As an adequate expression of our admiration and our respect, we shall not sing to him a funeral dirge, nor garland his grave with roses when dead, for we believe in praising while aliye, but we shall speak only as we know him to be while living. 'liherefore, the tittest subject whom this space may claim, is none other than Iloward N. Freeman, BLD. Somewhere in the green rales of Maine, not far from Presque Isle, the subject of this sketch was born thirty-two years ago. Unlike the fortunate children of many, born within the midst of countless millions of wealth and all the glittering glamour of gold, he was nothing less than the child of destiny, whose beaten path was yet to be worked out by himself. 'l'hroughout his younger years he was struggling against the ricissitudes of an unkindly disposed world, only to lind that he had not yet risen above the plane to which he aspired. llaring done his best struggling against the forces and misfortune to which he was subjected, he became partly reconciled to his seemingly inevitable plight, and hence entered into the ayocation of shoemaking. Not long, however, did he pursue this policy before that unsatisfied brain craved for higher things. llere he realized that his psychical and :esthetic side must be developed more, or else his fondest hope should be crushed. Tlierefore, right within the midst of all things which held out discouragement towards him, he again took up his literary work, and was graduated from the llarerhill lligh School in 1901. lJr. lfreeman was now disposed to take up the study of medicine. Ile felt that within him lay something which could at least help allay the bitter pangs brought lo humanity through disease. ln order to do this, it was necessary that he hare funds which he did not have at that time. Diligently and by the sweat nl- his brow, he worked toward this end until the fall of W0-l, whereupon he entered the Ilaltimore Nledical College. lle successfully tinished his lirst year in medicine but agam came the monster of misfortune with which he had to grapple. llenci-g matt-:nl til- being grailnatefl in nieilicine in WGS, he attended school awhile 10

During his work at the llaltiinore Medical College, Dr. Freeman became most proficient in Obstetrics under that illustrious man, Dr. il. M. H. Rowland. He received the medal offered for best work in the field of Obstetrics and, having been graduated, it was no surprise that he should become Chief Resident Obstet- rician at the Maryland General Hospital. lrle held this position from 1912-11513 and did work there wonderfully well. ln 1913 Dr. Freeman became Chief Ubstetrician to the Maternity Depart- ment of Cniversity Hospital, where he worked under that profound man, Dr. L. E. Neale. lYhile here he has worked up the maternity work, both inside and outside, to a standard which it has never before enjoyed. XYith all this, he has seen that the outside work has been done properly, and no labor has yet been too tiring for him to slight it. lleing a young man and possessing such a skill and love for his work as he does, we predict for him that he shall yet become a shining light in his particular branch of his profession. ln conclusion, let us say that no man was ever more worthy of the title which he wears. For his love of truth and honor we esteem himg for his knowl- edge and his painstaking care with students we cherish him, and for his love of the right we honor himg and, moved by the same motives, inspired by the same instincts, his being vibrates the same thought as did the noble Celsus: For telieflzel' if be 011 the' scaffold lfiyyli, Or in the Iuifflefv wan, The fitzvsz' place -zuherf' man can die, lx 'ZK'1I6'I'6' he dim for zliazzf' Niivnss B. 1'lIfNIJRIX,, Ali., A.M. 11
