members found the going too hard. The following September we again gathered, though we felt like coming home this time, and no fright appeared on any face. The Mexican war, however, robbed us of several of our members, and our number was decreased to twenty-two. Wasn ' t it grand now to be able to go to the Infirmary and look into the mouths — not faces — of pretty girls and be able to say what we thought ought to be done! Of course, sorrows sometimes come, especially when a filling comes ou t and has to be put back without receiving any credit for it. But now we feel like real dentists, though some things we do are still in the embryonic stage of dental activi- ties, but just keep your eye on us and you ' ll be surprised how rapidly our class is coming to the fore. Though we are the hardest-worked class of all the M. C. V. ' s classes, we don ' t grumble, for we realize that the faculty wants to turn out in 1918 a class of dentists that will be best in the history of M. C. V.

N September, 20, 191 6, the jMedlcal College of Virginia opened with 500 strong, the Freshman Dental Class constituting 52 of this num- ber, this being the largest number of freshman dental students that has been enrolled in the history of old M.C.V. Seven States are rep- resented in this number. They are Virginia, West Virginia. North ___==, Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, New York, and Massachusetts. We are earnestly struggling and fighting to accomplish our only purpose. Under the skillful leadership of Dr. Christian, Dr. Boland, and Chris Baker we acquire many fundamental points of anatomy. Not one of us will ever forget the mental picture left us of the Anatomy Hall, especially at night. A feeling of loneliness seems to seize one as he enters the big front door of the old college building and climbs the winding stairway to the third story. As we approach he dissecting liall peculiar odors fill our nostrils, and when the door is opened strange-looking figures are seen piled in the corners of the room. On the tables are seen a number of stiffs grinning at you with their big, pearly teeth, and loukina at you with their ghostly eyes in a tone which seems to say, O death ; thou hast sent thy sting, but, O, grave, thou hast been robbed of thy victory by the students of M. C. V. It is here that we scratched and dug for blood vessels, muscles, different body orcrans, and nerves. Many pleasant hours are spent here telling jokes, rolling bones, and singing especially until Dr. Christian gave a special announcement that we were not to conwrt this school of medicine into a singing school. A mental picture is easily drawn of Dr. Christian as he sits back in his big leather chair with his two-ton capacity pipe occupying one side of his mouth, and using the other side in telling someone to put something in its anatomical position and describe it. We acquired our knowledge of chemistry under the leadership of Mr. Rudd. I am sure not one of us will ever forget the little bald-head man who, at the begin- ning of each chapter, repeated the same old story: Gentlemen, this is the most im- portant chapter in the book. One doesn ' t have to wipe his eyes and scratch his head very long to draw a mental picture of Dr. Lipscomb, as he enters the door of the histology laboratory and 139 I9I7 (??.: THg- RAy 1915 opens his little roll book, and calls the roll in such a low voice that the students are compelled to be very quiet to hear their names called. Immediately after the roll call he says in a louder tone, Gentlemen, we have two slides to prepare this morn- ing. Make a low and high-power drawing of each. As a word of parting, let me add that we feel very proud of our class, and we are going to struggle to keep it one of the best classes of the Medical College of Virginia.

BAND of seventy strong enrolled in the Pharmacy de- partment at the Medical College of Virginia in 1915. To-day, thirty-one of those matriculates look forward to graduation and to the pursuance of their chosen work. The class of ' 17 is remarkable, not that they have achieved marked success, nor have they exhibited particular obtuseness, but that they represent to the man a group of men that the Pharmacy department may feel proud of. We cannot designate in the class the student, the loafer, the best man, nor the crook, but we can designate the class as being above the average. Even as we pen these lines, there arises a mental picture — memories of class days. A tender sentiment steal s over us, enrapturing our imagi- nation. The patient and even-tempered Pomeranz presents himself; we can see the bellicose Bristow, the droll Mr. Patterson and other stu- dents of sin generis individuality, who stand out crystal clear and sharply defined against the background of our happy college days. Our memories ' picture will include Shadwell, the fat and jovial Hudson, the sparkling Shine, Bunny Miller, and the alert Peery. The volatile Leasia and Charlie Chaplin Moreland will always add color to the picture; Byrd will lend dignity and old friend Chiles the neces- sary humor. Such are memories ' pictures.

HE Senior Pharmacy Class being composed of such distinguished men, men of such marked talents that one cannot help but see them— de- cided to hold an election to grant official recognition for these said talents. The following men were given high honors after due con- sideration and deliberation : Bill Allen was favored by our art connoisseurs as being the greatest ornament of Broad street. Sam White — say, girls, doesn ' t that name make j ' ou excited? — was elected the champion chicken killer. Charlie Patterson jumps into the ring on the next ballot and pulls down the honor of being the most tj ' pical city dude, w hile Howard (in love) is awarded the title of smallest eater. As we go down the list we bump into Super Six Hudson, and as he is the fattest man, it ' s quite a bump. Hup Childs hates himself, though we don ' t see why, as we like him a lot, and saw fit to elect him the most popular man. The cats think Pete Miller is the biggest nuisance, as he is the champion cat catcher. but we can ' t agree with the felines and have to award the title to Pomeranz. Charlie Chaplan Aloreland. who always maintained that a good foundation was necessary for success, was given the credit for having the biggest feet. Bristow, whose thirst for knowledge is well known to us all, was awarded the distinction of being the biggest question mark, while Spies, whose inquisitiveness runs in a little dif- ferent channel, was selected as the greatest cigarette bummer in the class. Shorty Wightman — we wonder where he has been up to now. that we haven ' t heard from him before — bounces ofi the cushion and rolls out as the pool shark of the gang, while Nance, not up to city ways just yet, is classified as the most typical hay-seed. In ending up this mark of respect for our noted men, we can ' t forget Greever. Up to now we haven ' t found a place for him, but at last it is here. Temptation triumphs. The tree is shaken. The forbidden fruit is tasted and, lo! we see this young man busy at his old trade which gave him the distinguished title of biggest dill picker. i6i 1917 ( j THE - RAYP i l Senior Pharmacy Snap Shots TOF TH feRAyt i 1917 Junior Pharmacy Class History.

G., having but a bare idea then of the significance of the same, but at the same time knowing that Philosophy, Physiology, Pharmacy and Phoolology all began with Ph. and the G. signifying to them that great, grave and graduate were companions of the same alphabetical category. From the total, differ- ent evolutions at once took place — some began an upward climb toward great pholoso- phy, some toward the physiology of the grave, some toward graduates of pharmacy and some toward great, grave, graduate Phoolology. The chief things learned were the location of Murphy ' s, the St. Elmo, the situa- tion of the Times-Dispatch score board during the world series, and the fact that after November ist, in Virginia, tinctures would be rigidly scrutinized.

