Raymond Custer Turck graduated
from the medical department of the
University of the City of New York
Tuesday of this week, standing seventh
i'll class of S3 3,and is given ii place on the

senior class of the medical department
OF the university last fall, and has taken
the work of two years in one year, be
sides passing the examinations for all
work done by his class in the freshman
and sophomore years. This was neces-
sary before he could be regularly entered
as the standing in the University of the

faculty will give no credit for work
done III other colleges. Besides his de-
gree of Doctor of Medicine, DIR. Turck
has been granted two special diplomas
one III operative surgery and one from
the Maternity hospital. In addition to
his regular senior work, he has been on
the staff OF students from the hospital
who have been doing work in the slums
of the city, where his work has earned
for him the coveted special diploma
granted by the Maternity hospital.
DR.. Turck is expected to reach home

Of the words "sneaked into" The ex-
change between the senators was very

the use of his adjectiycs. Later, Mr..
