Holland, Dean In the first quarter of this century certain physicians Camong whom may be mentioned Dr. W. P. C. Bartonj, ambitious to teach medicine. had made unsuccessful attempts to secure from the Legislature a charter for a second medical school in Philadelphia. It was such a reproach to any graduate of the existing school that he should endeavor to set up a rival to his flflllll Hlllfltl' that few had the audacity to try it. Social influence proved strong enough either to nip such enter- prises in the bud or to blight them before the Legislature. Seven years after Barton'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 by the State. On June zd, I824, in company with Drs. John Eherle, Joseph Klapp and Jacob Green, he sent a communication to the Trustees of Jefferson College, then situated at Canonsburg, VVashington County, Pa., pro- posing 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 facility of six chairs in the city of Philadelphia as a constituent part of Jefferson College, under the name of the ,leFfcrson Medical College. In the winter of 1825-26 an enlargement of their charter was obtained. which authorized them to appoint ten additional Trustees in the city of Philadelphia. Rev. Ashbel Green, D.D., 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 20 1826 an act of the Legislature enlarged the charter, giving the right to grant the medical degree. Two years after, the Philadelphia Board was authorized to have almost entire management of the affairs of the medical college, the parent Board retaining the right to reverse the proceedings when, in their judgment, the interest of the college required this action. This relationship survived until the winter of 1837-38, when it terminated hy 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 Eberle, M.D.,iTheory and Practice of Medicineg B. Rush Rhees, M.D., Materia Medica and In- stitutes, Jacob Green, Chemistry, Nathan R. Smith, M.D., Anatomyg 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 pur- pose, and announced a course of lectures for the winter of 1825-26. The first class numbered one hundred and seven, and the degree was con- ferred upon twenty in May by a writ of 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. In the summer of 1826 Dr. NV. P. C. Barton was appointed to a new chair of materia medica. Litigation and discord between two of the professors affected unfavorably the 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 the 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 IW flvlllmrc for one session, and in April, 1827, he 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 19th, 1828, all the chairs were vacated and on the 26th of the same month the faculty was reconstructed as fol- lows: Surgery, George McClellan, M.D.: Medicine, John Eberle, M.D.g Materia Medica, W. P. C. Barton, M.D., Institutes,'B. Rush Rhees, M.D.g Chemistry, Jacob Green, M.D. As the chairs of -midwifery and anatomy were vacant, Dr. Eberle took the extra work in midwifery, and anatomy was taught by Dr. George McClellan, assisted by the demonstrator, Dr. Samuel McClellan. 2I I In january, 1830, Dr. George McClellan was relieved of anatomical teaching by the 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 chair of ,materia medica, while undertaking to teach midwifery. and Dr. Daniel Drake, of Cincinnati, was appointed to the chair of practice of medicine. The session of 1830-31 opened with every profes- sorship occupied by a man of proved ability as a writer and teacher. At the end of the session a disaster was experienced in the resignation of two of the most eminent professors. 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 of midwifery, Dr. Granville Sharp Pattison of anatomy, vice Dr. Samuel McClellan resigned. At the end of the session Dr. Parsons resigned and Dr. Samuel McClellan was appointed professor of mid- wifery, 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 strengthened by the election of Dr. Robley Dunglison to the chair of institutes in June, 1836. In 1838 the larger classes called for .more eommodious quarters, and it was decided that the old building must be altered and enlarged. To do this it was desirable that the title to the property, hitherto vested in Rev. E. S. lily, should be transferred to the Board of Trustees. As these Trustees in Philadelphia were subordinate to the parent Board and could hold property in their name only, a necessity arose for a distinct charter, which would enable the Philadelphia Trustees to hold and modify' the medical college property as a separate institution. At the session of the Legislature held in the spring of 1838, a charter was obtained creating The Jefferson Medical College of Phila- delphia, an independent corporation with the same powers and re- strictions as the University of Pennsylvania, and the Trustees then holding ofiicc were reappointed with power to increase their number to fifteen, and to be self-elective. At the meeting which accepted the new charter the Board of Trustees closed the old connection xcry gracefully by passing unanimously the following resolution: lfl?S0f1'f l. 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 tl1e mutual benefit and convenience of both bodies, and desired it for no other reasong and that this Board will retain a grateful sense of the 1 22 kind and fostering care ever exhibited towards the-m by the parent institution, and. will in their new capacity be always ready to acknowl- edge their past obligations and to exchange, in every way in their power, kind offices with jetterson 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 be- clouded by the personal difficulties of the faculty. These dissensions became so urgent that on the Ioth of June, 1839. the Trustees dissolved the faculty, and organized another out of the more congenial members of the previous body, with some new appoint- ments. 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 opera- tions 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 snlbmit to authority or to control the impulses of his ardent te-mperanient. In 1841 new dilliculties 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., Institutesg J. K. Mitchell, M.D., Practice of Medicineg joseph Pancoast, M.D., Anatomyg R. M. Huston, M.D.. Materia Medica: T. D. Miitter. M.D.. Surgery, Charles D. Meigs, M.D.. Obstetricsg Franklin Bache, M.D., Chemistry, succeeding to the chair on the death of Dr. Jacobi Green. At last was brought together a group of teachers of approved merit who would work in harmony. Under their I'Ci!lflll0 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 vacancies had been filled for short periods by men of unusual ability. Their stay was so short as to pretigure 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. Having lived through bitter opposition. 23 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. VVith the faculty of 1841 came the reign of peace. order and good fortune. There were no changes in tl1e faculty for fifteen years. The confidence 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 tl1e features contributing to its usefulness and popularity must he ranked its clinic. The virtual founder of the Col- lege, 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 ohice he easily supplied the infirmary at the College building, and on May 9th, 1825, before the first session, he performed the first operation in its amphitheatre. NVhen the new building was erected in 1828 a small room in front, with an entrance under the staircase, was used by hin1 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 cases were treated, and capital operations of the rarest kind were performed before the class by such adroit operators as Pancoast and Miitter. The accomimodations at the College l1ad been so poor that as late as 1841 even those who had undergone 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 Phila- delphia by Dr. Miitter at the clinic, December 23Ci. 1846. About 1849 the surgical clinic used two floors of a building adjoining the College on the north. Later this was remodeled to accommodate hfteen 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 tl1en was succeeded by Hon. Edward King, LL.D., who officiated until 1873. 1 The failing health of Prof. Miitter in 1856 caused him to resign. He was elected IH'0fi'8S0 f'l'll'I'ifN-'- He had been assistant to Du Puytren in the Paris hospitals, and while abroad had worked for months under 24 other surgeons of equal celebrity. He has the credit of having been the first to introduce into this country the Edinburgh qnizzing 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 his classes. He was equally successful as a clinical lecturer and operator. The surgical clinic, by the associated zeal and efiiciency of Miitter and Pancoast, became so famous that the amphi- theatre 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. His death ensued within a year, at the early age of forty-eight. The extensive Mutter Museum and its liberal endowment under the administration of the College of Physicians, serve to keep his na-me in the grateful minds of the new generations. His place was taken by S. D. Gross, M.D., recently professor in the University of Louisville, a graduate of the Jefferson Medical Col- lege off the class of 1828, who had :made a great reputation as a surgeon, writer and lecturer. The following year Dr. Huston resigned, was made IH'0fl'SNfH' 1'Illl'I'NlI8 and was succeeded by T. D. 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 persistent advocacy of the view then en- tirely 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 professorship of Practice of Medicine was conferred on Samuel H. Dickson. M.D., recently of the University of South Caro-lina. When the Civil War broke out, as two- iifths 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 any medical college in this eountryj, to only 275. The last course of lectures delivered by Dr. C. D. Meigs was in the session of 1861-62. As 1H'UfffNNOI' f'HIf'l'i1NS 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 25 associates who had given so much lustre to the history of the College. Famous as a scholar, eloquent lecturer and writer on obstetrical sub- jects, he was at home in the arts of painting and modeling, which he used with great dexterity to illustrate his lectures. At his resignation the faculty made a minute which said in part that they 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 great-grandson of Benjamin Franklin, best known as one of the authors of VVood and Bache's United States Dispensatoryf' His eulogist, Dr. George B. Wood, considered him an extraordinary man, who worked diligently and thus did much for tl1e public good- -presenting to the young n1en 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 011 chemistry in different medical institutions. After eight years of his connection with the College Dr. Thomas D. Mitchell died in 1865. In his endeavors for the well-being 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. In the session of 1866-67 the clinical opportunities were much en- larged by the establishment of a daily clinic, the medical cases being allotted to the skillful consideration' of Dr. J. M. DaiCosta as lecturer on clinical medicine. In tl1e 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. Ill the following year this list was augmented by the names of Drs. J, H. Brinton and W. VV. Keen. ' After filling for twenty-tive years the chair of institutes of medicine and for fourteen the ollice of Dean, in 1868 Dr. Robley Dunglison was compelled to resign by the ill-health wl1icl1 in the next year caused his death. The Trustees accepted his resignation with expressions of re- gret and elected him 0lllf.'l'il'lls prufe.wn'. In him was a rare combina- tio11 of varied culture and vast erudition, made useful by an industry which produced the best medical dictionary of its day, copious con- tributions to journalism and text-books on physiology, hygiene, materia medica and the 'practice of medicine. The honors awarded him at home and abroad gave him a prestige that lent impressiveness to the 26 easy flow and grace of his discourses. In his thirty years of medical teaching this Father of American Physiologyn signed his name to at least five thousand medical diplomas. 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, I. 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 refinement had made him agreeable to all, while his students reaped the advantage of his wisdom and ripe experience. 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 Qth. an act was passed for the endowment of a new College Hospital, by which the stun of one hundred thousand dollars was appropriated to the Trustees of the Jeiterson Medical College. To the same purpose large private subscriptions were made bythe 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 improvethe College buildings, to add a new front and to equip new laboratories. The hos- pital was formally opened September I7tll, 1877, at which time it had cost 'for building and furnishing: For two lots of ground .......... ............... S 53,000 oo For building, heating, plnimlbing, architect, etc... I24.QIQ 83 For outfit, bedding, furniture, etc ........ ....... 8 ,ooo 00 3185.919 83 It was found that mlore money was needed from the State, and after petition, an act appropriating an additional one hundred thousand dol- lars was passed and approved by the Governor, June 17th. 1878. This sum was paid in instalments of ten thousand dollars'each. To en- courage contributions to the endowment fund, the Trustees offered to establish and support one free bed on the donation of five thousand dol- lars, or the annual payment of three hundred dollars. By this authority a perpetual charity became the memorial of various donors, 27 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 crea- tion ofa pathological museum in connection with the hospital. A col- lection of wet preparations, casts and wax models was soon made and arranged under the direction of the curator, Dr. Morris Longstreth. After a service of more than a third of a century, full of years and honors, in 1874. Dr. Joseph Pancoast resigned the chair of anatomy and was made 1n'of1'.-4.wn' 1-nwrilllx. The vacant appointment was given to his son, Dr. NVilliam 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. Hisi 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 Cwho was a iman 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 reputa- tion 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 out-door department. The amphitheatre provided for operations and lectures seated more than 600 spectators. The most approved appli- anees for heating and ventilation were provided. and in fact the con- struction represented the best knowledge of the time. The clinical lectures were delivered daily. in the fall and winter by the faculty, in the sunnner by the hospital staff, which was constituted as follows: Surgeons JOHN H. BRINTON, M.D., S. W. Gnoss, M.D., F. F. ATAURY, M.D., R. J. Levis, M.D. Ophthalmic Surgeon WILLIAM THOMSON, M.D. 28 is Physicians J. Sous-Con12N, M.D., Joniv B. Ronislcrs, M.D., James C. W1i.soN, M.D., Oinvizu P. Rnx, M.D. Aural Surgeons L. '1'UnN1sU1.L, M.D. Gynecologists F. H. Gxs'rc11m.i., M.D., J. Exv1NG Means, M.D. Pathologist Mounts Louosriuarii, M.D. As the successor of the suave and sagacious Biddle, whose lectures were refined to the last degree, but whose personality was even Finer than his work and whoi died in 1878. begins the connection of Roberts Bartholow, M.D., Professor of Materia Medica and General Thera- peutics. He was widely known as a 'medical author and in the Ohio Medical College had imade his mark as a forcible and popular teacher, In the session of 1879-So, Dr. J. Aitken Meigs being in his last illness, Dr. H. C. Chapman was called upon as clemonstrator 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 by the 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 Longstrcth 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 inedica and pharmacy in the medical hall was equipped in the following year. Besides the necessary appliances for a practical course in pharmacy. a roo-m was fitted up with instru- ments for special researches in the physiological action of remedies. 29 These laboratories were put in charge of demonstrators under the supervision of the professors of each branch. The lectureship on ophthalmolo-gy, held by Dr. William Thomson, was made a professor- ship without scat in the faculty. At this time the statutes of Pennsylvania, like those of most Ameri- can 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 18:66, 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 professional practice. It was some compensation for this disagreezrble experience that his prosecution brought hin1 the sympathy of his professional brethren and excited an agitation in the ranks of the medical profes- sion, which was coimfmunicated 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 providing for the compulsory distribution to the medical colleges of all unclaimed dead bodies in the interest of the science which devotes itself to pro- longing human life. 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 tl1e honor of being named l'I'Uf1'N-WH' f'IlIf'I'ffN-'4- After two years of retirement he died, in his seventy-ninth year. Samuel D. Gross, M.D.. LL.D. Edin., D.C.L. 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 Jefferson Medical College. After tive years of practice he became Demonstrator of Anatovmy in the Medical College of Ghio, 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 30 Louisville, I-Ie 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 center west of the Alleghenies. In 1856, he succeeded Miitter in the faculty of his -AUINM Mfllflf, dedicating to her the remainder of his life. In the years of his connection with Jefferson Medical College he delivered twenty-six animal courses of lectures, published his great System of Surgery, edited for some years the 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 w-ere '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. Brinton, 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. Wfallace compelled him in 1883 to resign the chair of obstetrics, 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., LL.D., 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 iby striking experiments. the exposition of his dilii- cult science lacked nothing for clearness of speech, while his delivery was always agreeable. For the session of 1884-85 the lectures were de- livered 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. . In the ensuing session a maternity department was organized in the hospital, and practical instruction was given to members of the graduating class in the use of the laryngoscope and the ophthahnoscope. By the resignation of Dr. NV. H. Pancoast in 1886 a vacancy was made in the chair of anatomy, which was filled by the promotion of 3I 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 lectureships, which were first administered as follows: Orthopedic Surgery, O. H. Allis, M.D.g Laryngology, C. E. Sajous, M.D.: Children's Diseases. O. P. Rex, M.D.g Dermatology, A. Van Harlingen, M.D.g Renal Disease, 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. S. W. Gross occurred in the spring of that year. Proifoundly versed in surgical pathology, he was a war-in 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. Int his lectures he was clear and emphatic, his discourse swee-ping on in a river of words all bearing directly toward 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 1890-91 a chair known as the Honorary Pro- fessorship of Laryngology was created for Dr. J. Solis-Cohen, whose standing in this department was of the highest. The rules now required tl1at all -matriculates who could not show a certificate from an academy or college of a suitable preliminary education should pass an entrance examination in English and in Elementary Physics. A graded cur- riculum extending over three years was also required. At the close ofthe 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 1H If1'N-WH' f'HH'l'iflIN- I-lis successor, I. C. XVilson. M.D., had made his mark in medical letters and medical 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. In place of Dr. Bartholow, made 1'l'0ff'N-WI' f'lllf'I'ifIf-Y, who was a forcible teacher, with a rare gift of clear and succinct statement, the Trustees elected Hobart A. 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 fro111 the lectureship to the professorship of General Pathology and Pathological Anatomy. In 1882 Hon. Joseph Allison, Ll..D., was elected President, and 32 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 five years form a period of active evolution, with 'many additions to the teaching corps. The Faculty chair o:f ophthalmology, the first incumlbent of which was Dr. William Thom- son, after his resignation was occupied by George E. de Schweinitz, M.D., late professor in the Polyclinic College, while W. M. L. Coplin, M.D., recently professor in Vanderbilt University, became the suc- cessor of Dr. Longstreth in the chair of pathology and bacteriology. The three years' course was now in operation and successful to a sur- prising 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 clinical professors was instituted and the ap- pointees 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 con- venient size. The list of newly appointed clinical professors was as follows: ' . Henry W. Stelwagon, M.D., Dermatology, H. Augustus VVilson, M.D., Orthopedic Surgery: Edwin E. Graham. M.D., Diseases of Childreng F. X. Dercum, M.D., Diseases of the Nervous Systemg Orville Horwitz, M.D., Genito-Urinary Diseases: Edward P, Davis, M.D., Obstetricsg S. MacCuen Smith, M.D., Otologyg W. Joseph Hearn, M.D., Surgery, Howard F. Hansell, M.D., Ophthalmologyg W-in. S. Jones, M.D., Laryngologyg D. Braden Kyle, M.D., Laryngologiyg J. Chalmers Da Costa, M.D., Surgery, J. M. Barton, 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 neeil for more time. A compulsory four-years' course was announced to go into effect June 1st, 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 wisdomi 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 33 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. In 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 witl1 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 was 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 en- countered the objection that as the receipts in excess of expenditures were divided among the Faculty, they were practically asking for money to be given to the Faculty, and not to the cause of medical education or suffering humanity. In order to end this system, complete reorganization was effected by the Trustees, which was cheerfully ac- cepted by the Faculty. By their act of February Ist, 1895, entire con- trol of the College and hospital was assumed by the Trustees, the Faculty receiving salaries in lieu 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 otyrice for two years, he had retired, and at the time of the reorganization Hon. Joseph B. 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. In carrying out his College and hospital enterprises he had need for all his native energy and tenacity of purpose. These qualities were supplemented by knowledge of affairs and tact gained by his experience in the world of affairs and diplomacy. 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 cure of disease. Primarily intended as a hospital for teaching medical students, this feature had been found to redound to the advantage of the patients. It had at command without cost the pro- fessional services of leading practitioners of medicine, surgery and the specialties chosen for eminent ability. The surgical and other treat- 34 ment had been done openly under the eye of curious critics, quick to detect inefiiciency and to condemn neglect. A bright light of pub- licity beat upon the clinician which inspired him to do his best for the case in hand. The percentage of baffling and difficult cases l1ad 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 Roentgen Ray apparatus was put in, and proved its value at once by wonderful results. The building was commonly overcrowded, especially for the hours be- tween 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. In the Report for 1896 the Director summarizes the ward work as amounting to 1.561 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 400 patients, the daily average'for the year being over 300. It has been stated in the official reports that in the year 1895 the surgical department of the hospital used 131 miles of muslin and 1,009 miles of gauze bandages. In nineteen years since its foundation there were H010 patients treated in the out-patient service: surgical, 131.1371 medical, 58.974, and in the wards, 29.001, making a total of 219,112. This would not include the service rendered by more prolonged treatment, which would average five times the figures just quoted, or 1,095,570 consulta- tions in nineteen years. The accident work of the hospital grew to great proportions, reach- ing a total in 1896 of 1,729 cases. Its central location was well adapted for the care of such patients, who were quickly brought to its door by an active ambulance service. This disproportion between the facilities afforded and the actual needs of the institution beca111e so marked that in 1892 the maternity ward was removed from its 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. E. D. Gillespie. In 1896, 117 women inmates sought its shelter, and 80 more were delivered at their homes. Many of these, when dis- charged, were provided witl1 employment. By affiliation with other charities, the devoted managers were able to care for the homeless children, and exert an elevating -moral influence upon those who came 35 x 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. P. Davis, M.D. It was soon found that thi: building was overtaxed, and accordingly a more commoclious 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 ofthe nursing. A well qualified Dircctress had charge of the School, who was assisted in the teaching by lecturers who gave annual courses to the nurses 011 subjects related to their employment. On December 3lSt, 1896, there were 38 pupil nurses in the School. Owing to the cramped quarters at the hospital, the Trustees in 1893 rented No. 518 Spruce street, as a Nurses' Home, and secured other rooms for the male nurses on Sansom street above Eleventh. Later they provided more convenient accommodations by removing to 226 South Seventh street. To ,maintain the hospital in its beneficent 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 35,000 a year donated by the State. In 1892 the sum of 3100.000 was appro- priated to aid in the construction of a new building better suited. to the demands of the time than the twenty-year-old structure, found in- adequate in many ways. To obtain this sum the Trustees were re- qui1'cd 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 con- firmed 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 Hospital Annex, temporary quarters were arranged for certain special clinics by constructing partitions and hallways. I A receiving and an examining room were provided for each of the following out-patient departments: Diseases of Children, of the Eye, 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. In 1896, the alumni having contributed 310,000 to purchase laboratory appliances, which were of the fmost recent and improved pattern, and necessarily very expensive, the Trustees set apart three upper floors for the elaborate study of diseases, required by the ad- vanced scicnce of the day. It was at the time considered the most 36 - B l 5 i : l . 1 l I x l 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 shone in through large windows on three sides. On the fourth Hoor was the laboratory for studying the normal conditions of the tissues and Huids of the body. Each investigator was furnished with a locked desk of substantial make for holding the ap- paratus needed in his study. Other cases were placed about the room for holding reagents, chemical apparatus, microtomcs, 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: 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 photo- graphic dark-room with appliances for developing the X-ray pictures taken from the hospital cases. 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 destruc- tion. Here the means of disinfection could be tested, adulterations of food proven and reports made upon sewage pollution and the effects of filtration upon drinkin.g 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. Rosenfberger as demolnstrator, 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 imore 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 pro- jected, the .ground for that purpose being the site of the old College building, extending from Tenth'to Juvenal street, and from Sansom to Moravian street. Now that the new College building is finished, it is proposed to 'begin the undertakingl 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 im-proved bedside methods. 37 By an act signed in june, 1897, the Legislature appropriated 325,000 a year for hospital maintenance for two years, and 350.000 toward ex- tending 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 scientfic 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 reputation as an authority in obstetrics. To this he joined accuracy in scholar- ship, a graceful literary style and a fervid eloquence peculiarly suited to public occasions. The vacant chair was filled by giving to the clinical professor, E. 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, P. Montgomery. was assigned the title Professor of Gynecology, his work to be both didactic and clinical. By the liberality of L. C. Vanuxem, Esq., of the Board of Trustees, in 1899, the students' laboratory of physiology was equipped with the most perfect appliances for teaching experimental physiology, and the direc- tion of it was entrusted to Prof. Brubaker. In the spring of 1900 J. Chalmers Da Costa was given the title of Professor' of the Principles of Surgery and Clinical Surgery, and F. X. Dereum that of Professor of Neurology and Mental Diseases. both having a seat in the Faculty. Obituary In September of the same year the Trustees met in special session for the purpose of ,giving expression to the profound sorrow which the death of Prof. Jacob M. Da Costa occasioned them, and adopted the following Minute in relation to the life and professional career of a man who, for more than a quarter of a century, was a conspicuous member of the Faculty of the College. Dr. Da. Costa was 'born in the Island of St. Thomas, XVest Indies, February 7th, 1833. After receiving a thorough classical education in Germany, he entered the Jefferson Medical College and was graduated in 1852. He then spent two, years in hospitals and medical schools of Paris and Vienna, returning to Philadelphia in 1854, and at once com- mencing' the practice of medicine. His professional reputation grew so rapidly that, in 1866, he was appointed Lecturer on Clinical Medicine at thc jefferson Medical College, and six years later was elected to the chair of Theory and :Practice of Medicine in that College, a posi- tion which he held until his retire-ment from active service in 1891, when he was elected Ifmcritux Professor. As a physician, his reputation may truthfully be said to have been 38 world-wide. Throughout the United States he was universally regarded as one of the greatest physicians of his day, while he was scarcely less esteemed and honored by the medical profession of England, France and Germany, to whom he was known by his writings and his fame as a diagnostician. As a teacher his capabilities were of the highest order. Lucid and thorough, with a manner so pleasing as to hold the constant attention of his students, his popularity with, them was such that the mere men- tion of his name in their hearing would invariably evoke a storm of applause. I-le was a cultured scholar and an accomiplished linguist. Ilis numerous addresses show the elegance and purity of his style and his wide range of knowledge outside of the literature of his profession. Gentle. courteous. kind. sympathetic, pure in thought as a child, devoted in his friendships, he was loved as few men are. His life may well serve as an example worthy of imitation by the young men who are preparing to enter the noble profession in which he was a shining light. In his death the world loses one of those most rare men who have made it better by their character and attainments: and his noble memory must ever be an incentive 'to noble deeds of self-sacrifice for thc love of mankind, especially in the science preeminently devoted to the needs of humanity. Thus loved and honored, he has in the 'fullness of his fame passed the portals that open upon the life eternal. WILLIAM POTTER. l'r4-.vi1l1'ul. SIMON Gniwz, N1'r'l'1'I1lr,l1. With commodious 'buildings. a liberal outfit of modern apparatus, a teaching corps united and enthusiastic, a large body of loyal alumni and students, every memiber of the College thrills with joyous expecta- tion as if parts of the frame of a mighty eagle that preens her wings for her noblest flight. zine Board of Trustees The names given below include first the members of the original Board off ten Trustees, residing in Philadelphia, who ,stood by the struggling school through all its dark days. and after them their sue- cessors appointed from time to time to fill vacancies.

