THE CLASS. JEREMIAH JOSEPH COHANE A civil habit oft covers a good man. -BEAUMONT AND FLETCHER. Made his first rush at New Haven, Conn., on August 18, 1875, son of Sylvester Ji Cohane, a carpenter, and traces his ancestry to Jeremiah the Prophet, from whom he obtained his historic name.

Hail wedded love, mysterious law, True source of human offspring, -MILTON. A faint wail of Vive la France! was borne on the Wind that swept the vineyards of sunny France on the morning of july 17, 1871, and tra- dition says there Was great rejoicing in the house of Delmas, and they named him Raymond. The responsibility of this event was upon Mathurin Delmas. His life has been spent in France, South America and United States. Claims as relatives Napoleon the First, Professor Charcot and others too numerous to mention. He bears the distinction of being the only mar- ried man and proud father in the class, so far as we know. Ancestry can be traced to Demos- thenes and his hxmoglobin is Irish and Greek. gf bi I ji , W, 3' ' l '51, 'f Q ' Vg, :fb

YALE MEDICAL ANNUAL. WILLIAM T. CANNON The fearful thunder roar of red-breathed can- non, and the wailing cry of myriad victims filled the air. -PRENTICE.

YALE MEDICAL JOURNAL. ARTHUR HALL DUNDON. Still to be neat, still to be dressed, As you were going to a feast, still to be powdered, Still perfumed. Arthur was iirst powdered in Bridgeport, Conn., August I2, 1876. He was soon furnished with a commutation ticket and came 10 New Haven to live and incidentally to learn. His proud father is Richard N. Dundon, a coal merchant, which probably gives Arty the idea that he is such Warm material. His term bills are paid doubtless in coal dust. The blood of all nations runs in his veins, which seems probable when he names Julius Caesar, Dick Croker and Thomas Platt as distinguished relatives. RICHARD MATTHEW ENGLISH I was born an American: I live an American: I shall die an American. -WEBSTER. First saw the light of day in New Haven, Conn., September 29, 1872. His father, james English, is a dealer in pianos, which probably accounts for the airs of his progeny. He would in all probability have succeeded in getting a key had he seen fit to finish his Academic course, hav-ing entered with the class of '94. Claims as a dis- tinguished relative, Chief Rain-in-the-Face, which no doubt accounts for his aversion to water in any form. Prepared for college at the Hillhouse High School.
