It decided upon the issue of any one of its contracts of insurance it would immediately endorse thereon the following: M ' This policy is absolutely incontestahle from date of issue for any cause, except non-payment of premium, anything in this contract to the contrary notwithstanding. THE contract of life insurance is so broadened and liberalized that it is a simple and I ' inviolable promise to pay at a given date, or upon death. It is the crystallization of O the idea expressed in the few words: You pay usg we pay you. THE above endorsementmakes a world-wide contract, free from all conditions as to residence, occupation, travel, habits of life, and as to manner, time, or place of death. It is the ultimate in life insurance, for no contract can possibly go any farther than to be an unconditional promise to pay. WITHOUT any increase in premium, or without any stipulation as to the use of divi- dends, the policies embrace: FIRST-Automatic extension-the longest. SECOND--Paid-up insurance-the largest. THIRD-Cash or Loan Values-the most liberal. FOURTH-No conditions as to resi- dence, occupation, suiclde, dueling, violation of law, or military or naval service. Not approached by the IT will command world-wide attention and instant approval. It shows that the PENN COllI1l'ZlCt of Zlliy OTITCI' COITTDZIITY MUTUAL has reached the goal toward which others are sauntering.

Philadelphia, May, 1899. - ' J ,Q Anesthesia by Nitrous Oxid and Uxygen in Combination Of late years the admixture of pure oxygen with nitrous oxid for anesthetic use has attracted considerable attention and been the subject of much experimentation. 'l'he claim made for this admixture is that it eliminates the asphyxiating feature from nitrous oxid anesthesia, and that it therefore permits of thc production of the anesthetic state in which, for one reason or another, nitrous oxid alone is contraindicated. 'l'he apparatus for administering NitrousOxid and Pure Oxygen in combination, as shown on the opposite page, frilly meets the requirements for this purpose, and it will be found as perfect for giving either gas separately. A brief description will best demonstrate this. Cylinder A contains Pure Oxygen. Cylinder ll is filled with Nitrous Oxid. C and IJ are rubber bags, of different colors, to avoid confusion. E and Fare keys which open the valves of the cylinders and allow the gas to ull the bags through the tribes G and H. 'l'he valves O and I' being closed, the gas remains in the bags. ily opening O Nitrous Oxid is admitted to Mixing Chamber M, from which it flows through the covered rubber tube to the lnhaler. When it is desired to combine Pure Oxygen with the Nitrous Oxid, open valve l', which admits the Oxygen to the Mixing Chamber, and both flow together to the lnhaler. 'l'he proportion of Oxygen used will be determined bythe degree to which valve 1' is opened, and the gauge on the valve will assist the operator in lixing the quantity. lint it must be remembered that exact percentages are not practical and not desirable, because of the varying susceptibility of patients. N is a convenient handle by which the apparatus, which balances nicely, may be carried. For compactness in transportation the rod which supports the inhaler may be run down to the level of the Mixing Chamber. The Cylinder for Oxygen is always red. The Cylinder for Nitrous Oxid is black, and there need be no mistake in placing them in the apparatus. The S. S. White Dental Mfg.

If you wish the book, forward the price of it, it not return the book. liach volume contains from 50 to loo colored plates, besides numerous illustrations in the text. There is a full and appropriate description, and each book contains a condensed but adequate outline of the subject to which it is devoted. These atlases offer a ready and satisfactory substitute for clinical observation. 'l'o those unable, to attend important clinics these books will be indispensable, as presenting in a convenient form accurate reproductions of clinical work, interpreted hy competent clinical teachers. ln planning this series of aliases, arrangements were made with representa- tive publishers in the chief medical centres ol' the world for the publication of translations into dillercnt languages, the lithographic plates for all the editions being made in Germany, where work of this kind has been brought to the greatest perfection. 'l'he publishers have thus been enabled to secure for these atlases the best artistic and professional talent, to produce them in the most elegant style, and yet to eller them at a moderate price. The success ofthe undertaking is demonstrated by the fact that the volumes have already appeared in nine different languages-German, English, French, Italian, Russian, Spanish, Danish, Swedish, and Hungarian. In view of the great success of these works, Mr. Saunders has contracted with the publisher of the original German edition for one hundred tl10lIS8nd copies of the atlases. ln consideration ol' this undertaking, the publisher has been enabled to furnish special additional colored plates, making the series even handS0n1eI' and more complete than was originally intended. As an indication of the great practical value of the atlases and of the favor with which they have been received, it should be noted that the medical Department of the U. S. Army has adopted the Atlas of Operative Surgery as its standard, and has ordered the book in large quantities.

HOLLAND, Dean --ll ' N the hrst quarter of this century certain physicians Camong whom may he mentioned Dr, W, P, C, llartonj ambitious to teach medicine, had made unsuccessful attempts to secure from the liegislature a charter for a second medical school in Philadelphia. lt was such a reproach to any graduate of the Q N, existing school that he should endeaver to set up a rival to his afum zmzlcr that few had the audacity to try it. Social influence proved strong enough either to nip such enterprises in the bud or to blight them before the Legislature. Seven years after ll1trton's abortive attempt, Dr. George McClellan, a man of restless energy, fertile in expedients, determined if possible to organize a medical school under the authority of some literary college already chartered hy the State. On june 2, I824, in company with Drs. john liberle, joseph Klapp and jacob Green, he sent a f comznunication to the Trustees of jefferson College, then situated at Canonsburg, Washington Co., Penna., proposing a plan for a medical department at Philadelphia, in which these four should be part of the faculty. The Trustees adopted the suggestion and established a medical faculty of six chairs in the city of ' Plliladelpliia, as a constituent part of jefferson College, under the name of the jefferson Medical College. J' W' H l'm uw ln the winter of 1825-26 an enlargement of their charter was obtained, which authorized them to appoint ten additional trustees in the city of Philaxlelphia. Rev. Ashbel Green, D.lJ., who was possessed both of influence and learning, wise in council, and of great decision of character, at one time President of Princeton College, was appointed chairman of the additional trustees, and held office until his death in May, 1848. In 1826 an act of the Legislature enlarged the charter, giving the right to grant the medical degree. Two years after, the l'hiladelphia lloard was authorized to have almost entire management of the affairs of the medical college, the parent lloard retaining the right to reverse the proceedings when in their judgment the interests of the college required this action. This relationship survived until the winter of 1837-38, when it terminated by the medical college obtaining a separate charter. In organizing the first faculty Dr. joseph Klapp resigned, and in 1825 the chairs were filled as follows: john liberle, M.D., Theory and Practice of Medicine, B. Rush Rhees, M.lJ., Materia Medica and Institutes, jacob Green, Chemistry, Nathan R. Smith, M.D., Anatomy, Francis S. Beattie, M. D., Midwifery, George McClellan, M. D., Surgery. Having no endowment wherewith to build, they rented the old Tivoli Theatre, now 518 Locust Street, altered its interior to suit their purpose and announced a course of lectures for the winter of 1825-26. The first class numbered one hundred and seven and the degree was conferred upon twenty in May by a writ of 1.5 r 'if' 4,9 245179 PYRETOMETERS .,..1v.5Zm,.. 6' Y Y Q0 05 1 - Hospital ON who The Lqbpzfzcoit- Huber C ompany Special goo 6919 J ' ' ' 4' 5 X ' iff- K 1' L Clinical f X 61' 1M1111Jm'l111'z'1' rj .4.6.vululv0' l'111'e Th Q, ' ' AA Cf' Q ermometcrs KO, AKQX, 6' ,999 0' Qfw' 544' 20 we ICE CICEAIIL BUTTER AND . xx I, Q29 ob 5,0 r Q Q Ufmcurs- QIQSC' 'V f ' 0405 5 YY .00 O, FIC Oll:N DILSSER 715' I I dsx 'X I Y - o qi :Rs O l ,f , Gb 51.99 ivy?

TIVELFYYI SYYCEET PIIILADELPIJIA mandamus obtained from court, as the charter of the college at Canonsburg had not yet been amended so as to enable it to confer the medical degree. G ' In tl1e summer of 1826 Dr. W. P. C. Barton was appointed to a new chair of materia n1edica. Litigation and discord between two of the professors affected unfavorably tl1e class of 1826-27. The old theatre building proving entirely inadequate, a member of the Board of Trustees, Rev. Ezra Styles Ely, D. D., offered to advance tl1e money to erect a suitable building, the College to take a lease upon it for five years. This building was constructed upon a lot situated on Tenth Street, between what are now called Sansom and Moravian Streets. By August, 1828, it was ready for the tenant, which has been in continuous possession ever since. The chair of midwifery having been declared vacant, Dr. john Barnes was appointed lecturer ffm fL'l1yP0l'6 for one session, and in rtpril, 1827, l1e was elected Professor. At the opening of the session of 1827-28, Dr. N. R. Smith resigned tl1e chair of anatomy. The juncture was critical, but Dr. George McClellan undertook the course on anatomy as well as his own on surgery. The Trustees being dissatisfied with the teaching in midwifery, on june 19, 1828, all the chairs were vacated and on the 26th of the same montl1 the faculty was reconstructed as follows: Surgery, George McClellan, D.D. 5 Medicine, john Eberle, M.D. 3 Materia Medica, W. P. C. Barton, M.D. 3 Institutes, B. Rush Rhees, M.D. 3 Chemistry, jacob Green, M.D. As the chairs of midwifery and anatomy were vacant, Dr. Eberle took the extra work in n1idwifcry, and anatomy was taugl1t by Dr. George McClellan, assisted by the demonstrator, Dr. Samuel McClellan. In january, 1830, Dr. George McClellan was relieved of anatomical teaching by tl1e appointment of his brother, Dr. Samuel McClellan, to the chair. In the hope of securing a more satisfactory assignment of labors in 1830, Dr. Barton having resigned, Dr. 'Eberle was transferred to the cl1air of materia medica, while undertaking to teach midwifery, and Dr. Daniel Drake, of Cincinnati, was appointed to the cl1air of practice of medicine. The session of I83O-SI opened with every professorship occupied by a man of proved ability as a writer and teacher. At the end of the session a disaster was experienced in tl1e resignation of two of the most eminent profes- sors, Daniel Drake and john Eberle. This loss and other changes made in the personnel from various causes had an unfortunate influence Upon the prosperity of the institution. For the session of 1831-32 Dr. Usher Parsons, of Providence, R. I., held the chair ot midwifery, Dr. Granville Sharp Pattison of anatomy, vice Dr. Samuel McClellan resigned. At theiend of the session Dr. Parsons resigned and Dr. Samuel McClellan was appointed professor of n1idwifery, medical jurisprudence and diseases of women and children. By 1834 Dr. john Revere had been appointed professor of medicine and a mutually acceptable organization was effected, which persisted for six prosperous Years. The teaching corps was much strengtl1ened by the election of Dr. Robley Dunglison to the chair of institutes in June, 1836. In 1838 the larger classes called for more commodious quarters, and it was decided that the old building must be altered and enlarged. To do tl1is it was desirable that the title to tl1e property, hitherto vested in Rev. E. S. Ely, should be transferred to the Board of Trustees. As these Trustees in Philadelphia were subordinate to the parent Board and could hold property in tl1eir name only, a 11ecessity arose for a distinct charter, wl1ich would enable the Philadelphia Trustees to hold and modify tl1e medical college property as a separate institution. .

K ' .- TELEPHONE CONNECTION I4 l l l l l l l i l i l 1 l 1 1 At the session of the Legislature held in the Spring of 1838, a charter was obtained creating The jefferson Medical College of Philadelphia, an independent corporation H with the same powers and restrictions as the University of Pennsylvania, and the Trustees then holding office were reappointed with ff power to increase their number to fifteen, and to be sclfclective. At the meeting which accepted the new charter the Board of Trustees closed the old connection very gracefully by passing unanimously the following resolution : !Feso!zfm', That the President be directed to communicate to the mother Board at Canonsburg, that in accepting the charter which separates them from the jefferson College at Canonsburg, the additional Trustees are influenced by the conviction that such a separation is for the mutual benefit and convenience of both bodies, and desired it for no other reason 3 and that this Board will retain a grateful sense of the kind and fostering care ever exhibited towards them by the parent institution, and will in their new capacity be always ready to acknowledge their past obligations and to exchange, in every way in their power, kind offices with Jefferson College at Canonsburgf' The Trustees executed a lease on the College premises for twenty years, which gave them the privilege of paying off the principal at any time before the lease expired. In time they came into full ownership of the property, having made from time to time the alterations called for by the growth of the school. The happy outlook was soon beclouded by the personal difficulties of the faculty. These dissensions became so urgent that on the roth of june, 1839, the Trustees dissolved the faculty, and organized another out of the more congenial members of the previous body, with some new appointments. The name of Dr. George McClellan does not appear in the reorganized faculty. In his place was put Dr. joseph Pancoast, and Dr. R, M. Huston replaced Dr. Samuel McClellan. As Dr. George McClellan is conceded to have been the master spirit in founding the school, it is proper in this history to give some account of his career. He had shown a marked aptitude for surgery before he studied medicine. In ten years after beginning practice he was among the foremost surgeons of the world, showing in his operations consummate skill joined to an alertness of mind which made him ready for the most trying emergency. His lectures evinced enthusiasm, clearness and thoroughness, His methods were characterized by brilliancy and dash rather than by cool calculation. It was very hard for him to submit to author'ty or to control the impulses of his ardent temperament. . In 184r, new difficulties came to a crisis, and on the 2d of April, all the chairs were again vacated, and the faculty reconstituted as follows: Robley Dunglison, M.D., Institutes, J. K.

