H B M B In this ninety-ninth year of our school history when everyone is looking forward with anticipation to the coming Centennial, we take a few moments to look back into the colorful past and to pay fitting tribute to the Old without which the New would be impos- sible. In this book we have made a record of those possessions which we now have so that in a few years when the face of the college has been changed, we who will come back to a place of strange appear- ance may still remember the Alma Mater that we knew. The beautiful old columns of the Egyptian Building will ever be stately reminders to us, as to so many before us, of the studious and happy years spent at the Medical College of Virg inia.

3n ilrmonam Thirty-five years ago the Medical College of Virginia placed the name of Manfred Call among the medical teachers of this school. On September 13, 193 6 his name was removed from that roster. Death only could have severed a tie that years of service had made both strong and precious. Long is the list of contributions and services virhich Man- fred Call as Professor of Medicine and Dean of the School of Medicine has rendered. Longer still is the list of per- sonal attributes which made him beloved by peers and pupils. Few have given more to this school; none more willingly. From the days of his internship in Medicine until the tmie of his death, both his teaching and his life were character- ized by an honest)- and a scientific curiosity which has found few equals. Manfred Call saw, with a broadness of vision given to few men, the importance of the unity of the Medical College of Virginia, and vigorously and loyally he pursued that ideal. His faith in the soundness of an institution that represented a complete health service has been justified. For thirty- five years he stood for that ideal. His memoriam will not, nor can not be written in these words. Rather, it will hve and grow in meaning as this school continues to fulfill its function of providing the community with a service embracing all the arts of healing. E. M. F.
