The historian has not been able to note in proper chronological order the deaths of members of the faculty owing to other material absorbing the alloted space. He desires to take occasion, however, in this number to speak of two men whose lives were influential for good and who were called away to a higher field of action.

Charles L. Cleveland was born in this city July 5th, 1857, and died at his home on Dorchester avenue, January 14th, 1890, from pneumonia following an attack of la grippe.

Dr. Cleveland was one of the rising young physicians of Cleveland. He was assiduous, faithful and prompt in all his professional work. Had his life been spared he would have ranked second to no one in his profession. He graduated with honors from the Racine College, Wisconsin, in 1881. He then took a course in the College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City. Returning to his home, he entered the Cleveland Homeopathic Hospital College, graduating therefrom in March, 1883, receiving the Biggar prize. In 1885 the Trustees of the College appointed him as an assistant in the chair of Materia Medica. In 1888 he received the honor of professor, a position which he held. until his death.

Like all successful, enterprising young men in the medical profession, he became a subscriber to most of the medical

journals and connected himself with national, state and local medical societies. He became a member of the State Homeopathic Medical Society in 1886. In 1887 he was chosen chairman of the Bureau of Materia Medica, and read a valuable paper on "The Selection of the Remedy." In June following his graduation he became a member of the American Institute of Homeopathy.

In

January, 1886, he published and was the editor of a 32 page up-to-date medical journal-The Clinical Review, a monthly journal of medicine and surgery. This journal had a large circulation and was designed to take the place of the Reporter, but was discontinued after the death of Dr. Cleveland. 1888 he entered the Medical Department of the Harvard University, giving special attention to laryngology. He later delivered a course of lectures at the Cleveland College on diseases of the nose and throat. Dr. Cleveland was a favorite with the class, as well as with his associates.

STANTON L. HALL, M. D.

He

Dr. Hall received his early education. in his native town, being admitted to the academy when fifteen years of age, when it was necessary to pass a satisfactory examination for admittance. commenced the study of medicine under the venerable Dr. H. H. Childs, of Pittsfield, Mass., graduating from the New York Homeopathic College in 1875, and locating in Bennington, Vermont. Later he moved to Port Chester, N. Y., where he practiced until the spring of 1890, when he moved to Cleveland, Ohio, where his active work in the Homeopathic Hospital College is well known. He was offered the chair of Professor of Principles of Surgery, together with that of Lecturer on Diseases of the Nose and Throat. He afterward accepted the chair

of Physical and Differential Diagnosis made vacant by the resignation of Prof. Pomeroy. His manner of teaching, his earnestness in bringing before his class his own experience, together with charts drawn by himself, his love for his work and popularity are now matters of history.

Dr. Hall was one of the committee on the new College building, and to him is due the model and imposing College that stands with his name engraved in the stone bearing the names of the building committee.

About July 1st, 1893, the old friends and patrons of Dr. Hall urged him to return to his former home, Port Chester. After due consideration he severed his connection with the College and removed to Port Chester and soon established a large practice among his old patrons. He was a Chesterfield in society and a perfect gentleman before all men. Above all, his true-heartedness is his crowning virtue. Three years after his return to Port Chester he was compelled to surrender to the inevitableDeath took to his home a loyal man, a loving husband, an honorable and true. physician.

THE CLEVELAND MEDICAL COLLEGE.

1892-1893.

By A. B. SCHNEIDER, M. D.
Professor of Anatomy and Physical Diagnosis.

The third year in the history of the Cleveland Medical College was marked by increasing prosperity and a continuation of the almost feverish activity in the building of the new College. As soon as the second session had closed the old mansion which had been utilized for laboratory and dispensary purposes was razed and the foundation laid for the magnificent Bolivar street elevation of the Cleveland Medical College building. Although unavoidable delays prevented

the completion of this structure in time for the opening of the third annual session, the building was under roof and rapid progress was being made with the interior work.

CHANGES IN THE FACULTY.

Changes in the faculty, commensurate with the extended scope of the curriculum, are also noted. M. P. Hunt, M. D., of Delaware, was elected Professor of Gynecology, and C. A. Hall, M. D., Assistant; H. W. Osborn, M. D., was elected Lecturer on Diseases of the Rectum; W. C. Pardee, M. D., Lecturer on Dermatology, filling the position vacated by the resignation of Dr. Geo. W. Spencer; H. W. Richmond, M. D., Assistant to the Chair of Obstetrics; JohnE. White, M. D., Lecturer on Histology and Microscopy, and George H. Quay, M. D., Lecturer on Diseases of the Nose and Throat. Kent B. Waite, M. D., resigned his position as Professor of Anatomy.