Under their ftfgflllllt' the College throve apace. During the first seventeen years there had been many disagreements ending in withdrawals, some of them involuntary. In that time there had been eight incumbents to the chair of midwifery. At different times vacan- cies had been filled for short periods by men of unusual ability. Their stay was so short as to prefigure the early decline which seemed to be the fate of an institution whose history was marked by such extraordinary vicissitudes, due in the main to internal discords.

ROOFS REPAIRED AND PAINTED Orders promptly attended to at short notice bitter opposition, poverty and domestic contention, like a child that has been delivered painfully and survived dentition, the eruptive fevers and the dangers of puberty, the school had reached the maturity of its powers. With the faculty of 1841 came the reign of peace, order, and good fortune. There were no changes in the faculty for fifteen years. The conlidence of the public and of the profession was given in full measure to the friendly body of talented men, and as a result the school was prosperous to a degree surpassing any other medical school of its time. Prominent among the features contributing to its use u ness 1 p y, College, Dr. McClellan, whose name is intimately associated with every phase of its early history, was also the chief agent in creating its clinic. Having cultivated a charity practice at his office he easily supplied the infirmary at the college building, and on May 9, 1825, before the first session he performed the first operation in its amphitheatre. When the new building was erected in 1828 a small room in ! front, with an entrance under tl1e staircase, was used by him as a dispensary for his patients. He would draw upon these for illustrating his lectures. From such small beginnings the clinic grew, under the new faculty, to such dimensions that in a single year, 1856, no less than 802 medical and 813 surgical eases were treated, and capital operations of the rarest kind were performed before the class by such adroit Operators as Pancoast and Miitter. The accommodations at the College had been so poor that as late as 1841 even those who had under- f 1 and no ularit must be' ranked its clinic. The virtual founder of the gone serious operations were sent to their homes in carriages. In 1844 two rooms were rented over a shop at the southwest corner of Tenth and Sansom Streets and grave cases were treated here after operations. The anesthetic power of ether was first exhibited in Philadelphia by Dr. Miitter at the clinic, December 23, 1846. About 1849 the surgical clinic used two floors of a building adjoining the College on the north. Later this was remodeled to accommodate fifteen patients. In these narrow quarters the clinic was maintained until the Hospital was built in 1877. To accommodate the larger classes, in 1846 more ground on the north side was purchased for a new entrance and stairway, the lecture rooms were enlarged and the old gable front altered by the erection of a classic portico and pediment. On the death of the President, Rev. Ashbel Green, in 1848, the Rev. C. C. Cuyler served for one year and then was succeeded by Hon. Edward King, Ll..D., who officiated until 1873. The failing health of Prof. Miittcr in 1856 caused him to resign. He was elected fznfcrror cu1crz7z1.r. He had been assistant to Du Puytren in the Paris hospitals, and while abroad had worked for months under other surgeons of equal celebrity. He has the credit of having been the first to introduce into tl1is country the Edinburg quizzing system. He was elected Professor of Surgery at twenty- nine years of age, and at once displayed extraordinary talent as a teacher, eloquent, polished and much beloved by lns classes. He was equally successful as a clinical lecturer and operator. The surgical clinic, by :he associated zeal and efficiency of Miitter and Pancoast, became so famous that the amphitheatre was crowded with practitioners from all parts of the country. Always lacking in physical vigor, though abounding in nervous energy, Dr. Miitter was forced by increasing infirmities to bring his labors to a close.

The extensive Miitter Museum and its liberal endowment under the administration of the College of Physicians, serve to keep his name in the grateful minds of the new generations. ' His place was taken by S. II. Gross, M.D., recently professor in the University of Louisville, a graduate of the Jefferson Medical College of the class of 1828, who had made a great reputation as a surgeon, writer and lecturer. The following year Dr. Huston resigned, was made jbzzgksrrar r11zz'r1?n.f and was succeeded by 'l'. IJ. Mitchell, M.D., professor in the Medical School of Transylvania University, Lexington, Ky. In 1858 the faculty was bereft of one of its most valued members by the death, in harness, of Dr. J. K. Mitchell. Beginning his scientific career as Professor of Chemistry in the Franklin Institute, he published original researches on osmosis, the solvents for India rubber and the tests for arsenic. Later he was the author of important papers on medical topics such as the spinal origin of rheumatism. His most notable contribution was his persistentadvocacy of the view then entirely new, but which is now universally accepted, that malarial fevers, yellow fever and cholera are produced by the presence of low vegetable organisms in the body. On his death the professor- ship of Practice of Medicine was conferred on Samuel H. Dickson, M.D., recently of the University of South Carolina. When the Civil War broke out, as two-fifths of the class usually came from the Southern States, it is not surprising that in two years the roll of students shrank from 630 fthe largest class which up to that time had attended anygmedical college in this countryj, to only 275. The last course of lectures delivered by Dr. C. D. Meigs was in the session of 1861-62. As j1ngfQ'.v.vn1'e1m'rz'ln.v for that year he took the place of the new appointee, Professor Keating, whose health would not permit him to take the chair. In the following year the chair of obstetrics was permanently filled by Dr. Ellerslie Wallace, some time demonstrator of anatomy. For twenty years Dr. Meigs had been eminent among the associates who had given so much lustre to the history of the College. Famous as a scholar, eloquent lecturer and writer on obstetrical subjects, he was at home in the arts of painting and modeling, which he used with great dexterity to illustrate his lec- tures. At his resignation the faculty made a minute which said in part that they ft parted from him with intense and enduring regret. Never could anyone have more closely applied himself to the execution of the responsible duties that have devolved upon him. In 1864 the chair of chemistry lost its occupant, Dr. Franklin Bache, the greatgrandson of Benjamin Franklin, best known as one of the authors of Wood and Bache's United States Dispensatory. His eulogist, Dr. George B. Wood, considered him an extraordinary man, who worked diligently and thus did much for the public good- presenting to the young men an example of all that is morally excellent, lovely and of good report in mankind. He was succeeded by B. Howard Rand, M.D., a practiced lecturer on chemistry in different medical institutions. After eight years ot his connection with the College Dr. Thomas D. Mitchell died in 1865. In his endeavors for the wellfbeing and the instruction of the students he acted conscientiously and harmoniously with his colleagues, who held him in high esteem. His successor in the chair of materia medica was john B. Biddle, M.D., an accomplished lecturer who had won popularity as professor of that branch in the Pennsylvania Medical College. 21 1.

M. DaCosta as lecturer on clinical medicine. In the same year more extended facilities for learning the specialties of medicine and surgery were provided in a summer course. The work of the faculty was supplemented by Drs. W. H. Pancoast, S. W. Gross, J. Aitken Meigs, R. J. Levis and F. F. Maury. In the following year this list was augmented by the names of Drs. J. H. Brinton and W. W. Keen. After filling for twenty-live years the chair of institutes of medicine and for fourteen the oFHce of Dean, in 1868 Dr. Robley Dunglison was compelled to resign by the ill-health which in the next year caused his death. The Trustees accepted his resignation with expressions of regret and elected him r1m'rz7u.v jwW.r.mr. In him was a rare combination of varied culture and vast erudition, made useful by an industry which produced the best medical dictionary of its day, copious contributions to journalism and text-books on physiology, hygiene, matcria medica and the practice of medicine. The honors awarded him at home and abroad gave him a prestige that lent impressiveness to the easy flow and grace of'his discourses. In his thirty years of medical teaching this U Father of American Physiology signed his name to at least live thousand medical diplontas. The chair of institutes was next occupied by J. Aitken Meigs, M.D., a physician and anthropologist of repute. In 1870 the alumni formed an association to promote the interests of the College and medical education. In 1872, Hon. J. R. Burden became President and Dr. J. M. DaCosta received the appointment of Professor of Theory and Practice of Medicine, made vacant by the demise of Dr. Samuel Henry Dickson. During the fourteen years of Dr. Dickson's connection with the college his courtesy and rennement had made him agreeable to all, while his students reaped the advantage of his wisdom and ripe experi- ence. At this time the Hospital and Dispensary of the College were treating annually about six thousand free patients, with one thousand surgical operations, in quarters wholly inadequate. At the session of the Legislature of Pennsylvania in 1873, April 9, an act was passed for the endowment ofa new college hospital, by which the sum of one hundred thousand dollars was appropriated to the Trustees of the jefferson Medical College. To the same purpose large private subscriptions were made by the alumni and others. There was much anxious deliberation on the proposition of removal to a more roomy neighborhood. The present central location was considered most convenient to the patients who were the material for the clinics. A spacious lot near by was purchased for the new hospital. At the same time measures were taken to enlarge and improve the college buildings, to add a new front and to equip new laboratories. The Hospital was formally opened September 17, 1877, at which time it had cost for building and furnishing: For two lots of ground, . . . 353,000 oo For building, heating, plumbing, architect, etc., 124,919 83 For outfit, bedding, furniture, etc., 8,000 oo 31851919 83 23 I.

It was found that more money was needed from the State, and after petition, an act appropriating an additional one hiindred thousand dollars was passed and approved by the Governor, June 17, 1878. This sum was paid in installments of ten thousand dollars each. To encourage contributions to the endowment fund, the Trustees offered to establish and support one free bed on the donation of live thousand dollars, or the annual payment of three hundred dollars. By this authority a perpetual charity became the memorial of various donors, such as I. V. Williamson, Henry C. Lea, Thomas A. Scott, Asa Packer, A. Whitney and A. J. Drexel. On the 27th of November, 1878, provision was made for the creation of a pathological museum in connection with the Hospital. A collection of wet preparations, casts and wax models was soon made and arranged under the direction ofthe curator, Dr. Morris lsongstreth. After a service of more than a third ofa century, full of years and honors, in 1874, Dr. Joseph Pancoast resigned the chair of anatomy and was madef1vA'.v.ra1'1-111rr1'f1f.v. The vacant appointment was given to his son, Dr. William Pancoast, who as his demonstrator and adjunct had enjoyed his tutelage, acted as his substitute and carried the prestige of his name. Dr. Joseph Pancoast's greatest distinction was won as surgical clinician. His anatomical lectures were made rich in practical information by his faculty of looking at the dry bones and other anatomical details as things highly interesting to the surgeon, from their relation to various surgical maladies. Among the great surgeons who played their parts in the history of the institution he had been a most conspicuous figure. On the death of President J. R. Burden, in 1877, the Board of Trustees elected E. B. Gardette as his successor. The failing health of Dr. Rand fwho was a man of marked character though not brilliantj having necessitated his resignation, Dr. Robert E. Rogers, the new appointee, brought to the vacant chair an accession of strength by his twenty-five years of experience and reputation as Professor of Chemistry in the University of Pennsylvania. In this year the new Hospital was completed and in operation. Fronting on Sansom Street, it was bounded on three sides by streets and on the fourth side by a wide passageway. It was 107 feet square, five stories in height and could easily accommodate 125 patients. Much valuable material for clinical instruction was obtained from the outdoor department. The amphitheatre provided for operations and lectures seated more than 6oo spectators. The most approved appliances for heating and ventilation were provided, and infact the con- struction represented the best knowledge of the time. The clinical lectures were delivered daily, in the fall ani winter by the faculty, in the summer by the hospital staff, which was constituted as follows: Surgeons Physicians Gynecologists joHN H. li1uN'1'oN, M.D. J.

He was widely known as a medical author and in the Ohio Medical College had made his mark as a forcible and popular teacher. ln the session of 1879-80, Dr. J. Aitken Meigs being in his last illness, Dr. H. C. Chapman was called upon as Demonstrator of Physiology to deliver the course of lectures in that branch. In the following summer Dr. Chapman, equally successful as investigator and teacher, was promoted to the chair vacated bythe death of Dr. Meigs. The lectures of Dr. Meigs had been notable for their learning and literary finish, resembling in these qualities the style of his predecessor, Dunglison. As a method of teaching physiology it has given place to the superior course of experiment with instruments of precision. The new laboratory building was opened this same session adjoining the medical hall. It provided a room for section teaching in operative and minor surgery and spacious laboratories for practical chemistry, microscopy and physiology. The equipment for the uses of the student was thought at the time to be adequate, but year by year new and better apparatus was added until in the physiological laboratory the liberal expenditures of Professor Chapman provided a most extensive outfit for study and research. In this year Dr. Morris Longstrelh was appointed Demonstrator of Pathological Anatomy. He obtained material from the autopsies of the Pennsylvania and the jefferson Hospitals and gave instruction in pathological anatomy and histology. The laboratory of materia medica and pharmacy in the medical hall was equipped in the following year. Besides the necessary appliances for a practical course in pharmacy, a room was fitted up with instruments for special researches in the physiological action of remedies. These laboratories were put in charge of demonstrators under the supervision of the professors of each branch. The lectureship on ophthalmology held by Dr. William Thomson was made a professorship without seat in the faculty. At this time the statutes of Pennsylvania, like those of most American States, contained laws against the desecration of cemeteries, which if enforced would have made dissections next to impossible. Those in authority recognized that an educated physician must know his anatomy well or run the risk of liability to the law for malpractice, and this knowledge could be acquired only by dissection of the human body. But at intervals a person connected with a medical college would be caught in some overt act by officers sharing the vulgar prejudice and the law would be invoked to punish him. At the instance of Dr. W. S. Forbes, in 1866, a law had been enacted which partially obviated this by allowing dissections upon the unclaimed bodies in Philadelphia County. In 1882, urged on by the clamor of the sensational newspapers, a trial for desecration was brought against Dr. Forbes, while demonstrator of anatomy in the jefferson Medical College. He was triumphantly vindicated, but not without a publicity which was intensely annoying and for a time injurious to his pro- fessional practice. It was some compensation for this disagreeable experience that his prosecution brought him the sympathy of his pro- fessional brethren and excited an agitation in the ranks of the medical profession, which was communicated to other enlightened citizens and thus Dr. Forbes became the instrument which caused the enactment of a perfected anatomical bill, not only legalizing dissections, but 27 QI.

