VII. BULLETIN OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS No. 6. The School of Medicine JUNE, 1906. LAWRENCE, KANSAS. Entered at the Post-office as Second-class Matter. ✓ T HIS was the last, hut not least, of the separate schools to be added to this great University of Kansas. Its birth dates back to 1901, but not until 1905, was a course offered whereby a student could receive an M. D. degree, for, prior to this time, only a two-year preparatory course was offered in this institution. The necessity for hospitals, clinics and other facilities did not justify the establishment of this school at Lawrence, consequently the University of Kansas enveloped the Kansas City Medical, the Medico-Chirugical, and the College of Physicians and Surgeons, all schools of Kansas City, thereby bringing into existence one of the best medical colleges of the United States today and with prospects that bid fair to make it one of the best in the world. Yet, doubtless the existence of this department is indirectly due to the generosity of Dr. Bell, who gave valuable property for the establishment of these buildings in Rosedale. Of the schools united, perhaps, the Kansas City Medical deserves more honor and credit for her contribution to this enterprise, for, besides giving over some thirty bright-minded students, she has contributed, by far, more professors of the present faculty than both the other schools combined. The other colleges have lent their share of support and may justly be proud of their representation. Kansans may truly take pride in their University, and feel sure that the Medical School will never be found wanting in maintaining the high standard of this noble institutions. 2 ELEANOR TAYLOR BELL MEMORIAL HOSPITAL — Photo by Squires NEW K.

Internal Medicine. MISS MAUD KIBBIE Secretary to the Dean. 4 George Howard Hoxie, A. B., A. M., M. D. Dean of Clinical Department T O be dean of a medical school necessitates the patience of Job, the wisdom of a Socrates, and the tact of Dr. Hoxie. His administration thus far has been filled with adversities, for besides the routine work en- countered in the deansliip, he has been compelled to conduct the school this year with but little financial support, which fact has been a great handicap to the accomplishment of his labors. In the capacity of dean, we are proud of Dr. Hoxie, and as a refined, scientific gentleman of culture we take no less pride. In the future lives of the members of the class of ’06, we shall always count it a pleasure to point to our dean as an able ex- ecutive of his department. Miss E. Maud Kibbie Secretary to the Dean I T is a pleasant duty to rehearse some of the many commendable features that have characterized this young lady as a universal favorite with the K. U. Medics. Her work has not been a continual round of pleasure, but full of trials and tribulations, yet at all times she has proven herself equal to the occasion and by her soft words has turned away wrath. To make a long story short, Miss Kibbie is the ideal lady for the position she now has the honor of holding. She is pleasant, courteous, and capable, and has won the respect and esteem of every one with whom she comes in contact. The outgoing class shall always cherish a kindly feeling for this admirable young lady. 5 WILLIAM ABRAMS. M. D., 1904, ( Kansas City Medical College). Clinical Assistant. EDWARD GILES BLAIR. A.

FIill, Associate Bus. Manager C. C. Nesselrode, Business Manager Dale Lucas, Associate Editor J. D. Davies, Editor 22 I T is well nigh onto four years ago since this class came to the school of ^Esculapius, all of us filled with am- bition and some of us — to use the slang phrase — filled with prunes. Some of us were blessed with papas with a good bank account, while others were lucky that we wore the same sized collars and socks as our paternal ancestors and even while the neckties and hat he wore were landmarks at home, they were strangers to our classmates and their use helped much to lengthen the existence of our slender purse. It took a number of us some time to get “city broke,” but the majority of us are completely broke now. Some of our professors who have been disposed to hold out a favorable prognosis for us, have at times told us: “The future is yours;” — ordinarily that might afford consolation, but some of us have put so heavy a mortgage on our future to “our uncle” that it will be some time before we get possession of it again. When we came here some of us were so green we “blew out the gas,” but now that we are leaving, it’s only fair to say that we “blowed in everything.” According to David Harutn a dog must have a certain amount of fleas to keep him from forgetting he is a dog. It is