e1938 DR. LILIAN WELSH: FRIEND TO STUDENTS ON a winter afternoon many years ago three per sons were seated before an open fire in a certain club house in Baltimore. They were Dr. Welsh and two younger women, of whom I was one. The warmth and cheerfulness of an open fire tend to make one reflective, expansive, communicative The Fire that afternoon put Dr. Welsh into this mood and she be' gan to talk about her past. The thing she said that has remained longest with me is this: While she and her friend, Dr. Mary Sherwood, were pursuing their medical studies, they had to decide whether to de' vote their Future to research in or to the practice of medicine. They both chose the latter field because they were interested in human beings. Interest in human beings; this was one of Dr. Welsh,s most distinguished characteristics. She was one who never let official relationshiPSeprofessor of Physiology and Hygiene, metiical adviser to the Collegeestand in the way of pouring out her symr pathy if she thought some one needed help. Her power and her interest were equally effectual,whether the need was physical or spiritual. She prescribed little medicine, to my knowledge. For she often found that it was the spirit rather than the body that called for attention, and her words, more often than not, unflattering, were potent to stimulate Hagr ging courage. Thus her sympathy was always praC' ticalt She could always suggest a way out of a per' plexity and one left her presence ready to pick up again with fresh spirit. Dr. Welsh was a unique person whose place in Goucher College has never been and will never be exactly filled. ANNETTE B. HOPKINS. T221