A desire to take repose after a lifetime of ceaseless mental toil caused Professor Gross, in 1882, to resign the chair of surgery, which he had made illustrious for twenty-six years. He received the honor of being named jifrfcrsor e11zc1'z'!1r.r. After two years of retirement he died in his seventy-ninth year. Samuel D. Gross, M.D., Ll..D. Edin., D.C.I.. Oxon., LL. D. Cantab., was born near Easton, Pa. At the age of twenty-three he was graduated doctor of medicine in the third class that went forth from jeH'erson Medical College. After live years of practice he became Demonstrator of Anatomy in the Medical College of Ohio, and with this office began his career of medical teacher, which lasted for forty-nine years. After seven years of hard work, in which he produced a treatise on the Bones and Joints, and another on Pathological Anatomy, he was elected Professor of Surgery in the University of Louisville. He held this position for sixteen years, in the meantime growing to be the chief surgeon of the Southwest and helping to make the school the leading medical centre west of the Alleghenies. In 1856, he succeeded Miitter in the faculty of his Afma jlhlcr, dedicating to her the remainder of his life. In the years of his connection with jefferson Medical College he delivered twenty-six annual courses of lectures, published his great ' System of Surgery, edited for some years the U North American Medico-Chirurgical Review, wrote many articles for the journals and addresses notable for eloquence and lucidity. He was a skillful operator, careful in diagnosis and profoundly versed in pathology. His lectures were made acceptable in a high degree by his imposing presence, animated gestures, sonorous voice and earnest manner. Consecrated to a work in which he excelled, he was honored in life and in death is destined to a lasting fame. In their endeavor to make good the loss entailed by the withdrawal of Dr. Gross, the Trustees provided that surgical instruction should be given by two professors, and elected his son, S. W. Gross, M.D., Professor of the Principles of Surgery and Clinical Surgery, and J. H. llrinton, M.D., Professor of Practice of Surgery and Clinical Surgery, the last named a teacher of many years' experience, who had achieved distinction as a surgeon in the late war. The declining health of Dr. Wallace compelled him in 1883 to resign the chair of obstet- rics, which he had adorned for many years. His was a strong personality, shown in his power of impressing permanently upon the minds of his pupils his clean-cut ideas. The vacancy was filled by the election of Theophilus Parvin, M.D., LI..lJ., of Indianapolis, widely known as a writer and as a professor in several medical colleges. ' The long and distinguished service of Dr. R. E. Rogers as teacher of chemistry came to a close by his decease in 1885. Excelling in the art of illustration by striking experiments, the exposition of his difficult science lacked nothing for clearness of speech, while his delivery was always agreeable. For the session of 1884-85 the lectures were delivered by Professor J. W. Mallet, M.D., LL. D., F.R.S., who at the end of the session returned to his former position in the University of Virginia. The chair was filled by the appointment of J. W. Holland, M.D., who had thirteen years' experience as professor in the University of Louisville. 29 PERFECT FIT SCOURING AND REPAIRING GUARANTEED NEATLY DONE ci-IAS. F.

By the resignation of Dr. W. H. Pancoast in 1886 a vacancy was made in the chair of anatomy, which was hlled by the promotion of Dr. W. S. Forbes, who for seven years had performed satisfactorily the duties of demonstrator. Dr. Bartholow laid aside the cares of the deanship in 1887-88 and the faculty chose Dr. Holland for this duty. In the next year provision was made for a better use of the hospital facilities by the creation of five clinical leetureships, which were first administered as follows: Orthopaedic Surgery, O. H. Allis, M.D., Laryngology, C. li. Sajous, M.D., Chtldren's Diseases, O. P. Rex, M.D. g Dermatology, A. Van Harlingen, M. D. 5 Renal Diseases, J. C. Wilson, M.D. The death of President Gardette was followed by the election of Hon. james Campbell in the year 1889. The untimely death of Dr. W. Gross occurred in the spring of that year. Profoundly versed in surgical pathology, he was a warm advocate of the antiseptic system in surgery, just then coming into vogue, and did much to establish it as the ruling method at the Hospital. In his lectures he was clear and emphatic, his discourse sweeping on in a river of words all bearing directly towards his definite aim. In his stead was appointed W. W. Keen, M.D., who had made a name equally distinguished in medical letters, medical teaching and as an operator. With the session of T890-QI a chair known as the Honorary Professorship of Laryngology was created for Dr. J. Solis-Cohen, whose standing in this department was of the highest. The rules 11ow required that all matriculates wl1o could not show a certificate from an academy or college of asuitable preliminary education should pass an entrance examination in linglish and in Elementary Physics. A graded curriculum extending over three years was also required. At the close of the session 1890-91 Dr. J. M. Da Costa, having taught clinical medicine and practice of medicine to loving and admiring classes for twenty-four years in this institution, resigned his chair, accepting the title of jv'1W.r.i'or cmfrz'l1u. His successor, J. C. Wilson, M. D., had made his mark in medical letters and n1edieal teaching while engrossed with the cares of a large professional practice. Owing to the poor health of Professor Bartholow in this session the course on Materia Medica and Therapeutics was conducted partly by Professor Holland and partly by Dr. A. P. Brubaker.

Hare, M.D., who had made a name by his researches in physiological therapeutics and as a lecturer on the diseases of children. Dr. Morris Longstreth was promoted from the lectureship to the professorship of General Pathology and Pathological Anatomy. In 1882 Hon. Joseph Allison, LL.D., was elected president and E. E. Montgomery, M.D., recently professor in the Medico- Chirurgical College, was appointed Professor of Clinical Gynecology with a seat in the faculty. The next live years form a period of active evolution, with many additions to the teaching corps. The faculty chair of ophthalmology, the hrst incumbent of which was Dr. William Thomson, after his resignation was occupied by George E. de Schweinitz, M.D., late professor in the Polyclinic College, while W.

Coplin, M.D., recently professor in Vanderbilt University, became the successor of Dr. Longstreth in the chair of pathology and bacteriology. The three-years' course was now in operation and successful to a surprising degree, the matriculation list reaching 711 in the session of 1894-95. The additional time gave opportunity for the introduction into the curriculum of various special branches of practice as required studies. A body of ffclinical professors was instituted and the appointees chosen were men of recognized ability and experience. Though without a voice at the faculty meetings, each was put at the head of a clinic with a staff of assistants serving as instructors to the third-year class, which for this work was divided into sections of convenient size. The list of newly-appointed clinical professors was as follows : i Henry W. Stelwagon, M.D., Dermatology, H. Augustus Wilson, M.D., Orthopedic Surgery, Edwin E. Graham, M.D., Diseases of Children, F. X. Dercum, M.D., Diseases of the Nervous System, Orville Horwitz, M.D., Genito-Urinary Diseases, Edward P. Davis, M.D., Obstetrics, S. MacCuen Smith, M.D., Otology, W. Joseph Hearn, M.D., Surgery, Howard F. Hansell, M.D., Ophthalmology, Wm. S. jones, M.D., Laryngology, D. .llradcn Kyle, M.D., Laryngology, j. Chalmers lJaCosta, M.D., Surgery, J. M. llarton, M.D., Surgery. A great many changes were made in the curriculum which, though small in themselves, in the aggregate transformed the course, making it more varied, more thorough and more practical. Although the course had been extended to three years and each term lengthened six weeks, the demands of a rapidly growing science created a need for more time. A compulsory four-years' course was announced to go into effect june 1, 1895. As this'step was taken antecedent to a like action on the part of rival colleges, it was in full' view of the fact that it would entail for a few years diminished revenues, to balance which no guarantee fund had been raised. The wisdom of this step has been shown by the fact that the graduating class of 1898, made up of students who have taken the four-years' graded course, was much larger than was expected. This was a long stride in advance, how long may be best appreciated by a retrospect. The science, which five years before had been represented by seven chairs, now called for twenty chairs, didactic and clinical, each standing for a distinct branch of medical teaching. To direct the students' work it required nine demonstrators, twenty assistants and ten instructors. ln the olden time there was but one laboratory-the dissecting-room. Now not only had suitable buildings been provided for the new laboratories, but these were furnished with expensive apparatus to which yearly additions were made. Where once there had been no clinical instruction except in the two general clinics on medicine and surgery, there were now not only these lectures, but instruction was given to each student at the side of the patient in twelve separate clinical rooms and wards. The ten clinical professors had thirteen chief assistants and fifty-six subordinates, making a total of one hundred and thirty-seven members of the teaching corps in the College and Hospital combined. When attempting to raise endowments to carry out the expensive improvements they had projected, the Trustees and Faculty often encountered the objection that as the receipts in excess of expenditures were divided among the lfaculty, they were practically asking for money to be given to the Faculty, and not to the cause of medical education or suffering humanity. ln order to end this system, complete 33 reorganization was effected by the Trustees, which was cheerf11lly accepted by the Faculty. By their act of February 1, 1895, entire control of the College and Hospital was assumed by the Trustees, the Faculty receiving salaries in lie11 of a proportion of the net receipts. The College was put under the supervision of a standing committee of seven Trustees elected annually. Another committee of like character had charge of the Hospital. Hon. Edwin H. Fitler had succeeded judge Allison as President in 1893. After holding office for two years, he had retired, and at the time of the reorganization Hon. joseph li. Townsend, LL.D., was President. His death in 1896 left a vacancy, which was filled by the election of Hon. William Potter. President Potter, unlike his venerable predecessors, was in the prime of life. ln carrying o11t his College and Hospital enterprises he had need for all his native energy and tenacity of purpose. These qualities were sup- plemented by knowledge of affairs and tact gained by his experience in the world of affairs and diplomacy. A Since the opening of the Hospital in 1877, which event has been previously referred to, it had been a great factor in medical teaching as well as in the c11re of disease. Primarily intended as a hospital for teaching medical SlllClClll.S, this feature had been found to 1'CClOlllltl to the advantage ofthe patients. It lad at command without cost the professional services of leading practitioners of medicine, surgery and the specialties, chosen for eminent ability. The surgical and other treatment had been done openly under the eye of curious critics, quick to detect inefficiency and to condemn neglect. A bright light of publicity beat upon the clinician which inspired him to do his best for the case in hand. The pezcentage of baming and difficult cases had been unusually large. From the city and all parts of this and neighboring States patients suffering from complicated disorders were sent to this clinic for diagnosis and treatment. Those calling for greater skill in surgery than the ordinary practitioner can acquire were far from rare. To meet the call for the latest appliances a costly Rocntgen Ray apparatus was pat in, and proved its value at once by wonlerful results. The building was commonly overcrowded, especially for the hours between eleven and two. Not only was all the suitable room in the building occupied, but the side corridors and dark closet-like places under the amphitheatre were daily thronged with patients. ln the Report for 1896, the Director summarizes the ward work as amounting to 1561 cases, and the dispensary service, counting old and new cases together, to 95,777, making a grand total of 97,338. The dispensary service of the many special clinics often reached a daily total of 403 patients, th: daily average for the year being over 3oo. It has been stated in the otiicial reports that in the year 1895, the surgical department of the Hospital used ISI miles of muslin and IOO9 miles of gauze bandages. ln nineteen years since its foundation there were new patients treated in the out-patient service, surgical I3I,I37, medical 58,974, and in the wards 29,00I, making a total of 2I9,I 12. lh1s would not inel11de the service rendered by more prolonged treatment, which wo11ld average five times the figures just q11oted, or 1,095,579 consultations in nineteen years. The accident work of the hospital gre1v to great proportions, reaching a total in 1896 of 1729 cases. its central location was well adapted for the care of SllCl1 patients, who were quickly brought to its door by an active ambulance service. The disproportion between the facilities afforded and the act11al needs of the ins itution became so marked that in 1892 the maternity ward was removed from its 34 cramped and unsuitable quarters in the Hospital to a rented building, No. 327 Pine Street. The increased expenses entailed were met partly by the Trustees and partly by private subscriptions raised by a Board of Lady Managers in charge of this department. The success of this branch was mainly due to the personal efforts of the ladies whose chairman was Mrs. lil. D. Gillespie. In 1896, 117 women inmates sought its shelter, and 80 more were delivered at their homes. Many of these, when discharged, were provided with employment. By affiliation with other charities, tl1e devoted managers were able to care for the homeless children, and exert an elevating moral influence upon those who came to them for help. The nurses of the Training School and the students of the College received special instruction at the Maternity from its medical director, Prof. li. l'. Davis, M D. It was soon found that this building was overtaxed, and accordingly a more commodious house, 224 South Seventh Street, was taken in the autumn of 1894. In 1891, a Training School for Nurses was established in connection with the Hospital, by which a great improvement was obtained in the character of the nursing. A well qualified Directress had charge ofthe School, who was assisted in the teachingby lecturers who gave annual courses to the nurses on subjects related to their employment. On December 31, 1896, there were 38 pupil nursesin the School. Owing to the cramped quarters at the Hospital, the Trustees in 1893 rented No. SIS Spruce Street, as a Nurses' Home, and secured other rooms for the male nurses on Sansom Street above ldleventh. Later they provided more convenient accommodations by removing to 2 26 South Seventh Street. To maintain the Hospital in its benefieent work appeal was made to the Legislature. The appeal was not in vain. Annually for six years or more the deficit in running expenses was reduced by the 55000 a year donated by the State. In 1892 the sum of SlO0,000 was appropriated to aid in the construction of a new building better suited to the demands of the time than the twenty-year-old structure, found inadequate in many ways. To obtain this sum, the Trustees were required to raise a large amount outside and begin work within two years. The business depression of 1893 arrested all progress in this direction and the appropriation became inoperative. In 1894 the Legislature confirmed the action of their predecessors, and with this donation a six-storied building was purchased, situated at the corner of Tenth and Moravian Streets, adjacent to the Hospital. In the two lower floors of this building, called the H Hospital Annex, temporary quarters were arranged for certain special clinics by constructing partitions and hallways. A receiving and an examining room were provided for each of the following out-patient departments: Diseases of Children, of the lflye, of the Throat and Nose, of the Ear, of the Nervous System and of the Skin. In the main building were still housed the dispensaries for Genito-Urinary Diseases and Diseases of Women, beside those for General Medicine and Surgery. ln 1896, the alumni having contributed 510,000 to purchase laboratory appliances, which were of the most recent a.nd improved pattern, and necessarily very expensive, the Trustees set apart three upper floors for the elaborate study of diseases, required by the advanced science of the day. It was at the time considered the most complete hospital laboratory in this country. The entire floors were renovated from top to bottom, with new plumbing, electric lights and steam heat. Abundant light sl1one in through large windows on three sides. On the fourth floor was the laboratory for studying the normal conditions of the tissues and fluids of the body. Each investigator was 35 furnished with a locked desk of substantial make for holding the apparatus needed in his study. Other cases were placed about the room for holding reagents, chemical apparatus, microtomes, blood measures and forty microscopes. Opening into the laboratory was a record room for keeping the reports and' archives. On the fifth floor was the laboratory for studying diseased conditions of the tissues and fluids. The furniture was much the same as that on the fourth floor 5 the instruments were adapted to taking observations of morbid changes in the blood in tumors and inflamed structures. The thirty microscopes belonging to this laboratory were of high magnifying power and with very delicate means of adjustment. Connecting with it was a photographic dark-room with appliances for developing the X-ray pictures taken from the Hospital eases. On the sixth floor was the laboratory for investigating the causes of disease. The bacterial germs of infec- tion were here studied with reference to their detection and destruction. Here the means of disinfection could be tested, adulterations of food proven and reports made upon sewage pollution and the effects of filtration upon drinking water. The direction of these hospital laboratories was given to Professor Coplin and to H. F. Harris, M.D., who was made Associate Professor of Pathology and Bacteriology, assisted by Dr. Randle C. Rosenberger as demonstrator, all of them trained experts in this new field of study. In order to extend the benefits of these laboratories to the many physicians whose college education did not include this advanced culture, the Trustees instituted a system of summer work for post-graduates of medicine, in no way interfering with the regular under-graduate winter instruction. Having established laboratories and some of the clinics in this building, it was soon found that, although the Hospital congestion had been relieved somewhat, every inch of floor space was occupied and more room demanded. The urgency of this need developed a more far-reaching plan, which should provide for the needs of this great charity through a long period of time. A great modern hospital has been projected, the ground for that purpose being the site of the old college building, extending from Tenth to juvenal Streets, and from Sansom to Moravian Streets. When the new College building is finished, it is proposed to begin the undertaking of constructing a building that shall be liberally planned for the use of the sick poor and for the education of physicians in the most improved bedside methods. The new hall and laboratories now occupy the corner of Tenth and Walnut Streets, a description of which is given on page 39. They will be ready for use in june, 1899. By an act signed in june, 1897, the Legislature appropriated S2S,OOO a year for Hospital maintenance for two years, and 550,000 toward extending the Hospital by new buildings. It is hoped that this will enable the Trustees to keep the Hospital as well as the College in the van of the scientihc institutions of the day. In the winter of 1897-98 occurred the death of Professor Theophilus Parvin. For many years he had enjoyed an international repu- tati n as an authority in obstetrics. To this he joined accuracy in scholarship, a graceful literary style and a fervid eloquence peculiarly suited to public occasions. The vacant chair was hlled by giving to the clinical professor, li. P. Davis, the title of Professor of Obstetrics and the didactic as well as clinical lectures with a seat in the Faculty. To the professor of clinical gynecology, E. P. Montgomery, was assigned the title Professor of Gynecology, his work to be both didactic and clinical. With commodious -buildings, a liberal outfit of 36 E I 1 modern apparatus, a teaching corps united and enthusiastic, a large body of loyal alumni and students, every member of the College thrills with joyous expectation as if parts of the frame of a mighty eagle that preens her wings for her noblest flight. THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES The names given below include Grst the members of the original Board of ten Trustees, residing in Philadelphia, who stood by the struggling school through all its dark days, and after them their successors appointed from time to time to fill vacancies. The names of those holding office at present are printed in 1'la!1'rs. The institution has been fortunate in the character ofthe public-spirited men of business and the members of the liberal professions that have been enlisted in its service. With no recompense, save the consciousness of helping indirectly to relieve human suffering, they have ever guarded the interests of the College with watchful eyes. Rev.

