 HONOR CARMALT

Continued from First Page.) regret from J. M. Keniston, of Meri- den; from Gould A. Shelton, who wrote from St. Augustine and spoke ot pr Carmalt as lone of Gods best noble men," and from s. B. St. John, Who called Dr. Carmalt the grand old sur geon of New Haven
 Dr. Sullivan was greeted with the cry "who is the biggest man in the room? Sullivan" Dr. Sullivan began by saying Father called him William; mother called him Will; sister called him Billie; but the gang all called him Bill' The remark was met With a roar of laughter, the reference to pr. Carmalt being evident. He followed with a number of humorous stories. He said many of the doctors were deeply indebted to Dr. Carmalt. who had freely helped so many. He said lie felt the dinner was fitting tritGte to the work the doctor had done so well.
 Dr Spear then sang a lullaby and was so loudly applauded that he had to sing again.
 Some years ago I was on the house staff of the New Haven hospital said Dr. Wheeler. q well remember it be- ing my duty to hand in my special diet lists to the prudential committee on which Dr. Carmalt was a member, ana of the troubles I had with the doctor. But pr. Gilbert can tell you more or the New Haven hospital than can l.
 Dr. $. D. Gilbert said: During the twenty-fye years I have known Dr. Earmalt 1 have been so impressed with his activity that l am reminded or the Irishman who saw a turtle with lts head cut off. The stump of the neck was writhing vigorously and the Irish man shouted loudly: 'Begad, the ere tures dead, but he doesn't know it. Dr. Carmalt knows, and we know, that he is very much alive. For thlrty-one years he has been 8 surgeon at the New Haven hospital. Ills work has been great and the hospital is proud of him. He was ever faithful and true. There never was a poor person that did not get his best care. The gilt tering of gold outside the hospital never tempted him, Many time he has helped patients and nurses f1nan- cially. He has been generosity itself to the New Haven hospital, whose staff with us honor him tonight with a well done, good and faithful ser want" The doctor ended by giving "a ouotation and adding: "All hall, long life to Bili.'
 "There is tendency nowadays" said Dr. Wheeler, flor us to have large affairs. Thus it Is we find that we elect an alderman t-large here in New Haven; we elect an assemblyman -at-large to go to Hartford; and we even have president-of-Y -Yale-at- large. I refer to President Hadley. am glad to say we have the honor to have with us the Proxy here to- night"
 The announcement was met with a Yale cheer.
 President Hadley said: "At, the first function I attended in Berlin a mem- Der of the medical faculty here asked me Hows Carmalt? There are many of you who can tell of pr. Carmalt as surgeon. But he is a man with more than one side As 6 man he is a good fighter and friend. No one will ever know his services to the medical school. He has not only set the best of ideals for the students but the best of devotion to truth for truths sake and to men for mems sake. To Carmalt as a surgeon. 1 bring honor; to Carmalt as a man, I bring affection anad to Carmalt as an ideal for men l bring respect"
 Letters were read at this point from Dr. G. W. Russell of Hartford, who Is now ninety-two years of age; pr, T. Mitchell Pruden, and Dr. Robert F Weir. The postmaster then introduc- ed Dr. Smith, dean of the Yale Medi- cal faculty. He said he had often heard 1t asked why Dean Smith is SC bald-headed. He explained it as being due to Billy Carmalt, who has been a member of the Medical faculty fol years while pr. Smith has been dean Now the dean is getting younger ane more chipper. It is because pr. Car malt has left the faculty.
 Dr. Smith said he did not see how he could tell in words what Dr. Car malt's name meant to him, and to the medical school. The mariners com pass has been long in use. The iist of its history is that it has ever point ed to the pole So Dr. Carmslt has be in his way, the compass of the school. ever pointing true. Not that mean he has stood up and pointed tC the way to righteousness" said Dr Smith. For he hasn't. Not by 2 damn sight There have been tho storms that have come to have theil effect on him as on the mariner's compass. But his voice has alway, been for the right. Personal interests have never entered, If there were z modern Diogenes we might well finC him at S1 Elm street, blowing out hi: candle; his work done. He's strenu
