Egg The subject of a class book is one that demands a deal of serious -consideration. It is a question-in every sense of the xvord-which arises With every class as it is graduated-to be answered in many and varied Ways. The editors have endeavored to make the Year Book as published by the Class of 1908, representative. not only of the Class but also. of the School. To this end many matters which, at first glance, might seem foreign to a class book. as such. have been inserted. The constant aim 'has been, however, to make the Book of interest to Yale men and, in so doing, we hope it will have been made of especial value to the members of the Class of 1908, of whom it is meant to be, primarily, representative. There will, no doubt, be faults to find. Wie ask indulgence. There will, we fear, be criticism. XVe ask that it be tempered with -mercy, for there are many calls upon men during their senior year. XVe wish to thank particularly, Professor Smith for the well-directed 'words of advice he has given us concerning the Year Book: Dr. Seymour L. Spier Whose experience, the value of which has been generously granted us, has been a great aid: Professor Yandel Henderson, who so kindly 'wrote for us the article upon 'tThe School : Superintendent Coddington :and the Prudential Committee of the New Haven Hospital through whose fgraciousness We are enabled to give the several views of the Hospitalg Mr. M. L. Mitchell of the Yale Pot-Pourri for many viev of the University, and Mr. Robert Finlay Bush. who has been inclefatigable in his work in the advertising department. VVe are grateful to Mr. XV. I. Russell of the junior Classy Mr. T. H. Russell of the Second Year Class and Mr. L. H. Levy of the First Year -Class for their articles concerning their respective classes. lVe appreciate and are thankful for the hearty support given us by the School as a whole, and those firms which have advertised with us. In conclusion, may we say, that our only hope is that the perusal of the pages to follow will give as much pleasure as has the editing of them. THE EDITOR.

FARNUM OPERATING ROOM, NEW HAVEN HOSPITAL The Faculty The Faculty. from the stand-point of a student is apt to be spoken of in a manner that is startling, to say the least. The impressions that a man gains of a member of the Faculty while under his instruction are many and varied. Here at Yale a man learns first, respect and reverence-respect for the institutiong its traditions, and there is with it the knowledge of the eminence of Yale so that it inevitably follows that a man early realizes that, to be on the Faculty is, in itself, guarantee of sterling worth. The Faculty of the Medical Department at Yale is made up of men eminent in the professiong strong men-capable men-faithful and earnest men-lovable men-and men under whom it is a privilege to labor because of their very power and iznsellishness. These things are shown best by results and the workings of the men who have been graduated from Yale give the best means of exemplihcation of all that has been said. lt is a fact that in the history of the School, no man who has tried the state board examinations of any state in the Union save Connecticut alone, which more Yale graduates try examinations for than any other state, has failed to pass them. Yale men are known and eminent all over the world. lfroin the time a Yale man graduates and tries examinations for hospital appointment. to the day when his work on earth is finished, the general thing is, a clean and brilliant record-because of his training at Yale. The members of the Faculty are known and respected all over the world. This was strikingly illustrated a few weeks ago, in the case of the writer, upon the presentation of credentials in making application for appointment examinations to a certain New York hospital. The man to whom these were given-himself prominent in the medical profession-said, I see you have a letter from Dr. Carmalt. Let me tell you that a letter from lzinz means as much, almost, to me as any examination ever given-- for when Dr. Cai-malt says a thing is so, it can be depended upon that it is as he has said. He is a man of character and learning and I am glad to meet you because of what he has said of you. 3,8 THE YEAR BOOK. And so it is that Yale men get appointments to the best of hospitals- because of what has gone before-their training, and their backing. In the present Senior Class some ten men tried examinations recently for New York hospitals-eight of them were appointed to New York hospitals. Later these men will go into practice and if the records of alumni of Yale who have gone before these men are a guage, they will be, not only successful but markedly so. This applies equally well to those of the Class who have procured appointments to various other hospitals, and this is the great majority of the Class. Still others will, as have znany before' them, go into practice without any hospital work and, they are prepared- and thoroughly. To apply personalities again, we would refer to Professor George Blumer, whose writings are known universally-Professor Plint who came to us, as did Dr. Blumer, from the Wfest, and who is known, not only in this country from East to West-or Wfest to East-but also abroad, for his works. Professor Osborne is an authority on internal medicineg Professor Herbert E. Smith, our Dean, is known widely as a chemist and a student- to continue would mean to name many others hardly surpassed in their particular nelds of science. Our instruction in anatomy under Professor Perrisg in pathology and bacteriology under Professor Bartlettg in physiology and physiological chemistry under Professor Henderson and-to mention Professor Russell H. Chittenden is sufficient to the up-to-date scientist, the world over-is such that it would seem that but little more could be desired. There are others who have to do with our daily training-authors, writers, investigators and, all of them, able men, as practitioners, when their time is not devoted entirely to the School as in the cases of some. ls it to be wondered at, then that Yale men compete favorably with men from schools of such renown as Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia, and the like? Because of these things if for no other reason, a man may well be proud that he is a Yale man. Association with MEN means the making of MEN. Class Officers, Presid ent, 1908 JOHN HENRY MCGRATH.

VIEW OF NEW HAVEN HOSPITAL FROM THE NORTH EAST The Undergraduates Much has been said concerning the undergraduates in the preceding article but a little more detail will not come amiss. There is a something which characterizes a Yale man that cannot well be explained but it suffices to say that the friendships made here are lasting onesg that the loyalty to Old Eli, learned during our four years, sticks: that Uif a man's a Yale man, that's enough . Most men who study medicine are none too well supplied with money and the various ways in which they contrive to get that necessary adjunct to a medical education are oftentimes exceedingly interesting. In the present Senior Class the great majority of the men are partly, if not wholly, self- -supporting. Any number of men have waited on table for their board: others have canvassed during the summer months for almost every conceivable thing, books. aluminum cooking utensils, stereoptican views, drugs, and the likeg others have clerked in summer hotels, or waited on table at resorts at the sea-shore, or in the mountainsg one man has reported for local news- papersg another who was proficient in short-hand has taught night-school and tutoredg others have worked on street-cars in summers and spare hoursg one or two have been night-men for local undertakersg we have several men who are licensed pharmacists and have made money at that occupa- tion. A few of the men have tutored students in other departments of the University in chemistry and physiology and even mathematics and languagesg assistantships in the chemistry and histology laboratories at the School have gained tuition for several, while one man has. for three years. been laboratory assistant to a local physician in his sanitarium. To fail to mention our legerdemain artist and his assistant, XVill Green, of New Yorkf would indeed, be an omission!! Clerking in stores has been successfully tried, and one man was editor 'of a local short-story magazine until that went up . Aside from the fact that these things show earnestness in endeavor, 'there is another point that is very evident-almost every man in the Class could support himself were it necessary. 42 THE YEAR BOOK. lt would seem that one of the important things in gaining an education is practicability and here we have it. Should a man who has been work- ing his way through collegen be compelled to give up medicine for one reason or another, would not he be more ready for a start in business life than the man who had not been obliged to worry about the source of his room-rent or tuition money? ln the Senior Class, numbering thirty men-although it started with over fifty-there are ten diierent states of the Union represented and one foreign country. Hflzy Yale was picked upon for an education in medicine by these men is another interesting study. Some say that Yale is the best place they knew of g another gives as his reason to learn somethingf' Trite-and he has had his wish. E Sentiment is another factor which brought several here while another man came because of family influence . Qne man came on account of the 'fname and reputation of Yale g while prestige gained by a diploma from Yale was given by two or three others as a reason. Une Senior came because he Hhad nothing else to do and he got his wish. i'Convenience is the reason for the presence of the man from lVestville,'l while another man from a rather further distance came because he had never seen Medical Hall ! ! !', Que man, who at home, lives five blocks from a quite prominent and most excellent medical school came because he couldnt find a better place and-it's true. The men in the Class are congenial, whole-souled fellows, and while- those in the under classes are acquainted better with the men in their own class, the spirit is there, and the best of feeling exists throughout the entire undergraduate body between those who go to make up that body.

For that reason we shall depart somewhat from the custom of many ,classes and many publications, here at Yale and abroad, in recording the results of the votes for the man considered the most conceitedu, Hthe freshest or the laziest . Wfe believe that to brand a man because of an unfortunate fault is unjust, but that to commend a man for a strikingly ,good quality or Hstreakl' in his nature, is to further that very thing. VVe are anxious, nevertheless, to remind any man who may be fortu- nate enough to get a pat on the back in the next few paragraphs, that :everyone is liable to err in judgment lt may strike the reader that to be a grind, or to be meek, or fnervy is not a particularly desirable trait. All that we can say is, You :should know the men!