TH K Sr ±9 1917 Junior Pharmacy Class Election. LTHOUGH having been told by our professors from time to time what they thought of us, we wanted to ascertain the views of our class-mates, so in a recent election the results of our opinions mate- rialized thusly: Our noble president, Preas, was given the honor as the greatest ornament of Broad street. Hodgin, being the only boy in the family, has always been a great bone-picker, so he deserves the credit of being the champion chicken killer. Then comes the Highland Park bunch: Wilson is the smallest eater; Cross hates himself worst, and Jarrett is the biggest dill picker in class. Walker was unanimously chosen the fattest man, and Brugh well deserves the honor of having the biggest feet. Next came two places and only two candidates for them, but after careful consideration we decided that Sam Moses Weinstein was the biggest nuisance and Jacobs the biggest question mark. Wilcoxson was chosen the greatest pool shark and Monroe the biggest cigarette bummer. Notwith- standing the fact that Morrissette is fond of the Virginia hospital, he is also the champion cat catcher. Balais is the most popular student in the class, and Henley is undoubtedly the most typical city dude. Not thinking that our roll would be complete without lanning ' s name, we gave him the office of most typical hay-seed. i66 I9I7 (3?j ?

Cryan, IN A One- Act Playlet, Entitled : As It Happens all the Time. A Play IVithout a Plot. Moral or Motive. Ably Supported by a Superb Cast, Consisting of the Entire Class, Including the Crap Shooters on the Outside. Scene — Amphitheatre Virginia Hospital. Time — Any Monday Morning, Nine Until Eleven O ' clock. The dill pickers row assembles a little before nine o ' clock and proceeds to occupy all the best seats. First Student — Hey, Mac, let ' s see your paper a minute; I ' ll give it right back. Second Student — What the hell you hope, Sherrick ; take this two cents and go buy you one. First Student — Keep your d paper, then ; I just wanted to look at it a second. Second Student — I can ' t buy your literature for you all the year. Why don ' t you loosen up occasionally and spend two cents. Third Student — Thay, Sherwick, what ith the clinic thith morning? I ther- taintly did have to hurry to get down here on time thith morning. (A good fifteen minutes before nine at present.) Second Student — Prostatectomy, I guess. Fourth Student — (Leisurely sauntering down the tiers.) — Say, Ford (cries out from aloft), what ' d you make on gynecology? The grades are posted. 173 I9I7 (g ' .i THg- rRA i I9I7 Third Student — 1 don ' t know. When did yoii thee ' em ? Fourth Student — They ' ve just been put up. Go see what you got. Third Student — Can ' t leave now; ' fraid thombody ' 11 get my theat. (At least six other students in the whole amphitheatre.) Nine o ' clock is fast approaching, and a noise sounding like the Richmond Blues on parade is heard; the door is pulled open and a throng of aspiring M. D. ' s file in. Fifth Student — Who in hell was that I saw you out with last night, Charley? Nurse? Sixth Student — Naw, she ' s a nice girl. Fifth Student — Hell she is ; she ' s a second flat. Sixth Student — Ah, well ; have it your way. Fifth Student — W ell, I just wanted to know before I asked you anything else about her. Seventh Student — (Whispers to friend) — Say, Jud, see that peach I was out with Saturday night? Went to Lyric. Eighth Student — Yes you did. I go an M. P. of you spending sixty cents in one night. Where does she live — Fulton or Fairmount? Seventh Student — West Franklin. Eighth Student — I hope she is better looking than the last one I saw you out with. She looked like seven miles of rough road. Seventh Student — This is a new one, just met her. A wistful slip of a girl, with deep, brown, frightened eyes, a sobby, drooping mouth and a satiny skin from which the color has all but ebbed. Jerry, she has that dainty prettiness Eighth Student — Ah! cut the bull. It sounds like one of Wolfe ' s poems. Entre of operating staf ' headed by our leading character in white trousers, the length of which makes one think that he is either wearing some of his more intimate apparel on the outside, or else forgot his trousers altogether. There is much splash- ing of water and snapping of gloves. First Surgeon — (Glancing at trousers.) — Gentlemen, since youth everything I ' ve had has been too short for me. Tenth Student — E-v-e-r-y-thing, Doctor? First Surgeon — Gentlemen, so far this year on this clinic we have been extremely 174 I9I7 (i?j THE SrRAT ' l P ig) ' I9I7 fortunate. Our hjdrocele left the hospital last week. Our old prostate is up and about the hospital chasing the nurses. I am going to discharge him to-morrow. But I knew it all wouldn ' t be clear sailing. We have it here. Fistula of the bladder. Gentlemen, let me tell you, there is no condition in the annals of surgery more annoy- ing to the surgeon, and no condition in which the results are apt to be so disappoint- ing as a fistula of the bladder. One Hundred and Tiientietli Student — (Hurries in late, as usual, smoking his past prandial cigarette. Selects his seat, props his feet up and begins to lace his shoes.) (Leans toward student next and in a sotto voce.) — Mac, I went down to the hospital last night. Ninety-ninth Student — What ' d you do? One Hundred and Tiventietk Student — (In a still more marked sotto voice.) — Now, don ' t ' ou breathe a word to a soul about this. I tell you that girl ' s too strong for me. I can ' t handle her First Surgeon — (Heard after interruption.) — Gentlemen, think of a balloon which is constantly blown up and then allowed to collapse. I awsk you, I say I awsk you, what condition is more difficult? This case has been operated on twice before for this same condition by two very good surgeons, I am told, without relief, and I venture to say she will be operated on twice more without relief. Gentlemen, I awsk you to think of a balloon . (The patient is rolled in, the surgeon takes his place. After picking up and dropping several knives in disgust, he finally selects one. By spraddling his legs and crouching over he manages in some miraculous way to assume his operating posture.) Gentlemen, I once attended a clinic in New York of a famous surgeon heralded the country over. With one graceful swoop of the knife he opened the abdomen, with the next graceful swoop he cut into the bladder. Gentlemen, I ' ll tell you, you ' ll make mistakes, and you, and you, and even I ' 11 make mistakes. (The site of opera- tion is now in view.) Here it is. Gentlemen, just as I told you; sutures pulled out. Think of a balloon, gentlemen. (He forms his hands to shape a balloon.) I ' ll replace these sutures again, but I venture to say and I ' ll wager one hundred dollars that she will be back again for this same trouble in less than two months. Eighty-seventh Student — I ' ll take a nickle of it. Seventy-sixth Student — Let me in on it, too. (The mere mention of the filthy lucre arouses the sporting blood of quite a num- ber. The rattle of the bones is heard in the distance. Those who would contest 175 I9I7 g: THg- rRAY i9 I9I7 assume a bored attitude. Soon one cannot stand the strain any longer. He struggles out, quickly followed by several others in whom the sporting instinct is strong.) Tivcnty-fifth Student — (To man next.) — Did you see the way he put those sutures in ? Dr. Willie Mayo does it differently. I saw him do three this summer. You know I was out there all summer. Tiventy-sixth Student — (Boredly.) — Uh ! huh! (Turns to student on other side of him.) He ' s pulling that Mayo stuff again. Wouldn ' t you think he ' d get tired of it ? I bet he wouldu ' t know Willie Mayo from Jack Rose. Tiventy-seventh Student — Oh ! he ' s strong for that Mayo stuff. He changed cars at Rochester once and you ' d think he was surgeon-in-chief out there. Twenty-eighth Student — To hear him talk you ' d think Willie and Charlie and the whole d bunch came down to meet him with a brass band. (The operation is completed, several students arise, some to commune with Lady Nicotine, others, urged on by the musical rattle of the bones and the shouting of I got it all ; come on, seven ; show a jit, decide to risk a thin dime with Dame Fortune.) First Surgeon — Gentlemen, our next case is that of hypertrophy of the prostate, which I am going to attempt under local anssthetic, for this old man, whom I judge to be three score years and ten, will not make a favorable candidate for the profound narcosis of ether. He does not possess the youth and vitality of you young men up there. The old fellow with scythe plays no favorites, and I fawncy he has taken his toll in this man. His heart and kidneys already overburdened with the weight of years could not stand the extra strain placed upon them by a general anses- thetic. This old man has been somewhat of a toper in his day — Eighty-fifth Student— (Aloud.) — His sun ' s about set now. Surgeon — (Continuing.) — and has taken largely of wine and women, but J. Sidney Peters and the Purity Squad will see that he takes no more. (Groans from above.) Gentlemen, when this prohibition question started, I fought it with all my will. I lectured against it ; I spent money to defeat it. I considered it a violation of the Jeffersonian principles of democracy that have been rammed down my throat since youth, at home and at the University (thunderous applause) ; but, gentlemen, let me tell you, after I have seen the good it has done : The money which was previously spent at the corner saloon go to buy bread and shoes for the little ones at home ; and, gentlemen, let me tell you that I have seen instances of this. This is no hearsay. Why, I ' d vote for prohibition to-morrow if the question arose again. (Mingled groans and applause.) 