It is the Medical College of Virginia as we have seen it, felt it, and lived it. We do not apologize for the book, for rve know we have put our best efforts into its production. There are things in it, however, you will not like; but before criticizing, we ask that you pause long enough to consider what help you rendered in its publication. The book will have served its purpose if, as we hope, the following pages give you pleasure and deepen your love for Alma Mater.

Evening at last its hours of respite brings, And on his couch his wear]; length he flings. Soft be thy pillow, servant of mankind. Lulled by an opiate, art could never find; Sweet be thy slumber — thou has earned it well — Pleasant thy dreams! Clang! goes the midnight bell! Darkness and storm! the home is far away That waits his coming ere the break of day; The snoWclad pines their wintry plumage toss — Doubtful the frozen stream his road must cross; Deep lie the drifts, the slanted heaps have shut The hardy woodman in his mountain hut, Why should thy softer frame the tempest brave? Hast thou no life, no health, to lose or save? Look.! read the answer in his patient eyes — For him no other voice when suffering cries; Deaf to the gale that all around him blows.

N 1834 the Old Medical College came into existence as an off-shoot of Hampden-Sidney College. While at first only a department of Hampden-Sidney, it was even then specified that the lectures should be given in Richmond, and here they have been given ever since, on such subjects as are recognized as necessary and proper for the degree of Doctor of Medicine, and, when such lectures were satisfactorily passed, the Medical Faculty recommended to the General Faculty of Hampden-Sidney that the candidate be graduated with the degree of M. D. Of those appointed professors according to the original regulations, few others are remembered, either by tradition or otherwise, than Dr. John Cullen, who was at that time appointed Professor of Theory and Practice of Medicine. It is inter- esting further to note that James Madison sat in this first meeting and is one of the signers of the recommendation creating the Department of Medicine. This Medical Department or College was early established in the old Union Hotel, at Nineteenth and Main Streets. In 1845, on the lot in the old Academy or Theatre Square, was completed the impressive building of Egyptian architecture that still stands on its original site, awakening the admiration and even the awe of the passer-by, and is the holy shrine of many a medicus who returning there, often many years after his student days, looks with loving eyes upon the unchanged and unchanging ivy-covered walls of his Alma Mater. A correspondent of the London Telegraph spoke of the Medical College of Virginia as the most beautiful building he had ever seen. From the years 1 838 to 1 845 many changes took place in the affairs and a few in the faculty of the old institution. Grants were made by the Legislature to the Medical College of Hampden-Sidney until finally in 1850 the Medical De- partment of Hampden-Sidney was released by the State from paying interest on the loans from the Literary Fund of the State, the State, however, providing that nothing should effect the securities required, in the first place, to cover the two loans of 1844 and 1845. 15 p =? From 1847 to 1854 even greater changes took place in the affairs of the Col- lege and in its Faculty. In 1853 Dr. Maupin resigned to become a professor at the University of Virginia, while Dr. Wyman had resigned in 1 847 to become a pro- fessor at Harvard. It should be remembered, however, that the world-renowned Brown-Sequard was elected to the Faculty in 1854. However, in 1854, following irreconcilable differences between the Faculty of Hampden-Sidney College and the Department of Medicine of that institution, an act of the General Assembly created a charter for what was to be henceforth known as the Medical College of Virginia, and vested its affairs in a Board of Visitors composed of nineteen members. From this time on it remained a State in- stitution and later at one time received an annual appropriation from the State of $30,000.00, and in 1 860 all its property was conveyed to the Literary Fund and has remained the property of the State since that day. After the war, in 1866, $1,800.00 was given the College and Dr. Hunter McGuire entered its Faculty. An Adjunct Faculty was created in 1871, having among its members Dr. William H. Taylor, Professor of Chemistry; Dr. John J. Skelton, Professor of Obstetrics and Diseases of Women; Dr. George Ross (still living), Professor of Surgery. In latter years many changes and vicissitudes have been the part of the Old School, much self-denial and genuine altruistic work on the part of her Faculty, and a supreme spi rit of sacrifice for a noble institution with noble traditions. II. THE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF MEDICINE Owing to the great need of another school of Medicine in Richmond on account of the large size of the classes graduating each year from the Old School and other colleges, and because of further facilities necessary for satisfactory teaching, the University College of Medicine was accordingly established in 1 893 by a number of Richmond physicians under the leadership of Dr. Hunter McGuire. That the founders of this institution were amply rewarded for their earnest endeavor is clearly shown by the large number of students who at once began to matriculate from dif- ferent parts of the country. In fact, the student body grew to such proportions and the faculty was so enthusiastic for a modern medical school that it immediately began to expand and enlarge its field of influence. Both faculty and teaching facilities rapidly grew and in a short time the school developed to such an extent as to attain a high position among the medical schools of this country. While the school was growing each year larger and more efficient by these progressive stages, and while it was still in its infancy the Main College Building was burned in 1910. But those who had worked so hard to establish the school and to make it one of the leading institutions were not to be dismayed, and at once set about to build even a more modern structure with greater conveniences. Again the loyalty and determination of its supporters were rewarded by the citizens of Richmond who contributed more than $100,000.00 for a new building. As a result of this campaign a handsome new structure was erected at Twelfth and Clay Streets which is now used as the Main Building by the consolidated schools and which stands as a monument to the efforts of those who worked so faithfully from the beginning of the project. This magnificent new building is a model of com- pleteness, and has been furnished with every facility for the most advanced methods of medical education. Everything has been provided that would contribute to the convenience of the students and to thoroughness and efficiency in teaching.

THE CONSOLIDATED SCHOOLS HE TWO medical schools existing in Richmond as separate institu- tions — the Medical College of Virginia and the University Col- lege of Medicine — realizing the many advantages in combining as one organization finally perfected an amalgamation in 1913, giving birth to what is now the Greater Medical College of Vir- ginia. Up to the time of the union of the two schools each institu- tion had by a gradual process of evolution become widely known throughout the country and compared favorably with all the greater medical schools. Therefore, inheriting as it did both the equipment and the cherished traditions of the Old and the New Schools, the Greater Medical College of Virginia began its new life with an inestimable heritage. From the beginning of this union the history of the new institution has been one of growth and advance in the field of higher medical education. Through the com- bination of resources and equipment valued at nearly $1,000,000.00 the school has been able to offer the students many opportunities otherwise impossible, and at the same time increase its efficiency in every way. On account of the advanced possibility of the work and the high standing of the institution its reputation has grown until to-day it has achieved its distinguished posi- tion among the medical colleges of this country. The two thoroughly equipped hospitals owned by the College offer the students clinical advantages that cannot be surpassed at any similar institution. Besides the hospital clinics, the dispensaries of the out-patient department offer a variety of experience in practical work. Here, too, the Pharmacy students gain first-hand knowledge of their work for all pre- scriptions for drugs, furnished absolutely free of charge to all patients, are filled by the Senior Pharmacy students. Likewise the infirmary practice of the Dental Department affords the students advantages in doing their special work under competent instruction. It is evident, therefore, that in the hospitals and dispensaries the senior students of the three schools 7= J. R. McCAULEY Secretary-Treasurer 22 ■x come into intimate contact with that phase of work which is most needed in their respective professions. In this way they acquire the practical working knowledge which inspires confidence and provides efficiency for their future work. Not only, however, is the high degree of proficiency in the school due to the increased resources and appropriations from the State, but to the unselfish devotion of the Faculty, which is probably unequaled by that of any other college in the country. The success of the school in its competition with wealthy and heavily endowed institutions is the best proof of the loyal service of its teachers. The school has kept well in the front rank of medical colleges of America and has been able to maintain this position, not through the gift of large sums of money, but through the endowment of an unpaid faculty which has unselfishly worked toward this end. II. THE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL The Memorial Hospital is an integral part of the Medical College of Virginia. It is the largest general hospital in the State of Virginia, having accommodations for 322 patients, with facilities, without regard of race, creed or color and financial resources. No hospital in the city of Richmond is as accessible as the Memorial Hospital from all sections. Situated on the brow of Broad Street Hill, it is in immediate promixty to the Capitol Square and many public buildings, and within easy reach of all depots, hotels and business section. Its location is quiet and re- moved from the general line of traffic. The hospital proper consists of a group of three buildings, situated at the north- east corner of Twelfth and Broad Streets. It is connected as it were under one roof, and includes an administration building, a private pavilion and a ward pavilion. The private pavilion has accommodations for fifty patients. These accommoda- tions consist of single rooms, two bed rooms and four bed rooms, which are com- fortably furnished. Wide corridors and sun parlors on each floor provide ample facilities for air, sunlight, recreation and social intercourse with friends. The ward pavilion has accommodations for 110 patients. The wards are large, well lighted and ventilated, and a sun porch is located on each floor. 23 X F 24 V The negro pavilion, the new unit of the Memorial Hospital, is situated on the site of the old Medical College of Virginia, and is used exclusively for the care and treatment of negro patients. It has accommodations for ninety-eight ward patients and forty patients in private rooms, and, while it is a part of the plant of the Memorial Hospital, its operation is complete within itself. The Dooley pavilion, another new unit of the Memorial Hospital, also situated on the site of the old Medical College of Virginia, is used exclusively for the care and treatment of patients with contagious and infectious diseases. It has accom- modations for from twelve to thirty-six patients, according to the demand of the service, the rooms having been so planned that from one to three patients may be accommodated. In order to meet the trend in hospital work toward scientific exactness, the Memo- rial Hospital has spent large sums in adding to its equipment. Graduate resident physicians, trained anaesthetists, registered pharmacists, graduate nurses and trained dietetians are among the personnel of its house officers. Its Bacteriological, Patho- logical and Tissue Laboratories and Roentgen Ray Laboratories are thoroughly equipped with the most modern apparatus and are ready for any examination at any time. These laboratories are under the direct supervision of physicians, who are devoting their entire time exclusively to their special branch of medicine. It is, therefore, immediately recognized that the plant of the Memorial Hospital performs a very specific activity in relation to the Medical College of Virginia, and that without the clinical opportunities afforded, which includes every branch of medicine and surgery, the College could not long maintain its high scholastic standing. III. VIRGINIA HOSPITAL The Virginia Hospital, formerly the teaching institution of the University Col- lege of Medicine in its clinical branches, though owned by the Medical College of Virginia, is now entirely under the control of the city of Richmond. For many years there was an arrangement between the city and the College by which patients were treated in this hospital while controlled by the school. But recently, owing to the growing demands in the city for a municipal hospital, the Virginia Hospital 25 v THE DOOLEY (ISOLATION) PAVILION P te miMs ■ ■ , HOT 3 J, THE NEGRO PAVILION 26 T building, which directly adjoins the main building of the College, was leased to the city and a municipal institution established to provide free treatment for both white and colored patients. Extensive improvements have been made, and equipment added to make the institution modern in every way. The hospital wards accommodate 240 patients, and, owing to the large number of daily admissions, an abundance of clinical material is always assured. Through an agreement with the city vast numbers of the patients admitted to the hospital are used for clinical teaching by the College. Students are permitted not only to see operations and to follow treatments, but are allowed to study their individual patients and to make diagnoses under the direction of a member of the Faculty. Training in emergency work is furnished by an automobile ambulance service in charge of members of the resident house staff, who are appointed by the College. The staff of this hospital, with a few exceptions, is appointed from the Faculty of the Medical College of Virginia. This further emphasizes the close relation of the College to the community from which it has already received such loyal support. Co-operation between College and city is now practically complete. 27 X 28 £ CC-)OOL ° ntoidt s ojs k MM y - v F MAJOR A. L. GRAY Chairman School of Medicine H) v Jf acultp ©itittvx Alfred L.

SlEWERS Historian A. L. Denton Poet E. W. BUCKINGHAM, Jr Honor Council Representative 38 T Senior Jflelrical Class istorp HE Medical Class of 1 91 8 is the best class in the history of the Medi- cal College of Virginia; some, or nearly all of the professors say so and even the class admits it. This class entered in the fall of 1914 very much as any other class had entered before it. The men, for the most part, met different people, saw strange faces and felt like strangers in a strange world. Of course their intro- duction to Dr. Christian and Dr. Broadnax came very soon after entrance, but really they were on better terms with Peyton and Chris. Dr. Shepherd, Dr. Budd and Bernard would have completed their acquain- tance with celebrities had it not been for Dr. McCracken, Mr. McCauley and John. But every class meets these, so where is the difference? This class was smaller, not more than one-third as many as the classes before it. The requirements were higher, and many of the men had gotten academic degrees; all of them had spent two years in college before coming here. They went to work and immediately their fame spread; the work, from all accounts, was harder, but was apparently handled with as much ease as had been done heretofore. These men made no great stir, but on the whole, were a hard working bunch and got by. After the first year a few were lost, a few were gathered by the wayside, and the march toward the goal was continued. During the second year the S u and Bones was inaugurated, Billy Simpson being the prime instigator. In spite of the fact that the spare time of a medical student is limited, this paper has flourished and has materially assisted in bringing about some improvements at M. C. V. During our third year we did some practical work and by the second month of the senior year there was not a man who did not feel like a doctor and few who would answer to the simple mister. I showed this history to Darden and he said, Look here, can ' t you put some- thing in about the president of the Y. M. C. A. ? Well, the Y. M. C. A. became active here in the fall of 1916, and this year raised $3,000 to equip an ambulance 39 for service Over there. Daddy being satisfied, a voice came from those who had gathered around asking: How ' s come you can ' t put something in about my high marks? By this time, from the crowd gathered around you would have thought that a crap game was in progress. The whole class was pushing the poor his- torian, firing questions at him. Hey, can ' t you mention the Stuart Circle interne, I ' m president of the Senior Class. How about me? I made just as good marks as John Shultz and I ' m interne at the Hygeia, too, this year. Can ' t you say something about the best looking man in the class? I ' m more popular than Jimmy Clements and I went to the Student Conference and — Shut up, Bev., I want to get him to put something in about the Fleas and how Hatcher and I are the best internes the Sheltering Arms ever had. I don ' t see why you can ' t put in there that I got as many votes as you did for historian, asked Parker, but I understand. Hey, I ' m the smallest man in the class. No, you ' re not, Buck; I am. Now, Bracey, you get out of the way and let him put in ! • ' -g| something about these great young physicians from Wake Forest: lilj Fryar, Moore, and myself. You haven ' t mentioned DuBose. Huh, he speaks for himself, let him say something about the two lantern operators, Hawkins and O ' Brien. Time to mention little children like Kenny. I ' m the best artist in the class and I think married life is fine; give Kirk Parnsh a boost. Don ' t forget me, says Ray Paul, I ' m in Section III, wi th Dutch Siewers and Lester Wood. Put something in about Drewry, he never says anything. Fortunately, Dr. Henson came in at this time and with the assistance of Scrub- up Nance, began to operate. He had almost gotten the towels sewed into the side of the incision, when Gip Terrell yelled out: It ' s eleven o ' clock, let ' s go. — and the class departed — that is to say all except those dill pickers who for three years had hung on; they just couldn ' t break the habit. 40 P Edgehill Omega Upsilon Phi t. b., funny face, otto, c. p.