The first that I remember of our class, as a whole, was the day we were called together by Dean Smith. ln looking over the assemblage, I could see men from last year's freshman class, who had stayed to repeat the year in order that they might show us how freshmen should conduct themselvesg pretty high school youths with fresh and new ideas as to how one should study and there were also present men of wise mien and dignified airs, burdened with academic lore and many degrees. It did not take us long to get acquainted. Brought intimately together by the sociableness of the Saloon'! as our favorite smoking room is called, we began to know each other well. And here it was that the first great by-word arose-the by-word that was to echo for months to come and finally to disappear only when its proud originator mournfully left our midst, XVop, now everybody. Oh! W'op! !', and behold, we saw Guerra's beaming countenance appearing in the doorway of the chemistry room. Here, too, we also learned of the greatness of Flauman-to whom we are indebted for Flaumencopea-and whose opinion it is, that chewing is done mainly by the teethf, Then, too, must be mentioned the now famous remark by Fred Day that capillaries are about twelve inches long. The troubles of the class were divided mainly between anatomy and chemistry. Anatomy is a name which will ever be remembered but the knowledge of which never, for the aftermath of a four and five hours study at night is a blurred, hazy idea of bones, muscles and nerves and a particularly dull feeling the next morning. And chemistry-dear, old, delightful chemistry! Wfhat vile utterances have been hurled at thee! How many sleepless nights hast thou caused! And at Christmas time when man is supposed to be at peace and possess good-will toward all, then, instead, was each man troubled and ill at ease-lost in anxiety-awaiting the results of the Christmas exams. And truly was this anxiety well founded, for we lost three of our co-workers, who, sorrowfully, left us to our fates. CLASS OF 1911, M. s.,.YALE THE YEAR Book. 49 When we came back after the New Year, it was with a different spirit .and new resolutions, for those who had feared lest they, too, might have been has beensf, were resolved that they would fight their way clear to .the end. Professor Henderson's course was finished soon after the New Year and T know that many missed him and his terse method of reasoning in physiology. All attention was centralized on the chemical laboratory, for there it was that gay repartee held full sway and the many witty remarks floating around gave one the impression that the men were not following their right vocation but that their place was in Puck's joke Foundry. jokes by everybodyg lighting the flames by Bill D. Levy and a sparring exhibition ,by Esposito and Donovan, with Sam Harvey and Mr. Maryott as referee ,and judge constituted part of the entertainment. The next place of attraction was the dissecting laboratory. Wfhat gruesome sound was that, that struck our ears even before we mounted the ilast of the stairs leading to the lab.'! 'Twas the Cadaver Quartettef' Rightly named, for its music was such that it we feared lest it arouse the 7 -dead. Here one heard-and without charge-f'Lou' Bootlfs high tenor, UMit'sH deep basso and Lautman's echo. I have never been able to find out who the fourth member of the quartette was unless it was Venus',, adding 'to the harmony by keeping still. The dissecting was begun with zest and could we have been seen and judged by those versed in the science, verily would it have been prophesied that we were great and wonderful surgeons .in enzbryo. How gracefully we carved and slashed and if in doubt as to a nerve' or fascia we could easily tell by trying its stretching power, for 'everything that broke, no matter how great the pulling stress, was fascia. lVe found a great deal of fascia and a surprisingly small number of nerves. This history would be incomplete without mention of Dr. Ferris, our Professor of Anatomy and Histology, for he was fully three-fourths of the class. T cannot express adequately with what esteem he is held by the class, but I can probably give you an idea when I say that our quizzes, which close each dissection, are more feared than they really should be 'because the men would rather Hunk the entire year's work than flunk to Dr. Ferris. That's all! ' WILLIAM H. CARMALT, Professor of the Principles and Practice of Surgery Emeritus. 1 Iv 1 D V 1 r J I Sophomore Class 1910-M. S. The class of IQIO began its career in the Fall of IQO6 with sixty-one men, the largest enrollment in the history of the school. Of these, five were degree men, and twelve were members of Academic or Sheffield classes, taking combined courses under the elective system. After enrollment, each one of us was given a card, which said that we were at last members of the First Year Class, and were entitled to all its rights and privileges. These we were not at all slow to take advantage of, for we all hastened over to the hospital to see the first operation, taking copious notes, we know not what of, and vainly endeavoring to look wise as though we understood it all. And then came that nightmare, the first dissection. Some of us pre- ferred to defer the ordeal until the last minute, while others voiced their belief that it was better first to look in and see how the Second Year Class did it, and so gradually get hardened. XVe wondered if we could ever be as unaffected as they were. Alas, many of us slept but little that night, or, had horrible dreams in which we were being dissected by hideous hobgoblins I Soon the Christmas holidays came, and we departed for a well-earned rest. And then came the long Wlinter term, for which we had made iron- clad resolutions to study harder. But this term and the next soon passed, and the june examinations loomed up on the horizon like a huge black cloud. How we wished we had studied harder during the term! And how each one of us burned the midnight oil, striving to crowd a great mass of material into one small brain. At last examinations were over, and the Summer vacation arrived. Good-byes were said, and hands shaken as We left to anxiously await the reports of our examinations. Most of us were heavily loaded with numerous text-books which we had firmly resolved to study during the Summer, but I fear that but few were opened. In the fall of 1907 we again came together to find that many well- known faces were missing. Gaboury has gone to the Harvard Medical School, Sumner, Pratt and McGuire to Columbia, Deming, Morris, Dunning CLASS of 1910, M. S1 Q-YALE THE l'7E-'fR BOOK. 53 and Van Orden to Johns Hopkins, and Barrett to Baltimore Medical Col- lege. Brande and NV. N. Sweet, having become convinced that a classical education was of advantage before beginning the study of medicine, had entered the Freshman Class in the Academic Department, while Laud and Vars have gone to the Law School, and Griffin to the Art School. Brandon, DeMatty, Goldstein, Gordon, Murphy, Silverstein and Middlebrook are in business, while Blatchley is teaching. Twelve of our former class-mates, believing that a five year course is more complete than one of four, decided to repeat the year. But it should be said, to our credit, that five members of the previous class, perceiving our superiority, decided to wait a year in order that they might graduate with us. Epstein, who came to us from Cornell Medical School, gave us a total of thirty-two with which to begin the year. Yale again put a victorious foot-ball team into the field, on which our class was represented ably by Brides, who, during the season has played tackle, center, end and halfbaclc. The topic of most absorbing interest during the Fall Term was whether he would be elected captain of the team or not. In spite of a strong tradition that the captain must be a member of one of the undergraduate departments, Brides was a very close candidate. Others of our class-mates who have won especial renown are Comfort, who received an election to Sigma Xig Hamilton. who made the Apollo Glee Club and the College Choir, Thoms, who also made the College Choir, Kimzey and Stewart, who for two years have been leaders in the gymnasium, and lastly Keyes, the first man to enter the Medical School under the Two Year Elective Rule. Another fact, which should not be overlooked is that to our class belongs the chief credit for founding the Medical School branch of the Yale Y. M. C. A. Wfhen we hear that We have passed our June examinations, if we are so fortunate, we may well feel that the more tedious and theoretical part of our course is ended, and that we are well on the road which leads to med- icine. VIEW .OF NEW HAVEN HOSPITAL FROM THE SOUTHWEST Junior Class. T 1909-M. S. Wle must admit that our class is a star one -a lone star-not like Texas, however, for we rank the smallest in the School-twenty-one in number. Starting with forty-one members in the Fall of 1905 we dropped -or rather the Faculty dropped--sixteen men the first year. From the present number we might derive the proportion 41225 ll 21 :x. The Juniors themselves are not to blame for, as l'rofessor Henderson says, The annual weeding-out comes in june. So it did with us. Some 'thought the strenuous social life was preferable so, with a little facultative persuasion they ceased their time-consuming school tasks. Of course we had to go through the formation period and, its evolu- tion was most interesting. After having learned that one's finger goes through the foramen of X'Vinslow and, that one-half a gram of apomor- phine is the dose for an ordinary sized man, together with some marvelous 'interpretations of our text-books, we began to open our eyes. One day Buttner told Dr. Gompertz that he heard, after listening some 'length of time, a heart sound, and then seemed astonished when the reply was, Yes, there are four sounds theref, During the Wlinter vacation about half of the class boarded the good -ship, Richard Peck and departed for the big city where they thought they 'could gain knowledge not to be found here, at the Lying-In Hospital. Such -a three weeks as were spent! Mostly without sleep of sufficient quantity, but with other interesting things to attract our attention. Finally there was a rush in the market for a few days and the fellows 'began to get particularly tired, especially Finky and Good, who tried one day to sleep undiscovered under one of the single cots. Soon they were wantedg a bell rang-it rang again-a clerk cameg they were discovered and sent, one to XVest 41st Street. the other to Ludlow Street. They returned the next evening!! The clerk said a few things like these: Con- found it! not grains butigramslu Hyde had his troubles, too, in getting at his drug work for it took Dr. Osborne ten minutes one day to find when he would be at leisure to make his Syrup of virgin prunesf' This same morning 'lVin came in smoking a Virginia cheroct, which was as pleasant to the professor as a patent- medicine vendor's visit to his ofhce might be. A few days later in the lecture in Medicine there was asked by Professor Blumer a fairly long CLASS OF 1909, M. s. YALE THE YEAR BOOK. 57 question. That is, it took considerable effort on the part of the professor to finish it. Kleiner was up, he failed to comprehend, and said, I don't know what you mean. The answer was, I mean just what I said. Another time the symptoms of hypertrophic cirrhosis had been given in detail. Rus- sell was at bat this time and he had nearly exhausted his knowledge along this line when the professor said, What else. Another symptom was given and the what else again came forth and the reply was, Thats all I know. jaundice F Russell said, That's the first one I mentioned. The answer was, You've no objection to my emphasizing the point, have you? Wfe learn from our professors but we teach them a few surprising things sometimes, as for instance, Prof. Osborne was told by Kiernan that a cholagogue was a fine intestinal antiseptic, and Prof. Flint has learned from Irwin that when a patient comes into the hospital with great dyspnoea and a stab wound in the throat at the level of the cricoid cartilage, that the' spinal cord is not severed as a rule. Une shouldnt fail to notice those mustaches this year. The more localized forms are the chronic sort as Russell'sg the subacute of Irwin, the acute of Gadeg the abortive of Kleiner, the recurrent of f'Furcoloff g unhappily, Good, another member manifested that rare form, an acute exacer- bation of a latent type, which, upon reaching such a stage of maturity as to suggest to us that much abused term, a misplaced eyebrowf, was, upon due consideration, deemed detrimental to his peculiar style of beauty and the success of hissocial aspirations at Hartford and was subjected to the heroic mode of treatment-epilation. Yen was sitting one morning displaying his R1's'11s sc11'do111'c11s, which was an expression of the overilow of his insuppressible joy over the futile attempts of Wfaggener and Wfestcott to elucidate the peculiarities of Hodg- kin's disease and purpura haemmorrhagica, little conscious of the fact that he was in danger, as he had been called on the day previous. Suddenly Dr. Blumer called on him for aid. I-Ie arose sheepishly, groping for words, protruded his trembling tongue, turned livid with dismay, uttered a few unintelligible sounds and calmly subsided into his seat. ' Flaherty after much energetic practice in the manipulation of the billiard balls has at last succeeded in rolling a pill. Seriously, though, in conclusion, I wish to say that, in View of the fact that we harbor many pleasant memories of past experiences in his class-room, we regret exceedingly the withdrawal from the School of the services of Dr. Everett J. McKnight. I-Iis patience, as well as his ability, was valuable to us. He was unusually popular with the men in his classes. YALE cigsws ON HARBOR A Sketch of the Yale Medical School in the Past The Yale Medical School was chartered in 1810 under the title of The Medical lnstitution of Yale College. Previous to that time the Connec- ticut Medical Society, under a charter dating from early in Colonial days, had exercised the right to confer the degree of Doctor of Medicine. Under the influence of the elder Professor Silliman the Society was led to unite with Yale College in organizing the new institution and to delegate to it its degree conferring power. The Society retained however the right, jointly with Yale College, to appoint professors and to examine students and 'continued to exercise these rights until 1884. lt is needless here to dwell on the early history of the School. Those were the days of small things although relatively Yale played no small part in the early history of American medicine. lt is however important to note that this School is the fifth oldest medical college in America, that it is the only institution for instruction in medicine which has ever been chartered in the state of Connectictzt, and that it has been from its beginning a fdepartment of a college and devoted therefore primarily to the service of the community. During the greater part of its early history the Medical lnstitution occupied what is now South Sheffield Hall. This building was hnally sold to Mr. Sheffield and with the proceeds of the sale the present Medical Hall on York street Kon a piece of land then known as the college pastors cow pasturel was erected in 1860. Doubtless Medical Hall afforded at the time as ample and commodious quarters as a medical school could desire. The type of school universal at that time was described by Dr. VV. llf. Keen in his Commencement address here two years ago as follows: lfVhen I began the study of medicine at the Jefferson in 1860, including the janitor himself, there were less than a score of men engaged in teaching us. 'Contrasted with the fourteen or more laboratories of a modern school no medical school at that time had more than one. namely the dissecting room. Even many years after that time we had a Faculty who constituted and who .thought themselves the perfect number seven. Each gave his lectures to the entire student body in all the classes en masse. l use the words all 6o IME YE.-IR BOOK. the classes cynically, for there were but two classes until a comparatively few years ago-and they were taught for eighteen weeks per annum. Two, years-thirty-six weeks-of this meagre training and, presto! we were doctors authorized by law, like Saul, to slay our thousands or even to vie with the more nimble and athletic David. The modern history of the School begins in 1879. Then under the influence of james Thacher the School took its first great step forward. Yet the step almost proved fatal. Breaking away from the old-fashioned, course of the kind described by Dr. Keen, there was instituted a graded course of study running through three full academic years, and-most radical of all-an entrance examination. Yale and Harvard were the only schools in this section of the country at that time which attempted anything approaching so high a standard. Nearly all other schools required for' admission merely the candidates signature and a fee of 35.00. How the students of that time regarded the matter is shown by the fact that the enrollment of the school dropped from 59 in 1879 to 21 in 1881. Indeed it was quite generally expected during this period that the School would be obliged to go out of existence. The Medical Faculty of that day as always believed that Yale should have a medical school second to none in its standards and instruction. But it required both enthusiasm and self- sacrihce to live up to this creed. The policy of the School would seem to have been based upon the excellent principle: W7hen trouble comes from doing well, do well the- moref' Having got into difficulties by raising its standards and improving' its course ahead of the times instead of contenting itself with relatively inexpensive instruction by text book and lecture courses, the School pro- ceeded to develop laboratory courses in spite of the greater drain on the Instructor's time and energy and the expense of equipment. Thus if the dates at which laboratory courses inthe various subjects were instituted in Yale be compared with the dates of their establishment in other medical schools it is found that in respect to every one Yale was among the first. It is worthy of record that because of the necessity for strict economy irn laboratory equipment, instead of an expensive piece of imported apparatus, a simple kitchen utensil was in 1886 first used for scientific purposes in the Yale bacteriology laboratory. From this start the Arnold sterilizer has become an essential part of every board of health laboratory and indeed of every household which includes a modern baby. l-Lit even simple apparatus costs money and by 1890 the School had spent on equipment all but a few hundred dollars of its endowment and was THE YEAR BOOK. 61 therefore heavily in debt to its trust funds. By 18Q4 all of its endowment had been thus borrowed and an additional debt of 36,301 contracted. In spite of its endowment being replaced by a load of debt the School, in 1896, increased its course from three to four years to keep abreast the times and in 1901 raised the entrance requirement. Both changes caused a drop in the number of students although on these occasions the losses were relatively slight and temporary. Meanwhile the high grade of the School had begun to tell. The enrollment rose from 32,l1'1 1889 to 96 in 1895, to 131 in 1901. Year by year the debt of the School was paid off, the books showing that from 1891 to 1907 there was each and every year a credit balance to be applied to this purpose. Few educational institutions can show such a record for sixteen consecutive years. The School has in all paid off debts incurred for equipment of 333,000 and stands today debt free. Two years ago a combined course of six years for the degrees of B. A. and M. D. was instituted by the co-operation of Yale College and the Medical School. During the past year courses in the Scientifxc School have also been opened to medical students. After 1909 the combined course will be the minimum requirement for candidates for the M. D. degree. Because of this elevation of the standard it is probable that another of those periods of trial, such as have been brielly sketched above, lies ahead of the School. But the past is a guarantee that the difficulties of this period will be surmounted, and that in the great future of Medicine, Yale will continue to do her share.

