R. lQL'l l'S ll XX'l'f.XX'lilQ was horn at ticltyshurg, liIl.,.lZlllllZll'y 1o, l34l. Ile obtained his prelimi- nary cducatic-n in the schools of his nativc town. after which hc was g'l'IlflllIllCfl, with thc degree of AB., front l,CIlIlSj'lY1llllll College in 18613. Three ycars latcr that institution gave him the drrgrce of All. L'pon finishing his collegiate course he entered l'ennsylvania Medical College, obtain- ing his BLD. in 18o5. During the spring tcrm of that year he took a special anatomical course under lbr. Hayes Agnew. XYhen Dr. XYeaver speaks of his teacher, he gets into that affectionate, almost reverent frame of mind. in which we find ourselves when speaking of or to Dr. XYeave1'. He next attended a full course of lectures at the University of Pennsylvania in 1367-68, and the following year took a course in Clinical Medicine at Jefferson. Meanwhile he had made the acquaintance of Dr. A. R. Thoinas, who for over a quarter of a century was Professor of Anatomy, and to whom the success of Hahne- mann College and Hospital are largely due. Beginning in 1865, Dr. XVeaver prepared all the anatomic spe- cimens for Dr. Thomas. Many of these wonderful dissections are used at present by Dr. Northrop. It is hardly necessary to speak of Dr. W'eaver's anatomic knowledge, and his skill in handling scalpel and forceps. Thousands of students and visitors have looked in wonder at Harriet's nerves. Other specimens. fully as difficult of preparation as the cerebro-spinal system, are to be seen in the Museum. The skull, show- ing all cranial nerves in situ, can be cited as an example. Dr. XVeaver has made dissections showing blood and nerve distribution to various parts separately, for the sake of clearness, and other dissections showing all the constituents, so as to bring out the relations. He has spared neither time nor energy to give the students an opportunity of seeing the make-up of the entire human machine. XYlien the structure under discussion is too small to be seen from the benches, Dr. NVeaver takes his brush in hand and puts the idea down on paper. A very large number of the colored plates used in the anatomical lectures are his own work. III 1870, Dr. XYeaver was appointed Demonstrator of Anatomy, in 1879, Lecturer on Surgical Anat- omy, and in 1897, Professor of Regional Anatomy. Various honors and titles have been bestowed upon him, most recently that of Fellow of the Philadelphia Academy of Medicine. But Dr. XVeaver prefers to have this passed over quietly, saying: Too much feathers. His modesty only accentuates his greatness. XYhen alumni visit Old Hahnemann, they almost invariably look up Dr. XVeaver first. His wonderful memory holds not only a wealth of anatomic lore, but also the names and characteristics of his former students. XVe all hold him to be our sincere friend. H. F. H.
