23 Class of '92. HISTORY. Nearly three years ago we crept up those tiights of stairs leading to the upper amphi- theatre, with fear and trembling, lest when we reached the top, we should immediately be seized and passed into the arena, or some unregenerate senior should yell D. J. when we hove in sight. NVe took a seat on the berch quite surprised by our modest reception, and waited for the ceremonies to begin. We were very quiet and our high foreheads did not attract universal attention, as we had vainly hoped 'they Would. We even forgot to yell when the Professors came in, and when the meeting was over, we walked home with a heavy weight of care resting upon us and wondering if we would ever stick it out for three years. We have, however, and some of us are crying for more, but with an earliest if not devout wish that we won't have to make it four years. Life is too short for such luxuries. At the beginning of this year we met, full of vigor, all firmly resolved to stand by ,Q2 to the last and gather in the sheepskin on March 29th. To this end we have labored. Long ago we gave up such childish amusements as yelling D. -I. and passing up promiscuous members of that great family. Always free to express ourselves and not being deficient in original thought, many valuable additions have been made to science by certain members of the class. One of us nearly caused the entire class to go into epileptoid con- vulsions by informing the Professor that 'iembolism and trembolism were causes of cerebral anaemia, at the same time illustrating in a decided manner, the aforesaid trembolism and cerebral anaemia. But time would fail and space would not permit, should we wish to record the various happenings of our existence. , In a short time we will be gone, 11071 jfzzifzzzzz .ve1z'z'm'ty9f1z11z.',

22 in obtaining a large house next door to the hospital as a Maternity Hospital. Two other houses were also acquired as convalescing wards. The clinics, especially those of surgery, have always been large-almost as great as the capacity of the building would allow, the construction of the hospital and additions have filled the College clinics to the utmost. A year ago the surgical clinics were considered greater than any otherin the country and equal to the greatest in Europe, and at the present time they have increased wonderfully owing to the renown of the surgical staff. In 1888 the Faculty lost the first member in thirteen years-Professor Gunn. He knew not that in the space of three years four of his colleagues would follow him to ever- lasting rest. Several necessary changes were made at this time. Professor Parkes took the Chair of Surgery so recently vacated, and Dr. Bevan, an eminent graduate, entered the College as Professor of Anatomy. Almost immediately after this an invitation was extended to Professor N. Senn to fill a new chair-of Principles of Surgery and Surgical Pathology, which was accepted. At this same period negotiations were opened between Lake Forest University and Rush Medical College to formulate a union of the latter as medical department of the former. Soon after Professors Knox and Brower entered upon their duties with full professor- ships. Subsequent to the death of Professor Allen, in the fall of '90, Professor Holmes became president. As the class of ,QI were about to graduate, and all was going joyously, a great shock was received in the sudden death of Professor Parkes. As the Chair of Surgery was considered too great for the work of one man it was divided into the Principles of Surgery and Clinical Surgery, and Practice of Surgery and Clinical Surgery. Professor Senn, who held the Chair of Surgical Pathology, took the Professorship of Practice, and J. B. Hamilton, M. D., LL. D., late Supervising Surgeon- General of the Marine Hospital Service, accepted that of Principles. New professors were elected to the following positions: William A. Locy, A. M., Professor of Physiology, Sanger Brown, M. D., Professor of Hygiene and Medical Juris- prudence, W. T. Belfield, M. D., Professor of Bacteriology. R. W. H.
