Reed Poel and Historian cm t=Uap, ' 13 History of College HREE quarters of a century ago last De- cember the question of establishing a medi- cal school in the city of Richmond was determined by the Board of Trustees of Hampden-Sidney College, and Regula- tions for the Medical Department of Hampden-Sidney College were adopted. One of these required the session to com- mence on the first Monday of November of each year and continue until the last week of March ensuing, mak- ing a term of five calendar months. At that time a student could get his degree in one session, the following being a part of the requirements for graduation: As attainment is the only just foundation for distinction, any student sh all be permitted to present himself for examination at the close of each session, provided, how- ever, he has previously attended in this department one full course of lectures on all the branches taught therein, together with attendance upon the dissecting room of the college for one session, and shall have studied medicine with a respectable practitioner for two years. Until the completion, in 1845, of the building in which the past session was held, lectures were given in what had formerly been the Union Hotel, located on the south- west corner of Nineteenth and Main Streets. Mordecai ' s History of Richmond refers to this as follows: The Medical College is of modern date, ha ing been established in 1837 by the united influence and exertions of Drs. Chamberlayne, Cullen, Warner, Maupin and Bohannon. The Union Hotel (Nineteenth and Main Streets) was con -erted into a medical school and hospital. Limbs, instead of cutting capers, were cut in pieces in the ballroom; potions were mixed instead of punches; poul- tices supplanted pudding and Seidlitz water, champagne. Now the former order of things is reinstated at the hotel, and young doctors are diplomatized and patients are phy- sicked in the Egyptian edifice on the old Academy or Theatre Square. The first session began on the first Monday in No- vember, 1838. There were 46 matriculates and 14 grad- uates this session. The Faculty, six in number, - ' as as follows : Augustus L. Warner, M. D., Professor of Surgery. John Cullen, M. D., Professor of Theory and Prac- tice of Medicine. R. L. Bohannon, M. D., Professor of Obstetrics and Diseases of Women and Children. Oe I=Uap, ns L. W. Chamberlayne, iM. D., Professor of Materia Medica and Therapeutics. Thomas Johnson, M. D., Professor of Anatomy and Physiology. Socrates Maupln, M. D., Professor of Chemistry and Pharmacy. Dr. Augustus L. Warner was the first Dean, and con- tinued in this capacity until his death, in 1845. Owing to differences between the Trustees of Hamp- den-Sidney College and the Faculty of the Medical De- partment, the latter applied to the General Assembly for a charter as a separate institution, and by an act passed February 25, 1854, the school was incorporated under the name of The Medical College of Virginia. During the session of i859- ' 6o, because of bitter sec- tional feeling, a large number of students from the South attending the medical colleges in Philadelphia withdrew from those colleges and entered the Medical College of Virginia, increasing the number of students to 228, the largest class in its history up to that time and until recent years. In i860, in consideration of an appropriation of $30,- 000 by the General Assembly, all of the property of the college was conveyed by deed to the Literary Fund, the college thus becoming a State institution. With this money a hospital, later known as the Old Dominion Hos- pital, and now occupied by the Dental Department, was erected and other necessary changes and improvements were made. During the war the Medical College of ' irginia con- ducted each year two sessions, of six months each, in order to supply the demand of the army and navj ' for surgeons. It was the only medical college in the Con- federate States which did not close its doors during this period, and enjoys the distinction of being the oldest medical college in the South which has been in continuous operation since its establishment. After the war the Faculty successfully resisted an at- tempt of the Readjuster party, which was then in power, to obtain control of the college by the substitution of a board of visitors, appointed by the Governor elected by that party, for the Board then in control. It was the only State school whose independence was maintained during that trying period. In 1879 an amendment to the charter was obtained, which enabled the Faculty to confer the degree of Grad- uate in Pharmacy, and for several years a course leading to this degree was conducted. In 1897 the college work was divided into three de- partments for the purpose of teaching medicine, den- tistry and pharmacy, and by an act of the General As- sembly, approved February 2, i8q8, the Faculty was authorized to coner the degree of doctor of dental sur- gery as well as the degrees of doctor of medicine and graduate in pharmacy. €i)t I=Uap, ns From its iirst session, beginning in 183S, to the present time, a period of se ' enty-hve years, the history of the college shows a spirit of self-sacrifice on the part of its Faculty which is probably unequalled by that of any other institution in this country. Both Faculty anil Ad- junct Faculty ha ' e given loyal ser ice to the institution without adequate remuneration for any teacher and with- out any remuneration at all for most of them. They have spent the meagre funds at their disposal to impro e the teaching facilities of the college. The success of the school in its competition with wealthy and hea ' ily en- dowed institutions is the best proof of the unselfish dexo- tion of its teachers. By no one has greater devotion been shown than by our Dean, Dr. Christopher Tompkins. Elected to the Fac- ulty in 1880 he became Dean in iSq , and has ser ' ed the college in that capacity for twenty years, more than one- fourth of the entire period of its existence. From the time of his election to the present the col- lege has steadily grown greater in faculty, teaching facili- ties, number of students and reputation, until to-dav it has achieved a distinguished position among the medical colleges of this country. This has been accomplished not through the gift of large sums of money to the institu- tion, but through the endowment of an unpaid Faculty, which has unselfishly worked to this end. Cniided by a wise and conservative Dean, whose reputation for honor and integrity has been a bul« ' ark of strength. As Sec- retary of the college I ha e been intimately associated with him in the conduct of its affairs since 1900 and know the truth of these statements. The Old School, in behalf of which we ha ' e success- fully striven, ends its existence as such with the conclusion of the present session. This end is not death, however, but the transition from an humble to a more glorious existence, let us hope. It will retain its name and part of its old Faculty, and will aci]uire the Memorial Hospital, a large part of the Faculty and all of the property of the L ' niversity College of Medicine, which passes out of existence, so far as its name is concerned. These gifts add to the equipment of the Medical College of Vir- ginia, property of the value of at least a half-million dol- lars. With these notable additions to the equipment and teaching corps of the college, it would seem that its honor- able past bids fair to be rewarded by a glorious future. F. M. Ri:.- ni:, M. D.

Clje I=Hap, ns Senior Class History ITH a deep sense of the needs of suffer- ing humanity, a large number of enthu- siastic young men gathered in the halls of the Medical College of Mrginia, at the opening of the session of 1909. There were a great many things for which this gathering was conspicuous; but the thing which was most in evidence was the friendly relationship and good will which was prevalent from the very first, notwithstanding the fact that they had come from all parts of the country, and represented tastes of many different advironments. They seemed from the very outset as if they were old friends meeting again. After matriculation and listening to a few friendly words from Mr. McCauley and some remarks of au- thority and wisdom (?) from Mr. P ' ord, and some fel- low-student of the upper class addressed us as Doc, we began to feel that we had made some wonderful strides towards the goal of our ambitions. However, after assembling in Anatomy Hall and coming face to face with the first skeleton we had ever beheld — that gruesome reminder of what we are sure to be, we began to grow more serious, and to appreciate in a measure the tremendous task which we were about to under- take. The immensity of the course which was outlined to the Freshman class served as a stimulus, and the boys responded with hard work and regular attendance. For it did not require a great deal of forethought to see that the amount of work necessary to pass the professors of Anatomy and Chemistry was enough to make one with any inclination to oppose hard study, feel a little shaky (incidentally, we were reminded that this was no d — n corn-shucking), and it is really a little strange that the obviousness of the situation of affairs did not take pos- session of a few of the boys until the final examinations were posted in the hall, and a close scrutiny down the column of successful ones failed to re -eal their names. These same fellows did not rush into the office and inquire if there had not been a mistake, because they wel l knew that the proprietor of Murphy ' s pool-room could tell them why they had failed. Be it said to the credit of the class, however, that at the close of the session, a comparatively large number had clean sheets, and hose who had failed were impatient for another chance, and had made new resolves to meet the demands of the coming session with the best that was in them. At the close of the session, we all impatiently began €lK T=nay, ' 13 to pack, our trunks and to take the earliest trains for home, many of us feeUng prouder of ourselves and our chosen professions than, perhaps, we will ever feel again. We now Hnd ourseh ' es mingling together again at the beginning of our Sophomore year. While there were a few of the old faces absent, their places were doublv tilled b new ones — among whom were Arnold, from Unixersitv of Pennsyhania ; Demorest, from Queen ' s L ' ni ersitv, Canaila ; Hart, from Baltimore, and Reed, from U. of L. It required only a short time for the new recruits to fall into line, and they were soon impressed with the fact that the paramount issue was a clean sheet at the close of the session ; and, to add to the misery of the new ones, it was e en rumored that it was no unusual thing for a student to fall on Prin- ciples of Surgery or Pathology, with the close mark of 74 Hi per cent (7 per cent being the requirement). These and other evidences ser ed to warn the boys that mercv was a stranger here, even though it be sorely needed. It also sr ed as a stimulus: and at the close of the year we emerged with many well-earned credits, re- minding us that the goal was some nearer, but that 19 13 was still far away. The Junior year was marked •ith the same earnest en- deavor which had characterized the class during the two prexious years, and at the close of the session we began to feel a little more practical, and e en went so far, many of us, as to suggest and prescribe for our neighbors about home during the holidays. It has been during the history of the 191J? class that athletics at M. C. Y. has taken such tremendous leaps forward, until to-day it stands as one of the foremost athletic organizations in the State; and it is only fair to say that our class has played a conspicuous part. We ha e been well represented on footfall by Cofer, Johns and Elder, while in baseball Lewis and Cottrell were there with the goods. It is worthy of note that it has been our class, uiuler the direction of Connor, that has caused the Y. M. C. . . of the college to become a permanent organization. It is an auxiliary of the City Y. M. C. A., and its influence for good cannot be considered lightly. We ha -e only given a small account of ourseh es, but modesty forbids more. We have now reached the long- sighed-for year of ' 13, when we are dignified seniors; and as we see, one by one, another hard subject placed to our credits, we are reminded of the old patriarch who, long ago, v.-restled by the beautiful stream, during the long hours of night, until God blessed him. I ' nlike Jacob, howe ' er, the ictnrv is not yet « ' on, anti wc can almost feel a sensation of failing courage, as we are about to be launched out into real life, to either live up to the hopes of friends and loved ones, or else pro -e a life-long disappointment to them. Here we have had Oc H ' -nay. ' 13 Si sympathetic teachers, brother-students and fraternal com- panions to help us out of difficulties; but ere a few more months we go forth — self dependent, to face the struggles of life, single-handed, and those who go, determined to be a man under any and all circumstances, with a heart full of kindness for his suffering brother, ready at all times to speak a word of comfort to his troubled mind, as well as to heal his body, will surely succeed in his chosen profession. Some one has beautifully said: Tis the human touch in the world tliat counts. Tile touch of your hand and mine. That means much more to the fainting heart Than shelter and bread and wine. For the shelter is .gone when the night is o ' er. And bread lasts merely a day. But the touch of the hand and the sound of the voice Sing on in the soul alway. W. H. Reed. Historian.