For some years the Trustees have struggled with the problem ' how to provide for the present and future classes under a curriculum constantly developing with the advancement of science. It is believed that the new buildings present a solution satisfactory as far as they go. A much enlarged hospital building is projected which will supplement the new hall and adequately proyide for every modern feature in medical education. ' The new hall, tire-proofin construction, is at the corner of Tenth and Walnut Streets, with a front on Walnut ofonc hundred and eighteen feet, the side is joined to the new laboratory building, thus ext nding one hundred and eight feet on Tenth Street and one hundred and eighteen feet on Moravian Street. lhtween the two buildings is a large light well, and along the entire length of the building stretches a wide skylight, which with the three surrounding streets give an abundance of light. This situation has been chosen as the best for the purpose, because its central location insures a constant supply of clinical immaterial at the dispensaries and at the Hospital, besides having the advantage of nearness to the Pennsylvania Hospital. The exterior is designed in formal English Renaissance, so as to suggest its academic uses, with a regularity of construction in such marked col.- trast with the heterogeneous buildings surrounding it as to enhance the dignity of its noble propor- tions. The color scheme is gray, the basement is of gray granite, the superstructure of gray brick and terra-cotta. The construction is tire-proof throughout. The facade has a well-marked horizontal division into three parts by a moulded string course between the second and third floors, a highly-ornamental main cornice crowning the fifth story, with the sixth story as an attic. The Walnut Street front has a vertical division of three parts corresponding to the arrangement of rooms within 3 the two lateral parts are symmetrical, the central part begins with a classic porch and live tiers of triple windows and balcgnies, belonging to the fire-tower. The entrance portal admits to a tiled lloored vestibule, hall, lobby, main stairs and passenger elevator. The basement is occupied mainly by rooms devoted to the recess hours of the students, i. c., a large well-equipped gymnasium with lockers and shower-baths, a lavatory 3 rooms for billiards, for reading and smoking, and for storage of bicycles. The first Iloor contains a reception-room for visitors, the clerk's rooms, with telephone communication to the public wires and to different floors 3 t' e Dean's ofnce, Trustees-room, library fully supplied with the newest medical books and lJL'I'lOLllCZl.l5j kitchen and pantry for receptions3 recitation-room, 39 f .fi--- ' - A SYSTEM - ' 2.1, I gA IRQ I 'AVA 5 CONSTRUCTION Consisting of RAPP PATENT FIREPROOF FLOOR ARCHES RAPP PATENT STEEL STUD WIRE LATH PARTITION RAPP PATENT METAL COVERED DOORS AND SHUTTERS MANUFACTURED UNDER THE PATENTS John W.

NEW YORK CITY . 40 ? professors' private rooms, first story of the lower amphitheatre, and a room for students' lockers. The second floor has a large museum room, newly equipped by the donation of Charles Smith, Esq. It will store in the best manner for study the great collections of the late Professor Samuel D. Gross, of the late Professor Parvin, of Emeritus Professor DaCosta, and a large collection of models, preparations and specimens, with a laboratory for the study of morbid anatomy, and the seeongl story ofthe amphitheatre. The third floor is occupied by a large lecture hall brilliantly lighted, connecting with a chemical apparatus room, a smaller lecture hall with large windows and having com- munication with the private room of the Professor of Physiology, the apparatus room and the laboratory of physiology. The fourth floor completes the upper part of the two lecture halls, and provides a laboratory for instruction in bandaging and obstetric manipulations and a storage room. The fifth floor is occupied by the first story of the upper amphitheatre, the dissecting-room two stories high, unusually well lighted by two tiers of windows and a skylight extending the whole length of the room, the laboratory for operative surgery, four private rooms for professors and Prosector, and a large locker room for students. The sixth floor is occupied by the upper story of the amphi- theatre and dissecting room, an incinerating furnace and bone library. Almost every floor has a lavatory. The system for heating and ventilation embodies the latest principles and is entirely adequate. Fresh air is taken from above the building through a special shaft blown by an enormous fan over a heating stack of steam coils and forced into every room. At the top of the exit shafts accelerators exhaust the foul air from every room by a system of flues. THE NEW LABORATORY BUILDING The College has ten large laboratories for students, and seventeen smaller private rooms for individual research. Most of these are provided for in the structure which adjoins the medical hall and is directly connected with it. In the basement are the boilers, engines and two dynamos for the heating and ventilation plant, for the two elevators and for the refrigerating apparatus which keeps the cold storage room at a low temperature for preserving the subjects without immersion in brine. The iirst floor is occupied by a large laboratory of pharmacy, and a room used for recitations and for the students' societies. The second floor is occupied by a large laboratory of toxicology, a pharmacy storage-room and two private rooms for research by professors. The third floor provides a large laboratory for physiology, a chemical storagesroom, a chemical preparation and a weighing room. The fourth floor has a large laboratory for normal histology, a room for storage and two private rooms for pathological research. The fifth floor has a large laboratory for pathological histology, a room for storage and one for the Demonstrator of Anatomy. On the sixth floor are the laboratory of bacteriology, the animal room, the experimental operating room and the private research room of pathology. All the student laboratories are lighted by windows on three sides besides incandescent electric lights, have individual desks and outfits entirely under the control of the students while working. This equipment was provided in part by funds subscribed by the alumni, it has among other notable features one hundred and fifty microscopes of the most recent make, a complete outfit for electric lantern projection and one for photography, besides the microtomes, models and other apparatus required for thorough study. , 41 oyer, Close gt C .

Sodium Phosphate A MILD PLEASANT AND TASTELESS LAXATIVE A Specific in Constipation, ChiIdren's Diarrhtea, Obesity, jaundice, Rickets, etc. Sodium Phosphate has long been the favorite purgative, inasmuch as it acts gently but surely, has little or no taste, and is easily taken by clnldrc n and deli- cate persons. In the present form-the efiervescent-it is a delightful remedy, constituting a refreshing sparkling draught ot' bland action. Sodium Phosphate is ri mild but certain hepatic stimulant, and relaxes the bowels both by promoting an excretion of bile and hy acting directly upon the mucous membrane of the intestines. It does not cause f' griping, nor does it dernnge the stomach or excite nausea, unlike many other purgatives, it has a lienelicial efiect upon the digestion, stimulating the lluw of gastric juice.

Manufactured by SMITH, KLINE 81: FRENCH CO. Philadelphia, Pa. CLASS HISTORY By W. H. SQUIRES PREFACE . HE author of this history was born of poor, but honest parents some time during the present century, and has endeavored to write an authentic history of a body of men whose monuments in future generations will be found in public squares in all cities and towns in the United States. Knowing that his subject is necessarily a dry one the writer begs your indulgence fora few moments only. This history will be divided into five periods, and we will begin by taking up the first or prodromal. It was during the last week in September, 1895, that a man was seen to get off of the top of a pas- senger-coach at the Pennsylvania Railroad station in this city. He was immediately surrounded by an inquisi- tive crowd who found that he carried a Gray's Anatomy under one arm and a small trunk under the other, and that his hip-pocket was the resting-place for a large revolver, When questioned, he said his name was A. H. Brown, from Oregon, and that he had come to Philadelphia to study medicine. On being told that medical students rarely used a revolver or an Anatomy, when they could avoid doing so, he seemed dis- . appointed and said that his companion, C. M. Pearce, who was coming on later in a cattle car for the same W' H' Sq l s object, had misinformed him concerning the requisites. Among those found loitering in the corridors during preliminary lectures were J. W. Croft, P. C. Ellis, with his brown derby and gray suit, and H. F. Gross, the man who boarded at the jefferson Laundry during his first term. 'l'hen there was G. M. Ferguson who was just. re-learning the English language, 15. H. Hayman was seen- asking questions on all subjects, Budd l.ewis was there with his abnormally large smile, and A. J, Winebrake, the man with the great appetite, was found out on thc steps with ,his eyes fixed on Hart's restaurant. Texas S. J. Smith was seen flashing his diamond in the Dean's office, while Charles Post and C. C. Lambert were trying to get acquainted with the Clerk, who was somewhat suspicious of them. There were numerous other men there that deserve worthy mention. One of them is E. B. Packer, who not only raised an interest among students in Young Men's Christian Association work, but also has since raised a crop of nutmeg whiskers. D. li. Beggs, the singer, was also among the throng. 53 WampoIe's Terfecfea' ana' Tasfeless 9-'reparafion of Cod Liver Oil This preparation is a palatable solution of the alkaloidal and other medicinal principles of Cod Liver Oil in a menstruum of Malt Extract, com- bined with Compound Syrup of Hypophosphites fcontaining Lime, Soda, Potassium, Iron, Man- ganese, Quinine and Strychniaj and Fluid Extract of Wild Cherry. Its use is indicated in all diseases that are attended with emaciation, in scrofulous, syphilitic and other skin eruptions, and it is especially useful as a laxative. It never nauseates or creates a disgust for food, but on the contrary, makes the patient hungry, with improved appetite and ability to assimilate food. An increase in weight is also noticeable from the initial dose. For twelve years physicians in every part of the world have been prescribing it, with uniformly good results and we feel that, aside from any claims of ours, its worth has been established by the very best testi- monial possible, i. r., the universal endorsement of 0000 the medical profession.