Hare Medical Society of Jefferson Medical College was organized October 16th, 1891, by a number of Jefferson students, who met at the oliicei of Prof. Hare, thus enjoying the distinction of being the oldest among our College societies. Since its organization many other societies have been founded, whose combined influence has radically changed the social relations of College life. The membership is limited to forty, being chosen from the upper three classes. Meetings arc held in the society room on the second Tuesday evening of each month, after which a smoker is enjoyed, affording an opportunity for those present to become acquainted with the speaker of the evening. The success and progress of the society has been due to the un- ceasing interest and cooperation of Prof. Hare, through whose efforts the society has enjoyed the privilege of being addressed by many uf the most eminent memrbers of our profession, it being the object of the society to secure a speaker for each meeting in lieu of the reading and discussion of papers. To one of these: addresses each year it has been the custom to invite the student Ibody, after which a banquet has been given in honor of the speaker of the evening: Dr. W. B. Coley, of New York City, having been the guest of the society this year. The records of the past year show it to have been one of the most successful in its history, and those who 'bid farewell to the halls of dear old jefferson may look back with. fond recollections to the many happy and profitable hours spent together. 66 E 'QS wa 'YIHUUU M W f ' W ttilllllw W ' Wwr1 'f ffr ff5r1n !i f 5f' W 9 f I 1 I lf? - C 'w,, -v '-1 , QZff'.f31.f1,, ',:f:5: 'W N-1' HW!

Keen Surgical Society was founded on Ocober 29th, 1891, by those members of the Senior and Junior classes who, being especially interested in surgery, believed that an organization whose object should be the presentation and discussion of original papers would be at once interesting and of immense benefit. The Juniors were invited to cooperate, and the society was formed with a membership of forty. The project was presented to Professor Keen as senior professor of surgery, and' at once received his enthu- siastic endorsement. Accordingly, he,was elected Honorary President, and the society has since enjoyed the distinction of bearing his name. This was the beginning of society life in our beloved institution. Every son of Jefferson is proud to have sat under him whose name wc bear. Professor Keen has always taken an active interest in the society, entertaining its members on numerous occasions in a most delightful manner. As a surgeon with an international reputation for skill and ability, as a teacher unsurpassed and as a man of noble character, he has left his impress on the life of every member. As Jefferson 1nen have led the advance in American surgery during the last three-quarters of a century so may they ever do. As we study the influence of Miitter, Eberle, Dickson, Pancoast, Dunglison, Gross, McClellan, Mitchell, Meigs, Sims, Drake, Bache, Parvin, Cameron, Warren, Emmett, Brinton, Keen and others, it is witl1 the hope that dear Old Jeff will always be in the front ranks of progress. And who knows but what some member, past or present, stimulated by the en- joyable and profitable evenings spent in the society rooms, will burst forth upon the medical world with some new discovery that may cast a light into paths as yet untrod. , 71 WW f' , IA' - Q. -, Qi' 7Hf gf X CN 'x px Y' , ' ,,, ,pf .

I Five James C. Wilson Medical Society The James C. Wilson Medical Society was founded in ISQZ by several members of the Senior class. Professor J. C. Wilson was elected Hon- orary President, and the society has had the honor of since bearing his name. Upon the suggestion of our Honorary President, the society wisely adopted the motto: H110 f7'N'H 'Ill -ilffffifl'-i' The object of the society is the prosecution of original research and the discussion of sub- jects allied to the department of the practice of medicine. The papers read and discussed before the society have all proven that organization and good fellowship are of immense benefit and stimu- lation to individual effort. . Professor Wilson visits the society, and his kind criticism shows that he has at heart the welfare of the society and the improvement of the individual members. His presence always stimulates the members to put forth their best efforts in presenting papers. which not only prove of interest. but are also instructive to the members of the society. From time to time the society has had the pleasure of hearing addresses by its distinguished friends. It has been especially favored this year by being able to secure so able a man as Professor Wm. H. NVelch, of Johns Hopkins University, whose scholarly address proved an intellectual treat not only to the members of the society, but also to the many distinguished friends who visited upon this occasion. At their social gatherings during the year the members have been afforded the opportunity of personally meeting their professors and in- structors and many of the most prominent physicians and surgeons in Philadelphia. The society can well feel proud of its many sons, who, by their conscientious efforts, have not only been an honor to thcmseves but to the society as well. 75 In ww 'I 1' 11 VINQT4 III lx I 1 XHA I.

Davis Obstetrical Society The E. P. Davis Obstetrical Society has for its object the promotion of the interests and good fellowship of its members, as well 'as the read- ing and discussion of papers on the subject of obstetrics. The death of Professor Theophilus Parvin, in the spring of 1898, left the Obstetrical Society bearing the name of that distinguished gen- tleman 'without a patron saint, an adviser or counselor. The society continued its existence until the close of the school session, when, at a memorial meeting, it was disbanded. On the return of the members of the disbanded society a movement was begun for the organization of another one. At their first meeting an organization was completed, and a delegation waited on Professor Davis and requested the privilege of naming the society for him. Pro- fessor Davis not only consented but attended the meetings, and by his encouragement and good counsel has aided materially in bringing it to the high plane of excellence and dignity which it now occupies. The membership at that time being limited to twenty-five, it was necessary long before spring to have a waiting list, so rapidly did the society fill up. The energy and enthusiasm displayed by its members, and the interesting talks by Professor Davis made it impossible, on account of this limitation, to give a place on the roll to all seeking admission. At present the society is limited' to forty-five, and even now there are no vacancies on the roll. During the last year the members have shown exceptional interest, and the number and quality of the papers presented are unprecedented in the history of the society. A number of banquets have been given during the year, following a custom which was inaugurated during the early history of the society. This society has made an innovation in the mode of holding such functions. The members feeling that the pleasure of such affairs did not consist in the elaborate and formal manner usually observed in extending their hospitality, have varied this, and accordingly hold in- formal meetings, at which refreshments are served, and the students are afforded the opportunity of personally meeting the professors and instructors present at ,such meetings. This, perhaps, as much as any- thing else, has been thelmeans of making the Davis Obstetrical Society one of the most popular among all the medical societies, Good cheer and good fellowship linked with the proper inspiration. and enthusiasm, have made it a working, progressive and a model medical society. 78 lfhfjfxwr aww The E.

Hartman, S. T. Zelmer, A. J. Kistler, W. F. Long, R. M. Shipler, G. H. Drick, P. F. Boyle, C. H. Ernst, C. D. Heim, C. P. Snyder and S. N. Doane. On the 13th of November, 1901, these gentlemen meet in the College society room and organized The E. E. Montgomery Gynecological Society. Although in existence but a short time. through the kind assistance of Professor Montgomery and his able staff, and by the untiring efforts of its members, the society has rapidly advanced, until now it stands among the leading societies of the College. The object of the society is to assist its members to a better understanding of gynecology. The society meets the last Wednesday in each month.

Dereum Neurological Society There is always room for one more and plenty of room, too, if that one be so worthy of a place as the Dereum Neurological Society. During the month of April. 1901, Messrs. Keeney, VOIQ Baines, '03, Hudson, '03, and Blankemeyer, '03, met at the oflice of Dr. Boehroeh to lay plans for the formation of a society, having for its object the con- sideration of subjects of neurologic importance. Following the meeting. a committee waited upon Professor Dereum, and gained his consent to our naming the society in his honor. In the meantime, previously to our regular meeting, a committee drew up il Constitution and By-Laws. At the first regular meeting the following olihcers were elected: President, Mr. A. E. Thornton, Jr.g Vice-President, Mr. Louis Spitz, Secretary, Mr. H. Hudson. Jr.: Corresponding Secretary. Mr. H. J. Blankemeycr, Jr., Treasurer, Mr. IP. M. Peltzg Executive Committee- Messrs. Keeney, Sorin and Blankemeyerg Program and Invitation Committee-Messrs. Ingraham, Baines and Bell. Mr. Keeney was elected an active member for life, and a unanimous vote of thanks was extended to Dr. Boehroeh for his advice and en- couragement. Our first meeting during the term of 1901 and 1902 was held in the society room, October 15th, when we learned with much regret that our President, Mr. Thornton, would be unable to return to College, owing to illness. As our society was founded for the purpose of furthering our knowl- edge of neurology, we decided to discard the custom of student papers, and in its stead to have such persons address us as are capable of further- ing our knowlege on the subject. To this end we have been fortunate. Professor Dereum, Dr. Boehroeh, Dr. Gordon and Dr. Pickett read and discussed papers. Professor Mills, University of Pennsylvania, read an original contribution on the localization of brain tumors and the areas of the skull to be trephined in surgical operations. The address is soon to be published. Our society banquet was given at the Bingham House, Saturday evening, February 18th, 1902. On February 27th, Professor Dereum tendered a reception to the society at his home, 1719 Walnut street. This is the history in brief of the Dereum Neurological Society, a society of which to be proud, and having an honorary president of whom we are doubly proud. His kindness and fatherly interest in us will ever be one of the pleasant recollections of the four long years at Old Jeff. 8s The Orville Horwitz Surgical Society The Honorary Members Of the Society are : flauorafy l'1'cs1'a'c11l ORVILLE HORWITZ, M.D. HIRAM R.

The first animal smoker was held at the Art Club on the evening of April 27th 1901. The college term 1901-1902 saw the society in active working order, meetings being held twice a month, at which times quizes were conducted by Professor Horwitz on subjects pertaining to general surgery, Dr. Loux on fractures and dis- locations and Dr. Tucker on genito-urinary surgery. Much benefit and knowledge was gained by the members at these conferences, and they were voted a decided success and an innovation in society work. The second animal smoker was held at the Phi Alpha Sigma Fra- ternity house, on the evening of February 15th, 1902. The second annual election was held on the evening of March 13th, 1902, at which the officers for the College year IQO2-IQ031 were chosen as follows: Presi- dent, Geo. P. Pilling, jing Vice-President, L. D. Allisong Secretary, A. B. Schnaderg Treasurer, J.W. McKem.yg Chairman Executive Committee, H. S. Smith. After the election the society repaired to Green's Hotel, where a light lunch was served. 88 W. M. L. Coplin Pathological Society S. W. DANA, Prcsidmzl, Members Class of 'os W. M.

FLUKE, I Coplin Pathological Society For several years past repeated efforts to organize a body of students at Jefferson for the systematic study of the subject of pathology have been attempted, but for various reasons no definite end was ever accom- plished till the matter was taken up by a few of the members of the Class of 1902 duriii the session of 1900 and Igor. It was found at this time that inte1'est was daily growing as to the need of an institution among the student body, from which some benefit might be gained along this important branch of medical science. Accordingly, a permit was obtained from the Dean of the College to use the society room as a meeting place, and an attempt at primary organization was effected December 7th, 1900. Members of the Junior, Sopho-more and Freshman classes were in- cluded among the charter members, numbering about twenty-five in all. A committee from among this number was chosen to wait upon Professor Coplin and solicit his consent to foster such an organization. This was done, and after a careful consideration of the state of affairs, he kindly acquieseed to become the patron saint of a pathological society at Jefferson Medical College. Two weeks later, permanent organization was effected, officers elected, a Constitution and By-Laws approved, and the organization adopting the name of the Professor W. M. L. Coplin Pathological Society of Jefferson Medical College. Much interest was manifested in the welfare of the society by the entire student body from the beginning, and the quota of membership was quickly filled from the ranks of the three lower classes, many appli- cations being received from desirable men, for whom it was found im- possible to find place and retain the membership limit at fifty. During these early days in the society's history some very interest- ing meetings were held, two papers were presented and read by respec- tive members of the society each evening, and many lively discussions ensued, from which the members derived an unlimited amount of benefit, as they did also from the practical talks given by some of the able assist- ants to the teaching staff of pathology in this College. 91 Professor Coplin displayed a lively interest from the start, and furthered the welfare of the society in many ways, ever giving counsel and guidance to those seeking it, and encouraging the work and energy by attending the meetings. giving helpful suggestions and rendering in- valuable service to the gentlemen in their preparation of subjects to be presented before the society. The society has a library fund, derived from the membership fees, and from time to time such books as can be procured will be added to the collection, which is at the disposal of the members for their use in original research work or the preparation of papers. During the past session the society has enjoyed a prosperous growth, and the interest displayed by the ofticers and members is an evidence that the seed sown at the time of organization still continues to grow. A very neat symbol has recently been officially adopted, and a cer- tificate of membership, which will be presented to each member upon graduation, is in preparation. The W. M. L. Coplin Pathological Society is young, but it has a fair future, and we predict that in time not far distant it will stand in the first rank among the many societies of our dear old Ullrlw NblU0l'- K 'iii'li lllfliiilJ:1'v-.,v!-HP ? s ,il :Q ' f l ii' ivmijaiiiiinli ' NI it A .