176 I9I7 :: THE RAYP P? i9 1915 ' Third Student — Dr. Bvvyan ith got the wight ideah. Twenty-fifth Student — The hell he has. He ' s drunk his share in his day. Some- body told me they used to have to carry him home from the club sometimes. Surgeon — (Washing up and talking over left shoulder) — Gentlemen, shock is one of the most difficult things we surgeons have to treat. I ' ve seen thousands ot men dead on the battlefields of France without a scratch on their bodies. Shock! Gentlemen, caused by the bursting of those tremendous German shells. Thirty-third Student — I didn ' t know Bob ' d ever been to France. Thirty-fourth Student — Why, you poor simp ; he tells us some of his experiences there, every day. While he was away he wrote a daily letter to the Times-Dispatch and sent picture postcards to all his friends. Don ' t you ever read the papers? Thirty-fifth Student — Give Bob the dog. Ninety-seventh Student — (Whistles with astonishment at remarkable statement of our hero). The hub-bub is stilled by entrance of new patient. First Surgeon — (Approaches, lifts covering disclosing large tumor on coon ' s thigh.) — Ah! I venture to say that we have something interesting here. (Glances at chart.) nothing of interest here except history of repeated trauma over area, and four plus wasserman. From talking to patient I learn that he works in mill pulling planks off a table. I venture to say that he strikes his thigh ten thousand times a day. Here we have it. repeated insult to his tissues and four plus. Can any of you suggest a diagnosis? (Calls of Sherrick, Wolfe, Tootsie reverberate through the room.) Twenty-seventh Student — Ovarian cyst. Doctor. First Surgeon — (After momentary shock.) — Let ' s see; it might be a cyst; it might be an aneurysm. (Feels of tumor with far-away look on face.) No pulsa- tion, gentlemen. Soft, fluctuant — . (Pandemonium breaks loose above; door is vio- lently pushed open and breathless crap shooters dash in and hastily seat themselves. Thirty-sixth Student — What the hell ' s the matter, Opp? Cops after you? Fifty-second Student — (Out of breath.) — G — d — if he didn ' t mighty near see me. Thirty-sixth Student — Who mighty near saw you? 177 I9I7 ( m TH i RAY 19I71| Fifty-second Student — Lizzie McCracken pulled the door open and I just had time to grab my money and get behind the door. Seventy-sixth Student — (In loud voice.) — What ' s the matter, Germ; you look pale? Say, Pat, did he get you? Eighty-sixth Student — Naw, I ain ' t scared, but I ' d like to know who in hell got my money. Second Surgeon — (Puts arm around nurse and pinches her cheek during ex- citement above.) First Surgeon. — (Continuing.) — Yes, gentlemen, it might be an aneurj ' sm, de- spite the absence of physical signs ; nothing is sure in medicine, you know. It might be an ecchondroma, an osteoma, a sarcoma — Fifty-fifth Student — (Violently awakened by being hit with a peanut, blinks eyes three times, looks about in reproachful manner then goes back to sleep.) Thirty-seventh Student — Wake up, Preach ; we are getting some hot bull now. Fifty-fifth Student — (Snores out loud, but makes no other response.) First Surgeon — Yes, gentlemen, it might be an occluded hernial sack filled with fluid ; it might be a gumma — a sarcoma. No, I think not, gentlemen — osteoma, lipoma, teratoma, sandoma. One of those curious tumors with hair and skin in it. No, gentlemen, I think not. It can ' t be a glioma, a carcinoma. No. it can ' t be beer. Seventy-sixth Student — (Aroused suddenly.) — Who said beer? First Surgeon — (Grabs tumor firmly and jerks it about in very rough man- ner.) — Now, gentlemen, I venture to say that many of you will want to examine this tumor, but do it gently. (Patient groans.) Don ' t traumatize this place. I note here that his temperature went up after I examined him before. Thirty-sixth Student — D it, Ed., quit hitting me on the head. I don ' t feel in the humor for your Charlie Chaplin jokes. Thirty-third Student — Shot who? Did you kill ' im? Come on. Bacillus; don ' t get grouchy. First Surgeon — Going through same differential diagnosis for the seventh time, begins to operate. Sixteenth Student — (Aside to seventeenth student.) — Seems to me he ' d break his back bending over like that. 178 1917 cg : THg feRAYi Seventeenth Student — Oh ! he gets swaj-back, and it don ' t hurt him much ; but it puts an awful strain on La Roque ' s pants. First Surgeon — (After a lot of pains-taking effort, much sweating, and wiping his nose on second surgeon ' s back, finally cuts out tumor.) — Ah, gentlemen! just as I said — a beautiful aneurysm. Bell sounds in distance, and- the faithful few applaud loudly and start for the door. All exunt. 179 I9I7 ( THE RAY I9I7 A 9 seen y oay Cartoon I ' sT v= -. Our Modus Operandi. FORTUNATE change in policy by the student body resulted in the election of the nucleus of this year ' s staf? last spring. We say turtunate because X-Ray affairs reached an extremely low ebb at the end of the ' i5- ' i6 session; and had the former policy of electing the staff in the fall been followed, the handicap which we had to work under would have been almost too heavy to overcome. As it was. we had the entire summer in which to evolve our present system of business and the entire fall for initiating the rather startling changes. After several attempts to explain our plan in the Skull and Bones we called for a meeting of the student body and proposed that it should give the business of running the Annual into the hands of an advisory board, which board was to con- sist of a representative from each fraternity, the Y. M. C. A., and any group of men who would organize and assume a similar responsibility. The motion was unani- mously carried and a good working basis established. Each member of the stafiE canvassed his constituents and gave in to the business manager a list of subscribers, which he had to vouch for personally. No definite price was set because it was un- derstood that no one was to make a cent out of the busniess, and that the books were to be given out to the subscribers at cost. The advisory board, in every sense, was the court of final appeals, and its man- dates were supreme. The editor-in-chief was wisely allowed the privilege of nominating his staff, a plan by which he can pick out the best men in school for the different jobs, and I9I7 (g : THg E-RAy fe i9 I9I7 so cut out fraternal politics and lessen the chances of getting incompetent men. Again, harmony in the staff is practically assured. This same policy provides for the selection of an assistant editor and assistant business manager, whose principal duties are to learn by the errors and successes of this year ' s staff. This feature cannot be commended too highly. Letting the above suffice for the actual business policy, we come to the method of gathering in the written material, etc., for the book. After a month of vain waiting for response to a general appeal for support from the students, the staff awoke to the fact that to get anything done it must do it itself or make some one else fulfill a specific assignment. While ' this necessitated an early projection of the book ' s future composition, it proved to be a good method of management for such a proposition. Assignments were immediately made of topics, such as The School In the Past, articles pertaining to the School at present, School in Future, Politics at M. C. v., etc., to men capable of turning out material of value, and it was about this nucleus that the book was built. With this consideration of the modus operandi of the ' i6- ' i7 X-Ray we pass on to a new subject. Our Honor System. N honor system is the result of a growth of sentiment in a student body, a system of unwritten laws that govern the transactions of really honorable men. It is to a school as man ' s conscience is to man. As a man grows older, as his observations become more accurate, and as his ability to dis- tinguish between right and wrong becomes more acute, so does his conscience become for him a better compass. So likewise is it with an honor system. Far different is it from a set of rules written in a book. It is in reality the conscience of the school, and whether it is strong enough to stamp out dishonesty and similar vices depends on the senti- ment of the majority. Furthermore, to have an efficient system with which to act, this sentiment must be crystalized out so that all may see. It must be a ligh t to guide, a rod to check the erring, and reprove. A school ' s conscience should be- come more discerning and more exacting each year, but in order to do so each year ' s freshman class must be made acquainted with this conscience as it stands in that stage of its evolution. To state it concretely, men competent to picture this per- vading feeling and the methods by which it governs should address every new class on the subject. 