Famed Woman Surgeon
Speaks at Coburn
On Serbia In Wartime

The students of Coburn Classical
Institute were given an opportunity
to hear a wonderful talk on Serbia,
Tuesday afternoon by DR.. Rosalie s.
Morton, who during the war was on
duty in that country for many
months. Before the war DR.. Nor
ton was q professor in the New York
Polytechnic Post Graduate Medical
school and hospital and an attending
surgeon at the Vanderbilt clinic Of
the College of Physicians and Sur
geons. the medical school of Column
bia University. Obtaining leave Of
absence, DR.. Morton went to France
and served on the hospital ships be-
tween Salonica and France and later
went to the Salonica front. She was
one of six physicians and surgeons
who had charge of 1000 sick soldiers
at times. For distinguished service
to the Serbian soldiers, DIR. Morton
was given the rank of sergeant ma
jor. the highest ever given to an
American woman. She was also
decorated by the Serbian government
as a Chevalier of the order of st.
Sava and because of her work with
the Serbian soldiers in France she
was allowed to wear the French doc
tors uniform. She was MADE a COM
mander of the order of st. Sava and
decorated with the orders of ST.
John, the medal of Mercy and Of
Charity and the Serbian Red Cross.
After her return from across, which
was about year ago. Dr.. Morton
was made chairman of the Women
Physicians of the general medical
board of the Council of National
Defense.
DR.. Morton has been the means of
bringing 80 Serbian students to this
country to obtain an education and
they have been distributed to the
various colleges in the country from
Vermont to Texas and California.
She is responsible for them finan-
cially and this is her mission as she
visits the many schools and colleges
and gives her talks. DR.. Morton did
all her work in Serbia at her own ex-
pense and laughingly said that she
spent all her money.
DR.. Morton spoke to the students
and faculty of Coburn at the close
OF the school in the afternoon and
also spoke before about 300 students
at Memorial chapel at Colby in the
evening. Both audiences were held
spellbound by her graphic word pic
lures of the war as she saw it. She
wore the regulation khaki. which is
becoming scarce in this part of the
country. During her stay here, DR..
Morton was entertained at Thayer
hall at Coburn.
