wisely conservative, yet as Secretary ot the State Medical Association he is in close touch with the many advances being made in the healing art. In another sphere of action in which again we see the past and present inter- dependent and interwoven, and where Plato like Hippocrates, may still give valuable points to the heedful, Dr. Irving has served the public not so long nor so conspicu- ously, indeed. yet his interest, keen and abiding, in the welfare of Hampden-Sidney College has made him a living force on its Board of which he is now the presiding officer, and there is no measure which he believes is in line with its true develop- ment that has not his hearty support. It was only the emergency created by the great war and the drain upon the country' for surgeons to supply the armies that induced him. now a sexagenarian, to add to his regular practice the duties of College Physician. His acceptance of the office was providentialg for the epidemic known as the Spanish Influenza soon in- vaded the community and so rapid was its dissemination that in a week's time the Doctor had many cases under treatment. making it necessary to convert the new Gymnasium into a. hospital and call for volunteer nurses to assist. But so prompt- ly was the trouble taken in hand and so skillfully were the patients treated that only one death resulted in something like two hundred cases occurring among the students and the rest of the community. No wonder then, that the Stal? of the Annual seeks to do him honor and to commemorate services given so freely and in such abnegation of self in that period of stress. Loyal to his friends, clannish in his devotion to his kin, as becometh his Scottish blood, a public spirited citizen, and a staunch churchman, long may he be spared to his people and his State.