MERCK 65 COMPANY UNIVERSITY 'PLACE NEW YORK The Class of '99 was a small one compared with '96 and ,97, there being only about one hundred in it 3 but it was the first class that elected class officers during its Freshman year. The following officers were elected for the year 1895-96: E. H. Irvine, President, S. J. Smith, Vice-President, H. E. Gray, Treasurer, and F. M. Cleveland, Secretary. It was during this year that our old '99 banner was purchased. It has been guarded with jealous care, and now we leave it as a memento to future Jeffersonians. One of the most important social events that occurred during the first year was the class banquet given at the Hotel Hanover. We only speak about it as a thing long to be remembered, not only by the '99 veterans, but more especially by the proprietor and servants of the hotel. . At the beginning of the term of 1896-97 al number of new men were added to our class. Among them we find the names of C. j. Cavanagh, whose face is well known, William Prettyman Hearn, whose middle name would be more becoming to other members of the class, J. W. Hebsacker, the general interpreter of the out-patient department, W. N. Lackey, of typhoid fame, William R. Lockett, the man who forced unwilling bacteria through cotton gloves, Tyler Faticus Merriweather, from Illinois, and the gentle fl. C. Moore, from Delaware. This was the year that our Mr. james Harvey Spruance, Ph.G., politician, statesman and ward heeler, came and dwelt among us- and Satan came also. Other dark horses appeared. Lewis Reese was hrst discovered at this time, and the class had their first gaze at the lovely Charles Clifton Royce. Scott W. Law, also appeared, and has since made himself immortal by shouting, Steady there ! to his first charity patient. And last but not least, E. R. Kennedy, who was the lr-17!-m'gc1z'champion story-teller of the class for m1ny months, but whose laurels were finally wrested from him by his unpretending but dilatable room-mate, William Ananias Ostrander. , The great event of the second year was the strike, which resulted in a brilliant victory for both lfacnlty and students. The officers forthe second year were: B. F. Royer, President, S. J. Smith, Vice-President, A. J. Winebrake, Secretaryg D. B. Beggs, Treasurer. We entered the third year of our college work with bright prospects for the future, with the following new members: S. M. Cowgill, C. C. Joyner, J. W. Kennedy, J. li. Nobles, F. Kleeberg, S. W. Perry, H. D. Peterson, R. Pollock and tl. P. Wimberly. The following class officers were elected: li. R. Kennedy, President, J. W. Croft, Vice-President, D. li. lleggs, Secretary, S. XV, Law, Treasurer. This was a year of Pathology and Therapeutics. Post-mortems were held every week during the term, and quite a nmnber after examinations. Dr. Rosenberger, of the bacteriological laboratory, will long be remembered, especially by the fat men. His laboratory, 65 situated on the fifth floor, caused many a strong heart to palpitate in reaching it, and many a man could not answer his questions from sheer loss of breath. How dear to our hearts are the cirrhotic livers Which morbid anatomy presented to view, The red hepatized lung, and the gray that stood near it, And the amyloid spleen that none of us knew 3 The formalin-soaked kidney-the cloudy-white kidney, The horse-shoe shaped kidney that hung in the jar. None of us will forget the course of surgery in the third year, how Dr. Spencer instructed us hy operations on the cadaver in the laboratory, and the hne clinical and didactic course we received from Professors ,Keen and Brinton. During our Junior year we were saddened by the death of that eminent scholar and teacher, Professor Theophilus Parvin, whose valuable instruction and kindly sympathy the class had always enjoyed. Professor Edward P. Davis completed the course for the year and later was elected to fill the vacant chair. During the first half of the term Professor Hare was unable to lecture, owing to an attack of enteric fever. Meantime his place was occupied by Professor de Schweinitz. On his return he was given a hearty welcome. The final year, the year of all years, with its joys and sorrows, came at last. We missed many familiar faces from our ranks, but many new members were registered. Among them were the following: R. A. Clifford, C. E. Allison, H. E. Boice, j. l.. Tuttle, J. A. Yeager, A. G. Holbrook, T. K. Moore, Dudley Fulton, C. A. Hofer, C. R. Neare, R. D. Webb, O. W. Thomason, P., M. Keller, IC. C. Dollard, S. S. Harriman, C. A. O'Neil, C. H. Williams, H. A. Boulet, M. I.. Downs, A. H. Dunham, H. Sobenheimer and S. Clark. After attending the preliminary course and settling down to regular lectures a meeting of the class was called and the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, J. W. Longfellow, of Maine, Vice-President, j.'Harvey Spruance, of Delaware, Secretary, J. H. Oram, of New jersey, Poet, A. C. Lee, of Pennsylvania, Orator, W. R. Lockett, of Tennessee, Prophet, F. M. Cleveland, of New York, l-Iistorian, W. H. Squires, of New York. Q Our last year was decidedly a year of toil. Every man knew what was expected of him and worked accordingly. In looking over the registry we find that only thirty-hve men who were here thefirst year remain with us. Some have given up their studies, while others have gone to colleges having less rigid examinations. College examinations are things of the past, but State Boards still stare us in the face. College life will soon be a dream and we hope active practice a living reality. Tne history of the fourth year is still fresh in our memories. How we worked, worried and strained our nerves to obtain the coveted 66 IQ have met here to-day in May l' mention a few names, but I cannot do justice parchment ! No one will forget his first case, which, under the skillful direction of Dr. Wells or Dr. Coles, terminated so successfully. And who could forget, especially if he was hit, the old water-soaked towels that always flew through the air before lectures. In reviewing our work of the past year we must admit that our clinical course and bedside instruction was uncqualled, and although students in the future will have a new and better college, they will never have better instructors than we have had during our stay at old jefferson. lt is our painful duty to chronicle the death of two of our worthy fellow-members-Mr. P. 'l'. Coleman, who died during the last of the year in 1896, and Mr. Raleigh Robinson, who died in 1898. 'l'he history is closed. We are the last of the old College. The walls familiar to voices that made jefferson great will soon be a thing of the past. Like all human organizations, like all human constructions, she must pass away , but her memories will always be held sacred in the hearts of all her sons. A CLASS PGEM ALVIN C. LEE, OF PENNSYLVANIA this place so familiar, To recall a brief summary of the four years gone by. Many things since have happened that we here cannot mention. This day is our day, let it stand in memory. Our thoughts now revert to the hrst hours we spent here , Beginners in that of which we knew little. Many questions were asked, and but few of these were answered. ff They are freshmen, they'll catch on 5 so we did. Alvin C. Lee. To those who among you are worthy of praises, Who have met the world's gaze and her cold arm resented , Who have laid for themselves a pontoon well sounded. There is Winebrake of a lusty type, - Who shaves the hair when the ulcer is ripe, Who curets the boils and hstulous tracts, Not a single thing this surgeon lacks. Herbert Bostock, from Norristown, A pharmacist and druggist of great renown, Who dishes out elixirs and squills: He says: Girls, they won't hurt you, but cure your ills You may have a sample free. Oh, where is the man by the name of Bender, A man quite short, with features slender. Perhaps he has gone to the Medico-Chi With the rest of our boys who were quite awry. Lackey, who sits with feet higher than head 5 The smile on his face tells the worst has not come 5 Oft has he waited for the worst to appear, A man with an appetite from ear to ear. A jackson who stands like a wall all alone, With pulvis effervescens he the enemy has shown, No matter how strong be their buttress of stone- With one smokeless powder, and the rest is well known. Benjamin Packer, honest as the day, Yes, often have you heard him say: Come to our meeting on Sabbath day, An illustrious clergy to sing and pray. And how about the tall man Yeager, A luckier man you never did see, A search-light at the Peace jubilee, For he measures at least six feet three. There is Duffield, J., and Van Sciver, X. 3 They come from Camden's picturesque They tell you of wave and muffled oar- A four years' voyage complete. A shore Doctors come and doctors go, Still Beggs sings the anthem soft and low 3- From hearts of triumph and hearts of woe. When out with the ladies he'll never go. Ostrander and Kennedy, whom daily you meet, Whether in Congress Halls or on Market Street, Their melodious voices, you hear how they ring, H All bound 'round with a woolen string. A well-known gentleman, Colonel Ellis, Who, if we strayed, would surely tell us. There is hope for you 5 I know l'm right, But none for him who goes out at night. A vote of thanks to Dr. Thornton, He well knew Therapy was our worst. For fear in the green room we got 5 He stuffed us fellows till we thought we'd burst. Doctor Rosenburg you have not forgot Schizomycetes and the hanging drop 5 Their growth upon bouillon and agar-agar He taught us each successive crop. ff Who is Longfellow ? you ask, as he moves to and fro With fearless advances, with far-seeing eye. Has he written the line moulding the iron-clad heart? No, he is our Captain, Napoleon of war. Again, who is Shepard, who peers above us all? The Sandow of Sandows of Ohio is he. He dreams of new visions ne'er dreamed of before. The man is not born whom Old Shep. cannot score. Upon a Winter's night, when all were at peace, Not a sound could be heard save the cackling of geese, Suddenly t' Onward was given , ff All men to the front ! Y? Right forward! Fours right! Ready! Load! Recover arms l At such critical moment great nations have fallen, Their once gayly colors now trailed in the dust. Our position we held and honor we likewise. We are calm and enduring, but charge when we must. Our banner, glorious banner ! Oh, long may it wave, Unfurling a treasure for the needy to save. With Blue and the Black and tinsel so rare, Our emblem is our banner as it floats in the air. The ladies of Jefferson, they receive our best tribute. Angel food and lemonade was a part of our course. No doubt, they already have found themselves wondering How pyramids of ice-cream before us melted like snowflakes. Into our midst came a man who proved to be traitor , To headquarters carried stories of great things and small, Our mortars belched forth with a storm of hot missiles. One round with best tactics was sufncient for all. To the Class of 19oo 2 You are our successors, To you leave our seats in row number one , E They are yours , go and take them , draw lines with all others. Our college days, most joyous days, 1-Iave slipped away like the noiseless breeze, Now others have come to take their place, For life at best is but a race. And now we as students are ready to part, Our long mutual friendships have bound us in heart, Our joys and our sorrows we have borne hand in hand , Many in one, in unity we stand. You are artists of Nature as l greet you this May, Subduing the evils that you lind on your way, Two hundred strong voices in unison say These years we've been students and are students to-day You have learned the deep mysteries which for centuries were unknown, ' 'l'he science and art to each has been shown , The Therapy and Practice of the present and past, And now you are joyful, you have won it at last. We are the last to commemorate in these sacred halls Where the surgeons immortal hath wonders wrought. A structure of splendor is the future abode, A broader view of science and technique untold. Psyche who stoops at the water's edge, Who views the scenes of the mystic deep, Bears a simile to he who for the unknown doth seek, We wish you all glory and success in the end.

