Ji' ii. intptess. F or Blessed are the n1e1'cifnl, he presented the htnnanity of Ufaltei' Reed, 'we heard again in nzetnoryis eat' the advocate of many an ewflng student, and were better taught. He spoke of the lanngei' and thirst for righteousness as the sincere lofve of truth in all its fottns, including the fruits of scientiyic research. I-V e saw in 777l7Zfl,.S' eye his il'C?t1.Y1l1'6Cl depattinental reprints, his beloved Alumni Research Foundation, and abofve all a life of honest thought and action. As in I-1afwtho1'ne's allegory the noble lilcenessqof the Great Stone Face was recognized in the hero, not by himself but by his lreholders, so it ls left for ns to see the Christian Physician as we knew hint, Newton Efuans. The portrait of Dr. Newton Evans was pointed alter his death by Peter Plotkin, Ph.D. When he was a small child Plot- kin was orphaned when his entire family was killed in a po- grom. He was 'found in a hospital by Count Leo Tolstoy who arranged for his care in the home of a nobleman where he was treated as a son and given all the training .in the arts that wasvpossible. He received his doctorate from the Royal Russian Academy. Before the Revolution, Plotkin painted portraits chiefly of the nobility, including the monk Rasputin. He came to the United States in 1917 and painted the American Legion prize- winner, Never Alone. He has done a series of portraits of the more celebrated heroes of the South, including Generals Lee, Jackson, and Houston. He painted the portrait of Ellen Gould White which hangs in the lobby of the White Memorial Hos- pital. Dr. Plotkin has plans for a series of paintings on the life of Christ. Edward H. Risley, M.D., 1881-1943, was another pioneer as- sociated with the College since its founding. As professor of chemistry, dean, and president he was known by most of those now alumni. His demands on students were exacting, but he met them first himself. He was a Christian gentleman and a scholar, and undoubtedly one of the best loved men ever to serve CME. The picture above was taken a few weeks before his death A famous triumvirate, Drs. George Thomason, Percy T. Magan, and Newton Evans. Dr. Thomason, long-time professor of sur- gery and chairman of the Section on Surgery until his death on March 10, 1947, was a veteran of the Battle Creek epoch of the march of CME. His work added much to the material and scientific advancement of the College. The respect in which he was held by the medical profession generally has added to the school's prestige. For notes on Dr. Magan see pages 12 and 13