Cljc I=Uap, ' 13 Dental Class History OMETIME during the latter part of Sep- tember of 1 9 10 there stranded to this institution ele en ambitious young men, who banded themselves together and formed the future class of 1913. We pride ourselves of being the same ele en that began the infancy of our class. We came not hither to delve into the mys- teries of medicine nor to become a compounder of medi- cines, but with the purpose of obtaining a degree that gave a letter for each year — D. D. S. for three years. It must not be inferred, however, that this was our sole purpose, for we had other intentions. It was our desire, also, that by studying dentistry we could enter that sphere of professionalism, and thereby render our assistance to the cause of humanity in this branch of Science, and also to join with our progenitors to help elevate the already growing influence of the profession. On our arri -al at college we were very much impressed with the manner in which we were received. The older students were always ready with a welcome and cordial greeting, thereby impressing upon us that good college spirit. After loitering around a few days, aiul after having attended a few lectures, we were showered with notices that there would be important meetings of the dental students. We attended these meetings and with all the submission of Freshmen. The elders explained to us the why and wherefore of the meeting. And soon the die was cast — the Dental Students had declared them- selves a separate and distinct student-body of the M. C. V. When we had become well acquainted with each other a class meeting was called. After a little discussion and rambling the class officers were elected. We chose as our president the stern and astute classmate Tommy King. On account of the big business of the class, we knew that the president would need an assistant at his side all the time, so we chose, as vice-president, his room- mate, Dutchy Miller. For secretary and treasurer we elected Little Dodd. And thus continued our mere existence. The laurels and honors won at prep school were not even dreamed of here: it was all grind, grind, — and bv the midnight oil. Soon examinations crept upon us, and ere long, our Freshman course ended. We returned the following September, and with all the dignity and serenity of Jtiniors. There were glad greet- iniTS and the renewing of old friendships and the making of new. It did not take us long, and we were back at hard studv and plenty of woi-k in the Infirmary polishing CI)C £=Ilag, ' 13 63 teeth. But, before we settled down to this routine of work, we had to elect officers who would lead the des- tinies of the Junior class. Here we had a class of eleven, and every man equally as fit for the high office. It was most amusing at this election; nearly every man in the class was nominated for president. Consistent with the jolly sentiment of the class, the ever-pleasing and never-worrying Bill Smoot was chosen as head of the class. We then elected Tomlinson as vice-president, so that he might look after Smoot. We had little difficulty in electing a secretary and treasurer, entrusting the office to M. C. Stembridge. Our life as Juniors continued rather uneventful. Later on, however, our class gained considerable prominence by having W. E. Miller chosen as manager for the football team for 191 2. When we returned in September, 1912, for our final plunge we were full of Senior atmosphere and made our- selves conspicuous as such. The main purpose before us, however, was hard work and a steady aim toward gradua- tion day, fancying in our imagination, wearing a cap and gown and carrying a diploma in our hand. Soon our Junior president Bill Smoot called a class meeting. After a little deliberation, Dutch Miller, who had so successfully managed the football eleven, was elected to guide the class eleven for 1913. Lest Miller err in some of his decisions, Jimmy James was elected as -ice-president, to see that Dutch judged wisely. Realizing that there would be considerable busi- ness and a large expenditure of money incumbent upon the Senior class, the lot of secretary and treasurer fell to Harry Bear. Now the class started in for hard study and work. It is a matter of conjecture, however, as to where the most study is done — in the rooms or on Broad Street. It is safe to assume, though, along this line, that the theatres are not passed unnoticed. Since our college decided to issue an Annual for 19 13, the Dental Department came in for its share of represen- tatives. Therefore, Dutch called a meeting to elect them. Jimmy James was elected as Dental represen- tative. T. J. King, with all his literary accomplishments and poetical refinement, was found equal to the task and was elected Class Poet. D. H. Massie, who is the only man in the class who has a strong temperament for the artistic and esthetic, was elected as Artist. W. R. Dodd, who sinks into meditation and grasps the visionary future, was elected as Class Prophet. Harry Bear was elected Historian, to record the facts and events, either real or unreal, and imaginary. The one predominating thought of the class is Com- mencement, and having this in mind, such things as class pins, invitations, etc. were to be considered. Finally a pin was selected. Ele en were ordered and now our class wears the emblem that is characteristic of the profession. 64 €lK r=Ucip, ' 13 The only hope is that the class of ele en graduate to- gether, leaving no trace of any member behind, save the pleasant memories and thoughts of the class of 19 13. Now my task is at an end, though not finished, for 1 cannot follow each and e -ery one of my fellows into the future and complete their histories. That which is to come I leave to the Prophet, but as for the past, let us not forget our college days, and let us always remember the friendships we formed, for this is the rarest gift of the gods. And let us e ' er look to our Alma Mater with the thought: Thou hast been a mother to me, to thee I will e ' er be a true and lo ing son. Harkv Bear, Hisiorum. CI)E I=Uap, ns 65 Dental Class Prophecy N a warm afternoon in July, being wearied from toil in my office, I went into the park for a stroll and a rest. While there, thinking of the good old school days and the class of 1913, I fell asleep. Suddenly there appeared before me an old man leaning on his staff. He seemed to know my thoughts, and asked what I most desired. I readily confided my thoughts to him and stated that I wished to know the whereabouts and the state of my old classmates. He consented to give me a glimpse of them if I would promise to ask no questions. And with ready assurances of quietude on my part, he took me by the hand and led me through a ' alley, into a city, which I knew to be Richmond, the home of the medical colleges. He then showed me the office of Harry Bear, and told me that no man looms up above the horizon of his pro- fession like this young man. His walk, air of prosperity, and magnificent office bore witness to the possession of a knowledge of his profession, obtained in more youthful days. He had passed the days of anxious waiting and was now master of his profession. He lived in an elegant home in South Richmond, and presiding over it was the fair lady he dreamed of in bygone days. The familiar scenes of Richmond suddenly anished, and I was shown another city. There I saw Des Fortes, better known by his classmates as Rucker. He was in a neatly furnished office, working in his usual way, polish- ing up a ten-tooth bridge. He was still quiet, still pur- suing — making headway as few men do. Again the scene changed, and I was carried away to a distant city, which pro -ed to be Philadelphia. I was then taken into a large hospital, where James, whom Petersburg could not hold, was holding a clinic for more than a hundred students. His deft fingers did the work while his tongue produced the word-picture of a wiring of the Inferior Maxilla. He had specialized on this im- portant branch of surgery. While thinking of this picture, I was suddenly spirited away into Danville, where I saw a cheerful reception room and a nicely fitted up laboratory. In the laboratory I saw a bridge just finished and very neatly polished. Just then the telephone bell rang and I heard the voice of a young man, and listening, I heard him say, Sorry, but I can ' t come to my office Sundav. Oh, I misunderstood you; beg your pardon: yes, dear, I will be at First Church, sure. I knew it was my brother, Hudnall Dodd. I was next flighted awav into the Old North State. € )c t=Uiip, ns There I saw a beautiful home and in it a handsome man, with a neatlv trimmed moustache, whom I recognized as Tom King. He is now a leader among men, a master in his art, and a past-master with the fair sex. The latter art he manifested unmistakable signs of proficiency while at the Medical College of Virginia. In my wanderings I next saw a man in a laboratory busy at ork with some electric wire, and was informed that this was a new time-saving dental engine. Just in- vented by one of the brighest and most promising young dentists of the city. As the busy man looked up, I recog- nized Massie. He had won a name for himself, and is now a citizen of Baltimore, happy with the one he wooed and wed while a student. Lest I should tire at seeing my friends toiling, I was next taken to a football game, and as the jolly crowd sang, Hail! Hail! the gang ' s all here! T recalled the familiar -oice of Dutch Miller. He had been our foot- ball manager and also president of the class of 1913. He was waving his cane with the same enthusiasm and glee of his old school days. And I could imagine that I could see the powerful line of old M. C. V. as they carried the ball across the goal. After the game, Dutch took me to his office. On the way he pointed out a large building, on which I saw the sign, Miller ' s Separating Media Manufacturing Company, which pro ed that all of his time was not spent in idle sport. Distance being eliminated, I next found myself in Washington, D. C. Here I was shown a great mansion on Pennsyhania A ' enue. I entered the building and was ushered into Bill Smoot ' s office, where I saw him com- pleting a Richmond crown. Gay as when a student, the fire of youth still shining from his face.