Pleasing and jovial in countenance, with a have you heard this one ever on the tongue. Most men know Baker by the name of guinea-pig, not from the standpoint of size, but on account of his broad, ever-present smile. Until last year we feared as to his future, when suddenly, like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky, he betook unto himself a wife and now we have no fears. Robert now leads a well regulated life and has put aside certain hours for study — a fact which has been noticed by all. Baker greets all the freshmen with a little note-book.

AFTER taking a much needed rest from the activi- ties of his first year ' s work, Duke came back, and having come back, stayed. Whether medicine had taken a firm grip upon him we cannot say, but this we know: the profession needs men like him. As a student Duke has shown the value of hard work and application — may we attribute this to his being a good husband? In the years to come Virginia Hospital will look back upon Duke as an exceptional man, and it is hard to say just how Dr. Newton will be able to conduct his clinics without Duke, his babies, and castor oil. Any member of the Senior Class who chances to be in New York five years from now will be able to drop in upon Duke at Bellevue Hospital. All they need to do is ask for the Surgeon-in-Chief.

We say this with some misgivings, but he proclaims it at every opportunity. It was beyond him to suffer the monotony of Richmond alone, so one day last fall he inveigled his fair lady into marrying him; so now there ' s a Mrs. Brown and a new member of the Senior Class Benedict ' s Club. Since that adventure we have noticed quite an improvement in Brown, yet he still has great love for Brown ' s Mule and a distaste for all things pertaining to chemistry. As a gynecologist Brown tops the list. Who of us have not beard from the pit during gynecological con- ference, That ' s right, you were in my Junior class last year, weren ' t you. Brown? Though possibly not as a gynecologist, the Army needs Brown, and we are patiently awaiting the time when we can greet him as Lieutenant. Can ' t you little Joe onc ' l?

As a ladies ' man he is sought for by many, especially in the West End, but now that he is Interne at the Virginia Hospital, the ladies have to suffer. Buck is small, but he says that he has the knack — we think he has. In clinics, as a rule, we poor onlookers are in the dark as to the much beshrouded operators, but when we hear the faint yet positive, I am serious, Doctor, all know that it is little Buck. We all love Buck and wish him the success that he deserves, even though he is a ladies ' man. No, it ain ' t! Wait! Wait! Doggone it! yes, it is; yes, it is. 42 Jackson, Miss.

AFTER getting his academic letters and teaching for a while down South, Carter and the madam started North to learn medicine. He stopped at Charlottes- ville long enough to get off the Freshman year at the University of Virginia. Then he came to Rich- mond and his wanderings ceased. He is glad to have gotten to M. C. V. in time to take his last three years of medicine with the class of ' 18, and the class, too, was glad to adopt him. As well as being one of the biggest, he is also one of our hardest workers, for he attends school during the day and takes care of the wounded at the Locomotive Works at night. It is whispered that several of the nurses were much disappointed when they learned that he was a Benedict. When he gets through in June he is going back to Mississippi to administer calomel and quinine to the natives, and we expect to hear good results from his work.

If Bev. is ever gassed by the Boches, the first pretty nurse who kneels by him and begs him to open his eyes will be awarded by his instant return to life. Neurology has taken such a firm hold on him that it has become more than a hobby. This might not be called a weakness, since it has made his fame great at Tucker ' s Sanitorium, but why should he condemn as tabetic every victim of rheumatism and malnutrition demonstrated in clinics? Last, but not least, is his weakness for osteology acquired in anatomy hall and annex during the Freshman year. It has stuck with him throughout the whole course. Though at times this is a source of much worry, the rattle of dried bones is always music in his ears. Liked by all who know him, we are expecting him to make a name for himself and his Alma Mater in the field of intravenous and intraspinous medication.

Following this there was a period of abnormality about Jimmie, for the very next day he took a man in and bought him a Coca-Cola. But this generous feeling soon left him and he returned to normal. However, James is a hard-working man and has proved his ability by his work at the Retreat for the Sick this year. Some day he will be a wealthy man we feel sure, for he has the ability of putting the almighty dollar aside — and there the matter ends.

Liked by one and all, he is a friend to all equally as well; in fact, he might be a regular fellow but for the restraining influence of being the head of a family. That in due time he will be the successful physician there is no doubt, for the man who bluffs the fair sex into matrimony must be able to bluff a sufficiently large clientele.

DARDEN was called Preacher at Trinity College and Professor while teaching in the sand-hills of North Carolina, but when he came to M. C. V. he was nicknamed Daddy. The four characteristic features of his career are: a meerschaum pipe; persistently late to class; The sweet- est girl in the world ; boon companion to Trigg. Methodical in all his ways, he carries system to a fine point in the class room. He sits down, crosses his knees, borrows a match, lights his pipe; then, and only then, begins to take notes. But, speaking of note-taking, Daddy rules supreme, for the contents of that black note-book of his has constantly brought him 95s and respectable grades to Ray, Creepy, Bev, Hatcher, and other Note Parasites. don ' t know about that, let ' s see noTu.

Dembrow and the chief war-talker of the Faculty once had a long conference on Socialism and the war, after which the Doctor bought him a drink and a paper — a few days later Dembrow got 100 on Surgery quiz.

AND it so happened that in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and sixteen, there came to the Medical College of Virginia one Aulsey Leo Denton, who had been two years in Medicine at Wake Forest. And who was Denton? Oyez, oyez. Denton was the man who started in to study for the ministry. But there came a time when he sang The Last Rose of Summer in the church in Raleigh, N. C, and thereupon all the damsels in attendance cast many roses upon him — not to speak of shy glances — so that he had to wade through at least four feet of blossoms. And straight from this ordeal did Denton quit the ministry for Medicine; and throughout the land there was weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. Grandly doth he uphold the dignity of a physician and nobly doth he strive for success. Well, you nom, you understand. THE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL found itself en- cumbered in the summer of 1917 by one Dill. That he is of the Dill Pickle brand we don ' t know; however, at once he sprang into the limelight by the manner in which he administered the odor of the operating room. He is an aspiring young man of few words and a happy disposition. He treats trouble and petty worries with disdain, nor does he indulge in the hilarity of the common herd. We have been told that on him the blandishments of the fair sex are wasted — that he is a confirmed woman hater; but close observation and in- quiry have made us doubt it, and his closest friends emphatically deny it. He will be a handy man in the service, for when not treating the wounded he can gas the enemy.

WHEN Les first walked down Marshall Street, the boarding-house proprietors took one look and quickly pulled down their signs, for they knew that the old saying, a lean horse for a long run, was true. During his first, second, and third years he tried to fatten by eating peanuts throughout all the classes, but of late he has come to the Climax. Les went on O. B. duty this last winter and finished in re- markably short time. How that could happen no one knows, unless it is that he answered no questions under two hours ' deliberation, and hence he has just left when he got ready to answer. Well, it saves time, anyway. As an afterthought, possibly, by the time Daddy had found Les — and by the time they both got ready — all they had to do was to decide whether to call the child Oscar or Walter. In spite of his extraneous activities, he belongs to the Curler ' s Club. (Too late for publication.) JEW BOSE was born somewhere in sunny South Carolina, and having found his way to Richmond, matriculated at M. C. V.

GUSTAVE BEAUREGARD DUDLEY is every bit as much as his name, and then some. He came to us with all the assurance of a backwoods son of Henry county and a graduate of Washington and Lee, to which he has added that acquired during the past four years. Gus excels at most things at M. C. V.; for ex- ample, brains, intelligence, percentages, perspection, and all that sort of thing; loud shirts, self-esteem, brilliant diagnoses, etc., but, strange to say, he willingly assumes second place in Neurology and Psychiatry. And we say this advisedly, hucause we have suffered for four long years from his chronic willingness to spread knowl- edge without regard to time, place, or solicitation. As a knocker Gus would be an armament to any colonial door, for nothing that was made at creation or has originated since exactly suits this critical young man. With all this he is a good sport, for if he makes below 95 per cent, on a quiz, he does not interview his professor. Well, you ain ' t so pretty FOX is a man of a few words.

Fox got desperate and bought him a cap that would make the Bird of Paradise ashamed of its plumage. His name is Patrick and he comes from McConnellsville, so he must be Irish. He has few of the characteristics of the Irish, though, for he smokes a cigar and keeps his wit to himself; but it is said he can fight the equal of any cop. Regardless of descent, he is American through and through, which fact he is anxious to prove to the Boches. Since one doctor is worth five hundred soldiers.

For the past year Doug, has been in charge of the City Jail Hospital and has done much to relieve the monotony of the unfortunates behind the bars; this is attested by all of us who have attended his clinics. Freeman ' s greatest pleasure is persecuting Terrell during clinics and devouring APPLE by the square foot and sharing his cuspidor with a neighbor. For an old man and largely artificial at that. Freeman is extremely lively — in fact, it has been rumored that when he was initiated this fall he got so excited that he had a bilateral Ankle Clonus. We regret that we will not have Freeman with us when we go over there, but good men will be needed here also, and the folks back home who rely on Free- man will be lucky — ask any of Justice John ' s patrons.

He is quiet and unassuming in all things, except in those referring to his former Alma Mater, and in those referring to Obstetrics. It has been said that Claudius wanted to take up grand opera, but having listened to the lec- tures on O. B. during his Junior year, decided that his road to fame lay with his women. When Claudius first came to Richmond from Sampson county, N. O, it took him a long time to become accus- tomed to the buzz and hum of a great metropolis. His sense of safety first has done much to keep his two side-partners from leaving the straight and narrow path. It is safe to say that in the future we can come back to Richmond, and most any day will see Claudius riding up and down Monument Avenue rushing to the aid of his women.

FEW people would suspect that our lazy-going Creepy had been brought up in the rugged mountains of western Virginia. How he managed to keep out of the way of rattlesnakes will always be a puzzle. However, it is possible that he immunized himself with that well-known snake bite cure for which his native hills are famous. Before taking up the study of medi- cine Creepy went to Washington and Lee for several years, then spent a couple of years as a commercial chemist, all of which explains why he became the pet of Drs. Shepherd and Rudd during his Freshman year. At Sheltering Arms Hospital Creepy is the custodian of the whiskey barrel and handy man around the op- erating room. He often lets enthusiasm run away with reason, but so slow is he of foot and mind they often meet on common ground. The great ambition of Gard- ner ' s life is to wear the uniform of Assistant Surgeon in the Navy, and he is near to achievement of that ambition. ALLEN JESSE GOODWIN joined us for the first time this year, having been interne at St. Elizabeth ' s Hospital since the dark ages. He felt that three years at the Old School taught him all he could not learn in a surgical hospital, and he would have remained at St. Elizabeth ' s indefinitely, but Uncle Sam needed him and he needed a diploma to serve Uncle Sam as an officer. So Allen has been with us enough this year to make 80 per cent, attendance and considerably more on grades. Goodwin is quiet and reticent in manner, but particularly effective, especially with the ladies. Some have explained this on his being a divine dancer ; others, on his pleasing personality; while others claim it due to the promiscuous distribution of jewelry for which he is noted. This modest young man craves the life of a sailor, where he can enjoy the thrill of chasing submarines and when ashore bask in the admiration of the girls, strutting in all the glory of a white uniformed naval officer.

GRUSSNER is a victim of circumstances, a fact that we all realized when we learned that he had to get off his O. B. cases with Baker, but being a good sport, he took his assignment without grumbling. Having taken his first year of medicine in New York, Grussner came to Richmond and matriculated in the time-honored and classic halls of the Old School. That was years ago and he was young, which possibly explains why he fell so quickly to the charms of a Virginia girl. When Christmas came he decided to give up his medical studies and take up matrimony. After a honeymoon lasting several years, in which he saw most of America, he and his family drifted back to Richmond. When he went down to the Old School to take up where he left off, Chris told him about the consolida- tion of the Old with the New School and directed him to the office at Twelfth and Clay. That is how Gruss- ner joined us. We are glad he came back when he did, and we feel sure that when he goes back to New York in June another Southern-trained man will add lustre to the Alma Mater, and much coin to his pockets.

HATCHER was born in the lowlands of North Carolina, and from his erect posture one would at first glance judge he had swallowed a ram-rod while tod- dling around the swamps of his native land. But Hatch ascribes this physique to athletics while pitch- ing on Carolina ' s scrub team. On account of his many duties Ma has not been able to mix with the fellows as much as he might have, and this has caused some to describe him as wearing the Oh, Lord, why this weary earth demeanor, while as a matter of fact it is a display of professional dignity. Blondy has won the distinction of being the only man of the class who has yet added a new discovery to the science of medi- cine — the diagnosis of spirochetas by the olfactory center.