' CCORDING to the myths of ancient Greece, all Grecian gods had bestowed upon them the faculty of foretelling future events, but in Apollo, the Sun God, was the concentration of all prophetic power, nothing escaping his all-seeing eye, which penetrated the most hidden recesses and bared the secrets which lay concealed behind the dark veil of the future. Ah ! Apollo ! wouldst thou were of tangible form, and within hearing of the tongues of IiIarth's mortals, that I might appeal to thee to utter to this Class of ,QQ prophecies of the healing art equal to those fulhlled by flisculapius, the God of Medicine. But why think of - tormenting the mythical gods by appealing to them to foretell events ofa people whose vast achievements of the nineteenth century mark it as one of marvelous progress, and whose capabilities throw into insigniticance the futile endeavors of old, decrepit, ptyalized Mercury, Nan? Jupiter, or hot-headed Pluto of hydrogen-sultid association ? I, myself, will rend asunder the obscuring veil and fearlessly gaze upon the panorama of futurity. lle that hath an ear let him hear that which heretofore has been enshrouded in mystery ! Ahramhamson, how vividly your name recalls to my mind that of Isaac of old. You have withstood the ' hery ordeal well and waited for thy diploma long. Success awaits thee ! It does not require the tongue of a prophet to predict that Royce will be eminent as a throat specialist, for who can fail to appreciate, upon gazing at the top of his head, that it will ever serve him well as a reflecting head mirror. .lt does not impress us as being strange to know that Merriweather is destined to establish a Rest Cure in Nowork, New jersey, where he will at all times be pleased to personally demonstrate to his patients proper methods of carrying out the rest treatment. There is but one thing which might possibly interfere with the success of our German friend, Hebsacker, and the rapid recovery of his enteric fever patients, namely, keeping them on cracker diet. It might not be amiss at the present time to suggest that an occasional meal of sauerkraut and Frankfurts would be less dangerous. S. J. Smith, Williams, Hearn and llrown may later be consulted as authorities upon alopeeiag they at least will be seen as bright and Francis M. Cleveland shining lights whenever their hats are removed. Gazing forward into the twentieth year period of futurity l behold the tall, erect, Lincoln-like figure of the Kentucky Colonel 70 slowly wending his way toward an Ohio River steamboat, contemplating a trip to Ghent as a relaxation from professional anxieties. The efficacy of his cures are dependent to a large extent upon the sedative effect produced by the low and silvery words of eloquence with which he cheers his patients in relating tales of Egyptian origin, and the sublimity with which he dwells upon a subject ever fondly cher- ished within his bosom, 'f The Immortality of the Soul. U J. W. Croft, M.D., Children's Diseases, is to appear upon a sign in one of our Pennsylvania sul.urbs, and why should it not? His answers at the practice quiz are not necessarily a criterion of his knowledge upon the subject, and a little patient may in aphthous stoma- titis have symptoms other than those of dribbling of saliva. I wish to sound a note of warning to several whose Darwinian connection seems to be evidenced bythe appearance of their hairy faces, l.aw, Ostrander, Peterson and Moore, who should never allow themselves to be found i11 close proximity of a zoological garden, lest their isolation from mankind be rendered inevitable. Another word of caution to lioulet. It is not advisable to solicit practice among maiden ladies of advanced years, who, as a rule, do not show well marked objective symptoms. To be thoroughly successful Ferguson must return to Germany, as the foreign accent gained while in Europe for a few days is suffi- cient to arouse in the United States a suspicion as to his American identity. Scull and Post are rather suggestive names for medical men, however, none but satisfactory terminations can result from their treatment of patients, as unsuccessful earthly cases may be referred to the Spiritual Department for hot-air treatment. In the wild and woolly West we see Pearce richly thriving, although the anemia of some of his patients would seem to indicate that bleeding had been practiced rather freely. Cowgill's Hobson-like face ensures for him a most enviable practice among the fair sex, and we are thoroughly convinced that he will ever prove himself to be most skillful in operations of osculation, and that in him the Captain of the flft.'l'1'l'lIlrZc' will find an active rival. We see as a daring and intrepid surgeon our Kansas friend, J. W. Kennedy, incising facial arteries for necrosis of the superior maxilla with a dexterity which baflles description. Located in the same Western town may frequently be seen upon his rounds Dr. Winebrake, who from his rotundity appears to favor the expansion policy. As a diagnostician he is a recognized authority, especially as regards cardiac affections, doubtless accounted for by the fact of his employing as a stethoscope an instrument combining the properties of both phonendo- scope and ear trumpet. A large proportion of Class '99 are inevitably predestined to drift into specialism, no doubt due to the fact of their having contracted or being predisposed to adections which necessarily lit them to treat these ailments in others, noticeably pre-eminent in this regard are E. R. Kennedy, Ostrander and Perry, who as specialists upon nervous diseases will prove eminently successful, and who within a few years will fill chairs in various rank colleges, as Baltimore Medical College Zllld Medico Chi. In their hands cases of paresis, of which a 7I prominent symptom is failure to either tell or recognize the truth, will show marked improvement, within a short time after graduation Kennedy will not be compelled to admit that he has never had a case. Others there are of our number whose individual futurity it were better should remain a mystical nonentity, lest in their divulgence the prophetic lips become parched from words of eloquence requisite to do justice to those whose greatness has not yet been indicated by outbursts of genius. , But for a moment let us lay aside thoughts upon empty pleasantries, and gaze upon the crystal waters of Life's future, whose riffled surface is flecked with ships of unlimited possibilities, buoyed up by waters of former achievements, Fellow-Classmen of '99, we shall go forth together. f- There will come alike the day of trial unto all, and the rude world will buffet us alike. Temptation hath a music for a'1 ears, and mad ambition trumpeteth to all, and the ungovernable thought within will be in every bosom eloquent, but when the silence and the calm come on, and the high seal of character is set, we shall not all be similar. The How of lifetime is a graduated scale, and deeper than the vanities of power, or the vain pomp of glory, there is writ a standard measuring its worth for heaven. The soul of man created its own destiny of power. Press on ! For it shall make you mighty among men 3 and from the eyrie of your eagle thought ye shall look down on monarchs. Lofty ambitions, Hxed determination of purpose and persistent endeavors, when carried forward by a man of any nationality, creed or protession, must ultimately not only render the fulfillment of prophesied success complete, but also engender within his bosom the peculiar satisfaction realized upon reaching the goal of fondest aspirations.

LOCKETT, OF TENNESSEE flbt f,l'6'J'l.rfL'llf, E'f!uff'-C!a.v.v1m1l1's, l.m1'1'1's amz' G1'llffflllL'll : . I-IE history of our past has been made, written and read, the Poet's muse has been awakened, and, hred by the poetic genius of the Class of '99, has sung of us in verses beautiful and significant 5 the pious and venerable Prophet, gifted with a prophetic mantle bequeathed to his calling by Elijah of old, a mantle old and time-honored with authority, has revealed our future with an accuracy which, we believe, is comparable only to the accuracy of the revelations of his predecessors of old, and now what remains for me to say I wish I knew. Yet I would that my words might do justice to this occasion and to the feelings fos- tered within me. This hour, with its many mingled feelings of sorrow and joy, its memories of the past, its hopes and anticipations of the future, doubtless impresses each of us in a manner which none can describe. We should consider well its importance and realize its true meaning. 'l'o-day we meet for the last time as a class to engage in exercises more important, more joyful and yct more sad than those of any meeting previ- ously held. Doubtless, each of you in your own minds have reviewed your past and the circumstances which now cause you to be so much interested in the exercises of the hour, and more particularly in those yet to . come. It seems to us that it is wise and good that all men should labor, that all should develop their talents to the highest degree possible 3 that as early 'in life as is commensurate with good judgment and mature thought every young man should decide upon his life's work, and that after careful decision he should enter upon and pursue that work with all the energy and application at his command. He should woo' it early and late. With these thoughts before me I am convinced William R. Locket: that the motives which actuated each of us in the choice of a profession were those of,an honest ambition, an earnest desire, born of true manhood, to be useful members of society, to claim as ours the noblest calling known to man, to study Nature and learn her secrets, to lessen human suffering and to make life as happy and its last hour as peaceful and calm as by a thorough knowledge of the healing art and its correct application it is possible to do. And we trust the future will reveal the fact that we made no mistake in selecting that noble calling which Knows no meaner strife Than art's long battle with the foes of life. 73 'l'he choice of an institution at whose shrine we wishedito worship, and which, in the course of time and by reason of our industry and application, we hoped to'eall our Alma Il-Zzffr, and thus be numbered among her sons, was well and easily made. The medical schools of our country, like our institutions of learning for other branches of science and art, equal those of any nation in the world, but towering above them all, like the Olympus of the gods, with a past but a great march of progress, with a future promising still greater success, with facilities for instruction and demonstration increasing year by year, and with a faculty whose voice and teaching are heard around the world, stands the institution of our choice, the pride of all her sons, the brightest star in all the constellation, the old and yet the new, our own jefferson. Her history has been one of great progress, of unequaled success. For seventy-live years she has represented the highest standard of medical education in the United States, for three-quarters of a century she has been the great exponent of medical truth, and her history is in large part the history ofthe great men of the medical profession of this coun- try. Her founders were pioneers in medicine, men of learning and ability, men of ingenuity and resources, men of thought and action, and to-day the institution which they founded is a great monument to their honored memory. It is not my purpose to attempt a review of the history of Medicine, for such would plainly be beyond my ability and the expectations of the hour, but what can we say of its origin and what are a few points in its development l Since the day our first parents sinned and were driven from their perfect and happy home, humanity must hare been heir to many ills. The voice of suffering early reached the throne of Heaven, the gates of mercy swung ajar and a God of Love inspired man to seek the means of his own relief. Was not this the origin of Medicine and the beginning of its growth? Probably the first individual, of whom we have record, to accumulate medical knowledge was Chiron, the noble Centaur. Apollo, the god of Light, Prophecy, Music, Poetry, the Arts and Sciences, was the noblest conception of all mythology. To him and his wife, the beautiful nymph Coronis, was born a son, flflsculapius, who was afterwards worshipped as the tt God of Medicine. Aisculapius was educated by Chiron, who instructed him in all knowledge, but more especially taught him the properties of herbs. He discovered their hidden powers, with them cured the diseases which afflicted the human body, and became so proficient in his art that he could restore' the dead to life. The temples to this divinity were built in healthy places, on hills or near wells whose waters were thought to possess great healing powers. The sick and afflicted came and slept in these temples, and if their devotions were sincere and true flisculapius appeared to them in a dream and revealed the means and remedies to be employed for their cure. The statue of flisculapius, in the temple of Epidarus, was made of ivory and gold, and represented him as an old man with a full beard, leaning upon a staff, about which a serpent is twining. The serpent was the symbol of this divinity because these reptiles were often used by the ancients in curing disease, and because all the wisdom of the serpent was thought to be indispensable to the physician, The children of flisculapius inherited the talents of their father, and among them was Hygeia, who maintained the health of the people by a great blessing which was a direct gift of the gods. So medicine, like religion, had its night of gloom, its age of superstition and its mystical ceremonies, but truth and right always 74 prevail, and the dawn of light and reason, a desire for accurate knowledge and investigation as to the cruise and treatment of disease came in medicine, as it must come in all things. A calling so noble and sacred, so honorable and holy in its purpose, so divine in its origin, and so rich in its blessings to humanity, cannot always remain in the depths of ignorance and the trammels of superstition. The morning dawned, the mist cleared away and the young science, urged on by the needs of a suffering world, the reign of pestilence and the rule of death, gave promise of a great and useful future. Its history, through succeeding ages, is one of long and continued struggle. The history of all progress is a history of conflict, of life and death, of good and evil, of right and wrong, of freedom and slavery, Of civilization and barbarism, of the recognition and triumph of the rights of men and the increase and spread of human knowledge. Science and civic liberty fought side by side and reaped their rewards together. Great men were born and devoted their lives to the cause of medicine. They were the leaders of their day, the heroes of the past, and their names are carved in living letters upon the immortal tablets of medical fame. We delight to speak of them in words of 1.-raise and to render grateful tribute to their memory. But however interesting is the history of the past and the lives of our great men, we must turn to the future. We are soon to enter upon the practice of our chosen profession. No calling given to man is more honorable than is ours. Christ Himself was both preacher and physician. We find Him in the palace of the rich calling from death the ruler's daughter, and at the grave of the poor giving the sisters back their brother. All ages have woven a garland for the doctor's brow. The relief of suffering is our future high vocation. All that is good in this world is our ally, all that is evil our enemy. All that is honorable and pure in man should be our strength, our fortification. The hour of trial will surely come. May it only reveal in us the qualities of true men, the strength and courage to do the right and make our lives more like that of Him who went about doing good. The proud ship that ploughs the sea, when beaten by the fury of the winds and the waves, only then shows her power to withstand the storm and the ability of her crew to manage a vessel. And so may the temptations peculiar to our calling, only purify our nature and increase our power to overcome them. There is no limit to our opportunities for study and investigation. Search where he will there is no knowledge that is not useful to the physician, The past fifty years have been- years of great revelations in medicine and surgery, but yet the field is wide and inviting, the labor to be done is great, but not without its reward. Great honor and power may not be ours, but what is the boast of heraldry, the pomp of power compared to the glorious satisfaction, the sacred privilege of saving human life? What more noble vocation, what more holy ambition than that of relieving the suffering of your fellow- men l Ours is The holiest task by heaven decreed, Go forth with patience, trust and hopeg Beside the unveiled mysteries An errand all divine. The sufferings of a sin-sick earth Of life and death go stand, To us 'tis given to render it, Shall give thee ample scope. With guarded lips and reverent eyes The paths of pain are thine. And pure of heart and hand. 75 Let us be earnest workers in the vineyard in which we have chosen to do our life's work, putting forth our best and noblest efforts, garnishing only the sheaves of truth, and ever remembering the duty which we owe to ourselves, to our country, to our profession, to humanity and to the Great Physician. Fellow Class-mates ! I had almost decided not to speak of the parting that must soon take place. Realizing its meaning, it is hard for me to say the last words, the only sad part of the duty which you have imposed upon me, and which has been so unworthily performed. For four years we have laboredltogether. Our hopes and ambitions have been the same. The difficulties, the sorrows and joys of one have been shared by us all. We have learned to love the same institution, to honor and respect the same faculty. We shall form no stronger, no clearer ties in life than those which now bind us, ties that can never be broken, portraits on n1emory's page that can never fade. Among us friendship, like the ivy, has grown Steadily, slowly, reaching wide and high, 1 Till it embraces all in its strong grasp, And holds with true, unfading, living clasp. As we go out from these Rtmiliar walls let it be with a determination that our future lives shall rellect honor upon the institution which has given us birth, honor upon the great men whose instruction we have received, and honor upon the profession which we are about to enter. Let us ever keep before us the noble aspirations of one who was both poet and physician : Build thee more stately mansions, O my soul, As the swift seasons roll ! Leave thy low-vaulted past! Let each new temple, nobler than the last, Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast, Till thou at length art free, Leaving thine outgrown shell by life's unresting sea ! 76 AItRAIIAItIsDN,PIIII.II' . . . .