Ilamlvl. In all ages the wonderful mechanism of the human body has been admired, but only in recent years have men had the unrestrained op- portunity to study it in detail. Prejudice and superstition curbed the ambition of former Jefferson students by denying them material. Professor VV. S. Forbes, seeing the student thus ha-mpered, bent all his energies toward procuring a remedy through the Legislative halls of the State. Finally, in 1883, a law was passed providing for such material. NVitl1 a definite source of material, the subject of anatomy became more fascinating to the Jefferson student, and as a result. in November of 1893 the idea of an Anatomical League was conceived and realized. Professor Forbes was asked to act as its honorary president and coun- selor, which he most graciously consented to do. Consequently the organization was named The W. S. Forbes Anatomical League. Thus the first under-class society of Jeliferson Medical College, as well as the first anatomical society of the student body of any American school of medicine, sprang into a vigorous existence. The object of the League is the cultivation and dififusion of ana- tomical knowledge. Its memfbership is limited to Fifty, thirty Sophomores and twenty Freshmen. Its meetings are held every second and fourth Friday evening of the month in the College society room. Originally, three papers upon anatomical themes were readat each meeting, and an additional two members were appointed to discuss each of the said papers, nine members thus being permitted to take active part in each meeting. But during the last year the prepared papers were delivered without recourse to the same, and the discussions were limited strictly to mistakes and omissions in the preceding remarks, each speaker being given an opportunity to reply to criticisms of his statements. 93 As an additional stimulus, Professor Forbes has offered from year to year a prize of S150 to the member of the League passing the best examination in anatomy, the same to be awarded upon his receiving the degree of Doctor of Medicine from Jefferson Medical College. Last year this prize was awarded to M. J. O'Neil, of Rhode Island, while A. E. Crow, of Pennsylvania, received honorable mention. This year Professor Forbes will give honorable mention to three men, instead of one, giving their relative grades, thus making a total of four conferred honors. The names of the prize winners, together with those receiving hon- orable mention, are placed on the honor roll of the League, while each member upon graduation will receive a diploma of merit signed by Professor Forbes. On February 20th the League gave a. most enjoyable and elaborate banquet at Hotel Bingham, in honor of Professor Forbes. Altogether the League has had a most prosperous year under the leadership of the following faithful and competent corps of officers: President, F. C. Leytzeg Vice-President, E. F. Stevenson, Secretary, J. M. Pumphreyg Treasurer, LeRoy C. Waggoner. ti v qs Null 5 ,Ji i -rf Wifi-L, ji- ':'lqg'ei,.,. r ilfliizg-tf'. :4,f?Q 4f A gig- F E RQ1'f lfX 'L 1341 vii 94 Chapman Physiological Society ROHERT MoRR1s, ,O4, Presideni. A. T.

Chapman Physiological Society On February 3d. 1899. twenty-five members of tl1e Class of 1901 met in the College reading room to consider the organization of a Chapman Physiological Society for tl1e advancement of the interests of Jefferson Medical College, the promotion of a stronger intellectual life by a friendly intercourse among tl1e men banded together in tl1e name of tl1e society. the discussion of research into all subjects pertaining to the science of physiology. A. B. Craig and NV. C. Vail were elected Chairman and Secretary pro tem., respectively. A committee was appointed to draw up a constitution. On February 17tll, tl1e newly-formed society n1et and adopted tl1e constitution pre- sented by Fulkrod, Bland and Vail. The society then proceeded to elect the following officers, according to the newly-adopted constitution: President, Collin Fulkrod: Vice- President. P. B. Bland: Secretary. W. C. Vail: Treasurer. J. B. Miller. Desparcl had tl1c honor of reading tl1e first paper bcf01'e tl1c society. On April 15th, 1899, the following officers from tl1e Class of 1902 were elected for tl1e ensuing yea1': President, George Potter: Vice- President, P. S. Pelouze: Secretary. P, VV. XVakefield: Treasurer, E. J. Bcardsley. i Early in the fall of tl1e same year the subject of a society library was discussed. and a committee was appointed to make the necessary arrangements. This committee C0l'liCI'l'CCl with Professors Chapman Zllili Brubaker: who, being heartily in favor of such an idea, lent their aid to tl1e 1noveme11t, Professor Chapman offering thc use of his r0o111 for such a purpose and donating the current medical periodicals. On the night of February 22d, 1900, the first society smoker was given. The 0FF1cers for 1900-1901 were elected in March, 1900, and were as follows: President, Edwards: Vice-President, Stanton: Secretary, Hay: Treasurer, Harrington. In the winter of 1900 the subject of society certificates to graduating members was discussed at le11gtl1, but not until the spring of the follow- ing year was anything done in this line. At this ti111e the society took the matter up vigorously. and so far accon1plisl1ed their purpose that 97 the founders of the society, on graduating. were presented with cer- tificates. A smoker was held on the night of February 2lSt. at which were several members of the College faculty. Un April 4th, IQOI, the following newly-elected officers were in- stalled, to serve for the ensuing year: President, R. Morris: Vice- President, A. T. Gardiner: Secretary. E. E. Hamati: Treasurer. D. W. Henry. During IQOI-IQOZ there were several very interesting addresses given by members ofthe Faculty and some of the demonstrators. The society gave a smoker in the fall. and on tl1e eve of VVashington's Birthday held a banquet, at which the Faculty members present responded to toasts. Professor Chapman, in responding to the toast The Society. offered a prize to be given each year to two members of the second-year class. A prize for the best demonstration of any physiological subject and a prize for the best treatise on any given demonstration. In three years and a half the H. C. Chapman Physiological Society has grown from a society of twenty-five members and a weak organiza- tion to the strongest and most Hourishing second-year society in the Jefferson Medical College. 5 ..

I., and entered school at the age of hve years. VVhen he was twelve years and six months of age he entered the Academy at VVhitehall, N. Y., and attended there until l1e was sixteen yea1's old. He graduated in June, 1890. He then entered the New Yorlc College of l'harmacy in 1893, and graduated, receiving the degree of 1-'h.G. in 1895. He was' a practicing' apotheeary for cight years, and was a member of joppa Lodge, No. 29, lf. A. M., which he entered on September 30th, 1896. He entered the Sophomore class at jefferson Medical College on Gctober Ist, 1899, being allowed one year for his degree in pharmacy. In the early part of December, 1901, he was compelled to leave college for home on account of a severe illness, from which he died on Janu- ary 24th, 1902. l l l 17,1 IOI JAMES c. HOWARD There is no deathg what seems so is transition. This life of mortal hreath ls hut a suhurh of the life Elysian, XfVhose portal we call Death. -I.m1gft'Il0fc'. James C. Howard was horn in Klasontown, Pa., ,llecemher 6th, 1878, son of Nr. and Mrs. -I. M. lloward. .He was educated in the puhlic schools of that place, and was graduated with honors. .llc was possessed of un- tiring' energy, studying hard and applying himself closely to every hranch of his work. Not only in the school- room, hut in the Held of athletics did he excel, winning the admiration and love of 'his companions. That he threw his whole soul into every task may he inferred from the fact that, at the age of sixteen, he was made principal of his own school for one term, in which period he won a prize in a contest given by the superintendent of the Fayette county schools. His excellent mental training displayed itself in a difficult W'est Point examination,' which he passed as alternate in a class of thirty. Although he lost his ap- pointment through the success of his rival, he did not wholly relinquish his idea for pursuing military service. He became a member of Company C, Tenth Regiment N. G. P., and when the Spanish war broke out he was 103 prepared to go. However, owing to the fact that one brother had already entered the army, he yielded to the urgent appeals of his parents and remained at home. The volunteer who had donned his uniform was the first to fall in the battle of Manila. Mr. Howard now turned his attention to the study of medicine and determined to make that his life profes- sion. Added to a natural ability and an inherent earnest- ness, a scientific trend of mind, argued well for un- bounded success in the future. He first attended the Medical Department of the VVestern University of Pitts- burg. but came to jefferson the following year, entering the Class of IQOZ. During the two years with us he achieved his characteristic success. An indefatigable student. he won his way to the head of the class. He became a member of the Forbes Anatomical League and received honorable mention in the examination for the Leaguelprize in anatomy. He was a member of the Keen Surgical Society, having been elected secretary of that society at the end of his -lunior year: also a member of the Coplin Pathological Society. Nor did he strive for intellectual greatness alone: a high spiritual development was always his aim. He was an earnest worker both in the Church and in the Young Men's Christian Asso- ciation. 104 i l i , 11 During his vacation he assisted his brother, Dr. Howard, at Fairmount, W. Va., where hosts of friends were won by his loving disposition and prevailing cheer- fnlness. Here it was that his tragic death occurred. August 19th, Igor, while visiting a patient, the horse he was driving became frightened and unmanageable, and ran away. He assisted his companion from the buggy, and in endeavoring to get out from behind himself, was violently thrown and instantly killed. The funeral, which was the largest ever witnessed by that city, took place at Masontown, l'a., a fitting tribute of the honor and high respect in which he was held by all who knew him. ln his death the Class of 1902 has lost one of its most valuable members and most promising representativesg one for whom no task was too great for strenuous effort: nothing too small or trifling to be overlooked. A most loyal friend and staunch helper. Living and loving, winning and sharing, doing and daring. VVith our hearts we may say: Sleep sweetly, noble heart, in peace! Sleep, holy spirit, blessed soul, While the stars burn and moons increase, And the ages onward roll. 105 MORRIS A. B. LONG i 1 1 1 u Morris A. ll.

JEFFERSON Athletics at Jefferson By Harry Burke Lochhead Athletics at Jefferson owe much to the Class of '02. Previous to their entrance there had been no organized system inaugurated, and what little interest there was shown was due to the efforts of the few who, in the fall of '96, organized a foot ball team and played a few games merely for love of the game. It was a successful team and won all its games, including one from Medico Chi, whom they defeated by the score of 4 to 0. Curiously enough, the captain of that team was the brother of Sharp, 102, the president of our class, and the one man that has had more to do with the organization of athletics at Jeffer- son than any other. A In the spring of '97 Jefferson was represented in the relay races at the University of lfemisylvania hy a team, and won first place in its class, Harkness, of '01, now a resident in Jefferson Hosp-ital, was a member of that team. Students at a professional school, especially medicine, have little time to spare, and the location of Jefferson being in the center of the city, with no accessible grounds, made it hard to get students interested. But the new college building con- tained a fine gymnasium, and other colleges of the same kind had teams, so, in the fall of '99, at the instigation of Sharp, '02, a meeting of those interested in foot ball was called. Sharp was made captain, and the team was composed of Walker, '03, center, Hart, '03, and Mylin, '03, guards, Deliay, ,O2, and Pabst, '02, tackles, Stewart, '03, and Sharp, '02, ends, Loch- head, '02, was quarter-back, and Hazlett, '03g Bowers, '03, II4 Rodman, ,O2j Moore, TO3, and Hemphill, '03, were backs. The team lost one game that year, and that was to Medico Chi, by the score of 11 to 6. lt was a hard game to lose, and it was a combination of referee and timekeeper that caused it. In the meantime, there had been an Athletic Association formed, with j. L. Harkness, lOl, as president. An indoor meet was held in December of that year, in which the Class of ,O2 came off victorious through the efforts of Britt, Hartzell. Lockhead and Rodman, '02 class, scoring 33 points out of a possible 56. ' ln the spring' of 1900 a base ball team was organized. The season was necessarily short, owing to closeness of examina- tion and the closing of college. ll. J. lleardsley, ,O2, was elected manager and H. lil. Lochhead, '02, captain. The team lost their first game to the l-'hiladelphia Dental College, but won the other Hve, the last being from Medico Chi by the score of 9 to 2. The game was won principally through the fine efforts of .l'efferson's battery, Schwartz, '00, and Altman, lOl. The game could hardly be mentioned without telling of the fine throw of Sammy NfVoods, '00, from deep right field, cutting off the runner at home when the bases were full and two men out. The fall of 1900 was a disastrous 0110 for jefferson, as far as athletics go. Loehhead, '02, was captain and Sharp, ,O2, manager. The Hrst game was with Pennsylvania College of Dental Surgery and was won handily by the score of 35 to O. Then came a series of disasters. jefferson played Haverford, losing in the last half minute of the, last half by a score of 6 to o, the training of the Haverford boys telling, Five of 'leffers0n's men were laid out and never recovered their form. Lochhead had his knee thrown out at Chester while practicing, and the season wound up by the team being defeated by Medico Chi by the score of I7 to 5. That fall, Sharp was elected president of the'Athletic As- sociation, and in the indoor meet, held in December of that year, the Class of ,O4 carried all before them, chieHy through the efforts of VVaggoner, jefferson, Fredrickson and Anderson. 115 Moore, '03, was captain of the 'OI base ball team, and a good team was organized, but out of a schedule of six games rain prevented four, and Medico Chi backed out of its game the night before the game. Jefferson again lost her first game to the Philadelphia Dental College by the score of 5 to 2. The season of Igor opened up well. Sharp was ag'ain man- ager, Schnader, '03, former captain of Franklin and Marshall, and end on last year's team, had been elected captain. The team practiced three times a week with the Pennsylvania Rail- road Y. M. C. A. team, and the team gotten in better shape through his efforts thanpever-before. The season opened by Jefferson winning from Lebanon Valley College, the Philadel- phia Dental College and Haverford, but they lost their Franklin and Marshall and to Medico Chi again by score of I7 to 0. During the winter a basket ball team was organized, with Mace, '05, manager, and Bowers, '03, captain. It played a hard and fast game, winning the majority ,of its schedule, and on February 22tl winning from the Medico Chi team hanclily by the score of 20 to 14. Things are better organized for next year. Schnader was again elected captain, and S. C. Smith, '04, formerly manager of Bucknell University team, manager. Manager Smith has already arranged games with Lebanon Valley College, Franklin and Marshall, Haverford, Swarthmore, Philadelphia Dental Col- lege and Medico Chi. S Arrangements have been made with the Philadelphia Pro- fessional foot ball team for practice with them three times a week, at the National League ball grounds, and he is working in every way to get men out and to have a better team next year. Sharp, Lochhead, Bowman and Bellamy, of this year's team, leave college this year. VVhile athletics at jefferson have not been a brilliant suc- cess, they are at least nicely started, the spirit of the students is up, and they stood by the team nobly both in victory and defeat, and it certainly has in the last three years increased tl1e college spirit fifty per cent. 116 MRS MRS MRS MRS MRS MRS MRS The Women's Auxiliary OF THE Jefferson Medical College OF PHILADELPHIA .

HARLAN PAGE Else Jefferson Students' Reading Room and Library N presenting the Annual Report for 1899, the,Board of Managers of the jefferson Students' Reading Rooms take pleasure in. showing that their work has progressed in spite of difficulties. Their rooms were given them by the Trustees in the present laboratory building, and they had much to contend with in space limit, dirt and thin partitions, while alterations were made there, but it has ended in their moving to large rooms in the new college building, with special arrangements made for the accommoda- tion of the library. Much dissatisfaction has been expressed with the name of the organization, the managers feeling that their work has out- grown its former scope and the name is therefore inappropriate. It is to be hoped that when their relations with the college are clearly defined, a suitable name will be found. Aconstitution was draughted last year, which we hope will bind us together more firmly and make our work more effec- tive. Three new members have been added to the Board of Managers. Our limited space has made social entertainments in the rooms impossible, but three requests for teas, coming from the students, show that the social side of life is needed by them. One tea was given, but owing to its being near examination time, was attended by a very small number. 1'-lowevcr, a recep- tion, given in the hospital the evening of commencement, was a success. Arn entertainment, netting over 35500, was given at IIS the Philadelphia Cricket Club by friends of the Board of Man- agers to raise money for medical books for the library. The pool table was run more successfully than ever before, the managers receiving a good income by paying the janitor ten per cent. of the profits. The lsloard has a new enterprise in mind, namely, that of establishing a dormitory for the students, as many of them have very poor accommodations. Towards this purpose they have collected 35339. The Board of Managers have acceded to the request of the fvffvzawiiiaiz to send a monthly report of their work to that paper, and last spring also Sent an account of their work to the Class Book for 1899. - The managers are glad to state that the library has been increased by 1,595 volumes, besides many journals and pam- phlets, a list of the donors is given below. This includes a gift by Dr. Greene of a chemical library of I,I4O volumes. On September 28th, the Board of Managers passed a resolution presenting these books, which had been in their keeping, to the Jefferson Medical College. A complete card catalogue is being made on the system used in the Surgeon-General's lib-rary in Washington. A plan for interesting the alumni and gaining a steady in- come for the library is in operation, the idea being to form an Associate Library Committee, each member of which shall make himself a center of work for collegiate books and money. This committee now numbers thirty-three, and it is desired to make it one hundred. Several of the Out-patient Departments of the College Hospital are interesting themselves in the library, and we hope for some material result from those interested. A plan for the establishment of an agency for college text- books was formulated, but was left in abeyance, as there was a possibility of combining it with a more general agency in the fall. At the time of the removal of many soldiers of the Cuban army to the Jefferson College Hospital, a letter was sent to the II9 superintendent, offering the help of the managers in any direc- tion, but none was required. For four years the Board has employed a respectable woman to look into boarding-houses for students which would be suitable in surroundings and price to meet their various needs. The character. location, guests, bedding, table, service, etc., are all examined, and a list of reputable houses, with prices, furnished the Dean, for the convenience of strangers. lt is to be hoped that the work of the Board will continue and increase the progress of the new era in the Jefferson Medical College.

The VVomen's Auxiliary of the Jefferson Medical College, under the name of the Students' Reading Rooms Association, began in 1894 to collect books for the use of the students. Gradually, and as the result of much effort, a library of two thousand volumes was accumulated. .lt has supplied a long- felt need. The library is consulted by the students at all hours. Especially in the intervals between lectures and laboratory work does it enable the students to make the very best use of time that would otherwise be wasted. The library is intended for the students exclusively, and no charge whatever is made. The maintenance of the library entails a very considerable expense. The services of a competent librarian are constantly required, and new books, journals and numerous duplicates of copies of books useful to students must from time to time be secured. The expense is met by yearly contributions of the Ladies of the Auxiliary and by moneys raised by an annual en- tertainment. The Ladies of the Auxiliary, however, find them- selves in a position in which it is important that they should have Hnancial and other material aid from the Alumni and friends of the school. The hearty cooperation of the Alumni especially is desired. and they are hereby requested to send such duplicate copies of medical works as they may have in their own libraries. especially treatises of which they are themselves the authors. The library is in constant use, but the committee finds its work much hampered by the want of a ,sufficient num- ber of duplicates. Donations, either in the way of books or endowment, will go far to meet this need. I2I A College Song Loyal as Dear Old -leff's alumni and students are, that loyalty finds most charming rivalry bubbling forth from the hearts and minds of her fair daughters, as is gracefully attested by the following song, composed by Miss Montgomery and generously contributed to our college lore: Jefferson College Song Tnnc--Mnrylalnd, My Maryland. There is a college of great renown, Jefferson, oh Jefferson, 'Twas founded in a Quaker town, jefferson, oh Jeffersong lts men are found in East and VVest, Its lore and learning' are the best, And every one can stand the test, Jefferson, oh jefferson. The ties that bind us to thy fame, jefferson, oh jefferson, Wfill keep us from deceit and shame, jefferson, oh Jefferson. Thy strenuous sons will ever strive To keep thy name and creed alive, And look to thee with love and pride, Jefferson, oh Jefferson. 122 In coming years of time and space, Jefferson, oh Jefferson, May thy deep learning grow apace, Jeiferson, oh jefferson. Oh, may thy glory brighter shine And reach the shores of every elime, Defeating Death of Life sublime, jefferson, oh jefferson. RIQFRAI N.

