M, M D. ,U 4 Q' C555 f 9' UFUS BENJAMIN XVEAVER, A. M., M. D., was born in Gettysburg, Pa., January ro, 1841. L vi ' 3 Having received his preliminary education in the schools of his native town, he entered the 5 University of Pennsylvania, and there received his B. A. 3 three years later he received his A. M. from the same source. In 1865, having completed a Medical Term at this institution, he had conferred upon him the degree of M. D. r During his college course his chief interest was centered in the study of Anatomy and Physiology, so for a few years following his graduation he pursued a course of Anatomical instruction under Dr. D. Hayes Agnew. At the same time he attended lectures at the University of Pennsylvania, and in 1868 matriculated at Jefferson Medical College, where he studied Clinical Medicine. From this point Dr. Weaver has been closely identified with the Hahnemann Medical College ot Philadelphia, first in the capacity of Demonstrator of Anatomy and Lecturer on Surgical Anatomy, but since Dr. A. R. Thomas' incumbency as Dean, as Professor of Applied Anatomy. His inspections of the museums in this country and abroad awakened in Dr. VVeaver an ambition to prepare a complete dissection of the human nervous system 5 acting upon this desire, he started in upon the task the following year, and after six months' continuous work, completed and mounted a dissection of the entire cerebro-spinal nervous system of a human body. No greater monument to Dr. Weaver's skill and tenacity of purpose can be imagined than this marvel of delicacy of touch and manipulative dexterity g it certainly has never been equaled in Anatomical history. Since its exhibition at the World's Fair, where it was the object of much discussion, and the recipient of the 5 highest honors, the specimen has been in the museum at the Hahnemann Medical College. It enjoys the distinction of being the only one of its kind in existence. Dr. Weaver revisited the museums of Europe in 1889, and in 1891 the Hahnemann Medical College conferred upon him its honorary degree of M. D., in recognition of his signal attainments and valuable scientific work. Among the memories that the graduate ot Old Hahnemannn holds dear, none are more sacred than the cherished recollections of Dr. Weaver, and the many delightful hours spent at his side in studying the mysteries of the human body. With him, it is a labor of love to assist the students in clearing up the com- plexities of Anatomy, and to elucidate the problems found in that greatest of mysteries-the human body. His heart is big enough to embrace the classes of the past and present, and yet leave room for those to come. To the doctor, the students are all his boys, who love him as teacher, brother and friend. wer e 6 Qaeda 'aft 'U' -Q N xarr: HR'-xQx K3 I.. r, X ..

QE' 'gtk-sfffzlfv! . . . . . . . X JL S2 VVe are making no pretensions to literary br1ll1ancy g what we offer is simply a Record of V li the College Life of a handful of youths who have worked, laughed, loafed and scrapped together for four years, and who are now emerging from the struggle older and wiser, and prepared to stag- ger along under the weight of the Old Man of the Sea that they have voluntarily taken upon their shoulders. But, our bias? alumnus may say, it's the same old story thatls been told year after year 3 surely there's nothing new under the sun. Well, Doctor, you may be right, but to the loyal son of our Alma Mater, there's nothing old under the sun. If, upon opening this book, you will turn back men1ory's pages, and recall the happy days when you laughed and sung, and filled in those long dreary lecture hours with refreshing sleep, this book will not present the same old story, but a bright new one, meaning as much to you as it does to us. One word more. If there be among our old class-mates any one who, shrouded in his new-found dignity, cannot look without distemper upon this good natured raillery-any one who cannot endure that his 7 eccentricities and foibles be set down in black and white we caution him against reading these pages. As Tristam Shandy would put it: Go, poor devil, get thee gone, why should I hurt thee? This world is surely Wide enough to hold both thee and me. But to all who love good-natured sport and honest fun-to all who Wi' merry sangs and friendly cracks, And uncoe tales, an' funnie jokes will laugh with us over the merry times we have had-to these we address our greeting. , So, boys, before opening the book to see what shafts the marksmen may have launched at us, let us say with Holmes, A health to our future-a sigh for our past g We love-we remember, we hope to the last Q And for all the base lies that the almanac hold, While we've youth in our hearts, we can never grow old. , , ,fp Wa Ny L1 ffaw gg 'milfs' sic . 1 ' QS, 6- . - A 1 'Q4.',.:Q.:ig ' -Q, ' f 05 TK lt it -4' -' or W Q-V' -lim O- U ,.'

Fig-' , CLASS HISTGRY. ,ff X 8 S AMUEL LEROY BARBER. Roy's angelic countenance appeared at Philadelphia, July 7, 1879. At the age of ten years his parents removed him to the quiet village of West Chester, that he might escape the corrupting environ- ments of the Quaker city. The change was doubtless a wise and timely one, saving him from a Wild and notorious career, as he has well-known inclinations toward such a life. Some think that the change should have been made earlier. When he entered college he was envied for his luxuriant hair, but is now a subject of pity for his alopecia. His mincing gait made him a familiar figure to all the students. HUGH BAILY BARCLAY. Hood was born November 26, 1878, at Newport, Penna., a village in the backwoods of Perry County. Suffering from anaemia in his infancy, his friends removed him to the famous chalybeate springs of Bedford, where he resided until his appearance in our midst. The iron treatment restored his vitiated blood, and he became a splendid specimen of physical manhood. Barclay would doubtless have achieved renown in the capacity of a blacksmith or farm laborer, but unfortunately for himself and humanity, the iron acted upon his nerve as well as his blood, and he chose the medical profession. Such is the irony of fate. 97 WESLEX' JOHNSON BARRETT. This joke was sprung upon the world May eo, I874, at Brandywine Square, Penna. The quietude of this hamlet proved unpleasant to this restless spirit, and he removed himself and belongings to the metropolis of Camden, N. J , where he still resides. He is a lineal descendant of the famous tragedian, and bears a marked resemblance to that character. He is noted for his youthful countenance and angelic Smile. FRANK T. BAsco1v1. This chill was ushered in june 16, 1876, at Rochester, N. Y. After graduating from the university of his native city he entered the class of IQOI at the commencement of its Sophomore year. While among us he won universal popularity by his communicative, unreserved, and affable manner. He has iridescent blonde hair, the shade varying with the market price of peroxide of hydrogen. He usually finds it necessary to adjust his hat with the aid of a shoe-horn. W11 LIAM HENRY BEATTY. Booth was born at Philadelphia, August 13. 1873. After engaging in fortyeseven other occupa tions, he entered the class of IQOI at the beginning of its second year. Of a neurotic and dyspeptic constitution, he has been carrying out the cigar and peanut treatment for the past three years. These therapeutic measures are original with Beatty, and he refuses to explain their modus oprrandi. He is noted for his distinguished appearance and deep sonorous voice. LXLBURN HALL BEWLEY, JR. Virgin was born into this vale of tears February 7, 1877, at Philadelphia. He entered college with the intention of preparing himself for general medicine, but Soon displayed a strong preference for the subject of obstetrics, which is now his specialty. He has shown unusual ability as a diagnostician, especially in the recognition of pseudo-cyesis. Virgin is also noted for his antipathy to wine and women, and his high standard of morality. He has read several papers on Virtue and Temperance. 28 fm 361 J-XS' JEL I Mk +35 WILLIAM P. LANG HAROLD E. DUNNE WILLIAM HENRY BEATTY HUGH BAILEY BARCLAY SETH W. KISTLER JAMES W. BLAcKwoon. Truthful james l' obtruded himself upon humanity September 18, 1875, at Philadelphia. ln addition to the affliction of being a medical student, he is also married and lives in New Jersey. With the exception of Posey Brown, Blackwood unquestion- ably leads our class in note taking. These notes are characterized by their legibility, and have always been in demand by those desiring complete records of the college lectures. james has always been a subject of envy for his beautiful whiskers, and large collection of hats. DAv1D PosEv BROWN. Posey H was discovered at Philadelphia, December 17, 1877. The following are the only facts worthy of mention in regard to this infant prodigy: He carries and sharpens daily IO7 lead pencils, scribbles an original system of hieroglyphics, wears a number eight hat, attends the jewish synagogue, reads the North f a f ' ,, QQ!

