PREFACE 
 
 For many years prior to 1915 it was the custom of this society 
 to issue a Year-Book for the information and convenience of the 
 members. This practice was interrupted in that year for reasons 
 appertaining to the war which it is necessary merely to mention. 
 
 In resuming the custom this book must cover the changes and 
 events of the seven memorable years that have intervened. These 
 changes and events have been so many and so extraordinary, and 
 have affected the members so deeply that it is the wish of the so- 
 ciety to have a record of them and to make the book besides, so 
 far as it may be made, a memorial to those who lost their lives in 
 the Great War. It is not intended that it should magnify nor glorify 
 the part played by Bellevue men, nor Bellevue women neither, but 
 to set down the record, mindful at the same time of the achieve- 
 ments and superb heroism of others in this war. 
 
 It is due to those who have communicated some of the facts, 
 to say that they are in no way responsible for the way in which 
 these facts are presented; they have not been consulted in this 
 regard; and it is deeply appreciated how far short of the adequate 
 the presentation is. But the facts themselves are eloquent and so 
 the attempt has been made to place them, as far as possible, in 
 relation to concurrent events. In doing this the following books 
 have been used: "A History of the Great War," by Sir Arthur 
 Conan Doyle, vols. V and VI, and "The History of the A. E. F.", by 
 Captain Shipley Thomas, both published in 1920 by The George H. 
 Doran Company who kindly gave permission to quote therefrom; 
 "Canada at War,"' by J. Castell Hopkins, and published by the same 
 house, has been read, and also "The Panama Canal," by Frederic 
 J. Haskin, Doubleday, Page & Co. We are specially indebted to 
 Professor Howard A. Kelly for his notable book, "Walter Reed 
 and Yellow Fever" and for his cordial consent to make free use 
 of the book and to reproduce the portrait of Doctor Lazear, as well. 
 Major Harold M. Hays's "Cheerio" has been a great help; it is 
 the story of an American medical officer on the British front; "The 
 American Red Cross in the Great War," by the late Henry P. 
 Davison is a fine account of the American Red Cross work. Our 
 acknowledgments are made to these and our thanks for the courtesy 
 extended to quote from them. Numerous newspaper obituary sketches 
 have given valuable clues and have suggested lines of inquiry of 
 relatives and intimate friends to whom we gratefully acknowledge 
 our indebtedness. Among these are ex-Lieut.-Col. Newell, ex-Lieut.- 
 Col. Sanger Brown, II. Lieut.-Col. Austin of the 104th F. A. and 
 
preface 
 
 Miss Clara D. Noyes, Director General of the Nursing Service, 
 American Red Cross, whose names appear in the text, and Miss 
 Lucy Minnigerode, Bellevue "98, who is Superintendent of Nurses 
 of the U. S. Public Health Service. Doctor Robert P. Wadhams, 
 ex-Lieut.-Col., M. C, 27th Division, A.E.F., Miss Mary L. Slayton, 
 of Bellevue T 82 and Mrs. Freda K. Archer of Watkins, N. Y., an 
 intimate friend of Miss Delano. Besides these, the officials of the 
 Training School, Miss De Long and Miss Allen, have helped in 
 innumerable ways. Doctor Menas S. Gregory and Doctor M. L. 
 Thornton and the staff of Doctor O'Hanlon's office have assisted 
 materially. 
 
 We cannot adequately express our appreciation of the courtesy 
 and good-will shown to Bellevue by the officers of the U. S. Aviation 
 service at Mitchell Field and the trouble they took in getting the 
 photograph which is reproduced as the frontispiece; to Major Moose, 
 the commanding officer of Mitchell Field, Major Bauer in command 
 of the Medical Research Laboratory and Captain John B. Power, 
 M.C., formerly House Physician on the First Division of Bellevue, 
 now at Mitchell Field we extend our thanks for this great favor. 
 
 Through the good offices of Lieut.-Col. William S. Terriberry, we 
 obtained the photograph of the portrait of Surgeon General Gorgas 
 and the statement that Brigadier General Noble thinks this the 
 very best likeness that he has seen; it shows General Gorgas as 
 he looked just prior to his retirement. 
 
 All those of Bellevue who died in the war are recorded here. 
 There are no available data concerning all Bellevue men who served 
 in the war. It will be understood that this record comprises only 
 the services of members of the society both at home and abroad and 
 whether in uniform or not; there were a good many others of the 
 staff, some who were not eligible to membership, but the greater 
 number of graduates of the house staff are included. One hundred 
 and forty-four Bellevue nurses went into the service. 
 
 It is difficult to give a clear description of the disarrangement and 
 confusion that prevailed at the hospital because of the war. This 
 went so far that the Bellevue authorities had to request of the War 
 Department a ruling that doctors, nurses and hospital workers should 
 not be called into active service while on duty in the hospital, as 
 otherwise it would be impossible for the hospital to carry on. The 
 list of Associate Members shows a number granted military leave, 
 but these are those only who had reached the grade of house physician 
 or surgeon. Mr. James K. Paulding, the secretary of the Board 
 of Trustees was requisitioned by the Red Cross and sent to France 
 in November, 1917; he was away on military leave till the summer 
 of rp 19 . 19- Tne cnan g e s, as a matter of fact, were constant. 
 
 This was by no means the first time such a thing had occurred 
 at Bellevue however. During the civil war in the entire period, 
 1861-1865, of ninety-one men on the house staff, six died while 
 on duty, and of the eighty-five that were left, forty-nine entered 
 
military service and six others after completing their full time. 
 
 Courses in military surgery were given at the hospital in 1917 
 and also in radiology; the latter by Doctor I. S. Hirsch. All the 
 members of the psychiatric department were called into the service 
 and many of the pathological; Doctor Guy Halifax Wallace of this 
 department was commissioned in the Canadian army but had to 
 be discharged for disability; he died of pneumonia in December, 
 1918. Doctor Benjamin M. Vance was in the A.E.F. and was 
 wounded. The enlisted men of the Bellevue unit were taken into 
 the wards in detachments and given instruction by the nurses before 
 going oversea. 
 
 The historian has received a great deal of aid in proof-reading, 
 particularly in the matter of the Roll of Members, from Doctor 
 Eben Foskett and in other ways as well. 
 
 The executives of the Edgar Printing Company have been very 
 efficient and very considerate in the matter of construction and 
 reconstruction.

HERBERT JONES 
 
HERBERT JONES 
 
 Major, Canadian Army Medical Corps, 
 
 Surgeon 5th Canadian Field Ambulance, 
 
 2nd Canadian Division, B.E.F. 
 
 Died at Aubigny, Pas-de-Calais, March 5, 1917. 
 
 House Physician on the Fourth Medical Division from 
 January till July, 1911; A.B., University of Toronto, 1900, 
 M.D., 1904. 
 
 Doctor Jones was born in Hamilton, Ontario, on Sep- 
 tember 2, 1874. He was educated at the Hamilton Central 
 Public School and then at the Collegiate Institute in that 
 city before entering the arts course at Toronto. After his 
 graduation in medicine he went to Europe for post-graduate 
 work, studying in London, Vienna, Berlin and in France, 
 but most of his time during two years abroad he spent 
 under Finkelstein in Berlin and he returned there after 
 finishing his interneship at Bellevue in 1911, for six months 
 further study, especially in diseases of children which he 
 intended making his specialty. 
 
 Beginning practice in his native city he soon became 
 one of the chief consulting practitioners in children's dis- 
 eases in Hamilton and the surrounding country; he was 
 Chief of the Children's Department in Hamilton General 
 Hospital. 
 
 Doctor Jones was now forty years old; he had spent 
 a great deal of time in preparing himself and was well 
 established in his profession when the war began. He 
 was unmarried — he did not hesitate; in October, 1914, he 
 volunteered for service. On December 12th he was commis- 
 sioned Captain in the Canadian Army Medical Corps and 
 appointed to the 5th Field Ambulance in Toronto. Captain 
 Jones proceeded oversea on April 18, 1915 and for five 
 
Herbert H 011*0 
 
 months he was stationed at Otterspool on the Mersey. He 
 arrived in France on September 19th. On November 20, 
 1915 he was promoted to the rank of Major. He served 
 in France and Belgium. 
 
 In the early summer of 1916 Major Jones got leave of 
 absence and went to England. This was to meet Miss 
 Nellie Paulin of Toronto. They were married in London 
 on June 13th, and shortly he returned to the front. 
 
 The great assault on Verdun which had begun in Febru- 
 ary, 1916, had enforced quiet, comparatively speaking, on 
 the British front but preparations were now making for 
 the "great push" on the Somme. The Canadians, with 
 their 2nd and 3rd Divisions arrived, were formed into an 
 army corps. Already they had an established reputation 
 as proper fighters. Early in the year 1915, at the second 
 battle of Ypres, they had shown superb valor, holding the 
 line in the first asphyxiating gas attack and so saving the 
 British army from defeat and later at Givenchy, before 
 Loos. 
 
 In April, 1916, the 2nd Division fought at St Eloi and 
 after the battle of the Somme began, again covered them- 
 selves with glory in the terrific fighting at Courcelette. 
 Major Jones served through this fighting. The casualities 
 in the Canadian army from the beginning of June till the 
 end of 1916 were over forty-seven thousand men. 
 
 Toward the end of February, 1917, Major Jones was 
 taken down with pneumonia and on March 5th he suc- 
 cumbed; he died at No. 42 Casualty Clearing Station at 
 Aubigny, northwest of Arras. 
 
 Mrs. Jones was at Crowsborough in Sussex, England, 
 and there, three weeks after her husband's death, on March 
 27th, a child was born to her. 
 
 Mrs. Jones, with her daughter, Mary Pauline, is now 
 living with her brother, Captain, Reverend J. B. Paulin 
 at 36 North Sherburne Street, Toronto. 
 
 Major Herbert Jones was the first Bellevue man to lay 
 down his life in the war.

 Lieutenant, M.C., U.S.A. 
 
 Surgeon 9th Battalion, Royal Irish Fusiliers, 
 
 36th Division, B.E.F. 
 
 British Military Cross — posthumous. 
 
 Killed in action near Wulverghem, Flanders, 
 April 12, 1918. 
 
 Harold Sydney Morgan joined the House Staff on 
 January 1, 1916, having received the two-year surgical ap- 
 pointment on the Second Division. On July 1, 1917, he 
 entered on his house service; on August 1st he obtained a 
 lieutenant's commission and on August 8th, at his own re- 
 quest, he was granted indefinite leave from Bellevue to enter 
 military service. He joined the replacement group of Base 
 Hospital 2 (Presbyterian Unit) which went over to fill 
 the places of men withdrawn from that unit and sent to 
 the British front. This group left New York on October 
 3rd aboard the "Cedric," and reported at Base Hospital 2 
 at ktretat on October 17th. 
 
 Lieutenant Morgan was here but a little over five weeks. 
 Before daybreak on November 24th he and two others set 
 out on orders to report directly to the 36th, Ulster, Division, 
 B.E.F. The senior of these three, Captain Harold M. Hays 
 in his book "Cheerio," which he dedicated to the memory 
 of Sydney Morgan and others, feelingly describes their 
 tribulations during the hunt of a day and a half for the 
 Thirty-sixth. Lieutenant Morgan was attached at first to 
 a field ambulance and sent to an advanced dressing station 
 but before the end of the year he was made battalion sur- 
 geon to the Royal Irish Fusiliers, which constituted the 
 109th Brigade of the division then stationed a few miles 
 
^aioltt &j>biup S^ocgan 
 
 north of Peronne. While with the ambulance and the 
 Fusiliers he had been under shell-fire and airplane bombing, 
 but the real experience was to come. 
 
 Harold Sydney Morgan was born in Winton, near Scran- 
 ton, Pennsylvania, on May 2, 1890. His father, Davy 
 Morgan, was from Pontypridd, Wales, and his mother, Ellen 
 M. (Shafer) Morgan was a native of London. He attended 
 the primary school in Winton and finished his preliminary 
 education in San Diego, California, graduating at the High 
 School there in 1908 at the age of eighteen. He then en- 
 tered Leland Stanford University where he took the A.B. 
 degree in 1912. His medical studies began at Stanford in 
 1911 and were completed at Hopkins in 1915. While still 
 a medical student in the summer of 1914, he served as as- 
 sistant to Doctor Wilfred T. Grenfell on the Hospital Ship 
 "Strathcona" down on the Labrador. With his doctor's 
 degree he came direct to New York, stood for the Belle- 
 vue House Staff and received the appointment already 
 stated. He took an active part in all student activities; at 
 the high school he was a member of Gamma Eta Kappa 
 and a Phi Delta Theta man at Leland Stanford; at Johns 
 Hopkins of the Pithotomy Club. 
 
 Lieutenant Morgan's mental make-up made him a great 
 addition to any circle; he possessed a buoyancy of spirits 
 and an equanimity of temper that altogether fitted him for 
 the company he was now in. Moreover he was large, of 
 athletic build, capable of much endurance. He was a great 
 tennis player — supreme on the courts at Bellevue and ten- 
 nis champion at Johns Hopkins, Stanford and at high school. 
 
 The chief conflicts in which the Royal Irish Fusiliers 
 fought in the spring of 1918 were the second battle of the 
 Somme and the battle of the Lys and Lieutenant Morgan was 
 in both. On March 21st, the titanic drive of the Germans 
 began that almost carried through to Amiens. In the British 
 line, as part of General Gough's Fifth Army, the 36th 
 Division was on a 6000 yard front before St. Quentin, ex- 
 tending from the river Somme south to near Urvillers, the 
 109th Brigade which included the 9th Battalion, being on 
 
!£atol& &pD!up S^otgan 
 
 the north and left, at the river. Three German divisions 
 attacked this one on this line. So severe was the fighting 
 that of three shock battalions scarcely a man returned. It 
 was here that Morgan earned the British Cross. Throughout 
 the next several days the army was compelled to fight des- 
 perate rear-guard actions; the Fusiliers at Grand Serau- 
 court, Artemps, St. Simon and at Villeselve where, with the 
 Royal Dragoons they held the German vanguard and drove 
 it back, March 25th 
 
 The second conflict was in April, on the northern front, 
 the battle of the Lys. Here again, between Messines and 
 Mont Kemmel Lieutenant Morgan showed the same fearless 
 devotion and bravery as on the Somme; with the rear-guard 
 as before, the division retiring from Messines toward 
 Neuve Eglise on April 12th, about three in the afternoon 
 he was on the field with two men tending the wounded, 
 when a piece of shell hit him in the leg. The men were 
 putting him on the stretcher when another shell-burst 
 killed him and buried one of the men, both of whom were 
 injured. Lieutenant Sydney Morgan was buried on the 
 north side of the road where it passes Wulverghem, two- 
 and-a-half kilometres west of Messines. 
 
 On March 19th Lieutenant Morgan wrote from Grand 
 Seraucourt where the Battalion was in reserve, to his friend, 
 now a major, congratulating him on his promotion and 
 saying that he himself had applied for leave and hoped to 
 go to England, stopping on the way at fitretat. "I'd much 
 like to see these poor unlucky devils who had to stay 
 around the 'Base' while we were having the only real sport 
 in the war — at the front." In three days and but a mile 
 away he performed the deeds that won the Military Cross. 
 During the last of these terrible days he wrote home, "Don't 
 worry. I only hope you are all keeping as cheerful as 
 I am here. I have no regrets." 
 
 Harold Sydney Morgan is survived by his brothers, 
 Davy S. Morgan, of Schenectady, New York and P. Victor 
 Morgan, of San Diego, and his sisters, Mabel M. Elliott, 
 Jeannette C. Morgan of San Diego, and Doctor Gwladys

 British Citation: 
 
 "For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty during 
 the retirement from Grand Seraucourt on the morning of 
 March 22nd. This officer was retiring behind the rear- 
 guard, and on approaching Artemps was told that some 
 wounded were still lying in Grand Seraucourt. Although 
 he knew that the enemy were already on the outskirts of 
 the village he returned at once with some stretcher-bearers 
 and succeeded in bringing out the wounded. He thus at 
 the commencement of the operations set a splendid example 
 to his stretcher-bearers of devotion and courage."

MORRIS JACOB KARPAS 
 
MORRIS JACOB KARPAS 
 
 Major, M.C, U.S.A. 
 
 Base Hospital 117, A.E.F. 
 
 Died at Savenay, Loire-Inferieure, July 4, 1918. 
 
 Doctor Karpas joined the staff of Bellevue Hospital on 
 February 15, 1912, and for the next three years and eight 
 months he was Assistant Resident Alienist; he was on the 
 assistant staff of the Manhattan State Hospital on Ward's 
 Island for a number of years previously. He resigned his 
 position at Bellevue in order to begin private practice. At 
 the time he entered military service he held the positions 
 of Chief of Clinic at the New York Neurological Institute, 
 Adjunct Neurologist at the Montefiore Home and Hospital, 
 Medical Director of the Hygiene Clinic of the Free Syna- 
 gogue and Examiner in Psychiatry to the Children's Court; 
 to the latter position he had been appointed by Mayor 
 Mitchell in December, 1916. He was on a firm footing 
 as a consulting physician in nervous and mental diseases 
 and as an expert in the law courts. 
 
 He had many difficulties to overcome in reaching this 
 standing and it was by his own worth and efforts that he 
 surmounted them. In 1892 he arrived in this country from 
 Russia, a boy of thirteen. He had been tutored at home 
 in St. Petersburg; here in New York he attended high 
 school and held a Regent's diploma. Later on he taught 
 in the Evening School for Foreigners in this city, studied 
 medicine at the Long Island Medical College Hospital and 
 received his doctor's degree in 1904. In 1909 he took 
 courses at Zurich, Vienna and Berlin. 
 
 Doctor Karpas had a broad knowledge of English, Ger- 
 man and Russian literature, had acquired, indeed, a re- 
 markable facility in English. He was a clear thinker and 
 
®$ozti& 3acob Ikatpag 
 
 his medical writings were direct and lucid. A great addition 
 to his technical knowledge was his care and his ability to 
 get the patient's point of view — he took great pains in 
 forming his opinions. He never overlooked the clinical 
 history nor placed undue weight upon laboratory results. 
 
 When the United States entered the war, Doctor Karpas 
 obtained a captain's commission and was sent to Camp 
 Zachary Taylor, Louisville, Kentucky; he went oversea 
 with Base Hospital 117, the neuro-psychiatric unit, in 
 the rank of Major in May, 1918. Shortly after the unit 
 arrived at Savenay a group of officers which included 
 Major Karpas was detached to Base Hospital 8 there to 
 look after the psychiatric cases. 
 
 When the news of Major Karpas's death reached Belle- 
 vue it was not believed — the less so when his death was 
 ascribed to angina pectoris. Nevertheless it was true. We 
 are indebted to his friend and colleague, Doctor Sanger 
 Brown, II, ex-Lieut.-Colonel, M.R.C., who sailed with him, 
 for an account of the attending circumstances: "I was 
 with him in Allentown just before we sailed and he seemed 
 in very good shape in every way. On the voyage also he 
 was in the best of spirits. He made a great many friends 
 as he always did; this was not limited to the medical 
 officers ... on a few occasions while walking up 
 from the village to the hospital he suffered from acute 
 pain in the cardiac region. He finally saw the physician 
 in charge of the medical services. On physical examina- 
 tion nothing could be found and he was advised to restrict 
 his diet. However he continued to have the pain and felt 
 somewhat concerned about it. Things went on this way 
 until one day he was sitting in the office examining a pa- 
 tient with two of the other doctors when suddenly he 
 was taken with dyspnoea, became unconscious, and in less 
 than a minute or two had breathed his last. There was 
 no suffering and probably very little distress of any kind. 
 He must have lost consciousness almost at once. At autopsy 
 the coronary arteries were very sclerotic; the lumen was 
 almost occluded, admitting a large needle. This was un-

 doubtedly the cause of his death. A military service was 
 held . . . Major Karpas was the first officer to be 
 buried there (in Savenay) ... to be followed by 
 the deaths of officers and nurses, Miss Delano having died 
 there after the Armistice. ... I recall very vividly 
 a talk with Karpas about service in the war. He remem- 
 bered his early life in Russia very well and naturally 
 there was nothing he despised more than military service. 
 However, he was glad to enter the service of the United 
 States in the war. There was no question about his love 
 for the country. He said he felt he could do it for no 
 other country. No one could have been more unselfish 
 than he. He had made his own way in life, his career was 
 just beginning to open up and he was obliged to discon- 
 tinue it all, and this he did without any hesitation." 
 
 Major Morris Jacob Karpas was born in St. Petersburg 
 on March 28, 1879, a son of Charles and Sarah A. (Mur- 
 doch) Karpas. He died in Savenay, France, on July 4, 
 1918, aged thirty-nine; he was unmarried and is survived 
 by two brothers and a sister, Miss Jennie A. Karpas, R.N., 
 a graduate of Lebanon Hospital Training School, whose 
 address is 356 West 145th Street, New York.

 Soldier of the Foreign Legion, French Army, 
 
 Contract Surgeon, British War Office, 
 
 Lieutenant, M.C., U.S.A., 16th Infantry, 1st Division, A.E.F. 
 