FALL REGATTA AT LAKE WHITNEY The Yale Medical Journal. ln turning back over the pages of time and the records of the Yale Medical School we cannot but realize what a noble undertaking was launched some fourteen years ago by the pioneers of our present publication. Little did they expect it would some day unfold from its infancy to reach its present achievements in the field of medical journalism, and gain the foot- hold and place which by the perseverance and self-sacrificing efforts of one editorial board after another, it now has. It has not been a smooth road to travelg not even a well-trodden path to guide the anxious Boards, but a hard struggle at times to overcome the many obstacles and discourage- ments which come into the existence of all publications. The founding of the Yale Medical journal marked an epoch in Medical School Life which was bound to awaken a more general interest in the hearts of the various classes one with anotherg to interweave among the under classmen the guiding spirit of the Seniors, whose work in great part is clinical and away from the centre of Medical School atmosphere. Fur- thermore it began to bring our professors and instructors in closer touch with the student body. Medical journalism in itself covers a broad field, but the primary object of the better class of such journals is to bring before the profession the results of general study and research work that is in progress in the medical world. The medical journal is the advance guard of the text-book. Une issue follows another, some weekly, some monthly and others quarterly, but each containing something of practical interest to the profession. New theories are deduced and new methods evolved which are of the greatest value to the saving of life. The study of medicine for the graduate lies to a great extent in the interest taken in reading the journals, thus keeping up with the progress made in methods of practice and therapy. Few realize the work involved in the publication of our journal by the under-graduate editors. To put forth a magazine which is interesting and readable to the student body and the profession alike, is a task exceedingly difficult to bring to a successful issue, for while there may seem considerable that is beyond the compre- hension of the former in their first years in medical studies, there is much which requires the greatest care to eliminate as elementary from the latter. SANITARYLABORATORY, MEDICAL DEPARTMENT, YALE THE YEAR BOOK. 67 Of what interest is the Yale Medical journal to the graduate and under- graduate subscriber? In great part its circulation is among Yale men and the columns are largely contributed by the Alumni of our School. One section of the paper is devoted to original articles which are of a standard worthy of publication in the best journals. Another section is given over to editorials, alumni and school notes, abstracts from other journals, medical society meetings, comment on the latest medical books and miscellaneous affairs of interest. Year after year the classes graduate and the lives that have been so interwoven during four long years of hard work are separated and, with a handshake and an expression of good wishes for a future successful life the men bid one another a farewell and continue the journey alone. Is there no way to bring into these separated lives the spark of fire to kindle a continued interest in the Welfare of every man and make him feel that the buoyancy of Yale spirit is still back of him? Is there any better way than to have the Yale Medical Journal circulate into the homes of these men, incorporating as it does beside these college interests, a large amount of good medical literature? It brings before the alumni the attain- ments in the field of medicine of their classmates and friends and, in no small way fosters that Yale spirit by making them cognizant of the happen- ings in the undergraduate body. To the student, the journal is advantageous in many Ways, not only from its material contents but from the invaluable benefit and training that is derived from doing Journal work. There seems to be a prevalent idea among the students that this work taxes one's already burdened capacities to such an extent that little is to be gained in expending any extra effort in' this direction-but not sog for well systematized work in this line is a pleasure rather than a task. Let us urge strongly every man with an aim to improve his literary talent, to strike out and try to 'fmake the Journal Board sometime during his four years in School. An ability to cultivate and apply a literary style to medical writings cannot be too strongly 'emphasized as a much-to-be-desired achievement and one, which in practice fits one to the task of being able to properly present before medical meet- ings well arranged writings. To the underclassmen we would say, that -in the Yale Medical journal lies your opportunity to get into training. The present Editorial Board has striven to make the Journal a success, .and, although we truly realize that there is considerable room for improve- ment in its columns, yet we most sincerely hope that it has in some little way accomplished its efforts to further the best interests of the School. 68 THE YEAR BOOK. Now passing into its Hfteenth year on the records, we feel confident that the incoming Board will spend every Fibre of strength keep up the standard of our venerable publication.