W'e appreciate your com- ing the more, regarding it, as we do, as evidence of your in- terest in us, rather than in what you shall see or hear. We have been preparing for this event for some time-indeed, for four years past. You shall hear, in story and in verse, of the deeds of the members of our class, of theirundertakings, which have sometimes been successful, and of their hopes which the future shall determine. The poet, with groanings that can be heard, will deliver himself of much vaporg the prophet will un- roll our futures before your eyes, eonsigning many of us to untimely ends and none to peaceful lives, with a sense of duty well done and pleasure undisguised. .You will go away, think- -ing, doubtlessly, that we feel naught but joy that our college life is drawing to a closeg thinking, also,,that we are all eagerness to go forth to put into practice the theories and the knowledge we have imbibed at the expense of much time and labor. We admit as much, but mingled with that eagerness there is a regret, only half acknowledged to ourselves, that our school days are overg that this means the breaking of the ties which have bound us together in respect and affection during the last four years. Time, ably assisted by our professors, has decimated our ranks, but closing up the gaps, shoulder to shoulder, we have pressed forward until to-day we are proud that we are counted worthy to be numbered among the sons of jefferson. 127 Classmates, with the closing of to-morrow's exercises the Class of '02 will, as a class, be no more. We shall go to widely separated parts of our own country, aye, some of us even to foreign lands, bearing the diploma of our chosen pro- fession. Many of us shall never meet again. Let us seek, as far as possible, to perpetuate these college friendships, peculiar in themselves, formed before the demands and interests of later life step in. They will be a joy in the victories which will be won and a comfort in the defeats whichfwill certainly be met. At no time will the voice of friendship ring truer than at the time of sorrow and trouble. That which our teachers have given us is but the body, an inert thing, unless we breathe into it the energy and per- severance that shall make it live. There will be presented to us, in the new century, problems as grave and interests as vital as have been given to those before us. Every honor and every reward is open to us if we but try, and trying, will persevere. Gur medical forefathers groped their way along a dark and narrow road that extended down through many centuriesg it was strewn with pitfalls of ignoranceg overhung with clouds of superstition and bigotry, lightened here and there by the genius of a Hunter, of a Jenner and of a Lister. That road is becoming brighter and broader now. Our teachers have di- rected our steps thus far, but now we nmst push forward our- selves. Let us be earnest and conscientiousg not theorists only, but practical men: not followers, but original thinkers and workers, and if we can advance the cause of science but a single step nearer that goal where perfect knowledge shall blot out the shapes of foul disease. it cannot be said that we have striven in vain. To you, members of the classes that shall come after, we leave as a legacy the movement that had its revival with the founding of a newer Jefferson, a revival in which this class has had some part, namely, the promotion of college spirit. Strive to bring about a larger community of interest and a better 128 college sentiment among the classes, so it may be in the futu re F as it has been in the past, that Those widely scattered- Class upon class that o'erfaex ., c our country, May laugh with pride when their fellows name j'1Qr1rl5RsoN. . . l . , Y , V ' Q ---- .

Moore LADIES AND GIiN'l'LlCMliNI- We are gathered together here to-day to celebrate the completion of our college course. W'e are honored by your presence: we are grateful for your interest. To the world at large, an event like this is less than a ripple upon the broad face of the Atlanticg to us, it is the crossing of the Rubicon- the launching of the ship-the laying of the corner-stone of our professional destinies, A glance backward reminds us how swift is the flight of time. Four years ago the present moment seemed like some far-off millennium. The plunge into the forest was made, and the climb upward begun. Change, death and failure were evi- dent at each successive halt. And at length this company has come forth upon the summit, and have asked for and received commissions to scale other and higher peaks. In retrospect, it seems as almost nothingg but in the doing it was fraught with exertion and sacrifice as severe as that prescribed in any course of professional training. And as for the moment we stand in this place, where others have been, and still others are to be, the searching mind of visitor and friend wonders, no doubt, what thought, what feel- ing dominates within us. Perhaps no adequate answer can be given to such a query. The ruling ideas of even a single mind lie buried deep beyond the reach ofthe keenest psychology. But so far as reasonable observation can go, it is no foolish pride for the past, no ini-lated satisfaction with the present. This is truly but a ''Commeneement, and our eyes are turned toward the future. 130 Into it we strain our vision: into it we hang our hope. The first skirmish has been fought: the real battles are to come. The scent of these fiercer fields stirs the war spirit in us. We are anxious for the onsetg we are eager for the contest. And, no doubt, some older and wiser here to-day ask the reason for this instinct. Have we not heard that there are no New VVorlds to conquer? Is not the roll of the Immortals complete? Is there not now a vast host in advance? Are there not, at this very hour, numberless men of highest gifts, skilled by years of experience, in the field? Are wc not ignorant of the difficulties which are to come? Have we considered the disap- pointments which certainly are before us? And to all this, and more, we listen with bowed heads and profound respect, and seek to weigh its fullest meaning. Not one word of contradic- tion do we offer, not one denial do we make. Yet, in the face of all, we turn with gladdened countenance to things yet to come, undaunted and nnshaken, full of hope and certain cour- age, assured that success can yet be mastered, and ready now to give the reason for the faith which to-day forms the theme of our discussion: The Esscnztzirzal Factors in Om' Oplinzism. In the first instance, we find ourselves possessed of highest courage because of the marvelous age in which we live. Every period in the world's history has had its lights and shadowsg every century its blessings and opportunities. The trend of civilization has certainly been moving upward. Discovery, i1n- provement, progress have characterized, more or less, each suc- ceeding epoch. The great heroes of the past stand immortal still in the present. The fullest measure of credit is always thei1's. Ilut after all has been said, we feel confident that they would join ns in declaring that this is truly the Augustan Age -this the best the world has ever seen. For this ,is the age of liberty-civil and religious. This is the day when men own their own lives. This is the period of free communication, so that, as one awakens in the morning, he knows what has transpired and what is transpiring in every part of the world. This is the age of progress,when men no longer glory in maintaining things r3r as they have been, but are everywhere anxious to improve upon what they inherit. The thought of the day is forwardg the mind is receptive to new ideas. No longer do kings and priests sit upon the seats of judgment to condemn those whom the spirit of the age stirs to vigor and to action. The Inquisition is passed: the fagots are burned, and the instruments of torture relegated to our museums. The school, the ,press and the free library are disseminating intelligence and knowledge broadcast. Charity and goodness are more potent than ever. Never has the general well-being of mankind been so marked as now. And from the Orient to the Occident there is felt a constant inspira- tion to improve, to advance, to achieve. The strain of the hymnal runs true: XVe are living, we are moving in a grand and awful time, ln an age on ages telling, to be living is sublime! No one can live in a period like this and be conscious of what surrounds him without feeling a thrill of hope, deep- and strong. as he undertakes his life-work. Men and women en- gaged in any service ought to be hopeful in days like these. And those called to a learned profession, particularly, as they contrast the present with the past, ought to take up their work with the highest measure of courage and enthusiasm. But in the next instance, we are optimistic to-day, because of the magnificent land which is ours. No word of eulogy is needed from this place, and at this time, for great, p1'OllCl. America. Her name is the hope of millions beyond the sea. ller rugged mountains, her broad plains, her mighty forests and her rich mines form the physical basis for our greatness and prosperity. Her climate .is not that of the frozen North, nor yet that of the dreamy South. Nature is kind to us in every way. She has given us the temperate climate-where the minds and souls of men are ever stirred to busy activity. In this climate great inventions are devised, the secrets of nature dis- covered, the principles of democratic government wrought out, I52 and all that makes for the enlightenment of the mind, for the strengthening of character and for the activity essential to well- being and success is found present. These are constantly stim- ulated by the very atmosphere which we breathe. Ours is not a Switzerland, with its Alps, an Italy, with its skies, a Germany, with its Rhine, but within our broad boundaries, scenery as grand, skies as beautiful and rivers as broad and placid as those anywhere to be found are multiplied to us. Difficult, indeed, is it to describe the wealth of nature here. But no one who has jour- neyed to other climes, and studied with unprejudiced eye, could have returned to his own country and failed to have. found that here we have combined practically all of the wealth and beauty of other lands. And on either side the mighty oceans are our fortresses.-And what shall 'I say of the people of our common- wealth? They comprise the mixed blood of many races. Our history reads like some fascinating novel. The Pilgrim in New England, the Cavalier in Virginia, the stolid Dutch in New York and the thrifty Germans in Pennsylvania--these laid the corner-stone, and their children, mingling with hosts that have come from other lands, have produced a race marvelous for skill, ingenuity, thrift and power of application. lt is no boast to say that we lead the world. Our heroes compare favorably with those of Greece and Rome, our traditions rival those of classic histo1'y. No pyramids, no Acropolis, no feudal ruins do we boast, but a great, broad, rich and fertile country, with a people free, progressive and contented--that is America. And when we consider that we are but in the infancy of our life, we cannot but take a degree of sensible pride in the home that we have, and the people we have become, and feel everlastingly grateful and encouraged that it is our privilege to be part and parcel of a country like this. E NVC are optimistic, again, because of the royal profession which is ours. It would be a sad condition, indeed, to find one hundred and fifty men beginning their life-work with any other feeling than this. The age and land ought to produce hope in every life. The fisherman upon the Banks, the lnmberman in the 133 camp, the plowman on the prairie, the miner in the shaft, the hosts who produce things necessary to life, and the great armies engaged in business and traffic-all these have reason for cheer and enthusiasm as they take up callings so necessary and hon- orable. lint we feel that the medical profession is especially fortunate in the advantages which it offers, in the history which it has, in the service which it renders. 'Not that all its past has been great: not that all its present is perfectg far from it. But in spite of defect and failure, in spite of shortcomings and mistakes, it has been the primary force to beat back the plague, to miti- gate human pain and suffering, to carry mercy to the fields of battle, to take cheer, health and sunshine into the homes of the poor and into the halls of the rich. From its beginning to the present hour, its mission has been one and the same-to relieve suffering and to prolong life. Its heroes and apostles are as worthy as any the world has seen. Their services have been as great and their devotion as unselfish as any that has actuated the lives of men.-The public has raised its momunents to its soldiers and captains. These are found in every State, in almost every hamlet. War has been inevitable, and its heroes deserve their meed of praise. But their actual service has been the pro- duction of suffering, anguish and death. In what contrast has been the work of our professional fathers! Not to infiict pain, not to produce suffering, not to destroy life, but to bind np, to soothe, to comfort, to restore-that has been the glory of our profession. And to-day its service is witnessed in the splendid hospitals of our cities, in the homes for the outcast, in the asy- lums for the insane and in the inauguration of such sanitary measures as prevent the incoming and spread of plague and pes- tilence. And as we turn to things yet to come, and consider the advancement that is bound to be, we can rest assured of one thing, that in the multiplicity of service that shall be demanded, none is to keep a higher or more exalted place than that of the good physician and the honored surgeon.-Some vocations are trifling, some are temporary. The world could well dispense with some who receive its loudest praise. But the service of our 134 i 4 profession is, and must ever be, vital to the well-being and hap- piness of any people. And the day certainly will come when the names of Hippocrates, Cialen, Harvey, Rush. Parc, Lister, Gross and a host of others will be known, studied, appreciated and praised, certainly as highly and as truly as those who up to the present time are conspicuous for the prisoners they have cap- tured, and the armies they have slain. To join the ranks of such a host, to identify one's self with such a service, cannot fail to produce courage and hope in our own lives to-day. NVQ, again, find ourselves of good heart and spirit because of the thorough training which we have received. It is always a great thing to begin a great service or to take up a great profes- sion. There is little else in life more important. And while we have no word of criticism or contrast, we feel sure that the med- ical training received to-day is a vast improvement upon that given yesterday. In all the better schools the courses have been lengthened and the standard raised. The department of pathol- ogy is scarcely more than a decade old. Clinical training at the bedside, the employment of the X-rays, antiseptic methods, ma- ternity service, the use of the microscope and projectiscope, the numerous courses for the study of special diseases, together with the courses in neurology and advanced therapeutics-all these have come within the memory of those who call them- selves still young. The fathers wrought nobly with what they had. They accomplished great things under great limitations. Their minds were of a vigorous type, their achievements epoch- making in character. Yet it is no vain boast to say that, because of what they have done, and the superior advantages which they have given us, we ought to be prepared to begin our work far in advance of where they began theirs. XVe would be recreant to our opportunities, we would be a reflection to them, if this were not true. The discipline, the thoroughness and the recent- ness of our professional education ought to furnish us with an equipment superior to that of any who have gone before us. If it is not so, the fault is our own, the discredit is to ourselves. And in this presence I should singularly fail to express the con- 135 victions of my classmen if I omitted to state that, in our judg- ment, the curriculum and training, and the teaching ability found in our own beloved college is second to none found either in this land or in other parts of the world.-Mental discipline and the acquisition of knowledge give strength and force to any who possess it. Special training in some special vocation gives special confidence to him who receives it. In the fullness of time, from masters in their departments, we have received our professional education. VVe eschew egotismg we despise con- ceit. But we humbly hope that some of the seed has fallen into good ground, and as we reflect upon the course now com- pleted, we feel ourselves strengthened in heart and anxious to go forth with what we have, to add to it as we may, and to apply it with all the force and energy which we can summons. Finally, we are optimistic at this time because of the splen- did opportunity which is now given us to make the most of our- selves, and to be of the highest possible service to others. No one can feel greatly animated in doing that which is belittling. No one can have great courage whose service is slavish and menial. No one whose hands are tied, and whose head is bowed, can reflect much cheer and sunshine from his countenance. Life is not worth living under such circumstances, and men never achieve great things under such conditions. To start in one's career with the promise of nothing but monotony, slavery and unrequited toil--this can never be anything but depressing and disheartening in its iniiuence. Life is realized in the highest and best sense when men have some constant source of inspira- tion, when there is some high and worthy goal toward which they struggle. The promise of something better is absolutely essential to the noblest type of service. And when we contem- plate the commissions that have been given us, we feel sure that men have no more reason for beginning their work with the spirit of courage and hope than ourselves. Ours is to be a life with books, a life of investigation, a life of service and a life of sacrifice. XVC are to constantly improve the mind, to grow in judgmen-t and to enlarge the instinct of kindness in the soul. 136 VVe are to feed upon things that make men strong. Wfe are to build up ourselves that we may build up others. Not upon the public platform, not in assembly halls, not where art and literature are aipplaudedg not at the head of some great monop- olyg not upon the bridge of some flagship of the seag not in asserting dogma in Church or State. liar removed from all this is to be our vocation. Among all classes and racesg for those who have much and for those who have nothing, in season and out of season: by day and by night-our mission must ever be: to relieve physical paing to restore broken membersg to care for those in travailg to strengthen the aged and the weak: to radiate the spirit of kindness and sympathy: giving of the best we haveg spending, and being spent, as we may be guided-this is the pathway, this is the course upon which we are bound. lf proper use of mind and heart is the best test of service, where in all the employments of men is a grander or more inspiring voca- tion than ours? In what way and by what means could the noblest instincts be more constantly stimulated than in the pro- fession to which we dedicate ourselves to-day? In ancient Rome, when Caesar wished to curry favor, it was his custom to arrange periods of feasting and entertain- ment. The great Colosseum was the center to which all feet turned. And there, in gorgeous attire, emperor, princes, patri- cians and plebeians were entertained and delighted with exhibi- tions of ferocious beasts tearing their members in fragments, fierce battles fought in shipsg chariot races and athletic contests of the most thrilling and perilous character-such followed each other in rapid succession. And usually the climax was reached in the struggles of the gladiators. lt was the custom on the last day, when all the multitudes were assembled, and the great amphitheatre was crowded to its silken ceiling, for the emperor to take his place. and at a certain signal to have the iron doors thrown open and the gladiators march in solemn file across the arena, and then, in the hush of silence, turn and face the royal personages, and with uplifted sword and tremulous voice, ex- claim: Oh Caesar! we, who are about to die, salute you! T37 Such was the fate. such the termination of one of the great trained bodies of Imperial Rome. No such decree is made for us, no such salutation do we give. But rather turn to you here present, and say: XVe. who are about to begin our life-work, we, who have been served in the hope that we may serve others, we, who have been called to the noblest and most unselfish of professions, we salute you! Wie are optimistic. then, because of the age in which we liveg because of the land which is ours, because of the profes- sion which we have espousedgibecause of the training which we have received, and because of the splendid opportunity given us to grow useful and eflicient, and, in turn, to serve our fel- low-men. Counsel and direction are to come from others. A sugges- tion in briefest form is all we offer in conclusion. For we can- not repress the thought that with what we have received, and the work which we have begun, we must of necessity continue to be studentsg we must expect to redouble our efforts in the future. NVe are to learn, day by day, from our experience. WVe are to study and note the results of our practice. It will be wisdom to labor particularly upon some one line of our pro- fession, and inspired by the spirit which animated our fathers and our instructors, we are to push persistently forward, and to bear in mind that no one can long succeed, no one can reach permanent achievement unless he has in him that which makes for untiring effort and the disposition to constantly improve in one's methods. The great men of the past began in obscurity. Persistent toil and sacrifice won for them their high places. They served the world, and received their reward. To-day the same privileges are present. Problems great and small, op- portunities of every kind are -presented on every side. The air resounds with progress. The world is moving onward. The times are more and more exacting. Skill, honesty and good- ness of life were never at a higher premium. And as we begin our course and wencl our way, with the hope of reaching some place of credit, I can end with no better words, none better 138 suited to a day like this, than these stirring lines of Lowell, when he says: New occasions teach new duties, Time makes old good seem uncouthg They must ever on and upward XVho would keep abreast of truth.