 French Brigade Citation — Croix de Guerre, 
 
 American Division Citation — posthumous, 
 
 American Army Citation — posthumous. 
 
 Killed in action at Missy-aux-Bois, July 19, 1918. 
 
 David Everett Wheeler was the first Bellevue man to go 
 across. He completed his service as House Surgeon on 
 the Second Division on June 30, 1900, and so, when in 
 1914 the great war began, he had been in active practice 
 in the city of Buffalo for about fourteen years. He was 
 then forty-one years old and his son was about to enter 
 Cornell University. For all that, when the urgent need 
 for more surgeons was made known, Doctor Wheeler con- 
 sidered it a call to him and he lingered not upon the order 
 of his going — he sailed from New York on October 7, 1914 
 and Mrs. Wheeler went with him. Four years afterward 
 she returned without him. 
 
 When they arrived in France Surgeon Wheeler found 
 that the shortest way to the front was to enlist as a common 
 soldier in the renowned Foreign Legion. So he enlisted. 
 The Legion with the Zouaves and Tirailleurs together, 
 formed the redoubtable Moroccan Division of the French 
 Army. 
 
 In September, 1915, two major attacks were made by the 
 Allies; a costly one by the British on Loos determined 
 the appointment of Sir Douglas Haig to supreme command 
 of the British army; the other was by the French — the bat- 
 tle of Champagne; in this the Moroccan Division was en- 
 gaged. Here, on September 28, 1915, Private Wheeler, 
 among brave men, distinguished himself; under violent fire

and disregarding the fact that he was badly wounded him- 
 self, he stayed to wait on those worse off than he. For 
 this intrepid act he was mentioned in brigade orders and, 
 on October 9th was awarded the Croix de Guerre. He was 
 so severely wounded that he was kept out of the fighting 
 for a long while after. He was taken first to the Hotel 
 Dieu at Chalons-sur-Marne and after a few days there he 
 was transferred to the American Hospital at Neuilly where 
 he spent five months. He was then sufficiently recovered to 
 take a surgical service at the American Ambulance during 
 three months more, while completing his convalescence. 
 Next he joined up with the British and from March until 
 September, 1917, he was a Contract Surgeon to the British 
 War Office. So Doctor Wheeler was a seasoned veteran, and 
 when at last his own country joined the war, it rejoiced his 
 indomitable soul. 
 
 The first American troops thi t arrived in France landed 
 at St. Nazaire in June and July, 1917; the 1st Division of 
 regulars was formed of these troops and the infantry was 
 sent to the Toul sector. Wheeler having obtained a com- 
 mission as Lieutenant in the U. S. Medical Corps, was as- 
 signed to the 16th Infantry, 1st Br gade, 1st Division. For 
 a month after October 20th the D vision was in line just 
 east of Nancy. The first American s.iot in the war was fired 
 by Battery C, 6th Field Artillery, Division at 6.05 a. m. 
 October 23rd; on November 3rd the firs imerican soldiers 
 were killed — three men of Lieutenant Wheeler's regiment. 
 
 Early in April, 1918, the division having finished its 
 training, was sent around to the new line of battle on the 
 west where sixty-four German divisions had driven nine- 
 teen British divisions back to within a few miles of Amiens. 
 On the 25th of the month the 1st Division relieved French 
 troops on the Montdidier^ -• ) front at Cantigny. Here 
 it remained for eleven wee' ring that time captured 
 
 the town of Cantigny on M. he fight, small though 
 
 it was in contrast marked big as a forecast of what the 
 Americans could do. On July 5th the Division was relieved 
 and on the 11th was mad part of General Mangin's 10th

 Array and sent to Dammartin, twenty miles northeast of 
 Paris, on the Paris-Soissons road. 
 
 Marshal Foch was now preparing the great counter- 
 stroke — the Aisne-Marne offensive against the exposed Ger- 
 man flank that had been extended from Soissons, to the 
 Marne at Chateau-Thierry. He chose for this vital thrust 
 the 1st and 2nd American and the Moroccan divisions. 
 The 1st Division had just arrived at Dammartin for a rest 
 period for it had been almost constantly in line for six 
 months past, but it was sent right back, eager and proud 
 to fight. The attack was made southwest of Soissons from 
 the Forest of Retz, the 1st Division being to the north and 
 on the left of the line, the Moroccans next and the 2nd 
 Division with the Marines to the south and right; the 1st 
 brigade of the 1st Division, in which was the 16th Infantry, 
 was right next the French. So here was Lieutenant Wheeler 
 lined up with his old fri- nds oi the Legion again and it 
 was a great joy to him *hat it was so. The battle is de- 
 scribed in full detail in Captain Shipley Thomas's "History 
 of the A.E.F.", who wes present attached to the 26th In- 
 fantry. It began on Jmy 18th and that day across a wide 
 plateau, through fields of wheat, the line was advanced 
 half the distance to S'iissons. In the course of that day 
 Lieutenant Wheeler gave proof once more of his fearless- 
 ness, his invincible qualities and devotion to the wounded. 
 And the next day also, at the Missy ravine; but this day, 
 July 19th, was his last — he was killed here in the front line 
 and he Hp nried nov* in the American cemetery at Ploissy 
 close by th«. scene of Hs heroism. 
 
 The following \ 1 account of an episode in the battle 
 of Chi, oiember 28, 1915, is taken from a 
 
 graphic st 'hat battle written by Doctor Wheeler, 
 
 then a privau in the Foreign Legion: 
 
 "As we entered the wood a squall of bullets separated 
 us from our officers. It ruffled the earth as a cat's-paw of 
 wind ruffles still water. I Junk a machine gun must have 
 come to rest and sprayed all its bullets on this one spot. 
 We privates hesitated as one hes>ates at the edge of a brook

 seen unexpectedly across the path. "Jump!" called Tortel. 
 I was the only one who made the leap safely and in doing 
 so I got a bullet-graze on the left leg and a coat-tail torn 
 by a riccochet. One of the men fell in the track of the 
 bullets and was rolled over and over by them; pack, pack, 
 pack! they sounded on his body which they drove six feet 
 along the earth before it came to rest. 
 
 I took my pipe out of my mouth, presented arms as 
 the regulations required when speaking to an officer, and 
 said to Captain Tortel: "Mon capitaine, je n'ai pas de 
 cravate! est il assez chaud?" His rather expressionless 
 face relaxed in the dry humorous look which usually pre- 
 saged his remarks, but before he could say anything he 
 dropped on his back apparently dead. . . . The next 
 moment I found myself lying on the ground ... a 
 riccochet bullet had cut the two large muscles in the calf 
 of my leg." 
 
 Another quotation is from a captain in the 16th U. S. 
 Infantry : 
 
 "Nothing the enemy could do could in any way affect 
 his plans or what he did. Around Cantigny the battalion 
 observers reports used to read: "3.15, Lieut. Wheeler seen 
 proceeding from Battalion Aid Station to St. Aignon Ceme- 
 tery; 3.35, Lieut. Wheeler seen proceeding from cemetery 
 to La Pellissier Farm; 3.43, Lieut. Wheeler seen proceed- 
 ing from farm to P. C. Marguerite, etc., etc. He always 
 went overland across the top, and what endeared him to 
 the soldiers, he never waited for wounded men to be 
 brought to his aid station; after a shelling of one's position 
 one could look out and tell that some one was hurt by 
 the progress of "Doc" Wheeler running through the wheat 
 on his way to the spot. ... In an assemblage as notable 
 for bravery as the Sixteenth Infantry he was eminent for 
 courage, and among officers whose pride was their atten- 
 tion to their men he was foremost. His conduct was the 
 standard to which the infantry desired medical officers to 
 conform and none, in my experience, came near him."

 David Everett Wheeler died at the age of forty-five. He 
 was born in New York City on November 23, 1872, the 
 son of the Honorable Everett P. Wheeler of this city and 
 Lydia Lorraine (Hodges) Wheeler of Chester, Vermont. He 
 graduated at Columbia in arts in 1895 and in medicine in 
 1898. On June 10, 1898, just before beginning his Belle- 
 vue service, he married Miss Mabel B. Whitney, the daughter

 Captain, M.C., U.S.A. 
 
 Died in Boston, Massachusetts, September 25, 1918. 
 
 Doctor Whidden joined the Bellevue Hospital staff in 
 July, 1912, as Assistant Physician to Out-Patients on the 
 Tuberculosis Service. The quality of his work and the 
 interest he took in this service brought him advancement 
 in 1914 — he became Physician to Out-Patients and Adjunct 
 Assistant Visiting Physician and in 1916 he was promoted 
 again, this time to the wards as Visiting Physician on the 
 Tuberculosis Service. The following May, having mean- 
 while been commissioned Lieutenant, M.R.C., he was 
 granted indefinite leave for military service. He was a 
 Harvard man, taking the A.B. degree in 1908 and the M.D. 
 degree in 1911, and he sailed in May, 1917, to join the 
 Harvard Unit, known as Base Hospital 5; he reached 
 Boulogne, where this unit was stationed, on June 22nd. 
 
 Base Hospital 5 was the second of these organizations 
 to go across; it was assigned to work with the British Ex- 
 peditionary Forces and was one of the Dannes-Camiers 
 group of hospitals just south of Boulogne, Pas-de-Calais. 
 This unit had the distinction of looking so much like an 
 ammunition dump — according to the Germans — that it suf- 
 fered terribly in an air raid. It was an hour before mid- 
 night on September 4, 1917, when this occurred; Lieutenant 
 Fitzsimmons, M.C., U.S.A., the adjutant and two en- 
 listed men were killed outright and nineteen were 
 wounded; among the latter was Lieutenant Whidden, a 
 piece of shrapnel entering his chest. He was taken at 
 once to No. 20 General Hospital, the main British hospital 
 
 17 
 
in the group and later sent to England where he was kept 
 a long while. He was promoted on September 25th to the 
 rank of Captain, M.C., U.S.A. When he was sufficiently 
 recovered, Captain Whidden came home on a long sick- 
 leave and went out to California to visit his family; when 
 this leave was over he was given duty at the Presidio, San 
 Francisco for a while, then at Camp Pike, Little Rock, 
 Arkansas and then at Camp Dix, New Jersey. He was at 
 Camp Dix in September, 1918, during the influenza epi- 
 demic and he found the work very hard; he was allowed 
 ten days leave and he went to Boston to spend it with his 
 many friends there; he developed influenza soon after his 
 arrival and entered Massachusetts General Hospital with 
 pneumonia, but he died on September 25, 1918, aged thirty- 
 three years. He was expecting soon to be sent back to 
 France. 
 
 The Whidden family came from England in 1660 and 
 settled in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Captain Whidden 
 was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on August 24, 1885. 
 His father, William Marcy Whidden, was born in Boston 
 and his mother, Alice McLoughlin (Wygant) Whidden, in 
 Portland, Oregon; Mrs. Whidden is a descendant of Doc- 
 tor John McLoughlin, the Chief Factor for twenty years on 
 the Pacific Coast of the Hudson's Bay Company. Captain 
 Whidden had a twin sister who was in the American Red 
 Cross service during the war; she died in Flushing, New 
 York, just six months after he died and of the same disease; 
 she was a frequent visitor to the tuberculosis wards at 
 Bellevue during the period of her brother's service there. 
 He was unmarried; he is survived by his father and mother 
 and two younger brothers who now live in California; one 
 served in the U. S. Navy for two years from April, 1917, 
 while the other was exempted to maintain his ranch in the 
 interests of the food supply. Mr. Whidden's address is: 
 The Wilcox Building, or, The Arlington Club, Portland, 
 Oregon. 
 
 Captain Whidden was a member of the American Medical 
 and the National Tuberculosis Associations, the Association 
 
 18 
 
of Military Surgeons of the United States, the New York 
 State and County Medical societies, the New York Academy 
 of Medicine and the Boylston Medical Society. He was 
 Attending Physician to the Presbyterian Hospital Dispen- 
 sary and Visiting Physician to Seton and Manhattan Eye, 
 Ear and Throat hospitals.

ROBERT GOLDTHWAITE 
 
 Captain, M.C., U.S.A. 
 Evacuation Hospital 22, A.E.F. 
 
 Died in Allery, Saone-et-Loire, France, September 30, 1918. 
 
 Robert Goldthwaite was House Surgeon on the Fourth 
 Division from April till October, 1894. Doctor Henry 
 Goldthwaite, a former member of this Society, who served 
 as House Physician on the Second Division in 1876 was his 
 father's cousin. The Goldthwaites came of a family dis- 
 tinguished in Alabama; the grandfather of Robert, the 
 Honorable George Goldthwaite, was at one time one of 
 the United States Senators from that State; his father was 
 Robert Goldthwaite, his mother, Annie Paul (Nesbitt) 
 Goldthwaite, and he was born on August 29, 1872, in the 
 city of Montgomery. 
 
 Brought up in Montgomery and educated in the schools 
 there, he was fitted for the University of Virginia from 
 which institution he came to the Bellevue Hospital Medical 
 College and here he took his doctor's degree in 1893. His 
 cousin, Henry, was one of the instructors in the college for 
 a good many years, a prominent practitioner in the city 
 and physician to the famous Fifth Avenue Hotel where he 
 lived. After finishing at Bellevue Robert Goldthwaite went 
 back to Montgomery and he remained in active practice 
 there till he entered the army in 1916. 
 
 In June, 1916, he was commissioned Lieutenant in the 
 Medical Reserve Corps and put on active service examining 
 engineer recruits in Montgomery. In August, 1917, he 
 toured the state in the interests of the Medical Reserve. 
 He was ordered in September to the officers' school at Camp 
 Greenleaf, Fort Oglethorpe, and in November, to Camp 
 Jackson, Columbia, S. C, in the rank of Captain. Early 
 in 1918 Evacuation Hospital 22 was organized at Camp

 Sevier, Greenville, S. C, and Captain Goldthwaite was or- 
 dered there. This organization sailed from New York on 
 August 30th on the "Kroonland," arriving at Brest on Sep- 
 tember 12th. Landing the next afternoon they had a two 
 hours' march to Pontanezen Barracks. Captain Goldthwaite 
 led the marching column; he was in fine health and spirits 
 and kept his fellow officers amused by his witty remarks 
 and running comments. On September 18th at 1 a. m. 
 E. H. 22 started for Allery. "Soon after we left Brest," 
 writes Lieutenant-Colonel E. Dunbar Newell, now of Chat- 
 tanooga, who was in charge, "Captain Goldthwaite began 
 to complain of headache and nausea and not feeling well. 
 By the time we arrived at Allery . . . Captain Gold- 
 thwaite was quite ill and we wired for an ambulance to 
 meet us." . . . "He was taken at once to Base Hos- 
 pital 26 that was commanded at that time by Lieutenant- 
 Colonel Arthur Law of Minneapolis. We arrived at Allery 
 at 11 p. m. on September 21, 1918." . . . "We all 
 early realized that he was suffering from meningitis and 
 although he was under the care of the staff of B.H. 26 we 
 took an active interest in his case and I feel sure that every- 
 thing that could possibly be done was done for him. Cap- 
 tain Goldthwaite died on September 30, 1918." He was 
 buried the next day after a very impressive military funeral, 
 in the cemetery at Allery. 
 
 Robert Goldthwaite was forty-six years old when he 
 died. Two years after leaving Bellevue he married Miss 
 Mary Phelan Watt and they had four children, all of whom 
 survive him; his son, Robert, is a midshipman at the U. S. 
 Naval Academy; his eldest child, Therese, a teacher in 
 Montgomery schools; Anne Paul is secretary to the di- 
 rector of the Alabama Child Welfare Department and the 
 youngest, Ellen Phelan, is at school. Mrs. Goldthwaite 
 has been, since her husband's death, secretary in the Home 
 Service of the American Red Cross and Supervisor of At- 
 tendance of the Montgomery Schools. Doctor Goldthwaite's 
 mother, three sisters and two brothers are still living.

 Mortally wounded near Bellicourt, September 30, 
 Died at Tourville, Seine-Inferieure, October 5, 1918. 
 
 John Edwin Ray was a son of Finie (Carter) Ray and 
 the late John Edwin Ray. He was born in Hendersonville, 
 North Carolina on November 29, 1888. He studied at 
 Wake Forest, N. C, and received the degree A.B. from that 
 college in 1908. After spending two years in the study 
 of medicine at the University of North Carolina he came 
 to New York in 1910 and was admitted to advanced stand- 
 ing at Cornell, receiving his doctor's degree with the class 
 of 1912. He obtained a full two-year appointment on the 
 Bellevue Hospital House Staff and completed his term as 
 House Surgeon on the Second Division on June 30, 1914. 
 Ray served on the staff concurrently with Mead who was 
 House Physician on the same division. There is a re- 
 markable similarity in the way the times and circumstances 
 affected these two friends and colleagues. 
 
 Doctor Ray went back to his home state to practice and 
 opened an office in Raleigh intending to build up a surgical 
 reputation; the ability and judgment he displayed at House 
 Surgeon should have given him great hope of success. 
 Soon, however, these plans were interrupted. The Mexican 
 difficulty took Doctor Ray to the Border with the North 
 Carolina Guard in the rank of medical Lieutenant in the 
 2nd North Carolina Infantry and there he spent the long

 winter of 1916-17 in the wind and sand of that delectable 
 region. 
 
 When this regiment was mustered into the federal service 
 it was called the 119th Infantry, sent to Camp Sevier, 
 Greenville, S. C, and made part of the 30th Division — the 
 "Old Hickory Division." 
 
 Captain Ray arrived oversea on May 24, 1918, the en- 
 tire division crossing during May and June, landing at 
 Calais. The infantry went into training in the school of 
 real war with the British at Eperlecques, Pas-de-Calais, 
 first as individuals, then platoons, then battalions. The 
 need for reinforcements was so great, however, that before 
 their training was far advanced the division was made a 
 part of the 2nd British Army in the Ypres sector and set 
 at completing the Poperinghe defense systems. Thus they 
 were the first American troops to enter Belgium which they 
 did on July the Fourth. On August 17th the division took 
 over from the 33rd British Division the sector extending 
 from Ypres south to Voormezelle known as the Canal 
 Sector; the 60th Brigade, which included the 119th regi- 
 ment, was put in the front line and the 59th Brigade in 
 support. On August 3 1st- September 1st they, and the 14th 
 British on their left and the 27th American on their right 
 attacked the Germans and captured all their objectives 
 including the village of Voormezelle and advanced the 
 line nearly a mile. 
 
 The Thirtieth then went into reserve for training with 
 the British tanks and on September 22nd it was transferred 
 to the 4th British Army under General Rawlinson, replacing 
 the 1st Australians in the front line opposite Bellicourt and 
 the St. Quenlin Canal. Here again they were joined on 
 their left by their compatriots of the Twenty-seventh. These 
 two American divisions operated entirely with the British 
 until the Armistice. 
 
 A tremendous conflict had raged all along the western 
 front since August 2nd and now the army of Marshal Haig 
 was to storm the Hindenburg defenses; here was its most 
 formidable section on the west, where the St. Quentin Canal 
 
 23 
 
runs underground for several miles. The tunnel is of the 
 time of the First Napoleon; it is about seventy feet wide 
 and runs about fifty feet below the surface. It had been 
 strongly fortified by the Germans, a great net-work of sub- 
 terranean passages emerged to the surface all around; it 
 was filled with barges and was the hiding place of an en- 
 tire division of troops. The Germans considered it impreg- 
 nable. Besides, the attacking force had to go through three 
 lines of wire before the line of the canal, for the main 
 Hindenburg line lay about two hundred yards west of this 
 tunnel and the Out-Post line still further west. 
 
 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was present on this battlefield 
 and he says of the fighting: "What with fog and smoke it 
 was difficult to see more than a few feet in any direction, 
 and this was a great disadvantage to the stormers, the more 
 so to troops who are so individual as the Americans. The 
 Thirtieth Division on the right, a unit raised in the Caro- 
 linas and Tennessee, dashed through the main Hindenburg 
 Line in the most gallant fashion, capturing Bellicourt on 
 the way, while the veteran Australian Fifth Division passed 
 through their cheering ranks after they had reached their 
 allotted limit." . . . "the British, American and Aus- 
 tralian dead lay along the same battle-line." . 
 "Neither the blue-clad infantry of Grant, nor the grey 
 confederates of Lee, showed a higher spirit than the khaki- 
 clad lads who fought alongside the British that day." This 
 was on the 29th and 30th of September and here it was that 
 the gallant Ray upheld his own and his country's honor. 
 His mother, Mrs. Ray, writes: "He fell five hundred yards 
 over the Hindenburg Line, on the second day of the attack 
 breaking the Hindenburg Line, September 30, 1918. On 
 duty at his aid post he was wounded in the upper thigh by a 
 fragment of high explosive shell, was carried to Tourville 
 to Base 74, B. E. F., dying October 5th. Buried with full 
 military honors in the cemetery at Tourville, his casket 
 covered with the Union Jack and Old Glory." Captain 
 Ray was not quite thirty years old when he died. His body 
 was brought home last year, 1921, and lies now in Oak- 
 
 24 
 
wood Cemetery in Raleigh. Besides his mother, Mrs. John 
 E. Ray, his sisters, Mrs. C. 0. Abernethy and Mrs. Arthur

 During the attack in the Bellicourt area (Hindenburg 
 Line) 29th September, 1918, Captain Ray administered 
 first aid to many of our own and the enemy wounded, help- 
 less under heavy machine-gun fire. He established his 
 aid post in the front line trench and maintained it with

the front line troops on their advance. It was during this 
 time that he was wounded and died a few days later. His 
 exceptional bravery and devotion to duty is worthy of the 
 utmost praise."