182 I9I7 (g ' i THE fe ' RAY Every right-thinking man appreciates the value to a school of student govern- ment of student affairs, especially affairs of honor. Fortunate, indeed, are we to have this as our heritage, but unfortunate, in a way, are we in that our honor system is not yet quite all to be desired. The advancing requirements for entrance give us each year more men from colleges, and many of these men have lived under efficient honor systems in the hands of the students. Pari passu, our school con- science becomes enlightened ; but shall we wait for this slow method to build for us a partially, satisfactory student government when, by a little effort, we can have a definite M. C. V. system and enroll each new class in the list of supporters? The staff thinks that a heart-to-heart talk to the freshmen each year on the subject of our honor system would work wonders. Show them when they first enter our midst that part of their heritage is the responsibility of conducting their affairs according to the principals of honor, and that the sentiment of the school demands it. As the twig is bent, so will the tree grow. Our Infant Enterprises. pKULL AND Bones: In considering the present student enterprises of dis- tinct value to the school, we come first to that husky infant, the Skull and Bones. Since the first issue last year the doubting ones have rapidly dis- appeared from the scene. Before the paper was a month old it had silenced its knockers and demonstrated in a small way what it would mean to the school. The least we can say in justice to it now, is that every day we are forced to acknowledge, either openly or to ourselves, that its value is steadily on the increase, and that it appears to be an almost unworked mine of rare possibilities for M. C. V. Don ' t misconstrue the word unworked , for its activities and service have exceeded the fairest hopes of every one, with the possible exception of its originator. The rest of us not having the vision, had to be shown ; but since getting our eyes partially open, we have begun to view it in the same light as we do the daily paper, the electric light, the wireless, etc., and wonder how we ever got along without it. It is to the Medical College of Virginia what the International News Service is to the world — it brings the elemental parts together as a whole, and serves as one of its functions that of a unifying agent. If this were all that it did, it would be a thing of value, but this is just one of its many forms of service. The staff ' s sincere wish is that Skull and Bones may grow and prosper. 183 I9I7 (g.! THE RAy i9 I9I7 Y. M. C. A. : Here we come to one of this session ' s new enterprises, and already it is a powerful force for good in our midst. Working quietly and with no attempt at show , its beneficent influence is hardly appreciated by the student body. Many men ignorantly consider it to have but one function here — that of a weekly religious meeting. These men are in line for a rude awakening. The Y. M. C. A. has as its purpose the advancement of anything that will benefit M. C. V. or M. C. V. students. It has initiated our students into the great field of social service, and given us opportunities to use our training and ability for the benefit of others. It has brought our students into closer contact with the Christian influences of the city; it has organized and encouraged Sunday school classes composed entirely of students ; it has helped the fellow who was on the rocks to find employment, and so continue his studies; it has initiated a glee club and ob- tained a splendid director; it has encouraged athletics and assisted in organizing a baseball team; it has studied us, our possibilities and our needs, and then without more ado, has gone to work. Our indebtedness to it is already great, but if it succeeds in its latest enterprise, M. C. V. will be its debtor for life. This enter- prise is none other than the proposed student activity building. Let ' s look at it. The proposition calls for a building to cost about $150,000.00, located near the college. Up-to-date, dormitory rooms, with steam heat, electricity and shower baths at a low rental price. Gymnasium, library, cafeteria, large assembly hall, fraternity halls, offices for publications, faculty room, and so forth, apparently ad infinitum. Its benefits to the school are so obvious and the indications for the same are so urgent, especially now that the school is on that rough and hilly road that is taking us to the heights and needs, as never before, the united backing of a unified student body, that we are impatient to begin working on it. Happily, this proposition has been carefully worked out, and really seems pos- sible of execution. Yes, M. C. V. should glory in its unique position of being a medical college with a real live Y. M. C. A. attachment, and its students should make this attachment a thing of greater value each day ; the method of doing so is quite simple. Hunter McGuire Society: This organization comes into being this year, too, and is the youngest of our school ' s enterprises. That such an organization was needed here before goes without saying, but it is doubtful if it would have met with the same enthusiastic greeting in previous years that it met with this session. That the time was just ripe for it is proven by the hearty reception it received at the hands of both students and faculty. In nature, it might be compared to a hybrid, with one-half of its m ake-up college literary society, and the other half medical 184 I9I7 THE RAY m I9I7 academy. Its membership is limited to Junior and Senior medical students, but its doors are wide open to any one who might be interested. For a freshman or a sophomore to attend these meetings would mean for him a new vision of his work and a more lively interest in his studies of the fundamental sciences of medicine. For the Junior and Senior, the papers read and the discussion would not only in- crease his store of knowledge on the subject, but give him the opportunity to train himself in public speaking, thinking on his feet and conducting his actions according to parliamentary law. For the faculty members who lead the discussion, it means a brightening up of their knowledge of the subject and a valuable opportunity for coming in closer per- sonal contact with their pupils. In every way, the Hunter McGuire Society is a va luable adjunct to the school. It not only stimulates study and research, but above all, it inculcates into its mem- bers the spirit and ideals of modern medicine and renders us better fitted to assume roles of leaders in the medical world. A la Elijah. LD ELIJAH was a prophet who attended county fairs. Essaying the role of prophet is not an occupation peculiar to the editor by any means. All of the real supporters — the real sons of M. C. V. — are acting in the same capacity. Realizing, as they do, the glorious past and the wonderful possibilities for the future, they keep an eye on the present at the same time. They are in a position to voice the findings of their clairvoyant eyes. The students of M. C. V.. i. e., those that have studied their college, were fully prepared for the small classes that were to follo w the raised entrance requirements, and cheerfully undertook the step that was to keep her in the foremost rank. This dark hour, if it can be so called, which they anticipated has come; but even these men did not anticipate the loss of Dr. E. C. L. Miller, with the consequent confusion in the under classes; nor the fact that the seniors would become disgruntled at their over-crowded sections — failure of clinical material for such numbers and apparent lack of interest of certain of their instructors in that most valuable of all their year ' s „.ork — bedside clinics. Yes, that hour is here, but those who have the eye which can see into the future realize that this is that hour that precedes the dawn of a new day.