Any other facts of interest may be obtained at the census bureau of Philadelphia. ARCHIE D. CARPENTER. Arch was born at Mancelona, Mich., july 19, 1873. He attended lectures for several years at the University of Michigan, but finally discovered his mistake and came to the Hahnemann Medical College in time to enter the Erst class of the new century, at the beginning of its fourth year. He is a problem of too great depth to be solved in a few short months, uncoHin'd and unknown. 30 so his deeds must remain unknell'd, ,Mika Q4 rf' -WQXX, V.- JOHN A. GROSS WESLEY J. BARRETT DAVID POSEY BROWN WM. HERBERT KIRBY BENJAMIN E. MERRILL XVILLIAM PAXSON CHALFANT. CARL This youthful precocity was born on a high bluff near Oxford, Pa., March 23, 1880. The place of his birth seems to have been a powerful factor in the formation of his character and disposition, for he has always occupied a position on a high bluff while a student with us. He is the youngest member of our class, but occupies the enviable position of chief adviser and consultant to Dr. james on the subject of Gynaecology. He wears red hose, yellow shoes, and never buys cigarettes. LANE CLINE. This inflammation started May 6, 1876, at Dayton, Ohio, and spread rapidly for a period of twenty years, when it was checked by adhesions of White brain matter and effectually suppressed. While in college Skeets measured seven feet in height, weighed ninety-two pounds, and had a chest expansion of three-fourths of an inch. He was born tired, and usually occupied a recumbent position with prolapsed jaw while attending lectures. He is as gentle and docile as a lamb, and believes in the adage that children should be seen and not heard. HAROLD EDMFND DUNNE. JOHN This style came into fashion October 5, 1875, at London, England, but soon reached Philadelphia, where it has been in vogue since that time. While in college he bore the same well-known relation to his fellow-students that King Edward of England bears to his modish subjects and followers throughout the world. His most celebrated instructions were the correct length and width to wear trousers in the lecture rooms and laboratories, how to hold a cane, and the manner of protecting the nostrils from unpleasant odors while at work in the dissecting- room. DEAN ELLIOT. Dean was born August 29, 1876, at Allegheny, Penna. When he was a child he spake as a child, he understood as a child, he thought as a child g but when he became a man he put away childish things, and did not chum with Bigler. When he and his coterie got away in the Autumn of ninety- 32 THOMAS MATLACK I FRED. B. QUACKENBUSH JOHN DEAN ELLIOTT ROBERT V. WHITE WM. W. VERNER X PAUL seven, it looked as though the White horse would win by his head, but Dean proved to be the black one, and won by his neck. Under special instruction he became quite dextrous as a surgeon while in college, having several times performed the operation of trimming toe and finger nails. F. FELSBERG. After consulting the accoucheur, Felsberg decided to be born February 18, 1869, at Philadelphia. The only crime of his past life that has reached public notice, is that of having spent two years at the Medico Chirurgical College in his native city. By reason of his superior mentality his principal occupation since his connection with the class of IQOI has been that of consulting with the Faculty. When not interviewing that august body he was usually employed in rolling cigarettes. GEORGE ROBINSON FOULK. George first annoyed his neighbors July 4, 1874, at Wilmington, Del., and has followed that occupa- tion since his birth. He enjoys the distinction of having had more love affairs than any other member of his class, not excepting the married contingent. He firmly believes that it is better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all. His great popularity with the feminine sex is not due to his winning disposition alone, but to his handsome person. He is a regular visitor at the studios of his native city and Philadelphia, and has posed for the most celebrated artists there. He is of the true Saxon type, but decidedly Irish in his tendencies. EDWIN ARCH ER GERHART. Eddie was born at Colorado Springs, Col., May 5, 1879, but has resided at Philadelphia since his infancy. This is the only fact obtainable for his biography previous to his entrance to college. He is a worthy disciple of Sherlock Holmes, and proved his claim thereto on numerous occasions while a student with ns. His most celebrated case was detecting a patient's employment in a match factory from the single objective symptom of phosphaturia. He is said to have possessed great influence with the Faculty, which may account for his omission of the Freshman year. No other reason for the latter fact can possibly be advanced. 34 l S.

Goss, M.D. A This Senior recruit was born at Brenham, Texas, March 27, 1877, and is now a resident of Houston He came under our observation too late to discover either his sins or virtues, though we believe that he possesses a liberal share of both. In appearance he is a true son of the South, but is much tamer than our other Texas representative. ATKINS GROSS. Kaiser Wilhelni der Grosse A' was born at Truro, Barnstable County, Mass., about sixty years ago After successively following the vocations of fisherman, contractor, soldier and farmer, he tinally awoke to the fact that his real mission in life was medicine. Here, too, his wandering proclivities manifested themselves, and he spent one year respectively in medical institutions at San Francisco, Chicago and New York, before recognizing the necessity of attending the Hahnemann Medical College of Phila delphia. As a student Gross is second to no one, and his answers are usually of the nature of ten minute discourses. DAVID HARDIE. JOHN Age and residence unknown. Dave says he doesn't know, so of course we don't either. He looks to be about twenty-five years of age, but this is obviously incorrect after adding together the number of years alleged to have been spent in various occupations and professions. By this method of reasoning we must place his age at fifty-seven. His chief employments are spinning yarns and attending pugilistic contests in company with Buck Sharp. A. HOFFMAN. Now it came to pass that on the twenty-seventh day of the eleventh month of the one thousand eight hundred and seventy-third year, John occurred at Biglerville, Pa. . And behold he had neither red necktie nor yellow shoes, neither could he bray. But the child 36 M 7 will 6 fi r X XXX, N 'll KW X . ,,. X L'gg1w,,.:7 .

NORRIS HOWARD TERRY, JR. DAVID HARDIE grew and waxed strong, and straightway purchased these ornaments. Verily I say unto you that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like john. And it came to pass that after dwelling a few years at Normal School, he came to medical college to bray, and his class-mates were astonished at his doctrine, for he taught them as one having authority, and not as a student. BRADLEY H. HOKE. Bradley awoke to the discomforts of life, December 8, 1871, at Frederick, Md., but soon fell asleep again. He lives in a state of subliminal consciousness, and takes note of nothing. This is all we know. We never saw him do anything, and we do not know any person who ever did. Hence nothing more will be said, as this history is strictly truthful and authentic. Selah. DoNALD B. HOLLOXVAY. He resides at Washington, D. C. This is absolutely all the data we can obtain from him. He refuses to disclose his age, and we are unable to guess it. His appearance would lead us to estimate it at twenty-five, his deportment at sixteen. In recitation he has an ever-ready response, though his answers are sometimes in error. He has a strong preference for the subject of Ophthalmology, and was the recipient of several private lectures from Dr. Thomas. WILLIAM WARD INs1.Ex'. Bill was first mustered into service at Pittsburg, Pa., March 21, 1877. His comrades in this enlistment were tin soldiersg his implements of war, wooden guns and toy pistols. These martial environments of his youth fostered a desire for real warfare, and he left college after his Freshman year to aid in the conquest of the Philippine Islands. For the account of his adventures there we respectfully refer all those who may be interested to Bill himself. We haven't time enough to write even the introduction. 38 LFP sf ARCHIE D. CARPENTER WILLARD G. PALMER JOHN A. HOFFMAN PHILLIP LLOYD POLLOCK GEORGE R FOULK HOWARD DYSART KESSLER. This wonder came to light June 18, 1876, at Altoona, Pa. We don't know anything about this city, but haven't a very high opinion of the same if Kess is the average production. It is said that he possesses some literary talent,--that is Kess says he does,-and aspires to future recognition as a man of letters. However, if he doesn't make a success at medicine, we advise him to try farming. He usually sat alone in the lecture rooms, as he was a confirmed paranoic on obtaining knee-jerks, and no respecter of persons, rheumatic or otherwise. He was a well-known figure about the college, having a large head,-objective and subjective,-long legs, and a heavy sandy moustache. u HERBERT XVILLIAM K1RBx'. SETH JOHN 'Erbert was born November 23, 1875, at VVigan, Lancaster, England. His past is unknown to us, but we suspect that his early life was spent under the tutorship of some money-lender or pawn-broker in his native country. For three years he championed the cause of our collegiate Y. M. C. A. against great opposition, but the rough house element finally conquered, and he retired in favor of the Pharmaceutical laboratory. His greatest friend is Matticeg principal occupation, selling booksg favorite literary character, Shylock. W. KISTLER. This medical anomaly Erst saw the light of day September 27, 1873, at Kempton, Pa., an Irish settle- ment in Berks County. During the four years of his college life Kiss manifested his allegiance to Homoeopathy by conducting provings of Allium Cepa and Sour Krout upon his fellow-students, at the nominal rate of three dollars per week. He has the festinating gait of paralysis agitans, though he does not suffer from that disease. His principal accomplishments are sleeping, sleeping and sleeping. HENRY' KREIDER. Dutch partook of his first meal of sour krout August 17, 1870, at Jonestown, Lebanon Co., Pa. Although unable to speak English he secured a lucrative court position in his native county through 40 WILLIAM F. SATCHELL OTIS D. STICKNEY FRANK T. BASCOM ABNER P. WAY JAS. B. MACGREGOR the influence of Senator Quay. After laboring for a few years in this capacity, he appointed his deputy and entered college. In order that he might still further increase his income, he u secured an appointment to the Philadelphia police force, on which he serves at night, in order that his college duties may wt u, Np !i 5 3 QQ not be interfered with. He has secured several college K K S-J Mx' honors, among which is the distinction of having been the J' only man to secure an average of Ioo per cent. in histoloy. X 73 WILLIADI P. LANG.

As a student he took great interest in the 2' repair and cleansing of the college building, and often aided in scrubbing it by obviating the necessity of using water. In these salivary contributions Pete was usually assisted by Hermann Schlitzf' There are a number of other interesting facts that we would like to chronicle if space and time would permit, for Lang soitinly is a wonder. EDWARD C. LESLIE. , Ed was born at Driftwood, Pa., March 14, 1878. We are unable to give any other details in regard to his birth-place, as it does not appear on the map. His present residence is Pittsburg, though no one would suspect it from his immaculate linen and perfect complexion. He has an utter abhor- rence of draughts, and usually sat in the lecture rooms with upturned collar and covered head. Dr. Bartlett being unacquainted with the facts of the case, requested the removal of his hat on several occasions, and added some friendly advice on the subject of lecture room etiquette. As an affable character he stands on a par with Bascom. 42 EDWARD C- LESLIE JOHN R. SHARP CHAS. C. SHEPARD WILLIAM P. CHALFANT HOWARD D. KESSLER JAMES B. MCGREGER. Mac was born at Clinton, Iowa, September 14, 1871. After wrestling himself into prominence there, he took up an abode at Pueblo, Col., as hiswnative village could not afford him a sufficient number of victims. His principal accomplishments while attending college were early rising, studying and courting nurses. WILLIAM MCKENZIE. This indolent ulcer appeared june 7, 1878, at Conshohocken, Pa., and has most effectually resisted all treatment upto the present time. His principal occupations while attending college were smoking cigarettes and supporting Pop Dunn's cigar case. Like' Bill Lang he does not believe in barbers, and only frequents their parlors at long intervals. He has always been noted for his ready and accurate replies in recitation. ROBERT JOHN MCNISILL. Bob was bor11 at Falls of Schuylkill, Pa., October 23, 1876, but now shares the miseries of Ger- mantown with Scatchard. He asserts that he is a self-made man, but we are inclined to doubt that fact after all observation covering a period of three years. At any rate the job was interrupted before its completion. Bob is celebrated for his modesty, which attribute prevented hi'n from obtaining many positions of honor among his class-mates. He is greatly interested in college improvements, and is at present laboring to have its standard changed from gold and blue ribbon to red tape. THOMAS MATLAC1-1. This commodity was thrust upon the market October 4, 1874, at Philadelphia. While still a child his piping voice won him great renown, and he became connected with a prominent church choir, and joined numerous singing societies. These arduous duties tapped the fountain of his health and drained away his strength, compelled him to forsake these joints or sink into the grave. Having a strong bent for the subject of medicine he entered our class and soon elbowed his way to a position among its leaders. It has leaked out that he has a lead pipe cinch on the residency of the Children's hospital. 44 55s -15'-. 'fi' CHAS. DUDLEY LANE CHARLES WlNFIE D PE LYLLBURN HALL BEWLEY, JR CLAUDE L.