OPENING EXERCISES.

The third annual opening exercises. were held on Wednesday, September 21st, at eleven o'clock, a. m. Judge Henry C. White, Vice President of the College, presided in the unavoidable absence of President Boynton. Rev. P. E. Kipp, chaplain of the College, delivered the invocation. Judge White in the course of his remarks, said:

"At this opening of the third year of the Cleveland Medical College, it is a subject of sincere congratulation that the institution has so prospered, but above all and beyond that, if we take a broader view of the subject of professional education, we can congratulate. ourselves upon the motive which started this College, and has made for our city the renown of being a center for homeopathic medical education. Having established our principle, we can now go

forward with perfect magnanimity, and without any bitterness, understanding that we are engaged in a noble work, one that has prospered because it was and continues to be right. It has received the plaudits of all right-minded people. It has made wonderful strides in its short life, and today it ranks the equal of any medical school in the land."

Judge White then introduced the orator of the day, Dr. O. S. Runnels, who first indulged in some happy reminiscences of his own college days, and complimented the faculty and class upon constituting an ideal medical college. He then said, in part:

"In the light of present day advances in all departments of the arts and sciences, the eyes of the blindfolded goddess should not be excused from service, but the rather quickened by all the lenses that can make plain the hidden truth. The faculty of vision is our main reliance; all education, therefore, is to teach one how to see. Schools of variant thought exist, because of different standards of value. All have glimpses of truth with different angles of incidence. Individuality is the most potent fact in nature. It is written upon every blade of the field, every leaf of the forest and every face of kind. The world would die of stagnation but for the breezes, aye, the tornadoes that sweep across its surface. Strength of brain, like brawn of muscle, is gained only by irritation, continued tension and severe exercise. It is true that physical death is not often resorted to in these days for the purpose of extirpating a supposed fallacy; but the thumbscrew, the rack, the stake, the crucifix and the gallows are none the less real as applied in modern methods of intellectual torture. Ideas are ever greater than the material that surrounds them.

man

The destruction of the material only liberates the thing for which it stands, giving it the wings of every breeze. Men in all times have acted as if they were the sole repositories of truth. It must be taken as it is, verbatim et literatim. The seals must not be tampered with, the clasps must not be touched. When the time is ripe for the birth of an idea, it seems to claim the entire earth for its brood nest. It is to the thinker, the seer, the one that moves in consonance with the natural order, that the victory belongs. He believes more, because he sees more."

Dean Jones announced that lectures would begin the next morning at nine o'clock, when Prof. H. H. Baxter would dedicate the third annual session with Homeopathic Materia Medica and the Organon. The audience was dismissed by Rev. Kipp, and dispersed over the new building, which was rapidly nearing completion.

A Large Class.-The work of the session was carried on with enthusiasm. One hundred and twenty students were in attendance-an enthusiastic body of men and women "who have come here to be fitted for that noblest of all human callings-the healing of the sick."

OPENING OF THE NEW
BUILDING.

The work on the new building had progressed so satisfactorily that it was ready for occupancy and opened with a splendid reception on November 29th, 1892. The entire building was brilliantly lighted and a profusion of flowers and foliage was artistically placed in the rooms and hall-ways. Refreshments were served and a fine musical program rendered. After the program the orchestra adjourned to the top floor, where dancing was indulged in by the students. and their friends. About 1500 people attended the reception.

ARGONAUT-INDICATOR.

Prof. Frank Kraft, who had ably edited the Argonaut during 1892, resigned the editorship at the close of the year. He was succeeded by Dr. B. B. Viets, under whose management the journal appeared quarterly and was rechristened The Indicator.

COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES

1893.

The exercises of the third annual commencement were held in Case Hall, Wednesday evening, March 22d, 1893. The large hall was filled, despite the very stormy evening. After the overture by the orchestra the speakers of the evening, the trustees and the faculty took their places on the platform, while the graduates, thirty in number, occupied the front seats in the auditorium. Judge Henry C. White, Vice President of the College, presided, and Rev. P. E. Kipp, the College chaplain, delivered the invocation. Dr. G. J. Jones, the dean of the College, was the first speaker. He alluded to the province of a medical college and said that such an institution was accountable first to the state, then to the medical profession, and lastly to the public. He stated that the College had 129 students enrolled at the close of

the present scholastic year. He spoke of the work done by the students and gave a number of interesting details in regard to the College dispensary. During the year 4016 patients had been treated and 6750 prescriptions made, all absolutely free of cost to the patient. Fully 25 per cent of the work done by physicians was purely gratuitous, and he advocated the establishment of more hospitals by the State, medical services for which would be largely contributed gratis by the profession.

