Professor Martin P. Scott. M.D. »§S€ € : €i6«- PROFESSOR Martin P. Scott, M.D., to whom the Reveille of this -ear is dedicated, was born in Fauquier count}-, Virginia. He is the youngest son of Judge John Scott, one of the most distinguished jurists of the State. Dr. Scott ' s education was begun at the University of Virginia. After graduating at the University, he determined to prepare himself for the medical profes- sion, and with that end in view became a student at the University of Pennsylvania, entering the medical department. Graduating at the University of Penn- sylvania, he went to Paris to complete his medical training. For two years he remained in France as a student of Medicine and Natural Science. Part of this time he was a private pupil of the celebrated Claude Bernard, successor to Magendie, in the College of France. Soon after Dr. Scott ' s return from Europe he was elected Professor of Chemistry in the Medical College of Virginia, which chair he occupied until the begin- ning of the Civil War. Throughout the war Dr. Scott served as surgeon in the Confederate Army, with the rank of major. After the war Dr. Scott made his home in Marvland, where he assumed the practice of his profession. While living in Maryland he aided in the establish- ment of the Washington Medical College, now the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Baltimore. In 1879 Dr. Scott was elected to the Chair of Natural Science and Agriculture in the Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College. This position he held for about eleven years. In 1892 Dr. Scott became Professor of Biolog} ' in this institution. The chair he occupies is one of the most important in the College, forming as it does the basis of the agricultural work of all other depart- ments. His course includes Geology, Physiology, Zoology and General Biology. In all of these branches his work has been attended with marked success. Dr. Scott is a man of striking personality, strong character and wide range of iiifornuUion. His influ- ence and individual force have done nnich towards developing and expanding the work of the Scientific Departments of the Institution. The editors of the REVEILLE ask Dr. Scott ' s accept- ance of this dedication as a slight mark of the respect and esteem in which he is held by all the students of the College.
