Portraits of Former ProfessOrs-FacuI- ty Room, Yale Medical Sch00I-A Gift from Fhiladelphia-The Chemical | Departments of Science.
 In the Faculty's room at the Yale Medical
 School are reminders Of some of our most
 noted deceased citizens who were identified
 with the interests of the Yale Medical School.
 Here are to be seen fine oil portraits of the
 following, whose names are still dear to many l in New Haven. We begin with the oldest in
 rank, Dr. Nathan Smith, who was Professor of Surgery, Obstetrics and the Practice of Medicine. Dr. Eli Ives, (father of Dr. Levi Ives, Esq. who was Professor of the Prac- tice of Medicine and at another time of Ma teria Medica. Professor Silliman, Gather of Professor Benjamin Silliman), who was Pro lessor of Chemistry. Dr. Jonathan Knight, (taken at the age of 4O), who was Professor of Anatomy and subsequently, of Surgery. Dr. Hubbard, who was Professor of Surgery i; Dr. Charles Hooker, Professor of Anatomy and Physiology; Dr. Beers, Professor Of Ob- stetrics. Besides these there is bust of Dr. Knight, executed by Bartlett, (who is now engaged upon an important work in Boston,, and medallion of Dr. Warrington Hooker, who was Professor of Theory and Practice of Medicine. The portrait of Dr. Ma than Smith was presented to the in stitution by one of his classes as memento of the high esteem entertained for him. That of Dr. Charles Hooker was gift to the college from Mrs. Baldwin, daughter of the deceased, now a resident of Newark, N. J. Death has not often invaded the ranks of the medical Faculty of the college, as those above mentioned, with only 8 few others, among them the late Dr. Charles l.. Ives and Dr. Fully (the latter Professor of Mattria Medical have passed away from the living, out of the quite numerous body of physicians who have served the institution since 1t began its exist ence in the year 1913.
 A very handsome gift received from Phiia delphia has also just been placed in conspic- uous position in the Faculty's room. It is large and elegantly polished case of black walnut with double glass doors, all of finished workmanship and in the best style. In the case are displayed two hundred and seventy specimens in bottles of the finest make of the chemicals manufactured by the celebrated firm of Powers & Weightman. of Philadel- phia, who are the donors. The samples in question are solely illustrative of materia med ica, and nothing finer in this line was ever seen in this city. The gift was accompanied by MT. Thomas R. Cook, agent of the donors, who supervised the erection of the case, and the entire cost in the matter was defrayed by the concern. It is valuable ad- dition to the institution. The donors also signified their readiness to refill the bottles whenever any of the contents fail or become exhausted from natural causes. The case rests upon handsome brackets, occupies quite large space and is quite notable feature of the apartment. Another new acquisition was opened yesterday afternoon, viz, valuable case of surgical instruments complete in all respects, of the finest manufacture, which are private property, but retained at the institu- tion for the benefit of whom it may concern.