likewise true, that a Medic gets just so much Hades for his faults from the public to remind him that he is a Medic; yet after all, we are not anxious to have our meaning construed that: the best a Medic can get is the “worst of it.” ’Tis not often that the poor Medic gets close enough to the stage of a theatre to even hear the orchestra, to say nothing of inspecting each component part, but once is enough to observe the wide abyss that separates the first and second violinists of that august body. One is all pomp, fire, bustle and enthusiasm personified. Now waving his bow high in the air, he silently, yet safely, guides the exquisite harmony; he has that magnificent musical machine so profoundly under his control that he can hasten or slow its movements by the slightest wave of his hand; and again when he brings his violin to his shoulder, with what ease does he take the leading strain, high above the crash of sounds, above the shrill trumpet, the braying horns, the ear-piercing notes of the fife, and all the thunders of the orchestra, and distinct and clear are heard the notes of the first violin. Dressed in unimpeachable broadcloth, with kids and immaculate linen, stamping his foot, wagging his head, nodding earnestly to right and left and beating time with mad energy, he enters heart and soul into the melody oblivious of all else because he is the leader — he plays first violin. Standing near him on a lower platform and before a lower inusic-rest is a patient, sad-faced, care-worn man who saws quietly on the strings with rather the air of a hired man than of the enthusiast. His eyes you never see in a fine frenzy rolling, glancing from heaven to earth and earth to heaven, nor do you see his muscles in a spasm of ecstacy, he never wags his head nor stamps his foot; but steadily and conscientiously he pours a rich undercurrent of harmony into the music which few hear, fewer care for, but without which, losing the charm of contrast, it would be as dreary as the droning of a bag-pipe. With his eye fixed upon the notes he diligently scrapes away, not with enthusiasm, not by the inspiration of a master, but by the reflection that he is exchang- ing his notes for dollars; and that with each quaver he earns so much bread and butter for his family. Yet this musical machine that plays its part so mechanically with apparently as little interest in the result as a calculat- ing machine in the solution of a mathematical problem, may have been endowed by nature with as much genius and fire'as that thundering Jupiter of the orchestra, the leader; but alas ! he plays second fiddle. The world is an orchestra and men are players. All are playing some part in the production of life’s har- mony, some wielding the baton, fired by the sympathy of onlookers; others feeling that they are but second fiddlers, humbled by conscious inferiority and drudging on through their despicable, monotonous task. This simile applies to the study of medicine. The Doctor of Medicine truly playing the first violin — the student, even though a few months from graduation, is playing second fiddle until the “grand finale” of this magnificent harmony. Force of habit has made the expression, “Yes, Doctor,” so mechanical to the Medic that he is almost afraid to say his soul is his own. Yet this self-acknowledged expression of inferiority does not signify that the acknowledgment is made with reluctance; the fact that this wide abyss separating student and instructor does exist, is because the boys have deemed it a necessity and their choice. Even now, through these apparent great tribulations, we have reached the pinnacle we have been striving for during these four years, having now a permanent place in the real commencement of our professional lives and entitled to a place in the history of the first graduating class of this great University of Kansas, we are not pregnant with the joy we have anticipated, but quit the dear old school with much reluctance. The magic spirit of fellowship will in our future restore the shattered gossamer of affection we now bear one another. We do not feel that we are escaping punishment and torture by this, our leave of college, but rather that it is the ceasing of an exquisite music. 