THEODORE FLETCHER MEAD 
 
 Captain, M.C., U.S.A., 104th Field Artillery, 
 
 52nd Brigade, 27th Division, A.E.F. 
 
 New York State Military Cross. 
 
 Mortally wounded near Brabant, Meuse, 
 
 Died in Glorieux, Meuse, October 29, 1913. 
 
 Doctor Mead was Adjunct Assistant Visiting Physician 
 on the Second Division when he was granted an indefinite 
 leave of absence for military duty on August 3, 1917. He 
 had been promoted to this position in the Out-Patient De- 
 partment in the month of February after he had served 
 two years. He first came to Bellevue in 1912 as an interne 
 on the Second Division and he served as House Physician 
 from January till July, 1914; his service coincided with 
 John Edwin Ray's on the surgical side. He was a Cornell 
 man having graduated in arts at Ithaca in 1908 and taken 
 the medical degree in 1912. While attending the pre-med- 
 ical course in Ithaca, he assisted in histology and embry- 
 ology. Before entering the army he was in private practice 
 in this city. 
 
 He joined the New York National Guard and went to 
 the Mexican Border with these troops in June 1916 in the 
 rank of Lieutenant attached to the 1st Field Artillery as 
 surgeon, where he remained till November 15th. This 
 regiment was mustered into the federal service as the 104th 
 F. A., 27th Division; it trained at Camp Wadsworth, Spar- 
 tanburg, South Carolina. Lieutenant Mead, having been 
 at the training camp at Fort Benjamin Harrison from June 
 till September, 1917, and at Plattsburg till October 11th, 
 arrived at Spartanburg on October 15th. Here, he was 
 but a few miles from Camp Sevier, where his friend Lieu- 
 
 27 
 
^Hfjeotjore jfletcfjet ®$tab 
 
 tenant Ray was, with the 119th Infantry of the 30th 
 Division. 
 
 He was at Camp Wadsworth till May 12, 1918, except 
 for about ten weeks on the artillery range at Glassy Rock, 
 S. C. He sailed for France from Newport News on June 
 30th and arrived at Brest on July 13, 1918. In March, 
 while at Glassy Rock, he was promoted Captain. 
 
 The infantry of these two divisions was assigned to the 
 British but the artillery was not; Captain Mead's regiment 
 was sent into training at Souge, very near Bordeaux — a 
 terrible place, from all accounts, of heat and sand and 
 flies. In the line it supported and was part of the 33rd 
 and later the 79th American Divisions both of the 17th 
 Corps of the French army under General Claudel. 
 
 So now the paths of these two Bellevue friends diverged, 
 but not for so very long — a few months and these two men 
 were mortally wounded, in practically the same manner, 
 one on the 30th of September, the other on the 29th of 
 October; and in the same month of October, one with the 
 British Army, the other with the American, fighting for 
 the same cause, showing the same courage, the same daunt- 
 less spirit, they carried through. 
 
 The 104th F. A. moved in from Camp de Souge on 
 August 31st to the Verdun sector and served in the Meuse- 
 Argonne offensive at Montzeville, La Claire, Forges 
 Woods, Consenvoye and Brabant-sur-Meuse, and Captain 
 Mead with it. 
 
 But here, at Brabant was the end; here Captain Mead 
 was to show what manner of man he was; that the genial, 
 smiling Captain Mead was a man with iron nerve, and 
 then — to die. Lieut.-Colonel James E. Austin of the 104th 
 Field Artillery has written the following account: "During 
 my entire war service I kept a personal diary and religiously 
 wrote it up each day. On October 29, 1918, I have jotted 
 down that we were heavily shelled throughout the day. 
 Telephone lines severed eight times since daybreak. 
 
 Captain Mead, M.C., attached to my Battalion (2nd 
 Battalion, 104th F.A.) was living in my dug-out on Mal- 
 
 28 
 
^fytobott jpUtcfjft Strati 
 
 brouck Hill, northeast of Brabant-sur-Meuse, we having 
 occupied that position during the night. At about 8:00 
 a.m. the 'phone rang, Battery D reporting casualities and 
 asking for a medical man. Captain Mead said he would 
 go over himself and immediately started out. Only a few 
 minutes later while on his way, he was hit in the right 
 shoulder and arm by a fragment of shell which exploded 
 nearby, killing a mule. This happened on the road leading 
 southwest to Brabant and midway between the battalion 
 post of command and the batteries. Captain Lawson was 
 sent by me to help Captain Mead. A doctor happening 
 along administered a hypo and the first ambulance with 
 space in it was halted. Captain Mead was conscious, saying 
 a few approved things about Germans in general, but com- 
 plained of the pain and the probability of the loss of the 
 use of his good right arm. He asked for the hypo him- 
 self. We all confidently expected that he would recover. 
 
 As we were in the line fighting, no one heard of his 
 death until after the Armistice, when one of our men found 
 his grave near the hospital at Glorieux where fitting ser- 
 vices were held, the entire regiment turning out. He died 
 the afternoon of the day he was hit from shock and loss 
 of blood, according to the statement made at the hospital." 
 
 He was removed to Evacuation Hospital 15, Glorieux 
 (Verdun). Mrs. Mead was notified of his death in a letter 
 from the Red Cross, an extract from which is as follows: 
 "Central Records Office reports: Theodore Fletcher Mead, 
 Captain Medical Corps, 104th F.A., died of wounds Oc- 
 tober 29, 1918 C.C. 307: died in Evacuation Hospital 15, 
 Glorieux Meuse; buried October 31, 1918, Glorieux, Meuse 
 Military Cemetery." Mrs. Mead has had word from the 
 U. S. Graves Registration Bureau that Captain Mead's 
 permanent grave is not in the cemetery at Glorieux, but 
 she has never had any other location given her. His body 
 has probably been transferred to the American cemetery 
 at Romagne-sous-Montfaucon, Meuse. 
 
 The mother of Captain Mead has two gold stars for her 
 two sons lost in the war. Four days after the Captain's 
 
 29 
 
^Jjeobore jfletcljft s^eati 
 
 death his only brother, Leland Clark Mead, "was wounded 
 by a piece of shell as he was assisting (the surgeon) in 
 an aid station in the Argonne forest and died the next morn- 
 ing. He is now buried in the Argonne American cemetery. 
 
 Dr. spoke very highly of the efficient service he 
 
 had rendered him, of his loyalty and his excellent record 
 as a soldier. I am proud to be the mother of two such fine 
 American men." 
 
 Private Mead served with the medical troops of the 361st 
 Infantry, 91st Division. In the battle of Meuse-Argonne 
 this division was in line north of Avocourt and advanced 
 through Epionville, the Bois de Cheppy, Boise de Very and 
 the Bois de Epinettes and dug-in before Gesnes; here it 
 was that Private Mead received his mortal wound. 
 
 Theodore Fletcher Mead was born in Morrisville, Mad- 
 ison County, New York, on June 29, 1885; he was, there- 
 fore, over thirty-three years old. He attended Colgate 
 Academy at Hamilton, New York, before going to Cornell. 
 He was a member of the American Medical Association 
 and of the Phi Club. 
 
 On June 10, 1912, he married Miss Ruth Fahnestock of 
 Ithaca and they had one child, Elizabeth F. Mead, who was 
 born November 28, 1915, both of whom survive him. Mrs. 
 Mead, now Mrs. Edward F. Guilford, resides at 437 W. 
 Orange Street, Lancaster, Penn. Captain Mead's mother's 
 address is: Mrs. Frank A. McCoy, 222 Goundry Street, 
 North Tonawanda, New York. 
 
 Theodore F. Mead Post No. 191, American Legion, 
 meets on the second Tuesday night of each month at the

 Commander is Lieut.-Colonel Austin, who extends a cordial 
 invitation to the members of the Society of Alumni of 
 Bellevue Hospital to attend any of the meetings. The Post 
 during the past year took care of Ward 37, Fox Hills Hos-

JOSEPH BIDLEMAN BISSELL 
 
 Major, M.C., U.S.A. 
 
 Chief of the Surgical Service, General Hospital 2, 
 Fort McHenry, Maryland. 
 
 Died in New York, December 2, 1918. 
 
 When the United States entered the war Doctor Bissell 
 was very anxious to get into the army to do his share and 
 although he was fifty-nine years old, he succeeded finally. 
 He received a commission as Major and was ordered to 
 Camp Custer, Battle Creek, Michigan, in July, 1918, where 
 he spent about six weeks in intensive training. Intensive 
 is right; he was thrilled by it and, much to his delight 
 and satisfaction, he was ordered to take charge of the 
 surgical service at Fort McHenry. On his way there he 
 spent two or three days at home, full of enthusiasm and 
 eager to be at it. Once at his post he worked with un- 
 remitting zeal but the work was too laborious for him. In 
 November he began to realize this but he would not ask 
 for leave — he did not wish "to be thought a quitter." He 
 was, as a matter of fact, sick. He was compelled to lay 
 off, but he asked only for leave over the Thanksgiving 
 holidays. 
 
 Immediately after his arrival home he was so overcome 
 by weakness that he was forced to go to bed. In a day 
 or two it was proved that he had septicaemia due to the 
 streptococcus hasmolyticus. In the forlorn hope that he 
 might yet be saved he received a transfusion of blood, but — 
 on December 2, 1918 he died — in line of duty. 
 
 Doctor Bissell served as interne in Charity, not Bellevue 
 Hospital; he was house surgeon in the former hospital 
 
 32

in 1884. After leaving Charity he studied in Vienna and 
 Munich and when he returned home he was appointed 
 Visiting Surgeon to St. Vincent's Hospital, which position 
 he held at the time of his death. He joined the Fourth 
 Division, Bellevue Staff in 1897 and was Director of the 
 surgical service and a member of the Executive Committee 
 when he went to Fort McHenry. 
 
 He was born in Lakeville, Connecticut, in 1858 and at- 
 tended school at the Armenia, New York, Seminary. Then 
 he went to Yale and took the Ph.B. degree in 1879. While 
 at Yale he was editor of the "Yale News." He was a mem- 
 ber of the Alphi Chi and Chi Phi societies. His medical 
 diploma he received from Columbia in 1883. He was a 
 member of the Society of Alumni of Bellevue Hospital for 
 fourteen years. He was a fellow of the American Medical 
 Association and the American College of Surgeons, a mem- 
 ber of the American Urological Association, the New York 
 Academy of Medicine and the Alumni Society of the City 
 Hospital. 
 
 Doctor Bissell was a prominent advocate of the thera- 
 peutic use of radium and had worked in that field for 
 about eight years. He was president of the American 
 Radium Society and surgical director of the New York 
 Radium Institute. 
 
 He was sixty years old when he died; his widow, now 
 Mrs. Bradford Merrill, lives at Great Neck, New York, 
 and his daughters, Mrs. Laurence Millet and Mrs. Law- 
 rence Jones and his sons, Joseph B. and Karl H. Bissell, 
 also survive him.

WILLIAM CRAWFORD GORGAS. 
 
 Major-General, M.C., U.S.A., 
 
 Distinguished Service Medal, 
 
 Knight Commander of the Order of St. Michael and 
 
 St. George. 
 
 Died in London, July 4, 1920. 
 
 When Major Walter Reed had finished his report as head 
 of the committee on the spread of typhoid fever in the 
 army, he was ordered to Cuba as chief of a commission 
 to study yellow fever. This commission convened in Havana 
 early in 1900. General Leonard Wood, a graduate in 
 medicine, then in his fortieth year, was at that time military 
 governor of Cuba, Major Gorgas, the chief sanitary officer, 
 and Havana, after two years of effort had been cleaned up. 
 
 Seldom was research begun under fairer auspices when, 
 like a challenge to medical science, yellow fever broke out 
 in epidemic form. 
 
 The chief actors in the drama that now opened were the 
 four members of the commission: Major Reed at the head, 
 had taken his degree at the Bellevue Hospital Medical Col- 
 lege in 1873, six years before Major Gorgas. He was three 
 years older than Gorgas, being then in his forty-ninth year. 
 He was now professor of bacteriology in the Army Medical 
 School in Washington and a constant worker in the labora- 
 tories of Professors Councilman and Welch in the new Johns 
 Hopkins School. Next to Major Reed was Doctor James 
 Carroll, a post-graduate student at Hopkins and a co-worker 
 with him there. He was the bacteriologist of the commis- 
 sion. The third member was Lazear. 
 
 DOCTOR JESSE WILLIAM LAZEAR was appointed 
 Junior on the House Staff of Bellevue Hospital on April 1, 
 1892 and served as House Physician on the First Division 
 from April till October, 1893. He was a graduate of Johns

 Hopkins in arts of the class of 1889 and of Columbia in 
 medicine in 1892. He was the first to obtain from the blood 
 the micrococcus of Neisser; this he did while an interne 
 in Bellevue while investigating a case of endocarditis. 
 Doctor Lazear was the scientific clinician and investigator 
 combined in one and a modest, unboastful one, devoted 
 to work — a most companionable man, moreover. He joined 
 this Society as soon as he left the hospital and began 
 practice in this city, but in a short time he went to Europe 
 for a year's study at the University of Edinburgh, and at 
 the Pasteur Institute in Paris. Returning to this country 
 he was appointed bacteriologist to Johns Hopkins Hos- 
 pital and assistant in clinical microscopy in that university. 
 He continued membership in the Society of Alumni of 
 Bellevue Hospital. 
 
 At this time that work of the greatest importance to the 
 world at large was going forward: the investigations in 
 malaria — tracing the development of the malarial parasite 
 in man, in the mosquito and back to man again, and it 
 engaged all the energy and enthusiasm of Doctor Lazear. 
 At the time of the outbreak of the Spanish-American war, 
 he was one of the two or three experts on this side of the 
 Atlantic on the histology of the malarial organism and its 
 life-cycle in the malarial mosquito. It was this that singled 
 him out for membership on the Yellow Fever Commission. 
 
 Today, the sole surviving member of this famous com- 
 mission is Doctor Aristides Agramonte, a native of Cuba, 
 the son of General Agramonte, who was killed in battle 
 in 1872. The family, coming to New York to live, the son 
 was educated in the public schools of this city and studied 
 medicine at Columbia graduating in fact with Lazear. He 
 was appointed then assistant bacteriologist in the city 
 health department and he was a frequent visitor in the 
 Pathological Department of Bellevue. Afterward he worked 
 in Major Reed's laboratory on the identification of the 
 bacillus icteroides that Sanarelli claimed was the cause 
 of yellow fever. On the commission he had charge of the 
 pathological work.

 The first human experiments were made on the members 
 of the commission, Doctor Lazear leading off. The result 
 in his case was not a success. Then Doctor Carroll sub- 
 mitting to the ordeal, was inoculated by means of several 
 of Doctor Lazear's brood of mosquitoes; he came safely 
 through a very severe attack. Doctor Agramonte was im- 
 mune. But it was the bite of a random mosquito in the 
 yellow fever ward that brought to Lazear the tragic end. 
 After five days, two chills ushered in the attack; in three 
 days more the dread black vomit came. He knew what 
 this foreshadowed; he had already placed in Doctor Car- 
 roll's hands all his notes; he knew he had but a few days 
 more to live. Doctor Lazear died at Quemados, a suburb 
 of Havana, on September 25, 1900, in his thirty-fifth year. 
 
 He was born in Baltimore on May 2, 1866. He left a 
 widow and two small children, one of whom he had never 
 seen. He lies interred in the Louden Park Cemetery in 
 Baltimore. 
 
 In 1913 the President issued an order naming the bat- 
 teries of coast artillery in honor of certain distinguished 
 officers of the army and among these is this one: "Battery 
 Lazear in honor of Dr. Jesse Lazear of Baltimore, Md., 
 late an acting Assistant Surgeon, United States Army, who 
 while on a visit to Las Animas Hospital, Havana, Cuba, 
 on September 13, 1900, and while collecting blood from 
 yellow fever patients for scientific study, was bitten by a 
 culex mosquito and deliberately allowed it to satisfy its 
 hunger and as a result contracted yellow fever, of which 
 he died on September 25, 1900, thus by his self-sacrifice 
 positively determining that the mosquito carries yellow 
 fever infection." 
 
 The story of this research is truly dramatic: the person- 
 nel; the swift change of plan from a fruitless search for 
 the specific germ as waste of time and effort, to the detec- 
 tion of the mode of propagation of the disease; the experi- 
 ments on human subjects; the call for volunteers; their 
 response and high courage; the tragic end of Doctor

 Lazear — all this in the short space of one year, and finally 
 then, the climax. 
 
 The brilliant work and heroic achievements of the great 
 commission were made of enduring benefit to the world 
 by the work of Major Gorgas. He had been an onlooker, 
 somewhat skeptical of the mosquito theory, but now he 
 was convinced and he immediately changed his plans to 
 conform to this discovery. In one year beginning March, 
 1901, the number of cases of yellow fever in Havana were 
 reduced from 1,240 to 31, and the number of deaths from 
 305 to 6 — yellow fever was wiped out. 
 
 The victory over yellow fever is the achievement of the 
 four men of the commission — its subjugation, the achieve- 
 ment of Major Gorgas. By special act of Congress in 1903 
 Major Gorgas was made Colonel and Assistant Surgeon 
 General and the next year he was sent to Panama as Chief 
 Sanitary Officer; there he remained nine years. But in 
 Panama there was not that beneficent combination of men 
 in authority such as had been the case in Cuba, there was 
 no General Wood there. The Canal Commission was badly 
 organized and poorly directed, medical advice even from 
 Colonel Gorgas was treated as medical advice often is. 
 Colonel Gorgas was hampered in many ways; he could 
 not get cooperation. It was not until Colonel Goethals 
 became chief executive that the medical officer had free 
 scope, and so the success in Cuba seemed for a time not 
 to be the thing it really was. The innumerable complicating 
 factors at Panama that were overcome by Colonel Gorgas 
 prove his title to fame. It is Panama rather than Havana 
 that is General Gorgas's monument. 
 
 His reputation was now an international one; in 1913 
 at the request of the British government he went to South 
 Africa on leave of absence to investigate the cause of the 
 high death rate from pneumonia in the Rand mines. On 
 his return via England he was honored by the University 
 of Oxford with the degree of Doctor of Science. He was 
 made Surgeon General of the United States Army in 1914 
 and in 1915 Congress raised him to the rank of Major- 
 
 37 
 
Cftilliam Cratoforb Oorgao 
 
 General. He was the first medical officer to hold that rank. 
 
 General Gorgas made a preliminary survey of the port 
 of Guayaquil in 1916 and in 1919 he spent several months 
 on the West Coast of South America and made recom- 
 mendations to the governments of Ecuador and Peru at their 
 request that have resulted in nearly exterminating yellow 
 fever there, particularly in Ecuador where greater attention 
 was paid to his advice. 
 
 As Surgeon General during the world war he did very 
 active service and in 1918 he made a tour of inspection 
 in France. He was a persistent advocate of giving rank 
 to medical men entering the army from civil life, in keeping 
 with their professional attainments. 
 
 While he was living in Panama Colonel Gorgas joined 
 the Society of Alumni of Bellevue Hospital and when he 
 came back from Africa he made an address: "Some Ob- 
 servations on Pneumonia in South Africa," in a most in- 
 formal, confraternal spirit, reviving also his recollections 
 of old Bellevue days when, in 1879-80, he was house sur- 
 geon on the Second (now the first) Division; he held any- 
 thing of Bellevue always in the deepest regard. Many 
 honors came to General Gorgas and he was a man who 
 could bear them well, there was nothing mean nor petty 
 about him, he was always approachable; it was said of 
 him that he was hard only on mosquitoes. His place though 
 was in the field, not in the swivel-chair. 
 
 In the spring of 1920 General Gorgas set out to look 
 into the conditions on the West African coast, another 
 stronghold of yellow fever. Arriving in Europe he went 
 first to the continent. He came back to London, and on 
 the very next day, May 30th, he had an apoplectic stroke 
 causing left-sided paralysis. He was removed to Queen 
 Alexandra Hospital. He improved to the degree that there 
 was hope in the minds of his British and American friends 
 that he might yet return home. He had with him his wife 
 and his friend Brigadier General Noble and other Amer- 
 ican officers, and he was under the immediate care of Colonel 
 Kennedy of the British Army Medical Corps. At the end 
 
 38

 of a month, however, he sank rapidly into unconsciousness 
 and died on the Fourth of July. 
 
