Benedict B. De Phillips t Newark, N. I. Columbia A.B. l St. Elizabeth Hospital l-lis freshman year began with a long and weary daily trek from Newark to New York, and later was followed by a perman- ent residence in this city. Through all these hardships Ben resolutely adhered to a single policy: in order to know a sub- ject, no detail of that subject could be overlooked. That meant work, but not discouragementy for that small physique of his hid a heart of overwhelming cour- age and intensity. And so through the years we were priv- ileged to witness the struggle for knowledge, and the triumph of this little gentleman over the barriers set before the modern medical student. Too, the sight of Little Bennie and Big F rank was an amusing specta- cle-but the friendship of the two was permanent and enduring. Their partnership was ideal: so too, was the friendship of all whom Ben contacted. Seventy seven

And nature compromised 'twixt cx good fellow and cr recluse. Lest one should fail to recog- nize the result of an admixture of a good fellow and a recluse, let us hasten to say that Don comprises the abilities of a leader, a humorist and a scholar. His lot has not been that of a son of wealth. Rather has he had to strive, seemingly without end, to fulfill his ambition to follow in his father's footsteps. Don is one of those rare chaps who never sees aught but good in the world. His duties are ex- ecuted in a remarkably jovial spirit and with finesse. . No single community has the enviable right to call him its own, although Brown University, Somerville, N. I., and Mamoron- eck, N. Y. have primary claim. Perhaps it is his love of travel which has endowed in him a personality long to be remem- bered by his fellow students. Rhode Island . Homeopathic Hospital Seventy-six Mamaroneck, N. Y. Brown Ph.B.

William McKinley Memorial Hospital Trenton, N. I. He hath a head to contrive and a tongue to persuade. A daily immigrant from the southermost portion of New York City CStaten lslandl, lim has daily journeyed to Flower in pursuit of medical knowledge. Close application to medical texts, as well as to clinical work, has given him a deep under- standing of medicine in many of its phases. His ability to remember details -even seemingly unimportant ones-together with a faculty for inspiring confidence, foretells a successful diagnostician and physician. Furthermore, his charm and genial nature are component parts ofa personality that is envied by many. I-Iis future is not to be doubted. I-Ie will chart his own course to success and never will he tarry long from that road. And who knows but that in later days we will read of his accomplishments in the leading medical journals of this country. - Seventy-eight James T. Dodge Staten Island, N. Y. Columbia A.B. Alpha Sigma.