THE S ' RAyp P iG) 191 suffering; but if they are learned thoroughly their benefits never fail to recompense us many times what we paid for them. This hour, then, is good for M. C. V.! But to look into the untravelled world, to see our college as she will be: We see our students forget their former grievances which much talk had mag- nified, and put their shoulders to the wheel, to aid their Alma Mater ' s onward course. We see new and larger classes of young men better fitted to begin their life-work enter on a course that is getting better each year. We see a students ' dormitory and general activity building doing a wonderful work and filling a long-felt want. We feel a growing sentiment that will amalgamate the two medical schools of the State and put that school here. We see autopsies of our unfortunate clinical cases performed for the benefit of the students. We see a smaller, more alert and compact faculty, whose interests are those of the school and to whom factions and internal strife are unknown. We see the general clinics relegated to their proper place — history — and their place taken by sectional demonstrations. We see the students really doing some of those things they must do after college days are over. We see a school whose faculty and students work closer together and where there is an ever-growing spirit of unity and realization of a common purpose and a common goal. The vision still is clear and the picture painted true, nor is it displayed with the feelings of a Cassandra, but with a firm conviction that those who have not already seen it will see it and will heed the call for their part in the great work of advancing M. C. V. What Are You Going to Do? HIS question is an extremely apt one to both the graduate and the under- graduate, at this time especially, and furnishes the opportunity, and, it is hoped, the incentive for an hour of quiet introspection. For the man in the lower classes it should make him decide definitely whether he was going to be a knocker, a grumbler, and a bastard son to his Alma Mater, or whether he was going to align himself on the side of the builders — the constructive critics — if need be, the supporters of honor and of those student en- terprises and activities that have as their raison d ' etre the betterment of M. C. V. Whether he was to shun and criticize his fellow-students because they belonged to another class or department, or whether he was going to work with them in the up-building of a college spirit that would make the college his college, and a factor for greater gccd in the world. In oth er words, to be not a spurious son, but a real son. i86 I9I7 C?.! TH RAy i9 I9I7 To the graduate just entering upon the practice of his chosen profession it should make him pause and carefully consider his first steps. Do they lead to the road that is travelled by the unprincipled slaves of Mammon — the men who have forgotten their high ideals, if they ever had any, who are injuring their confreres, preying on the public, prostituting their high calling to greed and jeopardizing the honor of their profession ; or do they lead to the road travelled by the honored and worthy servants of humanity, the men who are daily trying to live up to the ideal they made for themselves in the rosy hours of youth — the men who are making scien- tific study, higher ethics and greater service their aims? The question is surely an apt one — IVhat are you going to do? 187 I9I7 (g?. THg - RAy i9 I9I7 Who UYCif ioY the burden. the i]i hl,aJ the rain And Ike lon steep, lone I v lO Q ?

HE YOUNG MEN ' S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION, as its name implies, is a religious organization primarily, and its chief object is to lead students to become disciples of Jesus Christ as Divine Lord and Savior ; to lead them to unite with the church ; to promote growth in Christian faith and character, and to enlist them in daih ' Christian service. It stands back of and pushes every form of college activity that is of worth to the students ph ' sically, morally, and mentally. Medical men are thrown in contact with classes of people of all conditions and environments of life. It is we who obtain the confidence of and touch the responsive chords of these people. If we wish to use this opportunity to lift suffering humanity to a higher plane of spirituality and morality, we must be men of moral and Chris- tian virtues and take as our standard the ideals of the life of Christ. In a scientific school of this type students are prone to become lax in their morals and to look with contempt on, or indifference, to their spiritual needs. When we enter such a school our objects and ideals are noble ones, but in our eagerness to equip ourselves for our work the Christian perspective is apt to be lost unless Christian influences are con- stantly thrown around us. The Association attempts to meet this need by frequent lectures on moral and religious subjects, by church affiliation membership, by Bible- study classes, and by encouraging social service work to eliminate the evil and uphold the right. The physical and social side of a medical man should not be neglected. Here where there are hundreds of students from different parts of the country, a common meeting ground for the students is absolutely necessary ; a place where college spirit is fostered, where lasting friendships are formed, and where one may turn aside from the routine of studies to engage in recreative games and physical exercise. At present plans are under way to build and equip an association building where these privileges may be offered students. The Association is not yet one year old, but since it was inaugurated an organi- zation has been perfected that will be permanent and a student secretary ' employed to give his entire time to the furtherance of the work. The students have shown an interest in the work that has exceeded the expectations of the most enthusiastic 245 I9I7 (s r THS RAYJ P Q) ' 1 17 promoters. At present two-thirds of the student body is enrolled in the Association. In the Social Service Department many students have volunteered and given lectures on hygienic subjects to people in the factory and slum districts. The few interested men who are responsible for the inauguration of the Associa- tion here are not perfect men, but they are men who realize that daily Christian service and training are essential for the maintenance of their religious per- spective during the period of preparation here, and for the renderance of a great Christian service as practitioners. The Association is here to meet a need and render a service. Your co-operation is asked in all of its undertakings. It has already accomplished much, but it has greater things in view. Nothing short of a well-equipped central student building is going to satisfy those who love their Alma Mater. 