BENJAMIN EUGENE MERRILL. Ben did his first kicking March 4, 1871, at Hanover, N. H. This congenital activity has persisted to the present time, and has produced a slight degree of genu varuni. He is a true representative of the tena- cious Yankee, and is proud of it. As aworthy advocate of Hahnemannian Homoeopathy he eschews modern surgery, though he is an ardent believer in osteoclasis He enjoys the distinction of being the champion whistler of our class. CLARENCE A. NoRR1s. Pus was born at Manasquan, N. J., November 3, 1877. Like Quackenbush and Barrett, he was formerly a student of pharmacy, but discovered his mistake in time to make ample reparation by studying Homoeopathy. He is fervent in his praise of New School therapeutics, having successfully applied the Aurum Metallicum Cure in the treat- ment of paralytic attacks, of which he was a sufferer during his early 'wr l jlkv Tj., ,' ' 1, '12 A f .1 U YXNN !,I' ff Q! ff W Z 5 SZ !

Being a congenital habit, he has shown no disposition to break it, but has caused it to be acquired by several fellow students. We have never been able to discover any benefits resulting from this unfortunate custom 46 ... t fr ,fi ' ' Ao . L LE ROY WALKER JOHN KREIDER CARL L. CLINE DEMETRIUS VICHANOFF BRADLEY HOKE In physical appearance he resembles Skeets Cline, though his head is a trifle larger. Nothing can be said about his voice, as no one ever heard him speak. His principal characteristic is a peculiar spastic gait. CHARLES WINFIELD PERKINS. . This verdant creature was handed to the nurse February 17, 1878, at Chester, Pa. In his youth he gave great promise of attaining notoriety as a Nimrod by lassoing bean-poles, shooting pet stock, and fishing from post-holes in his native village. Perl-:'s sportsman propensities clung to him after entering medical college, and accompanied by Stickney, he sought greater game in the wilds of the Maine woods during the Summer vacation of nineteen hundred. He alleges that he shot a deer while there, and olfers as evidence a mule-skin with a perforation near the spinal column, and one hundred and eighty-three photographs-taken by himself-showing the whole affair, from the sighting of the deer to the flaying of the mule. It is stated from reliable authority that these photographs are being arranged for the kinetoscope, to be used in Perkins' home in the entertainment of his guests. Perk is noted for his beautiful voice and graceful form. PHILLIP LLOYD POLLOCK.

FREDERICK BRIGGS QUACKENBUSH. -, This celebrity celebrated his first holiday January I, 1867, at Penn Yan, N. Y. After getting married and studying pharmacy, Quack finally awoke to the realities of life, and became a student of Homoeopathy. He has given great promise of becoming a surgeon, having been the first person to introduce and successfully use the periosteal elevator in the operation for phimosis. He uses hair tonics, Wears pointed shoes, and smokes Turkish cigarettes. WILLIAM BURCHARD ROBERTS. Big Bill was born May 19, 1875, at Lacon, Ill. After studying a few years at the University of Minnesota, he discovered his mistake, and came to the Hahnemann Medical College of Philadelphia at the beginning of our junior year. That he is well qualified to practice medicine from an ethical standpoint, is evidenced by his inhibiting influence on the wild and notorious Way. He will always be remembered for his high tenor voice and dignified manner. WILLIAM FORRESTER SATCHELL. Bill first saw the light of day at Hatsboro, Pa., june 12, 1876. Although the son of a Methodist clergyman, he does not represent the classical type, having broken the popular tradition by living a just and moral life. This is in no respect to be considered as a jest, for we had the facts from Bill himself. He is extremely modest, especially when requested to sing or play, which fact kept him in more or less obscurity throughout his college course. It was necessary to be introduced to him at the beginning of each college year, on account of the great changes in his appearance. As a Fresh- man he was smooth-faced, for his second year grew a moustache: then a Vandyke, and, as a final cosmetic effect, created a beard with a median raphe. His condition of alopecia is doubtless due to these repeated labors, as he was not married until the middle of his Senior year. 49 CH ARLES DUDLEY SAUL. L' Dud was born in the home of his uncle at Philadelphia, january 25, 1880. Although possessing the blessing of a good home, he spends most of his time with this relative, doubtless because of the pleasures and associations of his birth-place. He has always been noted for his intermittent display of jewelry and other valuables, his large collection of cravats, and cleanly-shaven face. A singular coincidence is worthy of mention in Dud's 5,,, 7' ' Q 1 1 l f s 4,,,. . i A ' Xl off . x. .1 ll v nb!! 1' n ,ag I ,1- R , ix fs lui ii:-It X YQ x V - 'U YW' I Q 1, 'J 85' , A i l ' ' i i f, it , ,, - ff brief biography.

'N ' 1,7 N This Zephyr was fanned into life at Germantown, Pa., April 15, l 4 pi 'V 34 , f 5 - 1876. It is said that Scatch was a fine and healthy baby, i K tipping the scales at twelve pounds, but as a result of an intensely neurotic constitution, his avoirdu- pois has been steadily decreasing since his birth. His capacity for hard, conscientious work is evidenced by the alacrity with which he published the numbers of the lnslzlufe, having never been known to delay the publication of any one copy more than three months. If the Class of 1901 possesses a more unseliish, or less imposed-upon character than our class poet, we have misjudged the popular sentiment of its members. H1 RMAN SAMVEL ScH1'1.z. Schlitz was born at Rochester, N. Y., December 31, 1879. Wlien he came to college he could make more noise than a nail-foundry, but thanks to the inhibiting influence of Norris, he was trans- formed to a being of silence. He is never heard from now, save by the rhythmical splashing incident to tobaccum provings, which he constantly conducts. Here is the automobile story which caused the temporary estrangement of the above-mentioned characters. Schulz told Norris that his QSchulz'sj 50 JOHN lady friend had told him CSchulzj that Norris had told her that Schulz had told him fNorrisj that he CSchulzj would take her an automobile ride. Whether this ride took place or not we do not know, but if Schlitz really said this, we think that it is his bounden duty to fulfill his promise, as we know that he possesses such a vehicle. R. SHARP. Buck was born at Philadelphia, October 3, 1876. just what engaged his attention from the time of his birth to his entrance to college is not known, but he evidently had some experience as a sport, for he soon established the reputa- tion of being the champion coin matcher, crap thrower, and card player of the college. His usual habiliments consisted igjxj R. ..- U J , ' K-af f,C.- by A' 1 '1 X 'uf . : ex i W iii. 2 it We of a braided suit with low cut vest and broad trousers, a brown derby hat, and a broad-striped shirt, in which was inserted a large Montana diamond. When not engaged in study at his home he was usually to be seen in the company of Dave Hardie, at the Arena or Industrial Hall, witnessing a pugilistic contest. CHARLES C. SHEPARD. Pop was born at Oberlin, Ohio, about forty years ago. We haven't time to enumerate the occupa- tions of his past life, but they were many and varied. His last vocation before entering upon the study of Medicine was that of cow-boy, and we have heard it rumored that he counted the original Alkali Ike among his companions. However, as a student he has been pre-eminently a peaceful character, most of his time being occupied in smoking an embryonic pipe and sleeping. His appear- ance and physical dimensions are identical with Cline's, plus a scragged beard. 0T1s D. STICKNEY. Stick made his 'first complaint November 18, 1878, at Camden, N. J. As soon as he became intelligent enough to discover the nature of his surroundings, he removed to Philadelphia. For the SI account of one of the most important incidents of his life, the reader is respectfully referred to the biography of C. W. Perkins. His greatest desire is to raise a beard, this desire emanating from the following unfortunate episode. Calling upon a certain patient in an obstetrical capacity, he was greeted at the door by the husband of his intended victim, who, upon learning of his designs, straight- way delivered him precipitately into the street, with the friendly admonition to send his father to attend the case. Stick reported the case as follows : Head presentation. Version and delivery by breech. Precipitate labor. Fracture of the coccyx. Duration of first stage, eight seconds. Second stage, absent. Third stage, absent. HOWARD TERRY, JR. This smile smiled its first smile October 3, 1876, at Philadelphia, and has been smiling continuously ever since. This statement is slightly in error, for he has been known to desist from this habit spasm on several occaslons in order that he might whistle on the cap of his fountain-pen, or sing a few numbers with the Glee Club. That he really suffers from hair-spring smiling is evidenced by the fact that he indulges in this habit when listening to the jokes re'ated by C. Perkins. CLA1 DE LEROY THoMAs. Tommy was born at Hanover, Pa., November 25, 1873. His cumbersome form took the upper hand at birth and maintained it throughout life, so we have no history to relate. He is Business Manager of the luslilule, but business is dull, and we are again without facts, facts in this instance being the I1zs!z'luz'e itself. THOMAS LEONARD THOMSON. This hyperaemic countenance was discovered June 20, 1872, at Bovina, N. Y., and soon covered itself with a beard. No roast is applicable to such a-spotless character, being in popular parlance, all to the good. Although a man of much college education, he is an authority on farm implements and their manipulation. In an argument he can endure much opposition, having dwelt two years with Ben Merrill. 52 ALEXANDER L. VER NER. Al was born at Allegheny, Pa., March 5, 1879. We imagine that his early training took place in a gymnasium, judging by the physical prowess he displayed in the rushes of our early college days. As a Uscrapper he has no superiors, not excepting Sharp or Hardie. During a part of his college life he found it necessary to wear dark glasses, Al says because of weakness, but others allege to conceal the downward position of his eyes in certain recitations requiring the aid of a manuscript. WILLIAM W. VERNER. Silent Bill was born at Pittsburg, Pa., November 7, 1875. After a few months of medical study he departed for Alaska. We didn't know Bill before his residence i11 that bleak country, but we suspect that the temperature there exercised a powerful influence in the formation of the disposition we found him possessed of at the beginning of our Sophomore year. It is a mystery to us why he ever took up the profession of medicine, as he is an absolute authority on yachts and yachting, and could doubtless secure the cup in a national contest. DEMETRIUS ELIAS CONSTANSTINSTINZCIAS V1sHANoF1f. Stingciasn donned his first pair of Congress gaiters December 13, 1873, at Macedonia, in Thessa- lonica, Europe. What he did before his appearance at our college is not known, but he came there a most brilliant and versatile man, and won for himself many honors as a student. He believes in viewing a surgical operation from every possible position, and consequently occupied many different seats while attending the clinics, even changing several times during the course of a single operation. Although not a legal quaesitor, his principal business is asking questions. LERov I. WALKER. Ikey was born at Philadelphia, September II, 1878, and still resides there. This is about all we know of him, except that he attends the same religious services as Posey Brown, and not out of curiosity either. He belongs to the silent contingent and never says anything-at least we never 53 heard him speak. In his future practice he will doubtless prescribe on objective phenomena alone, or employ the services of an interlocutor. ABNER PUGH WAY. Abner was born at West Chester, Pa., about twenty-live years ago. but left that village when he learned of Barber's intention of locating there. The only other fact we know about Way is that he wears medals for championshlp sprinting. It has been observed that a number of his companions have developed a limp, which is said to be due to leg-pulling, but we cannot certify to this explanation. ROBERT VANDENBERC- WHITE. Bob was loaned to mankind August 28, 1876, at Scranton, Pa. We Wish him a long life, but will not be surprised if Heaven reclaims him soon, as the interest has fallen greatly in arrears during the past three years. As a student he was a man of high scholarship and great popularity with the student body, having occupied many positions of honor. Of aristocratic lineage he is eminently a gentleman, and possessed a valet in the person of Skeets Cline. DR. VVHITEHEAD. That's all We know-his name. He is about tive feet in height, weighs about two hundred pounds, wears a G. A. R. suit, and never takes notes.