23 CLIFFORD C. NESSELRODE, M. D. Business Manager Medical Department ’06 Jayhawker. When Cliff started off with the bunch, he wasn’t a hit with the boys. He had been teaching school so long that the "I have spoken” element of his make-up was quite conspicuous in his recitations. He finally came to earth and is now a thorough student, and en thusiastic Medic with symptoms of a malignant love. ARTHUR C. DILDINE, D. D. S., M. D. “Mother Dildine” is “one of the best, if not the best,” in the class and “has his nerve all the time.” Artie was educated in Pennsylvania and came West to specialize in all the branches of medicine. He occa- sionally gets rough, and says, “Pshaw,” but Arthur is a good student, and a man of excellent habits. FRANCIS ELMER WILHELMI, M. D. “Meggy” is not lazy, nor has he ’’congenital fa- tigue,” but he’s just been around the Missouri Pacific hospital too long. He is a pseudo-papa of the class. He is a Kansas product from Winchester. The fact that he is now assistant to Dr. J. W. Perkins is evi- dence of his ability. HUGH DUNCAN McGAUGHEV, M. D. Aesculapian Society. Here is a fellow who has entered heart anil soul into the study of his profession. He prepared at Be- loit. His home is in Jewell, Kansas. McGaughev is deserving of all the success that may come to him. MORRIS CLIFFORD HUTTON. M. D. Prior to his entrance to the Medical Department of the University of Kansas, Mr. Hutton had been a student in the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Kansas City, Kansas. The essentials that go to make up a good Medic are not lacking in him. MILTON B. SHERRARD, M. D. Before beginning the strenuous medical life, was a student at the Kansas State Normal School at Emporia. Dr. Sherrard deserves no little credit for his effort and success in educating himself for his chosen profession. 24 t GEORGE CHARLES HENRY ERNST, A.B.; M.D. When Ernst first came to us, we regarded him with no little degree of suspicion, for he acknowledged himself the son of a minister. In spite of this and the fact that he has owned a drug store, the only thing that can be said derogatory to his character is. that he has periodic attacks of love. HOWARD ALBERT HAMILTON, A. B.; M. D' A This gentleman is another one of the good fellows of the class. He came to us from Park College, “charged to the muzzle” with a store of excellent knowledge. He is an exceptionally good companion, a “true blue,” as well as a good scholar. MELVIA F. AVERY, B. S.; M. D. Miss Avery received her education preparatory to medicine at Kansas State Agricultural College at Man- hattan. She is good-natured, and knows a good deal of medicine for a Senior. The only fault she has is “being a woman.” JOHN D. DAVIES, M. D. < t> A ; Chairman Invitation Committee; Editor Medical Department Jayhawker ’06; Editor Medical Depart- ment of The Kansan. The author of these effusions will take upon him- self the task of describing his career. I began my life in Lucas county, Iowa, but have been claiming Con- cordia as my home. I have never been an “also ran,” and I know I have some friends in school for I can borrow money from a lot of the fellows. jas. a. McConnell, m. d Y. M. C. A. “Mack,” in addition to carrying his college work creditably, has supported his family. If use breeds habit in a man, this fellow is well on the highway to success, for he is sincere, industrious, and a gentle- man HERBERT R. KING, M. D. Jasper county, Mo., has reason to be proud of her King. There have been times when he has ideas of leaving us to join the Medics of sunny California. Per- haps a certain little lady in Jasper could explain why he hasn’t. Herbert is a universal favorite in his quiet wav. 25 dale LUCAS, M. D. 4* A ; President Senior Class, ’06; Vice-President, first semester; Assistant Editor Medical Department ’06 Jayhawker. Perhaps of the whole class this “wise old owl” is the most popular. He is not an Apollo in personal beauty but to know him is to have the deepest respect and regard for him. FRANK ESTELL CASBURN, M. D. “Elder Casburn” — the Beau Brummel, and, by all odds, the handsomest man in school, was a minis- ter. Why he gave up the redemption of souls to save bodies, is not for us to say. He is a good Indian from the word go, always pleasant, courteous, and a gentle- man at all times. JOHN ADAM CRABB, M. D. Vice-President Class, ’06; Y. M. C. A. Dr. Crabb was for five years county clerk of Smith county. He evidently has all of the politics out of his system by now. He is quite popular among his classmates, and well worthy of his honors. ABRAM COMINGS GRIFFITHS, M. D. Z; Treasurer Class ’06; Invitation Committee. “Griff” was educated at Lawrenceville School in New Jersey prior to his course at Princeton. While he has an ardent love for the tender sex and ai tomo- biles, he has succeeded in equipping himself with quite enough knowledge of medicine to become a suc- cessful practitioner. ALFRED LESLIE CASBURN, M. D. Learned some four years ago of the wondrous changes our K. U. Medical Course had wrought upon man and hastened at once from his quiet rural home at Ferris, Illinois, to the scene of action. He is an exceedingly fine-looking man, and is well equipped with