246 I9I7 (g ' .i r THg ' ERAyp 191 The Hunter McGuire Society. NLY a few brief months ago the idea of establishing a medical society for undergraduates, a thing heretofore unknown to this school, was conceived in the minds of a few imaginative students. The idea was propagated from student to student, which set them to thinking, as was evident from the groups which gathered in the halls discussing the merits and demerits of such a society. Air castles were built, and visions of the great benefits to be derived, should it mate- rialize, arose in their minds. While these thoughts were still in their incipiency a group of twenty hopeful students held a meeting on the night of December 12th for the purpose of organiz- ing this Medical Society and of transforming their air castles and visions into realities. Interest and enthusiasm was abounding, as was shown by the fact that nearly every one present had practical suggestions to make for organizing and con- tinuing the society. That same night the election of officers was held, W. A. O ' Brien being elected president, J. R. Schultz, • vice-president, and F. C. Hodges, secretary and treasurer. A committee was appointed to draw up a constitution and by-laws. It was decided that all students and professors be invited to attend these meetings, but that active membership be limited to the members of the junior and senior medical classes. Later the nurses of all the hospitals in the city were included in the invitation to attend. The time set for holding the meeting was every other Wednesday night. At the next meeting, when the question of a name for the society arose, there was one which seemed pre-eminently suitable. The name of Dr. Hunter Holmes McGuire, the father of our present dean, conveys to our minds all that is great in medicine and in surgery, so for this reason our society was christened The Hunter McGuire Society, the constitution and by-laws of which were soon after adopted. At every meeting there were to be submitted two original papers on subjects pertaining to medicine or surgery, the discussion of which was to be opened by some member of the faculty, a trained expert in that particular line. Following the opening discussion by the professor, the subject was to be thrown open for a general discussion by all present. It is evident that the benefits of such a plan are reciprocal. 247 I9I7 (5?.:: ? THE- rRAy B both the speakers of the evening and the audience profiting by the papers and the discussions. The good to be derived from it is largely in direct proportion to the amount of care and thought given in writing the papers. The purposes of the society are briefly these : to train its members in expressing correctly their views to others; to become accustomed to speak in public; to uphold what the} ' believe to be the proper viewpoint of a question, and to defend it against adverse criticism ; and to bring them mind to mind with other men, and help prepare them for the mental competition with which they must contend throughout life. On January 25, scarcely more than a month af-ter the conception of the society, the first regular program was carried out in the large lecture hall in the Old College Building, which was to be the official place for all future meetings. The subjects were interesting and very well presented, showing the large amount of care and thought spent in their preparation. The first opening discussion, by Dr. R. C. Bryan, of the faculty, was excellent, and he gave us much encouragement and valuable advice as to the future. Every one came away feeling that he had been well repaid for attending, and with the resolution to make the society the best thing ever estab- lished in this institution. At each subsequent meeting it becomes more apparent tnat their resolutions will be realized, for the interest continues to grow, the programs continue excellent, the members of the faculty willingly give their invaluable dis- cussions, and the attendance is steadily increasing, being considerably more than twice as large as at the beginning. Are we not justified in feeling very proud of our Hunter IVIcGuire Society? 248 I9I7 (3?.i THg RAy i9 iW o I9I7 (i?

N. 251 I9I7 TH RA m I9I7 The Pharmaceutical Association. T was the year of 1908-09 that a small group of students of the De- partment of Pharmac} ' of the University College of IVIedicine met together and formed a fraternity organization, which is now known as the Pharmaceutical Association of the Medical College of Vir- ginia. The purpose of this organization is to increase interest in the college work and the field of pharmacy ; also to create a bond of closer fellowship among the members of the student body. The meetings of the Association are held twice a month, on the first and third Tuesday nights. The program consists of papers, readings from drug journals, State Board quizzes and debates. These meetings offer opportunities to the students to become acquainted with many problems that come up in the after-life and the new development of pharmacy of today, which are not taken up in the class-room. There is no class that means quite so much as this training does after leaving school ; for here one learns to speak in public, and to express his own thoughts, and besides, he learns the ideas of his fellow-classmates. Besides these, there are many invited speakers from the faculty. State Board men, doctors and pharmacists of the city, to speak upon new opportunities and the great development in the field of pharmacy. Every member having a good record of attendance and activity during the two years will, at the close of his Senior session, receive a certificate of distinction. 252 1917 ± THH : RAY i9 1917 253 1917 (3?2 g THE:: RAy i9 I9I7 Inkrne Club Members MEMORIAL HOSPITAL Brake, B.

History of the IVIarried Men ' s Club is necessarily limited, having been organized late in the year. Suffice it to say that it is composed of eighteen typical married men, some even to the extent of Daddies, from the various classes and departments. We claim a certain air of distinction over our less (or more, as the case may be) fortunate college-mates, in that we have already performed one of the duties, and relieved ourselves of the one largest task in the lives of our brothers. The regular meetings of the Married Men ' s Club are held any time there hap- pens to be a member who wants a night out — the widely-sought-f ' or excuse to the Madame, at times. Ask Sherrick. Our members have been active in every phase of college life, always ready and willing to help their class-mates over the rough and rocky way that leads on to suc- cess, and always standing for the things that are right in every instance. We pre- dict a bright future, glory and success for each one in his chosen profession. E. E. Anderson, Historian. Anderson, E. E. coffindaffer, c. c. Crouse, W. F. FOLTZ, J. D.