Vile can boast of one swell-it's our stylish dress model- The only Beau Brummel of Nineteen-ought-oneg Who dines a la rarie while the rest grab free lunches, And delights in the cognomen, Harold E.

Now here's a strange beast from the jungles of jersey 3 Has the face Hippocratic-interferes in his walk 5 It's Barret, the Sophist-he has but two failings : He talks in his sleep, and he sleeps in his talk. 60 When you see the boys scatter and turn up their trousers, And cover their note-books, I think you'll admit That they show their good judgment in taking precautions To get out of the wet-for Bill Lang's going to spit. If you know a good joke or a line racy story, Try to spring it on Bascom 3 he'll stare for awhile, And then, while caressing his straw-colored tresses, He'll calmly walk on without cracking a smile. Lillie Bewley, mind not if I let out your secret-- The secret you've cherished so close to your heart- You've lost your one treasure-don't try to deny it, For the fellows all knew when you got your Hrst start. There's a strong western breeze blowing all through the college, And it spreads some weird stories-of course they're all gaff- About wearing gold medals for being a wrestler g It's MacGregor, the blonde with the rapid-tire laugh. Poor Pegasus stumbles I I look for a reason, And find it to be a collection of fat g It's Palmer-the Sphinx of the Vine Street contingent, Whose cranium calls for a number ten hat. I'd call to your notice, our sailor, Dave Hardie 3 Whose keenest delight is to hear himself talk g Had he ever bucked up against old Ananias With one of his tales, he'd have won in a walk. 61 ?uJ Here's S. Le Roy Barber. Well. what's in a name? So pretty a boy doesn't care what he's called 5 His objects in life are to show off his dimples, And to cover the fact that he's surely going bald.

Some day between lectures, just stroll through the lunch-rooni, And there, with a far-away look in his eyes, You'll find Captain Insley impressing the Freshmen By his endless collection of Philippine lies. 03 Here's a typical entry in Ben Merrill's journal : 4 A. M.-Started studying, one hour late 3 At noon I took live minutes off for my luncheon 3 And at midnight-stopped grinding. Ah, college life's great! The Muse again falters-then comes to a standstill g A deaf and dumb man ! she exclaims, with a groan. Then she picks up her pen and inscribes on her tablets : Dr. KValker, the Rabbi : further details unknown. Jack Sharp as a scrapper is meeting all comers, Qlf We wish to believe all he tells to the boys,j But remember the proverb that covers his failings 1 It's the emptiest hogsheads that make the most noise. When the Lord gave out nerve, Dr. Felsburg came running, Pushed his neighbors aside, and received for his pains Thrice as much as the rest, as a small compensation For having gone shy on his portion of brains. A splutter-a sizzle-a volley of noises- A gulp-then itls over. You'll not be to blame If you don't know the source of this awful commotion g For it's Yishanoff telling his full Christian name ! It's astounding to see what four years will accomplish In developing brain in a raw country-man: Think of Elliott-the Freshman-the verdant Pittsburgher- And look at him now, since he's studied with Van. 64 Of conceit, Dr. Halloway's share is prodigious, And of nerve he can boast of a liberal supply 1 While his brains were dispensed in a high trituration He has swiped for his motto: The State, it is I. A pun on a name is beyond all redemption, And I know it's cheap wit, but I'm tempted to say, From the warmth of his friendship with Lanky Bill Roberts, That where there's a Will, there is always A. Way. A mighty right tackleg a whirlwind at boxing- In fact, as an athlete, this man's quite the thing 2 But should all these seem slow and you Want something swifter just observe A. L. Verner ride ponies this Spring. Here's D. Posey Brown-an exemplary student, As the notes that he jabs in his books will attest 3 But to wade onels way through them takes eyes even sharper, Than the three dozen pencils he wears in his vest. Billy Roberts has ruined his room-mates completely, For at times Blondie Bascom becomes less sedate, As for Way, he's forgotten his Sophomore virtues, And even poor Tommie is dropping his weight. When we saw this man coming, we all tried to lose him 3 You'1l understand why if you'll just take a look. It's Otis D. Stickney 3 he either talked 'K hunting 'l Or touched us for five to help pay for this book. 65 And here's old Pud Norris 3 he shows his poor judgment- First, in the number of stumps that he shoots q And again in selecting Dutch Schlitz for companion, Which necessitates going 'round their room in gum boots. Mysterious Hoke l just observe him in lectures, Not a note does he write-not a scratch of the pen, But sits in a trance. 'When the bell rings, he murmurs : You have waked me too soon gl' then he slumbers again. A face now appears wreathed in Lazarus whiskers, That were grown in New Jersey 3 what fate could be worse? The student that sports 'em delights in the title Of Dr. james Blackwood--Bill Chalfant's wet-nurse.