Judge White addressed the class as follows:

"The significance of this occasion springs out of your interest in it and its relation to yourselves. You have now come to 'the parting of the ways;' to the place of intersection of the circles of duty. It is hardly possible to mark too strongly that point in the march of life where old duties are laid off and new duties assumed. Life is made up of relationships, and each relationship is characterized by its special duties. Duty in some form constantly confronts us. The science taught in that great University of real life toward which you now turn, is the science of duty. . .

"But life is not simply a treadmill, run by the law of duty. Education ought to so liberalize and enlarge as to loosen and better adjust the bands of duty. It should enable you to 'redeem the time.' It should so broaden and deepen the soul as to better fit you for the enjoyment of that leisure which it should be

your aim to secure. I pray you do not use the discipline and knowledge gained at the College simply as craftsmen in the art of healing. Magnify your calling. So use it that it shall unlock and open to you a thousand doors of opportunity for life and service. By your exalted devotion to it, may you become better physicians; but remember all the time. that this world is not a mere workshop, and that the highest use of your equipment. is to bring you to a better and higher manhood and womanhood . . ..

"We come now to the formal delivery to you of that degree which you of right can claim. No words of ceremonies can add to the real dignity of this event. To you who appreciate the real meaning of this recognition, it needs no obsequious posturing-no accessory of cap or gown—to render it truly and deeply impressive. The degree itself is more noble than the loftiest ritualmore honorable than the stateliest pag

eantry. It is the badge and symbol of the holy knighthood into which you now enter, that you may render loyal and faithful service to humanity. In the name and by the corporate and lawful authority of the Cleveland Medical College, on each of you, having actually and successfully passed her course of instruction, I now confer the degree of Doctor of Medicine."

The degree of Doctor of Medicine was thus eloquently conferred upon the following graduates:

Joseph Henry Ablett, Jacob Wheaton Barnhill, William Douglas Barnhill, Augustus Carl Barrett, Onie Ann Barrett, Henry Ballou Bryson, Celia Owen Clemens, Will Bosworth Dawson, William Lewis Ely, Wilbur George Fish, Chauncey Brayton Forward, Eva Emroy Furlow, Mary Elizabeth George, Edward Francis Gifford, Andrew Wirt Goodwin, Julia Cleves Harrison, Sherman Samuel Jordan, Peter Eugene Kerlin, Robert Charles Kerstine, William George Krauss, Joseph Davidson Lewis, Katherine Frances Ozmun, William Henry Phillips, William Jackson Richey, Marcus DeWitt Satterlee, Al Preston Steele, Charles Joseph Suetterle, Nathan Landis Wakeman, Hannah Ellen Walter, Charles Lincoln Yakey.

Judge E. J. Blandin was then announced as the speaker of the evening. He spoke at no great length but his words were valuable and interesting. He alluded to the greatness of the bounds of effort in this life and showed that true ability was always recognized. "The thought that is not weighed in the scales of the money changers is the most valuable thought.”

The least speaker of the evening was Dr. H. H. Baxter, who delivered the valedictory from the faculty. Dr. Baxter spoke in an impressive manner, and closed as follows:

"In conferring the degree which opens to you the portals of a noble calling, your alma mater commits to your keeping her honor and reputation and the chastity and dignity of the medical profession. She charges you to guard them with all the energy of which you are capable, and with all the talent with which your Maker has endowed you."

Music and a few appropriate words by Rev. Kipp, brought the exercises of the evening to a close.

ANNUAL BANQUET.

The customary banquet to the students was given at the Stillman, Tuesday evening, March 21st. About two hundred guests were seated around the beautifully decorated tables. A fine orchestra contributed to the enjoyment of the menu, which was quite elaborate.

Judge Henry C. White inaugurated the post-prandial exercises in his usual tactful and happy manner, introducing Dr. Perry A. Cole, '88, as toastmaster of the evening. Dr. Cole expressed his appreciation of the extended honor in well chosen words and called upon Dr. Byron B. Viets to respond to the toast, "The Cleveland Medical College."

Dr. Viets responded in an enthusiastic. manner, saying in part:

"There seems to be a conservative force that not only watches over the destiny of nations, but takes hold of, lifts up, and guides to successful issue such commendable projects as are undertaken with an honesty and sincerity of purpose. The Cleveland Medical College was so conceived, her existence was absolutely demanded, and her growth has been truly phenomenal. There is not a medical college in existence that can point to such phenomenal progress. Think of it! Within three years we have founded the college, erected a magnificent building, equipped it from top to bottom and filled it with students."