medical knowledge. HAROLD PHILIPP KUHN, A. B., M. D. B 0 11 ; Track Team, ’06; Chairman Cap and Gown Committee. Kuhn brought his “S” from Stanford and earned a “K” in the recent track meet by winning handily over the high hurdles. His scholastic achievements are among the highest in the class, and he has done several months of hospital work in surgery and neu- rology. He is a typical college man. 26 T. A. PROUSE, A. M.; M. D. President Class, first semester. This broadminded, earnest man, is certainly self- made, having unceasingly earned his way to his A. M. and then to his M. D. He is a student, a consistent church worker in the slums, and besides, supports his family in this city, where he has already located. DANIEL LAURENCE HEIDRICK, M. D. Dan came from Madison about four years ago. He was always a good man, even before his marriage, which occurred his first year of school. College life with him has been a self-limited disease with few ex- acerbations to mark the difficult epochs. MILDRED CURTIS, M. D. This young lady comes to us from Neosho Falls, and carries all her learning with a dignity becoming an M. I), She has done her share in upholding the brilliance of the feminine portion of the class, and proven herself worthy the respect of all. We are one in wishing her happiness and prosperity. STANLEY HERSCHEL GATCH, M. D. When Gateh was still in his boyish youth, some heartless wretch induced him to believe himself a vo- calist. He is rational on all other subjects, is a pro- gressive. agreeable classmate, with but this one great fault, he does not realize that he is a delusion and a snare. GROVER C. SHERRARD, M. D. Grover is a product of Republic City. He, like his brother, has attained his wisdom by the “sweat of his brow;” having to provide the “long green” by his own efforts. His college record is one of which he may be proud. MOHLER JACOB MILLER, M. D. Ere the base laws of our servitude began, Miller was comfortably absorbing nourishment from the vicinity around McPherson, Kansas. Miller has come to the front wonderfully during the past year, is a good student, a hard worker, and a loyal ’06 man. 27 THOMAS J. HOWELL, M. D. “Old Bob Goudy” is a confirmed “batch,” yet contrary to the type, Bob is optimistic. He is said to have declared that he had made a specialty of scalds and burns with a view to his welfare in the next world. He is going to Germany to further pursue the study of medicine. He is quick-witted and has all the ele- ments of good fellowship. FRED E. ACKERSON, M. D. Claims Kansas City as his home. He is a “shark,” always pretending to expect a knock-out at each ex- amination, and invariably finishing with a top-notch grade. Fred has devoted most of his attention to dis- eases of the eye, with the idea of making that branch his specialty. JOHN HENRY LEE STAPLES, M. D. John is what might be called neutral, or slightly alkaline in reaction. He came from Nelson in Saline county. John Henry Lee Staples will probably never cover himself with glory as a text-book author, but may do quite well as a practitioner. FRANK M. DENSLOW, M, D. “ Doc” Denslow is one of the brightest men of the graduating class. Besides being a good student, he is a mixer. He has been an interne at St. Margaret’s Hospital during the past eight months. Frank claims Kansas City as his home. CHAS. NELSON SLAYBAUGH, M. D. Chief of Obstetric Staff. “Sammy” will never set the world on fire as a genius, but as a man, he will instill much warmth in those who are fortunate enough to be counted as his friends. Sammy is a graduated trained nurse, and a dandy, too. HENRY HINDS JOHNSON, M. D. Has distinguished himself as the sad-faced Medic with an ardent love for “passionate sox.” He came from Wayland, Mich., and is a nice, quiet fellow. We do not know the direction of his ambitions in medi- cine, but hope he may attain all the success he merits. 28 HERBERT D. STERRETT, M. D. Dr. Sterrett came from Norcatur, Kansas, where he has been engaged in active practice, since his grad- uation from Ainsworth Medical School at St. Joseph, Mo. He is a congenial gentleman of sterling worth. J. A WEISS, M. D. This distinguished-looking individual received his “prep” in a butcher shop at Sabetha, Kansas, and was much disappointed that no credit was due him in the dissecting room. He is a man thoroughly compe- tent to converse with the instructor on any subject save the one under discussion. FRED CHARLES TYREE, M. D.; l l> A If there has been a class fight, a scuttle or a ban- quet that this fellow has missed, keep it quiet, for it would break his heart. He is a man, mentally, mor- ally and physically — a fellow we are glad to call friend. FREDERICK WILLIAM SHAW, M. I). “ Pshaw,” we hardly