A Brief History of the Alumni Association of Jefferson Medical College from its Foundation By ORVILLE HORWITZ, B.S., M.D. Clinical Professor of Genito-Urinary Diseases ----l-M T was not until Jefferson Medical College had been in successful operation fifty-five years that any attempt was made to establish an Alumni Association, and then, strange as it may appear, many of the gentlemen ' ' who comprised the governing body of the institution were emphatically opposed to bringing into existence an organization of the kind. The fact is within the memory of many of the living alumni that the majority of the Board of Trustees of the College not only took little interest in calling into being an association of the kind, but seemed to be nnalterably opposed to its creation. The Dean at that time refused to allow any notice of the existence of the Association to be promulgated with the annual announcement of the College, and it was not until it had been existence for hve years that the Executive Committee was enabled to report that in future a circular, setting forth the objects of the Associa- tion, will be printed and distributed with the annual College announcement. It was many years later before the Alumni notice was printed as a regular part of the College announcement. ln the year 1870, the elder Gross, recognizing how much influence and power might accrue to the 0 .H H . Pg MD school by the proper organization of an association composed of the graduates of the institution, already rv: e nrwttz t.. ., . . , , , , , , , , . ' amounting to several thousand individuals, invited some of the active and progressive men connected with the school, together with some of the prominent graduates, to meet at his house for the purpose of discussing the subject. As a result a circu- lar was issued and distributed among the graduates of the school, requesting them to attend a meeting in the lower lecture-room of the College building, on the evening of March I2, 1870, at eight o'clock, for the purpose of 'f organizing an Alumni Association. The meeting was 'f largely attended and with great enthusiasm, Dr. Nathan L. Hatfield, one of the graduates of the first class who left the halls of jefferson in 1826, was elected Chairman g Dr. j. liwing Mears was appointed Secretary. After much debate, Profes- sor Gross offered a resolution : H That a committee of five members be appointed to submit, at an adjourned meeting, a plan for organiza- tion, together with a constitution. This was unanimously carried. Professors Gross, Rand, Wallace, and llr. I-Iewson and Dr. Mears were appointed, with instructions to make a report on Saturday, March 19, 1870, in the same hall, at I2 o'clock noon. At the adjourned meeting, the plan of organization, together with a constitution and by-laws, were submitted and adopted. Prof. S. D. Gross was elected President, a position which he occupied for many years, resigning only after the success of the Association was assured. He vacated the 79 position because he H deemed it only right that some other alumnus should have an opportunity to act in that capacity. Two years later the Association insisted on Professor Gross again accepting the presidency. He occupied the position until the time of his decease. It is interesting to note that the officers who were elected at the lirst meeting to launch and guide the young Association were all men of prominence and distinction. Among them we find many who had not only at that time achieved an international reputation, but were regarded as master minds in the realms of medicine and surgery. They were those whom the sons of Jefferson will ever regard with love and veneration, being among the many remarkably great medical men who have attained distinction, after receiving their medical degree from the Jefferson College. Among the names of the officers who served during the first year of the Association we find thereof S. D. Gross, I. M. DaCosta, Ellerslie Wal'ace, Joseph Paucoast, S. W. Gross, William Goodell, Elwood Wilson, J. A. Meigs, R. J. Levis, B. H. Rand, W. H. Pancoast, S. Weir Mitchell, W. W. Keen, John lfl, llrinton, Nathan Hatfield, F. F. Maury, R. M. Girvin. In the preamble of the constitution, adopted at this meeting, the objects of the Association are laid down, in addition to promoting ff the prosperity of the jefferson Medical College, to be that of awarding of prizes, the publishing of meritorious theses, the endowment H of scholarships for the free medical education for the sons of the alumni whose means are limited, the collection of anatomical and pathological specimens for the College Museum, the cultivation of good feeling among the alumni 5 and above all, the advancement of the interests of medical education and the diffusion of sound medical knowledge. On studying the early records of the Association, the reader is impressed with the interest and activity displayed by the Alumni with regard to everything pertaining to the welfare and prosperity of the College and Hospital. At the second annual meeting, in March, 1871, the dues were lixed at one dollar per year, which were to he paid for the period of live consecutive years, at the end of which time the alumnus became a life member of the Association 5 or the option was given him of paying five dollars when elected to membership, no further cities being demanded. It was also decided that the Association should issue to its members diplomas, which should bear the corporate seal of the College. A prize was established, to be awarded to the most distinguished in scholarship attained during the two years' course of instruction. The Museum received its Grst gift, consisting of a valuable collection of silver ore, from Dr. Betz, of ldaho. It is interesting to note that at this meeting the Faculty made the official announcement that the Board of Trustees was looking for a new site upon which to erect a college and hospital building. The statement was received with great rejoicing. A resolution was passed requesting the Trustees, for reasons set forth at length, not to remove the College building from its present location, and to place the Hospital on Sansom Street in close proximity to the College. This resolution probably had great weight with the Trustees in deciding the location of the establishment. The Alumni expressed the desire to aid the Trustees and Faculty in every way possible toward raising the necessary amount of money to complete the contemplated improvements. A resolution was passed congratulating the Board of Trustees and the Faculty on the prosperity of the school, the past year having been one of the most successful since the foundation of the College. In the evening the So President, Prof. S. D. Gross, delivered the first annual address before a large audience, every seat being occupied, many having to stand in the aisles. At the conclusion of the address a reception was tendered the Association at the home of Dr. Gross, which was a great success, many distinguished men being present, as the records very naively go on to state, resulting in a large number of the graduates of the school becoming members of the Association. At the reception it was decided that in future an annual Alumni banquet would be held at the close of each College year. The first dinner was given at a little restaurant known as Augustine's, situated at Eleventh and Walnut Streets. It was well attended and proved to be a most enjoyable occasion. The guests at the banquets have gradually increased in numbers until their popularity has become so great, that at the present time a large hall is required to seat the numbers in attendance. This entertainment is regarded as one of the great events of the College year. They, doubtless, have been conducive to promoting a feeling of good-fellowship among the Alumni 5 keeping the older members in touch with the school, and serving to bring the younger members in contact with the older graduates. Acting on the desire expressed by the Alumni to aid the Trustees in raising the necessary funds to carry out the proposed alterations and improvements, a special meeting was called on March 17, 1872. judge Campbell, a prominent member of the Board of Trus- tees, by the invitation of the Association, presided over the meeting. This is the first record of any of the governing Board of the College taking any interest in the work of the Association. A very different condition to that which pertains at the present day, the Trustees now doing all that lies in their power to aid the Alumni Association in its efforts to benefit and supportvthe school. At this meeting one of the members, Dr. A. C. Bournonwille, expressed his willingness to donate a large sum, contingent upon the raising of 5z5o,ooo by private subscription bythe roth of June, 1874. His example was followed by many other contributors, and in ten minutes 510,000 was subscribed. At a special meeting two months later Dr. john H. Brinton, Chairman of the Committee on Col- lections, announced that g350,000 had been subscribed. A Legislative Committee was appointed, Dr. l . lf. Maury acting as Chairman, to endeavor to raise ,sroo,ooo from the State, a duty which was faithfully performed. At the annual meeting in March, 1877, we find that the Alumni had raised during the year for the Hospital Fund 58000. The anuouncementwas made that the new Hospital was completed and open for inspection. Through the efforts of Dr. llrinton, a bust of Dr. Geo. McClellan, the founder of the College, was presented to the Trustees to be placed in the new clinic amphitheatre of the Hospi- tal, where it has remained up to the present time, seeming to look down from its lofty pedestal with pride and satisfaction on the success and greatness of the institution that he had so materially aided in establishing. While this meeting was largely one of joy and congratulatory speeches on the successful completion of the new College Hospital, a sadness hung like .a pall over the scene of festivity. Dr. Nathan R. Smith, the emperor of surgery, one of America's most skillful and greatest surgeons, for years the leading medical mind in America, and the last living representative of jefferson's original faculty, had passed away, leaving a void not to be hllcd. . 81 Eighteen hundred and seventy-nine was a disastrous year for the Association. Three times was it necessary to call special meetings to mourn the loss of some one of Jefferson's most prominent and revered Alumni, men whose names are synonymous with skill and ability in the world of medicine and surgery. They were: Prof. J. H. Biddle, Prof. j'. Aitken Meigs and Dr. F. Frank Maury, the latter being the first to hold the position of instructor in Genito-Urinary Surgery and Venereal Diseases. His death cut short a brilliant career. He was a most skillful surgeon, had achieved great popularity, and was endowed with rare diplomatic ability. It was largely due to this trait in his character that the College succeeded in procuring from the Legislature its first appropriation to assist in erecting the new Hospital. In 1880 Dr. R. J. Levis, on behalf of the surgical staff of the Hospital, presented to the Board of Trustees a bust of J. Marion Sims, one of Jefferson's most distinguished alumni, a man ofworld-wide reputation, and the greatest gynecologistof his day. At this meeting Professor Rand called attention to the fact that unfortunately some ot' the new members of the Association had become irregular in their methods of practicing medicine, and offered a resolution, which was carried, requesting that a committee of uve be appointed to investigate charges, and report to the Association at its next meeting. The result of the investigation and report of the committee, was that several individuals were found to have deviated from the code of medical ethics governing the profession and were summarily dropped from the rolls of the Association. At the College commencement Ur. Addinell Hewson presented to the Board of Trustees on behalf of the Alumni Association a portrait of Prof. S, D. Gross, to be hung in the clinical amphitheatre of the Hospital, where it has ever since adorned the walls of the institute. In the reorganization of the College, which began about this time, the Association took great interest, and is closely connected with the great advancement and improvements in the method of teaching. The minutes of the society give evidence of the lengthy debates that were carried on, accompanied by resolutions which were sent to the Trustees and Faculty urging that the course of study be lengthened to three years. When this innovation had been fairly instituted the Alumni began making efforts to have a compulsory four years' course of instruction established, at the same time lengthening the term of the College year, suggesting the teaching of special branches, and the creating of a clinical faculty, to be composed of men well qualified to impart instruction in the various specialties. The exertions of the Association were crowned with success, and the period of instruction lengthened to four yearsg the College year made to consist of nine months, with increased facilities for clinical teaching, the success of which has done so much to bring the school nearer to a state of efficiency. It is owing to Jefferson's superior clinical facilities and methods of teaching that her students compare so favorably with those who graduate at sister institutions. For these reasons they have made such excellent reputations as resident physicians at the various public institutions and so soon obtain a remunerative practice after graduation. When in 1897 it became necessary to build and equip a modern pathological laboratory the Association raised ,r5ro,ooo for its equipment, an establishment which compares favorably with that of any other of its kind in the country. S2 About this time the Alumni Association joined with the American Surgical Association in raising the requisite sum to purchase a statue in memory of the late Prof. S. ll. Gross, to be placed on the grounds of the Smithsonian Institution in the City of Washington. Dr. Gross is one of the few medical men of America who have been so honored. The success of this achievement was largely due to the activity, energy and ability of Prof. W. W. Keen. On many occasions the Association has been called upon to mourn the loss of members who, having completed their life's work, have passed from our midst, leaving an indelible name inscribed on the rolls of our College, men who have shed honor, reputation and fame on their .flfunz flhlcr, spreading her reputation throughout Christendom by advancing medical education, and by their teachings and writings diffusing sound medical knowledge. Among these names we find those of Nathan R. Smith, S. D. Gross, Marion Sims, S. W. Gross, joseph Pancoast, Wm. Goodell, Franklin Bache, J. Aitken Meigs, J. H. Biddle, W. H. Pancoast, Ellerslie Wallace, Elwood Wilson, F. F. Maury and Theophilus Parvin. Space will not permit more than to touch lightly on the principal events and achievements of the Association. Enough has been said to show that the inauguration of the graduates of the College into an active, disciplined association, working to maintain the pros- perity of their Alma 1M1fw',- carrying out the designs of the founders of the Association as in their preamble promulgated to the constitution, have been more than realized. It has aided materially in increasing the prosperity of Jefferson , it has offered annually an alumni prize, it has assisted materially in improving the anatomical and pathological museums, by constant addition of valuable specimens. It has been very successful in assisting to raise the necessary amount of money to build the Hospital, enlarge the College building, equip the present pathological laboratory, and in raising money for completing the new buildings now under construction. Through the influence of individual members many free beds have been endowed, which have been the means of restoring to health and giving comfort and happiness to many hundreds of suffering humanity. Many who will read this brief history will doubtless be surprised to learn what an aid, comfort and source of strength the Alumni Association has been to its ffflllll fMz!r'r. The members point with pride to the work that has been accomplished. None can fail to feel that she has borne with credit the responsibility which rested on her shoulders, whilst she has nobly performed the duties that she so cheerfully assumed at the time of the organization of the society, well nigh thirty years ago. This proud record of the society should cause every student to aspire, on leaving the halls of H Old jeff. to have his name enrolled among the list of the loyal sons of the College, thus manifesting his desire to uphold and maintain the continued success and prosperity o his Alma jlhfcr. The old adage united we stand, divided we fall applies with equal force to the Alumni Association as to all other institutions. In union there is strength, therefore, let every jefferson graduate join the Alumni Association so that all may work together, man to man, shoulder to shoulder, for the continued advancement and improvement of the time-honored jefferson, that she may continue to be in the future what she has in the past, one of the greatest seats of medical learning in the United States. Ss JEFFERSON COLLEGE STUDENTS' READING-ROOM N organization has been formed by women in Philadelphia, for the students attending Jefferson Medical College, to look after their well-being and comfort, and to give color and life to their college days. Most of them are strangers, away from home and its - influences. They have been furnished with rooms for rest and recreation, a large medical library of standard works for study, and wholesome surroundings, where in leisure or tired moments they can enjoy the fellowship ot' their college-mates. A place is provided where the meetings of the various medical societies of the College are held. No charge is made for any of the privileges of the rooms, save a trifling sum for the use of the pool table, to defray the expenses for the care of the room and table. The Managers of the organization give receptions three or four times each session, so that the students may come into social contact with the Trustees, the Faculty, and the junior teachers, and are made to feel that they are bound by college ties, that they have friends who are interested in their welfare and studies, and in their uplifting for all that is good. ' llesides these helps, the Managers have established a Bureau of information. They have a paid agent who examines and reports upon the character, surroundings and prices charged by boarding-houses for students, and those places only are recommended after a thorough investigation has been made. In the new College building, now near completion, ample provision has been made for enlarged space and appliances for the read- ing, library and recreation rooms.

