YALE MEDICAL ANNUAL. FREDERICK TREMAINE BILLINGS U Up! up! my friend and quit your books Or surely you'll grow doubleg Up! up! my friend and clear your looks, Why all this toil and trouble? -Woanswourn. Was born to future greatness at Ridgewood, N. J., july 5, 1874. We are surprised that he did not make his advent a day earlier, coming, as he does, of a line of martial ancestors. His father, Luther Gay Billings, is an ofhcer in the United States Navy, and one of his earlier ancestors was on the staff of General Geo. Washington. The hot blood of the chevaliers of France, mingled with that of the Anglo-Saxon race, flows with great violence through his veins and is much in evidence when he is called upon to dis- seminate his knowledge in the class room. The Mohegan Lake School on the Hudson has the honor of having prepared him for college. CLIFFORD BREWSTER BRAINARD K' I to myself am dearer than a friend. -Two GENTLEMEN or VERONA. Came to illuminate the scientific world at Bristol, Conn., April 1, 1874. The date of his birth was unfortunate and probably accounts for some of the little eccentricities that endear him to him- self and his friends. Wilbur F. Brainard, Gen- eral Agent of the Connecticut Building and Loan Association, will be responsible for the rennais- sance of the practice of medicine which We expect to see occur shortly after his son makes his rllfbzzf as a practitioner. Distinguished relatives are Adam and Eve, and Kernble the artist. His blood is Saxon, Danish and English, but he says his lymph is Yankee QNode doubt this is a jokej. Prepared at Bristol High School for Sheiiield Scientific School from which he graduated in 1895.

Ufass of 1598 Laugh and the world laughs with you, Weep and you weep alone, For this jolly old earth must borrow her mirth For she's sorrow enough of her own. In presenting the histories of the Class of Ninety-eight it is the wish of the editors to tender at the same time the apologies of the historian whose name for various reasons it has been deemed wiser to concealg for we fear that were this measure not adopted it would in all probability become necessary for us to,conceal the historian himself, which procedure would not only be highly inconvenient but doubtless also attended with great difhculty and danger. Therefore in extenuation of this gentleman's many failings, permit us to simply say that in compiling the following brief biographical sketches he has endeavored to write an entirely good humored and impartial sketch of the lives of the various members of the class, and if at any time his remarks have seemed to approach an uncalled for irony we beg you to receive them with the same friendly feeling with which they were intended, for nothing could be further from our Wishes than that any unkind spirit should linger in the breasts of those of us who for the past three years have been friends and classmates and are now about to separate, many of us never perhaps to meet again.
