C. was still young, the early history of the society was a struggle L-- for existence, but through the years of activity she has accumulated a power that d t th t 's ' sures her future and makes her an influence in the life of the undergra ua e a 1 in felt when he receives his degree and goes out from school on his healing mission. The society stands for well rounded manhood and aims to turn -out from U. M. C. broad minded and well balanced men as well as true physicians and surgeons, and the Aesculapian Society feels a modest pride in a large number of honorable, successful practitioners of medicine as her alumni, comprising a large majority of the men grad- uated from U. M. C. who are now scattered over the United States and occupying influ- ential positions in the community in which they live. n, L. Green, A. M. Wilson, Prof. In the spring of '89 Carl Roh, Jabez N.

B. Erwin, C. C. Kerr, W. M. Hoel, C. W. Lawrence, A. G. Swaney, J. D. Van Buskirk, Messrs. Myers, Welles and Garrison, with -C. W. Lawrence as president. Devotional exercises were held each. Sunday afternoon at the college during the college years 1902-3 and 1903-4. The first Bible study class was organized in September, 1904, with J. D. Van Bus- kirk as leader. It has been- the custom each year to organize one or more classes, and follow a systematic course of Bible study. Each year the association publishes a college hand- book containing the schedule in connection with other valuable information. It has been our pleasure to conduct an employment bureau, a student register and a boarding direc- tory. The association stands ready to welcome the new student at the beginning of the college year and early in the session holds its annual reception that the new students may not only become better acquainted with each other, but also with the upper class men. Considering the fact that the new Central Association building is only five blocks from the college, our members are not on-ly fortunate in being in close proximity to the advantages that it offers, but are admitted at a special rate. Our aim is to raise the moral and spiritual tone of the institution, to point out the life of Jesus Christ as lan. example of upright, honorable living. 'To assist in developing men, not only in the principles of the practice of medicine and surgery, but also in character. The leading of young men to make the chief aim of their lives, not only the relief of suffering, but to point others to higher and better things.