' . Q Short as it may seem as we review the memories ' 5 of the past, it has been an epoch in our lives. Fit- O J 'Bs kv, V ting ourselves for the practice of the noblest of ' professions, we have joined hand in hand for a common end. NVe have known the bitter with the sweet: but now that all our trials are over, can we not look backward upon our many hours of earnest effort, our toils, our seeming tribulations, and say, with an honest heart. that all is well? The past belongs to memory. As we recall the many deeds of classmate and friend, the ambitions and rivalries of college life. the song and good cheer in which all have joined so heartily, the memories of all float past our minds as the morning breeze across the hills. XVe were but boys when we first entered this, the most im- portant era of our lives. W'e have voyaged together o'er many a stormy sea. llut now, as we go from the college which we love, to live and die in the practice of our profession, we must be men-ever ready to stand for right, bearing the banner of truth and honesty. ever exemplifying the fixity of purpose which should characterize proud sons of Jefferson. I have often seated myself in an easy-chair, like the pro- verbial bachelor. and abandoned myself to the spirit of reverieg and as I mused, many visions of the past floated before me like 140 dim spectres in a dream. Living in a Philadelphia boarding- house, I had no warm Ere in which I might gaze and watch the dying embersg but the wall-paper proved an excellent substitute, and as I gazed intently, each figure seemed to bring before me a new memory of the days gone by. More than once have I seen the tall form of Sheplcr, his face almost in the act of cracking a smile, but the vision would always fade before he had accomplished such an unheard-of thing. Again, I have thought I could see Iq'at,' Boyle flirting with one of the clinic nnrsesg but that, too, proved to be merely a vision. If it had been Drick or Mead, it would have been a horse of a different color, for I think I have spied them more than once gazing covertly, with sentimental eyes, upon the fair face and form of some petite nurse, when they thought no one was looking, As the many visions have passed before me, I have endeavored to pen them as they Hitted by-and now, fellow- classmates, I offer it-this story-to you as it has appeared to me. Part has been founded on fact, and part is fictiong but it is offered with the earliest hope that you will accept it in the same spirit in which it is written. FRIQSIIMAN YEAR. I-Iistory repeats itself, and it is here we record the pro- digious performance of Percy I'elouze, who, following the pre- cedent of the father of his country, crossed the Delaware, one perfect morning in june, to register as the primordial member of the Class of 1902. Over a century ago the paternal XVash- ington performed the same feat amid the icy blasts of a wintcr's night. Percy took matters more comfortably, however. I-Ie waited for a bright, sunny day, paid three cents, and embarked upon a ferryboat, eager to escape the strenuous life of cosmo- politan Camden. , One by one, many other names were added to the list, and when the time came for the opening of the college session, 156 men were enrolled. It was in autnmnal October, when the leaf is yellow and sere, that the Iireslnnen, still verdant and green, l4I arrived--an unsophisticated horde. One by one they came straggling ing some with carpet-bags, some with green um- brellas. lt has been said that llritt even brought his band-box and canary bird alongg but if he did, it has long since been for- gotten. Freddy Harris, fresh from the mountains of Idaho, looked up a faro game as soon as he struck town. The Hrst man he met was Jarvis, from pXVest Virginia, and they immediately began to swap stories. After a vain endeavor to hold each other up, they mutually agreed to drown their differences in a glass of beer. NVakef1eld came all the way from Maine, and forgot to leave his down East accent at home. The Little German Band -Long, Kistler, Hartman, Zehner, NVertman and Schoff- stall-arrived bright and early, but left their bugles at home, much to our relief. Chic Kirschner donned his first long trousers just before he came, fearful that some one would think him still a boy. It might here be recorded that Chic has tried on several occasions to emulate Palmer's mustache, but has at last become resigned to the inevitable. Do you remember the first few days of our Freshman year, when we were trying to get acquainted with each other? For- tunately, this was easily accomplished, and on the eleventh of October, 1898, we held our first class meeting. WVerst was elected president, and Scott, having an honest face, was chosen chief scribe and keeper of the coin. From that day we were united, and together have gone, hand in hand, harmoniously through college. Being human, like other Freshmen, we were ever ready for war, and we were not long in stirring up our natural enemy, the Sophomores, who were a very accommodating class. Tenth street was the scene of the battle, and who will ever forget it! It was a glorious fight. Like the gallant Six Hundred at Bala- klava, we met our antagonists face to face. A foot ball scrim- mage would have been a calm affair compared to it. Que rush followed another. Hats, coats, collars and neckties flew in all directions. The trolley cars were blocked for squares. Spec- tators surrounded the battleground on all sides. The combat 142 grew fiercer and tiercer, when lo! a squad of policemen hove in sight-not one cop, but a dozen or more-bringing their am- bulance with them. Then there was a final rush-this time for the college hallway. Once safely inside, both friend and foe forgot their differences, and all joined heartily in singing sweet lullabies to the cops, who so inadvertently had spoiled our innocent afternoon's pastime. lt took us a month or more to become accustomed to the college curriculum, and it was really not until after the holidays that we fully realized the situation. XVithin the begrimed and dingy walls of the old dissecting room we labored earnestly at our anatomy. XVe are indebted to the upper classmen, who have gone before us, for their many words of timely advice which they so freely gave-teaching us the straight and nar- row pathway through which we endeavored to walk. The winter passed quickly by, and soon spring came in all its glory. Then how we worked! The stories of upper class- men wrought upon our imagination, until all were convinced they would surely fail. lflut the gods were propitious, and it was not long before we were separated for our summer vaca- tion-rejoicing that the year's work was ended. SO PHOMORE YEAR. The opening of the Sophomore year found us comfortably located in the new college building. And what a glorious change! The new laboratories, the splendid lecture and recita- tion rooms, the future prospects of the college which we love, inspired in us a steadfast determination to put forth our best efforts in our college work. The elevator, upon which we were never allowed to ride, and at which we gazed so admiringly as we wearily mounted the stairs, and the genial reception we re- ceived at the hands of the clerk, also added more or less to our enthusiasm. One hundred and sixty-eight men responded to roll-call, and we truly felt quite majestic when we realized we were no longer Freshmen. In this year we were introduced into the mysteries of pa- 143 thology, and learned that the C11Iv.r danmoszfs was only another name for the Jersey mosquito. Professor DaCosta gave us our initial degree in the Principles of Surgery, and many were the tribulations of those who sat on the first row. Our ideas upon surgery were various, and some were ludicrously original. The climax was reached, however, when Dinkelspiel announced his new theory of the auger-boring properties of leukocytes in pro- ducing an inflammation-much to the Professors exasperation. Shannon spent part of his vacation in the Blue Grass State. Wfe will not mention the attraction which caused his journey thither. XVould you believe it? He wore a plug hat, and even placed a few favorites at the races. It is also whispered that he braced himself for second year examinations by a liberal in- gestion of Sf?l'l'1'fl1S frlmzvufi. How about that, Shannon? Ber- nard Bertram VVormser, alias Barney, started into the loan business as soon as he returned. I-le loaned a friend five dollars, and they say he is still looking for the friend. Barney is the first to promulgate the theory that a milky opacity of the blood is produced by a milk leg. It was in the class i11 Hematology. A half a dozen fellows had missed the question, when Barney held up his hand, looked wise and quickly responded Milk leg. Then he sold out for thirty cents. Smithgall, becoming wearied of the infelicities of a bachelor life, took unto himself a better half, and since then has been growing balder every day. He is always happy, however, and his advice to all his classmates is- gvl married. The annual class election was held on the fourteenth of October, and resulted in the election of Ely, presidentg Lock- head, vice-president, and Tom Kelly, secretary and treasurer. The strain of the campaign being over, we settled down, entered our shell and remained quiet and peaceful until it became our duty to rebuke the obstreperous Freshmen. Who does not re- member the exciting day and night we guarded our colors flying over the college building? XVith true Freshman audacity, 1903 tried to float their colors upon the .college fiagstaff. XVe couldn't endure that and keep up a proper Sophomore dignity, so we T44 called a council of war, and decided upon immediate advance- ment upon the enemy. It took but a short time to swing I902 to the breeze, and there it stayed. For one wliole day and night we watched our colors, and, having held the fort for the re- quired time, in the morning took them down. Potter, Horning and fllryson served gallantly on the guard, and braved the ele- ments for twelve solid hours. Then the unexpected happened. The Freshmen, determined not to be outdone, put up another flag and cut the halyards. It was a diFHcult proposition then, but Lockhead solved it. XVith the true grit and nerve of steel of a man-o'-war tar he climbed the pole and replaced the 1903 Hag with IQO2 colors. The next day we held a funeral, and all that was mortal of 1903 was consigned to smoke and ashes. NVC then buried the hatchet for a year. The characteristics of many of the individual members of the class are interesting, and a few are accordingly recorded. Sam Doane has always worn a high-cut vest and a celluloid collar. Being an ardent lover of Piper Heidsieck, he has taken these precautions to preserve his shirt front and save a laundry bill. lngraham was the man who discovered that water was wet. As one of the satellites soaring a1'0und the center of attraction in the chemical laboratory, he has at last become a star, equaling in radiance that of Charley Keating, the man with a pull. Charley joined the class in the second year, and since then has been devoting his time in securing himself 'nextl' with the demonstrators. They will miss him next year, for he has long been a constant fixture at their right hand. His proficiency for getting nearest an operation is unexcelled, much to the aver- sion of Glasgow, who has never taken kindly to Charley's zealotry. Shimoon, our friend from the liar East, is a matri- monially inclined individual, but has manifested a peculiar dis- like for widows, at least this is so his bosom friend, Fitzpatrick, has informed us. If there are any widows present who are desirous of entering a harem, we advise them that it would be 'useless to apply. Louie Spitz has always been a genteel fel- low. His carefully groomed mustache has won for him many 145 female admirers. He does not draw the line on widows, con- sequently his case is an interesting one. Time passes quickly with the busy mind, and the year, which seemed so long to us as we looked forward to it, passed quickly by.- Soon we were up against the inevitable finale ex- aminations. XVith redoubled efforts we faced our fate, and one by one squeezed through the needle's eye. Hazlett. in his joy over getting through, went home. leaving a part of his ward- robe behind him. It was but a pair of trousers, but imagine the situation when he awoke to realize his loss. Therein hangs a tale. I The summer vacation was pleasantly passed. W'henever we could get a patient to submit to our treatment, we were eager to exhibit our meagre knowledge of medicine. The walks and talks with sweethearts are not matters of history. but it is need- less to say that many aliiliations were made, which will sooner or later become realities and, consequently, historical. JUNIOR YEAR. There were plenty of lively times during the Junior year. Now and then a rush to break the monotony, occasionally passing up some classmate for the amusement of all. Our natural proclivity for song manifested itself on many occasions. Especially did we give vent to our inspirations while waiting Professor' l1lare's arrival in the lecture room. The story of Lydia l'inkham appealed to our emotions, and has often been sung with true expression. Many has been the poor mortal we have hung to the sour apple tree while we went marching on. With this year came many specimens of the genus homo. George Hancock Nofer became tenth assistant demonstrator of Neisser's niicrobe and chief manipulator of the magic lantern. Sam .llcale also became proncient in the art of sterilizing 1 hilade1phia water, which he accomplished by baking and serv- ing ci In half-shell. The national .Presidential campaign being in full sway, gave llarrett many opportunities to advocate his ideas on free silver. As a stalwart supporter of the Bryan issues, he 146 had no equal. and he was ever ready for an argument. Since the defeat of his favorite candidate, he has taken more seriously to medicine. and has disavowed his intention of becoming a stump-speaker for the Mugwumps. During this year, Trainor, Ireland, Sam Bowman, Schaffner and Horner took turns in making weekly trips to a suburban town noted for its classical institution and attractive damsels. Ireland went along just for fun-I say this advisedly-but Bowman and Horner took mat- ters more seriously, and the situation became interesting. Bow- man, being of a poetical turn of mind, has described Horner's deportment thus: Little Earl Horner Sat in a corner, Making a goo gooi' eye. I-Ie gave her a plum, And called her Yum-yum,' And swore that for her he'd die. 1 XNe have yet to hear Horner's version of Bowman's suit. The class election was held in October, and resulted in the choice of lleardsley for president, Jarvis, vice-president, and Stewart, secretary and treasurer. For a time the daily rou- tine of college work passed without interruption, in fact, it was not until midwinter that we enjoyed any real excitement. Then, through some misunderstanding, the Sophomores took our seats in .Professor Chapman's lecture room. Their inten- tions may have been good, but they evidently forgot the pro- verbial rights of Juniors, and it took some diligent persuasion on our part to bring them to terms. It was a fierce combat, and will long be remembered by victors and vanquished. On our arrival in the class-room we found the Sopliomores firmly planted in the front rows. The course of action was immediately decided upon. It was a battle-royal. Patriotic Hill Davis sacrificed a coat sleeve for the good of the cause. Patton, to whom you will presently listen, could 11ot resist the poetic aspect 147 of the occasion, and immediately began to write his descriptive poem on The Way VVe Did 'Emf' Fiercer and tiercer the con- flict raged, and it was not until we had gained our coveted prize that peace was declared. Then Professor Chapman smoothed the troubled waters by telling a timely story, and all was well. What would you think of a man getting lost in Camden? NVhile parading the boulevards of that bustling burg, without a compass, Ben Bachrach lost his bearings. It is said he met the girl on Market street, but Ben has never explained himself satisfactorily. The Snyder twins-1C. P. and O. K.-will now perform. Their dispositions are not homogeneous, as you would naturally expect to find them-but their names are identical. C. P. is a rather nervousindividual, who objects strenuously to sitting on the sharp end of a tack, while O. K. is more calm and placid, takes life seriously and writes Chinese characters in his note- book. Kirkpatrick, the sleepy man from Dry Run. has estab- lished a record for letter-writing. The number of letters he has received from Spring Run has caused a kyphosis in the mail man on his route. The spring of affection from Spring Run will never run dry as long as the man from Dry Run continues to write to Spring Run. Coleman, from faraway Colorado, where microbes fear to tread, has suffered a peculiar disease since his advent to Philadelphia. They call it Caputophobia,l' Every night, in the wee small hours, he arises from his slumbers and proceeds to give his head a bath. If it were his pedal ex- tremities we could easily understand his actions, but we have given him up as a hopeless case. The closing days of the junior year were anxious ones, and it was with joyous hearts that we hailed the summer vaca- tion. The long rest proved very beneficial, and the fall found us fully recuperated and ready to enter the final year's work. SENI-on YEAR. Matters began to assume a more serious nature during the Senior year. During the process of evolution, several beards 148 made their appearance-Sheaf being among the first to show his capabilities in that line. Woodburn coaxed for awhile, but became discouraged after having tried several brands of hair restorer. Some of the members of the class began to show an inclination for specialties, among them being Davis, who be- came interested in a fair maiden who suffered from an itching palm. Several doctors had failed, so Bill thought he would try his skill. Salicylic acid paste did the work, much to William's gratification. Agnew became interested in Gynecology. He performed but one operation, and although the condition was an anomalous one, we understand it was eminently successful. VVebb, while out late one night on professional duties, fell in with two friends,' on Washington Square. Here he exchanged 68 cents for a considerable degree of infra-orbital eechymosis, which incapacitated him from social duties for a few days. He believes no longer in the axiom that a fair exchange is no robbery. Albertson's sporting propensity manifested itself on several occasions, but a French Ball proved his undoing. fl-le inveigled innocent Willie Horning into sharing the fun, and a great and glorious time they had. In the early morning they were heard coming down Tenth street, singing I won't be home till morning. The class election was held in the early fall. Sharp was chosen president, Dexter, the Georgia man with a deep bass voice, was made vice-president, with Wakefield, secretary, and Kirkpatrick, treasurer. It was about this time that Hull made his famous trip from Tioga. While- calling on a feminine friend, his sympathies were awakened by the necessities of parental vaccination. ln the goodness of his heart, he exhausted his exchequer to obtain the requisite virus, and was compelled to wearily wend his way homeward from that remote suburb. Hartzell, having become interested in the drawings in Professor Coplin's book, naturally became desirous of clasping the skillful hand which executed such magnificent work. He sent his card up by john, the janitor, and, like Romeo at the foot of the balcony, amorously awaited the return of his winged Mercury, T49 But alas! no message came. His ardent admiration was evi- dently unappreciated. Heineberg, being a naturally tired indi- vidual, indulged in a quiet repose on an adjoining bed while in a ward class one day. He might have been still locked in the arms of Morpheus, had it not been for the unceremonious awak- ening he received from Professor Davis. Wherry and Linton, two beardless youths, journeyed together on professional duties one day. Their juvenile physiognomies did not meet with the approval of their patient, and their good intentions were not ap- preciated. Dejectedly they returned homeward, sadder but wisenresolving to cultivate the acquaintance of the Seven Sisters and their hair tonic. Ely awoke to find greatness thrust upon him one night in Dr. Krusen's quiz. He was much amazed to find that his name formed the prefix to many operations and diseases of a gynecological nature. Can you wonder that he im- mediately invited the boys all out to have a pretzel each at his expense? Fox and Blackwood fell in love with each other dur- ing the Sophomore year. As no true love runs smooth, so it was in their case. The culmination was reached at holiday time, when Fox presented Blackwood with a pugilistic Christ- mas gift, which was quickly responded to by an ecchymotic Happy New Year. lt was about this time that Grimes demon- strated his method of watching street parades on a cold day. On New Year's morning he was seen standing on a small box. with a fair-haired maiden beside him, watching the shooters as they marched by. Of course, he had to hold her on. Good ex- cuse, Grimes, This story would not be complete without mention of the anomalies of the class-Gillett, Freeberg and Duhigg. They have organized a special society, which is open only to those who will consent to yield their vermiform appendix for the sake of science. McKinnie's tete-a-tete in Fairmount Park, or the mystery of the lost ring, and the pedestrian feat of Steele, who missed the 3 A. M. car while on one of his bi-weekly trips to XVest llhiladelphia, are also interesting events. If time permitted, many other stories might be added to this rapidly increasing volume, as Iky Sieber's love-making epi- 150 sodes, or the tribulations of Lacock, who was quarantined while on a Cupid's mission. Then there is Mundhenk, the lugubrious knocker, matching pennies with Sharpnack, tl1c sport with the checker-board clothesg or Burt, who plays all the penny-in-the-slot machines and taken ten private quizzes. Col- lins, getting tired of the benches, thought he would listen to .l rofessor Montgomery's lecture from the fire-escape one day: a few chilly breezes satisfied him however and since then he has always sat on the front row. For I-loon, Midgely and Maclay we can say they have always been good boys, keeping straight forward in the tenure of their ways. And now, ladies and gentlemen and fellow-classmates, this story must end. The successes or failures of the past are but matters of history. Our future lies before us. To-day we stand upon the threshold of the strenuous, practical life. To-day we must make the best of our opportunities. and as we endeavor to accomplish our mission in -life, may we ever be courageous, energetic and uprightg aiming to do our best to uphold the high standard of our professiong ever striving to sustain the high reputation, of our predecessors. And, in conclusion, fellow- classmates, let me bequeath to each of you this little thought: Look not niournfully into the past, it comes not back again. NVisely improve the present, it is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future without fear and with a manly heartf' - 2 in F . ,if Yi V 'jil ' il? f A E' 151 Class Poem By Gideon Harmer Patton . The Founders I. I will sing a song of honor To the glory of the founders, Wfho have graced the sacred mantle XVhich to-day is placed upon usp They were men, like gods in wisdomg ' Let us rule with grace as they did, VVC are sons from them descended, Let us bear this sacred honor NVith a holy awe within us As we walk, with metered footstepsg As we join the grand procession, lXlarching to the great hcreafterg There to join the throng immortal, VVhere the God in man is measured By the Judge, the great Eternal. II. Harken to the hallowed story, Thus I sing my song of honor: In the far-off unmarked ages Esculapius, the genius, NVith his skill and with his wisdom, I I52 Set the art we have in order, And became a great physician, Healing pain and human weakness, And departing, left behind him, In the hearts of pain-free fellows, XfVorship for the art of healing. Then Hippocrates, the mighty, As his first and great disciple, Son from him, the great, descended, Father of us all and greatest, Took the mantle of his father Esculapius, the famous, Adding to it many honors, Gracing it with fame undying, Till he moved the world to wonder At his miracles of healing, One of which is thus recorded In the records of the famous: Pericles, the mighty ruler, Envy of the gods and spirits, Lying ou his bed of anguish, Sick with pain and nearly conquered, Hearingiof the famed physician, Sent command to have him summoned Quick he hastened to the bedside, To attend the dying ruler, And amid the awe and silence Of the royal court attendants llrewcd his hellebore, and gave it, Then applied his Ilaxseed poultice, And through all the change of ages, Through the rise and fall of nations, Men in every zone and climate Still have faith in Haxseed poultice, And the world is doing honor To the merit of his treatment. 153 III. As I turn the sacred tablets- All the pages are illumined W'ith the great deeds there recorded And the great names writ upon them- I am filled with admirationg I am bound in speechless wonder, And I judge my tongue unfaithful XVlien my efforts fail to tell you How this wondrous story thrills meg Hut the story I must tell you, And the great ones I must mention And the things which they excelled in, Placing them among the founders. Great I-Ierophilus, the teacher, Famed for giving drugs and bleedingg VVise anatomist and surgeon. Galen, great of all the greatest In his detail of description, He has writ undying history. Celsus, skilled in methodism, Using only human physics, Relaxation and contraction, And sometimes the two combining. Then the great of ages later, I-Ialler, with his weird theory Of the human respiration, Made the wise and thoughtful marvel Harvey, skilled in human physics, To the doubtful demonstrated That the blood was circulated. Then Asceli proved the uses Of the whole lymphatic system, And the mysteries of ages Read as clear as open pages. T54 Jenner balked the scourge of Europe XVhen he took the cow-pox virus From the far-famed dairy maiden And inoculated Phillips, i Immunizing him from small-pox, Thus he took the deadly terror From the devil of all nations By the means of vaccination. Sydenham, the great clinician, Careful in his observation, Saw within the human body Forces of rccuperation, And the bark of white cinchona Cured the world of ague shivers. IV. Time has scarcely dimmed the faces, And there's but a generation Separates us from the famous Abernethy, Mott and Hosack, And the great Sir Astley Cooper, And Romeyn, and Bright, and Crisco And the bloody fields, of battle In Americas Rebellion VVelcon1ed Mercer, Rush and VVarre How the monuments of Greenwood, Laurel Hill and. still Mount Auburn Tell in never-dying accents Something of the thrilling story Of the heroes who stood Fighting Pestilence in Southern cities, Until, staggering in their sickness, ' They fell dead across the corpses And were numbered with their fellow Stricken with them, dying with 'thcmg Not for gain or selfish glory, 1 155 n, 11 S J But as fellow-men to fellows. This has ever been the spirit And the chaste and lofty ethics Of the true ideal physician. He has been beside his fellows VVhere the march of troops has thundered In the thick of every battle, VVhen the skies were wild and bloodshot, When the air was hot with passion, VVheu the boom of gun and cannon Screamed aloud its bloody mission. He has held his life as nothing In the service of his fellows, And his lifeless bones are scattered On the stretch of boundless prairies, On the parched and lifeless desert, In the tangled torrid forests, On the frozen Northland glaciers, Wliere the rolling sea is deepestg On the top of highest mountainsg' Mornings sun is always rising Wliere his lifeless bones are bleaching. Like a wall he stands between us And the plague of yellow fever And the Asiatic cholera. He has rendered priceless service For the public and its comfort By successful institution Of the quarantining station, Fumigation, ventilation, Sewage, drainage and filtration. He has made of soap a classic By persistent advocation Of the use of soap and water: And when death and plague did ravage I-Ie has righteously insisted: 156 Clean your streets and scrub your bodiesg Clean your streets, or, notwithstanding All your prayers and all your fasting, Plague will ravage, death will take youg NVhen you're clean, ask God to help you He has conquered superstitiong He has calmed the wild fanaticg He has checked the fool extremist, And has taught the world the lesson By his autocratic powerg That the rite of priest and Bishop Must be done in antisepsis And be washed in soap and water To be worthy of acceptance.