NE day last winter I mixed together some Belladonna, Hyoscyamus and Opium and, to make a proving, I took a dose of the mixture. The details of that proving I will now present to you. Soon after taking the medicine I became delirious, and in my delirium the future life of many of our class passed in review before me. ' The first person to appear was Dr. Satchell. You all remember Bill and the papers he wrote for the State. Society. After leaving college, Bill started to work up a practice in G. If, and soon became noted in his specialty. In fact. it was not long before that greatest of all leaders in Bills kind of work-Dr. Lobb-made overtures to have Bill come in with him. This proposition was accepted, but the result turned out to be a bitter blow to Lobb 3 for soon the well known sign, which had greeted us at every turn, was changed to : When all others fail, try Dr. Satchellf' Hoffman was next. Hofiie' went headlong into practice when he left college, but found something lacking. He had plenty of chances to display his great medical skill, but none for the most noted of all his talents-speech making. Think of Hotiie, whose question is beyond ability, not able to make a speech I One might as well try to think of Hoke not able to take notes I About this time Kirby made john a propo- sition which helped him out of his dilemma g it was that they become missionaries. So Kirby and the autliur of Come let us reason together, took up their great work amongst the heathen. Hoffinan soon became famous among the savages but mainly, I hear, on account of his neckties. 75 Seth Kistler's is a case which is puzzling our most eminent nerve specialist, Dr. Felsberg. When Seth was in college he was known far and wide as a sleeper, as was shown when Dr. Van Lennep one day asked me who that Irishman with the pronounced brogue was. You mean Kistler ? Yes, that's the manf' said Van. W'ell he is the best four-thirty to five-thirty sleeper I ever saw. Seth kept getting worse and worse until now he seldom wakens, except when a new heir appears to do him honor. Another unfortunate case is that of Al Verne-rg in to Texas and, although it would have been exciting enough fact Al's is the saddest case of all. We all knew Al and 7' Q liked him, and no one ever suspected what was lurking under ' XA a calm exterior until our Senior year, when A1 first became i If 7 fi i violent. How well we remember the beginning of his down- f l fall, the night he invented the Kero-Kiro cheer. We 'Jil 6 U V ggi wtf.. ,V if Wx? tried to keep that incident a secret, but the Insane Board W ,gf pi. U .V ' -5 1 -.i NI heard of it and immediately sent him to Norristown where I , X6 'lf . il -.,,f il . . . li: f . - he has since resided. Poor Al! His great amusement ,I ,I now is leading this cheer: Kero ! Kiro! Kerner I Here-'s in 3.4.7, ii three cheers for A. L. Verner l it I will! . Pollock and Saul next came up and they certainly lil. have had a kaleidoscopic history. First Polly went back 3-la 1, iii , -- 7.,.-.. -- for most of us there, Polly fou11d it pretty slow after his college life. Dudley stayed in Philadelphia but felt lost without Polly. The result was, they gathered together all of their earthly possessions and Went to New York to see what they could do. After much maneuvering they succeeded in buying Weber and Field's theatre and changed the name to Pollock and Saul's Streets of Cairo. Any time you go there you can see Dud outside scalping tickets, and the leading lady, La Fatimaf' will on close inspection turn out to be Polly. They are loyal to their class- mates and have several of them in their show. Beatty is head comedian, and his witty sallies and original grimaces and contortions call forth thunders of applause. Bill Verner, who discovered so many gold mines 76 in the Klondyke, and who, after graduating, spent three years j T ! 3: eating snow balls and rubber shoes, freezing, practicing medicine ' 'I and hunting for the North Pole, also has a place in the show. 5, if li He has a platform to, himself and delivers hourly lectures on The S 4 Grandeurs of the Frozen North.

Lyllburn Hall Bewley, jr., Virgin Queen of Igor, then , ' came into my dreams. W'hat dreams I had about him! Well! fwf ll VVell! Some thin s are better left unsaid. However, here is a yrrlle. Paftv g ' brief resume. Bewley started or rather kept up the specialty in ' which he shone so brilliantly early in our course. Now he has reached the eminent and famous position of Chief Obstetrician to the Atlantic City Old Ladies' Horne. I can also state authoritatively that the report that Bewl had lost that priceless possession of his, is untrue, on the contrary, he has it tightly locked up in the safety deposit vault. Bob Wliite and Jack Sharp, doctors and politicians, next approached me. I did not need to ask them if they had succeeded, for one look answered yes. There they stood, the admired of all admirers, pulling big segars, -large diamonds sparkling on their manly chests which were covered by broad striped shirts, heavy checked suits, hats tipped on the sides of their heads, and in the background a gang of ward heelers 77 completed the picture. I knew that politics could be made successful, but even then could hardly account for all their finery, so I asked them if there was not something more. Oh yes ! said Bob, I supply hot-air to the Public buildings, and what is left over I sell to the high bidders and that keeps the wolf from the door ! Jack didn't speak up so lively, but after giving me a mysterious wink said, Do you remember the lunch room in Sophomore year, where we used to roll the bones ? Well, I'm in the same business now. Come around sometime and take a chance, itis an easy game. They are now aldermen in de t'ird ward. I was then alarmed at seeing a couple of figures clad in buckskins, moccasins on their feet, bows and arrows in their hands and their bronzed faces nearly covered with war paint, approaching, What's the matter, I thought. Am I mixed up with the Carlisle Indian School ? But no ! For upon their nearer approach I discovered them to be Perkins and Stickney. They explained that they had once gone deer hunting in Maine, and had become so infatuated with the sport, that, after finishing college, they Went for the wild and woolly West to keep up their hunting. One night they were captured by a band of Indians, who were so pleased with their appearance, especially with that of Perkins, that they adopted them and made them the Medicine Men of the Tribe. Bob McNeill, the smoothest of the smooth, was next introduced and with him came his side partner, Scatchard. All of us know how popular Bob was with the ladies when he was in college. After his graduation they swarmed about him, he could not get away from them, so finally he decided to open a Young Lady's Seminary to give them all a chance to be near him and see him often. Scatchard gained by Bob's popularity, although Scatch is no mean article himself when it comes to winning them out,'i for he has built up a large trade under the following title :- f',llI'Z'61l'U7' I0 Tlzf IC. ,l'l1'fA'e1'!! Srlzool 'fin' Lou' .Slffk Kllaiffczzs. EDWARD HARRIS SCATCHARD, LADIES' Tairou. 78 Bill Insley, the soldier, has had a wonderful career. We all know how Bill loved the army, and how he would spend hours telling of his fights and experiences in the Philippines. After getting his degree, he decided that he must have more war-not that he was naturally blood-thirsty, but he loved the work. As our army had nothing in view which was exciting enough for him, he looked around to find some fun. Finally he accepted a commission in the army of one of the South American countries. For some reason there was no revolution going 011 just at this time, so Bill started one and placed himself at the head of it. With his usual success and vigor, Bill pushed it through to a grand victory, whereupon nothing less than making him King would suit the people. So Bill now rules the country with an iron hand but well beloved by his loyal subjects. Long live William I, Unser Bill ! Herman Schulz had some hard luck, but came out of it pretty well in the end. Dutch was always a hard worker in college, but he felt that, to round out and perfect his medical education, he should take a course abroad. So he packed his things and started for the Fatherland, with joy in his heart and high expectations for the future. Schlitz had planned just how he would spend his time, where and what he would study, and was ready to get to work at once. But alas and alack! Man proposes but God disposes. Dutch had not been on German soil twenty-four hours before he was spotted by the officials, who forced him to enlist in the army. Dutch protested and fought, declaring he was a citizen of the United States, but all in vain. He couldn't fool the Kaiser and his men, so was forced to serve three years, as all good Germans should. This nearly broke his heart and tqok all thoughts of medicine completely out of his head. When he had finished his term of enlistment, he started an inn, married a little German girl and settled down to enjoy life. The last seen of Hermann he was large and corpulent, smiling contentedly as he smoked a long stemmed pipe and watched the happy group of his children playing in the road in front of his inn. Blackwood, the jerseyite, is still the same handsome, smiling Blackie of our college days. For a man of Blackie's habits and natural tendencies, the specialty of Hydrotherapy opened up an easy and interesting way to fame, which he has followed. And now Blackie is a leader among the Homeopathic physicians of Haddonfield, New jersey. Chalfant has taken up a science which, although it was not taught in Hahnemann, he studied 79 diligently while in college. How natural it was to see Challie walk in-his approach heralded by his vest- make himself comfortable and then forget this mundane sphere. I often used to wonder where his mind went during those long lecture hours, and only found out lately when I saw the following advertisement in the paper : TRANCE-CLAIRVDYAN T. Prof. W. P. CHALFANT, Ax1i.1ucA's oRiaATEs'1' AND Pl-lILAllliLPHlA'S FAVORITIQ Advice on Business, Speculation, Love, Courtship, Marriage and Divorce. 4--Q o- -o o--Q ISL! ISL' ISLI 0---o ci-0 0--0 Hours-io a.m, to 6p.m daily. Sunday-io to 4. The star of our class, Fred Quackenbush, who used to wear a halo while attending college, has left medicine or at least has stopped prescribing it, and has gone back to his first profession, that of filling other men's prescriptions. Any liot day you can see Quack behind his counter dishing out soda water, while in the winter he spends his time making up Homoeopathic Specifics for common ailments, such as Quacken- bush's Favorite Corn Cure 3 Fred's I. X. L. Beard Grower g The Wizard Brain Stimulant-which, by the way, was first proved by Al Verner. He has also written several books, among them being: Marks I Have Made, Exams I have Passed, How I Always led the Bunch 5 etc. A few of the fellows drifted into athletics for a living. Dave Hardie, 1o8 pound Champion of the World, is probably the best known pngilist in the country 3 his ability is shown in a clipping from to-day's paper which reads as follows : Terry McGovern, the Brooklyn Wonder, this morning handed the following to a Press reporter : In regard to my coming encounter with Dave Hardie, the Homoeopathic Whirlwind, I acknowledge him much my superior, and hereby forfeit to him the title of Champion of the World. Signed, TERRY MCGOVERN. 83 Dave is certainly able to take care of himself, either with his fists or with his mouth when it comes to a talking match. It is said that much of his success is due to Harold Dunne, the walking fashion plate, who sits in Dave's corner during all his matches and projects his astral body through Dave's sub-liminal space to the fighters subjective mind, and thus by mental telepathy coaches Dave on to victory. Although Hardie is at the top of the heap in boxing, he has none the best of McGregor, who stands at the head of the list of wrestlers. Many, many times has Mac been forced to bow his curly head of blond hair to the plaudits of multitudes, as he has tossed over man after man on his upward march to the proud title of undisputed champion, which he now enjoys. Gerhart also took up athletics, but his stunt was the developing of his well-known ability as a foot- ball player. Gerry could not resist the offer of a liberal salary from the University of Pennsylvania to play upon its team. So he entered that college and took a special course, which consisted of strict attendance at the training table, and twelve lectures per Week upon football, by George Woodruff. Those famous dashes and tackles of his are still the talk of the town. On the stage we have a representative in our leading singer, whose sweet voice we can still almost hear. The following from the Philadelphia ff6'llI explains itself : Signor Terre, the boy baritone, last night delighted a large and fashionable audience at the Trocadero with those charming ballads, Mary had a little Lamb, and We'll sing of Lydia Pinkhamf' As an encore he sang the latest addition to his repertoire, The Friar of Great Renownf' S. Le Roy Barber followed Dermatology as his favorite work. Le Roy always attended Dr. Gramm's lectures and paid strict attention to them. That he profited inuch by them was shown in those pretty pink cheeks of his. They are still his pride and joy, and little Wonder, for with them and his wavy black locks he has crushed the heart of many a fair maiden. By this time my delirium was getting violent g things were happening so fast I could scarcely remem- ber them, and when I was through with Skeeter Cline, the traveling spare rib, I could only remember small dashes of the appearances and stories of the men following him. But here is Cline's, who dashed by me in a cab dressed in his pajamas. Skinny when in college, showed early signs of degeneracy, as was apparent from his gray hair and arcus senilis which were even then present. After leaving college, Skeeter organized 81 a Phthisical Club and easily gained the Presidency on his phosphorus cough. But that was only the beginning of his downfall, as he now makes his living going from one medical college to another, exhibiting himself as a horrible example of the cocaine habit. Poor old Skeet! His is certainly a history to bring tears to the eyes of the strongest. After Cline came many others, but they are mostly a blur g among them were Kreider, the Hy cop, who is now Chief of Police of Jonestown, Pa., and every evening at five o'clock the people of the town turn out to watch John Henry drill his force, which consists of one man 3 Palmer, who is still noted for the noise he makes 5 Hughey Barclay, who has graduated from the Y. M. C. A. and is now a captain in the Salvation Army, Holloway, who is still working on that old argument of his Whether he made God, or God made him 5 Merrill, the exponent of osteoclasis, Thomas, the dime museum fat man, and Felsberg, the author, whose best known work is probably, How It Feels To Be the Whole Thing. Last, but not least, came Pete Lang, far famed for his wonderful cures with pure homoeopathic medicines. As Pete passed he slipped one dose of the well indicated remedy upon my tongue, and, almost instantly, I was once more a medical student in this real and material world, and feeling little the worse for my flight to the land of dreams. This sketch was written in the spirit of friendship and fun, with the intention of hurting no one's feelings, and I hope it will be received in the same spirit of good fellowship. And now, as we are about to break up for the last time, never again to meet together as an entire class, my greatest wish is, that every man's success will far out-distance his most sanguine expectations.