According to the eternal fitness of things, the last isage of my class was not lackin T interest. I followed my conductor, and soon we stood in front of a large building. On the door was printed, in golden let- ters, Office of Dr. Tnniliiisnii. It was growing late as we entered the office. Here I was shown a large suite of rooms, faultlessly furnished, one with mission oak, the other with white enamel. No one was in the recep- tion room, but in the operating room I saw a handsome, business-like man, at a telephone. These words were audible: I will not be home to supper to-night, owing to a pressing engagement at mv office. - s he quickly hung up the receiver, he turned, and I met him face to face, realizing that it was my old room-mate.

They entered the Medical College of Virginia, or what IS also known as the old College of Medicine. It being one of the oldest meBical schools in the land of the Sunny South, and the one that sent out most of the phy- sicians during the great War between the North and South. This class of young men entered the doors of the old college with a determination in view to conquer whatever work was put before them, however difficult it might be. With this determination, the boys not only won the friendship and confidence of their fellow classmates, but also won the friendship and confidence of all their teachers. The class was not a large one from the first, only hav- ing sixteen in the Junior year, and from that number only nine came back for their Senior year. Tw ' o of the boys had to leave in the first part of the Junior year on account of sickness, and in January one took the examination of the State Board and passed it. So he left school to face the duties of his life work. Two others decided they wanted the degree of M. D. to their names; and one went out to some other school. Lastly the Chinaman and one other were lost to us ; we know not where they are. We wish all the boys success in whate er undertaking confronts them in life. Now it is with sad and heavy hearts we say farewell to the old college and to many friends whom we have met and learned to like. But, alas, it is an old, but true, saying, The fruits of college life are to meet, make, and then to part. It is, on the other hand, with glad hearts that we enter out upon our life-work, consisting of pouring medicine from one bottle to another and the rolling of pills. It is the sincere wish of the writer that each boy may be even more successful in his life-work than he has been while here in college, and that he may go forth facing the duties of life with this motto ever before him: Slil! achieving, slill pursuing, Icarii to labor and to iiait. HiSTORI. ' VN. 76 €i)c T=Rtij), ns Pharmacy- Class Prophecy [HE day was done. The goddess Xight had unfolded her great ebony wings across the humid landscape. E ' erything faded from iew as if it were de oured hv some great monster. Although I beheld many things of which I had never dreamed before and which the world knew not of, and al- though my prospecti e was one of incommensurable ex- tent, I was able to limit my scattered thoughts to a hitherto dark and unknown future. After I realized the peculiarity of my imaginary exist- ence, a great desire arose within me to know and under- stand the cause. Then quickly the darkness disappeared and I found myself in the midst of what appeared to be a great city. I stood still, in very much bewilderment at the grandeur which lay before me. But, finally, I col- lected my scattered thoughts and asked a pedestrian, What the name of this place was? He replied, That it was Pikeville, North Carolina. Pike ille seemed very familiar to me, and then I remembered that my old class-mate, Fred Dees, was from there. I at once longed to see him and to know with what success he had met, when suddenly mv eyes fell upon a large tweh ' c-story building bearing the name Dees Drug Company. I at once crossed the street and entered the store, which was the largest and best equipped that I had ever seen. Upon inquiring for my old classmate, I was told that he was not in, and I was directed to his home. On my arri al at the house where I was directed I saw someone sitting in front of the house reading a newspaper, who I at once recognized as my old classmate Dees. I walked up to where he was sitting and said, ' Good morning, Fred! He was greatly surprised when he was aware that one of his old college mates was in his midst. After con- versing with him for some time he told me that he had been -ery successful in business and more so in love, as dear Minnie (what he called her while in college) was all his own. While I was thus engaged with this old friend, drink- ing in e -ery word that fell from his lips about his suc- cessful career, a sudden darkness again fell upon us and robbed me of the pleasure which, I presume, I would ha -e enjoyed much longer. I felt as though I had as- sumed a peculiar shape, and all the time the darkness seemed to grow denser and denser around me. In a moment there flashed before me another scene more beautiful than the first. So gloriously magnificent was it that words to describe it would seem only as mocking Oc I=aap, ' 13 77 cymbals. Where can this earthly paradise be? said I, in silent admiration. When suddenly someone tapped me on the shoulder and said, Hello, old pal! In turning around, I stood face to face with another of my classmates, Arthur Macon, but he had certainly changed since he left col- lege, as he now wore a minister ' s garb, which did not surprise me very much, as it always seemed that he was inclined that way. After conversing with him for a short time he told me that another of our old college chums was in business in this place, and, of course, I was very anxious to see him. So we proceeded to call upon him, and, behold, who could it be but my old chum, McMew, who had been very successful in the drug business. Again, I was not surprised, for I thought of the familiar pro- verb, A man must follow his natural bent, and I re- member how Mc, while at college, was fond of analyz- ing every business opportunity that was put before him. I felt a desire to see some others of my former class- mates, when instantly, in answer to my wish, the scene before melted suddenly into a musty haze and then a dull gray, becoming each moment darker, until an im- penetrable gloom, as dark as the Egyptian night, settled around me. Suddenly it broke with a blinding flash, and I stood within the midst of a hitherto unknown place. Where could this place be? said I. When I looked above my head I read the following: TapfaJiauiwck Jl ' holcsalc and Retail Drug Company, Southworth ■ Ware. Proprietors. Pushing my way through the crowded thoroughfare, I entered the store and behold, if I had been thunder- struck I could not have been more surprised, for I recog- nized my old classmate, Macon Ware (a ery distin- guished looking gentleman) con -ersing with se eral ladies, a thing he was never known to do while at col- lege. He at once recognized me and instantly came forward, greeting me very cordially. After conversing with him for a short time, he informed me that he and Southworth had gone in business immediatelv after leav- ing college and they had been very successful, having ob- tained a monopoly on the drug business in that section of the State. On inquiring for Southworth, he told me That he was in the office. Walking up to the door unobserved, I heard the once familiar voice saying, Shoot the quarter; shoot the half; kill the bill! Henry seemed very much surprised and, after greeting me very heartily, he offered to show me over the town in his big automobile. After we had been riding for some little time, some- thing got wrong with the car and Henry could neither stop it nor turn around. So all that we could do was to keep straight ahead. Upon asking him if he knew where we were going, he said That he did not, as he had never gone this far before. When we had gone what seemed to be an almost unlimited distance, we found ourselves nearing a large city. Upon reaching what appeared to be the heart of the city, our automobile came to a sudden ci)c rdiaj), ns stop. Being L-ry much bewildered and excited cner what had transpired in our unaccountable departure from Tap- pahannock, we did not recognize the once familiar place, Richmond. Suddenly a ery distinguished looking gentleman stepped up to us and said, Hello, fellows. Well, who could it be but our class president. Grant, who said That he had been very successful in business and was now president of the American Pharmaceutical Association. After talking with him for a short time he informed me that he was on his way to spend the day with our old friend Holmes, and asked me to accompany him. I couldn ' t refuse such an invitation, so I went with Grant, arriving about the middle of the afternoon at the mag- nificent home of our old chum Holmes, who had aban- doned pharmacy and gone into politics and was now mayor of Richmond. Led by a fair little hostess, I entered the drawing room, where I found, to my aston- ishment, not only Holmes, but two more of my former college mates. Clarence A. Cleveland, who was pro- prietor of the largest wholesale drug establishment in the South. And E -erett iNI. Garber, who was one of the most prominent real estate men in the country. So completely amazed was I over what seemed to be a re- union of old friends, that I began to make some other inquiries about this delightful, though unexpected, meet- ing. I found that all of them had chosen Richmond, after graduating from college, as the place to seek their good fortune, which resulted in that above described. I might ha e enjoyed a most delightful evening with my old classmates, but as soon as I had greeted them and learned this much about them, an old maid at my boarding place, in a mischie ous moment, handed me a handkerchief saturated with pepper, which I innocently suffed, to her great amusement and my misfortune. For in the -iolent fit of sneezing that followed, the whole scene melted in large pieces, like interrogation points, and I found myself, when a awoke, sitting in an arm- chair sneezing violently and very much bewildered.