J. A. HAWKINS, Jr., otherwise known as Dill picker Hawk. Like the animal whose name he bears, Hawk is a bird of prey, feeding on the dills of un- suspecting and long-suffering Professors. Having gotten preliminary training in nearly all the prep, schools of his native town — Danville — including Commercial Col- lege, Hawk came to Richmond in search of further laurels. At Richmond College he soon put O ' Brien out of the race, and in a short time got his diploma under Dr. Loving in the art of dill-picking. This probably explains his great efficiency while with us. Also, like his avarian namesake, Hawk can see a chicken at great distance, but, possibly due to his great size and the encumbrance of fat, he has great trouble in getting them within his grasp. It was reported last fall that he made a capture; in other words, was married. This proved to be a false alarm, for he is still hunting. LADIES, beware! When this young Beau Brum- mell puts in his appearance hearts go pit-a-pat and maiden dreams begin. This he must accomplish by winning ways and in wearing an ever-present smile, for he is quiet in bearing and bashful under attention. He is at once a student and a philosopher, a happy combination which always insures success. That he will be successful no one can doubt, for after pro- longed association with Bob Bryan and Billy Simpson at Grace Hospital he remains unchanged.

Spurgeon came to us in the fall of 1916, with his co- partners, and thus set an example for all good Wake Forest men. He is loud in his praise for that insti- tution, and well he might be if all men turned out from there are of similar calibre. Spurgeon had been at M. C. V. only a few days when the high grade men of the class became worried, and they have continued to worry ever since. In his Senior year he decided to take up diagnosis as a specialty, but having become proficient in this in only a few months, took up his scalpel and is now known by all as SURGEON Moore.

LATE in September, 1914, a sporty-looking product of the Old North State, wearing nose glasses chained to his ear, came to us with his camera, motorcycle, and acquaintance with Hawkins and Simpson. This was immediately hailed Alex by John Shultz, and so we came to know William Alexander O ' Brien, alias Tech- nique. Before coming to us Alex posed as an en- tomologist, so in order to keep up his reputation as a scientist he procured a microtome, a microscope, and a box of slides, and then began to cultivate an acquaintance with Bernard. During his Sophomore year he rigged up a complete laboratory and held forth in the College Dark Room. Realizing his importance on becoming a Junior, he bought a pair of axis-traction forceps and a medical bag containing all the instruments and drugs necessary for an extensive practice. During the present year he has added to his equipment a typewriter, phono- graph, roller-top desk and a pair of shoes. That ' s right, ho Clinton, N. C.

Having seen Claude Fryar, we are able to judge Sampson county ' s products and are willing to believe Ollie. It is rumored that Ollie tried to take up matrimony, but failed in this and so decided upon medicine as being his best chance to get even with the ladies. Ollie s ' friends have been working on him for three years, but it took the City Home and Dutch Siewers to bring him out. Now he wears a sporty suit, trench model, goes to dances — doesn ' t stag either — and occa- sionally indulges in the movies and supper at Cole ' s. But Ollie ' s social activities do not prevent him from pulling high grades and making brilliant diagnoses. His series of cases stand second to none. If he goes back to the sticks and makes one- fourth as much money as he thinks he will, why in ten years ' time we will have to make an addition to North Carolina ' s list of mil- lionaires. He deserves to do this, and we have no doubt but that he will.

Fleas. IT IS said that the first ripe dill picked by any member of the class, long years ago when we were Freshmen, was picked by Ray Paul while going out to Manchester with Dr. Brodnax. No doubt he obtained valuable knowledge during those pleasant trips. Anyway he became convinced that the proper way to take a quiz is, first, to get a small compend; second, to carry it around for two days previous to the quiz; and, third, to visit with the ladies at T. A. Miller ' s. When a small boy Ray ran away from his nurse and lost his hat. Now the sun was shining brightly at that time. For that reason Dr. Willis always refers to Ray as his shining light. Until his Senior year Ray was constantly seen with Spiegel, but for some reason — the members of the class think it due to Spiegel ' s earnest and ever-present desire to sing — anyhow he decided to seek real men, and now is associated with section III. — Siewers, Wood, Paul. Coi any liquor? ISAAC TAYLOR PETERS, of somewhere in West Virginia, if you please! All news of this young man is strictly censured, and it is well-nigh impossible to obtain any facts as to his past history. His present illness is also rather obscure, but it is confidently ex- pected and hoped that a fully signed M. C. V. diploma will prove a cure for any ailment that may have befallen him during the past four years. Dr. Peters (that ' s what the girls call him) is one of the Memorial boys, and while there he has admirably demonstrated the fact that what Dr. Shepherd doesn ' t know about the laboratory he does. Pete is another who has selected a watery grave in preference to the German soap grease fat, and we all surely wish him bon voyage. • ' ' « roun the mountain, Coralie. ' If, Savannah, Ga.

ONCE upon a time many years ago a little boy in knee pants came to the University College of Medicine and matriculated in Medicine. All went well until one warm fall day the Dean happened to see him and inquired where his mother was. On learning he was unattended by either mother or nurse, the kindly official called the janitor and sent the child home with the admonition to grow some more and come back when he was big enough to carry a box of bones. Such was the beginning of the medical history of Robert H. Phinney, Jr., known in Memorial Hospital as Dr. Phinney, but around College as Bob. The advice of the Dean was well taken, for Bob immediately began to increase his knowledge at John Marshall, and when we met him he had grown much in size, in coarse- ness of voice and personal esteem. In spite of his authoritative manner of speaking and his appetite for chop suey, Phinney is just a youngster with a head full of ideas. Fresh fields await the conqueror in the Navy.

ROLSTON joined us during our Junior year, having put in a couple of years at the Old School before being hit by the ambition to get married and teach school. By way of qualifications he is an ex-pedagogue, a proud father, a good fellow with a host of friends, as evidenced by the fact that he is President of the Student Body. Having taught for several years, he knows how to get a maximum of results with a minimum of effort. This has led to good grades, but at the same time allowed such dissipations as pool, fishing, and frequent visits to the movies. Though he loves work, Rolston is more or less epicurean in tastes, and finds it hard to live in accordance with Hoover ' s war diet. Rolston is booked to serve Uncle Sam in the Army for a while, but his heart will ever be on a little country practice in Virginia, where he can gather his family around him and raise chickens and hoe the garden.

Once when a homesick Freshman looked up and saw John out strolling with his family, he promptly decided that if a man as old as that could study medicine, why he might have a chance. Little did the Freshy suspect that the example before him had been a source of worry to the professors for the past three years. Not to be satisfied with trying to use up all the high grades in college, John has spent much time in teaching night school, coaching in Bacteriology and Chemistry, special laboratory work, fishing, and handling bones. His list of hundreds and cheerfulness have always been a source of inspiration to us all, and we congratu- late ourselves that John cast his lot with us.

THOSE who do not recognize the names of A. B. Siewers and Dutch, or the big, fat, yet graceful, carcass, certainly have heard him mentioned as Sewers. After taking one year ' s work at U. C. M., Dutch decided to branch out and promptly got his B. S. degree from the University of Virginia. In 1915 he returned to M. C. V. and has most diligently applied himself to the study of medicine — except when strolling up Broad Street, when at dances, or when treating his patients at the City Home. Of course, we cannot state definitely just what branch Dutch will specialize in, but from the present indications it will be orthopedic surgery — elevate inner aspect of heel J j-inch and extend ' 2-inch.

BILLY has ever supported and fought for those things he thought to be for the welfare of the school. Many of his ideas will remain long after he has left us. Simpson is one man who can use his cerebrum, cere- bellum and medulla altogether, all at the same time. His conversation is a composite record of the sputter- ings of Bob Bryan and J. Allison Hodges. A former osteologist, he wears a mustache, is always late to class, and is forever bemoaning the ignorance of his instruc- tors and professors. Came called, shoot! BEFORE coming to M. C. V. George was a cap- tain at Fork Union, and that is the reason he is so tall, broad-shouldered, straight and handsome. Leaving strict military training, Snead was somewhat astounded to find that life in a big city is without restrictions, which may be the reason Dr. Dunn called him Doctor five years ago. After his Junior year George took a rest for two winters, and to pass the time away gave skilful attention to the wounded at Du Pont. When it comes to love, to George all seasons are springtime, and being youthful, his fancy lightly turns towards the nurses. Since attending several Senior Osteology clinics, he has walked to and from school and refrained from the movies.

Young Spiegel (nobody doubts but that he is young) is noted for his many witty remarks, and the one by which he will never be forgotten is: Ray, gimme a cigarette. As an interne at Memorial Spigel has greatly enlarged his professional acquaintance, and has been a source of worry and comfort to respective mem- bers of that institution.

LITTLE did the country-store loafers of Gwaltney think that when little Jimmy Terrell left for the city he would ever return a celebrity, but such is his future, and the more we see and hear him the firmer are we c onvinced. Lefty Terrell is always conspicuous at roll call by his high tenor here, but, like most small things, though he comes with a rush, he drifts quietly out, whither and why no one knows. After hearing lectures on O. B. and doing forceps and extraction on the manakin during his Junior year, Gip decided that he had found the field of his greatest usefulness, and the time spent with his women on outside duty further convinced him, so he clinched the matter by getting a pair of glasses exactly like Dr. Baughman ' s. We cannot say why all the girls seem to flock to Doctor Terrell, but one thing is sure: he is seldom seen on Broad Street that he hasn ' t a girl hanging on one arm and a yesterday ' s newspaper in the other hand. We feel sure that when he telegraphs home in June there will be much rejoic ing in Gwaltney. Here!

WESTCOTT is one of the few men in class who has plod through four years at M. C. V. without ac- quiring a nickname. This may be attributed to the austere and dignified manner in which he conducts him- self. His manner alone tends to create a maximum amount of fear in the minds of those with whom he comes in contact; especially is this true of the poor nurses at Memorial Hospital. With all of his virgin simplicity this young lad, in company with a blond- headed room-mate, is rather a chronic with the gentler sex, and it is understood that he has interest (not patients) at more than one Richmond hospital. Heywood leaves us for the navy, and since we no longer believe in mermaids, we expect for him success and advancement in that branch of service.

LESTER WOOD, that modest little caliope from Stamford, Conn., is the subject of this article, also the object, and if you give him a chance he will also be the verb. Wood is strong for action and speed, char- acteristics which he imported and seems unable to lose. Unable to carry on his heavy correspondence by hand, during the middle of the session he acquired a type- writer, with which he entertains the inmates of Pine Camp every day at midnight to the tune of Sweet Emmalina, My Gal. Wood came South for many reasons, and upon taking up his internship at Pine Camp was taken for one of them. It is said that soon after he arrived one of the nurses asked the Superintendent if Wood were a Jew name. Less, known to storeroom Phillips as Bull, has very bad eyes, and once in Murphy ' s Hotel mistook a cat for a cuspidor and could not understand why it was necessary to pursue the blooming thing.

(Anno Broady) in Applied Anatomy Class, at ex- actly two minutes to one o ' clock, when Dr. Broadnax was saying, Gentlemen, you had better be quiet because I am going to hold you until I finish this lecture. The purpose of this history is to make others see us as we see ourselves. We feel that if we suc- ceed in giving you one glimpse of our (im) mortal greatness, that this will not have been in vain. Selah. If introducing to you a character like A. D. Ownbey, M. D., causes you to lose all respect for the profession, don ' t blame us for it. At any rate, he almost has the proper professional air. We will now take a look at the class collectively and individually, macroscopic- ally and microscopically, religiously and co-educationally. Let us view the class with an unbiased mind admitting our weak points. Two of these are Tar Heel Smith and Kipling Bell; the first, because he came to us from down home, and the latter, because he will read too much Kipling, and think it applies to medicine. We do not want you to hold them against us. When one views the class as a body, for instance, as it sits in Principles of Surgery, the most conspicuous things are first, the absence of a large number, and secondly, the good looks of those present. (The writer takes for granted that Mitchell, Lyerly and West are absent.) But coming now to the individual units of our class, we shall begin with Billy Metchinikoff Green and go up. We begin with him because he is so small we are afraid he will get lost in the shuffle if we don ' t. Yet we can always locate him by his purple Turkish Towel shirt. I now turn from my natural order to dispose of Chilton, Sanders and Bray. I do this to get them off my mind. They are all married and naturally we are afraid to say more. Some one asked me, Who is that guy over there wearing that khaki colored sweater? I was hoping I could get by without having to tell about him. That is Classical Curtis, the great authority on derivations. He just cannot be downed, and insists on wearing that sweater hind parts before and attempting to hold a guinea pig up by his tail until his eyes drop out. 73 s r When speaking of Curtis I need must think of his mortal enemy, Dick Fowlkes. Now there is a man for you. He gets everything he wants easier than any one else, but he never yet has gotten a valentine. Can ' t Hunter McGuire help him out? He wants one badly. I forgot, Hunter asked me to leave him out, but how can one omit the Best Student, Sunday School Teacher, and most Industrious. Oh, but he is a paradox. Let me turn aside to apologize for the presence of Tom Sheridan and Harry Huston in the class. The fact is they got in before we knew it. They room to- gether, they sleep together, they eat together, but they cannot walk together. Tom says Harry mighty near walks him to death — he has some stride. That reminds me, we have Tom, Dick and Harry in our class all the time. Dick says the other two are pretty good fellows for damned Yankees. Please don ' t let me forget our unworthy president. We thought when we elected Frank McCracken Leech we had a good, steady man, but contrary to his former reputation he has gotten into the habit of going to Stumpf ' s with Rush Gardner. We might be able to stand for Air Rifle Cannon, if, as Dr. Budd says, it were not for his Pedigree. Another thing, he will not stop making the ladies love him. As for Spuds Edmonds, all we can say is that he mighty near went crazy this winter for the cold weather would ruin the crop of spuds he had packed away on Eastern Shore. Well, well, here is Napoleon Kline. You know, he thinks he has that bold profile of the famous Frenchman. Kline and Dick Fowlkes are running a race to see which one can kill the most dogs by giving too much ether. At the present writing Kline is ahead, he has killed them two to one. The reason it is not three is that Dr. Haskell arrived in time to save the last. We must not fail to mention two members of Group No. 1 — Hinchman and Shawver. Please do not think they are alike. One always comes easy-like, doesn ' t say much and does his bit — that is Shawver; the other, Hinchman, has never been seen when he wasn ' t in a hurry, even to tell Dr. Haskell the pathway of descending degeneration in the cord. Look out, here comes Turkey Moorman. As usual, he is late. Please don ' t tell him I said that, nor mention the fact that Curtis said he was like a Cow ' s Tail. Anyhow he was on time to join the class on the first day, and Curtis was ten days late. Whew, we mighty near missed having him! But time ' s cycle moves on. Yesterday, we were Freshmen; to-day, we are Sophomores; to-morrow — ah, to-morrow, there will be no more Pharmacology, we hope. 74 7 FRE5HMAM MEDICAL 76 T jf restjman Jflctical Class olI O. O.