Prrsidenl, Illembers qffhv fzzslilulv, Laa'z'e's and Genlleman 5 ' 1 F ',' T 4-4 , :1 t six' E are assembled this evening, as members and guests of the Hahnemanian Institute, to -me . . . ,wif ff 3- 'i celebrate the last social meeting for the season of 1900 and 1901. As in the past, the ' if X ij l WX class valedictories occupy aconspicuous place on the programme for the evening. Owing I 5 A , B i 5 E F N l x ' ,f U r Q as I - to tl1e extremely retiring disposition of my fellow classmate, Mr. Pollock, it has fallen to 'XR' , '4'., 4 ix' 1 my lot to represent the senior class 3 a distinction I would have been proud to have con- ferred upon me were it not for the fact that I feel utterly incapable of properly represent- ing such a fine body of young manhood. As it is I accept the task with feelings of deep sympathy for the class and myself as well. Custom has been the origin of an unwritten law, which decrees that on this occasion the valedictorian should devote his most earnest attention toward roasting his fellow students, and incidentally, accidentally or unavoidably, making more or less of a butt of himself. I may make an admirable success of the latter proposition, but it is the opinion of many members of the class, myself included, that on previous occasions, and in numerous ways, they have served their apprenticeship in this line and would in this instance, be quite willing to waive all claims to such distinction. It is my purpose, therefore, to depart from the previous custom by avoiding any extended personal mention, however well earned they may be, and I take this opportunity to extend an apology to all who 35 consider themselves worthy candidates for such honors and who feel aggrieved and neglected, as well as to those victims of the past who had hoped, at this time, to drink freely from the cup of sweet revenge. It is perhaps needless to remind the senior class that this is the last meeting of the Institute which we will be privileged to attend as members of the undergraduate body. The day of our graduation, which, when we entered this College, four years ago, seemed like a dim spot on the horizon, is now within the range of clear vision, dimmed only by the final examinations and the asthenopia which comes of the knowledge that we do not know it all. With its advent we may well consider what it implies. As we look back it seems but a brief time since we came together here. Our pathway has not been entirely smooth and strewn with roses at every turn, but in this we are not disappointed, for I am sure none of us came here merely for play, but for work. We have by perseverance and diligent application cleared a pathway through the dense underbrush of medical knowledge and have gained a foothold upon the crest of the first hill. Behind, the road is rough with the stubble of imperfect and unfinished work, and just ahead looms the mountain of our life work, which, with renewed energy and a firm determination, we must attempt to scale. , Few ever reach the summit, but there are many positions of honor, on the way, which are Within the reach of all who make an honest effort for their attainment. If I were to ask you what, in your opinion, constitute a success in the practice of medicine, and in what field you will put forth your efforts to acquire it, the answers would necessarily be varied. To Daniel Webster is accredited the remark, when asked by a prospective law student as to his chances for success in that profession, Young man the profession is crowded to suffocation at the foot of the ladder, there is only room at the top. Gentlemen, the same applies to the medical profession. In a few short weeks we will be at the foot of the ladder waiting for the signal from the State Board to begin the scramble for the top. Does it appear an easy task ? If any think so I fear they will be doomed to disappointment, but it is by no means a hopeless one. Success has a crown for every man, but it must be won, it will not come unsought. In public and in private life we have .innumerable examples of men and women, who have won their way from lowly beginnings to positions of prominence. In literature, in politics, in finance, in mercantile pursuits, in the professions from places of obscurity, to fame. In various spheres of life, we End men occupying high positions, perhaps, commanding 86 large salaries for what may seem to us comparatively simple work. We are apt to think lightly of it, or, possibly be envious of their good fortune, thus branding them as being lucky. How have they attained their position? Is it by accident? Is it by so-called good luck? In the vast majority of instances, No Y It is simply because they have taken advantage of their opportunities, developed the faculties with which they were endowed and in times of stress have proven themselves capable of meeting emergencies and overcoming obstacles. We must admit that men are sometimes victims of circumstance, or that circumstances oft times make the man, but after all it is usually these very circumstances that afford simply the test of ability, and if the ability is lacking, the opportunity counts for naught. As applied to medical practice, many men have sprung suddenly into prominence through their success in a particular case 3 in one sense by accident, but the ability to succeed was the important element and it must exist to maintain and advance the precedence thus gained. In the profession of medicine there are many spheres within which one may win honor and fame. In physiology, histology, pathology, neurology, surgery, in general medicine, there are many unknown problems, the solution of which would be valuable contributions to medical knowledge, bring credit to the discoverer and possibly win for him a place beside the honered names of Hahnemann, Lister, Jenner, Koch and others. Few possess the qualifications or the resources for such original investigation and research but, fortunately for ns, the line is not sharply drawn here. In the fiield of general medicine there are high attainments to be reached, in fact I am not sure but that within this sphere lie some of the most sublime opportunities that can fall to the lot of man. I am here reminded of a remark addressed to me after the visit of a certain physician, to one of his patients. In substance it was this : If the time ever comes when you can enter the sick room, inspire the confidence and relieve the mental and physical suffering that this man does, you will have performed one of the grandest missions within the power of human agency. A physician who can acquire and merit such a place in the hearts of his patients may well feel that his efforts have not been misdirected and, in my opinion, needs nothing more to be able to count his life a success, at least from a professional standpoint. There is, however, fortunately or unfortunately, a mercenary side to our ideals of success. It is said that a true scientist, one who was thoroughly in love with his work, never thinks of remuneration. Indeed 87 there are a few examples of such in history, men who have devoted their lives to scientific work and have, at the close of their period of usefulness, become a public charge. However ideal this may be from the stand- point of professional ethics the millennium has not been reached, and most of us are, for reasons quite beyond our control, brought in such close contact with the practical side of life that we cannot eliminate money as a factor of our success. The physician who is engaged in the practice of medicine purely for the love of it, is indeed a rarity. Honest labor is worthy of its hire and I can see no valid reason why it should be considered unprofessional to cherish an ambition to provide for one's family and for the rainy day. On the other hand we should not be actuated by financial motives alone and thus become one of the already too lazge class of charletans, whose sole aim seems to be to Do somebody for something, rather than do something for somebody. XVe should avoid this discreditable professional phase and to this end we must ever stand ready to do our duty by ministering with equal care and pleasure to those unfortunates who are worthy of our help, but who are not rich in worldly goods. True success, the success which leaves behind an untarnished reputation, does not come through the accumulation of wealth, but through a life long study of the phenomena of disease, contributing, so far as lies within our power, the knowledge of the cause, effect and treatment and unselfish and intelligent ministra- tion to the sick, and an unswerving devotion toward the advancement and elevation of the profession and the school which we are to represent. Is it any wonder then that we approach the beginning of our career with the mind burdened with doubts and fears. If we could but see ourselves as others see us, perhaps we could avoid many pitfalls. This inability to know ourselves, to estimate our strength, and our weakness, to judge of our abilities and inabilities renders the problem doubly ditiicult and we are at a loss to know which way to turn to put our talents to the best use. The field is broad, too broad to be successfully embodied in one short life, provided we aspire to anything beyond the ordinary plane. This being true, can we be surprised at the strong tendency toward specialism ? Thirty years ago the course of study in the medical colleges was crowded into two brief years, later it was increased to three years QHahnemann College of Philadelphia being the first to take this stepj, and it is but a few years since the four years' course of seven months each was inaugurated. Thus the term of study has been more than doubled, but it has done no more than keep pace with the advancement 88 of knowledge in medicine. The student of to-day, is quite as hard pressed for time as was the student of thirty years ago, if he does his work thoroughly and conscientiously. The fact that the human mind cannot grasp and retain sufiicient knowledge to enable one to become an expert in all branches, even though possessed of all the physical requirements, has been the stepping stone to legitimate specialism. I refer of course to true specialism, not the sphere of quacks who lured on by prospects of an easier life and larger fees, set themselves up as such, without proper qualihcations, springing up like mushrooms, in a night, and becominga discredit to themselves and a blight upon the profession. There seems to be some question, however, even within its legitimate sphere, whether or not the pendulum is not swinging too far the other way. XVithout attempting to discuss the merits of this issue I think I am safe in saying that the ideal special- ist is but a result of evolution. Starting with a good fundamental education, supplemented with the proper experience in general medicine, he gradually drifts into that sphere which his tastes and his natural ability direct him. Few men possess the diversity of talent which makes them masters of all things, hence it should be in the vast majority of cases, but the manifestation of that inherent ability which makes one man a better teacher than another, another a better surgeon, another a better physician. This trend of affairs leads us to believe that Dr. Patton was not far from the truth when he said, in his address to the graduates of last year, that he was not sure but that the day was near at hand when a man would get up very early in the morning and look longingly about all day in search of a good old-fashioned family doctor. After all the family doctor, the general practitioner, is the keystone of the arch, the planet about which the satellites revolve. It is he who stands between the patient and the surgeon, the gynecologist, in short, the specialist. It is often upon his prompt and accurate diagnosis that the future usefulness, or even the life of a patient depends, if the services of a specialist are demandedg it is upon his immediate recognition of a contagion that the safety of a community is safe-guarded g it is frequently upon his knowl- edge of dietetics and the sanitation of the home that the family circle is kept intact 3 his knowledge of public hygiene often contributes to the health of the community in which he resides, and it is very often upon his skill and tact in the treatment of disease that the life of the patient and the happiness of the home depends. It behooves us, therefore, to make the best of our opportunities and to perfect ourselves to the highest possible degree in this the ground work of the practice of medicine. This may not have quite the importance 89 to those who locate in thickly populated districts, surrounded, as they will be, by their seniors and superiors in knowledge and experience, upon whom they can call for assistance in the solution of knotty problems. But how about the man far removed from these sources of help, the country practitioner? He is like a general with his base of supplies or his reinforcements cut off, compelled to fight it out alone. To him belongs all the glory of a battle Won, and if he loses, then he may or may not be blameless, according as he has or not performed his duty in the full sense of the word. Fortunately the requirement of a better preliminary education, the advancement made in medical knowledge, the better facilities afforded the student of the acquirement of that knowledge, and especially through the medium of clinical teaching in which this college is particularly strong, renders the medical graduate of to-day better prepared to properly meet the grave responsibility, a distinct advantage over the graduate of a few years ago. It has been the means of materially shortening that period in the course of a medical career which Fothergill has chosen to call the murderous stage, but it has not entirely eliminated it. The element of practical experience, the greatest of all teachers, is still a strong factor in the perfection of our skill, and while we have had many advantages, still we have much to learn in the way of practical application. We must continue our work both now and in the future, we must keep abreast with the progress of the knowledge of medicine. To remain stationary means decay, so We must advance, keep up to date, or soon End a place on the shelf with the fossils. Aside from our personal progress and success we have some duties which should receive our thought- ful consideration. VVe should always have at heart the progress of our school, to work for its advancement and not by our apathy and unworthiness prove a stumbling block to this end. As a school we are in a minority. In times past, and even to-day, we have many bitter opponents to the principles of homeopathy g some so narrow and bigoted that they do not know why they are opposed, except on general principles. But this spirit is fast dying out. In this day, where there exists such diversity of opinion on medical questions, even among the members of the different sects, it is, to say the least, unbecoming to be intolerant of the views of others. Differ with your medical brother if you will, argue your point if you have a solid scientific