C. V. of Tomorrow. To-morrow and to-morrow creeps in this petty pace from day to day. 1 p AST night I dreamed of the tomorrow. Some one has said that our dreams are the subconscious outbursts of the libido turned loose; of the yearnings and ambitions of the Soul. It is hard to recount a dream, but a vision is always a vision, and I can relate this to you most accurately. Listen : Again I was a verdant Freshman at the Medical College of Virginia. I almost forgot to say to you that I was entering in September, 1950. You who live in the realms of today know the things of today, but we who are blessed with the Heaven-born gift of imagination and child-like hope, live and have our being in the glorious grandeur of the future. I say this that you will be tolerant and receptive of those things which I am about to relate. I had previously taken my academic degree at University for require- ments for entrance at ] I. C. V. were a college degree. I had chosen ]VI. C. V. for its reputation and for the successes of its graduates who daily cast resplendent glories upon their Alma Mater. I chose the college also because of its situation in the ac- knowledged metropolis of the Southland, Richmo nd, and what was more to the point, because it was the recognized educational center of medicine. Imagine, there- fore, my surprise and inward joy when I found the following conditions obtaining. I hope you will pardon any seeming adherence to unnecessary details, for I am such- a poor judge of the apropos that I must, perforce, include every item. Naturally, I was taken in hand by the college Y. M. C. A. I say naturally, f ' or this organization had performed that function since way back in 1916, at its inception. I was taken up to the Student Activity Building and placed in charge of some upper-classmen, who were exceedingly nice to me, and didn ' t talk fraternities or politics. When meal time came, I went into the cafe attached to the building and enjoyed myself most heartily. I also signed up for rooms in the dormitory, sixth floor, and although it was one of the cheapest suites in the building, I had a study room, bath, bed-room and book-case included therein. 273 1917 (g 2 TH ' ' RAT W I9I7 I then went over to the Administration Building at Twelfth and Clay streets, which, for sentiments ' sake, was now used for business purposes and also for housing the enormous library ' and the specimen museums. This building looked like a pigmy beside the Municipal Hospital, which was attached to it and hemmed it in on two sides. A tablet on the front facade of this latter building read: This marks the site of the Virginia Hospital. I later heard one of the old men refer to it as the Hirshberg Memorial Hospital. Across the street was the magnificent main build- ing, which took up the entire block through to Marshall street. In the center of the building was an open court filled with botanical plants. I cannot begin to describe this building, which was to be my home for four years, and indeed it is not necessary, for it was one of the show places among the city ' s points of interest. The labora- tories were par excellence. I spent the whole of my first day meeting my instructors, looking over the buildings and arranging my tickets. The day following I spent in looking over the facilities for study and recrea- tion, which I had heard so much about. I spent an hour in the gym of the Student Activity Building, for this was prescribed in the curriculum. I found the swimming pool large and refreshing and the students amiable. There were no such things as rats at the M. C. V., I was promptly informed. I went next the rounds of the various hospitals, which were at the disposal of the students for clinical observation. I A -ent first through the Municipal Hospital, to which I have already referred, and I found it enormous and complete in every detail. Even the nurses seemed to be in keeping with the spirit of the place. Just across the street was the Sheltering Arms — what an appropriate name for a hospital ! It was not quite so large as the Municipal, but equally as complete. It was now afternoon, and I «ent to the Mem- orial Hospital, which was the especial pride of the college. I had imagined it was a single building, but what was my surprise to find that it was a veritable little city in itself. So I decided to take the proposition systematically, and sec it all. The Dooley Pavillion for the Colored was truly wonderful and full to the overflow. The Contagious Hospital was all that any one might desire in the shape of a modern infirmary for these dread diseases. But best of all was the main building, contain- ing a thousand beds. I cannot begin to describe the vastness of this place. I may give you some vague idea by saying that its twenty operating rooms bewildered me with the magnitude. There as also a large building connected to the group de- voted especially to laboratory and research work. Returning to the college I was surprised to find that I had missed the Retreat for the Sick, Richmond ' s oldest hos- pital, and I found it quite as modern and complete in its appointments as the others. I thought I had seen all, but an old man told me that I had missed the real treat — the old college building. I had heard my father talk of this wonderful old 274 I9I7 : TH ' m AY ' W 191 building, reeking with science, but I had thought that the wave of modernism and commercialism had long since swept into oblivion that old landmark. I found it ivy-covered and set like a precious stone among the maze of modern structures. It rose like the pyramids of old to proclaim the grandeur of our illustrious forebears and its sainted founders. My vision became confused at this point, for struggling with the real of today the thoughts of the tomorrow crowded my waking. There was a hurried confusion of fine men going to and fro from class. There was the awe and the hush of the operating clinic. There was the bustle and the business appearance of the enormous free dispensary. There was the endless chain of chairs in the Dental Infirmary. In short, the college was going full-blast, and I felt that of all the colleges that I might have chosen none could have been more complete, none more inviting, none more conducive to real learning than the Medical College of Virginia, my Alma Mater. 275 I9I7 (?, ?

V. w fc s m M i . C. V. ' s record in Athletics is one, that for distinctive features, rare achievements and radical departures from the usual lines of sport, will stand out prominently among the records of great colleges of the world.. Scorning to follow the laws laid down by certain so-called au- thorities on college athletics, we have given free rein to our versatile athletes, and our achievements speak louder than words of the wisdom of this course. True to the age in which we live, we have become specialists in certain de- partments of the several national pastimes. Let us consider base- ball first. Now, it is a well- known fact that every high school boasts of a full team and several substitutes, but do we be- long to that class ? No ! By all means, no ! We specialize. Pitch- ing is in great favor among our athletes, and to see our husky young men hurling peanuts, cigarette boxes, tinfoil and such missiles with marvelous speed and accuracy makes one gasp with wonder. Rarely ever do they miss the plate — I mean pate — and why not? Haven ' t we had training for four years? One must search a long time to find a better training camp than Anatomy Hall , with its beautiful hunks of meat, rare specimens of atrophic livers and floating kidneys of 4th degree, i. e., that float clear across the room. Catching and batting, too, are not neglected. Our catch- ers rarely fail to catch when it comes to filling out a straight or a full house, and our batters are even more renowned. Is it not a cause for pride as we view the old boys, veterans of many a hard contest, bat each other over the head? What if they are mostly married and are get- ting bald ? Hasn ' t every game its grand old men ? 279 I9I7 TH feRAY g 1915 But let us look further. Any article on athletics that didn ' t consider those two hranches of sport that have reached their highest development here would be a rank failure. I speak, of course, of Mexican athletics and Bush-shaking. At once a host of stars clamor for recognition. In the first category, who could ever forget the golden-haired lad who jumps up from the back row — the quiet-voiced two hundred pounder — who is also, by the way, our own White Hope ; the spare-made lad with coal-black hair and flashing eyes that have recently become adorned with the insignia of the Intelligence Club, and others of less magnitude, among them one whose thoughts are frequently emitted in iambic pentameter ; another who fills up the time he has to be quiet by dispensing ethereal vapors, and so on ad infinitum. In the second branch the small, the large, the fat, the thin, the long and short, are all so intimately associated and so eager for recognition that one must pause. In a galaxy of stars such as these, to pick out any one for particular mention would cause the others to become cyanosed yith envy. Nor would the writer have the temerity to anger men who have nerve enough to hang over the front railing by their toenails, while they gaze hungrily into the professor ' s eyes and control with diffi- culty the twitching of their faces, as they anxiously await the chance to grab a dill. The vision of these athletes rises before us as we write, nor can we proceed further without recognizing the two spare-made brothers, whose speech belies their statues, the white-clothed figures that are rendered more conspicuous by tortoise-shell facial adornments — the