QBLII' Evan JAMES E. LOGAN, MD., LL.D. 'Professor of Diseases of Nose, Throat and Clinical Otology. There is probably no position on the faculty of a medical college so fraught with trials as that of Dean. To him must the student body look for all favors Mediator is he between student and faculty. He it is who must greet the incom- ing Freshmen and bid farewell to the Senior. His is to guard for four years the student, thus protecting and building up the school. Responsible to the trustees as well as to the public is the Dean, and tactful indeed is he who, as sponsor for his college, can retain the respect and even the affections of every student, and at the same time always keep in view first and foremost the welfare of the institu- tion. Such, however, has been the history of many past incumbents of the office. to whom the student body look back as the students' friend, and lacking in none of these qualities is our present Dean, Dr. james E. Logan. Dr. Logan received his preliminary education in the Universities of Kentucky and Missouri, obtaining tlie degree of LL. D. from the State Normal of Arkansas. In 1883 he graduated as valedictorian of his class at the University Medical College. The year 1883-84 was spent in Relleview Medical College, New York. Five years following this were spent as Professor of Physiology in the Uni- versity Medical College. During the years 1890-1908 Dr. Logan held the Chair of Laryngology, Rhinology and Qtology, having also filled the position of Pres- ident from 1899 to 1907, being elected to the present office in the spring of 1907. As a student Dr. Logan was a member of Beta Theta Pi Fraternity and XE Society, having since been elected an honorary member of CID B II. Since entering the practice of medicine he has become identified with the Kansas City Academy of Medicine, Jackson County Medical Society, Missouri State Medical Society, American Congress of Physiology and Surgery, American Laryngological, Rhin- -ological and Otological Society, and the American Otological Society.