know what to say of him, for so much good can be said that it’s just a question of the best. He is a good student, ambitious and en- thusiastic. He has received part of his education across the water, and contemplates concluding it there. E. E. SPARR, M. D. “Our Earl” bears the distinction of being the light- weight champion of Conway Springs. Sparr is a nice- looking fellow, pleasant and refined, and will certainly develope into an excellent practitioner of his chosen profession. CLAUDE L. SHULTZ, M. I). Despite his intelligent appearance, he matriculated in the Kansas City Medical College. He came from Caney, Kansas, and says if patients are not numerous in his field of practice, he’s going “ broke.” WILLIAM FRANKLIN MARKLEY, M. D. Markley has been self-supporting during all his college course, and has made excellent grades. He has the distinction of being the only man awarded ioo per cent in the pathological branch of medicine. He has been too busy to be sociable, but his earnest efforts and ability have won respect. JOSEPH HAMILTON CRAMPTON, M. D. Joe drifted in from the West about four years ago. He is a modern Hercules and goodness personified. His home is at Colfax, Washington, and he intends going back west to practice. JESSE H. BALDWIN, B. S., M. I). Y. M. C. A Takes himself too seriously, (but no one else does). He is one of these real good boys who never gets into a clique that can thoroughly appreciate his talent. He contemplates going into foreign missionary service where he can deal in religion as a side line. FRED D. LOSE. M. D.; A He is a living proof of changes wrought by medi- cine upon an embryo. When Fred “drive in” from the rural district, he lacked much of being a “town boy”. Lose is a fine fellow. He falters sometimes on grammatical construction, but never in an opportunity to do one a kindness. JOHN HENRY ROSE, M. D. 'Tis not for mortals to command success, but this fellow is big enough to get his. He is a heavy weight of 205 pounds, but particularly heavy as a student. Rose is an affable, congenial associate, and well liked by his classmates FREDERICK ANTONIO HUMMER, M. D. Is a misnomer, for he has caused no particular consternation in college life. When he gets his “gala rags” all on, he looks like the hind end of bad hick. While there is no halo around his head, we hope that Hummer will do well. yV ;.i ' : UU::::U :: • • •. • ' •"* v* yr ■ ■ uy ■ : ::: 30 MELVIN B. ROBERTS, M. D. The Doctor has never been awarded any honors for personal beauty, nor as a prodigy. He is just an or- dinary medic with a few salient features that would justify his being crowned as more than a man among men. Roberts is a good student and an earnest fellow. VERNE HENRY BANTLEON, M. D. The subject of this sketch has never been suspected, much less accused, of imbibing too freely of our fount of knowledge, so we will infer that he is a man of temperate habits. He came to K. U. from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Kansas City. HORACE P. MAHAN, M. D. “Irish” hails from Mineral, he serves as a fit ex- ample to prove the productive power of the State. The fact that Mahan is congenial and nice-looking, along with his ability as a medicine man, should in- sure his success. EDGAR L. DAVIS, M. D. The business manager of this section had a good deal of talking to do to get this picture. Davis is en- thusiastic, and capable of gushing forth great bursts of eloquence with an infinite deal of nothing as a theme. Yet Davis isn’t a bad fellow — he is obliging, courteous and a good student. EDWIN C. BUTTON, B. S., M. D. Aesculapian Society. Preparatory to his medical education, was a student at Central Normal College. He is a quiet unassuming fellow, seldom “button-in”; a good student, a con- genial associate and a through and through Kansas man . GUY J. RUSSELL, M. D. Guy has at no time been completely submerged in honors — he has at all times managed to progress with credit. Russell is a married man, therefore his con- duct is above reproach. We hope Russell will soon be president of the bank in the town in which he locates. 