Randolph Winslow, A.B., A.M., M.D. There is no more alisolute gaii e of a man ' s real wDrtli and noliility of (.-haraeter than that afforded by the esteem in whieli he is judd hy those witli whom he is in daily contact in the performance of the duties of life. Especially is this true in the life of a physician, as a result of flaily association with the varying pliases of humanity both as a custodian of fauiily secrets and the healer of all the forms of linman snfl ' ering. It is this ever-present res])onsibility that tests to the utmost the qualities of manhood and demands the most unselfish abnegation of self for the benefit of others. Of him whose name is at the head of this ])age all who know him speak of him as tiie model physician, the conscientious and able teacher, the gentlenum above reproacli whose well-spent life has been in honorable service to humanitv. of whom it i-, n iru be said: JC.xamplt ' is a living biw whost ' sway ' SUw iiKirc tha.i all tln ' written law obey. liANDOLPII WlXSi.ow was bni ' n in llcitroi ' il. Xortli Cai ' idina, October •2:!. IS. )?, and like every other Xortli Carolinian, if he could not have been b irn in that State he would have ]ireferred to have been l orn in Maryland. It is eminently fitting and justly equitable that Xorth Carolina, after tli ' e old riiivei-sity has furnished her with so many able medical men, slioulil re])ay the debt by gi ing to the I ' niversity one of its best teaehei ' s. 1 ' hokkssoj! Winslow attended the acadeiuy in his native town, but the var-(d(nul that hovered over the country during bis childhooil interfered consider- ably with liis early schooling. In October. lS(i. i. just after the i-lose of the great struggle, he was placed in school at Baltimore. His family nuived to the Monumen- tal City in the following year, and he became definitely a Baltinuirean. Tn 18(i7 he entered Haverford College, and took his bacludorV degree in l.STl. While at college he was prominent in athletics and field sports and has nuiintained an interest in these -diversions ever since, being at one time om, ' of Baltimore ' s crack cricket players. Upon leaving Haverford, he entered the University of Maryland, and since that time he has always maintained an affectionate, active, and enthusiastic interest in that institution, laboring earni ' stly for its welfare with an aliiding faith in its future greatness, and witb the cei ' tainty of the realization of his hopes and the suc- cess 01 his efforts. It is equally certain that the name of Eandolph Winslow will be inseparably connected with the history of the development of this great home of medical learning. 7