Many and varied have been our individual experi- ences during our academic life, and they are revered; but that is now of the past and as we have naturally loved the old, so we are learning to love the new. Though many of us had dreamed of minute micro-organisms and dissecting halls, none had ever pictured those inconceivable, parasitic, virulent little bugs equal to Scorpions and more powerful than Elephants. Little had we thought of the dissecting hall with its wierd, Odiferous, Pickled, consumptive, Historic Coons as we have since learned them. But alas, we have not only seen the little germs with the Fangs of which we have been told, but have really learned to cultivate them ourselves and fully thank our Stars and Dr. Miller for Immunity. Despite the fact that we are having a continuous struggle in the dissecting hall, under the excellent leadership of Dr. Christian and Dr. Broadnax we believe that we are gradually grasping the fundamental points of anatomy. We have already won the compliment that We are at M. C. V. for business and have stood the most satisfactory Practicals of any class in the history of Dr. Christian ' s career. All is not drudgery, however, in the dissecting hall; for be it said that this class is not without its Zu Zu, alias Azevedo, who Quibbles and Quabbles not unlike a sick crow on a rainy day in what he terms good Portuguese; and dances with a series of Shuffulations and Contarations that would be envied by the dieties of Hawaii on the day of an earthquake. Then, too, there is a Strat- ford, who contributes to the mirthful amusement, with a voice, when it is inspired by those exposed parts of preserved Coons throws Caruso into absolute obliteration. Finally, Dr. Broadnax walks in with that ever-memorable ditty, I ' ll have to mark you absent if you ' re not at your tables when the roll is called. Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, Brazil and Porto Rico furnish the elements of our throng of twenty-eight. We are just beginning a long endeavor; our history is before us; and let our determination be: every man at M. C. V. next year and every one a Sophomore. Though our discouragements are many, let us realize that our strength grows out of our weakness; that the indignation which arms itself with secret forces does not awaken until we are pricked and stung and sorely assailed. Let every effort be for our goal and success will live her timely course as our unfailing reward. 79 a: P HIS FIRST VISIT BEDSIDE CLINIC 80 y atfje fjpsfician ' S draper Another day is ended, Great Physician, A day wherein too little has been done, Too little known, too little gained for Thee.

S. -r Relationship of tfte Alumni to tfje College FEEL a diffidence at undertaking to comply with the request of your Editor to write on the subject assigned me because of my own poor efforts as your president during the past year. The war has brought to all of us so many problems which have made demands upon our time and energies that we have been compelled to neg- lect other matters even though of great importance. I think one of the lessons we are all learning now as a result of the war is our close dependence upon each other — that no man lives unto himself. We are all bound together in a common brotherhood fighting the great war that Freedom and Democracy may not perish from the earth. And to no other profession has the call to service sounded more imperiously, or has been responded to more splendidly than to the medical profession. Our ranks have been decimated in supplying the needs of the army, and perhaps none of the other pro- fessional schools have suffered such losses from among their faculties and student bodies as have the medical schools. If we are to supply the doctors needed for civil and military demands some- thing must be done at once for the medical colleges or many of them will be faced with the alternative of closing their doors. At such a crisis the colleges are turning to the alumni not only for substantial material support, but for that moral support and council they have a right to expect from the man who has been trained and sent out from their doors. Individual effort alone is not sufficient for the needs of the hour. There must be efficient organi- zation if the great potential force of the alumni is to be utilized efficiently. In describing The Relationship of the Alumni to the College, I want to say in the first place, that alumni associations are merely the machinery for corralling individual effort and converting it into group effort in behalf of the institution. They increase the efficiency of the individual by bringing him into closer personal relation with his fellow-alumni and into closer contact with the needs and ideals of the institution. They become an indispensably vital force in the life of the institution, if they bring to the institution a point of contact with the force of which the alumni 83 v are a part; and if they interpret correctly to the world the mission and the ideals of their Alma Mater. The alumni association should be the clearing-house for all col- lege and alumni activities. It should be the central point of attack for every college and alumni problem affecting the administration of the institution. The members are not only sympathetic with the student problems and points of view, but they are sufficiently far enough removed from the lecture halls to have a different perspective and are thus better fitted to act as unbiased counsellors and to furnish that advice and guidance which may be demanded. Mr. H. S. Warwick, in describing the relation of the alumni to the college, pertinently says we must impress upon our alumni that they themselves must be representative men. They must stand for right ideals and right action. He is right. If we don ' t represent the college we misrepresent it! Next, I want to say that we are all debtors to our Alma Mater. When we pay our tuition we have scarcely paid a portion of the value received. Only a large endowment, a State gratuity or other benefaction, and often the unpaid efforts of a devoted faculty make it possible for the institution to give the educational advan- tages each student receives. For this reason, if for no other, the college has a claim upon each alumnus, and he should feel the obligation to render his Alma Mater the most efficient ser- vice of which he is capable. This can be accomplished in many ways: A word fitly spoken to a prospec- tive medical student; a relation of the claims of the school for more liberal State appropriations, and there never was a time when the needs of medical schools were greater. The war has not only doubled the cost of running expenses, but it has depleted the ranks of the teaching corps, and reduced the number of candidates for the medical degrees, and so curtailed the means of many of the schools as to make their very future existence problematical. Again the association can render the college a service by inducing the alumni to visit the college, not only on set occasions, but whenever they have an opportunity to do so. Many of the older alumni have not kept informed about the splendid medical school we have built up in Richmond within the last few years. We have a physical equipment in the way of buildings and laboratories that does credit to the State, and a teaching staff that all of us are proud of. Just such information as he would gain by a visit to the college would make an enthusiastic booster out of the most indifferent alumnus. Finally, I want to refer again to what I said before the association last year. If the alumni are to render the college the highest service of which they are capable they should have some share in the administration of the affairs of the college. This recognition is being granted in a large number of the colleges throughout the country. Such recognition cannot be granted to us without a change in the charter, but I believe it would be possible and practicable for our association to have an alumni council, which would act in an advisory capacity and as such prove its worth to the college. We are glad to announce in this connection that at the last annual meeting of the Board of Visitors in June recognition of the alumni as a factor in the growth and welfare of the institution was accorded, and a motion prevailed inviting the president of the association to sit with the Board of Visitors at all subsequent annual meetings of that body.

In 1913, when the University College of Medicine and the Medical College of Virginia consolidated, the Dental Department made another step forward. Since that date the advance of the school has been marked, and it enjoys at the present time a well earned reputation for efficiency and thorough- ness in the work of dental education. The school is a member of the National Association of Dental Faculties and of the American Institute of Dental Teachers, and co-operates with them in all efforts to place dentistry upon a high plane. The large Faculty consists of teachers specially trained in their department of work. Too much praise cannot be given to Dr. J. A. C. Hoggan, Chairman of the School, for the able manner in which he has directed the management of the Dental Department. The school now has four full-time instructors, who are at College throughout the day and are in close teaching relation with every student. Great improvements have been made in the Infirmary equipment, and separate dental laboratories — for Seniors, Juniors and Freshmen — have been provided. Physiological and Pathological laboratories have also recently been added, Roentgenology and Physical Diagnosis are among the new subjects now being taught. The quarterly report to the parent is a new feature, and is serving a useful pur- pose. It brings the Faculty, parent, and student in closer contact with each other, and seems to unite more completely their efforts to bring about the one common end, viz. : the education of the student. We would like to pay a special tribute to Dr. R. R. Brymes, the Superin- tendent of the Dental School, for the m any improvements that have been brought about in the last three years through his direct effort. The introduction of the prin- ciples of Black ' s Operative Dentistry and the present very excellent system for grading and accounting in the infirmaries and laboratories are two outstanding features to his credit and are an inestimable asset to the College. p The work of the student is now graded on a point basis in the infirmaries, and, in all his work, whether practical or technical, the various stages of construction are examined and passed upon by an instructor. From the present method of keeping infirmary records, it is possible to obtain the history of any case under treatment. A new standard of discipline has been established, whereby the student as well as the school, is greatly benefited. Each student tries to conduct himself just as he hopes to do in his own private office. Under these improved conditions the clinical practice has been rapidly growing. During the session of 191 5- ' 16, prior to which no records were kept, seven thousand four hundred and thirty (7,430) patients were treated, and during 191 6- ' I 7, eight thousand seven hundred and eighty-one (8,781) patients were treated. This repre- sents an increase of over eighteen (18 ' y ) per cent, compared with the previous year. From the figures to date the present session bids fair to break all previous records.

Josephus shouldn ' t have been, because he was too much inclined the other way. The present class is the most renowned that the Medical College has ever had the honor of graduating. We have stood the heat of the day, because we matriculated at the turning point of the college cur- riculum. We have been the experimental material since we began the study of dentistry. This is the only class in the history of this institution which undertook a special course in the study of art. We were the first to be required to carve artificial teeth in plaster of paris and ivory, and prepare cavities in the same with the purpose of thoroughly familiarizing ourselves with dental anatomy and cavity prepartion before entering upon the real work of operat- ing on living tissue. The days have been crowded with study hours, tests, laboratory exercises, and infirmary practice; but through it all we have worked with a will and rejoiced when we passed. We owe the credit for the vast improvement in the study of dentistry in this college to the advent of the members of our present Faculty, and we are thankful to them for all they have done to teach us modern dentistry. We have men in our class who represent every phase of College life. The two fraternities Psi Omega and Xi Psi Phi, composed of good men, have always been free to assist a fellow student though he may not have been a member of either of these organizations. We have some good non-frat men, who, without a doubt, will be successful dentists because their personalities are very appealing to their patients. You can always tell when ReMine has a good-looking lady patient by the way he dolls up for the Infirmary, but when it comes to picking dills at the lec- tures, Snuffer is right there with the chalk. Since extraction of teeth is an important 95 v T 3 operation and should be carefully carried out, Holhday should specialize. He anaesthetizes his patients one afternoon and extracts the tooth on the following morning. Exodontia will be successfully demonstrated in spite of the war since Svetlik has invented nifnof to take the place of novocain. Now, brothers, my task is almost done. Of course it is impossible to note all that each one has done — all of our successes and failures. We have passed with honor through the fiery furnace of quizzes, making our Infirmary requirements and final examinations. What we cannot do remains to be seen. We have pruned our wings for flight, and we pass out of these halls, not as the finished product, but as students ready to study and grapple with the intrinsic problems of the dental profession. Now as a parting word: Let us be what dentists should be — professional and not commercial practitioners. Let us have in view perfection as a final end. Then we may be worthy students and an honor to our profession. Historian. % 0 -9-a£cyr .

This pulling, which had its birth in the beautiful West Virginia valley, seemed to live again last summer when Max visited one of the State institutions and extracted several thousand teeth. He would make us think the fair sex concerns him not, but that contented smile which covers his map when he reads certain pink-papered letters betrays him.

You see, said Swetlik, there was a man down there who was a Schoonmaker by trade. He was also a Sawyer and a Carpenter.

Forty- one embryo dentists matriculated and seemed very eager to get to work, especially in the Infirmary, where they could keep their eyes on the pretty patients. This class, although the largest dental class that ever attended M. C. V., was lacking eleven of its Freshman members who were doing their bit in the service of Uncle Sam. But Congress, profiting by the lesson learned by the European nations that future dentists would render a greater service to their country and humanity by continuing the study of their chosen pro- fession, passed a bill allowing dental students to remain in school for the duration of their college course. Seven members of our Class of 191 6- ' 17 returned as a result of this bill. Once again united we started to work in earnest, and as a result, we have been hailed as the best dental class that ever represented M. C. V. Sweet memories of the Anatomy Hall still linger with us, as we watch the Freshmen pondering over the stiffs preparatory to taking those practicals. We still long for the opportunity to make and examine some more very simple slides for Dr. Lipscomb. Many of us have already invented dental appliances, modes of extraction and methods of operation that will cause our names to be placed in the history of the progress of dentistry for ages to come.