Yet he rests undisturbed, unmoved and alone, His comrades are deathly still, Though naked he lies on a slab of grey stone He heeds not its wintry chill. The glittering steel of the scalpel and knife Breaks not his endless reposeg More cruel the wounds of the soul in life, And peace came not till its close. Then mangle the body, dismember the frameg Take the eyes, now sightless, away, Cut out the stilled heart, and consign to the flame, Remains of the once mortal clay.

For this is the place of places to be desired and the place of places to sigh about, prospectively and retrospectively. The New Haven Dispensary is contained therein and, therein is a tale -many a tale. From the time when we listened to the lectures upon topographical anatomy with XVilliam, the custodian of Medical Hall, stripped to the waist, as subject-and furtively blew peas and beans at his poor back-we have longed for practical things-for the living. quivering subject, as Laura jean Libby would have it. And the Clinic, with its chronics and neurasthenics and frost-bitten ears and flea-bitten heads: the white coats and the jingling stethescopesg the Hashino' head-mirror and the air of diffnitf Gained thereb -is it not is b 5 as fascinating? lt is not-to the patients who are Wise to our all too few years and our strut.

But there it is that patients suffering from almost every conceivable ailment come again' saying, That medicine did me so much good. XNFOIII you give me more ? And then, we learn and-learn. Then the orthopedic clinic where we use the exercisers and sleep on' the leather-cushioned tables, until the physician in charge coznes. Wfhere we smear ourselves and, everything, but the proper thing, with plaster-of- INTERIOR VIEW NEW HAVEN DISPENSARY-YALE CLINIC. Paris casts-but when we watch Dr. Arnold's deft hands smoothing out the rough places in our casts, with never an impatient word but always a smile and a jokeg and see the little crooked patients go away with gratitude shining-sometimes through tears-from their eyes, we think again. The surgical clinic mingles pain, and sorrowg joy and relief in won- derful ways, oftentimes. Disappointments are many-sad truths are told- sufferings big and little. of big and little, are relieved or alleviated. The old soldier who had the minie ball through the leg is still with us and though early in the year he declared that the old leg had carried him a good many miles and he wasn't going to give it up now -yet, with our Class ends THE YEAR Book. 89 those who may say in after years, Yes, I used to dress an old Civil W'ar wound back in the time I was in college for it is to come off within a few weeks now. Upstairs there is the gynecological clinic with its white examination tables, white screens and glistening glass cases-whence we go to the ear, nose and throat clinic with its darkened windows and glaring lights reflected from the sparkling head-mirrors. The children that we watch being made bright and happy by the relief from their adenoids -the ears that we see stopped from aching, and the throats from paining-all these make it one of our most interesting clinics. Then comes the ophthalmology clinic with its blinded eyes and burning eyes, and the notes from the teachers sending the school-children there, saying, lVillie has to strain his eyes to see the black-board or, I have tested Susie's eyes and find she needs glasses. Please tit her and oblige and so on, and so on. ' The pediatrics clinic with its crying babies-and anxious mothers and patient attendants is just across the hall, while back of that is the neurological, clinic with its vicious looking, spark-shooting pieces of apparatus. Cn the third floor is the dormitory for the out-patient obstetrical clinic and there the men live and-waitg wait for the ring in the dead of the night with the cry, Dochter, dochter. Gome qvick. I leave my vife unlocked, my door sick abed!! -or the Vat time you tink she gome? T want to quote, in closing, from an article written by Dr. Seymour L. Spier for the Yale Clinic of IQO4. And so the days come and go. Each day has its smiles, each day has- its tears. How thankful we all should be that it has been our good fortune- to have been identified with the New Haven Dispensary, if only as assistants. and scribes in the various clinicsg but nevertheless, we, in our small way have contributed our mite towards the helping of mankind, to conquer pain, to banish disease, to assist infirmities, and last, but not least, to recognize the essentials of true charity towards our fellow-beingsf' ,k eg ,. .

