GIFTED MAN.
Hunter Mcclure. the gifted surgeon, is
dead! His name is part and parcel Of
American surgical history IT is the syn
,onym for accuracy in surgical diagnosis
and skill dn surgical technique. Wherever
teal men gather for the discussion of sur
Eical subjects quotation from his pen
or tongue carries such conviction as few
names could evoke. His personality was
most charming, and, though singularly
free from the grace of manner SO coveted
by many i'm social life, he won all hearts
by his simplicity, his directness, his ear
nestness. his unosts ntatiousness. At vari-
Gus times of his life he was a professor
In three medical colleges. and died serving
one. feel safe in asserting that his
strong personality and wide reputation
were the most potential factors in the
,ipbuilding of the University College of
Medicine to its present conspicuous posi-
ton. No teacher more instructive or
more pleasing ever lectured to a class. and
no man ever more genuinely enjoyed the
affection and confidence of his pupils. In
The amphitheatre they hung on his words,
and when later on they became busy
workers In professional life 1t was from
him that they sought counsel by CORE
spondence. and into his hands committed
their obscure ard complex cases for treat
ment. His generosity was limited only
by the opportunities for dispensing it. His
hand was always ready to do service for
the poor and needy, without money and
without price and his purse-str;ngs were
never frightened when the privilege Of Civ
ing was extended to him. No man could
count more on stauncher friends, and no
man more richly deserved their confidence.
He was gifted with rare executive ability
and an irresistible personal magnetism
Without these qualities he could never
have commanded the following that made
1t possible for him to empty the medical
schools of Philadelphia Of southern stu
dents in $780, and subsequently to grow.
