its Edgar Mead Reading, A. M., M. D., was born in Edwardsburg, Mich., August l8, l852. He comes from staunch old colonial and revolutionary stock, one of his ancestors having served as colonial governor of New jersey under King George. Dr. Reading inherited his fathers love of study and scientific research and graduated from Milwaukee Academy in l870. ln l874 he obtained the degree of B. A., from Yale University, and in l877 graduated from Bennett with the degree of M. D. Northwestern University in l880 conferred upon him the degree of A. M. Immediately after his graduation from, Bennett, Dr. Reading served on the first staff of the Bennett Hospital, which was erected on a lot in the rear of the college. ln the autumn of l87S he was called upon to conduct the course in Physiology in Bennett owing to the sudden illness of his father. He was subsequently elected to the full professorship of Physiology, later Diseases of the Chest, and ten years ago to that of Nervous Diseases, which he still occupies. ln ISSS he was appointed to the Attending Staff of the Cook County Hospital and remained three years. ln l894 he was appointed on the Consulting and Nominating Staff of Cook County Hospital, which position he Filled six years. ln 1907 he was elected President of Bennett, but owing to a large private practice and other college connections which made his duties very numerous, he resigned at the end of a year. He has been a member of various associations for The Advancement of Science, for i'The Prevention of Tuberculosis, and others, author of college text books, connected with other educational institutions, but during his whole professional career has been very closely associated with his Alma lVlater. And now, as senior member of the Faculty and the only living wit- ness of Bennetts early struggles as compared with her ultimate success. he feels that his heart and pride are more than ever centered in her welfare and hopes that he may be spared for future labor in this direction for many years to come. Member of the A. M. A., Chicago Medical Society, Tri-State Medi- cal Society. '1