Inspired by these narrations fifty energetic neophytes, looking upon one another with envious eyes, wended their ways, inthe fall of 1904, to the famous old Medical Hall on York street. Wfhen we assembled for the nrst time and listened to the roll call we found that many great nations, even to ancient Rome and Greece were represented in our number, and so Well distributed that we might well say, that a battle of nations was about to take place. Wfe soon met the haughty Senior who told us that we could never accomplish that which they were about to complete: the self-enraptured junior who narrated the many nights of study and worry about the differ- ential diagnosis of obscure abdominal conditions'g the sneering Sophomore who delighted in displaying his twelve weeks of experience in the dissecting room to the ambitious, half-frightened, worry-worn Freshman. Uuoyed up by the fact that others had accomplished thesame task and overestimating somewhat our own abilities we entered into the fray. Soon the chemical laboratory with its hours of physical and mental endurance was all ablastg the dissecting room dispersed its odors throughout the old building and the lifes work was on in earnest. 98 THE YEAR BOOK. The ambitions of some of our number were suddenly squelched when they found that the study of medicine required more attention than they could give and, at the same time, attend to the duties of their new social sphere. For that reason the names of some of our earliest class-mates are only passing memories. As we proceeded onward in our march to fame, the scourge of the cadaver drove others to seek another field of study. Looking up from his seat in the pit of the amphitheatre of the anatomy lecture room Professor Ferris was once nearly overcome by an elaborate description of a Hthin-shaped muscle, while one of our since lost number who bore a name C Nan Pattersonb which was famous at that time, especially among criminal lawyers and yellow journalsf' looked down with a superior smile from his pinnacle on high. At another time, after Dr. Ferris had dwelt at some length on the many difficulties and dangers in the removal of the parotid gland, wishing to elicit the impression he had made, ventured to ask one of the men the question, 'WN hat would you tell your patient before you undertook such an operation ?,' The answer came, ap- parently without much deliberation, I would say that it was a very serious operation. Almost daily were we enabled to listen to the musical voices of Harney and Thompson, both of whom have left us. How they used to come early just to sing! And don't you remember how they used to lock the door to the smoking-room so that they couldn't be 'mobbed'! l And time and again we have sat and just listened-and listened-to the fairy-tales told by our Buster Brown -Kinne-of the prairie region of the Far Wfest as represented by Ypsilanti, Michigan. He might well be considered the official hand-shaker of our number-and his irresistable 'Paul Paul. XVhy persecutest thou me always caused a laugh. Wfe had all agreed that the life of a Freshman was a most deplorable lot when suddenly the final examinations were upon us. Cur minds sought comfort in the words of consolation which were freely distributed to one another. Dr. Hollis, our congenial instructor in Chemistry bade old Yale adieu at the close of this year. Anxious to see how many of our number were to be back, we came again to New Haven and Yale in the Fall of 1905. After enrolling three new class-mates we were thirty-seven strong. This year we 'Kfinished it up with the stiffs g gazed upon the insig- nificant organisms which yearly destroy thousands of ambitious mindsg worked over gross pathology with its microscopical teachingsg watched Dr. THE YEAR BOOK. QQ Bartlett in the autopsy room searching for the cause of some untimely death and here once again were able to see the marks of unrelenting disease followed in its progress from tissue to tissue. Then came the brain with its Zig-zag convolutions and gyri and its many areas of special functions, together with its association fibres-a complex mechanism which badled our energies. lt was about this time that the sad news came of the untimely death of our professor of medicine-Dr. John Slade Ely. WVe had not known him well enough to fully appreciate him but, though he had not lectured to our class, his influence had extended to us. 1 l MEDICAL AMPHITHEATRE, NEW HAVEN HOSPITAL Once again, the next Fall, we found that the severe hand had fallen on some of our number and that they had sought other Helds in which to -continue the study of medicine. Wfith one new addition, We started the year with thirty-four men. W'e were fortunate in having a man of great worth-Dr. George Blumer-as a successor to our late Professor of Medicine. The new instructor in surgery, Dr. Everett I. McKnight, not only gave us a most thorough course Ioo THE YEAR BOOK. but speedily entered deep into the hearts of the men in his classes. lt may be said that no man was ever better liked, or more loved and when at the end of his course the men gathered in the hall to give him in parting the customary Yale cheer, the old building fairly rang with the shout. McKnight! McKmfghz'!! MCKNIGHTI ! l The introduction to the Yale Clinic was perhaps the most interestingg feature of this year, for here we received our hrst real idea of the cosmo- politan character of New l-laven's population as embraced by the Dispensary. Here the dignified Senior propounded his knowledge gained in the previous years, under the careful direction of the attending physicians and surgeons- --particularly our present Professor of Surgery, Emeritus. STUDENTS ROOM, OUT-PATIENT OBSTETRICAL SERVICE, YALE CLINIC. It was in the large class-room in the Dispensary where the greatest of difficulty was encountered trying to find lung tissue over the vertebral' columng to remember that inspection came before percussion and ausculation and so on. Vlfe also received our initiation to the Hospital-Watched with' considerable eagerness the physical examinations, listening the while withl knowing looks to the discussions. Some sought the extensive Held of New York City in which to broaden their practical work in obstetrics. THE YEAR BOOK. lor The bandaging course which began at two o'clock each Thursday in the large laboratory furnished much amusement before tl1e instruction began, and usually ended on the outside with Sorock acting as back-stop for all the loose bandages. At last-and almost before we realized it-the Senior year was with us. Thirty warriors survived to participate in the final battle in our struggle for a degree. lVe have acquired the dignity of Seniorsg the burden of the work in the Dispensary is our task, we attempt to diagnose and treat the many and varied complaints, we travel from clinic to clinic, perhaps finding the same patient we just left in the last clinic still pursuing us-going the rounds even .as were we. Not that we have won his conhdence-or purse-but that he seeks the advice of a different specialist. e Then come the clinics at the Hospital, for which the keenest prepara- ftion is necessary that we may not be the subject of the indulgence of the professor and the ridicule of the class. Here we see the man who has the suspicion of a murmuru of more or less intensityug we have a demonstra- ftion of Bolinsky's signfg we learn of the importance of an eosinophilia in an adult as indicating a condition of 'ipemphigus vulgaris in child-hood, and so forth and so on. It's all very funny until we ourselves are the :martyrs in the arena. Then comes the thesis problem. We must branch out into a field of new ideas, perhaps personal research. or on the other hand, to go through the literature on certain subjects and collect the scattered ideas of the more learned of the profession. Something must be done-and that right quickly! About this time notices of hospital examinations are posted and cram- 1ning is at its height again for a spell. The men go out one by one and soon the tidings of success against others of different colleges begin to come in. The results attained by the first few men incited others to endeavor, .and one after another they went out and, came back with laurels. Again our boast that.Yale is foremost has been affirmed. The final examinations are now about at hand. VVe are nearly ready to go out into the world, to add our small best to the endeavor of our noble profession-to ever bring comfort and gladness to the aching heart, the sick and inlirm and, sympathy to the sorrowing souls whose friends or relatives have passed beyond earthly aid. May the Class of 1908 be as successful in battling with the vicissitudes of the world as it has been in the endeavor to gain the coveted honor now almost at hand! ' 102 THE YEAR BOOK. In conclusion let us Wish long life and prosperity to dear old Yale, to our professors, instructors, and their assistants, and to our Dean, whose strength of character has been a forcible example to us all. In finality, may I say, remember, that the friends you have formed here will last through life, that your college associations will always be your dearest thoughts and, in looking back think ever of Yale and the Class of 1908.