Now, my classmates and my fellows- Ere the rites of your adoption Shall be read, and shall decree you Members of this deathless order, llound by flesh and blood and honor- I must say my farewell to you. From to-day we must be parted, Separated from each otherg Each to carve out his own pathway, Each to take up his own burden. After years 1nay bring you sorrow Or, perhaps, great joy surround you, Fame or great success shall crown youg But whatever is your portion, XVhether it be joy or sorrow, 157 You can cast your glances backward, And your mind will be more tranquil And your recollections soothe you. WVhen you think of this glad moment VVhen your dear old Alma Mater Called you son, and smiled upon you, And in tender accents pleaded: Sons, be loyal to the highest And the noblest thoughts within you, Ye are sons of mine, rememberg Never do an act unworthy Of the royal blood withiu you. VII. Ah, it seems some time, my classmates, Since l've seen you all together. Tell me, what is this occasion, That has brought you all together? But my hand, it seems so feeble, And my eyes can scarcely see you. Give the patient this prescription. Is that you, my wife, my daughter? XVho are these in caps and aprons, XValking 'round with mutlled footsteps? And they only speak in whispers. Good-bye, wife, and son, and daughterg As I grasp your hands more feebly. All the scenes of life are fadingg And the veil that hides the future Melts away like mists of morningg Forms and faces rise before me In majestic panorama, And the great Eternal Council Rise to meet me as I enter, And I'm standing in the presence Of the spirits of the founders. 158 Prophecy of the Class of 1902, Jefferson Medical College By Clarence Francis Ely A V HARKEN unto our words, O ye friends, mothers, 1, 7' W ,u sisters and sweethearts, the while we deseant 5, i s 'Zi' upon the unstability of human life, and strive '- to penetrate the mysteries of an uncertain ' 7 O K I future. For it has come to pass that the Class 1- of l9o2, M. C., is by no means an ordinary 7 one. Not only is it famous for its learning and deeds of valor, but it contains the -greatest assortment of living' curiosities that were ever hunched together, more of which you will learn anon. llut to our tale. On the evening of December 31st, IQOI, as the sun was setting' in the west, and innumerable resolutions were in the process of formation, the man-servant of one R. Gasslein did appear before us, bearing an invitation to partake of a small collation, and incidentally, to welcome the incoming' year, which, fresh from the store-house of eternity, was to be an epoch in the lives of so many of the estimable gentlemen present to-day. The invitation was accepted, and that night will be long cher- ished in our memory. Many erudite topics were discussed as we dined sumptuously on various imported delicacies, which. though light in name, lie heavy in the stomach, and imbibed with that moderation for which the disciples of Jeff, are l1OtCCl, of what the conductor puts in the exchange tickets. 159 The repast being despatched, we parted, and the prophet proceeded to his home. It was possibly because the best of spirits were in me that I was in the best of spirits, but, despite my exuberance, I experienced an epigastric sensation that boded me no good. Thinking that, perhaps, my fancy was exagge- rated, I retired. Some time during the night I was rudely awakened by a sensation, as though some one were trying to separate me from myself at the twelfth dorsal vertebra. Leaping out of bed, under a sense of impending dissolution, I quickly sought my medicine chest. Opening its doors with alacrity, I took down what I thought was a bottle of D1'. I-Iare's celebrated anti-colic remedy, and at once separated a portion of it from the vial. It acted like magic. My distress vanished, and with a prayer of thanks on my lips I once more sought my couch, but though the pain had disappeared, there lingered a peculiar taste in my mouth, and a novel feeling that I had never before known, swept over me. Countless days seemed to have elapsed since I had retired, and while one-half of my cerebral cortex went back into the now deserted banquet hall, the other was figuring out the differential diagnosis between endocarditis and endometritis. In this mental confusion it occurred to me that, owing to the darkness, I might have taken the wrong medicine. Hurrying to the cabinet to examine the bottle, I was horror- struck to find it labeled poison, while beneath that comforting word was the inscription Cannabis Indica. For a moment I was dumbfounded. My first impulse was to send for Professor I-Iare, but remembering his oft-repeated story of the student and the Cannabis Indica bottle, I resolved to die rather than to incur his displeasure, so near the examinations, by arousing him from his slumbers. Thus determined, I essayed to treat myself, but before I could carry out my intentions, the walls of the room receded from me into an inlinitude of space, in which the world was swallowed up, and I knew no more. From this oblivion I was recalled by a gentle voice, and on opening my eyes was dazzled by the gorgeous splendor that surrounded me. A deli- cate perfume permeated the air of what seemed to be a cave, 160 hewn from solid rock crystal, whose glistening particles refiected a roseate light that bathed everything in its soft glow. As my eyes became accustomed to 1ny strange surround- ings, I perceived the iigure of a beautiful woman, seated at a loom in the center of the apartment, and as the lay moved back and forth, her voice rose in song. It was this that had awakened me. Lost in admiration at the scene, I inadvertently made a move that aroused her. Leaving the loom, she approached my side, with eyes distended wide in wonder. Summoning my cour- age I asked my new-found friend where I was, and hinted that I should be delighted if she would disclose her identity. In response, she told me that I was upon the planet Venus, the inhabitants of which are all women. Her name, she said, was Atropos. She was one of the Fates, her duty being to weave the destinies of men upon her loom. Stung with the in- sp-iration of a sudden thought, I saw what a golden opportunity was here presented to me for gathering material with which to discharge my office of class prophet. NVith bearing suited to her exalted station, I made bold to reveal the honor so recently bestowed upon me by 1ny classmates, and craved her aid. Most graciously did she vouchsafe her assistance, and while a waver- ing harmony filled all the corners of the place, she resumed her seat at the loom and began to weave, and thus did I obtain the gist of what I now am about to unfold to you. PROPIIECY. Verily, in all the days ofthe world there never was such an aggregation of great minds, of extraordinary ability, as this class presents. Mother Earth is indeed to be congratulated at having such greatness thrust upon her. Take, for example, such members as Sharpe, Brown and Kane. XVho, upon gazing at their ruddy countenances and sorrel tops, can refrain from realizing that these great men, these heads, will become leading lights in their profession? And it will come to pass: that a certain band of pilgrims, J. C.'Burt, R. G. Carlin, A. VV. XVoodburn by name, who did 161 dwell over against the University of l'ennsylvania, and being too goodly for such uncleanly suroundings and corruption, did fold their tents and come into our camp, where they were saved, will receive their sheepskins and be glad. Yea, verily, strange as it may seem, they will enter upon the practice of their pro- fession. lle it known that Cecil C. Jarvis, a Southern gentleman, familiarly called jerry-why, we have never been able to ascer- tain, unless it be because of his fondness for a certain concoc- tion-and F. L. Webb, his beloved commander-in-chief, becom- ing tired of the game of politics, will some day take upon them- selves the duties of their profession, and then, and not till then, will they achieve success. Know ye, friends, that one Milton Ellsworth Hartman, the living example of the overwhelming superiority of I-'hiladelphia's boarding-house keepers, is also a member of this class? Know ye still further, that he has refused several tempting offers from enterprising advertising agencies for his photograph, to be used in connection with a before-using ad of an anti-fat remedy? Can ye conceive of greater devotion to science than thatg and is it not but fair that he should receive the obstetrical prize in recognition of his integrity? The realization of the sublime and the beautiful is impos- sible to those who have not heard Edward Wilsoii Barrett, com- monly known as Grandma, rise up in his might and, in sten- torian accents, recite The Charcoal Burner. This brilliant eloeutionist has several thrilling pieces in his repertoire, such as Curfew Shall not Ring To-night, Roderick MacDuff's Ora- tion on the Death of a Mosquito, etc. Always a student and a teacher, Ed. VVilson will become a professor of Greek My- thology in an idiot asylum. I Speaking of elocutionists, perhaps a word here regarding Louis Spitz will not come amiss. A man of poetic temperament and no mean histrionic ability, he has discarded all for his chosen profession. Louis will become a great surgeon, if pres- ent training and early skill count for anything. At present he 162 holds the kidney extracting record among the ,l'hilade1phia butchers. Now a certain Robert Crawford Scott, of High-school fame, providing he cuts from his daily routine the seductive department stores, will certainly attain the height of his ambi- tion. 1-le will become resident physician in a young ladies' seminary. The belle of the class is Chas. E. G. Shannon. Words are inadequate to describe his beauty. The girls say that he is simply charming. Charlie is also something of a cornetist, and occasionally lapses into verse. Among the many good things produced by his prolific pen may be mentioned An Ode to a Frozen Gum Boil, Pawn Ticket No. IIOQ or, The Dutch Baby's Revenge. But a word to the wise is sufficient, Charlie. The next time you make a flying trip to Kentucky leave your cornet at home, and be careful not to laugh. If you do, she'll queer you, sure. . F. T. Harris hails from the wild and woolly West. VVhen he landed in town, the first thing he did was to obtain a permit to carry a revolver, solemnly averring to his friends that he couldn't be easy without his trusty Colt in his hip-pocket. Fred is a stickler for Western etiquette. They do say that he wears a lasso in lieu of suspenders. Always a good fellow, Fred will get his hair cut after examination and proceed to practice. Max R. Dinklespiel is without a doubt the hardest worker in the class, and probably one of the most talented. Among his many attainments may be mentioned those of linguist, ophthal- mologist, mathematician, obstetrician, athlete and orator. Max is a shining example of the strenuous life. When he graduates, in order to complete his education he will take a course in tactology. N Norman lleard Noll is the practical joker of the class, his specialty is writing anonymous notes. If any one has observed N. B., they will agree with the prophet that he can cause more confusion in one hour than any six other men. He may oc- casionally secure a patient, or better still, the patient may con- 163 4 l i l l a l I i P i trive to escape the awful combination of disease and doctor, but, at any rate, note-writing will be NOYl11311,S long suit. Benj. J. Bacharach, a genial descendant of Abraham, will next occupy our attention. He is always partial to the ladies, his chief attractions being a bland smile and a fat purse. We predict that, on obtaining his sheepskin, Ben will wend his way Wiiicly City-ward, and proceed to get the ducats. Then there is Geo. Noferg his best girl calls him Georgie, Sober and pretty is Georgie at all times except when he is being quizzed, when his face looks like a case of scarlet fever on the fourth day. Georgie, you can order your little suit of white ducks, and don't forget to have jefferson on the collar. Harry E. Kirchner, erstwhile called Cliick,', is one of our brainiest men. Taking into consideration his years and experi- ence, the amount of work which he has accomplished, and the ability he has shown for absorbing knowledge are simply wonderful. A. lf. Munch, sometimes known as Mrs. Evans, because of the love and affection he used to evince for a certain gentleman of that name, is a side partner of our friend Kirchner. He is a most loquacious gentleman. So fast do the words Hy from his mouth that his case was at Hrst diagnosed as acute mania. llut on looking him up, and finding the family history good, we have concluded that he is laboring under a fit of temporary mental aberration, the result of hard study, and predict a good recovery. Strange, indeed, would it seem did not our class possess a genius of rare ability. We refer to H. VV. Salus, the leader of the band. Should llarry contrive to escape the awful combina- tion of disease from which he is suffering C1 am told the last diagnosis was cerebro-spinal meningitis and hypertrophic cir- rhosis of the liverj, he will return to his home and get busy, and incidentally the life insurance agents covering that territory will be forced to raise their rates fifty per cent. Wiii. lfVondo Fitzpatrick hails from the Lone Star State. His specialty is chewing plug tobacco and telling impossible yarns. Always to be found in the front ranks of progress, 164 Williaiii will become an authority on the great value of hot air and hydrogen gas in medical therapeutics, having had extensive experience along these lines. P. H. Moore is undoubtedly the most popular man in the class. Of unassuming manner and sterling character, he is cer- tainly a combination of the best and noblest qualities prone to man. To know him is to admire him. If Moore docsn't make jefferson Hospital, we are going out of the prophecy business. Now, verily, in all the days of pharmacy there never was a greater galaxy of beauties gathered together than these. We refer to Ci. XY. Lincoln, G. H. Atkins, F. P. Kirby, A. Heineberg and R. il. Gasslein. This group of forlorn pill-wrestlers have for- saken the mortar and pestle, have discarded the delights of sell- ing postage stamps and Dr. Killem's Ready Rhinitis Reliever for the science of medicine. lf a thorough foundation has any prognostic value, these gentlemen will become towers of strength in their profession. Vile feel safe in predicting that Gillett, Tinney and Duhwig will never again suffer from appendicitis. For since their seance with l.'rofessor DaCosta, in the P. O. R., their immunity against that disease is assured. A word of advice here to our friend Harry Lochhead. In view of the fact, Harry, that there are several things you don't know abo-ut physical diagnosis, you had better defer practicing among maidens of a questionable age, for a time at least, as they do not show well-marked objec- tive symptoms and might puzzle you. ,It does not require the tongue of a prophet to predict that the Hobson-like countenances and osculatory tendencies of XVm. F. Cope and Ed. Pechin will secure for them a lucrative practice among the fair sex. Say, Billy, if you think the boys were not on to those frequent flying trips to Easton, you have several thinks coming. Ralph XV. Stewart hails from Ohio, sports a big black mustache Qthe pride of his lifej, and knows a thing or two about medicine. llut it'is not of these things we would speak, ah no. 165 It is Ralph's kindness of heart, which has so endeared him to his friends. One bitter cold night, last fall, while returning from a call uptown, Ralph, having missed a night car, was compelled to walk. XVhile strolling down Tenth street, he espied, on the corner of a cross-street, what he took to be the prostrate figure of a man. Un approaching closer he was appalled to find his surmise was correct, there, at his feet, lay an Indian, stiff and cold. Touched with compassion, and whispering a word of en- couragement to the poor unfortunate, Ralph sturdily shoul- dered him, and essayed to carry him to his room, that he might receive warmth and shelter. But it was not to be. He had hardly journeyed two squares before he was stopped by a guardian of the peace, who demanded to know where he was going with that there 'wooden' Indianf' Ralph tried to explain that he was a physician and, having discovered a frozen man, it was his duty to try and resuscitate him. But it was of no availg the policeman would not listen. He was forced to retrace his steps and deposit his burden where he found it. Luckily for Ralph, two of his friends hap- pened along just about that time. Between the three they man- aged to fix things up with the officer and continued on their journey. ln view of this and other incidents, we accordingly hold forth that Ralph will always be the compassionate, kind- hearted physician. It seems like a cruel jest to ask Bowman and Coleman any- thing about hydrotherapy, but they should certainly become authorities on the Brandt system of cold bathing. VVe wish to sound a note of warning to Gille, Sharpnack, Poole and Freeberg, whose Darwinian connections seem evi- denced by the luxuriant growths on their physiognomies. How they ever escaped Professor Cl1apman's scalpel is a mysteryg but they should not, however, tempt the fates too often. By carefully excluding all zoological gardens from their itineraries, they may contrive to pass a useful existence. 166 B. D. Byce and Herbert Cooper, the big man and the little man. 'lfhese gentlemen are certainly destined to illustrate the ups and downs of the medical profession. Should they, in the near future, grow weary of waiting for patients, it need not worry them. The Juniper Tarn people have had their eyes on them for a long while, and unlimited employment is at their disposal. One day last December, an observer looking into the win- dow of Ur. Yeasey's sumptuous fourth story back quiz room, might have seen a band of future ophthalmologists, who, after having carefully disinfected themselves in the hallway, as was the custom at the doctor's, had assembled there. The following conversation took place between Dr. Veasey and several of his students: Dr. V., to .Keating-Doctor, what is the most malignant tumor of the eye? , Keating twith characteristic brilliancyl-Glaucoma, Doctor This remark struck llarney VVormser so funny that he promptly fell off his seat. This attracted the doctor's attention to him. Dr. V.-NVell, XVormser, how would you treat acute glau- coma? W'ormser-I'd order large tablespoonful doses of aconite and i'odine, and long bicycle rides. Now it seems useless to strain the mind trying to prophesy for these gentlemen. r Sam Ewing will start a sanitarium at Malaria, N. J. The institution, we understand, is to be situated on a bluff. There Sam, aided by Isaac Seeber, will put into practice his celebrated original theory of the rest cure. Wfith a knowledge lJOI'l'l of four years' experience, these gentlemen should certainly make things hustle at Malaria. Geo. Price Hill will, we are sorry to say, relinquish the practice of medicine to engage in horse-trading. After all, we are not sure but that George is wise, for he certainly has at present a most excellent collection of horses in miniature. 