BRISTOW Honor Council lid ■x z 3 Jf regf)tnan ffiental Claste history N THE 18th of September, 1917, the Class of ' 21 began its re- markable career at the Medical College of Virginia. We were a little timid at first, but it did not take us long to become accustomed to our surroundings. In the past it has been a three year course, but as the world has awakened to the importance of dentistry as a science, the course has been lengthened to four years. So, beginning with the session of 191 7- ' 18, it requires four years to receive the D. D. S. degree. There were about twenty-five mem- bers in our class when we started, which is the smallest class that has attended the college in years, but just think of the disadvantages that have befallen us on account of the war. Over half of our class is within the draft age, so when they matricu- lated they did not know whether they were going to complete their course. This very consideration undoubtedly served to deter many who would otherwise have matriculated in dentistry. After entering upon the course, however, Congress passed an act which enabled all bona fide dental students to join the Medical Reserve Corps and thereby continue their course until their services are needed. This, we hope, will not be before we finish our course. Our first experience was in the Dental Laboratory, where we took impressions of each others mouths in plaster of paris. I don ' t mean to exaggerate, but I am sure we used a barrel of plaster and I don ' t think any of us will forget the gummy time we had. Everything went along smoothly until we were to go to Room 31 1, which we knew from heresay was the Anatomy Hall. We all started with a smile on our faces, but as we opened the door it vanished. There were a few who were ready to quit there and then, but after a little encouragement we all went in and took seats, none of us feeling what you would term fine. We had been seated only a few minutes when an elderly gentleman came in smiling, and whom did we find him to be but Dr. Christian, our Anatomy Professor. He got us started on the bones of the upper extremity, which were given to us in a box to be taken to our room. We have no record of how many spent that night with head covered fear- ing to see the bones in those boxes, assemble themselves and march forth to point an accusing finger. After we had completed Osteology, we started to dissecting 127 muscles. Thus we dealt in meat for weeks for Uncle Sam, while the balance of the country were observing meatless Tuesdays. About the middle of November we held our first class meeting for the purpose of electing officers. Knowing that the best goods come in the smallest packages, we elected the midget of the class to lead us, and he did not de-Cline. When the College undertook to raise its part of the $1,000,000.00 College Y. M. C. A. War Work Fund, our class responded liberally. Though we are but few have two aims in view; the first: To make our marks in life ; the second: To always uphold by word and action the dignity of the Medical College of Virginia. Historian. P 128 7 ffl. C. Va art in tfje W at conflict, unparalleled in history, is waging: the whole world has been precipitated in the greatest war of all ages. Millions of men are fighting — more millions of people are suffering, and coun- tries that once were wont to bask in the sunshine of peace and freedom are being devastated, international laws and honor of nations have been violated and — the end is not yet in sight. One Germany, whose very name is now symbolic of a cauldron of iniquity, led and guided by a veritable devil — the Kaiser — ably assisted by his devilish imps — the Crown Prince and Von Hindenburg — has plunged Europe into a veritable hell. The dream of Napoleon, the ultimate end and goal of Caesar, the ambition of Alexander the Great, are but fancies when compared with the motive of the hellish, fiendish Hohenzollern who seeks world ' s authority in the twentieth century. He aims to cut down the flowers of democracy that have been planted amid a thousand conflicts, watered and nourished by the sacrifice of countless lives, and whose bloom emits the sweet fragrance of democracy so pleasant to us. Our cherished principle, but recently won when compared with the world ' s history, is at stake. It was won for us by our noble ancestors and given us to defend and uphold. The defense of this principle is now being made and all America is rallying, and shoulder to shoulder with our aillied brothers, France, England, Belgium and Italy our gallant boys are marching, God grant, to victory — a victory that means world ' s democracy and that the last great war will have been fought. Issuing from the conflict now waging, comes the cry of the maimed, the dying and the suffering — the cry for help and relief from the pangs of pain. The doctor, the physician, the healer is sought an d with those appealing eyes the wounded greet the doctor for in him they place their hope and confidence. The call for medical men has been heard: the response is being made all over America. Medical colleges are sacrificing their faculties and the rural districts have given up in many instances their good old country doctors. The Medical College of Virginia is, indeed, playing her part. Consider, to date, nearly one hundred physicians from our city have gone into army service, and 129 N in nearly every case, the doctor is either a member of the Faculty of our College or is a graduate of our noble institution. Too great tribute cannot be paid to Dr. Stuart McGuire, Dean of the Medical College of Virginia, and one of the best known of Southern surgeons. Major McGuire, upon whom Richmond turns her eyes with pride and rightly — this noble son of the distinguished surgeon of the Southern Army, the late Dr. Hunter Holmes McGuire — has organized and is director of the Base Hospital No. 45, Medical College of Virginia, which unit is now on duty at Camp Lee, anticipating each day to go across to care for the wounded allies. The Base Hospital Unit is composed for the greatest part of Faculty members of the Medical College of Virginia, and it is with the greatest degree of pride and joy that we here record the names of the men whose devotion to duty caused them to make the sacrifice incident to leaving their homes.

' s second act — The American Red Cross Ambulance Com- pany, No. 46, formed under the direction of Capt. C. H. Lewis, of the Faculty of the Medical College of Virginia. Directors of the Ambulance Company are: Lieut. O. C. Brunk, Lieut. G. S. Hurt, Lieut. R. A. Moore and Lieut. J. J. Hulcher, all of whom are either graduates or members of the Faculty of our institution. M. C. V. ' s third act — by subscription from students and Faculty sufficient funds were raised to give two thousand dollars to the support of the Army Y. M. C. A. work and to send an ambulance L, Ami des Blesses, into the war zone. This activity on the part of the students reflects a great deal of credit on their patriotism and sense of duty. Space does not permit the mentioning of the names represented by our service flag, which bears nearly three hundred stars. Each star, a Faculty member or a son of M. C. V., who has signified his intention to be ready and willing to sacrifice that the ideals for which our nation and our allies are struggling may be upheld. We feel keenly the loss of our Faculty members — some fifty in number — but the consolation is ours that the chain of service, fifty links strong, has been forged for the service of humanity, democracy, and peace. The Alumni, two hundred and fifty strong, have entered the service, and the graduating Class of ' 18 will swell the number to nearly three hundred. M. C. V. is playing well her part and will meet every demand that our Govern- ment makes, for our College stands for service — service for humanity ' s sake and service for service ' s sake.

MONROE, Jr Honor Council Representative 138 ■ 7 Senior iPfjarwatp Class J istorp HERMAN told the truth when he said that war was the first cousin to the furnace. Behold, our ranks, and believe! At the beginning of the session of 1916-1917, forty-six names were inscribed upon the roll of embryonic pill rollers, but at the time when the cocoon is cracked, and the Seniors of Pharmacy, a la Rudd, are developed, only sixteen names embellish the sheepskins. During the past session, G. O. Heniford and R. T. Morrissette have joined the ranks, and by most of the remainder, graduation alone is awaited before they also will join the service of Uncle Sam. Hie year has not been uneventful, for study and teaching have been intensive with the few, rather than extensive as heretofore. Neither students nor Faculty can be called slackers, for there have been no intermissions, and to those who fight the foe, may this come as good news, for we have but redoubled our efforts to become more efficient in filling places vacated at home and open at the front. Furthermore, we have not been idle otherwise. It is with the greatest pleasure that this class feels it has been instrumental in getting the past session of the Legis- lature to enact a bill requiring all those who would be licensed pharmacists within the State of Virginia, be graduates of a recognized School of Pharmacy. It is not a selfish endeavor on our parts in helping get this done, but an honest effort to have Pharmacy, as a profession, recognized more widely for its worth, and but for the attainment of a higher ideal for the profession. No doubt, history does repeat, yet it is always in a different manner, and here it has done so as follows in the list of class officers: E. A. Brugh, President; T. W. Sale, Vice-President; J. L.

AFTER working with the druggists in the north- western and central sections of Virginia for several years, and getting their ideas of the drug business, Argie decided to get the educational side of Phar- macy, joining us within the walls of our Medical Col- lege of Virginia, September 18, 1916. He has proven himself to be a gentleman, ambitious and good student, and has been successful in taking both the assistant and full registered papers since he entered. Argie is very popular among the fair sex, and we find his greatest weakness is that he sometimes forgets that the last car leaves for Broad Street at 12 o ' clock. He has made many friends, is well liked by his classmates and all those who know him, and by his bright looks we can tell in the future he is bound to be successful. SHOULD our country ever need another Declara- tion of Independence whom could we call up but Ashby? His stern, yet noble, nature has won for him the hearts and esteem of the underclass men as well as his classmates — yes, even so far as the fairer sex. While his lazy room-mate, Charlie, is using the mid- night hour for sleep, Ashby will be found preparing for the following day. Chemistry flows from his mouth as from the lips of Rudd himself, but when the whole point is lost, he invariably falls back upon the subject Old Botetourt. 140 Portsmouth Zela Delta Chi rookie A sailor boy I ' ll be Age, 22; height, 5 ft. 10J 2 in.; Portsmouth High School; Portsmouth Business College, Graduate, ' 15.

ALLEN came into our midst two years ago from the land of Sea Food and Fair Women. This popu- lar young man is better known to his classmates as Rookie, possessing a personality that has won for him many friends while in College, and has made him well liked by all of his school associates. Rookie simply walked away with the State Board last January, and his greatest ambition is to own a swell pill shop ' in the land by the sea. When Uncle Sam called for volunteers Rookie was one of the first of the class of 1918 to offer his services and enlisted in the Naval Reserves. We wish him all kinds of success for his future life, and hope he will succeed in rolling a pill that the Kaiser will not be able to swallow. JEFF, better known among his classmates as ' Cot- ton, decided in the year 1916 to quit potato raising on the Eastern Shore and embark upon a hard and peril- ous career as a pill roller. We are sorry somewhat that Cotton should have chosen such an unrecognired profession, but, nevertheless, are pleased that he has been one of us for the past two years. Ed, as we also call him, has an enviable scholastic record. He has been a steady, diligent student, stands at the top of the ladder in his studies, and his popularity among his classmates is not excelled by anyone. In his career as a student at the Medical College of Virginia we can unhesitatingly say he has never lost the point ' in Chemistry, and because of his great imaginative ability we expect to see his Pharmacognosy studied under the microscope in the future. When Cotton first came among us he knew nothing of the gentle art of shaking the foot, but, on with the dance, we can only smile, and Vernon Castle in his palmiest days could not now excel him in any of the finer points of this art. We admire him for it, and beg of him never to forget his grace. All luck to you, Cotton. 141 Tip Top Zeta Delta Chi tub Horn firm the foundation Age, 22; height. 5 ft. 8 in.; Wittens Mill High School; X-RaY Representative, ' 1 7- ' 18; Pharmaceutical Asso- PoLKTON, N.

LISTEN, dear friends, if you wish to hear, not a few words of Paul Revere, but a little about our good friend Walt, or better known to us as Tub. Judging him by his broad shoulders and healthy looks we can at once see that he has come to us from a place where the air is both pure and fresh, so after a diligent search we find that he comes to us from the highest point on the map — known as Tip Top. Tub is an incessant worker and has won the reputation of being one of the most industrious students of his class. His melodious voice around the college has caused more nervous shocks than the most delicate operation. His greatest weakness is that he cannot get up in the morning in time for breakfast. He is also a great politician, and loves to argue, especially upon such sub- jects as the meaning of the letters, K. C, or that Argie is the sickest. He is liked by all who know him and has won for himself many friends since being at the Medical College of Virginia, of whom all are wishing him the very best of future success. TWO years ago, through the carelessness of someone, the gate between North Carolina and Virginia was left open, and this is what drifted into our family circle. Jeff is a constant worker, a great believer in pre- paredness, and never fails to take advantage of an op- portunity to bring down a few berries. Though often discouraged, this pink-headed Carolinian has worked consistently and hard throughout his years here, and now he reaps his just compensation. He tells us he will depart in June for the land of his heart ' s desire, where he says the sunshine of Carolina is patiently waiting. We know his future work will reflect honor to his chosen profession. However, it has long since been de- cided that this Carolinian missed his calling when he chose Pharmacy, for all who have attended the Phar- maceutical Association gave him the name Patrick Henry, which he justly deserves, as he is a most able speaker, lending both dignity and eloquence. In Y. M. C. A. work he has been exceedingly active, but never has he neglected to prepare for a standing engagement which he has with Mr. Rudd every Monday afternoon from 3 to 4 o ' clock. 142 t O ZLC - f, Spartanburg, S.

With a smile as broad as the diameter of his corpuscular frame, he will make a pronounced orna- ment for one of our future apothecaries. On the other hand, our glass manufacturing industry may well rejoice, for in him it will not lack business. It will beyond all doubt enjoy tremendous prosperity and thrive luxuriantly during our friend ' s pharmaceutical career. But in the days to come our reflections on college days will be materially brightened by memories of one who added so greatly to the fun of past school life. A good student, a good chum and a fair face we rarely see; But this one in general possesses all three. One whose theory does not exceed All that he ' s capable of executing with speed; No matter if at an exam, or at a quiz. He ' s first to leave with the speed of a tin liz.

After spending several successful years at Bridgewater College, he came to us as one of the most capable men we have, filled with the ambition to become a phar- macist. Kay has proven himself a faithful comrade, a perfect gentleman, and a phenomenal student. His popularity may be equaled but not excelled by that of any other member of the class. You can judge from his looks that he is a regular ladies ' man. We notice that he has a weakness for the Corley Company and for Floyd Avenue. He loves to spend his pastime in what he terms shaking the nasty foot. He has made many friends since being at M. C. V., both male and female, and we can say his greatest faculty is making friends, and his reserve power enables him to hold them. He is a good fellow, loved by his class, and his future is sure to be a successful one. Bluefield, W. Va. Zela Delta Chi bill Oh! lei the wild world wag as it will, I ' ll be gay and happy still.

THIS good-looking blonde, better known as Bill, comes to us from the land of anthracite and bituminous. After spending two years at Augusta Military Academy, he decided to cast his lot with the pill rollers. Bill hit the fall Board a natural in January, which goes to show that he has become very efficient along this line. You can judge from his looks that he is a ladies ' man, and you can usually find him on Tuesday nights at the Corley Company ' s swinging calico. Laughs are very common in our class, and about seventy-five per cent, of them are caused by his witty remarks or trying to convince Jake or Bev that they have lost the point. As might be expected, Bill is popular among the students, and each member of the class wishes him a successful career in the practice of his chosen profession.