3 ‘ JESSE N. HILL, M. D. Secretary of Class ’06; Assistant Business Manager Medical Department ’06 Jayhawker. Jesse is not from prohibition Kansas, — he is too “loose about his joints.” At the kick-off. his amebic movement did not warrant a creditable finish, but when he got his “pseudopodia” working properly it was not long before he struck quite a gait. Hill is the best student in the class, and one of its most con- genial fellows. FRED R. BERRY, M. D. We hope this Berry will not be plucked during the examination season, for he is really a good hearted, jovial, classmate, and while he is but an average student, he will doubtless do well in practice here in Kansas City. J. W. DAVIS, M. D. Joe’s home address is Independence. He prepared at Montgomery County High School. He will not be embellished with medals on Commencement Day, but he will be able to show a creditable college record. B. W. J. WORRALL, M. D. Has made no K. U. record that will cast a radiant light upon the future pages of history. He has a re- deeming feature, however, that covers a multitude of sins, he is self-supporting and cares for the needs of his mother. We wish him success. W. E. BOOTH, M. D. As his name implies, is a “bad actor,” and he is from Texas too. He is not particularly “a gun” in Medicine, vet knows enough about the science to de- velope into “an excellent old family physician.” Booth is a good fellow and we hope that success will come to him in large packages. . RONALD R. SMITH, Ph. G., M. D. <1> A . “Railroad” Smith hails from Wainego, and if he is as capable in practice as he has shown himself to be during his college career, his Alma Mater will have reason to feel proud of her offspring. Ronald has many staunch friends in the class. 2 2 CHARLES MCKINLEY, M. D. A . Mack came to us from Independence, where he had been busy as a Superintendent of the Public Knowledge Dispensary for several years. He is one of the best “all-round” men of the class. RALPH CAMBERN HENDERSON, M. D. 'Tis difficult to understand how so much goodness, good sense and intellect has found abode in this small area of humanity. Dr. Henderson graduated several years ago from the Kansas City Medical College, and has been enjoying practice at Erie, Kansas, since that date. CLAUDE E. STUMP, M. D. Claude came from Caldwell, Kansas, with all the goodness and greatness of our Kansas productions. Stump has spent much of his time with the depart- ment “Diseases of Children”, yet, we should not pre- sume to predict the direction of his ambition. JAMES McCULLY, M. D. Cap and Gown Committee. Came from Dudley, Iowa, and we are all glad he came, for it’s good to be with “Mack”. He is a dandy good fellow, chuck-full of class spirit and an aide man from a professional standpoint. 33 ST. MARGARET’S HOSPITAL —Photo by Squires 34 MISSOURI PACIFIC HOSPITAL —Photo by Squires THE GOAL It is of prime importance that the young physician define at the outset of his career his goal ; for definite- ness of purpose differentiates the forceful and successful man from the drifting weakling. Therefore my mes- sage to the class of 1906 is simply, Define your aims. The neophyte must decide between the claims of a life of serving self, and one of serving others, — between getting and giving. He may seek renown as a man of research and of medical discovery, He may seek wealth and social prestige. He may even try for political honors and emoluments. Or, on the other hand, he may search out situations in which he may do the greatest good; and try in whatsoever location he find himself to make himself useful and helpful to those about him. Our profession is essentially an unselfish one; and that colleague who uses it for his own aggrandizement has mistaken his calling and does his profession great harm. Therefore by the very nature of the responsibility which we assume when we seek and obtain the title, doctor of medicine, we pledge ourselves to lives of minis- try and service rather than to lives of ease and self-indulgence. We are then to seek to better the health both of individuals who seek us out and of the body politic, — which may seek to rid itself of our services as of those who point out faults. To fulfill our calling will demand personal sacrifice, — and that frequently for an ungrate- ful public. The Spirit of the Age will often argue — and prove — us fools for seeking a Utopia; but the Spirit of Medicine, the spirit that has animated our forerunners, bids us be idealists, to believe in man and work for his salvation. We must therefore, if we would follow the better wav, consider ourselves the priests of medicine and serve her with the devotion of the Nazarite. For these reasons your success cannot be reckoned by the dollars you may accumulate, nor by the fame you win; but by the good you do and by the blessings which will be showered upon ycur memory. — George Howard Hoxie. 