167 R. li. I-lartzell is president of the VVi1son Society, and hails from the coal mines, that is, the City of Mines. He will become resident physician at the German Hospital, and will do well, whether he wants to or not, for he will have greatness thrust upon him. We are forced to predict the utter ruin and dissolution of Josef Shimoon, unless he stops his terrible dissipation. NVould you believe it, we saw him at the theater, recently, and to see lien Hur at that? Such earryings-on are most lamentable, and we trust that Josef will call a halt in his mad career. In keeping with the present time, some of the men will inevitably drift into specialism. flilackwood and Drick will undoubtedly become authorities on alopeeia, and as necessity is the mother of invention, it is but fair to presume that a 1110St efficacious Hhair restorer will be the ultimate result of their investigations. R. B. Hollings- worth may be consulted later as an expert dermatologist, hav- ing in the last four years made that field the scene of his most earnest endeavor. tThink it over, l.lobby.D To those who have sat in the vicinity of E. M. Hazlett dur- ing Professor Kyle's clinics, the prediction that he will gain fame as a laryngologist certainly seems probable. Indeed, Dr. Kyle had better look to his laurels, as the mnnerous exceptions which our friend E. M. has taken to his teaching lead us to be- lieve that he has his eyes on the chair. Jos. Allan MacLay, of ljaterson, N. I., realizing that, in order to be thoroughly successful, the student of medicine should enter the field of experimental research, will make his native town the scene of his endeavor. NVe envy Mac, the op- portunities he will have among the disciples of Emma Goldman, and heartily agree with him that the only good Anarchist is a dead one. Others there are-whose individual futurity had better remain a mystical nonentity. lest in their divulgence the prophetic lips become parched with words of eloquence at best inadequate to do them justice. Those whose genius has 168 not yet been indicated by any outbursts of ability, in whom the fires of greatness are as yet smouldering. These things I write unto you, O ye of little minds, thatye may not Hunk. Be ye always studious that ye may not fail, and in no wise receive the condemnation of your professors. Go ye not abroad at night, for evil men and the genus anopheles loves darkness rather than night for infamous deeds. Let the adventure of'your'kinsman, Fred Xklebb, be a warning to ye. Keep yourselves away from the hosts of the Philistines at Eighth and Vine streets! Use ye neither strong normixed drinks, nor Nicotiana Tabacum, that thy days may be prolonged and the seven stages of digestion unimpaired. Consider the Alumni, how they toil: they spoil not, neither do they advertise that they might get richg yet sayeth I unto ye, that Solomon, in all his glory, was not arrayed like one of these. But let us lay aside idle pleasantries, and gaze for a moment upon life's future, whose ruffled bosom is Hecked by strips of unlimited possibilities, buoyed up by waters of former achieve- ments. Fellow-elassmen, we go forth together, but each man must assume his own responsibilities. There will come a day of trial to every one of usg temptation has a music for all 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 will all, I trust, survive the test. The plan of a lifetime is a graduated scale, and deeper than the vanity 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 will make you mighty among men. 169 Class Presentation By Wm. Wondo Fitzpatrick, B.S. LADIES, G1sN'rr.mnaN ,xxp My lfm.1.ow-cr..xssMArias1- It has befallen my lot to write a few biographies, and to present to as many as time will permit some little token that may in after years recall fond remembrances and happy days spent at dear old jefferson., It may at times appear that I am getting' rather personal and have a tendency to roast, but I assure you that what you shall hear and see taking' place is by no means intended as a reflection upon character, nor in any way meant to cast insinuations. Some of my classmates have concealed so carefully their little idiosyncrasies that I have failed in my attempt to catch the slightest glimpse of them. Others have strewn things in my pathway which I have stooped to gather in-some of which I shall presently show you. About others I have manufactured a lot of rag-time which, if it does not do justice, will do no harm. You may readily recognize the difficulty of my task in collecting material when It tell you that most all of us are active Y. M. C. A. members, and while, if the remaining few have walked upon piano keys with muddy shoes, or stood lecturing to lamp- posts in the early morn, no one has dared tell the tale. There is no use denying the fact that this is a great bunchg long, short, fat and lean. Individuals with a past, some with a future, and nearly all the bunch with a present, Some are married and others would be, were it possible. There is Spitz, who intends going out on one of the Indian Reservations, 170 marrying a squaw, getting a grant of land from the government and go to raising gourds. Ifreeberg is also somewhat matrimonially inclined. The only trouble with him is that he wants to get married to everything he sees, from a hypodermic syringe to a case of mumps. There are many other curios on my list, some of which I shall exhibit to you presently. Well, boys, I have a lot o-f things here, some imported from China, and some from South street. There are picture books, a bottle of brandy for medicinal purposes-that is correct. Kane, smack your lips-I have a temperance badge here for you- dry goods and household furniture. I am afraid I cannot give you each a present, something I regret very much. My time is limited, and I must catch a train in a short time, which I was told would not wait for me. In concluding this little introduction, let me once again ask each and all to take my utterances with a lot of salt, and good-naturedly, as it is intended they should be taken. The first individual who will please come forward is Mr. Joseph Shimoon. Shame to spring you so soon, I know, joseph, but I thought perhaps you had a few notes in your pocket for me that needed prompt delivery. It would take me an hour to tell you all about our friend from the Orient. He is famous for his veracity, pugnacity and capacity. Before commencing the study of medicine he was vice-president of a pickle trust, a manufacturer of Bum- tguclgeonsn and the Chief Ausgekickt to His Royal Highness the Oola Oola of Persia. He is both eccentric and concentric- a regular. rip-roaring whiskered magician from the land of rugs and antique furniture. That mustache, you notice, is a first-class misplaced eyebrow, coaxed out by careful nursing, and trans- planted by plastic surgery for professional cosmetics. VVhen he first landed in this country he thought the Ameri- can people the most honest on earth. It is told that he was burdened with a small trunk. Growing weary of rubibering at high buildings in New York, he deposited his burden at a lunch 17: counter and started for the Bowery. Much to his surprise he found his bundle awaiting his return untouched-perhaps he did not know that we in this country have a way of sizing things up before investing. It is needless to add that his views have since changed. Lately he was persuaded into buying a gold brick and an interest in an undug Rhode Island gold mine. Shimoon, I have three flags here for you: one, the emblem of the greatest nation on earthy one of your Alma Mater, and one the sigma of your own land, the place where the sun first shone upon your brunette top. Place them in your home side by side, and as they catch your eye, think of old times. The next phenomena of interest, which you no doubt noticed displayed on the bill-boards as you came in, I shall now exhibit to you. Will I-Iarry Freeberg and Herbert Cooper stop eating peanuts, and come forward? Now make your bow while It introduce you. These two, good people, were captured on the banks of the Congo river, and with a load of cocoanuts shipped to this country. They are known as Sleepy Pete and Monopoly Jim. Pete possesses the peculiar power of hibernat- ing the year around, and living on bottled air and filtered sun- shine. He is quite docile, and will not bite unless pinched. He has of late developed a taste for sporty dry goods, a sample of which I here exhibit. By his side you see standing Monopoly Jim. I mentioned him before as the one who wants to marry everything he sees. His motto is, I am the only thing in the bunch, so all the rest of you please retire to the rear. He never wears suspenders, and can button his collar to his seventh cervical vertebra behind and his Adams apple in front. And what a beautiful voice he possesses--one of those sonorous bullfroig kind, sounding like a bar of soap being rubbed over a wash-board. If the audience will kindly stop- their ears, I will have him sing. Here, Cooper, take this hinge and go get a gait on. Follow him, Freeberg, with this beautiful ballad entitled NGO away back and sit down. VVhen the orchestra starts you may sing. 172 We have in our class a fellow who hails from a State where the Indians scalp the paleface, where the wo-lf still sings his mournful wail, and upon whose sun-scorched plains the bleach- ing bones of the weary may be found. Harris, alias Broncho Bill, if you will kindly hand your six-shooters over to the class committee and lemonade up this way, I will see what I can do for you. Ladies and Gentlemen, allow me--that is proper, Broncho, bend your hinges. You see before you this native of the wild and woolly XVest, a gentleman of daring feats and noted courage. He is a dead shot, can stand on his head and spit in his vest-pocket, and holds the record for roping a steer and tying it up in the short space of thirty seconds. He was for- merly a member of the famous Kickapoo Indian Sagwaw Med- icine Company, for which he sold shoe blacking for stove polish. He is all the way from Idaho, and made the journey on Shank's pony in six weeksg says he can beat this when the cactus plants and sand storms are not so numerous. He is a typical West- erner spelled with a whoop. Notice his jewelry-a ring in his nose and a spur on his boot. Now, Harris, if you will give us one of those hoop-y doggie yells I shall let you go. I-Iere, take. this butcher knife with you, and the first white deer you :kill send me the madstone. I got bit by one of Rhinny's goose- ology jokes, and I may need it. I shall now present to you our friend, Mr. Spitz. Come forward, Louis, and greet the orchestra. You have a short name, but you are a Longfellow, aren't you? He is quite a genius, good people. In 1876 he edited the Missouri Mustard Plaster and owned the controlling interest in a bulldog. The following year he filled the p-osition as society editor on the Arkansas Blister, and pulled feathers out of Indian heads on one-cent pieces. Later he organized a shoestring trust, which failed for wantof capitalg since which time he has drifted into the elocution business and absolutely refuses to move. Longfellow's 'fEvangeline is his long suit. He can tell you all about Gabriel in one breath, and whistle I wonder if they're waiting through his nose at the same time. I might here men- T73 tion that he poses as quite an expert with a pair of scissors. Ile tried to cut a lad's hair once in the dark, and instead cut his head. Spitz, I do not believe in working in the dark. Take this lantern l have for you, and feel your way carefully next time. That will do. Now say, Thank you-that is right. Button your coat, so as to hide your sweater, and come for- ward, lglice. Put your toes together, and see if you can touch the tip of your nose with your eyes shut. It is a good thing that the laundries do not have to depend on your kind, is it not? They would soon become financially embarrassed, WOl1lil11't they? Where is your sweater? I was under the impression you had it on. He shows a peculiar fondness for this garment, and a peculiar dislike to a shirt. Bice, 1 spent about four hours inspecting the gent's furnishing departments on South street, and finally selected this for you. I know you will say I am tasty. When you call on Liz this evening, why, put it on and sur- prise her. W The next pair I have to show you will demonstrate the absolute failure of hydrogen-peroxide as a bleach. Will our two sorrel-top strawberry blondes, in the persons of Kane and Brown, come up and let the audience have a peep? Now, if you will just remember to pull your nose, pinch your ear and cross your Hngers the first time you see a white horse, any wish you may make will be sure to come true. Now, Kane, quit cying that bottle of Sour Hitters or I will not give it to you. Did I hear you ask me whether or not I had a bottle for you, Brown? No, but I have made arrangements for you to be allowed two hours behind a bar. This suits you better, I know. Like all people who are not brunettes, these two are de- cidedly spiritually incliued-do not misinterpret my meaning. Brown remarked to me not long ago, confidentially, that he and Kane had decided beer could be manufactured faster than they could drink it. Both of them once held good positions in a brewery, employed as chief hoppersf' but were discharged on account of their internal revenue. Fellows, I have a couple 174 of quarts of XXXX for you, to be used for medicinal purposes only. lie careful. Do not spill it on your clothes, or let Barrett see you with it. I-le swore off yesterday. Wfell, big, distinguished-looking Charley Keating, honor me by coming up and standing by my side. Thank you, Charles. Now throw out your chest. ls that what you call your chest? VVell, you have just about swallowed your liver. You have all heard about individuals being born lucky, but did you ever hear about any one so fortunate as to be absolutely irresistible to the ladies? I have actually seen this lad followed on the street by a member of the fair sex. but afterward learned that it was his landlady, who was afraid he was going to take a train rather hurriedly, and leave behind him, as security, a trunk full of bricks. There is no use in denying the fact, he is one in 1nany- a perfect cucumber, whose warts have been filed off and thc cucumber pickled in sugared water. His eyes are of a beautiful pea-green hue-his hose generally match them. Smile for them, Charley. Now, wouldn't that force you, even against your wishes, to buy a War Cry? Cholly', is his name, but he much prefers being called Doctor. Keating, I have a mirror and a pair of curling-irons here for you. There are some I believe in giving useful things to, and I feel sure that these articles of toilet will find a place upon your dresser. 4We shall now have the pleasure of viewing what P. T. Barnum would have charged you in his circus for seeing the price of fifty cents. Step forward, gentlemen of the funnel gang, and keep a stiff upper lip while the orchestra plays Was ist, was ist? By the funnel gang I mean the following Irish: Zehner, Pelouze, Kistler and C. P. Snyder. How is this for a poker hand? Two jacks and a pair of discards. Here, Zehner, take this pretzel and chew on it until I get the camera ready. Pelouze, you hold on to this piece of sausage, it was once upon a time Snyder's hund--but donit you care-it will not bark any more. Kistler, I am going to tickle you by giving you the T75 funnel. VVhen I say ready, stick it in your mouth and look up. Be quiet, I shall not let the keg fall. Do not try to talk and swallow at the same time, you are apt to break a spoke. Snyder, you seem to be getting anxious-well, you need a little introduc- tion. Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to present to you Mr. C. P. Snyder, otherwise known as chemically pure. Filtration has corrected this misnomer and proved a dilution with beer. Now, Snyder, I want you to pull off your shoes and show the audience how you can step on your ear without sneezing- a little louder, please. Oh, I see. He asks to be excused, says this is the first stage he has been on since he drove one from I-Ioney Grove to Blossom Prairie. Captain -links McClay of the Hop Trust, will you come up and drill this company back to the barracks? Give Pelouze a lift with his keg. Good-bye, gentlemen-come again. The next name I notice on my list is that of Trainor, the gentleman from the State where watermelons are used for fish- ing corks, and where mosquitoes carry lanterns. Charley, mean- der up this way, and give us one of those Mississippi smiles while I tell the people a little about you. I-Iis name alone is suggestive of his hobby. He can train anything, from a duck to a morning-glory vine. Under his skillful tutorship grasshoppers stop expectorating tobacco juice, and hoot-owls are taught to sing. I-le owns an Irish setter that can be fondled by a German, and a beehive that can be sat upon with impunity. VVhen he raises his magic hand over the back of a duck it will no longer go about water. I'Ie has been trying for the last six months to train Ireland to be good, but frankly admits it to be the most difficult task he has yet undertaken. I could tell you more about this phenomenal lad from the double-lettered State, but time will not permit. Here, Charley, take these side-combs and see if you cannot train your hair to stop making love to your eyelashes. . But to pass from the ridiculous to the sublime, and to show you a study in art, the like of which you may never see again, will the following gentlemen please come forward: Beale, 176 Ilachrach, Jarvis and Grimes. Standing before you, like the Spartans of old, you see the original and only members of the I-Iooten Nanny Club. an association devoted to promoting the interests of industrious young men in the way of free beer, free lunch and no work, lts motto is Quill ost Hur, and its pass- word Gomph. I was once offered a membership in this society, but the initiation curriculum was more than I could stand. Mr. Beale. its honored president, is the only individual who has suc- cessfully passed through its ordeal without afterwards having to spend a few days in a hospital. The fat, bottle-shaped lad you see answers to the name of llachrach. I-Ie presided for a long time over the growler, but was forced to resign on account of cirrhosis of the liver, brought on by over-anxiety. I-Ie is to be congratulated, however, on the strong bond of friendship he has succeeded in cultivating with a number of breweries. The individual you see with the show windows on his -pro- boscis gets his mail addressed as, Jarvis. He hails from Xkfest Virginia, the State whose oil wells have all migrated to Texas. He is the bank of the society. holding the dews generally mist in the mornings. I-Ie foots all the bills involved by the club. and occasionally sees to it that they all get front seats at the Lyceum. It is rumored that Mr. Grimes, its secretary, will soon re- sign his offiee and seek new pastures. A report is circulated that while fishing he got a bite and discovered it to be a mer- 1naid. For further information see the Police Gazette. - Gentlemen, allow me to present 'you each with this little gift, as a token, of the 'profound admiration we all have for the fundamental principles embraced within your 'fconstitutionf' especially the clause which reads: Free beer, free lunch and no work. There is one man in the crowd that, I am sure, is be- ginning to think I have forgotten him. No, I haven't, Barrett, and if you will strut up this way I will see what I can do for you. They tell me you are a man with a past. VVell, cheer up, old boyg something tells me that you shall succeed in the future, T77 even though you have been a failure in politics. Go to Arkansas, young man, fatten hog's up in trees and get rich. Ilut take my advice and do not go to osculating among the females, as you did away down East. Do you remember the time you were trying to imprint the seeds of wisdom into the minds of the unsophisticated? W'hen accidentally-I say accidentally, be- cause any one looking at you could see innocence abroad - you kissed one of your pupils, which made the others so mad they broke up the furniture. Well, now. I believe I have just the thing here for you. Take this base ball mask, and next time you get so tempted, put it on. You may bark with it all you like, but you can't bite. You shall now have the honor of feasting your eyes upon the two pretty ones of the class. Don't get nervous, Kirk, I will explain later. Keep your seat, Dexter: you are a heart- breaker, I know, but Shannon has you beat. Step lively, Cupid, and come forward. XVill blushing VVillie Nofer come up and hold Cupid's hands? Now, girls, you need not try to get acquainted: such roses as these are always plucked early. Any one who would spend 39.85 talking over a telephone from il7hila- delphia t.o Louisville, Ky., for one minute, is no subject for a platonic friendship. Say, Shannon, what all did you say in that nine dollar and eighty-five cents' worth? I'll bet Freeberg's watch against a piece of chewing-gum that you burnt a wire out. What is the matter, Gorgie? You seem to be getting a little flushed. There is no paint here, friends. I can swear tO it. Pull your vest down and stop getting nervous. I am not going to tell off on you at all. Will some one in the audience let me take a plug hat? I would like to demonstrate how I could hide it in Shannon's dimple. Gentlemen, I wish to con- gratulate you in behalf of the class for your excellent work on the class committee. Now make your little bow. I have a stick of nice candy here for each of you. Thank me. Good-bye. I want every one to get their opera glasses out and carc- fully scrutinize the aggregation that will now meander to the front. Look long and steady, rubber as you have never rub- 178 bered before. Ewing, let Kimmelman hold that cud of tobacco you are chewing, and come and see me. Come on, Carlin, with him: I need you, too. Guess when I announce that you are presi- dent of the Mythelene lllue Gang I have said enough. There are two more that I want you to see before I meld my hand. Iler- geron, alias lletsy Bumper, the man who fought' a draw with a pound of whiskered butter, come on. 