 Full homage was paid to the memory of General Gorgas 
 by the British in funeral services at St. Paul's Cathedral 
 with military pomp. There were representatives of King 
 George and of Queen Alexandra, of the governments of 
 Belgium, Panama, Cuba, Canada, South Africa, Australia, 
 New Zealand, and Serbia. In June King George made 
 him a K.C.M.G He had the Buchanan Medal from the 
 Royal Society, the Mary Kingsley Medal from the Liver- 
 pool School of Tropical Medicine, the Gold Medal from 
 the American Museum of Safety and the American D.S.M. 
 His honorary degrees were the Sc.D. from Oxford, Penn- 
 sylvania, the University of the South (his alma mater), 
 Harvard, Brown and Jefferson Medical College and the 
 LL.D., from Alabama, Tulane and New York University. 
 
 William Crawford Gorgas was born in Mobile on Oc- 
 tober 3, 1854, the son of General Josiah Gorgas, a graduate 
 of West Point and Chief of Ordnance in the Confederate 
 Army, and after the war, president of the University of 
 the South, Sewanee, Tennessee, and Amelia (Gayle) Gor- 
 gas, a descendant of a former governor of Alabama. He 
 married in 1885 Miss Marie Cook Doughty of Cincinnati, 
 who, with his daughter, Mrs. W. D. Wrightson, survives 
 him. He died at the age of sixty-five years; his remains 
 were brought to this country and lie buried in Arlington 
 Cemetery, his grave being near to that of Major Reed. 
 
 A memorial to General Gorgas in commemoration of his 
 services to the world is to be erected at Panama City. It is 
 to be called The Gorgas Memorial Institute of Tropical 
 and Preventive Medicine. The site, the building and all 
 equipment is a gift to the United States by President Porras 
 and the Republic of Panama.

 Announcement is made herewith of the death of Dr. John B. 
 Voor, at Warsaw, Poland, on February 14, 1922. The enclosed 
 statement is furnished you from records in our files in order to 
 complete any obituary notice which you may think desirable. 
 
 Very truly yours, 
 
 A. C. Burnham, M.D. 
 
 Medical Director. 
 
 "Dr. John B. Voor died ... of typhus fever on the fifteenth 
 day of the disease. The disease was contracted at a refugee camp 
 at Baranowicze while on an inspection trip for the American Red 
 Cross. . . . He served with the American Red Cross in Serbia 
 during 1919 through the typhus epidemic there in April and May; 
 was in charge of the hospital at Chupriji, Serbia, from May, 1919, 
 until February, 1920. He served with the American Red Cross 
 in Poland from February, 1921, until his death." 
 
 Doctor Voor was appointed on the Second Division, 
 December 1, 1913, to complete an unexpired term and 
 served as pathological interne till July, 1914 and surgical 
 junior for six months subsequently. He was a graduate 
 of the medical department of the University of Louisville 
 of 1913. Just after leaving Bellevue on January 1, 1915, 
 he made a trip as surgeon on the steamer "Memphis" with

 cotton for Bremen. He returned in about two months and 
 began practice in Louisville. 
 
 In 1917 he joined Hospital Unit D (University Hospital, 
 Louisville), as Captain, M.C., trained at Fort McPherson, 
 Atlanta and went to France from Camp Merritt. This 
 unit was sent to Vichy in June and became part of that 
 hospital centre; here he met many who had known him 
 at Bellevue. At the time he received his discharge from 
 the army, January, 1919, he was stationed at Red Cross 
 Hospital 2 in Paris. He then enlisted in the Red Cross 
 and was sent to Serbia as above stated. 
 
 He received the medal of the Serbian Red Cross and 
 the Order of St. Sava. In the fall of 1920 he came home 
 on a visit of about six weeks and then went back and to 
 Poland. 
 
 Captain Voor was born in Louisville, Kentucky, on 
 April 18, 1890, and was the third son of six children of 
 Herman Voor, v/ho was from Westphalia, Germany, and 
 Anna M. (Koetter) Voor, born in Cincinnati, Ohio. He 
 was educated at St. Vincent de Paul parochial school and 
 St. Xavier College. His parents and two brothers survive 
 him — an elder, William H. Voor, of 633 East Oak Street, 
 Louisville and a younger, Bernard H. Voor. 
 
 The following is an extract from a report of the League 
 of Nations on the health situation in eastern Europe, 
 quoted in the British Medical Journal of March 25, 1922, 
 of the people repatriated through Baranowicze: "In the 
 first week of December, of the 540 who arrived at the 
 station, all had to be admitted to the hospital; 179 of 
 them died — 120 of them died in the hospital and 59 of 
 them were brought in dead. Of the 400 members of the 
 personnel, 114 at present (January, 1922) are down with 
 typhus. . . ." 
 
 This gives some conception of the conditions at the 
 time and under which Captain Voor lost his life.

JANE ARMINDA DELANO 
 
 Director-General of the Department of Nursing 
 American Red Cross. 
 
 Distinguished Service Medal. 
 
 Died at Savenay, Loire-Inferieure, April 15, 1919. 
 
 During the Civil War there died at New Orleans of a 
 camp fever a soldier who left a widow and a little daugh- 
 ter. This daughter, years afterward, like her father, laid 
 down her life also in the service of her country. 
 
 To tell of the work of the nurses in the world war, to 
 describe the foresight and wisdom of forming the corps, 
 the enormous labor involved in organizing it, the care 
 taken in selecting the personnel — to do this would be to 
 set forth the service of this daughter; her imagination, judg- 
 ment, energy and personal magnetism built up the depart- 
 ment of nursing till it was able to fulfil its purpose as a 
 service of the first importance in the work of relief. It 
 was due to Miss Delano and those who worked under her, 
 that when this country did finally go to war, there were 
 on the Red Cross roll eight thousand fully^-trained nurses 
 ready, and when the war ended, over ten thousand more. 
 
 Miss Delano began this great work in 1912 when she took 
 charge of the department of nursing in the American Red 
 Cross a few years after the Red Cross had been reorganized 
 on a national basis. She was then in her fifty-third year 
 and had just resigned the office of Superintendent of the 
 United States Army Nurse Corps, a place which she had 
 filled for three years and which had taken her out to 
 Hawaii, to the Philippines and to China. This achieve- 
 ment places Miss Delano in the first rank; it was the 
 culminating work of her life.

 Miss Delano began her career by pioneer work in the 
 field. Two years after finishing her training as head nurse 
 of old Ward 16 of the Third Surgical Division, she volun- 
 teered and braved the yellow fever epidemic at Jackson- 
 ville, Florida, and after this was ended, in 1889, she under- 
 took a formidable job at a mining camp in the Territory 
 of Arizona, near the Mexican border. In an article in 
 "The Red Cross Courier"* Miss Noyes says that Miss Delano 
 lived there in "a two-room tin shack . . . Her only 
 means of locomotion was a Pinto pony; her sole escort, 
 
 . . an army revolver." 
 
 It was these experiences, no doubt, that first brought 
 to Miss Delano's mind the idea which she finally put into 
 concrete form in 1916. In that year when the country 
 was making ready for war, Miss Delano made her will. 
 She bequeathed to the American Red Cross the sum of 
 twenty-five thousand dollars, the income from which, to- 
 gether with the royalties from the book, "Home Hygiene 
 and Care of the Sick," she devised for the establishment 
 and maintenance of public health nursing services in re- 
 mote or out-of-the-way settlements that are too poor and 
 too unprogressive to begin such a thing for themselves. 
 She laid down the conditions that should govern the selec- 
 tion of the communities and what she thought the qualifi- 
 cations of the nurses should be. Miss Noyes says that 
 the amount from the sale of the book will be much greater 
 than Miss Delano thought it would be, for the book is 
 the recognized authority on this subject and is about to 
 go into a third edition, so that there will be funds enough 
 for three or four Delano Red Cross nurses. This far- 
 sighted philanthropy Miss Delano designed as a memorial 
 to her father and mother. 
 
 In person, Miss Delano was tall, of dignified bearing, 
 gentle and affable in manner; able, resolute and self-reliant, 
 she put strength and steadiness in others. Whenever any 
 group of nurses was to leave for Europe, and her work

 permitted, Miss Delano came over from Washington to 
 bid them good-bye. Finally she went herself. 
 
 On January 2, 1919, she sailed for France for the pur- 
 pose of making a personal survey of the nursing situation 
 in that country, in Italy and in the Balkans. In France 
 however, before the end of January, Miss Delano fell sick 
 of an ear infection which perforated the ear-drum, and 
 she was treated for this at A. R. C. Hospital 101 in Neuilly. 
 In a short time she resumed her tour of inspection, saying 
 "I must go on with my work." But mastoiditis developing, 
 she was operated on at Savenay on February 21st, and 
 a second time three days afterward; to little effect, how- 
 ever, though she seemingly improved, for by March 23rd 
 the diagnosis was made of deep-seated abscess of the brain 
 and the patient had to submit to the ordeal of operation 
 a third time and on April 12th still a fourth time. 
 
 Miss Delano, the chief of American nurses, died in Base 
 Hospital 69 at Savenay, on April 15, 1919. A devoted 
 daughter of Bellevue, she added lustre to Bellevue's old 
 renown. 
 
 She was an alumna of the class of 1886 at the Bellevue 
 Training School. Miss Delano had been superintendent of 
 the training school in the Hospital of the University of 
 Pennsylvania for five years when in May, 1902, she came 
 back to Bellevue as general superintendent of nurses, which 
 onerous position she filled till October, 1906. She was 
 three times elected president of the American Nurses' Asso- 
 ciation and was once a director of the American Journal 
 of Nursing. 
 
 Miss Delano's father was George Delano, the only child 
 of the Reverend Daniel Delano; her mother was Mary 
 (Right) Delano of Albion, New York. She was born in 
 the home of her grandfather, near the village of Townsend 
 in Schuyller County, New York, in March, 1858. When 
 she was three years old her father went to war. He reached 
 the grade of first lieutenant and shortly after this he died 
 of yellow fever. Though Miss Delano had no recollec- 
 tion of having seen her father, she had idealized in her 
 
 44 
 
lane #rmin&a SDelano 
 
 memory the event and circumstance of his death; this had 
 ever a strong influence upon her life; she carried his pic- 
 ture always about with her. Miss Delano could ask for 
 no greater glory than to die as her father died — in her 
 country's service. 
 
 Miss Delano's body was brought to this country in Sep- 
 tember, 1919, and on the 18th of the month was interred 
 in Arlington Cemetery with full military honors. 
 
 The Jane A. Delano Post No. 344 of the American Legion 
 was organized in this city in July, 1919. The honor of 
 being first commander was given Miss Beatrice Bamber, 
 who was chief nurse of the Bellevue unit. The Post meets 
 monthly at the Central Club for Nurses. 
 
 Citation — posthumous : 
 
 "By direction of the President and under the provisions 
 of the act of Congress approved July 9, 1918, the distin- 
 guished service medal was awarded posthumously to Miss 
 Jane A. Delano for exceptionally meritorious and conspicu- 
 ous service as Director, Department of Nursing, American 
 Red Cross. She applied her great energy and used her 
 powerful influence among the nurses of the country to se- 
 cure enrollments in the American Red Cross. Through 
 her great efforts and devotion to duty eighteen thousand 
 seven hundred and thirty-two nurses were secured and 
 transferred to the Army Nurse Corps for service during 
 the war. Thus she was a great factor in assisting the 
 Medical Department in caring for the sick and wounded."

CARRIE JANE BRINK 
 
 General Superintendent of Training Schools, 
 Bellevue Hospital. 
 
 Died in New York, December 10, 1920. 
 
 When the Bellevue Hospital Unit of the American Red 
 Cross was forming in 1916, Miss Brink was the one person 
 to choose the nursing staff — to get together the equipment 
 and paraphernalia; these things fell largely in her sphere 
 and every one naturally looked to her to perform the task 
 without any doubt of the result. And justly — she was well 
 fitted for it, her twenty-five years of residence in Bellevue 
 as pupil, teacher and supervisor gave her a knowledge of 
 Bellevue graduates that few others possessed; her ideals, 
 her standards of nursing, her high regard for the honor of 
 Bellevue and her affection for the hospital were guaranties; 
 she held fast to the tenet that watchfulness is the essence 
 of nursing — to keep watch and ward would be her motto. 
 
 The task was to bring sixty-five nurses together who would 
 live in harmony and work together under one appointed 
 chief nurse; to obtain for each certifications of prophylactic 
 inoculations; to secure a passport for each; to arrange 
 for the oath of allegiance; and this over and over again, 
 for some withdrew before the unit was completed to take 
 other positions in the service. The task was done, the 
 nurses went to France and no small part of their success, 
 both as individuals and as a unit is due to the discriminating 
 judgment of Miss Brink and their personal loyalty to her 
 and to one another. 
 
 Miss Brink was the good right arm of each of the gen- 
 eral superintendents of nurses to whom she was coadjutor.

 She spent herself in the interests of the school and the 
 hospital. During the last six years, especially, the work 
 was extraordinarily heavy; the opening of the two new 
 surgical pavilions and the transfer of patients from the 
 old wards to the new was no small business in itself; then 
 came the disorganization of the nursing service due to 
 the war, the epidemic of infantile paralysis and finally, 
 after this the fearful experience with influenza. All this 
 told heavily on Miss Brink. 
 
 Miss Brink had suffered two attacks of acute phlebitis 
 in veins of her leg and was barely recovered from the last 
 one when, on December 10, 1920, while on her way over 
 from her morning's work she fell in syncope in the entrance- 
 hall of the residence and expired as she was taken to her 
 room. She was fifty-one years of age. 
 
 Carrie J. Brink, twenty-two years old, came fresh from 
 teaching school to Bellevue in 1891 and was graduated 
 two years later. She was born in Binghamton, New York, 
 in 1869. She became one of the staff of instructors in the 
 Bellevue Training School and in 1898 Assistant Superin- 
 tendent and General Superintendent of the Training Schools 
 of the Department in 1920. 
 
 Miss Brink is survived by a brother and several sisters; 
 her niece, Miss Dennis, graduated at the Cornell Medical 
 School in 1906, married Dr. John H. Schall of Brooklyn, 
 and she is now in practice in that borough.

EVA EMMONS 
 
 American Red Cross, 
 
 Women's Overseas Hospital. 
 
 Died in Labouheyre, Landes, France, in November, 1918. 
 
 When the war first broke out Miss Emmons volunteered 
 for service with the Red Cross and from April 15, 1915, till 
 January 16, 1916, she served in Belgium with American 
 Red Cross Unit 1. Afterward she went to Paris and volun- 
 teered her services at a hospital there returning home after 
 about a year for rest. 
 
 On July 10, 1918, she was assigned by the Red Cross 
 to U. S. General Hospital 1 in New York but "did not 
 execute orders as she was on duty in a hospital in New 
 York which was caring for wounded and sick officers under 
 government supervision. Nurse did not notify Red Cross 
 when she went abroad." This was not uncharacteristic 
 of Miss Emmons: she had several singularities. She was 
 a competent nurse nevertheless; she was night superin- 
 tendent of nurses at Bellevue from July, 1910 to May, 1911, 
 when she resigned. When the war first broke out she 
 was quick to respond; she had valuable services to give 
 and she gave them — more than that, she gave her life. 
 
 Without notifying Red Cross Miss Emmons left this 
 hospital in New York to go with the Women's Overseas 
 Hospital. The next that was heard of her, Miss Noyes 
 writes, is from a newspaper clipping received at Head- 
 quarters in November, 1918, announcing the death of Miss 
 Emmons from influenza at the Refugee Unit at Labouheyre. 
 
 Eva Emmons was born in Beason, Logan County, Illinois, 
 on November 28, 1885. We have been unable to trace 
 Miss Emmons's family. She was graduated in the class 
 of 1910 at Bellevue Training School.

GRACE McBRIDE 
 
GRACE McBRIDE 
 
 Superintendent Warren Memorial Hospital, 
 Hwang Hien, Shantung, 
 
 American Red Cross Hospital, Tiumen, Siberia. 
 
 Died in Tiumen, West Siberia, December 23, 1918. 
 
 Miss McBride was graduated at the Bellevue Hospital 
 Training School, completing the full course in 1911. She 
 was already a graduate of a Philadelphia training school 
 and had spent a time in private nursing but she wanted 
 above all a Bellevue diploma. After leaving Bellevue she 
 took the superintendency of a private hospital in Chatta- 
 nooga and it was while she was there that she decided to 
 devote herself thereafter to mission work. With this end 
 in view she went for special training to the Baptist Mission 
 School in Louisville, Kentucky. Anyone who knew Miss 
 McBride at Bellevue would say that she was pretty well 
 qualified when the Foreign Mission Board of the Southern 
 Baptist Convention decided to send her to China, She 
 left her native land on the China Mail steamer March 16, 
 1916. After some months at the hospital in Hwang Hien 
 where she had charge of the women's work, she went to 
 the Language School in Peking, and in the spring of 1917 
 returned to her work in the hospital at Hwang Hien. 
 
 But things soon were quite different — the great war in 
 the Far West was coming nearer and nearer; Russian 
 revolutions, a Czecho-Slovakian army pushing westward on 
 the Siberian railway, the American Red Cross organizing 
 a great base in Vladivostok, Grace McBride's own country 
 in the fighting, at last, her brothers in the camps — she had 
 a hard struggle with herself which she ended by offering 
 herself to the Red Cross. Accepted by wire she left Hwang 
 Hien and sailed with a party of nurses and doctors from 
 
 49 
 
CBzate S^cBrifc* 
 
 Shanghai on September 20, 1918, for Vladivostok, arriving 
 there four days later. A Red Cross sanitary train, a fully 
 equipped hospital, was making ready to cross Siberia for 
 an unknown destination. It began its perilous journey on 
 September 29th and Miss McBride was placed in charge 
 of the mess on the train. In a month they arrived at 
 Tiumen, a river town about two hundred miles east of 
 Ekaterinburg, that place of evil memory. Here they were 
 to stay and for four days they lived aboard the train. 
 
 On November 4th the Tiumen Hospital, A.R.C., was 
 opened and Miss McBride was assigned to the operating 
 room; on December 3rd she became night supervisor. Ten 
 days of this and she reported on the sick-list with typhus 
 fever and in a week and a half, this stout-hearted woman 
 passed away, on December 23, 1918, aged thirty-three years. 
 She is buried in Tiumen. She had intended to return to 
 Hwang Hien but she finished her work in Tiumen. 
 
 "When she knew her time was short," her mother writes, 
 "she told one of the nurses 'I am not going to get well 
 and will go soon; I am ready — I am not afraid to die.' All 
 through her life she was always ready ... no doubt 
 in answer to her prayers the Red Cross gave the hospital 
 (at Hwang Hien) four thousand dollars of supplies in her 
 memory; they have made the hospital larger." 
 
 Grace McBride was born in Richland County, Ohio, on 
 December 11, 1885, the fifth child of the late Washington 
 McBride of that county and Mary A. (Au) McBride of 
 Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. She had six brothers 
 and three sisters; also two half-brothers and two half-sisters. 
 One half-brother, Doctor Franklin E. McBride, was a 
 graduate of Rush Medical College, Chicago; he died of 
 typhus in Kalgan, China, in 1890, a medical missionary. 
 
 Mrs. McBride's address is: Mrs. Mary A. McBride, 
 R.F.D. 4, Mansfield, Ohio.

KATHLEEN ELIZABETH SYMMES 
 
 American Red Cross, Group D, A.E.F. 
 
 Died in Southampton, England, October 4, 1918. 
 
 Miss Symmes completed the full course of two years and 
 nine months at the Bellevue Training School for Nurses 
 and was graduated with the class of 1913. She enlisted 
 in the Red Cross in 1918, was assigned to duty as 
 Reserve on May 30th and ordered to U. S. General Hos- 
 pital 1, New York City. She was on duty there until Sep- 
 tember 14th when she was transferred for foreign service 
 and sent oversea with Group D, American Expeditionary 
 Forces. Miss Symmes began the voyage as a nurse — she 
 arrived a patient with influenza and her life closed in 
 hospital in Southampton on October 4, 1918; she was 
 buried at Winchester, England. 
 
 After graduating, Miss Symmes did private nursing in 
 and about New York until 1916 when she was obliged to 
 go home to take care of her father who had suffered a 
 paralysis. She remained at home for two years, longing 
 all the while to do something to help win the war, little 
 dreaming that she would die before her father and in the 
 line of duty. During the four months here before sailing 
 she wrote home but seldom and not at all about her ex- 
 perience as an army nurse. 
 
 Born in Aylmer, Quebec, on December 23, 1889, Kathleen 
 Elizabeth Symmes was in her thirtieth year. Her parents 
 are still living in Aylmer; her father, Mr. Tiberius Wright 
 Symmes was born there while her mother, Lila (Ritchie) 
 Symmes is from Ottawa. She had two brothers and one 
 sister; one brother, Doctor C. R. Symmes, graduated in 
 medicine at the Queens University, Kingston, is in practice 
 at Port Moody, British Columbia; the other is H. T. Sym- 
 mes, and her sister is Mrs. Janet Lois O'Halloran. Her edu- 
 cation was received first at Aylmer, then at Westmount 
 Academy in Montreal.

THE BELLEVUE UNIT 
 
THE BELLEVUE UNIT. 
 
 Base Hospital 1, A E.F. 
 
 Vichy, France. 
 
