3obn Ebwin 1Rbobee . John Edwin Rhodes was born at Bath. Summit County. Ohio. February 12. 15451. Shortly afterward his father moved to South Bend, Ind. In 1856 the family moved overland. with teams and covered wagons. as there were few railroads in those days. to Webster City. Ia., where he attended the public schools and grew up with the country. When sixteen years of age his parents returned to South Bend. and from thence to Belvidere. Ill.. in both of which places he attended the public schools. In 1870, after having taught a public school for a term, he came to Chicago, and took a full classical course in the University of Chicago. graduating in 11476. He then removed to California. married in 1877. and after a fine business experience with the large hardware firm of Huntington Hopkins SL Company. he returned to Chicago in ISH3. for a course in Rush Medical College, graduating as Valedictorian in the class of 1SH6. After several months of European travel he became associated with Dr. E. Fletcher lngals. Dr. Rhodes has been connected with the Northwestern University NVoman's Medical School for tive years. and is Professor of Physical Diagnosis and Clinical Medicine. In Rush he is Lecturer on Diseases of the Throat and Chest. In 19493 he was elected Secretary and Treasur- er of the Alumni Association. and through his efticient- and energetic efforts the nienibership is now about tive hundred. the largest in the history of the Association. He is a member of the Chicago Medical Society. the State Medical Society. the American Medical Association. etc. He contines his practice very largely to that branch of the professional work in which he is teaching. diseases of the throat. nose. and chest. THGWIOII 'IDOIUGIL Newton P. Holden. M. D.. '-16. was born in Eroton, New Hampshire, June 20. 1830. He took the first three courses ever given at this college. graduating in a class of ten. in 15447. He. with his class-mates. listened to lectures held in the rear room of Dr. Braina rd's oiiice and in rooms at the rear of Prof. Blaney's otiice. The seats were rough and some- what destructive to broadcloth and those who could afford it bought newspapers to serve as cushions. The fraternity spirit predominated even in those days and tive of the students of the Doctors class organized a fraternity the pass- word of which was Brainard. He began practice at Bristol. Ill.. but in 1H73 removed to Chicago. where. in 1H7li he became County Physician. In 1H7H he removed to Frankfort. Ill.. and retired from actual practice. The Doctor sa ys that although he does not visit the college often. of its unmeasured success he is justly proud. Dr. Holden is one of the oldest of the Alumni of Rush. 104
