With sterile mouse forceps, a bit of sputum, the size of a bean . . . . the voice goes on, vibrant, and clear. VVe peek into the lecture hall and see a tall, lithe figure in a laboratory coat describing to a class of students the routine for pneumococcus typing. There is a definite boyish- ness about the man evidenced in the untamed forelock, the bronzecl tense skin of his face, the high prominent cheek bones. The eyes are a light blue, made bluer by the swarthiness of the face and the heavy overhanging brows. As he speaks, the words come decisive and meticulously created, emphasized with a quivering forefinger and clenched fist. How interested the fellow seems in his subject. The classroom is quiet, the students forgetting for a moment their usual automatic addiction to note-taking, in the interest and force of the speaker. Such was my introduction and first impression of Dr. Wade W. Oliver, an impression that has been fortified by later contact in the laboratory and lecture hall. Dr. Oliver was born on August 30, 1890, in the city of Cincinnati, Ohio, and attended the elementary and high schools of that city. He received the degree of A.B. from the University of Michigan in 1912 and his M.D. degree from the Medical School of the University of Cincinnati in 1915. He was Assistant Bacteriologist at the Cincinnati Medical School from 1911- 1915, thus being at one and the same time both student and instructor-a no mean achievement. In 1916, one year after being graduated from Medical School, he served on the Rockefeller International Health Foundation. After a year of such service, he came to the Long Island College Hospital as Pro- fessor of Bacteriology and has continued in that capacity since. Dr. Oliver has already achieved recognition for his contributions to bac- teriology, especially for his work with partial tension cultures of gonococci done with Dr. VV. B. VVherry at the University of Cincinnati, which appeared in the Journal of Infectious Diseases of 1916, and his method of rapid pneu- mococcus typing which was done in the Hoagland Laboratory and appeared in the Journal of Infectious Diseases in October, 1920. He has done con- siderable study also, on The Therapeutic Value of Pneumococcus Anti-body Solution Administered Subcuntaneously in Lobar Pneumonia. QArchives of Internal Medicine February, 1925.5 He is an indefatigable worker, attacking each new problem with characteristic energy and enthusiasm. Among the many societies of which Dr. Gliver is a member are the American Association of Bacteriologists and Pathologists, American Society for Experimental Pathology, Society of American Bacteriologists, American Medical Association, Association for Advancement of Science, etc. In addition to his activities as Professor of Bacteriology and research worker, Dr. Oliver is a poet of talent. He has written over 300 pieces of poetry and was awarded in 1927 a prize for a miscellaneous poem and sonnet. His verse has appeared from time to time in Forest and Stream, Poetry of Today London, Contemporary Verse, Poetry, and Palms, His Y Y ,A JMM.-Q Y Y W Y, Y Mag LWWM reef' Y W 4-1 , ,, .,- -lin -All -- f 7 f Page Six I
