L iM NEW ERA is dawning for Bennett Medical College. The alumni, students and faculty have no reason to be ashamed of her past, but all should rejoice in the glorious prospects of her future. On June first, I9I5, Loyola University takes over full control of the college, which becomes as much the medical department of the University as are those departments of the University of illinois or Northwestern Uni- versity. There is no doubt that the develcpment of all first-class medical schools must be in direct connection with universities. An academic at- mosphere is necessary. The prestige of a great university is necessary. Honors and indispensable endowments can reasonably be expected only through university connections. Loyalty to Bennett should be increased because of its organic union with Loyola. More is constantly being expected from medical schools than in the past and more will be expected in the future. The public is demand- ing better education of its doctors of medicine. They must verily be doctors -learned. just as men constitute a state, so students constitute a school. Loyalty to Bennett and to Loyola cannot better be shown than by efforts to get good students for the medical school. The increasing requirements both for entrance and for graduation will, for a time. tend to reduce the numbers of students in our classes unless con- centrated effort is put forth to obtain students. If each student now in col- lege brought one acceptable new student the present membership would in- crease three-fold. If each teacher in Bennett brought one student, the membership would not decrease. If each alumnus brought one student the halls would not hold the host of them. Let each of us try to get at least one student. We can now talk to prospective students with greater hope and greater sense of conviction than ever before. Loyola is solid and its solidity will solidify Bennett. HENRY F. LEWIS, M. D. 15045

Waiver' APPENDICITIS. Have you got the new disorder? If you haven't 'tis in order To succumb to it at once without delay. It is called appendicitis, Very different from gastritis, Or the common trash diseases of the day. lt creates a happy frolf, Something like the winter colic, That has often jarred our inner organs some. Only wrestles with the wealthy, And the otherwise rnost healthy, Having got it, then you're nigh to kingdom come Midway down in your intestine, lts interstices infestin' ls a little alley, blind and dark as night: Leading off to simply nowhere, Catching all stray things that go there, As a pocket it is simply out of sight. It is prone to stop and grapple With the seed of grape or apple, Or a soldier button swallowed with your pie. Having levied on these chattels, Then begin internal battles, g That are apt to end in mansions in the sky. Once located, never doubt it, You would never be without ity lt's a fad among society that's gay: Old heart failure and paresis Have decarnped and gone to pieces And dyspepsia has fallen by the way. Then stand back there, diabetes, For here comes appendicitis, With a brood of minor troubles on the wing. So, vermiform, here's hoping You'll withstand all drastic doping And earn the appellation i'Uncrowned King. -Anonymous. l 1547