The young men, having ar- rived in town the day before, timidly gathered at the college shortly before the noon hour, at which time Dr. Chris- topher Tompkins, our Dean, addressed the student-body and formally opened the session of 191 1- ' 12. Immediately after the opening exercises, we drifted into the office, where we were re- lived of one hundrd perfectly good bones. Though still feeling timed, meek, and ill at ease, yet we felt more at home, for we were then members of the student-body and a part of the college itself. Those first few days of college have made a lasting impression upon us all. We were indeed strangers in a strange land. Everything was new to us; we were com- pletely turned around. Some of us longed to be back on the farm, and wished that we could again attend school at Nubbin Ridge or Oak Hollow. But that feeling soon passed away, and in its place came a desire to know and to learn. We realized that we were facing a critical period in our lives, and that what we did during the next four years, would be an index for our life after college. Consequently, we began our task — the study of Medi- Will any of us ever forget our first lecture on Anat- omp, or will we ever forget how we felt when we filed, one by one, into that sanctum sanctorium, ' the bone- room, where Old Chris presided? We can see him now, as he stood beside a pile of bones, with an old towel in his hands, looking at us in disgust. We were Freshmen then, and Freshmen are just what their name implies, and Chris knew it. However, he issued a box of bones to each of us, and we proudly marched out, with an Anatomy in one hand and a box of bones in the other. We were then medical students indeed — so we thought. Do not let us forget our first appearance in Histology Lab. To some of us, a microscope was a thing of mystery, and we cautiously looked at them with suspicion. A hair looked the size of a finger, so, of course, we shoved a finger under the ' scope to see how that would look. Somehow, we were allowed to remain at college, in spite of our greenness and freshness. In due time, we settled down to our work. So absorbed in our studies did we become that we forgot we were allowed the privilege of having a president. In November we gath- ered together in Chemistry Hall and selected Brugh as our leader, with Blackwell as a partner. Under this administration, we passed through the transitional period 9 cijc r=uap, ns and emerged from college in June, feeling that we had accomplished something. On our return in September, we were what we now are- — Sophomores — which means wisely foolish. We are both. While some of us were mo ing around seeing the old men and looking over the incoming Freshmen and enjoying ourselves generally, others of us were in our rooms boning, preparing to take another shot at Whit ' s Organic or possibly reviewing a little Anatomy, having decided during the summer that we did not know enough about those subjects. College being open, and work having begun in earnest, we again met in Chemistry Hall to select our lead ers for the present year. Though we were all well pleased with the rule of Brugh and Blackwell, we are firm belie ' ers in one-term-adniinistrations. Wc selected Smith, Ct. . ., better known as Big Smith, for our president, with Schuller as ice-president. The mid-term agonies arc now over and we are preparing ourselves for the Sopho- more Anatomy examination. Taking the class as a whole, •ery few ha e been in- fected with the flunk bacillus. We hope that one of us will some day find a specific cure (one that does not re- quire too much personal energy or midnight oil) for this infection. By doing this, the class of nineteen hundred and fifteen will do down in history as having produced the man who changed a student ' s life from one of worry and trouble to one of peace and pleasure.

This is caused not by a lack of material, but by the necessity of selecting the few in- teresting facts which are best suited to help us recall in the days to come the varied ups and downs of our first year at the Medical College of Virginia. And now, my tolerant, as you have read my excuses, and have an idea of my purpose, I shall proceed to the class history. During the third week of September, 1912, some forty-six eager and determined young men enrolled them- selves upon the register as members of the 191 6 class. We had launched on our medical career, and said to the world, I have chosen my profession; it is a never- to-be-forgotten period in our lives. All were optimistic; all knew there was no rose-strewn road to an M. D., yet few knew the obstacles to be mounted before reaching the goal. However, fame is never won without a battle. We hope that the sweet results of adversity is not a myth. There were no lectures held during the first few days after matriculation; it is presumed we were given this time so that some of us could become accustomed to walking on stone pavements, and cure oursehes of cricks in the neck, caused by an inordinate desire to discover how many stories were in the taller buildings. It is said that some of the fellows spent much time in looking for the road to the Medical College, and shied at every passing street-car and automobile. One of our class ad- vertised in the Times-Dispatch for a good looking, odorless cadaver — must be fresh. [The reader ' s at- tention is called to the ingenuity of the writer; he writes nothing of the city-bred students, but portrays comic newspaper farmers. This is done that they may be- come great men just a little later in the story.] They were a strong and healthy bunch of lads; their hands were so brawny as to make difficult the manipulation of the delicate instruments in the laboratories — now their fingers are trained to the utmost delicacy. By a gradual process even the most unworldly have become sophis- ticated; and all of us have bad cases of bloated craniums, caused, no doubt, by the frequency with which we are dubbed Doc. The real birth of the class came early in October with the election of officers. It was then that several amateur politicians of the first rank made their presence felt. ClK I=Uap, ' 13 After iinich electioneering, many Howerv impassioned speeches of nomination, and several close -otes, the fol- lowing men were elected: M. A. Johnson, president; J. E. ' an Pelt, vice-president, and E. G. Johnson, treas- urer. With these gentlemen to lead us, we had every reason to make a record for the future Freshman classes. At another election. Bell and Ransome were appointed as editors on the X-Ray Staff; Brigman was made class poet, and by a mistake in judgment, Gregory was chosen class historian. The enviable record our school holds as a medical college has already stimulated a desire to do our best as a class, and as individuals, to keep it on the present high plane. The many great -ictories of M. C. V. on athletic fields (not Mexican bull-rings) could not help but foster early in the year a deep and lasting esprit de corps. Notably among the football victories was the overwhelming defeat of the University College of Medi- cine by the score of 13 to o. We are proud of the fact that for a Freshman class we have furnished a high quota of athletes. In fact, we have come across with eventhine asked of us — though the professors would hardly admit it. Judging from the many displays of knowledge during quizzes, the class of 19 16 will rank high. There have developed among us several noted sharks (know-it-all students) both in recitation and argument; indeed such is the quality of their intellect that on examination days several entirely new and origi- nal theories were propounded to the examiners. So far we ha -e lost oiil} two of our members; it is to be regretted that an automobile accident caused the resignation of Baker, and illness caused the withdrawal of Durham. We hope to see these men return next year. That we have not lost any of our students through their inability to appreciate the delicate odor of the dissecting hall is regarded as the sure sign of a strong class. Some of our worst moments were spent in the lecture rooms. When quizzes were due some of us shook with fright like reeds in a wind storm, and the chattering of our teeth gave a correct imitation of a snare drum. Dr. Whitfield never failed to get at least one poor student so excited and confused as to make him wish he were back on the farm ploughing up new ground. Quite a few of us can give experiences in which Dr. Whitfield ' s dry wit became tinged with personal satire; no doubt this was needed to purge us of superfluous self-love. Dr. Christian never failed to meet the class, or to call the roll, either. None could desire better lectures than those given by Drs. Wiggs and Hazen. There is only one fault we can find with Dr. Pop Taylor, and that is his strong dislike of women; some may deem this a virtue. It may be said that all of the professors gave us good advice, and also tuft exams. After the Xmas holidays the session rolled rapidly bv, and there began to loom up in the distance that glorious time when our members would be called Sopho- mores. However, before passing the first quadrant of CljC t=tlcip, ' 13 the medical cycle, we had to put up a bold front agauist professors and fight the first battle on Examination Field for our fond ambitions. Not one of us was sorry when vacation began; we love our work, of course, but poets claim there is a stronger love; then there was the circulating medium to be stored up for the second session ' s siege. This year ' s work has re ' ealed many things, chief among them the fact that we do not know quite so much as we thought after the first few months in college. (If this enormous and rapid decrease of knowledge goes on until our Senior year, it is hard to say whether the class will know anything or everything.) We are beginning to realize the seemingly unlimited possibilities of Medi- cine, its exacting requirements, and its power to benefit humanity ' s suifering. As time passes we are slowly but irresistibly drawn into the great brotherhood of body- healers. Never before did the class realize the grave responsibilities resting upon the shoulders of an M. D. Back in the dim recesses of our brain each of us is be- coming conscious to the great fact that Medicine is the noblest profession of them all! G. P. Gregory, Histmian. Cfc$tetric$ €iK r=Uciy, ns Jjparfes iFrom tije %Map 1. Don t measure a man for his best work; don ' t damn him for his worst work done. Rather measure him by his good daily average. 2. .Many surgical instruments slip into places not in- tended for them; many more work nicely on paper. 3. The best way to treat a fracture is to treat the indi- ' idual, then the fracture — the whole being worth more than any of its parts. 4. Always leave at least one hole to crawl through in making a prognosis in fracture cases, no matter how favorable the case may look. 5. A man may be well equipped to talk with, but d — n poor to work with. 6. It is curious to see how dreadful people think cutting the neck is, yet they mind not so much the thought of cutting off a leg or arm. 7. Thinking about anything of a worthy nature is good practice. 8. Nothing makes a man so lazy as the thought of a holiday. 9. Surgical reputations are not built on the aged. Thv age of 60 or 70 is unfavorable within its self. 10. Operations below the heart do not so well as those above the heart — in the aged. 11. Always think of the patient first; a surgeon should be a good doctor — and (vice versa). 12. The best post operative treatment for many patients is — ( ( ' llicm iilonc). 13. Too much care is worse than neglect. 14. What one sensible man will do, others are likely to do. 15. No one ever got much worth anything that was not paid for in risk — small risks and large gains ap- peal to any man — opposite rarely does. 16. Surgery is nothing more than applied Therapeutics. 17. There is no more sense in cutting out a spleen be- cause it is enlarged than there is in cutting oft a head because it is bald. iS. Don ' t tempt Divine Providence — we take chances enough even when careful. 19. Some people ha e only two rooms in the house — garret and cellar — always morose and gloomy. 20. Take the mother wit out of the world and it would not be much of a place to live in. Oje £=Uap, ' 13 i ' J3 2 1. A man with arterio sclerosis at twenty-five is not in as good condition as a man with arterio sclerosis at fifty-five, nor will he stand the next ten years as well. 22. A blood vessel thoroughly exposed is protected. 23. Best way to control hemorrhage is to avoid it. 24. Drainage is like some of the questions of Theology — it is changeable. 25. The man who says he never gets fooled is already fooled. 26. Tyros entering practice of medicine perform many operations in their minds, and are better men for it when emergency does arise. 27. These traces of things, these shadows of things, are no good from a clinical standpoint, as in say- ing trace of albumen. 28. It is no disgrace to be a fool now and then; bad habit to be a continuous fool. 29. Some patients die from acute Doctrltis. 30. Logical things are not always pratical things. 31. A fellow may differ from j ' ou and not be wrong, while you may be as near right as he. 32. A knife and a dose of salts may act the same — de- pleting circulation. 33. Really a doctor has a right to possess common sense. (By Z.JJ ' .JJ ' yclt.) eniorg anb iFrestmen Freshmen look forward with gladness To time when school will be through.