Inside Information It is the unexpected that is always apt to occur. One would almost as soon think of going to a funeral to have a good time as to associate day in and day out with forty or fifty medical students to get material for a comic supplement to a Sunday newspaper. But the unexpected docs occur. If you of our class doubt me, hark back to that day in second year anatomy class when Bernstein was reciting to Dr. Ferris. Recall how Bernstein told us that the proper procedure in the treatment of a deep puncture wound of the palm of the hand with profuse haemorrhage would be to cut down and ligate the first artery to be seen. It was obvious that this would not sufhce and Dr. Ferris told him so bluntly. The same objection-anastamosis of neighboring arteries-held with every suggestion that Bernstein made, while all the time he was getting further and further up the arm. At last he was advising tieing off the blood-supply of the entire arm, high above the elbow. Dr. Ferris suggested gently that this might cause gangrene, at which Berney gave up in despair and, scratching his head said, when Dr. Ferris asked him what else he could do, XVell, I guess I'd call a doctor. And theres Gene Black. You'd never think to look at him that he had had an experience, in his life. But it is whispered that he did have one once-a very sad affair they say it was. You know what a keen one Gene is on college customs and all that. XVell they say that one day last year he had HER up for one of the foot-ball games. After the game-it wasnt a big one-things were pretty quiet and i'Gene thought he'd take the young woman around the campus. He had been-very foolishly-telling her hour delightfully free and easy the fellows were and as the lights were THE YEAR BOOK. 105 beginning to spring up in the windows here and there in the dormitories, 4'Gene played his trump card. He said to the girl, VVait a minute and I'll show you something nice. As they went along a little further he put his 'hands up to his mouth and with all the lustiness of a typical Yale man, shouted up to the window of a man he knew, Oh-h-h-ah, Jack. Stick -your head out! The answer came back without delay-like a pistol shot: Aw, go to H-. I'm studying. Needless to say the young lady was impressed with Yale customs. I Wihen Goodrich Smith was heeling for the Medical Journal, one of the editors sent him over to Dwight Hall one Sunday afternoon to report one -of the meetings of the Medical Y. M. C. A. His copy looked all right when he handed it in and read well, until the editors found one place that they blue penciled most thoroughly. It ran like this. At this juncture P. B. Chandler arose and gave a short, snappy prayer. One afternoon Titus expected a fellow up to his room to see him, but got tired of waiting and decided to take a bath. He pinned a note up on 'the door for the fellow which said. T am taking a bath. Titus. ' That seemed suflicient explanation and, thinking that the fellow would see the note and go in and wait for him he went on with his toilette. Some wit 'happened to be wandering around the halls and saw the notice pinned up in that conspicuous place, apparently for the benefit of everyone in the dormitory. He read it through, fished in his pocket a minute, found a pencil, wrote a couple of words thereon and tip-toed off down the hall. This 'is what Titus found on the bottom of the note: Thank Heaven! Wfhen O'Brien was substituting last summer at the New Haven Hos- pital he used often to get telephone calls from some sweet-voiced personage -but one day he unwisely kept the young lady waiting on the wire for him nearly five minutes. The next afternoon a telephone call came for Dr. O'Brien. He answered-a feminine voice said, 'KHello! Hello! Dr. -O'Brien ? He answered Yes The reply came, 'Wkfait a minute. Think- ing of course that the Central was trying to connect him he waited. ln a moment came the voice again, 4'Your 1ninute's up and bang went the receiver at the other end. Speaking of substituting at the Hospital makes me think of the time 'Chandler was there. One night he had just brought a patient in on the 'ambulance and was standingyaround, trying to fold his hands into his 'pockets or something of the kind, when one of the nurses who was working pretty hard spied this able-bodied man and said, Here you, orderly. 'VVhat are you standing around like that for. Don't you see we want that BACTERIOLOGY AND PATHOLOGY LABQRAATORY, MEDICAL HALL, YALE THE YEAR BOOK. 1o7 patient moved. Hurry up nowfl And Chandler moved him!! It is said that the position of orderly is given by faculty appointment. You all know Kinne's reputation. Wfell, one stormy, blustering night last XVinter he was coming up Chapel street and wanted to know what time it was. Naturally, he wouldnt think of going to the trouble as long as there were any easy marks left in the world, so he stopped the next man he met and, in that oily manner of his said, Sir, do you know what time it is ? - The man stopped, sized him up for a moment, unbuttoned and removed the glove from his right hand, unbuttoned his overcoat, then his undercoat, pulled out hisawatch, gazed at it an instant and as he passed on he mur- mured, I dof, MPa Nevin substituted at the Hospital for a short time during the year, also, and got in wrong at once, by coming under the observing eyes of Miss Maude Nett. She, with her usual keenness, HfL11HblCCl,i immediately and, one day sent everybody away from the ofhce because she wanted to talk to Dr. Nevin. Nobody, to this day, knows what happened except that he came back pretty soon and said, Gosh! I don't know what to think about her. She don't know me and she called me 'Pa' Do you suppose she's goneand got stuck on me? XVhile Black was taking care of a case in the pavilion, one of the nurses, by way of passing the time of day, said to him, I think, Dr. Black, that you spend a great deal of time out in the pavilion,', meaning that the patient was not the only attraction there. Black replied airily, You won't get jealous, will you, please ? The nurse was, to quote, f'furious, and Black is still wondering why she has been so cool since. Witllotit going into the details I want to tell you about the day that Smith and Sheehan and Titus hired a horse and wagon-for three-to ride from Wfallingford to the Gaylord Farm Sanitarium-how they picked up Vlfhalen and Schuele on the road, most apparent that it was a pre-arranged plan to don the livery man-how the aforementioned keeper of the stables saw them through a field-glass and started after them with a fast horse and the deputy sheriff-how after a long and spirited chase over the hills with Smith acting as chauffeur and Schuele working the whip, they were caught-how Whalen demanded indignantly, when the irate owner of the steed drew up across the road and forbade any further progress in that style, if he was looking for trouble. And how, when the man said excitedly, No, I was looking for yef' Smith said softly and sweetly, XVell, thou hast found us, and how that cost them four dollars more when they had aoS THE YEAR BOOK. about decided that twenty-hve cents apiece was reasonable for extra passen- -gers and-how they got their moneys worth in the wild dash that followed. Finally I must tell of how Smith went out several times to look at the horse, which, after it had been hitched about an hour was breathing so hard that it shook the wagon, and in a little while was heard to whisper anxiously ,to Titus-in the 'middle of the clinic- Say, Tite, do you suppose that plug's got arterio-sclerosis. 'Cause if he has he's liable to drop dead any minute. I just went out to look at him and he's in a poor way. And then, rather than to meet the livery man again, they sent the horse back to Vlfallingford and all went around by Cheshire where, after properly cele- brating their escape and toasting the VVallingford League of Liverymen, -they went back to New Haven by trolley. C And the horse was only wind-broken after all! But it was this day that Sorock who went back on the train, unlike -the criminals, became impatient when the train was delayed in the railroad -cut, got out, climbed about fifteen feet up the bank, fell back and sprained his ankle. This wasn't any joke, however, but the truth of the little ditty that Tommy Thompson left with us, was brought home- 0f all sad words that ever was wrote, The saddest are these, 'Sotrock's the goatf And speaking of Sorock makes me think of the day in class when the roll was being called that Titus, who was sitting next him, clapped one hand over Sorock's mouth as the professor was calling down the line towards them, and, gripping him hrmly with the other, replied in a quiet, calm voice when Goats name was called, Sorock is absent to-day, doctor. And he was marked absent and had an awful time explaining after class 'that he had been there all the time. I wonder how many men in the Class know that Schuele killed two 'birds with the same stone the day he went to Newark to try the examinations for Newark City Hospital? lt's so. however. for he not only made the hospital but was invited out to dinner and, fell in love. I heard that it was more a matter of pity than anything else, though, for at the table the young -woman was unfortunate enough to have some difficulty with an awkwardly placed table-leg and George. hard up for small talk, said sweetly, during a lull in the conversation, That's an uncomfortably large leg you have there, isn't it P Then he tried so hard to explain that she really felt sorry for 'him and now-blue letters with pink ink-and pink letters with blue ribbon, and just a dash of heliotrope to make 'em smell good-and all with the same post-mark!!! lt's too bad. He was a nice fellow, too. THE YEAR BOOK. IOQ' One day one of the fellows-I'1n not sure just who it was but l heard that it was Joe Sheehan-was walking up and down Chapel street and saw something that looked pretty good to him. So he stepped up and, making an elaborate bow said, May I walk a way with you. The fairy replied, Surest thing you know, and, waxing confidential, The Yale boys always was good to me, so l likes to be good to the Yalesesf' joe fled. But that isn't a circumstance to the night that-I wouldn't dare men- tion his name, for he has asked me at least a dozen times in the last few' Clays not to tell anything about him the lives in New Haven and he's a very important personage, indeed!-well, anyway, he was walking on a poorly' lighted street. Seeing a young and graceful looking bit of femininity ahead of him, unescorted, and it was late, too, he thought, That's too bad. Tt's surely up to mef, So he hastened his steps and catching up with her, said, You don't mind if T walk along with you, do you? No reply and-gloom with him. Undaunted, he tried again. This brought results-like this, Ah thinks you-all done mistake youahself, sah. Ah's culludf' He lied, too. Two of the fellows were walking over York street one noon, with Gil- bert, when an automobile frightened a horse hitched to one of the Yale' W'ater XVagons and he started to run. One of the fellows ran out and, after making a poor attempt to stop the horse jumped out of the way, and went back on the walk only to be kidded umnercifnlly by Gil and the other man, until they were attracted by the crash of water-bottles as the equifppage swung around the corner and dashed down the street, cheered by a crowd of students and on-lookers, and ran to see the excitement. just then the man in the automobile grabbed the hrst fellow and said, Now you saw that this thing was not my fault. That horse wasn't hitched and T'd like your name, in case T get into any trouble for this' The fellow sai-l, I'd be vc-ry glad in-.leecl to help. My name is A. C. Gilbert and here is my address, giving him Gil's. Don't hesitate to call on me. 'iGil hasn't been subpocned yet, but it's expected soon. Lots of queer things have happened during the four years we have been together and l could tell you a great deal more, but my life is in danger now. Only a solemn pledge of secrecy on the part of the editors- persuaded me to ever consent to tell what T have. CHAMPION FOOT BALL ELEVEN, 1907 A. E. BRIDES, 1910, M.

