dfoljn flrtrr Mixttxat John Peter Munroe, born of Presbyterian parents, near Fayetteville, in 1857, now president of North Carolina Medical College, at Davidson and Charlotte— this is thus far the life story of Doctor Munroe. He studied at Davidson College from 1878 to 1882, winning the Wiley Prize in mathematics and the honor of salutatory orator. After graduation, he taught two years at Fayetteville and one at Raeford. Thence he went to the University of Virginia and finished the course in medicine in one term. Standing first among his classmates in competitive examination, he was ap- pointed resident physician at St. Luke ' s Hospital, Richmond. From 1886 to 1889, Doctor Munroe practiced medicine at Durham, N. C, where he won for himself a most enviable reputation. The appreciation of his faithfulness and remarkable skill during an epidemic of typhoid fever there was evidenced by the gift of a handsome gold watch from those who had been his patients during that trying time— one of those times that prove the metal of which men are made. Leaving Durham, he came to Davidson and bought the Preparatory Medical School of Dr. P. B. Barringer. There were only three pupils in this school the next year, but under Doctor Munroe ' s management it grew to such an extent that in 1892 it was deemed wise to secure a charter, and it became, in spite of many obstacles and much opposition, the North Caro- lina Medical College. While the growth of this institution has not been of the mushroom kind, each year has surpassed the previous one. The unus- ually large proportion of its students who have passed the State Board and have subsequently established for themselves a successful practice in differ- ent parts of the country, proves the thoroughness of the training they have received. The new hospital at Davidson and the connection which has been established with the Presbyterian Hospital in Charlotte, thus affording the Seniors greater opportunities for practical work, are only additional proofs of the success of the present management. Nor does Doctor Munroe con- fine his efforts to the Medical College. His executive ability and business sagacity make him constantly the head of the more important business en- terprises of the community, while a politician ' s tact and enthusiasm, born of utter self-forgetfulness, have caused him to be put into many public offices. These he has filled in a way that has brought increased comfort to every cit- izen of the town and surrounding country. As a church officer, Doctor Munroe is most valuable. Elected an elder while in Durham, and still a very young man, he was re-elected to that po- sition upon re aching Davidson, and his wisdom and prudence have been of great value in the settling of every question that has arisen in this church during his connection with it. His zeal in mission work has made for his Sunday school a record for usefulness which has been equalled by few. In fact, it may be said of Doctor Munroe, that he is one of the few to whom the Lord has entrusted ten talents, and if the number of positions he has been called upon to fill and the perplexed souls whose burdens he has shared may be called usury, surely it will be said of him that he hath gained an hundred fold.
