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

EDITORIAL .HY is an editorial? Frankly, I don't know. I suppose it is one of those things that are merely because it has been. However, it is expecting too much of an individual to assume he will forego such a chance as this. ligotism is a universal attribute of the human mind. Here before me, figuratively bound and gagged, with no power to object or reply, is an audience composed of practically all the faculty and students, and many of the alumni of an institution of higher learning. This institution, to each one of us, and for our par- ticular purpose, has been selected by us as the best institution of its kind in existence. Only once in a lifetime is given to one the opportunity which is now mine. l'recedent says I should here thank the members of the staff and the various other contributors for the part each has taken in making this book what it is. I do this most sincerely, and wish to also include Messrs. Anderson and llrown, heads of the Art and llusiness departments, without whose untiring efforts there would have been no 1913 Chips. The book speaks for itself. The measure of success we have attained is for you to judge. ' . Some of our professors, when the attendance at their lectures is small, waste valuable time scolding the absent ones to the few who are present. It is with difficulty that I refrain from making a like mistake and expressing my opinion of the very few who have not given the 1913 Chips the support it deserves. But they are the ones who will not see the inside of this book-so what's the use? lt is customary for college annuals to be edited and published largely or entirely by the junior Class. I have no fault to find with this custom 3 but it seems to me that special attention should be given to the Seniors. It is their last year in college, and we all join in wishing each and every one of them the greatest possible success and happiness as they enter their life work in their chosen professions. Let us all join in making their last days with us days of pleasure and profit, that they may take with them joyful remembrances of their final days at their Alma Mater. Our last impression is the one that abides. Let us ever strive to make all final impressions pleasant. 20