LANE, MD., 203 York Street, New Haven, Con1IL Yale Medical Alumni Association The Yale Medical Alumni Association had its beginning in the Yale Medical Society, which was organized june 9, 1880. The earliest record we have reads as follows: Members of the classes of I87O, 1830, 188 1, 1882 and 1883, and Fleishner of 1878 were the founders of this Society. NVith the single named exception, its original ll1Gllll3GI'S were undergraduates, and the Society was organized as a college association of stude11ts. As such it lived vigorously, and had tivo notable meeti gs in ISSO and 1881. Then it hibernated until Crane of 1883, caused its awakening. Thereafter, it rap- idly developel into an Alumni Association. As the Yale Medical Society, it seems to have been astrictly secret organization. .All elaborate initiation ceremony was provided for in the constitution, and a court of justice was established in which all offenders were tried and punished. Section two of the Constitution sets forth the object of the Society to be the promotion of fellowship and scientific and literary culture. Section three says that any member of the Yale Medical School or any graduate of this or any other regular medical institution may be admitted to membership. A little further on it limits the active membership to undergraduates of the Yale Medical School. The ofhcers of this early Society consisted of a VVorthy Chief, a Wiorthy Assistant Chief, a 'Worthy Scribe and a Wortliyf Guard. The regular meet- ings were held on the first and third YVednesdays of each month during term time. From 1880 to October, 1887, no record of the doings. of this Society can be found. On October 4, 1887, a new Constitution was adopted which modified the former in some respects. This made it a less strictly secret organization. Though still retaining some of its secret work, it provided for monthly instead of bi-monthly meetings, and changed the names of the officers to President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer, and Custo- dian, and defined the duties of these officers to be those usually falling to such positions. From this time on the Society held monthly meetings, and had a banquet in june, 1888. On june 25, 1889, a new Constitution was adopted 116 THE YEAR BOOK. which limited the membership to Senior undergraduates in the Medical School and to graduates of the Department. This Constitution left out all reference to any secret work, and modified the form of initiation to merely assenting to the Constitution and an obligation. The monthly meetings were continued. It had not yet become an Alumni Society, but was fast approaching that ideal. V In june, 1892, at the Annual Meeting, the discussion came to an end and definite amendments to the Constitution were proposed which changed the Society into an Alumni Association. This new Constitution was adopted on june 27, 1893, and with a very few changes is the Constitution of to-day. This Constitution provides that the Association shall be known as the Yale Medical Alumni Association. Its members shall consist of the grad- uates of the Medical Department of Yale University. Members of the Faculty of the Yale Medical School who are not graduates of the School are ex-oj'?cz'o honorary members of the Association. It provides for an Annual Meeting which is held on the Monday pre- ceding Commencement, notice of which meeting is sent to every member one month before the date of the meeting. The officers consist of a President, ive Vice-Presidents, a Secretary and Treasurer. The President and Vice-Presidents are elected annuallyg the Secretary and Treasurer hold ofhce for three years. The duties ofthese officers are such as usually fall to them in every organization. The election of new members is held at each Annual Meet- ing. There is no formal application, for memberships are voted on, and each member is required to sign the Constitution. At each meeting a chairman of the Executive Committee is elected. He, with the Secretary and Vice-Presidents constitute this Committee. They are required to hold at least one meeting during the year, notice of which meeting must be sent to each member. The duties of this Committee are to report on the desirability of candi- dates for election at the Annual Meeting, and to appoint a sub-committee from their own number to audit the Treasurens accounts. The Committee also provides for an annual banquet, which is held on the same day as the Annual Meeting. There islalso elected at the Animal Meeting a Chairman and one mem- ber of a Lecture Committee, who, with the Secretary, provide for the Annual Lecture Course. Since the establishment of a Lecture Committee there has been an Annual Lecture Course provided each year. Including this year's course, THE YEAR BOOK. 117 it has been maintained for seven years? Amcng the lecturers have been such men as Dr. Geo, J. Adam of Montreal and Dr. Williaiii S. Thayer of Baltimore, Dr. Maurie Richardson of Boston and Dr. Simon P. Flexner of New York. In the beginning the course consisted of three lectures. After two or three years it was thought best 'to have only two each season. Notices of the lectures have been sent to all members of the Association and to all physicians of New Haven and to many in the surrounding towns. The lecture course seems now to be established on a permanent basis. As far as possible the lectures are published and copies sent to all members of the Association. At the last Annual Meeting the membership of the Asssociation was three hundred and eight. The dues are only nominal-two dollars initia- tion fee and one dollar a year thereafter. Each year a larger proportion of the graduating class become members of the Association, and the interest of the older graduates in the affairs of the Medical School is being increased.

It's kind' of far from the Medical School but the land-lady says its pleasant in the Spring to walk and besides it's near the hospital, which is important for us medical students. 120 THE YEAR BOOK. October 3, 190-. It's kind of funny nobody spots me for a Freshman. But they don't seem to know it, anybody on the street. I bought 21 little felt hat that the man in the store said all the students wore. Seventy-five' cents seems a lot for a hat like that but I suppose you have to be like a student as long as your going to be one. October Io, IQO-'. I've met a lot of the fellows in my class and I like studying medicine. I'll bet ma'd be surprised to hear me say polymor- phonuclear leucocyte. Books are kind of expensive. Had to write pa for some more money for books. October 25, 190-. Meta girl that lives here yesterday. Another fel- low introduced me to her. I told her I was a student. She said 'A Sheff. or Academic? and when I said Medical, she laughed. I wonder what she laughed at. November 5, .190-. My boarding house is fine. They charge 33.25 a week, which I think is pretty high. The twenty-ive cents extra is for fruit, mornings. Had to write pa again because I had to buy some more books. They're pretty expensive. Nov. Io, 190-. Saw a foot-ball game yesterday. . I don't see why they have so many seats because they aren't nearly filled at the games VVe beat. I'm getting tired living at a boarding house. Tl1ere's so little variety. December 1, 190-. Saw the Yale-Harvard foot-ball game. It was pretty line. Gosh they had a crowd. I cheered for Yale, of course, my college. We beat. Had to buy some more books yesterday. December II, 190-. Saw the Sophomores dissecting. I'll be glad when we begin to dissect. It's so much like operating, That makes me think. I forgot to tell about the operation I saw at the New Haven Plos- pital. I got a lot of good notes on it. Ilm glad we live so near the Hos- pital, and a fellow needs to walk a little distance every day, for exercise, especially when he's studying so hard. Had to write pa for some money for some instruments I needed, yesterday. Pa says he thinks I must be learning fast, and that I must have quite a library started by this time. He was Years of Practice so he doesn't understand the way they start you right off here, with a great deal of theoretical knowledge. Am going home next week, if Ican pass the Chemistry examination. December 31, 190-. Have been so busy that I haven't had time to Write in my diary. Ma was tickled because I passed the exam. I told her I made second division and she thought that was line until pa asked me how many divisions there were. I was so mad that I told him six. Gee, the fellows and girls are fine to me because I'm the only Yale man that ever came from our town. Pa tried to quiz me the other night but I told THE YEAR BOOK. 121' him that our work was largely theoretical at first and that I couldn't answer his questions except in Chemistry. Pa never had Chemistry. Squedunk Dazbl Sgueal. Squedunk, Dec. 23, 190-. Dr. William Flunk, son of Dr. Hasheen A, Flunk of this township, is at home from his strenuous labors at Yale Col- lege in New Haven. He is having a vacation at his medical school, so is- sojourning with his parents for a spell. Glad to see you back, Bill! Squedunk Dazbf Sgueaf. Squedunk, jan. 5, IQO-. Dr. H. A. Flunk's son, William Flunk, M. D., has left his parent's roof to go back to his college at New Haven, Conn., to resume his study of medicine. Williaiii is a rising young man and it is whispered that several of the Squedunk young ladies have set. their caps for him. Look out for 'em Bill. Diary: February I, 190-. Gosh, the grub is bum at our boarding-house. Everything cold, and chicken with ice cream every Sunday. And the- snow is blamed deep mornings from Howard Avenue down to school. I'm going to live nearer next year. Bought some more books last week. VVrote father the same time. March Io, 190-. Smoked a cigarette last night. I heard a fellow say the other day that Yale men smoke more than any other college students- Needed some instruments last week. Theylre pretty expensive. VVrote home last week. March 30, 190-. Managed to save quite a little money out of what pa. has sent me off and on this winter for little things I needed. I think I have been very economical. Guess I'll go to New York with some of the- fellows next week. I'm losing a little weight from studying and-that grub at our boarding-house. April 22, 190-. Bought a pound can of Yale Mixture tobacco last week. Got a dandy pipe with silver numerals on it instead of going to' New York. It has a big Y with my class on it. I cantt smoke it on the street though, because Freshmen canlt smoke anything but cigarettes on the street. I use it for a room-pipe. Had to write pa for money enough to buy ten boxes of slides for the laboratory. May 6, 190-. Bought a new suit at Goldenberg's Gosh! It cost me twenty-one dollars, but a fellow has to dress well and like the other fellows. He looked so funny when I paid him for the suit that afternoon I got it, that my medical instincts were aroused. I think he has kidney trouble, -122 THE YEAR BOOK. Thatls my diagnosis and I told him so. Had to write for money enough to buy a clinical thermometer last week. Pa says that when I come back this summer he thinks that I Won't need to go back to college again but that he'll take me right into his office. june 2c, 190-. I-Iave been cramming for exams. so that I couldn't write in my diary for quite a long While. Am waiting for the report from the Dean now. I'm not sure that I killed them all-the exams. MEDICAL DEPARTMENT OF YALE UNIVERSITY. New Haven, Conn., func 29th, 190--. Mr. W. Flank, Sir: You are hereby informed that your annual examinations for l9O-- are parity satisfactory to the Faculty. Your present standing in the School is that of a member of the Sophomore class. With conditions in Anatomy and Physiology. Per order of the Faculty. E Squedunk Dazly Sgueal. Squedunk, june 29, 190-. Dr. Williaiii Flunk has returned home after a year's sojourn in the class-rooms of Vale Medical College. He has received an important promotion by the faculty of his college, so his father, Dr. Hasbeen A. Flunk, tells us. Bill, you're the hero of Squedunk! Bill will probably relieve his father somewhat in his practice during the summer. He goes back to the Yale college in September for more study. Diary: ' june 30, 190-. Pa gave it to me, I tell you. Gosh! Squedunk Daily Sgzaml. Squedunk, Sept. 28, 190-. W'illiam Flunk of this town has gone back THE YE.41e BOOK. I 23 to New Haven to read some more medicine in his preparation for a degree of Medical Doctor. 'It was expected that VVilliam would help his father, Dr. H. A. Flunk, with his practice this last summer, but he decided that after a year of study and such sedentary life, he had best to do out-door Work, so that he hired out to Farmer jones on the Turnpike. YVilliam's in good training now to wrastle with the books another year. He is fast becoming a valuable citizen. Don't let 'em sell you any wooden nutmegs down there in New Haven, Conn., Bill! Diary: ' ' October 30, 190-. This diary's goiug to be blamed short and sweet this year and so's my cash account. Pa gave me the devil a lsummer long for buying that suit. YVish I'd left it in New Haven. I told pa it only cost E12 but he just snorted. It lk a pretty good looking suit, only it got shiny kind of easy. The fellows say you can get credit at the tailors around town as long as you're a student.