36 THE GOAL OF MEDICAL EDUCATION The Ttudent’s Viewpoint I have been asked to write an article on The Goal of Medical Education, somewhat from the viewpoint of one who is in the throes of the process; and insofar as my opinions have any value as personal or typical, it seems to me that the goal of medical education is inseparably bound up in the object of the medical sciences. For it is very obvious that the one is simply the process of imparting as completely and perfectly as possible the principles of the other. And by the medical sciences is meant not any narrow or restricted knowl- edge of the human body in health and disease, the agencies which bring about its disease and the agencies which tend to restore it to health, but that broader and more comprehensive meaning of the term which includes the sciences of physics, chemistry and biology in their broadest and most comprehensive sense. Like every true science the science of medicine must be a comparative science and the object of the confessors to such a syn- thetic science of medicine is of course the object of all workers in the field — the discovery of truth. As Huxley said a number of years ago — and he spoke as one with authority, for he was a man reviled and execrated of all men simply for expressing what he believed to be the truth — the only real business of any person who professes a love for science is the discovery for himself and by himself, irrespective of any of his previous opinions or of any other person’s opinions, of the truth of any proposition placed before him — to sit down before a natural object or an experiment with the simplicity of a child and to follow wherever that object or experiment led And the application of the scientific method means the isolation, complete and absolute, of medical science from every consideration of whatever sort except the object to be gained. The goal of medical education and the object of medical science are one and inseparable, but they are separated from everything else in the world. The physician may be, and indeed he is. peculiarly fitted bv his knowledge to advise the community on certain social problems which it must face, but as soon as he employs any but the scientific method for their solution, so soon he finds himself lost on a vast rhetorical sea, without the shadow of a compass or the vestige of a pilot. The elimination of every conventionally sentimental and altruistic consideration is the price that is paid for what comes to be at last the finest sentiment and the highest altruism— the discovery of truth. The signs of such a spirit have been for a long time the signs of the times. The vast flood of current medi- cal literature is an indication of tremendous work that is going on in the laboratories of the world. “ Out of the shadows of night The world rolls into light It is daybreak everywhere.” — Logan Ci.endenning. 37 ST.

Auditor 4o T HE JUNIOR CLASS, twenty-eight in number, is composed of former students from the schools now asso- ciated together to form the clinical department of the University course, also students from Electic Med- ical University, University Medical College, and Kirksville College. However, there is no faction or discord existing, as might be expected from such a representation. We hereby go on record as the first Junior Class in Medicine in the University of Kansas. Needless to say, we are proud of this distinction. We realized the responsibility of having our standing used as a guide in judg- ing the succeeding class. Although not being ideal we take great pleasure in knowing there is nothing of dis- credit against us. We are looking forward to the time when our upper classman, as such, will be no more, and have begun practicing that grave and wise look which is so becoming to a Senior Medic. It is useless to say that nothing gives very much concern except the passing of our Junior Exams, for we expect the Senior work to be a pipe. For our permanent location, see the next issue of this publication. (Signed) President Junior Class. 4i Sophomore Medics Officers David B. Robinson, Henry Miller, George Harrington, Edna Orcott, President Vice President Treasurer Secretary 42 T HE MEDIC CLASS OF '90S claim the honor of being the first class which will graduate in four years with an M. D. degiee from Kansas State University after having done all medical work in this school. Other classes have received from one university in two years a Certificate of Medicine, but this custom was abolished when we arrived on the scene, since we now have a four year course. At the end of our first year Dr. Hoxie tried to land us all safely in the Sophomore Class, but our number slowly dwindled and by the beginning of our second year we were glad enough to have recruits from Kansas City, and this year we are about equal in numbers. We had one girl in our midst, but the smells, yowls of cats and howling of dogs upset her nerves and by Christmas she was compelled to go to a sanitarium to recuperate. Like other Freshmen classes we passed through the unhappy days when we smelt unusual and were ostra- cized at our boarding clubs. Indeed, we were unpopular everywhere, for we left