That our class is progressive and full of virn was demonstrated the second week we were at Rush when we astons ished our predecessors by indulging in a class organization, an act unprecedented by any preceding Junior class. Necessity, however. has inany children and at this tinie organization was one. Our tirst meeting was a sad one. as we were called together for a sad purpose. One of our brothers, M. J. Carter. of New Orleans. had been taken away by death. A letter of condolence was by instractions of the class sent to the bereaved parents. T. W. Bishop, Honest To1n, was niade chairnian of the teniporarlv organization and a permanent organization was duly formed. l42

Vile congratulate ourselves upon having begun our course ot' study at. Rush at this epoch making period of the in- stitution and thus being permitted to enjoy and to be bent-tited by the many improve-ments already enuini-rated by our Senior historian. The class of '95 is a unit in welcoming all innovations that have the semblance of advancement. as our motto. Qui non proticit detieitf' indicates. is manifested by many members having ordered the current motto. No smoking or Chewing tobacco in this room. as a decoration of the walls of their respective private rooms. The publication of this. the tirst medical annual, is another manifestation that we dare cope with the new and untried. That embryo authors. demonstrators. and discoverers are growing in our ranks is not to be questioned. Adkinson has already discovered that a phosphorus match may be found in the heart of a dead subject. Porter is trying to solve the problem how two hearts can beat as one: he is being assisted in his experiments by a student from the Womans Medical. Others are studying how to beat a flush hand of hearts. Field and his co-worker are trying to convince the World that there are but two semi-lunar valves. Amunson is working on fatty infiltrations. Peck and Bowers are wearing out brain cells in a vain endeavor that will change a red pigment to a black. That A515 zmx the tinest class that ever passed within the portals of Rush was admitted by all until those assuming Juniors came with their unearthly yell. We will of course applaud when the time comes for us to be addressed as The best class that ever graduated from Rush unless the present Senior class should be so addressed. thereby making those sweet and ancient words meaningless. forever more. prima facia. We not only originate some things new. but we give up some things old. The Louisville R. R. will not be worked for out rates for those of us who fail to pull through because of lack of medical lore or some unworthy equivalent. No. we will either practice Homeopathy or become doctors of that most noble animal. the horse. Why choose these alter- natives? Good Friend. do you not see that should we fail at Rush there must be some good reason? and if this reason is lack of medical knowledge, that then we may know that we possess the primary qualilication for a Homeop? Again if we should fail because of our acquaintance with ponies that this same knowledge would serve us well in understand- ing horses. Do you catch my meanness? a class we appreciate a good thing when we see it. and are always ready to recognize ability. Class spirit and fellowship are eliaracteristic of '91 While we may at times seem frisky and frolicsome it is but an indication that we have no desire to grow old pre- maturely and we almost regret that many of these pleasantries must next year be driven away by plug hats and whiskers when we are blossoming into older appearing men and doctors 143
