Dr. HAYEs contributed liberally to medical literature, and principally in the shape of small monographs upon topics pertaining to chemistry and elec- tro-therapeutics. He was a member of the American Medical Association, Illinois State Medical Society, Sons of the American Revolution, and of the American Society of Therapeutics. He has been identified with charitable and religious work in this city for many years. Dr. HAYES leaves a wife and three children. The death of these men serves to remind us that as there was a beginning, so there must be an ending, and no man knoweth the length of his stay amongst us.

Dr. MURPHY achieved the greatest success as a surgeon. He was of the old school, so called-a surgeon such as was made by the teachings of a Brainard and of a Gunn, and a surgeon who had to grapple with the disease unassisted by modern aids of diagnosis and therapeutics: a surgeon who of necessity considered little of the so-called purely practical side of the question. He was an honored member of many associations and societies, and had but recently been president of the National Association of Railway Surgeons. Those of you who are just entering the medical profession can find much in such lives as his to encourage and guide you in attaining the greatest of suc- cess in the medical profession. This association should be, and I believe it is, proud of the record which this distinguished alumnus has left behind. QA more detailed report appeared in the March CoRPL'scL15.l Er. wail. HD. 1bawortb. Through the courtesy of Dr. CHAS. F. XVRIGHT, we are informed that on April 15th, 1894, Dr. H.1.woR'rH died at the Wellington Hotel, Chicago, of embolism of the heart. He was born in Decatur, Ill., and attended college at Andover, Mass., and studied medicine at the University of Michigan, at Belle- vue, and Rush Medical College, graduating from the latter with the class of '91. He had a great liking for mechanical work and had secured several valuable patents before studying medicine. He was but Z7 years of age, and he pursued everything with the enthusi- asm and intensity of a well equipped youthful mind. He was an industrious and earnest student and an enthusiastic practitioner, and had he lived would undoubtedly have achieved success in the practice of his chosen specialty, Dermatology. XVhile upon the threshold of our Commencement reunion, we. are sad- dened by the death of another distinguished alumnus of this city. Er. IDPQITIIIIOII Sanbforb 1baQes. Dr. HAYES was born in Ohio, and died at his residence, No. 159 East 46th Street, Chicago, May 14th, 1894, at the age of 43 years. His death was due to a complication of la grippe, pleurisy, etc.. from which he had suffered for over four months. Dr. HAYES graduated from the NVest Division High School in 1869, and from Rush Medical College in 1872. For Five years immediatelyfollowing his graduation he served as assistant to Dr. LYMAN, then occupying a chair of Chemistry and Physics. From 1877 to 1883 he filled the chair of Chemistry in the XVoman's Medical College, and from ISSO to 1884 held the same posi- tion in the Chicago College of Pharmacy. During later years he has devoted a great deal of time and energy to electro-therapeutics, and was professor thereof in the Chicago Policlinic at the time of his death. He was also Medical Examiner for the NationalUnion and Medical Examiner-in-Chief of the Royal League. 259
