Ontario, January 7. 1851. His father was VVilliam Lowry Copeland, and his mother Dency Prudence Moore. His father was born in County Armagh. Ireland, his mother in Ogdensburg. N. Y. Doctor Copeland attended the public, schools of St. Catharines, and later four years at the Academy. He matriculated in Medicine at McGill University Montreal. in 1868, and was graduated in 1872. He spent one year in the the London Hospitals. becoming a member of the Royal College of Surgeons. He practiced Medicine in St. Catharines from 1873 to 1879, when he came to Chicago, where he has since resided. His mother died in 1880, and his father in 1887. In 1875 Doctor Copeland was married to Mary St. John. daughter of Sainucl I... and Martha St. .lohn. They have two daughters. Mary Maude and Dency Belle. This is a brief smmnary of the Chief Events in the life of a man who has made a profound impression on the student body of the C. C. D. S. Doctor Copeland accepted the Professorship of Anatomy in the College in 18811. and since that time has taught every class in the institution. He also holds the same chair in the Chicago College of Medicine and Surgery. thus coming into personal contact with several hundred men every session. Thoroufrhly master of his sub- ject he makes his teachinfr so plain and simple that the beginner has no difficulty in folloyyinv l1i1n in every detail. ln ordinary hands. the study of anatomy is somewhat irksome but with Professor Copeland it is made most entertaininuf. Nor is this his only qualification. He has the rare faculty of attractinfr to him every member of each class and it is not an exaggeration t nay that o student ever left either of these colleges without feelinfr that in Dottor Copeland he had a true and lifelong friend. As a teacher he is always approachable and he commands attention without exerting authority. He is not so puffed up with the conviction of his own importance that he cannot bend to listen to the point of view of others. He is fairmined to an exalted deffree and no complaininfr student was ever turned avsay without an impartial hearing. It has fallen to his lot to aid in the discipline of many a recreant boy' but he never left a sting as the result of his verdict. Minqlinff with students all his life he readily grasps the students point of viewl and is thereby enabled to pass judgment on young men and their motives with an accuracy born of long .'- perience supplemented by a keen intuition. Best of all he is personally' young- not only in appearance but in spirit. Nlayhap it is his constant association with youth that contributes to this his distinffuishinvy characteristic. In any event the remark is frequently passed that Doctor Copeland looks not a day older than he did when he first taught in Collefre. And it is the fervent wish of all his friends that this may continue 'for many years to come that his faculty and students may lonq have the benefit of association with his delicrhtful personality. y I 1 1 1 s I f I 1 h 1 C 1 l 1 I as 1 1 1 ' V 8 4' 1 I 1 1 1 1 l 1 1 1 2, 1 1' 1 1 1 1 1 25 l 1 ' , . f o s . n , 1 5 1 7 1 . f . 1 f 1 1 f f , r 1 I 1 Y ' 1 1 . to ' ' ' za ,1 Y 1 1 1 1 1 1 ' 1 , , . h D f 1 v ' I , . . 1 Y . ex I K 1 1 l ' . . 1 . . . 1 7 z-f ta ' ' L 7 1 1 L l l V Y I :- g . , . . 1 . - 1 Y 1 L - r- o ' I I l .
