1 903 Medic History VICTOR C. VAUGHAN I IKE other classes, we came from different places from the Orient to the Occident and from North Dakota to Mississippi. Young and old men and nine young ladies made up a grand total of one hundred and seventy-one. This number began to grow smaller at once. One of our fall members was assigned to the Ana- tomical Laboratory and made short work of it. He sallied in, swooned and was carried out. The autumnal air revived him. He tried it again with the same result. Then he hurried to the depot and bought a ticket back to his Indiana homestead. One of the professors immediately won his way into our favor by granting the request of one of our warm members who interrupted him in the middle of a sentence by asking him if he would please have some of the windows opened. A class banquet was to be given in one of the down-town halls, and many were the town people there gathered about to see what would happen. The worst that the upper classmen could do was to practice hideous noises on the outside. Several times the cry, The ' Sophs ' are coming! brought us from an attitude of offence at the festive board to one of defense at the head of the stairs, but in every case it was a false alarm. Our return to college in the fall of 1900 witnessed the absence of the grand old man, ' Doc ' Naegle, whose duty it was to ring out the old class and ring in the new. It is to be regretted that he who had so long been identified with the Medical Department and knew so many tales of the old Medical Building could not have been spared to see the completion of the new one. As Sophmores we numbered one hundred forty-three, and did those things which will live after us. We were told that we were not the best class on the Campus. One winter ' s day when the sun was shining and the snow was melting, several of the class left the lecture-room very hurriedly at the close of the hour and awaited, snow-balls in hand, the coming of the others. Many volleys were fired. The windows showed the progress of some, while the janitor is said to have been in the way of others. A day or two later when we were assembled, all those who threw snow-balls were asked to stand. Several arose, but apparently some were absent or failed to understand the command. Then the student who threw at the janitor was asked to stand. No one stood. The janitor was called in and told to pick out the guilty one. He made a careful survey of the amphitheatre then shook his head in a significant way, as much as to say, They all look alike to me. He was enjoined to have another look, but the result was the same. There were about two hundred fifty in the class that day, about a third being Dental students who took no part in the melee. Some one of us was unkind enough to wish that the janitor had picked out one of them as his assailant, just to see what would have happened. The guilty ones who were honest enough to stand were then directed to go to the Treasurer ' s office and settle. An assessment of five cents each paid for the damage done. In our Junior year we were one hundred twenty strong. This year the S. L. A. election demonstrated the fact that the Laws and Lits were not the only politicians. By a bit of strategy we captured the office of Treasurer, and that of Recording Secretary fell to the ' 04 Medics. One of our members was one day being quizzed on the subject of Anthlemintics. He talked very learnedly on the treatment of the Ascaris Lumbricoides and Taenia Solium, 95