Here ' s hoping that he will be as successful in the future as he has been in the past. THIS bow-legged lad, after having spent two years at Hampden-Sidney College, decided to cast his lot with the pill rollers, and so we discovered him in our midst at the beginning, two years ago. Witt hails from the fair land of Rockingham, which he in- forms us is the original garden spot of the world. He has been a diligent, exceptionally good student, and in addition to his regular prescribed work has found time to devote to athletics, being one of the few to receive his Monogram in baseball last year. Witt is the prince of good fellows, always wearing a pleasant smile, and always eager to extend a helping hand to his fellow students. A mind quick to grasp. an excellent student, a clean-cut personality, a man of sterling integrity, and a gentleman through and through, assures him untold success in his chosen profession. His virtues many, his faults few, he commands respect from every man. 145 Richmond They sal). What do they say? Lei them say. Age, 25; height, 5 ft. 10 in.; John Marshall High School. ROSENTHAL, better known as Military from his objections to any kind of fighting, is very much liked by the class and very much respected for his ability to ask good questions. Leo, although some- times lacking the necessary energy, occasionally uses his brain to the utmost. He is known for his ability to concentrate and believes in the motto, Slow but sure. His pleasure seems to be walking Broad Street with his hands behind his back. With any new cry of war extra he stops and looks. If there are signs of the war stopping, we see a smile come over his face, but we all want to be away if there are signs of longer war. If the Kaiser could be killed by a look, the war would be over. Leaving his little peculiarities out, we can all say that Leo was respected and liked by all whom he came in contact with. Fredericksburg Zeia Delia Chi society It ' s a fact Age, 23; height, 5 ft.

WIRT, alias Society, is the pride of Grace Street. The R., F. and P. on its daily run to Richmond dropped this lad into our midst during the fall of 1916. Society, coming from a small town, is awed with the sight of our city, and finds it a pleasant pastime to gaze into the windows of the millinery establishments while parading down Broad Street. Although he is a ladies ' man, it has long been our desire to ascertain why he is accompanied or chaperoned by Walt ' when out with the ladies. Wirt has a pleasing personality that has won for him lasting friends and several college honors. Although very good at athletics, he decided pill-rolling was his sole ambition, and therefore he came to be one of them. He contemplates going back to his old home and demand recognition as a pill- juggling Pharmacist.

V. is opened and here is this finished product from Cape Charles. Gliding through his Junior year with all the graceful- ness of his two hundred and twenty pounds, he is back with us, bringing an unlimited supply of good nature and fun, and always ready to give or take a joke. He has won popularity by being a true friend to every- body. His chief ambitions are to beat Brugh in Phar- macy, pass his Chemistry, and beat himself up a guy. Although not overzealous for work, Charlie sometimes becomes really sincere and does an abnormal amount of it in a short length of time. With the few qualities which we have enumerated heretofore, and the many which he holds in reserve, we predict a great future for him as a boss of pill-rollers. Here ' s a man who never drinks, Nor smokes, nor chews, nor swears; Who never grumbles and never flirts, And shuns all sinful snares. EUGENE, better known to his classmates as Windy, came into our midst in the fall of 1916. Why he received this cognomen we cannot understand, for he is quiet, steady, studious and clean in all his daily tasks. These things have won for him a staunch friendship among his classmates, and this is greater than all the honors our college could bestow upon him. He has made a big success of his course, and we regret to see the close of this year, because we know that one of our best students will go out to face the battle of life, and such a battle this is. But why should we hesitate when we know what a brilliant future awaits him. Windy, contrary to the average college man, is not a lion among the ladies, but whenever he steps into their midst it is a case of Stop — Look — Listen. We hesitate to tell this man au revoir, but know that Burlington, N. C, has a strong hold upon him, and that the laity needs him more than we. 147 p Senior Jjarmacp (Ojaractertsticsi HE Senior Pharmacy Class has a record! The Faculty has so agreed, and we accept the decision. The members are smart — in some ways ! They are studious — but not over their books ! They work hard — if it is for their own pleasure ! They are easy to get along with — if everything goes their way! They are accommodating — if it is to their own advantage! They are good looking — if you cannot see their faces! They have good eyesight — but not for drugs or bacteria! They have a sense of touch — and they do it full credit! They ask good questions — if they could only answer some! They are good — should they be asleep! They never swear nor smoke — if Rudd is near about! And, lastly, they believe in Co-operation ! ! 148 ■x Mentor ipjarmacp Class honors Medical College of Virginia, June, 1918. Dear Reader: As this is to be our last appearance in The X-Ray, we wish to present for your criticism, and we earnestly hope, your approval, the Class Honors that have been so carefully and thoughtfully bestowed upon us. As you doubtless know, the first impression seldom stays with one. So after two years of intimate association, persistent and diligent summarizing of the facts obtainable, we list the following for your entertainment: First in order, we have Argenbright appearing in the roll of the best techni- cian, followed by Brugh, who has no opponent in his race for the tightest. Next we see a classmate who never appears in public with the same fair one twice, so we decided on Cross as the greatest ladies ' man. For two years Edmonds has maintained a box at the Bijou, so we find him the biggest movie fiend. Now we approach a stalwart, broad shouldered man known the school over for his scissors hold, and lo, we have a conqueror for Stecher in Gillespie, whom we find the best all-around man. From the tall Carolina pines we received Hendley into our midst as the wittiest. As a class is never complete without a dill picker, we present Jacobs as the originator of original dill pickers. As a result of his past training at W. L. we know Jarrett to be the best student. From West Virginia hails a lad, Monroe, who, because of his constant gimme a cigarette, gave to himself the title of the biggest cigarette bum. Right here looms before us Miller, always looking as if he were just out of a band-box, and with the characteristics of those who are sure of their steps. In him we find the neatest. Petersburg cast an optimistic spell over us in the form of Partin. Rolston with the aid of his five- foot magic wand and hypnotic effect over the ivories, we unanimously decided the pool shark. Here we ask you, dear readers, to bear with us just a moment longer and we will have finished that which we set out to accomplish. Rosenthal must be the oldest to be always asking such good questions(?) that are too deep for the 149 v rest of us. Resulting from a unanimous voicing of sentiment, we have Sale as the most popular. Nearing the end appears our quiet, but always-on-the-job Wilson, and to him goes the wisest choice of the day as the best pill roller. Last, but not least, we decided without a single dissenting vote, that Walker is the laziest man in the class. With this, dear readers, we bid you farewell, hoping that the above lines have not failed their object, and sincerely believing that if at any time in the future you should meet any of us, you will experience no difficulty in adjusting our respective cognomens.

SCOTT Honor Council Representative 1 56 J unior pbarmacp Cias tetorp N SEPTEMBER 18, 1917, the present Junior Pharmacy Class made their advent to the Medical College of Virginia, consist- ing or twenty-two young men and one co-ed. Since that time two more co-eds have joined our ranks, making a total of twenty-four enrolled. During the year several of the members have dropped out and are now serving Uncle Sam, leaving but twenty mem- bers to look forward to graduation next year. The following class officers were elected: E. P. Roberts, President; W. M. Thomas, Vice-President; A. B. Shenk, Secretary and Treasurer; J. G. Scott, Representa- tive Honor Council; M. B. Burge, Historian. We soon found the road before us was not an easy one to traverse, because it was not long before we came to a bend in the road, where we met Mr. Rudd with a big Chemistry under his arm, and from that day to this we have been trying to solve the meaning of that W-H-Y, which we find at the end of almost every one of his questions. Soon we came to another bend in the road, encountering Mr. Fackenthall. Here we almost mired, for every one failed on the first Botany quiz. Then, when we had to hunt for diatoms under the microscope, there was more trouble. Some member of the class would say, I ' ve found them, Mr. Fackenthall, whence Mr. Fackenthall would take a look in the scope and would very promptly remark, No diatoms, just air-bubbles; try again. Further down the road we met Mr. Phipps, who looked perfectly harmless. At last we thought surely there would be no more trouble, but when pill-making time came, we very readily changed our minds. For awhile after these encounters everything went well, but not for long. Soon we found a heavy black cloud hanging over our heads — exams! We rallied from 157 ' s the effects of these, however, and now are going to forget our past troubles, put our shoulders to the wheel, and settle down to hard work, so as to master the bigger things which we will encounter next year as grown-ups and not as infants. The members of the class have been active in most every phase of college life, and were always willing and ready to help in any way they could. Realizing, as we do now, the past, and looking into the future, let us hope that none fall by the wayside, but that each and every one will keep with us to the end. In closing, we wish to say that next year we are going to do our ablest to make this the best Senior Class that has ever departed from the Medical College of Virginia. 158 ■x z junior $f)armacj Claste election n e could see ourselves as others see us. HIS phrase applies to our class as much as to the general public. As the result of a class election, we appear as others see us, and not as we see ourselves. Our President, Roberts, is credited as the neatest. Vice-President Thomas receives the biggest sport. Secretary-Treasurer Shenk is the best all-around man. Our school is co-ed this year and Miss Burge (Historian) is unanimously elected the biggest flirt. Others of the class were voted as follows: Walker is the movie fiend; Beech, the biggest ornament of Broad Street; McCall, the biggest dill picker ; while Parsons is considered the tightest. Going on down the list we run into our stalwart Scott, whom we consider the biggest buller ; Martin, the greatest ladies man ; Silverman, the most dignified, and our persistent and diligent Phillips was proclaimed the best student without a dissenting vote. Again we have Miss S. Varlet playing the role of the most handsome; while her sister, Miss F. Varlet, we consider the grouchiest. Continuing, we find our most popular student, Harry Holtzman, to be the biggest cigarette bum. We wish to add that a truer thing could not have been said. We consider Walters as the laziest. Funk hates himself the worst, and our quiet Mebane, we give the honor of being the best pool shark, and a great honor this is, because the class contains men widely known for their ability to push the ivories around on the green cloth. Another game in which the ivories play an important part is craps. Any one desiring information will find English a ready tutor. We nearly forgot our friend Marshall. He is young as yet, and his parents forbid him the privilege of exposing his innocent body to this city of temptation. As a result he has to return to his Petersburg home every evening. We belive we acted wisely in electing him a woman-hater. 159 a: F r-°i- s v! THE JUNIOR PHARMACIST K,() ■x 7 Jf aretoell to £Jlma iWater HE school year is at a close. One can feel it in the air, one can tell it from the (approaching) examinations, one can read it in the faces of the students. It is natural that at such a period, at a time when some men are on the verge of leaving school and are meeting face to face with practical life and world problems — it is natural that introspection and analysis of events should take place. Enriched by experience of the past it is pleasanter to plan the future, it is easier to overcome the obstacles that may occur in time to come. For life is a succession of stages. Continuous as it is, there are many gradations and every stage of life is a predisposing factor of strength or weak- ness to the successive stage. In this is the significance of the period which we are passing through, in this is the importance of the Alma Mater whom we bid farewell. Le xo est mort — Vive, le roi. The school is at an end — the school is only beginning. The school of preparation is becoming a thing of the past, but the school of life lasts throughout one ' s life-time. And this is why we will cherish the memories of the memories of the Alma Mater — because throughout the entire life we will have to come back for the inspiration and guidance of the college days, because the effects of these school days will imprint life-long impressions and we will come in contact with them in our daily work. There is another reason why the Alma Mater will become a part of us in the days to come. Because with it will be associated recollections of our youth. As we gain wisdom while we grow older, it is the youthful spirit that gives us energy and resistance and makes life beautiful. Of the events of life we discard the sad memories and cultivate only the pleasant and cheerful. Metchnikoff relates an experiment in which school children were asked to tell of their remembrances and most of them gave recollections of pleasant experiences. The sad, the gloomy have been forgotten. Such is human nature! In our retro- spection we always go back to the youthful days when life was cheerful and burdenless, when we enjoyed faith and hope to the fullest extent and the future ap- peared to us full of rainbow colors. We always find those days a source of in- spiration, a balm to the suffering soul later in life. For when we think of youth we think of work, we think of triumph, we think of enthusiasm and of inspiration. 161 Recollect Ibsen ' s Master-Builder, where youth ascends the heights and you will understand the sentiments that are associated with looking backward to the happy days of youth when life was spent within the walls of Alma Mater. To Maurice Maeterhnk, the poet, the artist, happiness seems to find expression in communion of mankind with nature. To him — even the old man finds happi- ness in passing the last days of his life on the veranda of his abode watching the gorgeous sunsets, admiring the charm of the horizon and the quietus of the even- ing — all of which constitute one indivisible expression of nature. But with youth, who cannot be happy in being passive, can there be any better alliance with nature than the one which the medical profession provides? Must we not study and understand nature, as well as its secrets, to be efficient in our work? Does not this make life happy and the work noble? It seems that here is another cause for being attached to Alma Mater — this nobility of the medical profession. We have been initiated into a divine work and realizing the sacredness of the duty that we are to perform we cannot dissociate it from the temple of initiation. Does it ever occur to us that among the other divine acts, Christ was healing the sick, was restoring the health of those pronounced incurable, making the blind to see? Pre- cisely the same divine work we are going to do. To-day, more than at any other time — due to current events of history — we have a great duty to perform. It is a time when every one is a maker of history. We read at times that astronomers watch from their observatories the formation of new worlds in space. We are not witnessing, but actually participating in the creation of a new world on earth. The physical suffering, the pain and agony of the rebirth of the world will pass before the eyes of the physician as in a kaleidoscope. It is our duty that the blood be not shed in vain. Whether perchance we return from No Man ' s Land, or whether we remain there a prey to the birds — let us dedicate and sacrifice our lives to this and for this: let us work for the betterment of mankind, for equality, for universal brotherhood. This will give back to Alma Mater the best that is in us and the associated remembrances of the inspirations of youth with Alma Mater will be justified by our work when the test of life will come. Let us hope some day to achieve the noble objects of our ideals and bring inspiration to those of our Alma Mater who are to follow us. 102 T 3 ■ v F Mv $ ratermtp F MY fraternity does not do something positive towards making a man stronger, more virile, broad-minded, refined, educated and a positive character, preparing him to better fill his place in the world and making him a better man, it has not lived up to its standard nor justified its existence. My fraternity is a fraternity which seeks to ground in its members the thought that through fraternal brothership each one may gather some of the best of the other; that through the common bond of medicine, and the stimulus of fellow-students, an added interest may be aroused in study; that the protecting bonds of my fraternity are everlasting and continue in after-graduate years in a wider national scope. My fraternity wants only men, manly men, who have a definite aim in life — men who realize the years of study before them and who are prepared to devote the requisite amount of time and conscientious endeavor to accomplish that end. Men who are congenial — men with personality plus, with an upright character — the whole backed with ability — these are the men we want. My fraternity demands that is members further the best intersts of the profes- sion. The profession is greater than any one individual, than any one fraternity, than any other calling existing to-day. It is really the embodiment of, and the creation of, the best expression of the student bodies and faculties of the past as well as of the present. It is axiomatic that a man who works for and in the best interest of the profession in all or any of its fields or endeavors will further the best interests of that man as an individual and as a member of the fraternity. 16-4 ■x T $i)t Cf)t Founded at University of Vermont 1889 Florver: Lily of the Valley with Leaves Colors: Olive Green and White Publication: The Phi Chi Quarterly ACTIVE CHAPTERS Alpha University of Vermont, Burlington, Vt.