N October, 1891, a number of Senior and junior year students of the jefferson Medical College held a' meeting to discuss the advisa- bility of organizing a society for the purpose of good-fellowship, the discussion of medical subjects, and the stimulation of its mem- bers to individual research. A committee was appointed to ascertain if Professor W. W. Keen would allow the Society to bear his name. His consent was obtained, and on October 29, 1891, by permission of the Dean, a second meeting was held in the Pharmaceutical Laboratory, and an organization effected under the name of The W. W. Keen Medical Society. Professor Keen was elected Honorary President, Roland Jessup, President, H. W. Hassell, Vice-President, P. L. jermane, Secretary, J. L. llorsch, Treasurer. Forty men were enrolled as charter members, the membership being limited to forty, selected from the two upper classes. In February, 1895, the name of the Society was changed to The W. W. Keen Surgical Society. Each month of the College year two meetings were held, at which theses were read by different members. From time to time addresses were delivered by Professor Keen and other members of the Faculty. The succeeding Presidents of the Society have been: H. W. Hassell '93, W. W. llrand, '94, 1. Albert Moore, '95, J. H. D Buchanan, '96, V. G. Heiser, '97 , j. W. Longfellow '98, W. R. Lockett, '99. Since 1895, ex-President P. Albert Moore has presented a gold medal each year to the member of the Society receiving the highest mark in surgery in his Senior year. One of the pleasant events of each year has been the annual banquet given in honor of Professor Keen, the last one having been held at the Hotel Lafayette on january 31, 1899. On February 22, 1896, upon the invitation of Professor William S. Halsted, of johns Hopkins University, the members visited Baltimore, making the trip in a special car provided for the purpose through the kindness of Professor Keen and one of the trustees of jefferson Medical College. Professor Halsted conducted them through the University and Hospital, held a special clinic for them, and then entertained them in a most royal manner at the Maryland Club. Owing to the change in the College curriculum from a three-year to a four-year course, the membership has been increased to nfty, and still there are no vacancies. Ss The work of the Society has always been of practical value to its members. Each member is required to read an original article on some surgical or medical subject. Two or more papers are presented at each regular meeting, each paper being discussed by two or more members appointed for that purpose, after which the discussion becomes general. In addition a number of excellent and instructive addresses have been given by members of the faculty. A Certificate of Membership, signed by Professor Keen and the officers of the Society, is presented to each member who is in good standing at the time of his graduation from the jefferson Medical College. Professor W. W. Keen has always taken a most active interest in the Society and its members, entertaining them on numerous occasions in a most delightful manner. As a surgeon with a world-wide reputation for skill and ability, as a teacher unsurpassed, and as a man of noble Christian character, he has left his impress on the life of every member, stimulating them to greater effort in the study of their chosen profession and inspiring them with the nobility of their calling.

Hare Medical Society of jefferson Medical College was organized October 16, ISQI, by a number of jefferson students who met at the office of Professor lflare. 'l'he objects of the Society were to promote social intercourse among its members, and to discuss papers on subjects relating to the study of medicine. Mr. A. H. Stewart was elected temporary Chairman of the students' meeting at Professor llare's office, and Mr. F. Dunning at the same time was elected Secretary. After fully discussing the advantages and disadvantages connected with the proper regulation of such an organization, a committee of live was appointed, which drew up a constitution and by-laws, and submitted their work to the Society, October 23, 1891. The following officers were elected for the year 1891-1892: President, A. H. Stewart, Vice-President, 'l'. W. jackson 3 Secretary, A. P. Weaver, Treasurer, G. H. Gustin. At this meeting Professor llare was elected an honorary member. C se The hrst annual banquet was lteld in the Penn Club Rooms, April 15, 1892. At this banquet thirty-five guests were present, includ- ing several of the College professors. This social event closed a year of marked progress in the history of the Society, the meetings having been highly entertaining and instructive to its members. The officers for the College year 1892-1893 were as follows: j. P. Hubbard, President, R. E. Miller, Vice-President, W. R. liennett, Secretary, l'l. -I. Pearson, Treasurer. The second animal banquet was also held at the Penn Club Rooms, February 23, 1893. Un February 24l.l1Oll that year Professor llare addressed the Society on H Therapeutic Hints, and at the close presented to the Society a beautifully engraved' cup. Among the ma11y excellent papers read during the year were f' The History of Medicine, by Dr. bl. C. DaCosta, Hypnotism,', by Dr. F. Dercum, The Methods and Principles of Bacteriology, by Professor W. M. L. Coplin, Trying for Hospital Positions, by Professor J. C. Wilson. The following-named otiicers were elected for the year 1893-1894: President, ll. Mangan, Vice-President, J. W. Moore 3 Secretary, D. P. l redericks , Treasurer, John Kalmer. This year was characterized by the skillful treatment of the various subjects discussed. The officers elected for the year 1894-1895 were as follows: President, DI. C. Simpson, Vice-President, W. H. Hobson, Secretary, I-I. ll. King, Treasurer, -I. H. Mills. The banquet for this year was held in the Penn Club Rooms. For the year 1895-1896, the otiicers elected were: President, j. H.

Winebrake, Secretary, C. E. Seeley, Treasurer, C. E. jackson, later, Mr. F. M. Cleveland was 'elected Secretary in the place of Mr. Seeley, who did not again return to College after the year 1896-1897. The insignia of the Society adopted this year consisted of a wreath and shield. In February the members of the Society attended the opera of The lliicle-Elect, which was rendered for the benefit of the College Reading-Rooms. The box occupied by the Hare Medical Society was beautifully decorated with the College colors and a large design of the Society emblem. 37 The regular annual banquet was held at the Bourse, February 17, 1898. The toasts responded to were, The Faculty, by Pro- fessor Hare, Field Recollections, by Professor Keen 3 ff Anything but Pathology, by Professor Coplin 3 H The Boys, by Professor H. A. Wilson.

The meetings of the Society are held in the Students' Reading-Rooms. The membership of the Society is limited to thirty three members, who are selected from the ripper three classes. Of these members eighteen are from the Senior Class, ten from the junior Class, and five from the Sophomore Class. ' THE E. P. DAVIS OBSTETRICAL SOCIETY OF JEFFERSON MEDICAL COLLEGE HE E. P. Davis Obstetrical Society, although one of the latest formed societies of jefferson, is the offspring of the 'l'heophili:s Parvi'n Society, which was organized five years ago. Its object, besides the promotion of good-fellowship and scholarly attain- ments, was the study of obstetrics and diseases of women and children. During the life of Professor Parvin the Society received his hearty support and aid in its work, and his teachings had an even greater influence on its members after coming in contact with him and learning to know him as a man and a scholar. After his death the Society carried on its work with the same zeal and interest, and received encouragement from many of our teachers and professors, notably Professor H. A. Wilson, who took a paternal care and exercised a decided spirit forits advancement. On the opening of the session of 1898-99 the remaining members of the Theophilus Parvin Society, seven in number, disorganized, and on November 9, 1898, formed the Society which now bears the name of Professor Edward P. Davis. Professor Davis very kindly accepted the head ofthe Society, and his reputation as a scholar and teacher and his personal qualities as a man have made the Society one of the most flourishing in the sisterhood of jefferson. The chair of Obstetrics having been divided into those of Gynecology and Pediatrics, the li. P. Davis Society has limited its work to the subject of obstetrics only. At meetings, which occur twice a month, papers SS l are read by different members and all connected with the Society are urged to take part in the discussion which follows, thereby giving each one the advantage ofllearning from the experience of his fellows, and at the same lime giving l1im confidence in himself as a public speaker. 'l'he interest which Professor Davis has taken. in the Society has urged its members to greater attainments, for by his presence at each meeting and his words of advice each member has received aid and knowledge which will be sure to help him in his future as a physician. 'l'he presence of our clinical instructors, Drs. Coles and Wells, has given us great pleasure, one or both being present at each meeting. The lil. P. Davis Society, besides being a society for the improvement of the student members by discussions pertaining to obstetrics, has a distinct social feature, which has given it a name among the sister societies of Jefferson. The Society's idea of sociability is in no way con- nected or associated with financial matters. The Society has numbered among its members many men whom it and jefferson have every reason to be proud of. Although still young in their professional careers, they have won renown for themselves and their Alma .flhlw-in the fields of Medicine, Surgery and Obstetrics, and the Society has every hope that its members will continue to hold high the noble standard which it has set for itself. 'I'he officers of the lidward P. Davis Society for the term of 1898-99 are: Sydney il. Smith, President, li. Harland Irvine, Vice-President, George C. Yeager, Secretary, and I. Walker Croft, Treasurer. During their term the Society has rapidly progressed, and the membership, being limited to twenty-Eve, the Society .readily filled its membership list, and has a number of names on its waiting list. It looks forward to a bright and happy future, and now takes its place among the leading societies in the brilliant constel- lation of good old jefferson. THE W. S. FORBES ANATOIVIICAL LEAGUE OF JEFFERSON MEDICAL COLLEGE HE W. S. Forbes Anatomical League was organized November, 1893. Prior to this time all societies connected with jefferson were for Senior students exclusively. At the beginning of the session of 1893-94 several members of the class in anatomy held a meeting and decided to lay the matter before Professor lforbes. He was greatly pleased and accepted an invitation to be present at their first meeting, which was at once held and a constitution drawn np. Its membership is limited to hfty, thirty being chosen from the second year and who retire from membership at the end of that year. ' Its meetings are devoted exclusively to the consideration of anatomical subjects. At each meeting three members are appointed to prepare papers for the next meeting, with two members to discuss each paper. The subjects of the papers are announced to the League at the time of appointment. lts meetings are held on the second and fourth Fridays of every month during the College year. 89 To stimulate the desire for anatomical knowledge on the part of the members, Professor Forbes at once offered a prize of S150 to the member passing the best competitive examination at the end of the second year. This being the largest prize offered in the College, it met the opposition of some members of the Faculty, who contended that it was too large. Professor Forbes replied that if any prize was worth trying for, one which would pay one year's tuition.certainly would be, and nothing could induce him to make the amount any less. As a result of the prize offered, nearly all members of the League make an extra effort in anatomy. The member standing next in the examination is awarded honorable mention. Both winner of the prize and the one receiving honorable mention are made honorary members. Up to the present time four competitive examinations have been held, as follows: 1895-FITZC won by George Frederick Curley, Upton, Mass., honorable mention, Frederick A. White, Paterson, N. J. 1896-Prize won by Linn limerson, Oxford, N. Y. 3 honorable mention, E. E. Brown, Philadelphia, Pa. 1897-Prize won by Elmer john Farnham, Augusta, Maine, honorable mention, john IC. L. Van Sciver, Camden, N. -I. 1898-l,l'lZ6 won by Madison J. Keeney, Rockville, Ind., honorable mention, Charles E. Price, Delano, Pa. The League tendered Professor Forbes a banquet in 1895, and another in 1896. But when the banquet committee of 1897 approached him on the subject, he expressed himself as being opposed to spending so much money for one evening's enjoyment when there were deserving students who would be very glad to strive for it if offered as a prize. Accordingly, he presented his views to the League at their next meeting. A prize of S75 was then offered. to the member of the graduating class having the highest general average during his entire course. The prize was won by Charles Stewart Barnes, Newark, Ohio. The presiding officers of the League have been as follows: Professor W. S. Forbes, Philadelphia, Pa., Honorary President, 1893-94, Frank C. Hammond, Philadelphia, Pa., 1894-95, H. L. Tackaberry, Houston, Texas, 1895-96, John Baptiste Conway, Philadelphia, Pa., 1896-97, Elmer John Farnham, Augusta, Maine, 1897-98, Madison j. Keeney, Rockville, Ind., 1898-99, Douglas Symmers, Columbia, S. C. The Honorary Membership Roll is as follows: Professor W. S. Forbes, Honorary President, Dr. A. A. Hewson, Dr. W. C. Buckley, D1'. John Lindsay Cdeceascdj, Dr.. H. Swayne, G. F. Curley, Frederick A. White, Linn Emerson, E. E. Brown-, Elmer john Farnham, john E. L. Van Sciver, Madison j. Keeney, Charles E. Price. 90