'I see you are expecting to be let drop. W'ell, Ilowman, we just need you to complete the list. Untwist your six feet four, and come help ns out. I-lave you any more of that llenedictine with you? Stick your chin in there, liergerong what do you think you are doing. trying to get a shave, or making an attempt to bite llowman's ear? These are four of our model men-good students, clever fellows and all-around good lads. Now just toe the mark there a minute until I look around among my rubbish and see what,I have for you. Ewing, I know I shall strike the IJ-string of your wishes by giving you this plug of Battle Axe and a box of I'ittsburg Stogics. Now go and enjoy yourself. Bergeron, I find a pair of gloves here, marked thirty-two French. VVhen you feel that Dr. .lekyl and his friend IIyde's feeling coming o-ver you, put them ont they might save your friends some trouble. YvCS,.BOlVl11Z1ll, I am coming. just bend over this way a little, so I may talk to you. Ilere, take this thermometer, and tell me how cold it is up where you are: what I have here for you will not stand a cold storage. VVell, old war-horse Carlin, vaudeville artist, champion imi- tator, all-around skin game man and honorary member of the I-looten Nanny Club. llesidcs all of these, good people, he is somewhat of a jockey. In his earlier days he owned a hobby- horse, and last summer, at the lleeville Fair, rode Nancy' Jinks to victory. just as the horse he was riding reached the line she stuck out her tongue, winning the race. Accept this medal as a reward for your all-around ability. You might as well take this box of Methylene Blue pills for your hoarseness. 179 The next two names I notice on my ledger are those of Hartzell and Davis. Rhinny, you come on first. The chances are, if Davis gets in front of you, you could not resist the temp- tation. licep your hands off of me now, as I am posted this afternoon, and no fishing or hunting allowed on these premises. Say, Rhinny, have you any jokes you would like to tell the audience? Give us one of those Why does the hen cross the road kind. He is a regular joe Miller's old joke book when he gets started-you should hear him. For example: I-lartzell-Say, Cope, I knew that patient had been eating vegetables just as soon as I felt her pulse. Cope-How was that? Hartzell-Why, I could feel a beet. Here, amuse yourself smelling this empty beer bottle while I say a little about Billy. That is the way, Bill, keep a stiff upper lip. I bet if I stick this dish of dessert I have for you under your nose you will relax. This fellow is noted for his appetite. Dishes, knives, cups and forks easily find a room to rent on traveling a short distance. His favorite dish is rice, either boiled, baked, stewed or raw. He took, by accident, seven blue mass -pills for No-to- bac, and has not smoked since. Get him to tell you about it. We predict for Bill a successful future, and it is rumored his en- gagement to a Miss Rice is announced-no use in talking, a 1l1Zll1,S weak point is his stomach. Davis, I present you with this big, fat rice pudding. Trade Rhinny a spoonful for a smell of his empty beer bottle, it will act as a teaser. Will Billy G-obbers, alias Philip Atlee Sheaf, and Johnnie Kiss-me-chewing-gum, alias Chas. Henry Ernst, come upi and get their presents from the Christmas tree? Do not mess the carpet with those unparched peanut hulls, Sheafg and, Ernst, don't you stick any more of your chewing gum around where I am apt to sit down. Stick it on P. H. Moore's head at recess. he will not mind it. If you hit the right spot, there is not much danger of your getting much hair mixed up in the scrimmage. 180 VVe have in our class also two individuals known for their sporting tendencies. just two-step up to the band-stand, James Clark Iiurt and Dicky joseph Gasslein, so the people may see what I am talking about. There are many .kinds of sports in existence. some amusing, some invigorating and some known as innocent. NVhat I here show you is a combination of the three. Now, Jim, stop your blushing. I know you room with Ililly Cope, but I really do not think you like the ladies as well as he seems to, and anyhow, I am not going to tell off on you, so be at ease. Where is your monocle, Dick? For some reason or another you seemed to be dressed rather soberly to-day. Did you think you were coming to a funeral? Where are those go-to-heaven coats and wall-paper vests you generally sport around? Loaned out, did I hear you say? Wfell, now, do not lose the tickets. To say these two are game would be putting it mild. No dog-fight or cow-race would be complete without their presence, and all penny wax slot machines are doomed when they begin playing them. They wanted to bet me that hens did not have teeth, that Dinklespiel was Irish, that whisky was the best medicine in the Pharmacopceia, and that g-r-a-s-s grass, h-o-p hop, grasshop, never stop until you get on top p-e-r spelled grasshopper. I was offered big odds and time to consider the matter, but I Finally backed down. Fellows, there is nothing I admire more than gameness, but before I can travel ill your class you must give me time to take a few bottles of Peruna. Allow me. A sport's attire is never complete without some flowers. Will the two gentlemen who sailed up the Mississippi river with George NVashington and discovered Flint, Mich., sup- press their modesty and kindly come forward, so the Daughters of the Revolution may catch a faint glimpse of greatness? Come on, Lockhead, and bring Captain Mundhenk with you. For the benefit of those who have never heard of your great ex- ploits, I will say, as explanatory,that Flint, Mich., is a great sum- 181 0 mer resort. There is nothing there to hinder a cool, refreshing breeze from constantly blowing-not even a house. As the train passing through it whistles, look out for the cars greets your eyes, while the mellow scent of umnown hay tickles your nos- trils and makes you sneeze. llad whisky was the cause of this famous discovery, and no doubt, between now and morning, will be the cause of a few more. But to look at them now, you could not guess in a hundred years their hobby. You may think I am drawing on my imagination when I tell you that a whole plug of llattle Axe only makes a respectable chew for one of them. Not long ago they were sitting on the banks of the Schuylkill river, fishing for frogs. Lockhead got a bite and caught a flea. They both took a chew on the joke, and next morning the inhabitants of West .l hiladelphia reported a sudden rise of three feet. A Kansas cyclone or a New Mexico water- spout usually lands somewhere, but its destruction is nothing compared to the avalanche poured forth by these two phenom- enal spitters from Spittersville. Fellows, see the things I have here. They look like wash-tubs, I know, but they are marked on the bottom spittoons. A hint to the wise is sufficient. VVill some one please pinch those three sleepy-headed Southerners, and tell them that they are wanted? This is a bad time to sleep, fellows. Come on, Toad Allen: quit your yawn- ing, ,llellamy-just stroll down the Lane and bring it along with you. Allen, I do not see how you ever became so fat. lt is pretty certain you did not feed yourself. Can you see your feet without looking backward? Hold Lane up, will you, llellamy, and let him have his sleep out. Friends, you see before you the laziest trio that ever lived. Always late, and never awake. Nevertheless, with all their lethargic tendencies, they are quite fascinating-taking, so to speak. One will interest you in talk- ing while another takes your watch. They talk like a buzz- saw going through a pine knot. XVhat makes you drop your 'r's' so when you are talking, Lane? asked a friend of him one day. XVhy. I don't think I drop my 'r's' so much: I say 'hoss' car, isn't that proper? It is a shame you fellows can never be 182 on time. NVhat do you intend to do when you get out into practice? Allen says he does not expect to have any. Guess you are banking on marrying a female osteopath and have her do the pinching for grub, are you not? I suppose about the best thing I could give you three would be something to remind you once in awhile that you are still alive. No doubt, a pound of Jalap powder apiece would be of service, but I must give you something with a longer spring-take these alarm clocks, and see that they are not allowed to run down. That will do. Now cakewalk back to your beds. . To the lovers of music I wish to say that you shall now have now an opportunity of listening to some rare harmony- notice, I use the word rare, Perhaps, afteryou have heard a bar or two, you will readily appreciate its rarety. Kirkpatrick. will you kindly call to order your famous German band, and bring them to the front? Come on, Coleman, the audience is getting impatient. NVe need you also, I-Ieinebergg a band is never complete without a flute. lreland, how is your air tank? You will need a lot of atmosphere to blow this gazoot I have for you. Now, gentlemen, I shall hand you your instruments and give you a few seconds to tune up, Here, Kirk, take this broom and use it for a time-stickg you may need it as a weapon in a few -minutes. lfleineberg, you are a little high with your Hute C, file it down a little and get in with Ireland. Do not hit that drum quite so hard, Coleman, you will make it sick. Now, members of the band, get ready and watch Kirks broom. l'lay the First six pages of The Cradle Has Always lleen Empty. That will do, gentlemen. I wish to thank you very much. Think I may say that I am quite sure the audience will never hear such music again outside of a pork packing-house, where a hog goes in one door and is continually squealing until he comes out as sausage. There is, also, among our munber a man who bears a charmed life. Ile has been run over by a trolley carg has sat on a cooking-stove hole in the place of a lid, endeavoring to L 183 keep the smoke ing has been held up by 1nistake and relieved of a valuable one-dollar Ingersoll watch, and still he lives. WVill the battle-scarred veteran, Mr. Iired Leland IN'ebb, from Iowa, come up and explain how it was all done? He is dumb, good friends, and is endeavoring to relate to you one of his hair- breadth escapes. I will translate it for you. He says: I was returning, one dark, cold night, from seeing a patient. In my right hand I carried a grip, while my left was hunting a warm spot in my pocket. I was evidently mistaken for a traveling man, whose grip contained valuables. All of a sudden I felt a jar on the head. This was the last I remember. I must have lain in a dazed condition for quite awhile, and on awakening I found two men asleep by my side. It so hap-pened that I had a bottle of chloroform in 1ny grip, which, in my fall, was broken. Evidently, in their eagerness to go through my grip, they in- haled the chloroform, which put them to sleepf, All that believe this stand on their head--mine is a little sore. I heard some one say just now, NVebb, that you had better let whisky alone or you will have them worse next time. I give you this to protect yourself in the future. NVill Harry Kirschuer and Eddie Pechin come up to the rostrum and get roasted? Harry, you have a hard time trying to raise a mustache, don't you? Take this umbrella, perhaps you may be able to raise it. Here, Eddie, take this Jumping Jack and go play with it. This is all I have to say. I have shown you art of various kinds, both physical beau- ties and feminine heart-breakers. Now for a little diversion. I am going to let you see two that have been turned down, while a third party stole the bait. Come on, XVakefield, and bring your rival with you. Get Crow by the ear and bring him along, he seems to be a little bashful. Now, girls, if you are possessed of a sympathetic nature and feel as though you needed a good comrade, just leave your cards at the box-office, there might be something doing here. Donyt you think it a shame for any girl to turn down such opportunities as these? Gossip has it that they were both in love with the same girl. Our tall 184 A friend here had an engagement to meet her at the Reading Terminal, one evening not long ago. He would have been wait- ing there yet had he not been arrested for vagrancy. I-Ie is out on a fifty-cent bond at present. Not long after XVakef'ield's wait for Katie, Mr. Crow called around, and began imme- diately pressing his suit. Oh, Katiefi he cried, will you not listen? Can you not see what a spouter I am? Yes, I know, replied Katie, so was the whale that swallowed Jonah. Go away,'i she continued, you have been running around with Billie Cope, and I am scared of you. Gentlemen, bow your heads together. Misery loves com- pany and sympathy-you have both. May this mourning serve to recall a sad experience and a lost cause. Fold your hands, and hunt an undertaker. Is marriage a failure? Is it a delusion or an illusion? No, says Ella VVheeler Vtlilcox and Dorothy Dix, it is one of the best things in life. NVQ have quite a number of married men with us, and I am going to ask them to look pleasant and come out. Come on, Carson, you need not be afraid of walking too heavy. Do not imagine you are trying to get in without waking your better half up. Get a move on you, Lehman. VVill Irish Boyle, Smythgall, Dutch Hartman and Quaker Stimus com- plete the list? Now look at them, good people, and notice what a blissful, peaceful, unsophistieated smile enlightens their features. This peculiar symptom is absolutely diagnostic and never seen outside of the hospital of matrimony. Married men always look so neat and prim to me. Guess it is because they do not have to use bachelor buttons, or turn their shirts wrong side out while awaiting news from papa. Will the sergeant-at- arms be so kind as to wheel that baby carriage up and tur11 it over to Carson? You do not need it, did I hear you say? Oh well, that is all right. In times of peace prepare for war, you know the saying goes. For Lehman, Boyle and Smythgall I have a bottle apiece. If you do not know how to use them, why, look the matter up in a dream book. I- have not time to explain. Papa Stimus and Daddy Hartman, come here and get 195 your share from the fishing pond. If they do not fit, why, I shall see that you get a size larger. That will dog you need not wait any longer. I suppose you must all get home before dark. Good-bye, remember me to the family. Now if Mr. Max Dinklespiel and Barney NVurmser will lock arms and promenade up the aisle, I shall endeavor to make a few remarks on how to roast pork. XVhat is Barney trying to do there, fellows? Peeping through a keyhole, did I hear some one say? XVhat did you see, Barney? These are two of our best students. Now, fellows, if I use any more such hot air as this, it will cost you extra. I am talking against time and good nature. In having an opportunity of viewing these two, I am sure you will feel as though you have received your money's worth. It is only once in a century that such lights are born and such intellects beam for humanity. VVhat is the matter, Barney? Anything the matter with your vaso motor apparatus, or did you see Becky? I fully realize that it is far better to eulogize a man after he has passed in his checks and, perhaps, is sitting fishing on the banks of the river Styx: yet, at the same time, I feel as though the really great should be lauded while wearing the garb of mortality. Wfho would have ever known that the reason it gets dark at night is because the devil makes Hahnemann put on a pair of asbestos trousers and sit on the sun, had it not been for you? How much humanity has derived from l3arney's great paper entitled Things I Have Seen Through Keyholesln You are indeed worthy of consideration. I predict for you both immeasurable successes in your future. In case you find medicine a disagreeable occupation, which I am inclined to think you will not, take these, and with them start life anew. Will the two rubbernecks in the class please come up and allow me an interview? Now, do not all get up at once. I want the two whose necks are burning. Come on, Miles, catch left-handed XfVherry by his right hand, and make him come. Receive these from your fellow-classmates as acknowledgment and appreciation of your noble work while on duty at the Rub- berneck Hospital--that peaceful place, set aside for the cure of 186 those who have tried to count the buttons on Billy l'enn's vest from the ground below. Say, in loud, sonorous voices like Alphonse and Gaston-I thank you. The two I shall now show you have been especially re- served for the last chapter of my little story. Will Billie Cope and Frankie Kirby expand their chests and come forward? Get on that chair, Cope, and whisper in Kirby's ear that there is going to be something doing. These two are known among their classmates as the before and after results of using juniper Pine Tar. Our high friend here was once upon a time a trader of considerable shrewdness, but one day he traded shapes with a snipe and gorcheateilf since which he has left the business. His friend, lfiillie Cope-must I say what I am thinking about, Billie, or must I simply introduce you as the lad who fell on his head and telescoped his neck, and then let you go? Make it ten, and I will do it. Thank you-here, wait a minute until I tack this For Rent on you. i Mr. Kirby, Santa Claus is now ready to put things in your stockings. W'here did you hang them? Oh well, never mind, just carry them in your arms. Hope you know how to adjust them. The package is labeled Alabama Padding. Now for the closing scene in this afternoon's program. I am going to ask the ladies dressed in black organdy to kangaroo forth and exhibit the latest effect in black. Miss lfVally Sharp, will you gather up your skirts a11d Du Ilarry out? Help Miss Moore to pin on her hat, and bring her along. Miss Patton, I insist that you and Miss Clarence Ely stop your gos- siping about Keating's pretty eyes, and come on. Now, Miss VValker, will you not oblige us and give us the pleasure of your company? NVill you stand in line, and let me inspect? I have no criticism to offer whatever. You and your clinging gowns are perfectly beautiful. Did you ever see a loose bale of hay with a rope around one end? Now do not get mad, I am simply speaking about hay. I am sure you need no introduction what- ever to the audience, so I shall give you none. They have seen you do your little stunts, and have made your acquaintance. 187 Allow me, laclies-a fashion plate will not be amiss, I know, in your worlc-baslcet. XYell, ladies and gentlemen, I have iinishecl, and when I say we thank you very much for your presence, I am sure I voice the sentiments of my fellow-classmates. To yon, my fellow- stuclents, I wish you luck. XYe meet once again before we part, and let' ns all hope that when our balloon of fate alights it will not be in a posterl pasture. Again I thank you, eaeh ancl all. fl? 65 9' 'EIL-vb ' J Q no I o f :QQQGSWZQ 1 , ,Q . ' 27' iii? isffafcirf-I M ' ,-4 -44632. if S'-'f'4.2?4z9fl J ' -' ,' ' if I 2? fl - - Q.. if Q.
