MEDICAL COLLEGE OF VIRGINIA, |
February "a. 1893.


To ne Editor Ofhe D7sDd ch:
We notice in yesterdays DISPATCH some
remarks IN reference to photograph
taken in the dissecting.rOom. at this
college, and think from their tone that
YOU must evidently be laboring under
false impression. The body which you
refer 10 as mummliied mass OF fiesh
pitilessly sliced by the scalpel" appeared
so to YOU because you were unable TO
appreciate it, Ii really was a csiayer on
which the muscles and arteries had
been dlssected on most scientific princi-
pies. and every medical man would recog-
nize il "a such. The picture that you saw
was taken in accordance with custom
among medical students andis Intended
for a memento of their researches in this
branch Of the medical science, which.
however disagreeable and ghastly, is indis-
penssble TO the education of physician.
and has been the keystone of the advance
in the proper understanding Of the human
organism that has made medicine such q
blessing to society in modern times.
These photographs are not intended tor
general circulation. Those who have over
come the natural repugnance TO this sort
of work and have gone through II IN the
interests OF the science 10 which they ex-
pect TO devote their lives are bound to-
who have gone through the war. and on
much the same principles; and these pho
tographs are taken as the students appear
when mt work and simply as a memeDto for
themselves. and not for erhibiton. The pic
ture would not have been complete with
out Chris Baker" for. however ghoulsh
he may appear 10 outsiders. he IS recog-
nIzed here as a valuable assistant.
We do not understand where you get
your idea of vanity or of disrespect to tho
dead, as certainly the latter is never prac-
ticed ct our institution. We do not con-
duct our dissecting on the principle OF a
ratting-main. We regret that public at
tention should have been called to this
matter. as we are aware that outsider.
canuot appreciate these things. but think
that in view of what has been said that II
is only justice to ourselves that We should
write this explanation.

A YOUNG souTHeRNeR
who Has Forged TO the Front In Rail
roading Out wes,.

The Atlanta Constitution some time since
published q sketch Of two young SOUTH
erners who had distinguished themselves
in northern railroad circles. II affords It
pleasure again to chronicle the success OF
another in the Northwest, and the many
readers of this paper In Virginia will be
pleased TO hear of that success.
This Is l.. NJ. Martin, young vireinian
who is rapidly pushing himself TO the
front in the Northwest. This young
southern gentleman was born in Virginia
IN 1883 of good family. and, like so many
Others, was compelled by the result OF the
war To remove to another State. Ills
family left the Old Dominion in 1866 and
moved to Iowa, where Mr.. Martin OBJ
tanned a minor position as telegraph
operator tor the Rock Island road. He was
promoted to an agency when still under
age. and having attracted the attention of
some of the officers of connecting lines he
was in 1881 offered (and accepted) the
general agency at Boone. Ia. for the st.
Louis. Des Moines and Northern railway,
and was afterwards appointed CONNER
cial agent for the Wabash railway, with
headquarters at Des Moines. HIS terri
tory was the entire State Of Iowa outside
of Carnal Bluff. In 1887 MIR. Martin
was appointed general manager of the
St. Louis, Des Molnes and Northern,
and in 1890. when that road was con-
solidated with the Des Moines and North
western, under the name of the Des
Molnes Northern and Western railway,
Mr.. Martin was made general manager OF
the consolidated lines. This epergeti,
young manager is now arranging TO extend
his lines about two hundred miles during
the coming summer. II being his intention
TO extend to Clear Lake, Ia. in ons direc-
ton and to Sioux City. Ia. in an
other. MIR. Martin was one of the
delegates at large from the state
of Iowa to the Democratic convention
at Chicago in 1892 and was q men-
Der of the delegation appointed by that
convention to notify Mr.. Cleveland OF his
nomination for the presidency. II might
be we'll for some of the roads now under.

the services of this energetic young south
erner. who has. through his pre-emlnent
ability, made himself prominent in sec
ton of the country where the members OF
his profession are universally admitted to
stand in the front rank, could not be Sc
cured for the benefit of his own section.

The prospect of sending General Hunton
10 the United States Senate TO represent
Virginia grows better as time rolls on. In
every legislative body there are few men
who practically control its acts. They
are leaders by virtue OF their superior Wis
dom or experience. and without vaunting
their ability they are forced into command.
In ell the councils of the Democratic party,
both in the House and in the Senate. Gen.
eral Hunton has taken prominent posi-
tion. He evades no responsibility, is al
ways at the post Of duty. and his advice is
al ways sought after and followed. As We
said before, his strength is increasing
daily. IL now seems to 10 generally ac-
knowledged that the unexpired term will
DO conceded min without question. and we
are glad to see among the numerous advo-
Gates for his election to the full term the

pers in the State BdTo.ton VirginiDs.