Golde-nberg's sent me a pretty strong letter with a bill for that suit I got there last winter. I thought you could get fredii here, He says he'll send the bill home if I don't pay up. Woiicler if he'd dare 'do it. Guess I'l1 go around and see him. Bought more books the other day. July 9, IQO-. Goldenberg sent it home, so I decided not to go home after the letter pa wrote me.

Personal: Dr. VVilliam Flunk is spending the summer at the Hotel Rustican, Woodmont-on-the-Sound, Connecticut. Bill's getting real swell ll Diary: November 23, 190-. It seems pretty good to be a junior. I heard one of the fellows say the other day that I was blamed flip-I never heard that expression before but I guess it's a good trait because a little while later he came up to me and began to talk about Yale clubs. I-Ie's a Senior and it's a good thing to know the Seniors. I drank a glass of beer last night. It made me feel kind of funny for a little while but I guess I can hold as much as the next man. November 24, 190-. Something pretty fine happened to me last night.. I had been studying in my room when I heard a rap on the door. I said 4' Come in and the door opened and in walked six fellows wearing black masks. I was scared at iirst but you can't scare me for long. One of them said, Mr. Flunk. We have the honor to inform you that you have received an election to the Yale Club of Rinky-Dink. Will you join us ? I didn't know what to think at first until I remembered about that Senior talking clubs to me. Then I knew. so I said, Well, I don't care much about it but seeing you went to the trouble to come around, I guess I'll join. Then they went on and initiated me. I can't write down any-I thing about the ceremony because it was secret, but some of the things. they did were funny. They made me undress down to my waist and pray and painted me up with red paint like an Indian and I must wear different colored socks and shoes that aren't mates to college for a week. I have an engagement to take my club-mates to dinner at Heubleinls to night. Squedunk Ddllgjl Squeal. Special: New Haven, Conn., Nov. 27, I9o-. Dr. William Flunk of Squedunk, was last night elected to the wealthy Yale club. This is a society ofthe most popular young men attending the Yale college and is- called Rinky-Dink. William is one of the best known men in the East and everyone in Yale votes him a jolly good fellow. William is traveling ini high society Since he left Squedunk. Diary: March 15, 190-. Getting along toward Easter vacation time and Ill be glad of a vacation. It's funny about that society that I joined last Fall. I paid tendollars for a society pin and that masked banquet cost me fifteen THE YEAR BOOK. 125 dollars more and they haven't sent me any notice of meetings, yet. I went around to the address that one of them gave me and said was where their society rooms were, but the woman said the only rinky-dinks she knew there, were the rinky students that were too dinky small to pay their room- rent to her that they had owed for three months. Guess I'll hear about it pretty soon, though. Diary : December 15, 190-. I'm a Senior now but I've got two conditions. Guess I won't keep a diary this year because I'll have to study so hard that I won't have time for it. june 28, 190-. Plunked my exams!

Dr. XVillia1n Flunk, who is widely known and fondly remembered in this township, as the son of Dr. Hasbeen A. Flunk, graduated from the Yale College Medical School last june. He is studying in Europe, probably with some of the old masters now. He has been so busy with his studies of medicine that he has not graced Squedunk with his presence in about three years. He will stay in Europe a year and begin practice in Squedunk next summer. BY P.

Retrospects 'J' The task of editing the Year Book of 1908 is, with this final word, at. an end. It might be said that the undergraduate history of the Class of 19025 ends here, though the history, proper, of the Class is but begun. All this has meant work-many obstacles have been met and, in a measure, overcome. If there be a favorable word-if anyone derive a pleasure from this book we shall feel that we are rewarded, and that we- have attained our object in the work we have done. There will be criticism-invariably the case, no matter what be the object of the enterprise, for that which may please one will displease another. It is not without some fear and trembling that we await the coming into the hands of friends of the School, of this work, for we are anxious concerning the manner of its reception. If, by coming into other hands, it make friends for the School, we will be immeasurably compensated. If success be our reward-it will be due to the hearty support given by the Class, and the interest taken by the members of the other classes of the- School and the Faculty. All who have been connected with the book in any way, have taken a cordial attitude toward it, and if the number of times that the question, How soon will the Book be outf' has been asked, be any guage of the desire for its success, then that desire is, to say the least, gratifving. It may seem somewhat out of place for the editorial we to say any- concerning our fellow-editors, but the cheerfulness with which every task assigned has been undertaken-the promptness, despite other calls- upon their time and attention, with which those tasks have been completed, as well as the invariable accuracy, calls for more than a passing notice- even a word or two of sincere thanks to Mr. Noyes and Mr. McGrath. Were it not for what they have done the Book could not have been issued, for the time was short and the difficulties more than could have been anticipated, or can, now, be fully realized. x28 THE YEAR BOOK. Too, time and again has Dean Smith dropped his work to attend to the wants of one of L' us, breathless with the desire to rush this copy down to the printer. He has allowed his sanctum to be invaded at most unreasonable hours: he has dustied his Hngers rummaging in the store- room after cuts for usug he has, in short, given freely of his time and labor for the Book. It is needless to say that we are grateful to him. There is one hope that the present Board holds to earnestly. This is, that the Year Book will be perpetuated. In 1897, a book called The Symptom Record was issued with some success. After that some other volumes appeared, but at varying intervals, and with varying success. This is a thing to be seriously considered and it must be felt that the experiences of the present Board will be an aid to those to COIHG. It is good for the undergraduates, because it cements them more closely togetherg it is good for the School because it fosters spirit. These two are omnipotent enough to make a real need 'for the Year Book. Two men met outside a church one Sunday-one had just come out. Said the nrst, Has he finished his sermon yet? The other man answered, Long ago, but hels still talking. Tl1ere's nothing more to say-we dislike to stop talking, for the subjects of the Class and the School are dear ones to us. The time has come, however, for the Ubenediction and we say, pointing to our Class-19o8- Hail to Thee, Mother of Men-Old Yale. Ah, make the most of what we yet may spend.

YALE UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT oF MEDICINE THE Yale Medical School was chartered in 1810, and is the oldest of the professional depart- ments of Yale University. The course leading to the degree of Doctor of Medicine is a graded one, extending over four years 'of thirty-four weeks each, exclusive of izacalions. The curriculum consists of lectures supplemented by recitations from assigned reading, combined with thorough individual personal instruction in Laboratories and Clinics. LABORATORY INSTRUCTION THE School has thoroughly equipped laboratories of Anatomy, I-Iistology, Chemistry, Physiology Pathology, Bacteriology and Clinical Medicine and Surgery. CLINICAL INSTRUCTION THE Yale University Clinic, which contains the New Haven Dispensary, is a large thoroughly equipped building, having all the most modern facilities for the treatment of out-patients. It treats -over l7,000 patients annually. The work is divided between the members of the senior class, who serve in rotation for four weeks upon each of the clinics, not more than four men being assigned to one clinic, so that each student has .himself each day several patients to treat under the direction of the clinical assistants, -of whom there are usually two to each clinic. There are separate clinics for Medicine, Surgery, Gynecology, Obstetrics, Neurology, Orthopedics, Opthalmology, Laryngology and Otology, Pediatrics and Dermato- logy, in which in the course of the year every opportunity is given to diagnose and treat the usual manifestations of disease under conditions closely simulating office practice. - The New Iflaven Hospital, containing about two hundred beds, is on the next block to the University 'Clinic and instruction is given here by frequent clinics in the wards and theaters.