One has only to get a glimpse of the internes at Memorial Hospital to realize the abo ' e saying. Of the class of IQ12 at M. C. . were four young men, who, not satisfied with the training and learning received within the classic walls of the college, sought refuge at this hos- pital, in quest for further kno, •ledge. Bear, Stryker, Ockene and Wilkinson compose the quartet whose duty is to relieve suffering humanity. Mention must be made, however, that their chief assistant in this cause is Ike Goldman. These young graduates answer their call to duty with all the pomp and glory characteristic of their M. D. ' s. Dr. Stryker has quite distinguished himself on account of the ease with which he puts others to sleep. As an anaes- thetist, he is an expert. With the patients he is an impos- ing figure, and with the nurses he is a lady ' s-man. Dr. Bear is quite familiar to all. (The nurses know him not?) To the patients he ' s a magnet. He may be found at all hours? He is e er-watchful at all operations, to see that they are performed properly. Even at a distance Dr. Ockene ni.ay be easily recognized bv his unbuttoned white coat and prominent red necktie. Whene ' er he is needed the call must be sounded two hours in advance. In order to properly perform the laboring duties of an interne, C ' ckene sees that he gets proper diet, consisting of hard-boiled eggs. Dr. Ockene -ery seldom leaves the hospital, being under the observant eye of Miss ' an Vort. The big chief, Dr. Wilkinson, towers abo e all. He knows of e ery move in the hospital, and Is on the job to see that ex ' ervthing is carried out to the letter. While there Is no monetary remuneration for the Interneship, the knowledge and hospital training received will more than manv times repay for the time and energy consumed. Each bids fair to a successful career, and with the splendid corps of nurses in training, no interne need leave until he has joined the ranks of the benedicts. R. P. Stkvker. M. , J. WILKINSDX, M. D. Cljc r=Rap, ' 13 ' JSan ' Man that is born of woman is of few days and full of microbes. He Cometh forth like a Hower, but is soon wilted by the winds of ad ersity and scorched by the flames of perplexity. Sorrow- and headache follow him all the days of his life. He hoppeth from his bed in the morning and his foot is pierced by the cruel tack of disappointment. He ploddeth forth to his daily toil and his cuticle is punctured by the malignant nettles of exhaustion. He sitteth himself down to rest at noonday, and is lacerated in his nether anatomy by the pin of disaster. He walketh thru the streets of the city in the pride and glory of his manhood, and slippeth on the banana peel of misfortune and unjointeth his neck. He smoketh the cigar of content, but, lo ! it explodeth with a loud noise, for it was loaded. Behold, he glideth down the bannister of life and findeth it strewn with splinters of torture. He is stung by the mosquitoes of annoyance by day and his frame is gnawed by the bedbugs of affliction by night. What is man but the blind worm of fate? Seeing that his days are numbered by cycles of pain and his years by seasons of mourning. Behold, he is im paled upon the hook of desolation, and is swallowed up by death in the fathomless ocean of time and is remembered no more. In his infancy he runneth o er with orms and colic, and in his old age he groaneth with rheumatism and ingrowing toe-nails. He marryeth a cross-eyed woman because her father hath a bank account, and findeth that she is ridden with hysteria and belie ' eth in witches. What is man but a carbuncle on the neck of existence? Yea, but a tumor on the back of fate? He playeth the races and staketh his substance on the brown mare because he hath recei -ed a tip. Ihe sorrel gelding with a bald face winncth by a neck. Behold, he runneth for office and the dead beat ptiUeth him ever and anon and then voteth against him. He exalteth himself among the people and swellcth with pride, but when the otes are counted he lindeth that he was not in it. A political enemy lieth in wait for him at the market place and walketh around him crowing like inito a cock. For, behold, his pious friend is full of guile and run- neth over with deception. Prom the cradle to the grave man gi eth his alms to him that smiteth him. - ' ' V£f !S t!

We attribute the great success of the 1912 season to his intricate knowl- edge of the finer points. His record as a manager cannot be surpassed. Capt. D. L. Elder Half Back. Otherwise known as Blondie. Throughout the sea- eon Capt. Elder has displayed a fighting spirit that makes him invaluable to any college team in the coun- try. Elder has had a vast amount of football experi- ence, having played prep, school ball for four years and also on the University of North Carolina eleven. Both by precept and example he has spurred his team into stemming the tide of many a hard-fought battle. Impervious to injury, he has rounded out a football career and has kept his work up to its hi,gh standard, e en to the last play of the last game of the season. 146 €bc I Uap, ' 13 W ' alkkr Tachlc.

He has been in the thickest of every light. hut has ne er shown up with e en a scratch that would mar his good looks. A good, steady, reliable player, of w horn it may be said that the more important the ;-, ' ame the better he played. Jim came to us from the University of Minnesota, where he played for two years. The last year he was elected by Walter Camp as All-American tackle. Walker has been elected to the captaincy of the team of 1913. and a better man to lead M. C. ' . to victory cannot be found. H.SRDV Full Back. Tom. the big full back, will never be forgotten in the football circles at the Medical College of Virginia, for ' twas this husky brute who did more than any one else in ign toward burying the colors of the Uni- versity College of Medicine, and by so doing bringing honor and joy to every member of the faculty and student-body of the Old School. Hardy not only dis- tinguished himself in this game, but has been a tower of strength for M. C. V. in whatever contest he has entered. This makes his third year, and it is with much pleasure that the students look forward to his return next season. Cfte t=Rap, ns 147 Johns Half Back. An old Hampden-Sidney star and one who, while a Medico, has played up to the illustrious football record which he established at his academic Alma Mater. Johns has played a consistent game all through his career at M. C. ' .. and when not playing himself, has been teaching others the gridiron game, having suc- cessfully coached two championship teams for a local prep, school. Frank has been accused of being the handsomest man on the team and. perhaps, not with- out reason for the pulcherritude of this young doctor is equal to that of the immortal Apollo himself. Heiigpeth Tackle. Known to his friends as Handsome Harry. A brilliant scientific player and the hardest kind of work- er in victory or defeat. He has played in e ery game this season, and his superior cannot be found on a gridiron in the country. Shortly before football season began Hedgpeth suffered a broken leg, but this sturdy North Carolinian is made up of that grit which does not mind a little thing like a broken bone, and came out on the field to win or die in the attempt. Hedg- peth ' s gridiron career began at the University of North Carolina, and he was a letter man at that institution for two successive years, being picked as Ail-American tackle the latter one. €l)r X ' Uav.

No, not Irish, but as good a fighter as any Irishman e er dared to be. He has been a steady worker, said little, done much, and has shown that quality of stick-to-it-ive-ness which, as every one knows, is a prime factor in football pla ' ing. Mike is also some backheld man. and in all probability will make the 1913 team an excellent halfback. Cbc T=Ulap, ' 13 I ' UnCKWKLL Guard Another example of what perseverence will do.

K H Jake I-ioblee comes to us from Staunton, and alth(;)Ugh he claims some relationship with President Wilson, only his nea r friends can be made to believe it. Whether he is related to the Chief Executive or not, Jake is some gridiron warrior, and is at home in any place in the line. Roblee is a second-year man, and can be depended upon to hold down a position in the line for the next two years. Cftc I=Hap, ' 13 Ayers • ■ Guard. He came from Hillsville.

