rative of the one hundred and twen-
ty.third anniversary of the founding

general alumni of the institution at

About two hundred cadets of st.

and the college band led the process
sion through the streets. The cadets,
in the gray suits, the members of
the faculty, with their gowns and
brght-colored degree hoods, and the
long line of students made an impress
sive showing as they marched through
the iron gates into the church yard.
The keynote of the exercises was
that of pride in the men who have
added lustre to the university by
their service. Memorial addresses
were made for Bernard Carter and
John Writ Randall, of this city, the
two distinguished regents of the uni
versity who have died in the past
year.
The chief address on the program
was that of DR.. Ernest Zueblin, the
new professor of practice medicine,
whose theme was 'Aims of Clinical
Teaching. In the course of his ad-
dress he referred TO the martyrs of
medicine who had given their lives in
order 60 win victories over disease
that would be of benefit to mankind
One of these, he sad, was a Uni
versity of Maryland man, Major Jas.
Carroll, of the United States Army,
who died in 1907 of yellow fever, as a
result of experiments to show that it
was communicated by a mosquito.
DIR. Carroll allowed himself to be Bit
ten by the mosquito in question after
he had successfully subjected himself
TO all other means of communication
of the terrible disease. What Amer
ican medical men are doing to ad-
vance the profession, said DR.. Zueb-
| lin, is being watcned with interest by
medical men abroad, and the Ameri-
can achievements serve to stimulate
the zeal Of the whole medical world.
The tribute to the late Bernard
Carter, for many years provost of the
University, was paid in an eloquent
eulogy by Arthur George Brown.
Judge Henry Stockbridge, who pre-
sided and who is the provost pro tenn,
also spoke of the great debt the Uni.
versity owes to Mr.. Carter. Phile-
mon H. Tuck paid the tribute to the
| late Hon. John w. Randall.

of the procession, and his aides were
Drs. r. G. Willse, Hugh Brent, AL
bert w. Carroll, Robert L. Mitchell.