 At the time of the Armistice there were one hundred 
 and fifty-three American base hospitals in England, France 
 and Italy, one hundred and twenty-two camp hospitals in 
 England, France and Belgium and thirty-eight evacuation 
 hospitals in France and Germany. Many Bellevue men 
 were attached to these organizations at one time or another. 
 
 The first fifty of the base hospitals were organized by 
 the American Red Cross; they were numbered from one 
 to fifty and were taken over by the War Department before 
 they left the United States a part of the American Ex- 
 peditionary Forces. 
 
 When this base hospital plan was broached in 1916 
 there was some misapprehension concerning it. For one 
 thing, it was rumored that these units might be the only 
 organizations to see service when the United States went 
 into the war. As it turned out this was really an advantage 
 to the Bellevue unit because it brought to it a body of 
 resolute, high-class, well-educated young men who enlisted 
 as privates and signed up with the unit to serve as corps- 
 men. They were eager and anxious for service at the 
 front but they stuck loyally to the unit nevertheless, did 
 all kinds of menial labor at Vichy and they took a large 
 part in the successful work of the unit; it was not the 
 kind of service they had been looking for or expected, but 
 they kept nobly at it till the end — one hundred and fifty- 
 three first class enlisted soldiers. 
 
 Base Hospital 1 represented Bellevue Hospital specially 
 in France and was widely known as the Bellevue Unit. It 
 
 54 
 
<H%t Bellebu* WLnit 
 
 had been organized and equipped at Bellevue, there was 
 a larger number of Bellevue men on this than on any 
 other unit and the entire nursing staff was composed of 
 Bellevue nurses. 
 
 The recruiting of the medical and surgical staff of 
 the unit and of the enlisted men was begun by Doctor 
 George D. Stewart, and when he was compelled to with- 
 draw because of disability it was continued under the di- 
 rection of Doctor Edward L. Keyes, Jr., he taking the place 
 of Doctor Stewart as Surgical Director; after several 
 months, Doctor Keyes and Doctor George B. Wallace, 
 Medical Director, were ordered to Fort Benjamin Harrison. 
 Doctor Keyes did not return to the unit, so that the work 
 of organization was continued under Doctor Wallace as 
 chief. 
 
 The medical and surgical personnel when completed was 
 constituted as follows: 
 
 Majors 
 George B. Wallace John C. McCoy 
 
 Captains 
 R. Travis Atkins William W. Maver 
 
 Carl G. Burdick James F. Nagle

 Five of the above-named medical officers had not been 
 connected with Bellevue Hospital before, namely, Major 
 McCoy, Captains Martland and Maver and Lieutenants 
 Darlington and Weeks; Lieutenants Finnegan and Heffern 
 were on the dental staff at Bellevue, 
 
 Major John Charles McCoy graduated in medicine at 
 Columbia in 1892 and he was and is still, in the practice 
 of surgery in Paterson, New Jersey and Visiting Surgeon 
 to the Paterson General Hospital. He remained with the 
 unit for about three weeks in France when he was ordered 
 to another hospital. 
 
 Captain Harrison Stanford Martland is pathologist to 
 the Newark City Hospital and he served with the unit in 
 that capacity; he also is a graduate of Columbia in the 
 class of 1905. Captain Martland remained with the unit 
 till the muster-out. 
 
 Captain William Wallace Maver, a graduate in 1909 
 of Long Island College Hospital, joined the unit from 
 Jersey City where he was in the practice of radiology. He 
 was ordered to active service in June, 1917, to the Army 
 School of Roentgenology at Cornell Medical College till 
 December. He was radiologist to the unit in Vichy during 
 the entire service oversea. 
 
 Lieutenant Webb William Weeks, M.D., Columbia, 1912, 
 while at Vichy in September, 1918, was ordered on de- 
 tached service with Operating Team 42 under Captain 
 Burdick, and at the end of October to the American Hos- 
 pital at Paris for three months; promoted to be major in 
 February, 1919. 
 
 Lieutenant Charles Goodliffe Darlington graduated at the 
 Medico-Chirurgical College of Philadelphia in 1915. He 
 was on detached service with the Motor Mechanics service 
 at Nevers, France, during April and May, 1918, returned 
 to Vichy in June as assistant pathologist to Captain Mart- 
 land; promoted to a captaincy in February, 1919. 
 
 All other members of Base Hospital 1 were either on the 
 visiting staff at Bellevue or had been internes there.

 Major George Barclay Wallace is Assistant Visiting 
 Physician on the Third Division and Professor of Phar- 
 macology in the New York University. He already had 
 had army experience. Graduating in medicine at Ann Ar- 
 bor, Michigan, in 1897, he was appointed assistant to Pro- 
 fessor A. R. Cushny and instructor in pharmacology in the 
 University of Michigan. In 1900 he volunteered his services 
 to go to the Philippines and he served one year in the 
 islands as surgeon with the 42nd U. S. Infantry during the 
 Insurrection. Major Wallace was chief of the medical 
 service of Base Hospital 1 until August, 1918, when he 
 was transferred to Base Hospital 66 at Neufchateau. 
 
 Captain Arthur Mullin Wright is a graduate of Cornell 
 Medical College of 1905 and served as interne in St. Vin- 
 cent's Hospital, and in 1917 was Assistant Visiting Surgeon 
 on the Third Division of Bellevue. On August 1 he was 
 ordered to active service at the Rockefeller Institute in 
 New York, thence to Fort Oglethorpe and on September 15th 
 to the University of Pennsylvania for a course in neurolog- 
 ical surgery. A few days after arriving at Vichy he was 
 ordered to the French Evacuation Hospital at Annel and 
 on April 1, to the one at Pont Ste. Maxence till June 1st; 
 promoted major in April, 1918; to U. S. Military Hospital

 Pont Rousseau March 5, Nice April 3; promotions: Captain, 
 Major. 
 
 The other members of the unit are recorded in the Roll 
 of Members on page 173 and those which follow. 
 
 In two respects the unit did not quite live up to its name 
 of Number One; it was not the first one organized nor was 
 it the first to cross the ocean.* But however that may be, 
 its right or title to be in the first class derives in part 
 from the character and work of the nurses. Trained in 
 dealing with things on a large scale and with emergencies, 
 chosen by one who knew her business, Miss Brink, they 
 justified her and themselves. 
 
 The names of the nurses and the positions held by them 
 at the time the unit was formed are subjoined:

 The base hospital plan called for six civilian employees 
 with each unit. Those with the Bellevue unit were: Miss 
 Vera Howard, the Dietitian of Bellevue Hospital ; Anna 
 Tjomsland, M.D., Cornell, 1914, interne on the Fourth 
 Division in 1914-1915, who joined in this capacity but 
 who was given charge of a ward later on; Miss Lehman, 
 secretary to Major Wallace, Miss Taylor, who acted as 
 interpreter, Miss McCoy, clerk in the X-Ray Department 
 and Miss Blaisdell.* 
 
 Mrs. E. H Harriman made a gift to the unit of twenty-five 
 thousand dollars for the purchase of equipment; this had 
 to be supplemented for these units were expensive affairs. 
 The Red Cross bases averaged three times this amount and 
 the Bellevue unit cost nearly one hundred thousand dol- 
 lars; it had a fine equipment; most of the cost was sub- 
 scribed by private donations and the balance by Red Cross. 
 
 All was ready in the winter of 1917 and on February 
 23, 1918, the unit embarked on the "Olympic" for oversea 
 service. There were two other hospital units on the ship, 
 
 •To make the record complete : the quartermaster was Captain C M. Brune, 
 U.S.R., the Chaplain. Captain W. L. Wood. A.R.C, and two members of the 
 U. S. Sanitary Corps: Lieutenants, R. E. Hare. U.S.A.. who was adjutant, and 
 R. De Vecchi, N.A. The commanding officer was Major W. D. Webb, M.C, U.S.A.

 a regiment of engineers and a large force of aviation troops; 
 in all about seven thousand. 
 
 The hospital people had their work cut out for them for 
 measles and mumps and influenza and pneumonia developed 
 promptly and there was something to do during the eleven 
 days of the voyage to Liverpool. 
 
 The unit arrived at Havre, via Southampton, on March 
 10th and on the night of March 12th at Vichy. 
 
 Base Hospital 1 was the first at Vichy and they organized 
 the Vichy hospital centre, and had all the work there to 
 do till the next unit arrived in June, B. H. 19 from Roches- 
 ter, New York. The first patients, 252 French wounded, 
 arrived on April 9th and two days later 358 American 
 wounded. 
 
 Eventually the Vichy Hospital Centre comprised Base 
 Hospitals 1, 19, 76, 109 and 115 and the auxiliary, Hos- 
 pital Unit D from Louisville; twenty-one hotels were taken 
 over and other buildings, and at one time had nearly six 
 thousand beds. Like the other base units B. H. 1 was or- 
 ganized on a basis of five hundred beds but when it got 
 to France it, again like most if not all of the others, had 
 twice as many and more to take care of. It functioned 
 throughout the service as a general base hospital. The 
 only base hospital that was organized as a special hospital 
 before it left the United States was B. H. 117, a psychiatric 
 unit, but many were specialized after they got to France. 
 
 Base hospitals numbered from 51 upward were organized 
 by the National Army; those with numbers above 200 by 
 the N. A. in France. The Red Cross organized some 
 hospitals in France and some of these were taken over 
 by the army. Besides these there were Red Cross units 
 organized at smaller hospitals in this country which were 
 denoted by letters, and these were amalgamated with other 
 organizations after they reached the other side; such, for 
 instance, were Unit B of Yonkers, Unit D of Louisville, 
 Unit F of Harlem, and so on. 
 
 There was one death in the personnel of the unit, Sergeant 
 Louis D. Short, the pharmacist, who died of pneumonia

 on February 17, 1919. The total number of cases cared 
 for by the Bellevue Unit from April 9, 1918 till January

 American. 
 
 The unit left Vichy for home on March 5, 1919.

OBITUARY 
 
In the course of twenty-nine years down to 1915, the 
 losses by death were ninety-nine, not including Assistant 
 Surgeons Gibbs and Lazear in the Cuban campaign. Had 
 the same rate prevailed during the seven years just past, 
 the deaths should have been twenty-four — there were 
 thirty-seven, besides those caused directly by the war. 
 
 The average age in the first period was fifty-five years; 
 the youngest was twenty-five and the oldest ninety-three 
 years. In the second period the average age was sixty- 
 one; the youngest thirty-five, the oldest eighty-eight. 
 
 Set this down to the war — to the power of the Four 
 Horsemen. Many a heart kept the home fires burning 
 and upheld the standards of the Unknown Warrior; suf- 
 fered with him; proud of his honor and his glory, yet 
 unnumbered with him in the terrible toll of War.

WILLIAM OSLER 
 From a photograph in the library of the New York Academy of Medicine 
 
Sir WILLIAM OSLER, Bt., F.R.S., F.R.C.P. 
 Regius Professor of Medicine, University of Oxford. 
 
 Doctor Osier was elected to honorary membership in the Society 
 of Alumni of Bellevue Hospital thirty-three years ago when he 
 delivered the Annual Address before the Society at the New York 
 Academy of Medicine in 1889. He was at that time about to resign 
 from the professorship of clinical medicine in the University of 
 Pennsylvania to take the chair of the Principles and Practice of 
 Medicine at Johns Hopkins University. 
 
 Aside from tuberculosis, two of the important subjects in clinical 
 pathology and medicine at that time were: first, the work by Metch- 
 nikoff on the amoeboid cells of the body and his theory that through 
 these cells by a process which he called phagocytosis, the animal 
 body protected itself against bacterial infection or because of its 
 failure, succumbed, and second, the discovery by Laveran in 1880 
 of the cause of malaria, a discovery which Dr. Osier had only recently 
 convinced himself was true, for, as he says in this lecture, up to 
 1886 "I was among those who looked upon the work of Laveran 
 with extreme incredulity." This lecture* on "Phagocytes," is a 
 critical resume of this theory of Metchnikoff applied to bacterial 
 infections and an exposition of its failure to meet the facts of malaria. 
 Professor Osier concluded: "while it (phagocytosis) undoubtedly 
 plays a most important part in many pathological conditions, the 
 question of an active destructive warfare waged by the body cells 
 against the micro-organisms of disease must still be considered an 
 open one." 
 
 Professor Osier was forty years of age in that year; three years 
 more elapsed before the first edition of his great book appeared, 
 the "Text Book of Medicine," in 1902. Doctor Thomas McCrae, 
 in the preface to the last edition, that of 1920, says: "It is a grim 
 coincidence that at the time of my association as assistant author 
 in 1912 he planned to give up active participation in the revision 
 when he reached seventy years of age." 
 
 Dr. Osier was the sixth son of the Reverend Featherstonei Lake 
 Osier and Ellen (Free) Osier and was born at Bond Head, Ontario, 
 on July 12, 1849. As to his early education: up to 1870 he attended 
 school and Trinity College, Toronto, and in 1872 was graduated 
 in medicine from McGill University where in 1874, after studying 
 
 65 
 
S>tt Cfiitlliam £>0lec, Bt. 
 
 in Europe, he began his teaching career in the chair of the Institutes 
 of Medicine, leaving there ten years later to go to Philadelphia. 
 
 He was married in 1892 to Miss Grace Revere, the eldest daugh- 
 ter of John Revere and the great grand-daughter of Paul Revere. 
 They had one child, a son; this son died in France in 1917, aged 
 twenty-one, from wounds received in battle. 
 
 Sir William Osier was made a baronet at the time of the 
 coronation of King George V; some of his many honors were the 
 Sc.D. from Oxford, Cambridge, Dublin, Liverpool, and Leeds, that 
 of LL.D. from McGill, Toronto, Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Yale, Harvard 
 and Johns Hopkins and D.C.L. from Durham, Trinity and Toronto. 
 
 He died at his residence, Norham Gardens, Oxford, on December 
 29, 1919; he was nearly six months over seventy years of age. 
 Bronchitis and pneumonia of an ill-defined type which began with 
 a chill three months before, failed to clear up and resulted in 
 empyema, necessitating an operation a few days before Christmas; 
 following this the patient improved a little but the end came 
 suddenly. 
 
 Doctor Harvey Cushing has been requested by Lady Osier to 
 write a biography of her husband; he is now engaged upon this 
 work and desires anyone who possesses any authentic notes or 
 letters of Professor Osier to communicate with him at the Peter 
 Bent Brigham Hospital, Boston. 
 
 A remarkable incident is recorded of Doctor Osier by his friend, 
 Professor Arthur Thomson of Oxford in the obituary in the British 
 Medical Journal, that in the autumn of the year of his death while 
 on a holiday in the Channel Islands he indulged himself in "all 
 sorts of acrobatic performances, such as standing on his head and 
 turning cartwheels on the sands"!

 Medical Division, April to October, 1872. 
 
 The year after leaving the hospital Dr. Smith was appointed Attending Physician 
 in Diseases of the Heart and Lungs in the Demilt Dispensary, a position he held 
 till 1879. During these years he acted for some time as clinical assistant to Pro- 
 fessor Alfred L. Loomis in his private classes. He was also Assistant Visiting 
 Physician and Surgeon at the Woman's Hospital under Dr. T. Gaillard Thomas, 
 who was himself an alumnus of Bellevue of the House Staff of 1853. He 
 served here till 1879. In March of this year Dr. Polk resigned the chair 
 of Materia Medica and Therapeutics in the Bellevue school to teach Gynaecology 
 at the University Medical College; Smith was the Lecturer and in 1880 he suc- 
 ceeded to the full professorship which he held till 1892. This latter year he was 
 made Professor of the Principles and Practice of Medicine and, on the merging 
 of these two schools in 1898, Professor Smith continued in this chair in the faculty, 
 the position he held at the time of his death. 
 
 In 1882 Dr. Smith was given one of the positions of Visiting on the 3rd Medical

 and was born at Wantage, nearby Newton, on March 25, 1847. 
 
 He began practice on leaving Bellevue with Dr. Lent of Cold Spring on the 
 Hudson, and after a short while there, on Dr. Fordyce Barker looking about for 
 a young, active and efficient man to help him in his large and exacting practice, 
 he took Smith into partnership. This was the beginning of private work that 
 made great demands on his time and made difficult, often, the performance of his 
 hospital and college duties; but as time went on and his work in each field in- 
 creased, he gave more and more attention to the college work. He was a very 
 successful practitioner of medicine. He had a charm of person and of manner 
 that attracted; he had a ready insight into character and qualities that endeared 
 him to patients and to students alike. 
 
 For a long while and up to the time of his death, Doctor Smith was very 
 active in the executive counsels of the hospital and in the Academy of Medicine; 
 he was one of the Trustees of the Academy for ten years. He was a fellow of 
 the American Medical Association, a member of the Association of American 
 Physicians, the Americal Climatological and the National Association for the Study 
 and Prevention of Tuberculosis; the Clinical, the Practitioners' and the Medical

 GEORGE WILLIAM THOMSON 
 
 George William Thomson was of Scottish parentage. His father, the Reverend 
 Adam Thomson. wa9 of Glasgow, a lawyer and clever scholar who prepared for the 
 ministry and, his health demanding residence in a warmer climate, was ordained 
 and went out to Jamaica. British West Indies, as a missionary of the Scotch Kirk. 
 There, at The Manse in Montego Bay, a town on the northwest coast of Jamaica, 
 on July 3, 1867, George William was born. When he was twelve years old he was 
 eent to England to be educated at the School for the Sons of Missionaries in 
 Blackheath, London. He studied there for six years and was graduated in 188+. 
 After spending a few months at London University he returned the next year to 
 Montego Bay. 
 
 In 1889 Mr. Thomson came to New York to study medicine at the Bellevue 
 Medical College and in 1892 he received his degree and an appointment on the 
 Third Medical Division; he wa9 House Physician from April till October, 1893. 
 Then he returned to Montego Bay to begin active practice and he became one 
 of the best known of practitioners of western Jamaica, keeping well up with the 
 time9 and coming not infrequently to New York, for he had many friends here. 
 
 When the great war started he would be off to the front and he was deeply 
 disappointed when they would not let him go, they giving as a reason that his 
 American diplomas were not sufficient and, besides, was he not already in gov- 
 ernment service, having been District Medical Officer for four years? — he was 
 needed more at home. Doctor Thomson was a man of high ideals and of decided 
 strength of character and the war stirred him greatly, nevertheless he must needs 
 be content — no easy matter. They made him Captain and Surgeon in the Jamaica 
 Reserve Regiment. 
 
 Influenza reached Jamaica in October, 1918, with paralyzing force and very 
 soon the D. M. 0. of Montego Bay, Doctor Thomson, was stricken down. After 
 two or three days he died on October 16th, aged fifty-one years. He was buried 
 with military honors.

 the spleen; he once was heard to say: "the spleen was not enlarged, at least,, I 
 couldn't feel it — even my house physician couldn't and he can feel things that I 
 can't feel." 
 
 Doctor Jackson had many agreeable qualities but it would he wrong to say that 
 tact was one of these. And he had an awkwardness of manner both iu gait and 
 •peech that subjected him to the irreverent though it added much to his pleas- 
 
 75 
 
GDbitmtv, 
 
 antrie9. Very often te9ty, he would yet go to exaggerated lengths to make amends.

 ROBERT COLEMAN JAMES 
 
 M.D.. New York University, 1893, House Physician on the Second Division 
 from April till October. 1895. 
 
 The start of Doctor James's teaching career was made as Instructor in Medicine 
 in New York University. In 1898 he was appointed Adjunct Professor of Obstetrics 
 and it was in this position that his exceptional talent as a teacher was fully 
 exercised. 
 
 Doctor James had been Assistant Attending Physician at the New York Lying-in 
 Hospital for several years when, in 1905. he was appointed Assistant Visiting Ob- 
 stetrician to Bellevue Hospital. During his service here the obstetrical department 
 was moved to the new A and B Pavilions and the old Emergency Hospital was 
 closed. This was in 1908. In 1911 the Emergency was re-opened as a School 
 for Midwives and shortly afterward an Out-Door Obstetrical Clinic was established. 
 It was in great measure due to Doctor James's ability and unremitting zeal that 
 the obstetrical service increased from fifteen to almost two hundred cases a month. 
 
 Doctor James "was a man of extensive knowledge and broad culture in litera- 
 ture, in art and in music. His love of nature was one of the charms of his 
 personality and his minute knowledge of flowers and of trees, of birds and of 
 animals made him a delightful out-of-door companion." (W. E. C). Nothing 
 charmed him more than life out-doors. He spent many a summer on long walking 
 tours in Europe. His constant companion on these trips was Doctor Chaffee, who 
 had served on the house staff in Bellevue with him; these two had traveled afoot 
 through the length and breadth of England and Ireland and on the continent. He 
 
 77 
 
flDtutuarp 
 
 was a man, moreover, of deep religious feeling, void of pretense, a man whose 
 early training guided him throughout life. 
 