Xevertheless, the game was a good one, M. C. X. winning 12 to o. Our next game, with Washington and Lee LIniversity at Lexington, although 7 to o in fa or of the Lexing- tonians, will long be remembered b ' both teams. This might be termed the real initial game of the season, and displayed the fact that the iNL C. V. eleven of 19 12 was a formidable opponent for any university team in the country. On the following Saturday we lined up against the Richmond Light Infantry Blues on our home battle- grounds and administered to the soldier boys one of the most decisive defeats since the days of 6 the final score being 14 to o. October 12th found the AL C. Y. ele -en down in the Tar Heel State, prepared to do battle with A. M Col- lege at Raleigh. While this was the one contest of the season that was totally devoid of all spectacular plays, and ended with the A. M. boys holding the larger end of the score — 7 to o — yet this game might be termed the turning point in the career of the ' SI. C. V. ele -en, for from this time henceforth it was destined to become one of the strongest aggregations in the South. i L C. V. 66, William and Mary o, tells the tale of the battle at Williamsburg on Saturday, October 19th. On November 2d the team reached the heighth of its glory, for on this ne ' er-to-be-forgotten day we defeated Virginia Polytechnic Institute in no uncertain manner; the Medicos carried away the honors by the score of 10 to o. Not satisfied with our first achievement in North Caro- lina, we journeyed back to the Tar Heel State on No- vember 9th to meet Wake Forrest College on their home grounds. And while not playing up to the standard set at V. P. I., nevertheless, we were able to defeat the Btip- fists 23 to 14. The last and most important game of the season was played with the University College of Medicine Novem- Cfte I=Rap, ' 13 I S3 ber 15th at Richmond. While the U. C. AI. eleven had not the reputation of being the strongest aggregation that we faced during the season, yet they put up a fight which was quite unlocked for, and it demanded every ounce of energy to stem the onslaughts of our old-time rivals. The game, which will be the last between these two institu- tions on account of their recent consolidation, resulted in a 13-to-o victory for M. C. ' . We have due reason to be proud of the M. C. V. team of 19 1 2, and it is the X-Ray ' s earnest hope and wish that the teams of posterity will be equal, if not superior, to the one of this year. {By Cii plain Elder.) Scores. M. C.

We were im fortunate in not having a coach. so the responsibility of selecting a team from the many applicants fell upon Captain Lewis, who was also captain in 191 1, and who has been elected to the cap- taincy again. The team was composed of placers who had starred at literary colleges. Each class of the medical department was well repre- sented, as well as the dental and pharmacy departments. We were somewhat unfortunate in having to cancel several games on account of rainy weather, but won most of the games. man ' of which were plaved under great disad antage. The season opened in Richmond « ' ith .McCiuire ' s L ni- ' ersity, and defeat at the onset only made the fellows more determined to win the remaining games. Considering the fact that such little time had been spent in practice, we could not expect much at the be- ginning of the season. Richmond . cademy came next, from whom we won by a large score. Defeat at the hands of the Union Theological Semi- nary. b - a ery small score, was a bitter pill, consider- ing the fact that our now famous Doc Ayers struck out eighteen of the preachers. On Easter Monday wc left for Farm ille. where an easy victory over the Farm ille Amateurs resulted. Since the ' irginia Christian College team had dis- banded we were unable to play our scheduled game with them, but succeeded in getting a game with the Lynch- burg ( ' irginia League) team, which defeated us. In this game our little second sacker, ' oung, from Lynch- burg, distinguished himself by knocking a homer with the bases full. The next day Doc Ayers held Rantlolph-Macon Academy, for seven innings, ttithout a run and with only one hit to their credit. Captain Lewis pitched the lew remaining innings and did equally as well. The following day we had ictory snatclicd from us in the last inning by Roanoke College. Doc Ayers had done heroic work for eight innings, allowing only one hit in the last inning, with the score 2 to o in our fa or. a long hit by Roanoke, aiul some bad judgment on our part netted them three runs, just enough to win. Cfte I=Uap, ' 13 155 So with four days of our trip gone and with only two victories out of four games played, we determined to win the two remaining games. The one with Staunton Military Academy resulted in 6 to 4 in our favor. The other, with Fishburne Military Academy, was the most exciting game of the season. Doc Ayers was in fine trim, with eighteen strikeouts to his credit, and one run tallied against him. The score remained i to i until the end of the last inning. At this juncture two of our men were passed and Smoot clouted the spheroid to the left garden, said spheroid intimately adhering to the e ergreen adorning the summit of a tall oak, which had ne er before been disturbed by the presence of a baseball. This thriller caused the Fishies to bite the dust to the tune of defeat. Three days later we started our most important series with our ancient rival, Brother Sawbones, of the U. C. M. Much to our discontent, they carried the first game home, and we were feeling the bluest we had felt during the season. The reaction of this single defeat spurred the boys to their topmost notch, and as they descended from said notch they took the remaining two games in no uncertain manner and won the series. We would here give credit to the Woman ' s College girls, who turned out to the last father ' s daughter of them and showed their loyalness to the M. C. . by cheering our boys to the top of the goal. The scene next shifts to the battle-tield of The William and Mary College, where we again credited oursel -es with a 4-to-o ictory; thus endeth the season of 1912. The season of 19 13 began with Richmond College at home. The game will long be remembered by both institu- tions as the cleanest exhibition of scientific baseball that the fans of Richmond ha e witnessed in many a day. The Spiders wove their web, but, lo and behold! the fly escaped and took the largest part of the web along with them. This is how it happened: Ayers topped the mound for JM. C. V.; Dixon for Richmond College. Up to the ninth inning the contest was one of the prettiest pitchers ' battles of the season. At this stage Richmond tallied three runs. With a man on third and one run needed to tie the score, Doc Ayers tightened up and fanned the next two batters in succession, M. C. V. winning six to fi -e. {Bx JSItDiagcr Barber. ) i;6 Che r Rap, ' 13 To The Medical College of Virmnia. II. III. Our grand okl M. C ' .. Best med. school in Di.xie, Of thee I sing.

