FIRST AMERICAN M. D.

The first native of Engiish-speaking America to receive the degre of Doc tor of Medicine was William Bull, who died in London just century and a quarter ago today. He was born in South Carolina in ITO, and in his young manhood went to Europe to study medicine, receiving his M. D. degree at Leyden, He practiced his profession with considerable success in his native colony, and in 1764 be- came lieutenant-governor of South Carolina, a position he retained until the revolution. Remaining loyal 10 the crown, in 17S2 he accompanied the British troops to England, where he resided during the remainder of his life. Lawrence Bohun was the first physician in the English colonies of America, arriving in 1910, and holding the position of physician-gen- eral of the colony of Virginia for one year. His successor, John Pot was the first permanent resident physician in the colonies. The first physician of New England was Samuel Fuller, Q passenger on the famous Mayflower. The first permanent medical settler in New York was Johannes la Mon tagne, who reached New Amsterdam in 1887.

A Family of Educators

Probably no other American family lives as the MacCracken clan. headed by Dr. Henry Mitchell MacCracken, former chancellor of New York Uni- versity and the University of Western Pennsylvania. One of his sons, Dr, John Henry MacCracken, was inaugu- rated president of Lafayette College at Easton, Pa, last October, and the same month witnessed the induction into the office of president of Vassar Sollege of his brother, Dr. Henry Noble MacCracken.
 The father of two college proxies was born at Oxford, O., seventy-siX years ago today, the son of the, Rev John Steele MacCracken. He was educated at Miami University and the U. P. Theological Seminary in Ohio, and then continued his pursuit of knowledge at Princeton Theological Seminary and the German universi- ties of Tubingen and Berlin. He was ordained to the Presbyterian ministry in 1863, having previously worked as a teacher and superintendent of schools in Ohio in order to gain money to complete his education. His first pulpit was that of Westminster church in Columbus. From the Ohio capital he went to Toledo, where he was ,pas- tor of the First Presbyterian church from 1868 to 1881. He resigned his pulpit in order to enter the education al field as professor of philosophy and chancellor of the Western University of Pennsylvania. now the University of Pittsburgh. In 1884 he accepted the chair of philosophy at New York University, and was chancellor of that institution from 1891 to 1910.
 Dr. John Henry MacCracken, who will be forty-one on Saturday, gradu- ated from New York University, and was for many years prior to his induc- ton into the presidency of Lafayette, member of the New York faculty. He had his first experience as col 1ege executive from 1899 to 1902, when he was president of Westminster College in Missouri. Dr. Henry Noble MacCracken was professor of Eng fish at Smith College prior to his ele- vation to the Vassar presidency. Like his brother, he was graduated from New York University, and was a mem- Der of the faculties of Harvard and Yale before going to Smith and thence to Vassar.

Viscount French of Ypres

John Denton Pinkstone French, commander in chief of the British forces in France, was born at Rip pie, in Kent, sixty-four Years ago to- day. Since his retirement from the high post to which he was assigned at the beginning of the war, Viscount French has been in command of the armies in the United Kingdom. AL though he failed to live up to his opportunities as the commanding field marshal at the front, there is no disposition in Great Britain to criti- else Viscount French. The title of viscount conferred upon him when he resigned the active command in France and Flanders was the recog- milton accorded by the government to a man who had put forth his best efforts. His best was not quite good enough when the British army began to assume large proportions. With a small force in the early days of the war he displayed great skill. Facing vastly superior forces of Teutons, he showed qualities of strategy which
 
 reached the stature of a hero in the days when he eluded the great army of von Kluck, successfully carrying out the rear-guard action and retreat from Mons. The "Ypres" in his new title commemorates the great work of the troops under his command at Ypres, when they had to bear the brunt of. one of the f1ercest of the German drives. When the British army had grown from 60,000 to a million the gigantic task seemed be- yond his powers. His experience had been gained in the little wars' O1 Britain, and he lacked that high or der of military genius which enables a leader to think in terms of mil lions of men. Neuve Chapelle and Loos were the Waterloos of a man who gained the title of viscount by his success, but lost a dukedom by his failures.