foundation on which to stand, dare to possess the courage of your own convictiong but I beg of 90 you, for the sake of your reputation, as broad minded scientific men, don't brand the views of others as being worthless, simply because they do not coincide with yours. You may find some day that the other fellow was right. The new school, to- day, occupies a higher plane in both professional and lay circles than ever before, and is rapidly acquiring the professional status to which it is justly entitled. New theories and discoveries have ever been obliged to run the gauntlet of the skeptical and those deeply rooted in the old faith. Men like Newton, Fulton, and Morse, were, for a time, the subject of attacks ranging from scientihc criticism to positive abuse. Hahnemann met with a similar reception. The former were able to prove absolutely, the truth of their assertions, but owing to the fact that it is never possible to prove beyond peradventure of a doubt, that a patient recovered solely under the action of a certain remedy, the law of the similars has not, to the satisfaction of all, been proven beyond the possibility of contradiction. That it is not false is the honest belief of thousands who have given it careful study and application, and tens of thousands who have been treated under this system. It has been shown time and again, in various epidemics, and in regular practice, that the mortality rate has been lower under this system of treatment. It is not within my province or ability to discuss the theoretical merits or the limitations of homoeo- pathy. Great minds are still at variance on this question, and it would indeed be egotistical for me to do more than to commend it as a subject which should receive careful consideration from each one, and decide each for himself. As a nation we are young in literature and art, and have not attained the degree of perfection gained by the older countries. Our forefathers were too much occupied in clearing the wilderness, and thus creating the foundation for this great country of homes and independence, to devote much time to these elements of culture. Likewise our school is young, its founders, busily engaged in establishing the new theory and attempting to build up an accurate symptomatology, were, for a time more or less blinded to the associate branches. It was then, that our opponents could, and did point to us and say : What have you ever done toward the science of medicine? You have nothing but a mass of symptomatology in which we do not believe! You have given us nothing new in physiology, in pathology, in anatomy, in the etiology of disease. You have no recognized authorities, no authors. All of which was more or less true, especially from their QI point of view. To our discredit it may be said that there were a few men so completely carried away by the new theory, that they considered that these allied branches had no bearing in the practice of homeopathy 5 and some even considered the teaching of anatomy in a homeopathic college as unnecessary. Such views would necessarily hamper the progress of any school, but fortunately they no longer exist. While these associated branches may not, in every case, be an absolute necessity for a successful homeopathic prescrip- tion, still they are of the greatest importance, an absolute necessity in the successful practice. To-day we have our anatomists, our pathologists, our surgeons, our recognized authorities, and we, as students, are proud to say that we do not have to go outside of our own institution to find them. Again, as another duty, we owe our allegiance to our Alma Mater to be. She, the mother of all homeopathic colleges, located in the heart of the third city in the union, with a splendid hospital, a visiting staff composed of representative men, a corps of nurses whose efficiency is second to none, and with a patronage far in excess of her accommodations. She needs our assistance, first through the medium of such conduct on the part of her graduates as will maintain the good name and precedence which she now bears, secondly, our influence to supply both new students and patients, and thirdly, for our moral and financial support in the interest of expansionyimproved facilities and the ability to keep pace with, or better still, to lead other colleges, in the matter of improved courses of instruction. VVe, the members of the Class of 1901, will soon be afforded an opportunity to learn of what little significance we are in the medical world, and it will prove especially pertinent to any of us who have had the temerity to consider that in the four years of hard study we have acquired a great deal of knowledge. No matter how much we know, or may think we know, it is quite another matter to impress this fact upon the minds of those members of a suffering public who come within the circle of our influence. The first thing is the dreaded State Board 5 that slate wiped clean, the next will be to open an ofiice somewhere. But where? Thats another momentous question. Let us imagine that the location is settled upon, the furniture and artistic sign purchased and turned over by an indulgent father, possibly with a sigh of relief and a fond, but poorly grounded hope, that the last tap has been made upon his resources. But alas ! the opening of an oflice is not, unfortunately for the doctor, perhaps fortunately for the patient, the sole key to the acquirement of a practice Imagine the young graduate sitting in that lonely office day after day, dividing his time between running up 92 potencies, smoking the pipe of idleness, and through the imaginary smoke trying, Ik Marvel like, to dream either of a long line of patients coming through the waiting room door, or of a list of wonderful diagnoses and successful cures, and possibly cherishing a deep seated sympathy for the sick and suffering who do not flock to him for the relief of their ills and incidentally their coin. That arm chair, which in the beginning seemed like a downy bed of ease as compared with that soft side of an oak board in the lecture room, grows strangely uncomfortable. He notes the passers by, they look at the new sign, but it does not appear nearly as attractive to them as to the owner. Some of them look ill, and his heart goes out to them with a volunfe of sympathy worth anywhere from 5o cents to fl.OO. Professional courtesy alone prevents him from offering his valuable services to them. They pass on to the next ofhce. Perhaps the patient has seen or heard of him, and then he wonders if they cherish feelings akin to those told of the poor Kansas farmer, who one day after watching with a suspicious eye the gathering storm, noted a funnel shaped cloud in the distance, it was coming his way, and he dropped on his knees to pray. As it came nearer and nearer, the air laden with a mixture of trees, houses, barns and live-stock, it spread terror to the old n1an's heart, and he is credited with closing his prayer with these words: A' Oh Lord, things are becoming woefully mixed up here, please come down and straighten them out, come yourself, it is no place for the inexperienced. He wonders if it is because they have no use for the young and inexperienced, that they thus pass him by. The weeks roll by, and he begins to wonder, from the appearance of his clothing, if he has not really been emulating Rip Van Wiiikle, but no g it is a stern reality, for he sees on his desk a note reading as follows : 'K Dear Doctor :-My mother-in-law lies at death's door, please come at once, and see if you can't pull her through. He remembers distinctly having done so, and having received a good fee from the grateful son- in-law, but this was weeks ago 3 the fee has long since been spent and he again feels like crying out with the author, Life is but an empty dream. Nothing but the daily indulgence in one of Dr. Tuller's ice Water plunges, stimulates him for the next day's Wait. It not only relieves him of the internal congestion, the toxaemia of an enforced idleness, but reduces the suicidal tendencics. He goes to the bath with a firm determination, jumps in, but with a yell that would curdle the blood of a Comanche Indian, immediately jumps out again, and is saved from an ignominious end. At last, through accident, or mistaken identity, his stranded bark is caught upon the crest of the wave of success. His hand, despite his nenrasthv nic 93 condition proves steady at the helm, and he is able to guide his craft into the smooth waters of the professional sea. I do not wish to be guilty of plagiarism, hence I cheerfully acknowledge that the preceding picture was copied in-toto, from Vol. 11, of Pipe Dreams from Real Life, by David Hardie. I cannot believe that any member of this class must go through such an ordeal as is depicted by this celebrated author, but I quote it in order that we may be duly thankful if we escape it. To the lower classmen, representing the periods of puberty, youth and infancy, we extend a hearty fraternal greeting. I feel that it is incumbent upon me to remind tl1e junior Class of the responsibility which will soon come to them. The Faculty are well aware of our merits, both individually and collectively. They do not need to be told, but we want you to fully appreciate how ideally we have met the issues of our college life. Since we attained our majority, and became thereby the ex-officio ruling spirit, the whole atmosphere has changed. The Faculty has been able to lead a more peaceful existence. Those who could not control their thirst for thrilling excitement to break the monotony of steady grind, have at least shown their respect for the college halls by withdrawing to Pop Dunns,'l to play the slot machine. Athletics have been transferred to the open air, where the surplus energy has ample room for expansion, without coming in violent contact with the windows, gas fixtures and furniture in general. The former brass band concerts with a 4 a. m. farm yard accompaniment is no longer heard during the morning lecture hour. We had almost forgotten the sound of a few words of reproof, until a few mornings since, when Dr. Bigler entered the room with his usual 1 . 58 gait. The room was perfectly quiet, but tapping on the desk with his pencil, he prefaced the lecture by these remarks :- Gentlemen, it is usually considered good form to stop talking as soon as the professor enters the lecture room. We could not understand, for the moment, what it meant, but he at once commenced to deliver a Sophmore lecture in Physiology, and we then realized the enslavery of habit. He thought he was talking to the under classmen. Under the eiiicient leadership of the gentleman from Texas, we have been able to maintain, throughout the year, an atmosphere of quiet dignity. We were perhaps a trifle slow in assuming such a role, because of the noisy example which was set for us by our seniors, but when this influence was withdrawn, and we were left to our own sober judg- ment, we realized most forcibly our duty to you. We have known since our first meeting in '98, that you 94 were a head-strong wilfull body and very hard to manage 3 hence our unusual solicitude for your welfare. We sincerely hope that you have profited by our example, and with a little more experience, will be able to wear with equal ease and grace, the mantle of dignity which we will pass down to you. Let us remind you also of your duty to the Sophmores. They are a promising lot of fellows, but very foxy and elusive, but are learning rapidly. It would be too bad to allow them to go astray 3 they need your careful attention. As to the Freshmen, they are too young for us to have acquired much of a knowledge of their abilities, but in view of their youth we think they have attained considerable notoriety. The Sophmores seem to have a very diplomatic way of managing them, and we cannot do better than commend them to their care. Let us hope that with the advent of a nitrogenous and amylaceous diet they will re-enforce their puny constitutions, and thus acquire the physical strength and wisdom to properly guide the infants of 1905. Speaking seriously, permit us to urge upon the members of all the classes, the importance of a unanimity of action toward a hearty support of the Institute, and the promotion of a broader and deeper college spirit. We know full well, that the student has little spare time, but he can surely devote some of it to the social side of student life. The otiicers you have elected can accomplish little without the individual support of the members. Let each one do his part and reap his share of the reward through the medium of pleasant and instructive meetings, social contact with his brother students, and the general broadening of his mental sphere. You have our best wishes for success in this field, in the approaching examinations, and your future professional career. To the members of the faculty, and the able corps of instructors, we are pleased to express our appre- ciation for the kindly interest taken in our behalf, and for the assistance they have extended to us as a class and as members of the institute. Our treatment at your hands has been uniformally courteous 3 more than you could say of us, if you do not look upon our shortcomings, as we hope you will, as spontaneous out- bursts of pent-up boyish energy, innocent in its conception, and harmless in its effect 3 errors of judgment, and not of the heart. I think I voice the sentiment of every member of the class when I say that in leaving these halls, we will carry with us feelings of deepest regard and respect for those who have thus ministered to our welfare, and especially for that body of representative men, the Faculty. 95 Fellow classmates, the time is near at hand when we must separate to tread the paths which the future has in store for us. The many happy incidents of our college life will soon fade to a pleasant memory. Some one has said, that life is made up of meetings and partings, and on every hand we meet with evidence of its truth. Since the Class of IQOI entered this college, there have been many changes. Death has claimed two of our number, others for personal or Faculty reasons have transferred their affections to other colleges, or have drifted beyond the pale of the medical profession. On the other hand, our total has been maintained by acquisitions from other sources. And now as the time approaches when we must go out into the world to cope with the stern realities of life, the bonds which bi11d us as the senior cla-s must be sundered g but let us hope as we drift apart, borne onward by the irresistible current of human events, that the personal ties which have been formed, and the bonds which unite us as the Class of IQOI, may prove enduring 3 that we will ever retain a keen interest in the progress of our fellow classmates, rejoicing in their success, sympathiz- ing in their failures. Personally I thank you all for the many courtesies you have shown, crave your pardon for any offense, personal or to the class, of which I may be guilty, and finally from the bottom of my heart, I assure you of my best wishes for your success in all your undertakings.

