Dr. Clinton Wayne Kelly == LINTON WAYNE KELLY, was born in Henry County, Ken- . ». ney tucky, February, the eleventh, 1844. He received his early ie ) education in the schools of Eminence, New Castle, George- A town and Harrodsburg, Kentucky. a At the beginning of the Civil War, when but a lad of can JJ seventeen years, he entered the Confederate Army and was Captain on Gen. Giltner’s Staff in the Fourth Kentucky Cavalry. He re- mained in the army two years and then acceded to the wishes of his par- ents to resume his education. To have remained in the States would have necessitated his taking the Oath of Allegiance and this he was unwilling to do. In consequence, he went to Canada and there began the study of medicine at Queen’s College, Kingston, Ontario, in 1863. Remaining in this school but one year, he then entered McGill, at Montreal from which school he graduated with highest honors in 1867, receiving his degree of Doctor of Medical Science, also that of Master of Surgery. In the fall of that year he went to Germany where he studied under the most learned men of Europe for five semesters. In 1869 he returned to Louisville and began the practice of his profession. In 1870 Dr. Kelly was elected professor in the Kentucky School of Medicine. In 1871 he also accepted the Chair of Anatomy in the Louisville Medical College which position he held in conjunction with the former Chair as the two schools were for a time affiliated. In 1876 the Louis- ville Medical College withdrew from the Kentucky School of Medicine, and Dr. Kelly remained with the former institution. In the Louisville Medical College Dr. Kelly was Lecturer on Anatomy throughout its ex- istence, also at different times lectured on Medicine, Theory and Practice, Surgery and Physical Diagnosis of the Faculty. Dr. Kelly was Dean for fifteen years and at its merger with the Hospital College of Medicine in the fall of 1907 he maintained the deanship there likewise. He has always worked for the combination of the Medical Schools of Louisville and when this was accomplished September the first, 1908, he was elected a Professor of Anatomy. Dr. Kelly is a man of strong personality, widely read, and has been conceded by the thousands of students to whom he has lectured to be a great teacher. He possesses to a remarkable degree the ability to know and call by name the members of his classes.
