made q practice of doing this every
year. Last year we had the pleasure
of entertaining Yost himself at Prince
ton for few days and learned a lot
from his visit. | will speak of this
more at length in another chapter.
A Year or so later / mentioned my
visit to Chicago for this game to DR..
j. William White, the noted Pennsyl*
vania surgeon, who for years has
been a great foot ball enthusiast. DIR.
White told me of a visit he paid
Rochester, Mimi, to undergo an OPP
Grafton at the hands of the famous
Mayo surgeons. He stated that he
never had met the Mayo brothers be-
fore his trip to Rochester and was
surprised when he reached their office
to have DR.. Mayo say: Il have had
the pleasure of hearing you lecture in
Philadelphia, DIR. White.
DR. Mayo explained this by telling
that he and his brother frequently
made visits to hospitals and attended
lectures and clinics without revealing
their identity DIR. White stated that
one or the other of the brothers con
stantiy was visiting other places and
keeping abreast of the latest advances
in surgery.
This story shows the importance of
seeing how others do 1T. No one has
a monopoly of all there is to know on
any subject. In foot ball as we'll as
in surgery we may learn from others.
