EDXVARD C. GII I M. D. Ph. G. f I 1 t, af ii HE subject of this sketch is well and favorably known by every student in this college. They have followed him from the early rndiments of ostcology to the peripheral endings of the most complicated cranial nerve. iVell fitted for a teacher by academic as well as professional training, Dr. Gill invests into the most difficult subject a charm which can only be displayed by one who has mastered his subject. Anatomy in its various branches has always been the bug- bear of the student. Many a hard working scholar comes to a lecture room thoroughly perplexed with a mass of jumbled ideas which are quickly rescued from their chaotic condition and given their proper relations in a few words by Dr. Gill. A friend to each student under his charge, fair to everyone, easy to approach, lenient when occasion demands, Prof. Gill has proven to be indespensable to the real student life as it exists in the College of Physicians and Surgeons. 18
