The Nashville globe. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1906-193?, 1908-12-25

A man who thinks is busy man.
When he is young his mind naturally
goes out after the gaieties of the world.
He likes sports and sometimes he so
conducts himself in a way that makes
even his friends call him Sporty"
If he is any part of man he likes so
ciety. He delights to see the fair sex
happy, and will without urging con-
tribute his share to the happiness of
1.-THE ladies. And it is during this pc
: Rod in mans life that he acts; he
believes he is thinking and he makes
a selection. He wooes and wins-he
gets married and then he really thinks
of Settling down." He begins to
study the surroundings. Where shall
l live? What are the inducements
for living in this or that city? Are
the people agreeable and are the con-
veniencies conducive to the happiness
that every man seeks for his family?
In this age the thoughtful man
seeks to know if the specialists are To-
Gated there, for this is the age of the
specialist. And in this particular re-
spect Nashville leads all cities in the
South, and especially so as it concerns
the Negro for they have what the Ne
groes in no other city in this country
have, namely, Negro physician who
is genuine medical specialist. DR..
c. " Roman, who has been in this city
for several years, with offices in Ma
pier Court, is the only Negro in the
United States doing a limited prac-
tice. DR.. Roman ranks among the
leading specialists. He was born in
Pennsylvania, but moved to Canada
in early boyhood, where he was reared
and educated. He graduated with high
honors from Hamilton Collegiate In
stitute in Canada, but met the same
barrier that confronts so many young
men as they emerge from college-race
prejudice. None of the lucrative DO
-sitions that await the young men who
are prepared for high service awaited
him. A problem-What can I do to
employ my mind and render the serv.
ice which | have prepared myself to
render? The doors Of opportunity all
being closed to him in Canada, he
turned his face southwark.
DR.. Roman found abundant oppor-
tunity here and lost no time in coming
to Tennessee. He taught school sew
eral years, part of the time in the city
OF Nashville. While there he studied
medicine in Meharry Medical College.
He graduated from that institution
with honors, after which he practiced
medicine in Tennessee and Texas.
While doing a general practice, DR..
Roman had his mind set on a limited
practice, realizing that the demands
for specialists were becoming more
and more urgent. He, therefore, went
to Chicago, where he took post course
In the Post Graduate Medical School |

in the world for instruction in dis.
eases of the eye, ear, nose and throat
Dr. Roman believes in striving to the
highest attainments, and in 1904 he
went to London, England and there
studied in three of the leading hos
pitfalls in the old world, namely: "The