 Doctor James was bom on a farm near Lexington, Kentucky, on November 11. 
 1865, a son of Mr. John G. and Nannie (Coleman) James. His father died when 
 Robert was ten years old and his mother and he moved then to the home of the 
 Reverend Doctor Douglas, pastor of Pisgah Presbyterian Church. He went to school 
 first in Pisgah and then to Transylvania University. On leaving the University he 
 went into business, but this was for a short while only: what he really wanted 
 to do was study medicine and he planned to do this and then, when he reached 
 the age of fifty years, to retire from practice. In 1890, his mother having passed 
 away, he came to New York with his cousin, Warren Coleman, and matriculated in 
 medicine; he was then twenty-five years old. So, when in 1915 he withdrew 
 from an assured position of influence and authority in his profession, he was 
 only carrying out the purpose he had long set his heart upon, of returning to 
 that rural life in Kentucky that he loved. 
 
 In three years, however, what he had planned he, for a while, set aside. "In 
 order to release Doctor Caldwell for active service in the army (I) came back to 
 New York and took up his work . . . for the duration of the war." So he 
 wrote in 1920. 
 
 At home in October, 1920, he was taken sick with broncho-pneumonia and to 
 this he succumbed. Doctor James died suddenly on November 13, 1920, when it 
 was thought he had recovered. He lived two days beyond his fifty-fifth birthday. 
 He never married. He is survived by his half-sister, Mrs. Phelps, who made her 
 home with him in Kentucky. 
 
 Doctor James was a member of the Southern Society, the Century Association 
 and the Phi Delta Gamma and Nu Sigma Nu fraternities. He joined the Society of

 ROBERT WILLIAMS CARTER 
 
 A. B. Princeton, '00; M.D., Columbia, '0+; First Surgical Division, January 1, 
 1907; interne, Sloane Maternity Hospital, 1907. 
 
 Just before the end of his term at Bellevue Doctor Carter had accepted a 
 commission from the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions to go as medical mis- 
 sionary to the Philippines. He married in January Miss Edna S. Ferris of Mont- 
 clair, and after a few months spent at the Sloane Maternity Hospital, he sailed in 
 September, 1907, with Mrs. Carter for that difficult field. 
 
 Carter came from a long line of missionaries and was imbued from youth 
 with the missionary spirit. His father was the son of the Reverend Thomas Carter 
 of Boonton, N. J., whose father, Robert Carter, was one of the first members of 
 the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions. His mother, Mrs. Hettie Dodd Carter. 
 was bom in Turkey, the daughter of the Reverend Doctor Dodd of Roberts Col- 
 lege, and Mrs. Lydia Dodd, missionaries in the Levant. 
 
 Doctor and Mrs. Carter went first to Dumaguete, Oriental Negros, and in the 
 Silliman Institute there he was professor of Physiology, Chemistry and Latin. The 
 next year they were transferred to the town of Massin, Island of Leyte and later 
 to Albay, Luzon. Here he developed sprue and after six years of hard and self-sacri- 
 ficing work he came home in 1914 to his native land. His health improved and he 
 opened an office at Verona, N. J., in 1915, and joined this society. In 1917 his health 
 had so much improved that he prevailed upon the board of missions to send him back 
 again to the Philippines. In the course of the next two years the old symptoms re- 
 curred and, though he was so severely affected that he was forced to remain in bed 
 twenty hours a day, he kept up his hospital work each morning until, finally they were 
 compelled to give up once more and return to the United States. This was in 1919. 
 He was in the Presbyterian Hospital, New York, for two months undergoing treatment 
 when, in September, he succumbed. The immediate cause of his death was the 
 rupture of a gangrenous vermiform appendix. 
 
 Doctor Carter was born in Boonton, N. J., on July 15, 1878, and he died 
 on November 21, 1919, aged forty-one years. He is survived by his wife, his 
 mother and several brothers and sisters.

 and kept up his active membership for twenty-three years till his death. He was 
 a member of the Leavenworth County and Kansas State Medical societies and 
 the American Medical Association. 
 
 For several year9 latterly, Doctor Phillips had been in bad health and his 
 work was much interrupted in consequence, yet he was able, while residing tem- 
 porarily in Philadelphia to work on the Draft Board. He died on March 5, 1920, 
 aged fifty-six years, quite suddenly and unexpectedly in St. Francis Hospital, 
 Topeka, where he had lived for six months. The immediate cause of his death

 so that he "had the unique honor of serving his hospital alma mater for a period 
 of sixty-seven years," * * * "His lectures proved signally interesting and in- 
 structive to the student bodies. They were characterized by the cultured manner 
 of his delivery, by his unfailing courtesy toward his listeners and by that perfection 
 of diction and rare phraseology which always distinguished him as a writer and 
 a lecturer." * * * "From his earliest membership in this society Dr. Gouley 
 displayed his marked personality in its management and advancement. His erudition 
 and knowledge of procedure were invaluable when it came to the framing of our 
 present Constitution and By-Laws and they owe much of their orderly form and 
 provisions for unforeseen contingencies to his care, acumen and zeal." 
 
 Doctor Gouley was Visiting Surgeon to St. Vincent's Hospital 1865-68 and Con- 
 sulting Surgeon from 1891 till his death. He was the author of "Diseases of the 
 Urinary Organs" (1873), which subject was his special field, and of "Diseases of 
 Man: Data of their Nomenclature. Classification and Genesis," (N. Y. 1888). 
 
 He was a Fellow of the American Medical Association and an honorary mem- 
 ber of the Royal Academy of Science. Havana. Cuba. 
 
 Dr. Gouley died in Brooklyn at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Lamarche, on 
 April 26, 1920, aged eighty-eight years.

 SILAS PIERSON LEVERIDGE 
 
 House Surgeon on the Second (now the First) Surgical Division from April till 
 October, 1880. He was Senior Assistant to Doctor Gorgas. He served as Ambulance 
 Surgeon for about fifteen months before entering upon his internship. He was 
 graduated at the Bellevue Hospital Medical College in 1879 in the same class with 
 Doctor Gorgas. 
 
 Doctor Leveridge lived and practiced medicine on East Broadway in this city 
 between Gouverneur and Montgomery Streets on the same block where, on October 
 31, 1855, he was born. His father. John L. Leveridge, and his grandfather, John 
 W. C. Leverdige, were physicians and practiced in that part of the East Side for 
 many years before him. He was therefore firmly linked with that district of 
 New York. 
 
 When he left the hospital in 1880 Doctor Leveridge was appointed Attending 
 Surgeon to the New York Dispensary and Attending Physician to the Eastern 
 Dispensary. He resigned the former place after five years and was advanced to 
 the position of Visiting Physician at the Eastern. Resigning this place in 1888, 
 he devoted himself to private practice thereafter. He waB always actively engaged, 
 not only in medical and charitable work, but in political affairs as well. 
 
 Doctor Leveridge died of pneumonia on March 16, 1921 after an illness of 
 five days, and his death occurred in the same house on East Broadway in which 
 he had lived for forty years. He was sixty-four years old when he died; he is 
 survived by his daughter, Miss Ethel S. Leveridge.

 Mackenzie Leveridge, was killed in France while serving with the 105th Machine 
 Gun Company. 27th Division, A. E. F.

HARRY MITCHELL SHERMAN 
 
 House Surgeon on the Third Surgical Division from April till October, 1881, 
 A.B., Trinity College. 1877, A.M., 1880, M.D., Coumbia, 1880. 
 
 Doctor Sherman was one of the most prominent of the medical men on the 
 Pacific coast and had practiced in San Francisco since about 1885. His special 
 interest was orthopaedic surgery. He was made Emeritus Orthopaedic Surgeon to 
 the Children's Hospital in San Francisco after thirty-five years of service and 
 Emeritus Surgeon to St. Luke's Hospital in that city after twenty years at that 
 institution. He was a fellow of the American Medical Association and the American 
 College of Surgeons, a member of the American Orthopaedic and the American 
 Surgical Associations and of the California Academy of Medicine. 
 
 His war service at first was on Medical Advisory Board 5 in San Francisco, and

 the rank of Major and sent to Fort Rosecrans, San Diego, as chief of the surgical 
 service in the post hospital, serving about five thousand men in training and the 
 aviators at Rockwell Field. 
 
 The problem of the control of cancer deeply interested Doctor Sherman; he 
 was a very active member of the American Society for the Control of Cancer and 
 Director of that society since its organization. At the time of his death he was 
 one of the vice-presidents and Regional Director for California and Nevada, organ- 
 izing the work and addressing public audiences in principal cities of these two 
 states. 
 
 Doctor Sherman was born in Providence, Rhode Island on November 23, 1854. 
 Before he settled in San Francisco he resided for a short while, first in Providence 
 and then in Cold Spring, New York. He died in San Francisco of broncho-pneu- 
 monia on May 15, 1921, aged sixty-six years. A loyal member of this Society 
 for more than thirty years he attended several reunions and kept in touch with 
 what was going on at Bellevue. 
 
 RICHARD KALISH 
 
 M.D., Bellevue Hospital Medical College, 1875, House Surgeon on the Fourth 
 Surgical Division from April till October, 1877. 
 
 The year after his leaving the hospital. Doctor Kalish was appointed Visiting 
 Surgeon to the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary where he served twelve years. 
 In 1880 he joined the Visiting Staff of Charity (now City) Hospital and after 
 serving thirty-two years he was advanced in 1912 to be Consulting Ophthalmologist ; 
 he was very active, always, on the Medical Board of this hospital. He was Con- 
 sulting Ophthalomologist to St. John's Hospital, Long Island City from 1892, the 
 Knickerbocker (J. Hood Wright) Hospital from 1900 and Sea View from 1911. 
 
 Doctor Kalish joined the Society of Alumni of Bellevue Hospital in 1887 and 
 there was no more loyal, not to say enthusiastic member, than he — always ready 
 and always a very diligent worker on committees. He was elected President of 
 the Society in 1889 and presided at the first Reunion and Banquet in 1890. 
 
 He was a fellow of the American Medical Association, the American College 
 of Surgeons and the New York Academy of Medicine; he served as Assistant Secre- 
 tary to the Academy from 1886 till 1892, and for the next three years he was 
 Recording Secretary. He was a member also of the Northwestern Medical and 
 Surgical, the New York Medico-Surgical societies and the Society of Alumni of 
 City Hospital; of the New York Yacht Club, the Manhasset Bay Yacht Club and 
 the Manhattan Club. 
 
 In 1890 Doctor Kalish created a stir in medical and ophthalmological circles 
 by several papers advocating a method of checking the progress and causing the 
 absorption of immature cataract, a method in which he firmly believed. 
 
 Doctor Kalish was a son of Joseph and Johanna Benas Kalish; he was born 
 in New York City on June 20, 185*, and he died in this city of myocardial disease 
 on his brithday, June 20, 1921, aged sixty-seven years. He never married, and 
 he is survived by a sister, Miss Anna Kalish, who lived with him.

 HENRY HERMAN 
 
 House Physician on the Third Medical Division from October, 1884, till April. 
 1885. A.B., of the College of the City of New York, 1879, and M.D., of the 
 Bellevue Hospital Medical College in 1883. 
 
 The Society of Alumni of Bellevue Hospital was organized with two purposes 
 in view — one scientific, the other social; the spirit of good-fellowship and con- 
 fraternity was to be as prominent in its make-up as scientific dissertation. Doctor 
 Herman was one of the moving spirits in its inception somewhat over a year after 
 he left the hospital. He had not been long on the house staff before he was nick- 
 named "The Judge," presumably because of an air of authority he quizzically 
 assumed and. perhaps, the swarthy zygomaxillary whiskers which, for a short while 
 he cultivated, deepened the illusion. Herman was always within reach whether the 
 discussion was convivial or controversial — he could make a digest of anything. He 
 well knew the Junior's place in the hospital economy and he made it easy for 
 the Junior to keep it for he, himself, had been one. He was open-handed, a 
 shrewd observer and good in diagnosis. So it followed that Doctor Herman was 
 elected the first president of the young organization. He contributed frequently 
 to the scientific programme for a number of years and he always attended the 
 reunions. 
 
 Doctor Herman made no hospital connections and he joined few societies. He 
 was a member of the American Medical Association. He devoted himself to his 
 family practice which was large and very loyal to him, and notwithstanding the fact 
 that for several years he was a sufferer from pulmonary emphysema, he was a busy 
 doctor. 
 
 In July, 1921. shortly after he had gone to his summer home at Long Branch, 
 New Jersey, he developed pneumonia and in three days, on July 12th, he unex- 
 pectedly died. He was sixty-one years old and was born in New York, November 
 15, 1860. He married Miss Elinore Wise who, with his son, Mr. Henry Herman, 
 survives him. 
 
 CHARLES ELIHU QUIMBY 
 
 Doctor Quimby was House Surgeon on the Second (now the First) Surgical 
 Division from April till October, 1879; his Senior Assistant was William C. Gorgas 
 and his Junior, Silas P. Leveridge. He seems to have had no further chirurgical 
 aspirations. When he left the hospital he betook himself to a place called 
 Great Falls, near Somersworth, New Hampshire, and practiced there for two years 
 returning to New York in 1882. Here he remained. In 1884 he became associated 
 with Doctor Alfred L. Loomis, who was then professor of medicine in the New 
 York University, and he served as quizmaster, lecturer, assistant and then adjunct 
 professor, successively, under Professor Loomis until the latter's death in 1895, 
 when Doctor Quimby was made clinical professor of medicine, a position held at 
 his death. He was Attending Physician in Diseases of the Heart and Lungs in 
 the University Dispensary and the Bellevue Out-Patient Department for ten or 
 more years, Assistant Visiting Physician, Second Division, from 1888 till 1895 and 
 Visiting Physician, Second Division, from 1888 till 1895 and Visiting Physician to 
 Charity (City) Hospital since 1895. 
 
 Born in New Ipswich, New Hampshire, on June 21, 1853, Charles E. Quimby 
 was the elder son of Elihu Thayer Quimby and Nancy A. (Cutler) Quimby. His 
 father was principal of the Appleton Academy in that town and young Quimby was 
 prepared for college there and, his father having been appointed professor of 
 mathematics at Dartmouth College, in private schools in Hanover, and at the Norwich 
 Academy. 
 
 Doctor Quimby graduated in arts in 1874 at Dartmouth, and went to Gardner. 
 Massachusetts, as principal of the high school. He began the study of medicine 
 in Hanover, N. H., under Doctor A. B. Crosby, took his A.M. in 1877 and in 1878 
 came to New York to complete his medical course at New York University receiving 
 his diploma the same year. 
 
 He married in 1881 Mi99 Julia M. Cobb of Hanover. They had two children, 
 Miss Aldana Ripley Quimby and Miss Dorothy Marian Quimby, who with their 
 
 82 
 
Obituary 
 
 mother survive him. He died in New York of cerebral hemorrhage on November 6, 
 1921, aged sixty-eight years. 
 
 Doctor Quimby joined this Society in 1895 and was elected president in 1899. 
 His precise, positive manner of speaking and his respect for the rules of logic, 
 his appeals for the application of pure science were entertaining features of his 
 papers. An example of his style is the following from a thesis he presented to 
 the Society in 1899 on "Logical Analysis in Therapeutics" — "My plea, then, is not 
 for more knowledge, but simply for a more scientific and exhaustive analysis of 
 the facts in hand, to the end that our clinical therapeutics may keep pace, non 
 de nomine, sed de facto, with abstract scientific investigation, and thereby un- 
 qualifiedly merit that laurel crown which should be reserved for and bestowed 
 only upon manifest power to control disease and relieve suffering." His liking 
 for physics was perhaps a reason why he was attracted so much by the pneumatic 
 cabinet; he was an ardent advocate of the cabinet in the "treatment of thoracic 
 diseases" and the arrest of pulmonary haemorrhage. 
 
 He was a member of the American Medical and the American Climatological 
 Associations and president of the latter in 1909; he was also a member of the New 
 York Academy of Medicine, the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity and club and the 
 New York University Club and a trustee of the Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital 
 of Hanover, New Hampshire.

 (In this room and at this time Bellevue Hospital had its 
 beginning. Doctor John Van Beuren, a graduate of the 
 University of Leyden, had charge of the sick in the infirmary 
 at an annual salary of £100. He served till 1755.)

 1766 A new building was added as an enlargement of the poor- 
 house.

 acres adjoining on the north the Belle Vue Hospital place, 
 for $22,494.50. 
 
 Corner stone laid by Mayor De Witt Clinton on July

 These buildings were situated, one on the south side of 
 28th Street and the other on the north side of 26th Street 
 just west of First Avenue, with the Workhouse and the 
 penitentiary buildings between them; the main building just

THOSE WHO DIED WHILE ON 
 DUTY IN THE HOSPITAL 
 
Of all infectious diseases it is typhus fever that has 
 caused the most havoc among the house staff in Bellevue 
 and at a time when the nature of the causes of these in- 
 fections was unknown or how the infection spread it de- 
 manded heroism of the highest order to live there with it. 
 
 The first epidemic appeared in the hospital in 1818 
 but no officer succumbed to it. Early in 1825 typhus 
 fever appeared again and in the month of April a com- 
 mittee was sent by the Common Council to report on the 
 conditions prevailing in the hospital. The young house 
 physician, then ill with the disease, left his bed to receive 
 the committee at the door — the next day but one he died 
 of typhus. This young man was Doctor Belden, the first 
 to give up his life. 
 
 "Not once or twice in our (old Bellevue) story 
 The path of duty was the way to glory."

 The Year 1915 
 
 PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS 
 
 By James Sears Waterman 
 
 Memrers of the Bellevue Alumni and Guests: 
 
 The honor of being the President of such a society as that of the 
 Bellevue Alumni is one which I deeply appreciate; the responsibility 
 which it involves I keenly feel, but when that responsibility is 
 coupled with succession to a position so splendidly filled by our 
 much loved Stewart, it becomes not only a responsibility but an 
 embarrassment. 
 
 Gentlemen, twenty-five years ago I entered Bellevue Hospital as 
 an interne, and this is my jubilee. 
 
 In passing, I may say that we internes thought we were splendid 
 fellows, no matter what may have been the opinion of the Visiting 
 Staff; at any rate, we were a happy, care-free lot in those days, 
 "When time was yet our vassal, and life's jest was still unstale, 
 and no man knew what dreams were ours, as we tramped the road 
 to anywhere, the magic road to anywhere, such dear dim, years ago." 
 
 Some of the old crowd are in New York, and we are able to see 
 one another here if no where else; some have found their fields 
 of activity in nearby states; some have turned to other callings, 
 and some have passed to the great beyond. 
 
 The past twenty-five years are said to have been the most extra- 
 ordinary in the history of our race, and have brought wonderful 
 changes to us in medicine, as in other things, and have stirred the 
 deep currents of life for all of us. 
 
 In the last analysis, all life that is significant, that is pregnant 
 with meaning, is inspired by that great love of mankind which 
 finds its outlet in service to others. 
 
 When Croesus, after exhibiting his treasure to Solon, asked him 
 if he had ever known a happier man than he, Solon replied, in 
 substance, that he had known several men that he thought had 
 greater cause for happiness, because they had spent or given their 
 lives in the service of others. 
 
 It is just those words "service to others," that have come ringing 
 down the ages, and which have found such wonderful expression 
 in medicine today, and in the succor, without a parallel in history, 
 
 110 
 
<W&t $ear 1915 
 
 given by America to those so sorely stricken by the Great War. 
 
 Two thousand years ago, Christ by His divine touch, sanctified 
 and gave rare dignity to the healing art. 
 
 The practice of medicine should be a vocation, not an avocation, 
 and such we find it among the majority of our profession. A high 
 ideal, an unselfish interest in the welfare of man, a scientific interest 
 in unsolved problems, a willingness to work hard with no reward 
 in sight save an increase in knowledge and ability to help those 
 needing help, an earnest desire to better general health condtiions, 
 a broad humanity, mark the physician of today and gives to the 
 practice of medicine a character of which we may well be proud. 
 
 With such a working capital, is it a matter of wonder that in the 
 passage of the years we have achieved such results as we are see- 
 ing now in this twentieth century, in the scientific and humanitarian 
 development of our work? 
 
 Not only is every large city rich in its well-equipped hospitals 
 and splendid laboratories, but almost every town of moderate size 
 can boast of its own hospital and laboratory where up-to-date 
 methods of diagnosis and treatment can be carried out. 
 
 Medical education has been placed upon a far higher plane than 
 formerly. Post-graduate schools have been founded where any 
 branch of special work may be followed as well as in the clinics 
 of Europe. 
 
 Great foundations with unlimited means have been established 
 where advanced study of disease, its cause and its cure is carried 
 on with unsurpassed laboratory facilities, aiming at results unattain- 
 able except by the expenditure of large sums of money and the 
 entire time of a corps of scientific workers rendered independent 
 of monetary cares by sufficient salaries- 
 
 Our water supplies are protected from contamination, epidemics 
 are controlled, transmissible diseases are met at quarantine and 
 denied admission and preventive medicine has developed into a 
 great department of its own. Our Department of Health furnishes 
 to all who ask, supplies of vaccine antitoxins and serums without 
 charge, or at a minimum price, making it possible for the poorest 
 patient to obtain all necessary care. 
 