Lp to about three years ago I ha e not had tne slightest concep- tion what an important question this is. I ha ' e not thought tiiat it concerns — not exaggerating, from titty to sixty per cent, of the population ot this country. 1 was ne ' er aware of the fact that such enormous quantities of coc.;-cola — millions of gal- lons — arc being sold annually in the United States. It was not until the summer of 1909 that I had the opportunity to face this problem through mv intimate connection with a well patronized soda fountain, where I finally made my observations and, to my great surprise, I noticed that, at least, se ' enty-live per cent, of the cus- tomers approaching a soda fountain for a cold drink, — men, women, and even children, — call for a coca-cola. I have inquired at other soda fountains in this and other cities and got information of a ery similar nature. Some dealers, very prominent d uggists and confection- ers, told me that, within the past few years, their sales on coca-cola have increased so that it is actually useless for them to handle any other drinks st their fountains, as the main bulk of their trade demands the genuine Atlanta product only. And, notwithstanding that tlu- consumption of this , f ' drink is so great, the manufacturers still continue to ad- N ' ertise in the most extensive and inexhaustible manner. Wherever you go — in street cars, theatres, trains, depots, streets, suburbs — you can see large signs: Drink Coca- Cola. It is invigorating, refreshing. It relea es fatigue. Whatever vou read — daily newspaper, magazine, or medical literature — your attention is called to some form of ad -ertisement of coca-cola. So, through this medium, new ictims are added to the l( ng list of old ones, and the latter are constantly reminded of the existence of this Fatigue Reliever — to the greatest satisfaction of the manufacturers, who reap a heax ' v hnr p -.t and accumulate fortunes. Now, the question arises, wh should this drink be so extensively used, and what is ts virtue that causes its widespread and universal demand? Coca-cola has been analyzed liy many chemists, among whom was Dr. W. H. Taylor, Professor of Chemistry and Toxicolog) ' in the Medical College of ' irginia, and all unanimousK came to the conclusion that the effect of this be -erage depends largely :ind principally upon the caffeine, which is its chief alkaloidal constituent. The quantity of caffeine in a seven-ounce glass of coca-cola has been estimated to -ary from one to two grains. So that the effect of an average glass of this drink ought to €i)t £=Rap, ' 13 163 be equivalent to that of an ordinary cup of coffee. This assertion is also made by the manufacturers but it does not seem to hold good, according to my observation. I admit that the effects of coffee and coca-cola are very similar, but in the latter they are more pronounced; one glass of coca-cola equals, undoubtedly, to two or three cups of coffee, according to my experience. And I can explain this by the fact that coffee is usually taken at meals, when the stomach contains a greater or lesser quantity of food, which acts as a dilutent and inter- feres with the rapid absorption of the drug; consequently, the effects of small amounts of coffee are not well marked. But, on the other hand, coca-cola is usually taken when the stomach is empty or partially empty; so that it is not diluted like coffee, and the absorption is more rapid and hence its more pronounced action. So long as it has been conclusively decided that caffeine is the important factor in coca-cola, I think it is worth while to consider here briefly the pharmacology or action of this alkaloid. Caffeine is a general stimulant or, more plainly speak- ing, a whip to every organ, tissue and cell of the body. According to text-book description, based chiefly upon experiments and observations on dogs, caffeine stimulates the nervous, muscular, digestive and, practically, every system of the canine anatomy so that, under the influence of this drug, his special senses are more acute; his cardiac action is increased and pulse accelerated, the renal func- tion augmented, etc. Ail these facts ha -e been learned by pharmacologists from observations on the canine economy, where one, two or three doses of the drug had been used and where no subective symptoms can be learned. But our prime aim is to know what effect a certain drug has on the human system and nni; on the lower animals, and, with this object in iew, I determined to study the effect of coca-cola on the human system directly, as I had the most splendid opportunities during the past three years while dispensing coca-cola in large quantities to many thousands of people. In the beginning I found this matter greatly confusing, on account of the conflicting statements given to me by -arious individuals; but later I took it up more syste- matically, as I came to the conclusion that certain points must be taken in consideration: How much of the drink an individual uses? How long he has been in the habit of using it? (This is important, because a certain amount of tolerance is gradually acquired by the continued use of this beverage.) And, also, whether the individual has been habitually using coffee? For the above reasons, I decided to make my obser- vations upon the various indi iduals separately; but as this would prove to be an almost endless task, I have, in order to facilitate matters, divided my cases into three classes. (i). In this class I took up u series of se ' eral scores of people. Here I included only {n) those indi ' iduals who neither used coca-cola nor coffee, and {b) those who i( 4 Oc X ' -l ay, ' 13 did not use coca-cola, but used cortee in moderate amounts (one or two cups a day at meals) . I first carefully inquired into the history of ex ' ery nidi- -idua] in this class, and, when I was thoroughly con inced that he, or she. was not in the habit of using this be -erage, T offered as a sample one or two glasses of coca-cola, free of charge, which was usually accepted. Some knew the character of the drink, while to others 1 did not re eal its name until some time afterwards. The dose given to each, as [ said, was one or two glasses, ordinarily called coca-cola glasses, measuring seven ounces, containing each from one to one and a half ounces of the original syrup diluted with carbonated or soda water, and being equi ' alent to about two grains of caffeine. On the next day the majority informed me that they suffered from more or less insonmia, restlessness, cardiac distress, usually in the form of palpitation. This was especially marked in those individuals who were not in the habit of using coffee, and who received fourteen ounces of coca-cola, which equals to about three or four grains of caffeine. These were unable to sleep at all the following night after the recipe: they felt every contraction and heard every beat of the heart, transmitted through the chest wall and pillow to the -wr. Some suffered from marked diuresis and were compelled to get up se -eral times during that night. Some were annoyed by se ere intracranial throbbing, abnormal pulsation of the carotids. temporals and, also, bv periodical twitchings of the skele- tal, or -oluntary, muscles, especially of the facial. In those who were using coffee in moderate amounts — subdix ision h — the effects were not as pronounced. They did not suffer from a true insomnia, but woke up e -ery now and then, tossed about in bed and felt uncomfortable and restless for some inexplainable, to them, reason. The insomnia in these cases is, undoubtedly, due to the stimulting effect of the caffein on the ner -ous system, as well as on the cardio-vascular system, the latter interfer- ing with the cerebral anaemia, which, according to recent iews, is an important factor in the physiology and etiol- ogy of sleep. In the 2d class of cases I included those individuals who were regularly taking from two to four drinks of coca-cola every day. After thorough inx ' cstigation, I found out that these people are unable to give up the use of this harmless beverage. They do not feel right, they say, when they fail to get the usual dose; they feel weak, depressed, and are unable, they think, to complete the day ' s work. In- somnia is not marked, or entirely absent, in these cases, but various gastric symptoms arc complained of. In the 3rd, or the last class, I include those cases who can be properly and rightfully called coca-cola fiends or habituates. These individuals take as many as a dozen drinks a day, or moi-e. I have know these by the scores. They are usually of the better c ' ass of wage-earners or Cljc I=Uap, ' 13 165 professional men, who ha e to io a great deal of mental, but very little of physical work. In course of time they develop marked cases of indigestion, anaemia, and various forms of nervous symptoms, especially tremor. I found cardiac arrhythmia in almost e ' ery case I examined. Conclusions. 1. Coca-cola possesses powerful stimulating properties, due to the caffeine it contains, ar.d ought to be used as a therapeutic agent onlv, and not ns a beverage. 2. It is capable of producing coca-cola habit just as much as other drugs, for the reason that the stimulation is followed by depression, which calls for a repetition of the dose. 3. A certain amount of tolerance is gradually acquired, and the dose must be increased for the desired effects. 4. The prolonged use of this beverage causes, at first, functional derangements and, later, pathologicaL changes in the various organs of the body, or it, at least, predis- poses the individual cells of the vital organs to disease by the depression, which is the consequence of over-stimula- tion. ( It is a well-established physiological law that stimula- tion of a cell is a mild form of irritation; and if the latter is too strong, or even mild, but continued for a long period of time, the cell will degenerate, due to exhaustion, and death will result.) V For all the abo e reasons, coca-cola is a decidely harmful drink, and its use should be prohibited or, at least, restricted. H. Hertzberg. M. C. v., Jan. 30, 19 13. i66 €t)c I=Rap, ' 13 Duodenal Ulcer IE earliest history of duodenal ulcer, in medical literature, is a case reported by Tra ' ers, of London, in 1817. Ten vears ago ulcer of the duodenum was looked upon as a rare disease, and its recognition during life was believed to be hardly possible. We now know that this disease is common, and its discovery in the majontv of cases presents no great difficulty to the trained physician. Through generations of text-books the main symptoms ha -e been ascribed to a functional, and not an organic, condition. The symptoms which the older physicians be- lie ed to be due to derangement of the function of the stomach the surgeon has shown to be caused by changes in the texture of the stomach, duodenum, gall bladder, or appendix, and among all the forms of organic disease, duodenal ulcer stands out the plainest. P.- THOI.OGV: Duodenal ulcer, which has been the cause of protracted and recurrent symptoms, is always visible from the out- side of the intestine. , is palpable, and, therefore, is al- ways demonstrable. The same portion of the duodenum is almost constantly attacked by the ulcer. Statistics show that 95 per cent, of cases are situated in the first portion of the gut; that is, within one and one-half inches of the pylorus. The more constant position for an ulcer is o)i the anterior v.: of the duodenum. In the early stage the ulcer is circular, the outer surface is white and presents the appearance of a scar. In some cases the ulcer seems red and ascular and mottled with bright, blood-stained spots. In older ulco-s the base is pearly white, thick and puckered to the center, which is depressed and hard and shows a crater-like cavity from the inside. The inner surface shows a clean, punched-out appearance, the sides thick and indurated. In long stand- ing cases the size and thickness of the ulcer are greatly increased. The whole breadth of the anterior wall of the duodenum may be occupied by a dense, white, raised, fibrous mass. Puckering occurs with radiations toward the center of the ulcer when a mass of tissue contracts. Cicatricial bands may be formed around the duodenum with narrowing of its lumen. The contractions may in- voh-e other structure, as the bile ducts and portal veins. As the ulcer increases in age it in ' ades more deely the wall of the duodenum. The thickening in the base of the ulcer, the thick, white deposit in and beneath the serosa, and the omental adhesions growing firmly to the outer Cfte I=Rai?, ' 13 167 side of the bowel are all evidences of the measures taken to prevent the complete penetration of the wall of the gut. In spite of them, the ulcer may break through all the coats and a perforation of the intestines result. The liver, gall bladder and pancreas may be found in the floor of the ulcer, and adhesions between these organs and the duode- num results : Blood vessels may be eroded and fatal hemorrhage result. The arteries are thick with rigid walls, owing to the rigid vessel and the unyielding ulcer, neither contraction nor retraction is possible, therefore, profuse hemorrhage results. In a few instances the larger vessels, as the hepatic and aorto have been perforated. When the base of the ulcer is destroyed, a fistula may be formed between the duodenum and any vicus to which it has become adherent, fistuls bet veen the gall bladder and duodenum being the most common one. JNlalignacy engrafted upon a duodenal ulcer is rare, although a few cases have been reported where the ulcer was situated close to the pylorus. Causes of Ulcer. The true cause of duodenal ulcer at the present time is a disputed question. The old theory of self-digestion of a circumscribed portion of the bowel is no longer considered to be the cause. I believe the modern opinion is that ulcer is due to infection, and this 1 will try to show as far as possible. Burns, uremia, syphillis, and infections with the tubercle bacilli may be mentioned as causes. The way burns and uremia act in causing ulcer is not exactly known, but it must be by the action of toxins. The duodenum is now thought at times to have the function of excretion, and should this be the case the toxins, which are present in the above condition being eliminated by the duodenum, would have an irritating effect upon the struc- ture of the gut with a lowered resistance of the tissue and the bacteria, which are always present, have a good place to grow and multiply. In most all cases, if proper search is made, I beli eve a focus of infection can be found. This is usually the appendix, bile tract, or intestines. Ul- cerations may be caused by toxic absorption from the appendix or intestines. The surgeons have shown that in two-thirds of the cases of ulcer there is an associated dis- eased appendix. The appendix, which is very often the seat of chronic inflammation, becomes permable to bac- teria. These bacteria, of which the colon bacilli are the most common, pass through the appendix and mav be carried to the liver and produce a chronic choliocystitis, hich in turn is an iritating focus to the duodenum. This infected bile passing into the duodenum acts as an irritant, and mav be the starting of an ulceration. From the fact that an attack of ulcer is frequently brought on in a few minutes by chills; and the close asso- ciation of chronic appendicitis and gall bladder infections 1 think it highly probable that duodenal ulcer is due to infection. €he T Uiip, ns Sv.Ml ' TUMS. There are few diseases whose symptoms appear in such a delinite and well-ordered sequence as is obserxed in doudenal ulcer. The disease mav be acute or chronic, the latter ariety being the more common, and the one to which most of the symptoms given below apply to. Ulcer is found more common between the age of twenty-fi ' e and forty-five years, and males seem to be more frequently affected than females. The patient may date his complaint from an early period in his life. The earliest history the patient gives is that he first had a sense of weight, oppression or dis- tention in the epigastrum, after meals. Later, the patient begins to notice regular pain occurring from two to six hours after meals If the meals are soft and fluid in char- acter, the pains occur e arlier than when solid food is taken. As a rule, the pain comes on gradually, and grad- ually increases, becoming more severe, and being accom- panied by a sense of fullness and distention, with eructa- tions of bitter fluid or of gas, which gi es temporary relief. The inter -al between the taking of food and the onset of the pain is constant or clock-like from day to day. At first the pain may only be present after one meal in the day, usually the heaviest meal, but as the disease ad- vances the pain follows every meal. The time of pain after taking food will depend upon the kind of food taken (solid or liquid), and upon the physiologic activity of the pylorus and duodenum. Pain in these cases is very com- mon early in the morning, the patient often taking some kind of food to bed with him to relieve the pain. The pain may be described as burning, gnawing or boring in char- acter. It is momentarily relieved by belching. Some- times there may be slight regurgation of food, which has a bitter or acid taste. The pain is usually situated in the epigastrum, and is often relieved by pressure, but it may strike through the back or pass around the right side. Occasionally the pain is cramp like in character. Throughout the course of the pain, the patient has a good appetite. Frequently he eats less than he feels he could enjoy, because he has learned excess in eating increases his pain. The pain is usually in or near the epigastrum, and aries in location, duration anil intensity, from the extent and depth of the ulcer, X ' omiting is ery infrequent. It is rarely present until stenosis de ' elops, and this occurs in the later stages, when the ulcer has headed. Dilation of the stomach with motor incompetence and stasis results in the later stages of the disease. The term hyperchlohydria, which is described in text- books as a neuroses, is now believed to be due most always to ulcer. Persistant recurrent hyperchlohydria is duode- nal ulcer. A symptom which sometimes appears early, but com- monly late, is that of hemorrhage, appearing either in the stools or in the omit. It is more of a complication than Oc I=Uap, ' 13 169 a symptom. It is probable that a certain degree of hemorrhage occurs in many cases of duodenal ulcer with- out being recognized. If the fsces are constantly exam- ined for occult blood during the stage of ulceration, it can most always be found. An attack of ulcer may be brought on by exposure to cold or getting the feet wet, by worry or overwork. The attacks are especially prone to come during the months of December, January and February. The attacks vavy in length from two to three weeks up to sexeral months. A chill may bring on an attack in a few minutes. The most important symptom being the pain coming on at regular intervals, after meals, and relieved by food and alkalies. The most characteristic feature enabling a diagnosis of chronic duodenal ulcer to be made is the periodicity of the symptoms and their recurrence from time to time in at- tacks, their complete abeyance in the intervals. The symptoms given above are the ones most fre- quently met with in ulcer, although some few cases may present a different train of symptoms. M. C. v., Jan. 13, 1913. E. L Caudill. The above is the first prize article awarded by Dr. Murat Willis of a series of articles writte7i on duodenal ulcer. Quite a number of the students contested for the prizes with the following results: E. L. Caudill, first prize — H. Hertzherg, second prize — S. S. Conner, third prize. We iL ' ish to thank Dr. Willis for these prizes as they served as a stimulus to the subscribers ivhen most needed. €i)C f=Rap, ns J. Ralph Macauley J. Ralph Macauley, popularly known as Mac to his many friends among the faculty and students of the Metlical College of Virginia, was born at Union Ridge, N. C. He recei ed his early education in the schools of that State, afterwards coming to Richmond to take a course of commercial training in a business college. He was then appointed assistant to the secretary of the Medical College of ' irginia, which position he has heltl for ten i,ears. During that time he has worked so faithfulh ' for the success ol the institution and for the welfare of the students that he was selected to be the secretary of the New Medical College of ' irginia. I lis untiring deA-otion to duty, his bright, cheerful disposition, and his ne er tailing responses to all appeals (from student or instructor) has won for him the title of a friend m need. Cf)c I=Uap, ' 13 History of North Carolina Club HEX it was rumored through our school that a College Annual would be gotten out, and the clubs and societies had begun to think of representation, the numerous sons of the Old North State at once con- ceived the idea, out of State pride of rep- resentation. To this end some of the more zealous ones at once took hold, and due was gi en to the Carolinians, through the College bulletin board, that on February 4th a meeting would be held for the purpose of organizing ourselves into a club to fitly represent us. At this meeting we selected our con- genial friend, Steele, of Turnersburg, Iredell county, to the presidency of the club by unanimous vote, realizing that he was a Carolinian of the deepest dye and always willing to put his State in front when the opportunity pre- sented itself. The next ranking officer, vice-president, came before the meeting, and it was easy to decide who should hold this office, when we recall how gallantly he wore the Blue and White at the several meets on Thanksgiving Day in this city, when our beloved University measures wits and strength with its time-honored ri -al, the Uni -ersity of Virginia, in their annual gridiron contest. This was no other than our friend Hamlin, of Durham. Little Elder {in contradistinction to his brother, familiarly known as Big Elder), of Trinity, whose loyalty to his native State has never waned, was fitly selected to the important office of secretary and treas- urer. Next came the poet, historian and prophet, in which we tried to find men suited for their respective work. As our poet we believe we found one second only to the immortal Tennyson — E. S. Clark, of Clarkton. A historian should be one of broad mind, willing to give credit where credit is due, but to reserve such things that might prove deli- terious to the history he would write of our club. This office was at last gi ' en to Hedgpeth, of Fayetteville, on whom we recognized some of the earmarks of a historian. At least his name might be construed to read Ridpath, of worldwide fame as a historian. As a prophet, one must see with his imagination the outcome of each of us, to be arri -ed as possibly by our zealousness in college work, or in outbursts of loyalty to our Mother State. In this we feel satisfied we selected the right man, who will deal honestly and fairly in this task. We could find no greater mind, nor one more suited to such a task, than E. L. Caudill, of Alleghany county. Now that we have submitted for your approval those whom we selected to lead our band, this work is most com- Cftc t=Rtip, ' 13 plete, except to speak of the enthusiasm with which the bovs took hold, and it really made one feel glad to know that he was being nimibered among the Down Homers. I would refrain from closing this brief history without mentioning the hospitality with which we were receixed bv the good people of Richmond, and we can erify the statement that ' irginia is the mother of Southern hospi- tality, and being always worthy wearers of the colors of good old Medical College of ' irginia, and if for ' io other reason. « e could not help being grateful to irginia, who fosters this beloved institution, and we hope that all alumn;e of this school, hailing from Carolina. «ill at least not bring discredit to her name, but, on the other hand. pro -e themselves as beacon lights to shine long after their college days have passed.

