the best of modern civilization within his own experienceg he has resources and enthusiasm and ability to hold young followers by the warmth of the mutual interest in study, which he inspires-these strong attributes blend in harmony with the successes he has attained. Energy, together with his origi- nality of mind, gives promise of further progress. The broad range of his training and the variety of his activities-which are the fundamental postu- lates of a real leader-will find fullest expression in concept and actuality as a figure in school life at Bellevue. During his career, rich in activity and experience, he has laid special emphasis on the study of Medical Pedagogy. The interest of the student has always been his sincere concern. In connection with his name there will always be associated his outstanding qualities as a teacher, his sense of fair play and his untiring efforts to give the individual student the best possible resources for the practise of medicine.

elected Secretary of the Medical College and in 1919 was elevated to the Clinical Professorship of Medicine. For the past twenty years in various capacities he has been connected with Bellevue Hospital. Soon after completing his internship he began work in the out-patient department of Bellevue Hospital, received the appointment of Adjunct Physician on the Third Medical Division in 1915, and four years later became an Assistant Visiting Physician. On july 1, 1927, with the resignation of Dr. Carlisle from the Directorship of the Division, Dr. Wyckoff became his successor as 'Director of the Third Medical Division. In fulfillment of a well-considered plan, he has added to the staff a number of younger men who have prepared themselves for clinical service with a background in the fundamental sciences of Pathology, Physiology and so forth. Furthermore, Dr. Wyckoff has been instrumental in adding two new wards to the service, making a total of four, with the addition of a Skin Service under the direction of Dr, Howard Fox, Professor of Skin Diseases at the Medical College. Much new equipment has been installed and, of still greater significance, a systematic grouping of cases has been instituted under the supervision of competent authorities in the individual types of disease. Dr. Wyckoff is a member of Zeta Psi, Omega Upsilon Phi and the Alpha Omega Alpha Honorary Medical Fraternity. He received an honorary M.A. degree from Rutgers in 1920. He is also a member of the American Medical Association, New York County Medical Society, the New York Academy of Medicine and the Interurban Clinical Club. It cannot be amiss to note that despite a crowded life devoted to the Hospital, the Medical College, private practice, the writing of scientific articles and active membership in numerous associations, Dr. Wyckoff finds adequate time for the family duties of a father of two girls and a boy. Those of us who are intimately associated with Dr. Wyckoff in his daily work are impressed with the eminent qualities which portray an individual character, his sense of justice and fair play, his clarity of thought, his creative ability, his desire for knowledge as a means of better understanding and illuminating his own fields of endeavor, and his unselfish service-these are the pillars of a personality which mark the growth of a leader. His eager competence to press forward will find adequate opportunity in the broad field which he has recently entered, since he is a man soundly and broadly trained, with an intelligent grasp of his chosen held of knowledge, and with an intellectual outlook and sympathy. One cannot help but see that his mind now faces the contrast between the respected traditions of the past and the demands of the present and future in educational practices, but he is a man who knows his subject and who has Page Thirly-any

The physician must not only be prepared to do what is right himself, but also to make the patient, the attendants, and externals cooperate.-Hippomzter. ,liiyfir 'l'lii1'ly-lllwt'