little chap with inverted pen and port side delivery — the lad who keeps us all uneasy lest he get his nose cut of¥ by the operators; and last, but not least, a fair son of Abraham and a frequent nextdoor neighbor, whose name echoes and re-echoes throughout the room, to his apparent discomfort but inward enjoy- ment. ' Tis not hard to recognize these men as stars, and it were superfluous to add that, with their confreres, they would gladly engage any bunch of berry-grabbers or pitchfork wielders that could be brought against them. But to change again, and consider a new line of sport. The next in order for consideration is track athletics. Fortunately, we do not have to worry about weather conditions here at all, so there is nothing to prevent this branch flourishing all the year. Track vies with Mexican athletics here, and as stars on one team frequently shine on the other, we hesitate to give either the preference. When it comes to running. Mercury himself is put to shame by our fleet-footed lads. What could be more thrilling than watching a trio of self-constituted leaders of men, fresh from a training table repast of that fine meat which made Caesar so 280 I9I7 ? m THH :: RAY S I9I7 great, and backed up staunchly by their adopted brothers, begin a race for student body honors? Their every step and action betokens a training which, if William Jennings had had, would have resulted in the staining of every tablecloth in the White House with grape juice long ago. Political racing, though, is entirely too strenuous to he indulged in for any length of time, and so our track athletes are con- strained to adjourn to the campus. Here they indulge in such mild forms of track activ- ity as running fifteen balls on the break and making the point after hitting four cushions. The gem of all forms of track activity, though, is the iVIemorial Hospital ma- ternity squad. Witness the insert at the beginning of this dissertation, as it depicts three of our star performers. The stork, whom they are racing, is so far in the rear that he not only didn ' t get his picture taken, but will probably be several hours late reaching the goal. Now, isn ' t that some racing? Doesn ' t that sound like an unbeatable record ? Yet every man in the Senior class has made that team at some time in his career. Surely there is need of no further proof that track athletics are •veil established here. But to get on a minor chord of the same tune. M. C. V. also holds all hill- cimbing and endurance records in the two-cylinder class. Never were such feats recorded as are performed here daily. Witness the mad rush up the winding stair- way at Memorial on Saturday morning just as the clock strikes nine. This stairway, to mount which would require three stages by one unaccustomed to the training here, is frequently accomplished by our hardened youths in half a minute, and even then the reward for their endeavors is often ithheld. Once we reach the heights on which we daily are supposed to absorb the wisdom arising from the valley below, we settle down to a hard grind that will prove as nothing else the mettle from which we are made. Here en- durance records are often smashed to bits — though sad to relate, a lot of our good men fall by the wayside. Unable to keep the pace of the leaders on the front row, men who are otherwise star athletes, will view with dimming eves the white-robed figures in the Osteology Clinic 281 I9I7 g.:: THE -RAY ' I9I7 arena as the} ' utter strange noises through cloth muzzles and jerk their shoulders in ac- companiment. When these dimming eyes have become satisfied with the inspection of the latissimus dorsi, erector spinae, etc., they either close entirely or turn to the Times-Dispatch for entertainment and enlightenment. Failing here, there is the great world outside or the osteology clinic in the cloak-room to relieve the feeling of excessive ennui with which we are beset. Ps ' cology teaches that to hold atten- tion the eye must be constantly seeing some new thing about the object under con- sideration, otherwise it will turn instinctively elsewhere. We have proof that this law is true from every row of seats except number one ; for some strange and unex- plainable reason it doesn ' t hold good there. Endurance overcomes the natural laws of the mind ! Mirabile dictit! Yet such is our record, and wliere can it be sur- passed ? Pugilism, tug-of-war, and otiier forms of gymnastic endeavor, while undertaken rather superficialh ' by certain students of medicine, reach their highest perfection in the Dental department. Rarely ever do you find men who are so expert that they can hit the same tooth time after time with so much sanir froid as do these same dentists. Nor is it the old punching-bag method of standing in one position and banging away, but these young men can stand at a great distance, when the victim is an old man who has just eaten an onion, and it the spot with as great accuracy as they can when they violate the laws of the Marquis of Queensbury and catch the fair object of their solicitous endeavors about the neck with one arm ami do the close-up work with the other. Witness these same athletes as they calmly apply a pair of tongs to a posterior cuspidor of some coon and settle down to a grim pull that could easily tax the strength of an unshorn Samson. Watch them shift first this foot, then that, dig in a ball here, grab a fresh hold when they feel a slipping, and finally, after a super- human effort, feel their opponent give way, and so emerge triumphant from the mighty struggle. Th e tug-of-war is theirs. Last year there was a basket-ball team strutting about proudly with M. C. V. on its shirts, and the Pharmacy lads even went so far as to put out a base- ball team in its entirety. But with the cloud of gloom resting heavily over us, incidental to the fateful first of November, 1916, it seemed as though the spirits of ath- 282 I9I7 3?.i THE RAy B letics had departed from our midst. Games and pastimes are suitable for men only when they are in a joyful and happy frame of mind, but certainly have no place in mournful and melancholy individuals. Now, how could a man be blithe and happy when he had to pass each day the fountain on his campus, once so full of good spirits, cooling draughts with kicks to them, and the genial presence of its presiding deity, John Powell, now presided over by a typical soda jerker dispensing near-beer and milk shakes? Even the thought is sickening. Fortunately for M. C. V., there were men in the freshmen pharmacy and dental classes who had not been here long enough to feel so keenly the iconoclastic actions of the heartless lawmakers on our college traditions. To these men the early hours of balmy spring seem to be bringing a slight surcease from sorrow, and exhibiting a remarkable recuperation even for youth, they have organized a baseball team. This team, under the management of E. S. Haney, Jr., captained by R. T. Morrisette, and coached by R. H. Bruni, has entered upon its practice with a wholesome enthusiasm and splendid spirit that au- gurs well for the successful completion of its rather ambitious schedule. Our brief review of ] I. C. V. athletics and athletes is ended. Would that the Titer could have painted them in the immortal colors which is really their due! Nevertheless, gentle reader, you must be able to see between the lines of this feeble attempt at picturization, and realize in a small way our unique position in the ath- letic world. Now, since our position is so unique, do j ' ou not think that our star athletes deserve unique wreathes, not the old-style laurel wreathes, but wreathes, for example, made from that plant peculiar to our Alma Mater, the Dill Berry Bush? The writer thinks thev do. 283 I9I7 c? THH rRAY C. C. CoFFiNDAFFER, AmateuF Light-Heavy Weight Champion of the South. C. COFFINDAFFER, a member of the Senior Medical Class, ho has been doing a little wrestling at the Central Y. M. C. A. for the last three or four years, decided, after being urged by A. S. Lowsley, a former physical director in Baltimore and now a senior medico, too, to enter the lists at Baltimore and take a try for the Southern amateur championship. By some clever inside work the aforesaid Lowsley obtained permission from Capt. J. J. McSweeney, of the Baltimore Athletic Club, for Coffindaffer to enter the finals without having to go through the preliminaries. Coffindaffer had for his opponent Moore, of Doyles Athletic Club, who had held the light-weight championship for two years. The first bout lasted twelve minutes. Moore started out briskly, but in a very short time became aware that he had tackled a tough propo- sition. Coffindaffer soon took the offensive and was so aggressive that Moore spent most of his time squirming out of tight holes and rolling off the mat. He was about done for at the end of the first bout and wanted to forfeit the match without trying it a second time. Coffindaffer wouldn ' t accept the title on these conditions, and finally got IVIoore back again. Coffindaffer was very aggressive and came very close to pinning his opponent ' s shoulders to the mat, and only an unlucky roll off the mat prevented him from getting his fall. When Coffindaffer tackled Moore again it was seen that Moore was down and out, and the referee stopped the bout after three minutes only had been utilized. The decision, and with it the title, were awarded Coffindaffer on points. Phil B. Trigg, Secretary of the M. C. V. Y. M. C. A., who has been quite active in the promotion of college athletics and other activities of value to the school since his arrival last fall, arranged the trip and deserves a large share of the credit for bringing the championship to M.