CID Baptisia is often used in the treatment of Typhoid Fever. Q25 Yes, Doctor! With all your talent, it would be foolish for you to accept the offer of the Manager of the Trocadero 5 the Lyceum oiTers better advantages. Twenty cents is a fair price for a hair-cut 3 shaving in your case would be thrown in. Try one. Dispensary patients are not safe people to monkey with. But, as you say, All's well that ends well.

Resolved Resolved Resolved Resolved Resolved Resolved Resolved Resolved R esol 2 'ed Resolved Resolved Resolved Resolved RESCDLUTIONS Adopted by two-thirds vote of the class, and ordered to be inscribed in the Minutes of the Class and published in the Class Book. The Class of IQOI has passed four years together, and We are now about to separate, and We believe ourselves to be the best class that has ever graduated, and Some members of the class are peculiar people, and We want some reminder of the aforesaid people on record 5 therefore be it That Palmer is the realization of a dream after a dinner of baked beans and sauer kraut 3 and be it further That Dunne should be able to secure a better position than model to the Ladies' Home journal, and be it further That Ma-:Gregor should leave the Piker Push, and be it further That Kirby is a living example of what the Y. M. C. A. will do for a man, and be it further That Shepard would look a d-d sight better minus his whiskers, and be it further That Hoffman should know better than to look for bronchial breathing in the gluteal region, and be it further That Gross would make a first-class Horse Doctor, and be it further That Scatchard is a vest pocket travesty on the genus homo, and be it further That Hoke is a striking example of the Diarrhoeic Diathesisdand be it further That Lang should be able to learn something else than Materia Medica, and be it further That Sharp took an unfair advantage of the fellow whom he sent after oysters, and be it further That Pollock is the instigator of this section, besides being a general nuisance, so let's whip him, and be it further That these resolutions be enrolled on the minutes of the class, and published in the Class Book. ' ' IO2 HOW TO BECOME POPULAR ITH a full realization of the value of popularity, and understanding how well some members of the class have succeeded in attaining the much-sought-for state, the Class Book Committee has requested several of these gentlemen to enlighten the rest of the class as to the means that they have found useful. The extracts from their replies, which follow, are, we feel, perfectly unbiased, and their kindness in replying so promptly to our request is appreciated greatly. Mr. Felsburg-alias Windy Paul -received one vote in the class ballot for most popular man 5 some have been unkind enough to say that he cast it for himself, but the Editors wish to frown down any such slanderous statement. Mr. Felsburg says in part :- I consider myself a very good example of the slang phrase 'all the eggs' To gain popularity it is necessary to cater to the professors-no matter how disagreeable it may be to yourself or to them. Be a 'wise guy,' even though they call your bluff. Deal out 'con talks' and be a ' piker' every time an opportunity presents itself. Mr. Hoffman-the man with the hoe-writes :- ' I'm it l With my superiluity of conversational ability it would be by no means a difficult matter to establish this claim. Popularity is a ' cinch? Wear a red neck-tie, and stick close to the bunch of 'sore heads.' Always make a bluff at answering every question, and let your class ' go to.' Mr. Kreider's opinion is worthy of careful consideration. His answer follows :- To be the 'main squeeze,' absolutely ignore the truth. Pass histology-' almost alone '-and then publish it ibut don't let the class hear of it.J Let the wide world know that you have brains to throw to the dogs. I consider it absolutely essential to be a ' piker, to reach the goal, and above all things-bet your money. Dr. Halloway's reply is characteristic and speaks for itself:- Back to the shrubbery, boys, it's no use-I am still on the inside. I came to your College in my senior year. And now judge for yourself? Do I not run the class? Don't I foot up the grand total ? Behold Me, Halloway. Get struck on yourself, and popularity can't miss you. 103 EXAMINATIGN QUESTlONb EMERGENCIES.