 The great field of vaccines, antitoxins and serums is being culti- 
 vated until it looks as though all the micro-organisms would be 
 chained to our chariot wheels, or better, pressed into service and 
 compelled even in death to war against their fellows. Immunization 
 is successfully practised against smallpox, diphtheria, tetanus, cholera 
 and typhoid fever. To such an extent has this been introduced, 
 that from Osier in England and from German sources, we learn 
 that the latter diseases have been but little in evidence among the 
 soldiers in the armies now at war. 
 
 May we not also expect similar methods for the immunization 
 of our young people against those scourges of childhood, measles, 
 scarlet fever and whooping cough? When one realizes that before 
 
 111 
 
W&z gear 1915 
 
 Jenner's day the adult population of London consisted of those 
 who had survived an attack of smallpox in their childhood, it seems 
 easily possible. 
 
 The sources and carriers of yellow fever, malaria, typhoid fever, 
 typhus, dysentery, sleeping-sickness and bubonic plague have been 
 discovered and epidemics of those diseases controlled. Plague spots, 
 like the Isthmus of Panama, have been transformed into something 
 resembling health resorts where the death rate is unbelievably low. 
 
 The hook-worm has been followed to its lair and the zone of 
 its habitat, reaching around the world, has been attacked with such 
 success that whole districts have been converted from a condition 
 of indolent shiftlessness into communities of energetic men and 
 women able and anxious to do their part in the world's work. In- 
 cessant warfare is being waged against the Great White Plague 
 with encouraging results. 
 
 Examinations of the blood, twenty-five years ago, were limited 
 ordinarily to a study of the anaemias, malarias and filarias, while 
 today the surgeon operates from the blood count, the internist 
 makes an early diagnosis of a pneumonia in the same way. Typhoid 
 fever has its Widal test, the Wasserman reaction clears up an other- 
 wise obscure case, the diagnosis of early tuberculosis is coming into 
 line from the same study, and so the list rolls up from a field 
 before so limited. Empiricism, that reproach of medical practice, 
 is fast giving place to methods of treatment based on accurate 
 knowledge, and the old order gives way to the new. 
 
 Diagnostic metheds undreamed of in our wildest nights of the 
 imagination have become a common place and the roentgen rays 
 search everything but the soul, revealing infected accessory sinuses, 
 diseases of the chest, abdominal abnormalities, stones in the bladder, 
 kidney and ureter, and now even in the gall-bladder. The osseous 
 system can be read like a book and all may study their joint and 
 fracture cases. 
 
 Many so-called rheumatic conditions are recognized as due to 
 infections, and foci are sought in mouth, nose, throat, ear or intestine. 
 
 New diseases and the significance of certain conditions are being 
 recognized and arterio-sclerosis and hypertension are having their 
 day. Incidentally with a new understanding of food values, every- 
 body is being placed on a diet- 
 
 The functions of the ductless glands are becoming known and 
 we are having our experiences with the extracts of the pituitary, the 
 thyroid, the adrenals and other glands- 
 New remedies are being produced almost daily; "606" is having 
 its innings, and now we have "twilight sleep." Specifics are being 
 developed and diphtheia goes down before its antitoxin; the gonor- 
 rheal joint is no longer treated as a rheumatic affair but with its 
 specific vaccine, while cerebro-spinal meningitis, tetanus and rabies 
 have shown their own large percentage of cures. The bronchoscope, 
 oesophagoscope, gastroscope and cystoscope have made possible direct 
 
 112 
 
7Z%t $tat 1915 
 
 examination and treatment of internal organs hitherto inaccessible. 
 
 The administration of general anaesthesia has become such an im- 
 potent department that nearly all hospitals have their corps of 
 specialists in the administration of anaesthetics. The many local 
 anaesthetics have rendered the sufferings, horrors and dangers of so- 
 called minor surgical operations things of the past, while their 
 field has been extended to include the spinal anaesthesia and its 
 resultant blessings to those for whom a general anaesthetic is con- 
 traindicated. 
 
 Anoci-association, one of the great recent important contributions 
 to surgery, blocking the nerve impulses and so preventing post- 
 operative shock, has been received with enthusiasm by an appre- 
 ciative profession. Of its distinguished author who has recently 
 sailed for Europe and the seat of war, an editorial in a leading 
 daily paper says: "Among the losses which the European war is 
 imposing upon the United States must be counted, and not as a 
 small one, the deprivation which the country suffers by the absence 
 from it, for a considerable period of a man like Dr. George W. 
 Crile of Cleveland." 
 
 Team work has been developed, and we see the specialist working 
 with the surgeon, the internist and general practitioner working 
 toward the common goal of accurate diagnosis and correct treatment. 
 The practice of medicine ceasing to be a one-man job, a sort of 
 jack-of-all-trades proposition, but each man offering of his best, 
 helping to arrive at a result otherwise unattainable. 
 
 In the realm of surgery such rapid strides have been made, such 
 a keen interest has been created, that this may well be called the 
 "age of surgery." With a scalpel in one hand and a hypodermic 
 needle in the other, it has been said that the surgeon is driving his 
 brother, the general practitioner, who claims that he is bearing the 
 burden and heat of the day, to the wall. 
 
 And so we find a pronounced tendency among many of the young 
 men, to yield to the more dramatic and remunerative attractions of 
 the operating room, forgetting or ignoring the fact that the best 
 foundation for the specialist is laid in acquiring an intimate knowl- 
 edge of diseases, only to be gained by a wide experience in general 
 practice. 
 
 As to our future, who shall prophesy? Our young men have 
 heard the cry of the "Red Gods" calling them, and know 
 "there is something lost behind the ranges," and they are seeking 
 it over there in the laboratory, hospital and clinic. 
 
 About their findings they will tell us in the coming year, and we 
 shall hope for large dividends from the accumulated stores of wis- 
 dom gathered by the older men, for we expect to fill our programs 
 full to overflowing with the rich results of all this work and study. 
 
 From the discovery of vaccination against smallpox by Jenner, it 
 is a far cry to a Pasteur, a Lister and the commencement of the 
 present development of our knowledge of the causes of disease 
 
 113 
 
<&t)t grat 1915 
 
 So recently have these live factors of many diseases been ascertained 
 that it is amazing that already, vaccines, serums and specifics have 
 been developed to control them- 
 
 The conviction is forced upon us that the inspiration is superhuman 
 which has produced results so beneficent. 
 
 In all humanity we may say that we are walking with "the gods," 
 and cry with Kipling, 
 
 God of our fathers, be with us yet 
 Lest we forget . . .

 (Owing to an accident Dr. Wilson was unable to deliver his address at the January 
 
 meeting.) 
 
 Tothe Members of the Society of Alumni of Bellevue Hospital: 
 
 The By-Laws of this society provide that the President shall 
 deliver an address at the time of his inauguration, and custom has 
 made it almost obligatory to commence the address with an ex- 
 pression of thanks for the high honor that has been conferred 
 upon him in his election. I knew that this was a great honor and 
 that a great responsibility accompanied it when you elected me, 
 but the greatness of the honor conferred and the magnitude of 
 the responsibility incurred was not appreciated until I began an 
 analysis of the membership of this society and then I knew for 
 the first time, although I have been a member for twenty-three 
 years, what a wonderful influence it can and does exert in the 
 advancement of scientific medicine. 
 
 I assume that most of us when we first entered college made up 
 our minds to try to get on the house staff of Bellevue Hospital. 
 This was a goal worthy of our best endeavor. Besides being the 
 largest hospital in New York city, with the greatest diversity of 
 medical and surgical cases, it was also the seat of the greatest 
 number of clinics and its visiting staff represented teachers from 
 all the medical colleges in the city. To gain a place in this hospital 
 then, meant that opportunity would be offered to the continued 
 study of our chosen profession, under the stimulus of a friendly 
 rivalry of division against division, for good results and an attempt 
 to make the best showing possible. Our point of view widened. 
 We no longer took as gospel the teachings of our own school. We 
 sat at the feet of many teachers of many schools and marveled that 
 we once had believed that the teachings and teachers in ours were 
 infallible. 
 
 We soon found that this old Hospital was surrounded with tra- 
 ditions, some good, the most good, some bad, and to down the bad 
 ones was more difficult than the competitive examinations that had 
 gained us our places. As Juniors and Seniors we had many humili- 
 
 119 
 
<®bc $tai 1916 
 
 ating trials, our work was hard, our hours long, our encouragement 
 little, except for the opportunity of learning, and this was limitless- 
 And we did learn. We had to. Failure in this respect would have 
 meant, not dismissal but something infinitely worse, the loss of 
 respect of our colleagues and teachers, worse still our own self 
 respect. 
 
 Our self-esteem blossomed when we became House and accord- 
 ing to tradition and teaching we became self-confident and fearless, 
 and that is why we are what we are. Bellevue Confidence backed 
 by Bellevue Knowledge has never had to fear the final outcome 
 in the fight of life. Self-esteem so evident in a House was soon 
 rubbed down to personal responsibility, when it came in contact 
 with the rough edges of the work of acquiring a practice. 
 
 Perhaps the greatest thing we learned in Bellevue was to love it. 
 To love every stick and stone in the old building, to love its tradition, 
 its opportunities, its staff of teachers unequaled in erudition in the 
 medical profession in America. And out of this love sprang this 
 society, started by young men, recent graduates, but soon its swell- 
 ing membership took in for the same love those very teachers and 
 preceptors upon whom we used to look with such awe. 
 
 What is this society and why does it exist? 
 
 The constitution says: First, "The cultivation and advancement 
 of medicine and surgery." 
 
 Second, "The promotion of social intercourse among its members." 
 
 Let us consider the second object first. Once a month we meet 
 together. Old staffs renew pledges of friendship, live over old 
 traditions, welcome new staffs and keep alive loyalty and love for 
 our alma mater that I have never seen equaled in any society 
 of any kind. May the good old traditions live for ever and may 
 the New Bellevue accept them as a precious legacy to be jealously 
 treasured as the greatest inheritance it can hand down to the future 
 generations of staffs that will graduate from its halls and wards. 
 
 How has this society complied with its first object? A long list 
 of valuable contributions to medical literature is its written evidence 
 of promise fulfilled. As long a list of illustrious men in modern 
 medicine is its personal contribution to medical science. 
 
 Who made the Panama Canal possible after the failure of the 
 renowned de Lesseps? Our Congress? No! Our Engineers? No! 
 Our Workmen? No! Our Money? No! The earnest, faithful, 
 conscientious, efficient work of a member of this society overcame 
 insanitary conditions that made de Lesseps fail and made it possible 
 that the acts of Congress could be carried out and the engineers 
 prosecute the greatest work of its kind that the world has ever 
 known. 
 
 Have its members made any impress on medical education? 
 
 The names of the deans of the Medical Departments of Columbia 
 and Cornell universities and the acting dean of the New York 
 University are on its roster. The teaching staffs of the universities 
 
 120 
 
W$t Wtat 1916 
 
 and hospitals of this and other cities number many of our members 
 among them- 
 
 Have we contributed our share to the care of public health? 
 
 The State Commissioner of Health of New York and the Com- 
 missioner and President of the Board of Health of New York City 
 are our members. Very many of our members hold important 
 positions in state and municipal health departments. 
 
 Do we assume the burdens of hospital work that our training 
 demands we should? 
 
 The consulting physicians of forty-seven hospitals are members 
 of this society. To enumerate them would sound like reading a 
 list of the hospitals in New York. Seventy hospitals have as at- 
 tending physicians active members of the society and our non- 
 resident members are visiting physicians to twenty-seven more. 
 
 Do we endorse scientific medicine by aligning ourselves with the 
 progressive societies that tend to shape medical laws and rules of 
 conduct? 
 
 Most of our members are members of the county and slate medical 
 societies in the commonwealths in which they live. One hundred 
 and fifty are members of the American Medical Association. Ninety- 
 eight are members of the New York Academy of Medicine. Twenty- 
 nine are Fellows of the Association of Clinical Surgeons. Our 
 membership in these societies that so greatly influence the trend 
 of modern medicine in America is proof posititve of our position 
 in the advancement of medical science. 
 
 In addition to the above mentioned medical organizations our 
 members are affiliated with societies that represent, just as our 
 membership does, almost every phase of medical work. 
 
 What a powerful organization! 
 
 And what a power for good such an organization can exert in 
 the medical world. 
 
 Fortunately perhaps for us, our constitution limits our activities 
 to the advancement of medicine and surgery and the promotion of 
 social intercourse among our members. We are not a political or- 
 ganization, we are not a business organization, and neither the 
 intrigues of the first nor the worries of the latter ever enter into 
 our considerations. 
 
 We are essentially a social organization, a sort of a brotherhood, 
 and here lies our greatest obligation and our greatest opportunity 
 to fulfill the provisions of our constitution. 
 
 We are, or should be, a help-one-another society, not by organized 
 labor methods, but more after the style of let not your right hand 
 know what your left hand doeth. And those to be helped are our 
 young members. Their advancement means that the first object 
 of our existence will be automatically assured, and the means of 
 its accomplishment is through our observation of the second.

 The Year 1917 
 
 PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS 
 
 January 3, 1917 
 
 By Samuel Albertus Brown 
 
 Gentlemen: 
 
 I wish to express my appreciation of the honor which has been 
 conferred upon me in electing me as your President for the ensuing 
 year, and I can assure you that every effort will be exerted to con- 
 tinue the success and development of the society and to provide 
 for the members papers which will be both entertaining, stimulating 
 and instructive, and if I am half as successful as my predecessor, 
 Dr. Wilson, I shall be delighted. 
 
 This success cannot be obtained without the co-operation of every 
 member of the society, as it is impossible otherwise for your presi- 
 dent and officers to accomplish the results which the strength and 
 power of the society warrant. Individually we are not strong, but 
 collectively we are extremely so, and I would therefore ask the 
 aid of every member and would appreciate suggestions regarding 
 the program and other topics of interest which should be brought 
 before you. 
 
 There are many members of the society proficient in research 
 work and interesting clinical lines with whom the officers are not 
 familiar, and suggestions on the part of any member will be gladly 
 received and will immediately result in our getting in touch with 
 men who are doing this work. In this way we can obtain the best 
 that there is in the city for presentation at our meetings. 
 
 If you will look over the list of members of this society you will 
 be struck with the illustrious names. As a matter of fact, it could 
 be very creditably incorporated entire in the history of medicine in 
 this large city. My only regret is that we have so many members 
 who do not take an active interest in the affairs of the society. With 
 a membership of 350 it would seem that we should enjoy the pres- 
 ence of a large number at the monthly meetings. It is particularly 
 noticeable that many of the older members do not attend with any 
 regularity, and I am at a loss to account for this condition. In 
 recent years we have endeavored to stimulate the writing and 
 
 126 
 
W&t gear 1917 
 
 presentation of papers among the younger members of the society, 
 and this has been done by limiting, to a great extent, the papers 
 to our own membership. If it is for this reason that many members 
 do not attend, then it is a serious question whether the principle 
 is a good one. In other words, if the members of the society desire 
 a more active interest from outsiders, or if the papers presented 
 from outsiders would be of greater interest, then, of course, it would 
 be advisable to make this change, or at least, to take under serious 
 consideration the advisability of so doing. But it is my belief that 
 the principle now in force is the proper one, as we have in our 
 membership a formidable number of members who are in a position 
 to supply us with much stimulating scientific data, and although 
 I shall not feel restricted in this matter, and shall probably ask 
 for certain papers outside the society, I shall continue to endeavor 
 to encourage papers from within, and in this must ask for the 
 earnest support of the members. 
 
 It is to be hoped that within the coming year more of the internes 
 in the hospital will compete for the prizes offered by this society, 
 and it would probably be advisable to call the attention of the 
 internes to the conditions under which the prizes are awarded 
 
 The changes in the hospital present a matter which is of great 
 concern to us, as it will probably be necessary to modify that part 
 of the constitution and by-laws regarding eligibility to membership. 
 
 At the present time we provide for five classes of membership: 
 (1) active members; (2) associate members; (3) emeritus mem- 
 bers; (4) permanent associate members; (5) honorary members. 
 In addition to this, special provision has been made for the ex- 
 terne. Section II provides that the active members shall be selected 
 from the ex-house physicians, surgeons and gynecologists in Belle- 
 vue Hospital. 
 
 Under the new plan several classes of internes will be provided: 
 first, the resident. The resident will be selected from men who 
 have previously completed at least two years of hospital work, not 
 necessarily in Bellevue Hospital. Second, another group will be 
 appointed as internes for a period of one year, who may never 
 become house physician, surgeon or gynaecologist. Third, in addi- 
 tion to these, the special services, such as gynaecology, genito-urinary, 
 surgery, ear, nose and throat, obstetrics, neurology, etc., will be 
 provided with special staffs, and these appointees will be required 
 to have had previous experience in hospitals. It is probable that 
 most of these men will be selected from the internes in Bellevue 
 Hospital, especially the one year men, but a certain proportion may 
 come from hospitals other than Bellevue. 
 
 All of the above classes would necessarily require special pro- 
 vision if it was deemed desirable to admit them to membership in 
 this society, but no recommendation can be made in this matter at 
 the present time owing to the fact that the plans are still somewhat 
 uncertain, and even if adopted it would probably be advisable to 
 
 127 
 
t£J)e $ear 1917 
 
 wait until they had been thoroughly tried out before deciding upon 
 the changes necessary to cover the new conditions. 
 
 I am presenting this matter to you so that you may give it your 
 careful consideration and be in a position to advise us later as to 
 your wsihes in this matter. 
 
 Of late you have probably noticed that we have been starting 
 our meetings at a later period in the evening; that while the notice 
 called for the meeting to begin at 8.30 p.m., it is frequently 9 o'clock 
 before the papers are presented- This is due to the lateness of 
 attendance, and I am going to ask you to help me in this matter 
 by being present promptly at 8.30 so that the meeting can be 
 called to order- In this way it will be possible for us all to return 
 to our homes at a much more seemly hour than in the past. 
 
 You will probably recall that in the county medical society meet- 
 ings, the executive session is held before the scientific, and this 
 is one possibility to be considered in this connection, but I do 
 not think that this is sufficiently advantageous to modify our pro- 
 cedure, as it will simply require that the members be present ten 
 or fifteen minutes earlier than has been customary recently. 
 
 At the beginning of the new year it will be appropriate for us 
 to consider for a moment those things for which we should be grate- 
 ful, and possibly the first among them is the fact that we have 
 been privileged to enjoy and develop our lives both socially and 
 scientifically without the terrible penalty exacted from our neighbors 
 in Europe. 
 
 We should also be thankful that there has been at least one haven 
 for these poor, desolate people. 
 
 And of special interest to us, we should be delighted with the 
 progress in the development of Bellevue Hospital; the increasing 
 usefulness as evidenced by the opening of the surgical pavilions 
 and the re-arrangements of the services. We are greatly indebted 
 to the city administration and to the Board of Trustees for their 
 encouragement and aid in this matter. I am sure that we are all 
 looking forward to the time when Bellevue Hospital will represent 
 the most advanced point of scientific instruction and occupy the 
 most useful position in the teaching of medicine of any institution 
 in the country. 
 
 There is no reason why this should not be attained, with its 
 prestige, the physical development, the liberal support of the city, 
 the number of patients and a hospital staff such as we now have, 
 rendering it not only a possibility but an absolute certainty that 
 in the future, as in the past, Bellevue Hospital will be pre-eminently 
 a teaching institution as well as a hospital in which the citizens of 
 New York will find relief and care in their times of medical and 
 surgical need. 
 
 In the discussion of public affairs recently we frequently hear 
 suggestions presented that as a race the men are becoming more 
 effeminate and that with the accumulation of wealth our people 
 
 128 
 
'fttje m*t 1917 
 
 are becoming more self-indulgent. This is a disturbing thought, 
 and I am sure one that has occurred to most of us. Whether this 
 is relatively evidenced because women are more assertive, it is not 
 within my province to say. If this is the tendency of the times, 
 are we in any way responsible for its accentuation? It has some- 
 times occurred to me that in our anxiety and protective interest in 
 our patients that we may be encouraging people to expect un- 
 reasonable relief and freedom from pain. This may be the result 
 of the development of narcotics, and sedatives and the knowledge 
 which the laity has acquired on this subject. It is positive that as 
 a race we are not nearly as willing to face pain with composure 
 as were our forefathers in the early days of this country. If we. 
 as a profession, are encouraging this attitude, we should carefully 
 consider its consequences, as we are drifting and slumbering in a 
 security which many well-posted men believe to be insecure, and 
 it may be necessary for us to receive a sudden shock before our 
 vitality can be determined. 
 
 One of the evidences that some of our public men are not entirely 
 satisfied with the situation is the fact that the deans of the medical 
 schools have been asked to meet the Secretary of War in con- 
 ference, to determine whether some instruction in Military Surgery 
 and Hygiene could be introduced into the curriculum of the colleges 
 with benefit to the students, so that in time of war or threatened 
 war we would have a group of medical men who would at least 
 understand the elements of military requirements and could be 
 mobilized rapidly- With this knowledge it would be possible for 
 them to take up their work in the field much more intelligently. 
 This is one of the educational matters to be determined after more 
 careful consideration-

 The Year 1920 
 PRESIDENTS ADDRESS 
 
 January 7, 1920 
 By Charles Blount Slade 
 
 Fellow Alumni and Guests: 
 
 On many occasions in the past twenty years, my thoughts have 
 pictured in a quite impersonal way, the qualities one should bring 
 to this office. Now, I am receiving this honor and accepting this 
 responsibility with honest doubt as to whether I possess any of 
 those qualities which my predecessors had in such full measure. 
 
