Zoology diseases of children, and finally sue
ceeding to the chair of principles and prac-
tice of medicine, which he now holds The

lines. They were in Butler College together
and taught together in after years, although
taxing up different branches OF medicine.

While the old building was the result of
great study and research among similar in
stitutions of this country and Europe, it
