frntesnr Artltur M. i bt bu, il.i. RTHUR MARIOTT SHIPLEY was Ijorn on what is known as the Upper Farm near Harmans, Anne Arundel County, Maryland. January Sth, 1S78. being the oldest child of Roderick Octavius Shipley and W ' ilhelmina Clark Shipley. As a youngster he attended the country school near his home, and when thirteen, he was started in the Friends School, which was then at Preston and McCulloh Streets, lialtimore, Md. In three years he was graduated from the Friends School and immediately took a business course at Bryant Stratton ' s Business College. The summer following this fall course he worked on the farm, and the following fall taught in the little country school known as the Friend- ship School. The loss of hfs mother, who had been an invalid for several years, possibly had a great deal to do with his choice of Medicine as a profession, but he gives as the reason why he did not choose the farm, because he hated chickens and cows — they made so much noise and had so little sense. In the fall of 1898, at the age of 20, he entered upon his course in Medicine at the University of Maryland, from which he graduated in 1902, at the age of 24. He was first honor man of his class, having the second highest average in the history of the college. The first six months of his Senior year he was Clinical Assistant and the last si. months was resident in the Maternity. In 1902-1903 Dr. §hipley was resident surgeon, being assist- ant to the beloved Dr. Tififa;ny. As Dr. Tiffany resigned this year Dr. Shii)ley was the last assistant this great man had and was then transferred to Dr. Frank Martin. In 1903-1904 he was Senior Resident Surgeon, the onlv Senior Resident Surgeon in the history of the Hospital. In 1904 he was elected Superintendent of the Hospital, occupying this position until July. 1908. In the spring of 1903, while still in the Ho.spital, he was made Associate Professor of Surgery. In 1906 he spent six months abroad at Strausberg, Germany, in Prof. Chiaris ' Clinic of General Pathology. In 1909 he was elected to the Senior Faculty, also Professor of Surgical Pathology and Therapeutics. May . th of the same year he mar- ried Miss Julia Joyner, of I ' )altimore. In 1910 Professor Shipley was changed from Ther- apeutics to Materia Medica, and in January, 1911, he was made Surgeon-in-Chief to the City Hospital and Consulting Surgeon to Sydenham Hospital. In P ' lO and l ' ' ll he was President of the Baltimore City Medical Societ -. He is a member of the .American Medical Association, a memljcr of the Medico-Chirurgical Faculty of Maryland. In November, l ' J13, he became a charter memlier of The American College of Surgeons and was elected on the Board of Governors of that body. In closing, it mav well be said that every man, whose privilege it has been to claim Professor Shipley as a teacher, has been impressed with liis readiness to help in the uplift of the individual student and the student-body, and his clear, well-rounded manner of pre- senting a subject to the student marks him as a teacher without a jieer and to tlic manin born. 21