FOR a quarter of a century this young man has been calling lectures at the Medi- cal College of Virginia something like the following: Partners to your places, Rats in the roof, Pathology in the Chem- istry Hall, Sick babies (Pediatrics) in the middle room, Little Miss Jennie (Gynecology) in the lower room, when he comes, Fruits and flowers (Botany) in the Pharmacy Lab., Histology, Bacteriology, Dogology, Frogology and all the other ologies in the laborat-ory right now. If you want to step on the big toe of his right foot, just say something against the Baptists or Chesterfield county, especially the former, the water bugs. He is as strong for the Baptists as the smell in Chris Baker ' s department on a June after- noon. The mere mention of Chesterfield county will make him smile like a horse eating briars. In the year ' 52 he lost his right foot in the Battle of Skinquarter. From all accounts, he undoubtedly made his mark in Chesterfield county. Even until this day you will find on practically every floor in Skinquarter neigh- borhood an imprint resembling a new moon, which was cut there by the iron band on his peg leg. This A ' as long before rubber was known in that section of the country. Mr. William T. Ford was born at Skinquarter, Chesterfield county, on October 8, 1844. At the age of eight years he had the misfortune to lose his right foot. The amputation was performed under difficult and trying circumstances. Ether and chloroform were practically unknown at that time, and the principal anesthetic employed in his case was milk toddy. He came to the Medical College of Virginia on June 18, 1885. He has been in the hands of doctors more or less all his life, and, notwithstanding this fact, has managed to keep the other foot out of the gra e. Mr. Ford has served the Medical College of Virginia faithfully and efficiently for twenty-eight years. He is held in high regard by both faculty and students.