G. 211 F W$t $f)armaceutical Association T WAS the year of 1 908- ' 09 that a small group of students of the Department of Pharmacy of the University College of Medicine met together and formed a fraternity organization which is now known as the Pharmaceutical Association of the Medical College of Virginia. 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 oppor- tunities to the students to become acquainted with many problems that come up in the after-life, and the new devolpment of Pharmacy of to-day, 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 develop- ment 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. 212 7 YMjGA 213 (Efje gotmg JWensi Cfjrtettan association Of t )t Jllebical College of Virginia OFFICERS BOARD OF DIRECTORS Ennion G.

George Bosher Martin was the first speeler and his audience consisted only of a few corn-bearing sight-seers, who did not wish to be caught in a crowd. The text was given out. Admit the West End inhabitants who are always late, especially on Monday morning, as the clothes for dat dar wash-woman had to be put out. McCants: What ' s he talking about? Shultz: I don ' t know — just got in. Terrell: Prostrate. The speeler did well, did his task faithfully and carefully, for he knew the spindle-shaped director was liable to metastasize on his oratory at most any time. Soon footsteps that sounded far apart were heard, and the sad muffled voiced enter- tainer closed his type book; looked at both exits from the pit, chose the one on the right and went back to the tent. Gentlemen, good morning. The first case this morning is that of a stone. Stone in the ureter, gentlemen — right ureter — is it not. Doctor? Doctor Gray tells me that he found a stone in the right ureter and evidences of having had a stone in the left ureter. I don ' t ' understand ' that. I can ' t see how he could tell a man had had stones. Admit Cystoscope Co. See Buck, if you can. Note the filiform Roumanian chief; the sulcus between his trousers and shoe tops; the depth of his legs; the width of his waist; his habitus entoropticus ; his ever- stretching arms; his semino-versiclized fingers; and that gogled dome, graced along its longitudinal suture only, with a growth that defies the fertile fields of Roumania. The chief used the structural curve in his back and with the addition of a few other graceful manoeuvers succeeded in placing the lighted telegraph poles. He then cabled the right kidney. All the time he had used a masterful motherly tongue to prepare the patient for the pain of a wire on a stone. After a few juggling move- ments, the structural curve disappeared. 229 p Ah, there is something wrong here — something wrong, gentlemen, I venture to say that this man has no stone. If he had, gentlemen, I fawncy that I would have hurt him when I introduced my ureteral catheter. I rawther fawncy he has a rather small calcareous lymph gland resting on the SIDE of the ureter and which Dr. Gray TOOK to be a stone. Yes, indeed, gentlemen, there is something wrong here. Exit the male patient and admit a woman with a lump in her side, and everything prepared for a local anesthesia. Now Annie, I am not going to hurt you. Boys, I have told Annie if I hurt her, I was going to stop, and that is what we are going to do. The hypodermic needle went in. Alright now, Annie, you help me, I help you. Now Annie is going to help us, and we are going to help her. Look, gentlemen, at this tortous blood supply to the mass. I fear malignancy. Once down to the mass the blood oozed everywhere, with Dr. Hughes catching- as-catch-can. Everybody present remembers the blood supply on the top of that tensely drawn capsule. Now Dr. Hughes will catch that bleeder, and then we will sew her up. Don ' t puncture it, Doctor. With this instruction given he turned and faced his audience and with eyes closed tight he repeated, Don ' t puncture it, Doctor. The onlookers of course, saw no reason to follow suit so looked intently. Roumania finally opened her eyes, and noticing the expression of those before him concluded, Dr. Hughes, you sew it up. I venture to say that this woman will live but a few days. At the same hour as yesterday a few were present with a brand-new doctor explaining the handiwork of his master, at Mr. Hirshberg ' s parlors. Dr. Henson asked me to quiz you all on these subjects here (looking at his notes). I don ' t know anything about ' um, but he told me. Let ' s see. Simpson, what is the percentage of cancer occurring under 30? Did not try to remember the figures that Dr. Henson gave us of that man who had 43 cases. What is 43 cases anyhow? You might as well make us remem- ber the percentage of hemorrhoids in left-handed people. 230 7 Sherrick put down something, but we think it was this: Referred to Henson. Admit a female patient. Mr. Moore, will you read the history of this patient. Chief complaint is Inflammation of the Stomach. That ' s not what she told me. Well that ' s what she said — anyway she ' s got Salpingitis. The innocent virtuous (perhaps) negro woman did not enter into the conversation. It was now about the time that Mr. Frank Leucocytosis should arrive. Every- body had folded his morning paper, calm settled over the amphitheatre, and with furtive glances to the right and left, it was easy to see that the crowded audience was expectantly awaiting the arrival of the great gladitor in the arena. But listen, footsteps are heard approaching. Enter Dr. Henson. Urh — Burr, used all the soap in the can — then looked around again. His voice being now more human, he asked for the family physician of the patient, and after a few rounds with him, began in a voice ranging from that of a court-crier to that of a good looking woman — arguing with himself. I think this woman has appendicitis primarily, But — Here, Buck answered from the distance. Why do I say that? You, You. He soon quit pointing, as the boys were not disposed to argue. I ' ll tell you why. There were no objections. Because she complained of disturbance in the gastro-intestinal tract, in the first place. Paused to let sink in. In the second place, in a large percentage of the cases, mark me — under- stand what I say — in a large percentage of cases the tip is adherent to the fim- briated end of the tube, and — womanhaspelvicsymptoms. Dr. Arithmetic has reported 183 of these cases. Admit Nance with an air of heavy responsibility — grunts are heard issuing from all corners of the room, with Dudley and DuBose in the lead. Scrub up, scrub up, Nance. The patient was now rolled in, Bracey hanging on the ether end. The fumes permeated the air, having been under for 45 minutes, and Bracey having already passed the physiological limit, gazed into her eyes to see if the patient was still equal to the task. 231 Dr. Henson gave Sherrick one pair of scissors to put in his rack and then filled his own with knives, scissors, forceps, hemostats and retractors, and proceeded to tell about some one who had gold handled scissors and thus being able to place his hand on them by the reflection. After putting the hurdle racks in place on both sides of the encampment, he dug a small trench and called for cat-gut. The nurse may have thought she was going to get through this time in a few minutes, but she lived to see her suture material slowly dwindle as Frank sewed sheets on the sides of his dugout to limit the staphs from going over the top. Seriously and methodically he finally reached for the appendix, and having delivered it, mysteriously started around the base with Miss Pagenstacher and ended with her extremities opposite each other. Do what Mr. Sherrick may he had her purse string. Sorry we could not linger any longer, for we heard this — Henson would teach you something if you would only listen to him. But we had to leave him, buried in a mass of adhesions with his cotiere having gotten their second wind. Wednesday the site of operation was changed to Morlok ' s, and the climax was about reached on this mid-day of the week. Enter Dr. Willis with his usual beaming smile — Boys, good morning. Baker, you have this case, haven ' t you? Yes, sir. Has he had any evening temperature? No, sir; but he has had a little temperature in the afternoon. That is what I want to know. (To himself.) What else has he got, Baker? Doctor, he has TUBERCULAR PERITONITIS, with that effervescent smile of his. What makes you think so? ' Cause his brother had it. Dr. Willis with the Birth of a Nation cap over his face, now opened the patient ' s abdomen. See, gentlemen, all these nodules scattered over the peritoneum? My, my what do you think of that? See ' em. (Nobody did.) Feel ' em, Outland? We will 232 F y close him up. He will get along alright, for I have operated on a number of these cases and all of them get well after the operation. Why does Willis wear that superfluous headgear? is heard. Answer, To catch the drops of perspiration from the energetic use of his bull-wark muscles. Exeunt that class and enter Mr. D. Ulcer. Gentlemen, he has the diagnosis written on his face, can ' t you see it? To patient, carefully coached and afraid not to answer correctly. How long have you been bothered with indigestion? All my life. See there, gentlemen, he has NEVER been free of it. At what time of the day do you eat your meals? Early in the morning, at about 12:00 o ' clock and at night. Is that all you eat? No, sir; I often jump off the wagon and run in a store and get something to eat. Listen at that, gentlemen, (satisfied expression passed over Dr. Willis ' face). Do you ever take any medicine? Nothing but some cooking soda. Here Dr. Willis turned to the boys and winked his eye. Do you ever have any pains? Yes, sah; I has a gnawing in my insides, and that what makes me run and get something to eat, or take that soda when I can get it. The patient, having batted a thousand per cent, is sent back to the ward and placed in Class 1 . Dr. Willis, having scored, struts around like a peacock and says: Gentlemen, what else do you want? Nobody has a chance so he gave the box score: Indigestion, pain between meals, relieved by food and soda. I ' ll cure him with a gastro-enterostomy, for that ' s what he needs. NOTE. — Gall bladders are scarce this season — took them all out for last year ' s series. 233 For Thursday, fearing that the attendance would drop off the Agency dis- banded the see surgery, clean nix and brought forth a New ton (long) of the same material, but which was to be applied without a knife. In a nasal monologue we are told: Gentlemen, we have with us to-day Julius and Augustus Caesar, one weigh- ing 3% pounds and the other 4 pounds. They are now getting a formula of whey every three hours. They will be given a dose of castor oil if they stay here long. Ask Dr. A. L. Gray about whey. He was one of my whey babies. We just thought that we would show them while Dr. Bracey brings in his baby. Bracey brought in his baby with the bottle in the proper place and functionating with great satisfaction. This caused some discussion, for although Bracey is eligible, he has no little exemplings and some one remarked how well he handled children since he left home. This case was sent in with a diagnosis of pneumonia, but he got well before he had it. It was given a dose of castor oil according to routine. Its temperature dropped and is now doing nicely, due to the attention given it by the female element of the house staff! Looking for the history on the chart, New Ton asked: Whose baby is this? The nurse was somewhat embarrassed, and yet relieved when the class agreed that Jimmy Cle- ments was responsible, for he was on the front seat and took a paternal interest in the child, consequently was allowed to fondle it for a short time. Jimmy was convicted because the child had the same pro- lific ?) growth of hair on its head as Jimmy had. Carter was very envious of Jimmy ' s success and left the meeting. After removing the subject of discussion, New Ton decided to leave a good top dressing on, so we smeltered for thirty minutes during a discourse on Feeding Without Natural Resources. Friday we met at Morlok ' s air dome for the second performance of the week. We came slightly refreshed, our eyes were recovering from the strain of trying to See it, gentlemen in the dark abyss of a peritoneal cavity and trying to identify scar tissue in a mass of mucous, scissors, and gloved fingers. 234 P p One of the Katzenjammer twins was present, but everybody howled that there was a miss sure somewhere. But, no sir; a Mellin ' s food agent came in dressed for a track meet. Yet we concur in the opinion that he would be late for any race. The crowd was slow in collecting and the band did not begin to play until Brown responded to Cock Robin ' s call for an inventory of the poor woman ' s most intimate past and present life; for the character and general reputation of herself, mother, father, and children, and finally how she paid the last installment on her kitchen stove. Brown protected the patient as well as he could and then was asked: Now, Brown, tell us the salients about this woman ' s history. Brown started but never finished, as C. R. R. Strong had to purge himself of this certain question every Friday morning in every year. Were you here larst year. Yes, sir; I was. Well, then. Brown, tell me the causes of pelvic inflammation. Brown was about to answer, but Dudley had an acute attack of Knowledge Coryza about that time and supplied the Friday morning agent with the information wanted. I arsk that question every year on examination and somebody always misses it. I cawn ' t understand why they do it. Having relieved his anxiety about the causes of this rare infection he felt better and paddled back to the side entrance saying as he went: All right — gentlemen, we will operate on this woman in a few minutes. As the operator left the room a whistle was heard from the rear seats of the amphitheatre. Pee wee. Invisible noises, not unlike the banging of the library typewriter were heard from the several members who had risen to accept the challenge. Come on, you ' re yellow if you don ' t come. Who ' s got the bones? That ' s alright, you come on. Anaphylaxis was strong among those present and the crowd soon increased to war strength and every State was properly represented. Charlie: Where are you going, DuBose? DuBose: Going to call upon a friend. 