a trail of formalin behind us. For obvious reasons our building is not a popular place for people who suffer from weak nerves and strong im- aginations ; the strong odors which pervade the halls and reach the outer air, the groans that issue from the unconscious victims offered up on the altar of science, and an occasional leg or arm carelessly thrown through a window in the exuberance of our Freshmen spirits — these marks of our ancient and honorable calling tend to keep at a respectful and awesome distance all but the initiated and morbidly curious. The initiated, however, are not always exempt from the base practices of the ungodly medical student who must have his practical joke, even if he resorts to the low trick of implanting a nerve so cleverly in the thorax as to deceive his near- sighted instructor, and cause the latter to spend several hours in the library, vainly trying to find the identity of the curious anomoly. In the eyes of our professors some of us may be “impulsive but not exact, hazy, argu- mentative and inattentive,” but we are all loyal to each other, standing together and living up to our creed : i. We love to work and are never satisfied unless working overtime. 2. We like the smell of formalin and are happy when our clothes are saturated with it. 3. We enjoy giving samples to visitors. 4. We don’t go out in society. We have our reasons. 5. We dote on our medical building, it's so cosy and small. 6. We believe in the old adage, “ Patients bring success.” 43 Freshman Medics Officers Charles A. Siler, J. Whvrton Bartholow, Earl William Engle, . President Yic**-President Seeretar v -T reasurer 44 S OMEHOW in recent years a rumor got abroad that to acquire an M. D. degreeone must lie as industrious and full of self-sacrifice as the law student. With these ideas in mind, there flocked to the Kansas University Medical School, from nearly every state in the union, and from every walk of life, professors, preach- ers, farmers, railroad men, discouraged engineers, college graduates, a doctor’s wife, in fact a heterogeneous class fully determined the pursue the flowery path that eventually leads others to the peaceful beyond. Each one of this splendid class, which has caused more rattling among dry bones and has raised a greater odor than any other class, when he arrived at Lawrence, brought a trunk full of the latest novels with him and made arrangements with the librarian so that he could be sure of enough reading material to take up part of the spare time. He then sought out the places where the most fun could really be had, engaged the most comfort- able room he could find and quietly settled down to smoke the pipe of peace with the world, feeling that indeed to be a Law student ora " Medic” was greater than to be a king. Scarcely had he devoured his first novel when he was summoned to the classroom by the Dean. It was then the superstitions began to quit the frequented paths around the Medic building, for groans and deep sighs began to be heard which were identical with those made only by the ghastly spectre. Embryos were traced across one slide, then across another, until when the poor Medic sought his cozy room at close of day, the whole night he could see great flecks of chickens mingled with a complaining herd of swine, each of which he was trying his best to sketch. One trouble followed another and in the same order tissues, until his eye no longer saw the beautiful face of his fairer companion at his side, but with X-Ray glances he was trying to classify the different tissues of her fair visage. Even the deepest recesses of the heart were soon revealed to him. The appendix, that most popu- lar organ of the human body, was very soon ferreted out, amputated, and carefully bottled. The arm, that useful instrument in every Medic’s school days, no longer remained a mystery. All this has caused the Medic to grow wiser. His deluded mind is clearing rapidly. He has decided that a cheap boarding house is good enough, that Duke’s mixture is as good as Yale Club or cigars. He has disposed of his last late novel at a sacrifice. He has concluded that his last-year’s suit will last over and he has quit the show entirely. And why this great sacrifice? Why? In order that he may pay laboratory fees. Whenever he passes the Law building he simply turns his head in order that the old thought “snap” might not pervade his mind, and goes to his test tubes and ghastly work-bench with the beautiful visions of hospital wards, midnight rides, death-bed scenes, and great rows of preserved appendixes hovering away off in the hazy horizon of the distant future. — Fred C. Rumsky. 45 46 THE NEW GYM NASI UM —By Courtesy of J. F. Stanton, State Architect.