 In reality I know that this society, with its composite of knowl- 
 edge, and fraternal co-operation in a determination to advance 
 renders the temporary occupant of this chair relatively unimportant. 
 This gives me courage. And whatever capacity I have, I humbly 
 bind myself to render it in an effort to make our 1920 meetings 
 mutually beneficial and pleasant. 
 
 Let us all keep in mind the ideals and traditions of Bellevue's 
 alumni, which have brought us to a high postion of respect and 
 dignity. If I can but help to maintain this, I will be fully satisfied. 
 
 We have heard a great deal of "team work" in the last five years. 
 I am going to ask each and every one of you to do your share 
 along this line. Please remember that every sincere idea that any 
 one of you may have is wanted. I appeal particularly to those of 
 you who are called the younger members. I do not refer to, nor 
 am I to be lead into a discussion of our relative ages. That would 
 not be fair or relevant. Neither can a man's age be guessed by 
 appearances — certainly not by the color of his hair. 
 
 To our more recent graduates and members, I wish to say that 
 here it is of no consequence whether a man has been out of the 
 hospital one, twenty, or forty years. It is of a great deal of con- 
 sequence to all of us, what any member may think or know concern- 
 ing medicine and surgery and other matters affecting this society. 
 We want all of your honest opinions, whether constructive or de- 
 structive, on every topic discussed. Some of the best ideas and 
 
 143 
 
TO* gear 1920 
 
 observations come to us in our early years of practice. So, I beg 
 of you to lay aside the natural reticence of youth, and let us all 
 have the benefit of your opinions. 
 
 Fortunately most of our papers are interesting and invite discus- 
 sion. They are usually good and justify compliment. But of all 
 of you, I wish to ask that you do not confine your remarks in dis- 
 cussions to compliments. Remember, it is criticism — adverse criti- 
 cism, and disagreement that make us think and advance our knowl- 
 edge. The more we combat each other here, the better fitted we 
 will be to combat disease outside. Nothing worth while was ever 
 gained without a fight. The more you fight here, within parlia- 
 mentary bounds, the better for our patients, and after all, it is 
 for them that we are here. 
 
 You have all received a copy of the general scientific program 
 for this year. Your Committee on Science has thought it best to 
 plan thus in advance, so that every one who reads a paper can 
 have ample time in which to prepare it to his entire satisfaction. 
 Several papers have already been accepted for most of the year's 
 meetings, but as no paper will consume more than fifteen or twenty 
 minutes to read, there is space under each heading for two more. 
 Those who have ideas or experiences, which they desire to bring 
 before the society, are invited to reserve their time and submit the 
 title of their paper to the Committee on Science or the Secretary 
 as soon as possible. It is desired that, as soon as a paper is ac- 
 cepted, the author invite two or three men to discuss it, and forward 
 their names to the Secretary. 
 
 Gentlemen: with these few words I throw myself upon your 
 mercy.

 PRESIDENTS ADDRESS 
 
 January 5, 1921 
 
 By Eben Foskett 
 
 To the Members and Guests of the Society of Alumni of 
 Bellevue Hospital: 
 
 I appreciate the honor you have conferred on me in electing me 
 President of this society so representative in its membership of 
 what Bellevue Hospital has done for its graduates- 
 
 If I can do as well as our retiring president I shall feel that my 
 administration has been a success. With the aid of our experienced, 
 energetic and very expressive Secretary, possibly I can keep up 
 the record. 
 
 But whatever success comes to me as President can only come 
 from the support accorded by the members in doing the work of 
 the Society- 
 
 This is a social and scientific society. On the scientific side 
 I hope to have papers from young members as well as those of 
 longer experience. 
 
 I hope that the internes will report some of their original in- 
 vestigations on medical subjects as candidates for the two one 
 hundred dollar prizes offered each year by this society for original 
 work. I hope the various visitings will bring this to the attention 
 of the internes. 
 
 As to the social side of the society I feel that it is a privilege 
 for us to meet together and dine together. This keeps alive that 
 loyalty to Bellevue Hospital that has ever characterized its grad- 
 uates. Coming from different colleges, working together in the 
 hospital for two years, let us ever stand together as its Alumni 
 and work for its up-building. 
 
 History of Bellevue Hospital 
 
 I wish to speak to-night of Bellevue Hospital itself. It seems 
 to me the younger members are not familiar with its history and 
 older members are not all posted on the great physical changes 
 in methods of administration and of teaching. 
 
 149 
 
<H§t geac 1921 
 
 The history of Bellevue is replete with interest and we are all 
 indebted to Dr. Robert J. Carlisle, who put this in book form in 
 1892 and who has served as our Historian ever since. 
 
 Is it known to the younger men that Bellevue Hospital is the 
 oldest hospital in the city? It was first opened in 1736 as an 
 Alms House, Workhouse and Hospital, the site at that time being 
 that of the present New York City Hall- The contract price of 
 this building was eighty pounds in money and fifty gallons of rum. 
 Dr. John Van Beuren was the first physician in charge and since 
 that time the Van Beuren family has furnished many surgeons to 
 the profession of the city- 
 Do they know that at Bellevue Hospital the first Nurses' Training 
 School in this country was established in 1873? 
 
 Do they know that the first hospital ambulance system in the 
 
 world was established in 1869 at Bellevue Hospital by Col. Edward 
 
 B. Dalton, a former interne and an army officer of the Civil War? 
 
 The Workhouse and Hospital was removed to the north side of 
 
 Chambers Street in 1796. 
 
 The first ground at the present site was purchased in 1794. Belle 
 View Place was purchased and consisted of the property from the 
 River to First Avenue from 23rd to 26th Street. This was later 
 occupied as a yellow fever hospital. Belle View was two words 
 then and the lawyer in drawing the deed gave it as one, and spelled 
 it as used at present, hence the name. 
 
 From 1811 to 1819 the site from the River to Second Avenue and 
 from 26th to 28th Streets was purchased in three different lots 
 for about $30,000. 
 
 The Workhouse, Almshouse and Hospital were removed here 
 to new buildings in 1816. Two hundred patients were in the 
 Hospital the next year and the staff was reorganized with two 
 visiting surgeons, two visiting physicians and two internes. 
 
 In 1836 the prisoners were removed to another location; in 1839 
 the insane were removed to BlackwelFs Island; in 1847 the alms- 
 house was removed to Blackwell's Island, and from this time on 
 Bellevue has been purely a hospital for the sick. 
 
 From 1836 to 1848 the Hospital was the prey of the city politicians 
 and the standard of the Hospital was at a low ebb. But little care 
 was given the patients and all supplies were lacking. These poli- 
 ticians caused the sale at auction of all the Hospital grounds except 
 that from 26th to 28th Street and First Avenue to the river. The 
 papers of the city dubbed these politicians "The Forty Thieves", 
 because of this act- 
 In 1847 Dr. James R. Wood came upon the scene- He was thirty- 
 five years old, a great medical man and a finished politician. His 
 influence with the city officials caused a great improvement in the 
 care of the patients and the furnishing of supplies. "Jimmy Wood," 
 as he was called affectionately by his students, became an eminent 
 and beloved surgeon, remembered by some of my hearers to-night.

 He is the only medical politician in Bellevue's history of whom it 
 has ever been said "he was a great surgeon." 
 
 The New Bellevue 
 
 Eighteen years ago a Board of Trustees was appointed and the 
 Charity Department of the city ceased to have control of Bellevue, 
 Gouverneur, Fordham and Harlem Hospitals. 
 
 Following this a comprehensive plan was evolved for a new and 
 greater Bellevue. 
 
 The block north of 26th Street was purchased, the street closed, 
 and a pathological building, power plant and laundry were erected 
 on the site. Also on the river front Pavilions A and B were erected, 
 and later Pavilions I and K, L and M on the north side. 
 
 The Pathological Building is well equipped. In connection with 
 this, a library of medical works and current medical magazines 
 was established for the use of the House Staff. Three resident 
 pathologists are employed, a physiological chemist and an assistant, 
 fourteen pathological internes and twelve technicians. 
 
 At present plans have been completed for Pavilions F and G 
 to be placed south of Pavilions I and K. Present conditions in 
 the building trade caused a bid of $4,000,000 to be placed on plans 
 figured by the architect to cost $1,750,000. The result is the com- 
 plete abandonment of building for the present. 
 
 Plans are also being made for a pavilion at 26th Street and First 
 Avenue, part of which will be used as on out-patient department, 
 but there is no immediate prospect of more building and we will 
 have to wait again for that out-patient department that has been 
 hoped for so long- 
 
 This is a matter of great regret for the forty thousand neAv cases 
 per year treated in the dispensary furnish a wealth of material for 
 the instruction of medical students, but the crowded condition in- 
 terferes with its utilization except in a slight degree- 
 
 Management of the Hospital 
 
 The Board of Trustees, appointed by the Mayor, does most of 
 the actual business management and also passes on the nominations 
 from the colleges of the visiting and house staff. 
 
 The Board at present is made up of Dr. John W. Brannan, Chair- 
 man, John G. O'Keeffe, James A. Farley, Henry C. Wright, Isidore 
 Weinberger, Mrs. Julia Lissberger, Dr. John W. Perilli, Bird S. 
 Coler, ex-officio. All serve without pay. 
 
 The Medical Board of other days has ceased to function. 
 
 An Executive Committee of eight members, two from each of 
 the four chief divisions of the Hospital, attends to the medical 
 questions that arise and confers wth the Trustees on such questions 
 as need adjusting.

 Visiting Staff of the Hospital 
 
 The visiting staff of the Hospital is made up of a Director of the 
 Service on each Division, Visitings, Assistant Visitings and Adjunct 
 Assistant Visitings. the latter also having charge of the class in 
 the Out Patient Department- 
 There are: 44 full Visitings, 55 Assistant Visitings, 63 Adjunct 
 Assistant Visitings; a total of 162 men on the Visiting Staff. 
 
 In theory the Adjuncts are promoted as vacancies occur in the 
 Assistant Visiting Staff. 
 
 House Staff 
 
 On the House Staff of the Four Medical and Four Surgical 
 Services are sixty internes and on the Special Services are sixty- 
 five internes, a total of 125 on the House Staff. In addition are 
 ten to fifteen substitutes all the time. 
 
 Some of the Divisions have a salaried resident in charge for one 
 year, the so-called house being what in our day was called a senior. 
 The Resident must have had two years' experience in hospital 
 work to be eligible for appointment. 
 
 As all the Services have not availed themselves of the privilege 
 of having a Resident there is evidently a division of opinion as to 
 the advisability of this plan. The chief question that arises being, 
 will the best men take the service when only a few can become the 
 responsible head of the service. 
 
 In recent years women have served on the House Staff and ten 
 are now on duty. Now that all of the medical colleges have ad- 
 mitted women, it is probable this number will be increased. 
 
 During the war Bellevue had the same troubles as other hospitals 
 in maintaining the work of the wards, and at one time there were 
 on the staff five colored men, one of whom became Resident under 
 Dr. Edward L. Keyes; a Chinaman from Harvard Medical, in China, 
 who made an excellent record; a Chinese woman doctor and a 
 Filipino. 
 
 152 
 
W$z $eat 1921 
 
 The work of the Staff is now in its usual form. The only colored 
 men on it are one in the Tuberculosis Service and one in the X-Ray 
 Department. 
 
 Bellevue Hospital as a Teaching Institution 
 
 As a teaching institution Bellevue serves the public in three ways: 
 By its clinical work for medical students and post-graduate students. 
 By the training of nurses in the Training Schools. 
 By its School for Midwives. 
 
 Medical Instruction Bellevue Hospital 
 
 To the writer it seems that the use of the Wards of Bellevue 
 Hospital for teaching medical students will best utilize the resources 
 of the Hospital for the public good. 
 
 Early in its history as a separate hospital Bellevue was served 
 by such men as Valentine Mott. James R. Wood, Willard Parker, 
 Gunning S. Bedford and Alonzo Clark. 
 
 The wealth of material and the character of the visiting resulted 
 in a desire for regular clinical instruction. This demand was met 
 by the Commissioners who built an amphitheatre in 1849, and 
 teaching has continued from that date. 
 
 In the years following three medical colleges were located in 
 the vicinity and the hospital service was divided among them. 
 The Hospital was a teaching center and during the following years 
 was attended by thousands of students from the medical colleges. 
 This teaching was largely by lectures and clinics and not much 
 by ward work. Famous clinicians and surgeons were developed 
 and the graduates will remember with pleasure the teaching of 
 such men as William H. Van Buren, Fordyce Barker, Austin Flint, 
 Lewis A. Sayre, Alfred L. Loomis, William T. Lusk, Edward G. 
 Janeway, Lewis A. Stimson. Francis Delafield, and many others- 
 
 In the last twenty years great changes have taken place in the 
 method of teaching. 
 
 With greater opportunities come greater responsibilities. 
 
 Bellevue Hospital of to-day is a challenge to the medical college. 
 
 With 1691 beds, with a Department of Pathology and X-Ray 
 diagnosis, with ten operating rooms available, with internes who 
 have been taught as students to do the routine pathological work, 
 with thirteen special departments, with a Board of Trustees willing 
 to grant any privileges that will help in utilizing all these oppor- 
 tunities; how are colleges meeting this challenge? 
 
 The large clinics of the past days are in the discard. 
 
 Students are met by instructors in the wards on the regular 
 services and some of the special services. They are taught in the 
 second and third year at the bedside and in the Out-Patient Depart- 
 ment. In the fourth year they serve as clinical clerks, taking histories 
 and doing routine work, all under the observation of instructors. 
 
 153 
 
(Wfyt gtar 1921 
 
 Departments of the Hospital 
 
 There are four medical and four surgical divisions as in the past. 
 
 The prohibition against the staff of the Fourth Division being 
 connected with the colleges has been rescinded and most of its 
 Visitings are teaching in the various medical schools; so really the 
 whole service of the Hospital is in the control of the medical 
 colleges. 
 
 Special departments are: 
 
 Obstetrics; 2nd and 3rd Divisions, with 1500 deliveries per year. 
 
 Gynaecology; 3rd Division. 
 
 Genito-Urinary Surgery; 2nd Division. 
 
 Children's Surgery; 4th Division.

 This summary must convince you that the wards of Bellevue 
 Hospital are used to a greater extent than ever before. Its importance 
 in medical education has never been greater. The time and effort 
 put in by the instructors has never been exceeded. 
 
 The need of more instructors has of late led to frequent ap- 
 pointments of new men to the Assistant Visiting and Adjunct As- 
 ssistant Visiting Staff. These appointments are for a one year 
 period only. 
 
 We know that each college has the supervision and teaching of the 
 students and internes through a course in the pre-medical, medical 
 and hospital interneship, and in some cases the residents' position 
 for one year, all taking from seven to ten years. 
 
 Is it too much to expect that each college should find among 
 the graduates from their course in Bellevue Hospital men sufficiently 
 prepared to fill all the vacancies occurring in the Assistant Visiting 
 Staff of the Hospital? 
 
 When this is done the quality of the instruction given in the 
 Hospital will be proven by results, and a better spirit will prevail 
 among the Hospital graduates. Loyalty to the Hospital will be 
 more readily shown when loyalty of its visiting staff to its graduates 
 also prevails. 
 
 Post-Graduate Work 
 
 On special services as Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat the staff men 
 are usually men who have had a general hospital experience here 
 
 155 
 
tEfie grat 1921 
 
 or elsewhere. They take the service to become specialists in their 
 particular line, and can thus be regarded as post-graduate students. 
 They receive a hospital diploma for one year's service. 
 
 The College of Physicians and Surgeons gives a post-graduate 
 course in Pediatrics. 
 
 It is, however, probable that as the hospital is used by 614 
 under-graduates each year from three different medical colleges, 
 there is not much opportunity for post-graduate work. 
 
 Training of Nurses 
 
 The training of nurses has been a valuable feature of Bellevue 
 Hospital. The Training School was not established by the Hospital 
 authorities, but by a group of public-spirited women who wished 
 to improve conditions. 
 
 They sent abroad a young man who had just finished his hospital 
 course. He studied the training schools abroad and consulted with 
 Florence Nightingale, who helped to outline a plan for the new 
 School. That young man was Dr. W. Gill Wylie. 
 
 Miss Helen Bowden, known as Sister Helen, of University Hos- 
 pital, London, was selected for superintendent of the new School 
 and served for four years in that capacity, when, because of ill 
 health, she returned to England. 
 
 The School began operations in 1873 and gradually took over the 
 nursing of the patients. 
 
 Previous to this time the nursing, if such it could be called, was 
 done by the prisoners from the Workhouse, and deplorable conditions 
 were present. 
 
 This School has graduated about 1400 nurses; they have been 
 called to the superintendency of many other training schools in 
 this and other countries, and so Bellevue has had an important 
 influence in the development of other training schools and of the 
 profession of nursing. 
 
 Of late years a post-graduate course in nursing has been estab- 
 lished and many graduates of training schools in smaller places come 
 for a course of from six months to a year. 
 
 There are also thirty-nine schools affiliated with Bellevue Training 
 School who send pupils for courses in such subjects as they cannot 
 get at home. 
 
 The Mills Training School for Attendants is now under the super- 
 vision of the Women's School. 
 
 The Training School has one hundred and eighty-nine women 
 as pupil-nurses; forty men in the Mills School, and graduate head 
 nurses for each ward, and as supervisor and instructors, bringing 
 the total number of nurses to approximately three hundred; and 
 this is a shortage of seventy-five. 
 
 An eight-hour day for nurses is now being brought into force 
 gradually. 
 
 156 
 
<H$t gear 1921 
 
 It is interesting to note that there are now in this country 1776 
 nurses' training schools, 55251 pupil nurses and 151,466 graduate. 
 
 Frequent changes have taken place in the head of the Training 
 School of late years, usually because the superintendent was called 
 into government service. 
 
 Whoever was the head of the school Miss Carrie Brink, Assistant 
 Superintendent, was always at her side, giving the benefit of her 
 intimate knowledge of the problems of the hospital and school. 
 
 With the resignation of Miss Hilliard as Superintendent, Miss 
 Brink was made Superintendent of the Training School. 
 
 She was a true educator in the training of pupil-nurses, decisive 
 in her judgment and action, vigilant in all things, cheerful in her 
 manner, and when she dropped dead at her post December 10, 1920, 
 the Hospital and Training School suffered an irreparable loss. 
 
 The School for Midwives 
 
 This was opened in 1911 in the old emergency hospital building. 
 An eight-months training course is given. The students give their 
 services in return for free instruction. About fifty midwives are 
 graduated each year. Most of the patients are attended in their 
 homes, but there are eighteen beds in the Emergency Hospital 
 Service. 
 
 In this department 850 patients were delivered last year. 
 
 This makes a total of 2350 deliveries in this and the regular 
 obstetrical service of Bellevue Hospital. 
 
 Social Service 
 
 Of late years there has been an effort to supplement the Hospital 
 work by caring for the convalescent and investigating the needs 
 of the families of patients in their homes. 
 
 A Social Service Department was formed years ago under the 
 supervision of Miss Mary Wadley. Forty graduate nurses are 
 employed; the city pays for fourteen. The money for the others 
 is raised by subscriptions and Chrsitmas offerings and in this the 
 Board of Managers are active. 
 
 These nurses work in the pre-natal and post-natal clinics, in 
 tuberculosis service, in the venereal service of the out-patient de- 
 partment. They send patients to convalescent homes, pay car fares, 
 secure clothing for the needy, supply food for needy convalescents, 
 supply braces, abdominal supporters, elastic stockings, etc. 
 
 Its nurses, working with the various return clinics of the Hospital, 
 are very helpful in looking up and finding out the condition of 
 those who do not return.

 Membership of Society of Alumni of Bellevue Hospital 
 
 Our Society of Alumni of Bellevue Hospital now has the follow- 
 ing membership: 
 
 Active Resident members 202 
 
 Resident Permanent Associate members 121 
 
 Non-resident Permanent Associate members 2 
 
 Emeritus members 3 
 
 Honorary members 3 
 
 Although the number of internes is greatly increased, a large 
 number do not reach the grade of House. Each year twenty-four are 
 graduated qualified to join this society. The others get a short 
 term certificate for a one year service. 
 
 The present methods of appointing assistants to a director of the 
 service instead of full visitings also lessens the number of men 
 eligible to permanent associate membership. 
 
 Changes in our constitution and by-laws will be advisable from 
 time to time.

THE ANNUAL MEETINGS AND REUNIONS 
 
 The society was in its second year when it inaugurated a series 
 of annual meetings- It was ambitious to be considered an active, 
 vigorous society and to take a prominent part in the work of the 
 medical associations of the city- Another and an important pur- 
 pose was to be a rallying point for Bellevue men — to foster the 
 spirit of fellowship and good-will that was known to exist among 
 those who began their career in Bellevue Hospital.
