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.

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. Prepared at Hillhouse High School, and studied medicine because the world needed a great surgeon. Blood is Irish and American. RAYMOND DELMAS. 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

THE CLASS. JOSEPH JQHN GUILSHAN. A man he seemed of cheerful yesterdays and confident to-morrowsf' There was just one day when joseph was not a man of cheerful yesterdays, and that was janu- ary 17, 1877. Westfield, the Whip City, is his native heath. How much of a snap he has is not known. Can trace ancestors to 1790 B. C., which probably means bum crowd. His blood is a congress of nations-Absinthe, Irish and Scotch whiskey and Muncheun beer. He played marbles with Virchow and johannis Miiller, but could not play horse with the American text- book. FRANCIS PATRICK HEERY U His tongue dropped manna, and could make the worst appear the better reason, to perplex and dash maturest counsels. -MILTON. Made his first speech at New Haven, Conn., on January 7, 1873, and his reason for living is that the world needs him. His father is Mathew D. Heery, an actor on the stage of life. He can trace his ancestry 3,500 miles and his list of dis- tinguished relatives is so long that space compels us to omit all but the most prominent-as Herr Most, Roberts Bartholow and William Shakes- peare. His blood is an infusion of Irish, Cuban and French. Prepared at Hillhouse High School.