235 r F There was no roll call, but everybody was accounted for and arranged them- selves in a vicious circle. Be somebody bones! Oh, look at that six! You can ' t make a six. Six ain ' t on those dice. What ' s that? Read ' em and weep. Oh, bones, this time! Flock of trays. What ' s that? Seven. I ' m not hot yet. Bones, BONES See that natural. Shoot the twenty. Eight, eighty days, what ' s my point? I can pull a point. There ' s your five and a three. Shoot the forty. I ' ve got a dime of it. Come on — five cents begging. Now it ' s all covered, shoot! Natural bones! Hey bones! Five and two will do. Oh, my! You got too ambitious — you should have drawn down all but the Alright, I ' ll show you boys how to roll dice. Oh, purity! It looks like little Joe to me. Little Joe isn ' t hard to make. Is you, Joe? What did I tell you? He never fails me. Shoot the fifteen cents. Every- thing covered? Come on, don ' t pick up dat money. I ' m going to run through you boys to-day. At about this time a tenderfoot tried to creep into the game, but dropped his dime as usual. Come on, when are those bones going to get to me? Now you got ' em. Be pure bones! Oh, Bones, do you hear me? Dime on the come. ten cents. In the meantime 236 =? Don ' t roll them so far. Now you ' re talking dice. Oh, hell. Bones be wid me! I don ' t roll you hard, bones. What ' s dat? Everybody in chorus. Crap. Shoot the half then. A durn seven, let ' s go. The members of the Pe Wee, Bone and Whistle Society, having met, trans- acted the routine business and no member having imposed on his brother, although everybody was positive, The boys broke me up this morning, decided at 1 1 :00 o ' clock to go with the faithful sight-seers and resume their indoor sports at Mc- Cauley ' s newsstand, fearless of the plain clothes men in his establishment. Saturday was the day that the Agency knew they would have a big crowd, so they sent their manager down. He did not arrive on time, but his publicity man modestly showed us the results of last week ' s performance and told us what the feature was going to be that morn- ing. He was new in this role, but seemed sincere. For some unknown reason he appeared to be afraid that his boss would catch him talking to the audience. How about the war? The said remark announced the advent of the Base Hospital Unit, Number 45. I was in Washington a few days ago — That was all the tangible informa- tion we received, except that he was going to Washington next week. Well, Dr. Williams tells me that I have a young girl to operate on this morn- ing. She thinks she has appendicitis. She is a neurasthenic and removing her ap- pendix might do her some good. Dudley, who agreed that this woman had symptoms of Hygeia, went down to assist Stuart. Our own Bill Oates, alias Jiggs, alias Flip, went to the anesthetic roo m to do his part of the performance. The patient was rolled in and Bill, with his peach blossom complexion, but minus his cigar, and properly flanked by Capt. Foy, was tenderly administering a few drops of ether. Dr. McGuire: Start the next anesthetic. 237 X Poor Bill saw Miss Foy feel the patient ' s pulse for her last time and was about to entrust to him the consciousness of her patient, but she was entreated in a choked voice, Don ' t you leave me here wid dis here woman. Where is the man who said that I took out an appendix SOME WEEKS ago and that there was nothing the matter with it? Baker, Funny Face, G. P. I haven ' t got a report on it yet. HOLD YOUR BAG Can you fix my teeth without hurting? said a young widow in the Dental Infirmary. Brown : Yes, we will have to give you a little gas and you won ' t feel a thing. But you needn ' t pay me now, just wait until we are through with you. Patient: I was not going to pay you. I was just going to see how much money I have in my bag. A CITY GIRL IN THE COUNTRY Place: Virginia Hospital Amphitheater. Time: Saturday morning. Heard from a row in the rear. Junior Student: Say, ' Dutch, ' who is that nurse giving the anesthetic? Dutch: Anesthetic h , Nance is giving the anesthetic, and that nurse is holding the patient ' s feet to keep her from falling off the table. WE HAVE IT ALWAYS WITH US After spending three quiet months away from college, I returned this fall to see if the old-style bull was still being manufactured in the same old way. Was it? Yes, indeed. I entered a barber shop one morning, and while the tonsorial duties were being performed, was awakened to hear the following monologue, per Gip Terrell, who spends his nights in Ashland: Hum — Oh, yes; we internes at the Memorial have to work pretty hard. Many nights Dr. Phinney and I have to operate until most morning. 238 V =P TACTILE CONFIDENCE Patient comes to operaintg room having been examined by Demonstrator in gynecology. History reports no masses felt. At operation were found large pyosalpinx on both sides — hypertrophied uterus, etc. Hatcher in disgust: Huh, if I couldn ' t feel those masses, I ' d give up prac- ticing medicine. SOPHOMORE CLINICAL PATHOLOGY LABORATORY Mr. Curtis: Dr. Budd, this certainly has been a very instructive lab. period. I certainly have enjoyed it this morning. Dr. Budd, turning his head away: Yes, that ' s what makes the grass grow. JIGGS, WHEN A BOY Aw, said Dinty Moore, you ' re afraid to fight the boy, that ' s all it is. Naw, I ' m not, say Jiggs, but if I should strike that count Sweetheart Maggie would certainly find it out and I could not go to see you Dinty. How ' ll she find it out, eh? She ' ll see the doctor going in his house. DIAGNOSIS Dudley : I have a case over at the Virginia Hospital that had a hysterectomy done two years ago and she has been bleeding for the past six months. I don ' t know what ' s wrong with the woman. Terrell: How about a placenta praevia? A dental student under a Ford: Now this will hurt you just a little. 2:00 A. M. NURSE CALLS HER DR. PHINNEY Dr. Phinney, after a thorough examination, yawns, and in a very professional manners says: Nothing but a case of appendicitis. Give her morphine. 3:00 A. M. Dr. Ben Gray, Obstetrician: I ' ll be there in a few minutes. 239 ' s ? TRANSMITTED FROM VIRGINIA HOSPITAL Dr. Hinchman: What diseases are transmitted by the rat? Nurse: Hysteria, Excitement and Nervous Prostration. HAPPENINGS AT DR. SHERRICK ' S CLINIC Dr. Denton here diagnosed hernia, and the doctor, on the outside who is a good doctor, also diagnosed hernia. And at the same hour this was heard from the square jawed senior who always sat near the drop light. Dr. Sherrick: What is the difference between the symptoms of varicocele and hydrocele? DuBose: Varicocele is in the head, and hydro is not. TRY THIS Little drops of acid, Little bits of zinc; Don ' t teach much Chemistry, But smells like a mink. LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED Some of the dental students who had been drafted during the summer, spend- ing their summer in the service of the U. S. A., came back to college during the late fall, and immediately affiliated with the rest of the class. Dr. Haskell on Physiology : Boys, I am glad to see you back. I am glad you are allowed to finish your profession. You all need not worry about this course. Put most of your time on your other studies. The boys, still in khaki, were about to salute Col. Haskell, when he gasses them: No, don ' t worry about Physiology, for 50 per cent, of those who have been in here ALL THE TIME are NOT going to pass. 240 T 3 A gay bacillus to gain her glory, Once gave a ball in her laboratory. The fete took place on a cover glass, Where vulgar germs could not harass. None but the cultured were invited, For microbes chicks are well united, They closely shut the ball room doors To all the germs containing spores. The staphylococci first arrived, To stand in groups they all contrived. The diplococci came in view, A trifle late and two by two, The streptococci took great pains To seat themselves in graceful chains. The pneumococci stern and haughty Declared the gonococci naughty, And said they would not come at all If the gonos were present at the ball. The fete began, the mirth ran high; With not a fear of danger nigh. Each germ enjoyed himself that night, With no fear of a phagocyte. Twas getting late and some were loaded When bang! the formaldehyde exploded; And drenched that happy, dancing mass That swarmed the fated cover glass. Not one survived, but perished all, At that bacteriological ball. HE NOSE A DISEASE Arte Ten little negroes all sitting in a row, Some in Dispensary waiting to go; In comes Hatcher, tall, handsome and sweet Whiff, whiff, — Syphilis! Is Mitchell going to meet? 241 F Dr. McGavock, reading the questions on skin quiz: Give the effects of alcohol internally. Pittman: Doctor, did you ever lecture on that subject? Dr. McGavock: I did. Weren ' t you here? Pittman: I don ' t remember your saying anything about it, so will it be alright for me to write what I know from personal experience? Dr. McGavock: Yes, provided you remember correctly. IN THE NAVY There was a young lady named Banker, Who slept while the ship lay at anchor: She woke in dismay When she heard the mate say ' Now hoist up the top sail and spanker. ' FINDNESS No, this one is not on Technique Decker — Instructor in Dispensary: Mr. Lewis, what did you do with my thermometer? Peyton Lewis: I ' m sterilizing it in the boiler for you, Doctor. INFORMATION WANTED When did the boys stop calling Quiz Marks on Dr. Call ' s class? COMPLICATIONS Dr. Graham on Orthopedics: Dr. Terrell, what complications do you have to guard against in putting on a cast? Terrell: Pigeon-Toes. Dancing masters are always taking steps to raise money. 242 ■x 7 CONTRARIES Dr. Sycle: Injections of salicylate mercury Dr. Tucker: Intraspinal Salvarsan Dr. Price: Intravenous injections of Salvarsan Dr. Urbach: Bichloride intravenously Dr. Hodges: Inunctions following hot baths And thus the recent graduate goes forth prepared to treat syphilis — providing that he forgets a great deal. But pray tell, how can you account for each and every method being the best? Dr. Call: The muscular element of the first heart sound is most important in ascertaining the degree of cardiac impairment during the course of any infectious disease Dr. Hutcheson (a few days later) : Mr. Gardner, when would you know to begin the administration of digitalis (ahem) in the course of an infectious process? Mr. Gardner: By listening to the degree of impairment of the muscular element of the heart sounds Expression of great satisfaction spreading over Creepy ' s face. Dr. Hutcheson, who had read recent quiz paper and question concerning above: Not worth a damn was the way it sounded to Creepy. Exit Creepy — later resuscitated by Hatcher at Sheltering Arms Hospital. Dr. LaRoque: Gentlemen, in passing the sound be gentle — gentle, I say for you are apt to make a false passage in an impermeable stricture. Following this we watch the demonstration of sound passing which resembled the movement of a trip hammer thrown into high speed. Dr. VanderHoof: Give digitalis only when there are signs of failing com- pensation Dr. Hutcheson: Give tincture of digitalis in one drachm doses as soon as the telephone announces a new victim. In passing, we wish to state that we miss the opinions of Odema Brown on this most important drug. However, Dr. Haskell left an impression on most of the class that we are not apt to forget very soon. 243 s Dr. Haskell: Sparteine is a local favorite with little to justify its usage. It is a heart depressant and has little effect on the kidney. Dr. McGuire: Nothing like sparteine, gentlemen, to boost up the action of the kidneys and heart. Two grains every four hours. Here we hear sighs — long breaths and sighs of early prostration. Dr. Nelson: In percussing the chest in obscure cases of tuberculosis, great care should be used by the examining physician. He should first percuss with a firm, yet gentle rebounding stroke of the index finger. When in doubt precuss most gently with the ear close to the area under examination We now go to room No. 6, in the Dispensary and watch Dr. Lipscomb, who must have had his training ringing bells with the sledge hammer. Dr. Baughman : Gentlemen, I can tell more by rectal examination than most men can by the old and dangerous methods Then we go on outside duty and Dr. Bill Oates, our advising accoucher, tells us: Oh, hell, fellows, go ahead and examine the woman. THE M. A. A. The activities of the Mexican Athletic Association have almost been entirely taken up by the Faculty. The letter men in the Senior Class have taken back seats, as it were, in the amphitheatre and sit with open-mouthed astonishment at the come- back of the former champions. A. Piedmont Willis who has heretofore been at best a 220 slinger has broken into the 440 class and has caused most of the men to forget Greer Baughman, the greatest 880 slinger ever seen at M. C. V. John Shultz has taken the count and has become a bleacherite since Joe Bear spent sixteen and two-thirds minutes explaining the meaning of Pyelitis. Jimmy Henson never was much of an athlete, but with the assistance of such good trainers as Sherrick and Mayo-Murphy-Scrub-up Nance has broken into fast company. Bob Bryan — ;that wonderful Toreador of old — has come back from Roumania with a few new frills on his technique of casting that male animal of beef. Charlie Robins and Stuart Michaux have not improved much since last year. 244 Hawkins, whom we thought quelched has been able to keep pace with them in the 50 and 1 00, but it is understood that they are going in for the hurdles — anyway Hawkins is beginning to look sick. We missed one of last year ' s star performers for a short while, but finally were given a good substitute, and we offer even money on a meet between G. Paul LaRoque and C. C. Coleman. GOOD MATERIAL HERE What are we going to do without Bev. Tucker? asked many when this cele- brated English linguist announced that his course was run. This question was answered by one — more nobler than thou — J. Alienist Hodges, who at his very first lecture strayed upon the verdant fields of verbal pon- derosity and employed etomological anomalies in order to impress upon the minds of the youthful embryonic physicians that if they would only listen to the few remarks he was going to make — and I say this advisedly — they would be able to go forth and make brilliant diagnoses. In conclusion he said: Buh-cause, gentlemen, I have picked up many a case passed on by some one else by a careful examination and only buh-cause I did not put too much dependence in a negative Wassermann. WILLIAM Crenshaw: Why do you call the baby Bill ? Father: He was born on the first day of the month. Pittman : Does your mother object to kissing. She: Now just because I let you kiss me you needn ' t think you can kiss the whole family. O HENRY IN DISGUST To call Hutcheson slow would be like tying a nomenclaturial tin can to the tail of McGavock ' s self-respect. 245 P F CO-EDUCATION The Senior said To the fair co-ed: I ' m like a ship at sea; Graduation is near, But much I fear That I unlucky shall be. Then whispered she: A shore I ' ll be, Come rest thy troubled oar. When darkness fell All was well, For the ship had hugged the shore.

The food elements in Mellin ' s Food — carbohydrates (maltose and dextrins), proteins and salts — when dissolved in water and added to cow ' s milk so change the balance of nutrition in cow ' s milk that the resulting modification presents fat, proteins, carbohydrates and salts in the proportion needed for the Development of Infanti e Life.
