After spending his youth in to different Eastern States, of which he ies. life was already spent, and that the pro- fessional ability of which he was possessed was lying dormant, Pro decided to become educated along Veterinary Medical lines, which was begun in the fall of l909. Startling to relate, owing to his advanced age and his traveling experiences, Proi' suffered greatly from nervous disorders due chiefiy to the presence of a few upper classmen. Many a shred of aponeurotic fascia was literally torn from the anatomical dissecting figures when Norman was seized with one of these nervous conditions, also several muscles were severed from their normal attach- ments, without notice, and were entirely lost. This seeming trifling to Norman always resulted in a severe criticism to his dissecting partner on the approach of Dr. Harger. Ay After becoming naturalized to the conditions.

l A Zlultwa William igierhntt, Q T E A pretzel, a pretzel, my kingdom for a pretzclf' W s l Herby became a resident of this city October 6, 1890, much to the pride of his family and to the future welfare of the Veterinary profession. His early life being much like that of any other wide-awake boy, needed a more or less varied training, which was topped off by a course at the Heath Business College. Around the Veterinary' College Herhy does not make himself conspicuous to the professor nor to his classmates, due probably to the fact that he is always found in the smoking lobby participating in his daily lunch. judging by the number of invitations he receives to dances and parties he must be somewhat of a ladies man in his native town. During his lonesome hours around the Depart- ment, which, by the way, are rather few, he spent at bowling, at which the other fellow usually got the high score. Pinochle is also very attractive to him, but at this game he seldom gets' the ljoohy prize. Wfe have not heard him say what branch of the profession he expects to follow, but we presume it will be general practice soinewdjggear Philadelphia. Vve all wish Herby a grand success.
