INTRODUCTION

IN the first volume of this work it was the intention to set forth the general character of a
representative American University — the inspiring motive of its establishment, its
organization and equipment, its historical progress and development, and its large
influence as a public institution and as a power in the social order.

Part II of that volume was concerned with the personal factors of the case — the character
of the men who, for the great service of their instruction, guidance and inspiration, whether
in the communication of positive knowledge, or in the discipline of the powers, discernment of
the aptitudes and cherishing of the nobler aspirations and faiths of their immediate pupils,
deserve themselves to be cherished in lasting honor.

Following in order now are the ranks of those so highly favored in being the objects of
all this interest and devotion. From the University we turn our regard to its Sons. And in
doing this, it cannot be expected that a complete account can be given of the character and
career of any ; still less would it be possible, within the compass of the work, even to make
mention of all whose names have been inscribed on these honored rolls. What is attempted
here is an exhibition of the widely-varied results of the work of the University, in its office of
instruction and education, as shown in its Alumni.

This is not a selection of what may be arbitrarily considered the best examples, but a
broad illustration from the whole range of academic preparation seen in every department of
active life. While it may not be doubted that those who are here presented have achieved
some eminence in their respective fields of activity, it will be borne in mind that the great
number of those not in this list have also in manifold good works illustrated the genial influ-
ences and positive benefits of their University training. Indeed the larger usefulness, and per-
haps we should say the great and supremely justifying end, of the University lies in what does
not easily respond to analysis, investigation or enumeration, but runs out into the thousand
invisible but mighty influences that make up the daily life of man, and so have part in the
development of human history.

The examples herein are, then, of a representative character — not only of the influence
of University training, but of the varied active powers in human association for well-doing.

ii INTRODUCriON

Although it is said by some — we think without sufficient reflection, or it may be from a too pro-
fessional point of view — that the glory of a University is in what it offers to the best endowed,
there is a broader truth revealed in this contemplation, which allows us to believe that the glory
of a University is in what it does for all, of any grade and aptitude, who are objects of its con-
cern, and in the remote effects upon the community at large.

The time is past when a University education necessarily implied a strict following of what
was known as the "learned professions." Indeed, this term itself has had large extension
within recent years. Law, Medicine and Theology, which made the noble scope of the mediae-
val Universities, no longer bound the activities of the great schools which have inherited their
name and still bear their prestige transported in place and broadened in scope. Journalism ;
Literary Authorship ; Teaching, in its various lines and grades ; Engineering, in the construc-
tion and handling of the fast developing applications of modern physical. science ; even more,
perhaps. Research, Exploration, Invention, in all fields of observation ; and among the ele-
ments. Forces of Laws of Action, whether in the physical or psychical spheres ; all these
demand a preparation for which the means and encouragements of the highest schools are none
too ample. The successful prosecution of any of these aims may well deserve the rank of a
" learned profession."

In fact we might warrantably say that in these modern days Science, Philosophy and Art
have all enlarged their content and their scope. Geology, Geography, Meteorology, Astro-
nomy, have each revealed new aspects of the world ; Biology, new reaches of life ; Chemistry
and Molecular Physics have opened to us glimpses of wondrous modes of action which we
scarcely dignify by calling them laws, inasmuch as they seem like generative powers ; the prob-
lems of Psychology are investigated on new lines, and even the traditions of history, in its
monuments, relics and languages, are tried by new tests and lead to new grounds of conclusion.

We might go even farther, and advancing to the problems arising from associated human
effort under modern conditions of material and historic development, consider how great a part
must belong to the schools of learning, where should be set forth the principles on which
human intercourse and effort are to be conducted — the practical points of intersection of
economic and moral laws, — Self-Advantage and Self-Surrender. Among these concernments,
susceptible of study — passing from simple to complex, from near to far — are such matters as
banking; insurance; instrumentalities of communication and transportation; methods of ex-
change and use of products ; the enfranchisement of industry and commerce, and the large
handling of labor and capital necessitated by our complex civilization, — all economic con-
siderations, in fact, affecting man's work and worth in the world.

INTR OD UCriON iii

Nor can we stop short of taking into this account all the vast elements and interests which
enter into the problems of modern politics, national and international, which demand the exer-
cise of the highest powers and largest sympathies. The dealing with such interests and han-
dling of such instruments is a great trust, the exercise of which will be held to strict account
before the tribunals of history and of the Master of Life. Surely such things require the best
that our great schools can gfve for doctrine, instruction and reproof It is by such things that
civilization advances — which is, or should be, a demonstration of the power and worth of
Manhood.

What we have especially to remark here, without entering into discussion or detail, is the
fact that in man's highest intellectual effort, in his mastery of knowledge, skill, and even of his
own powers, he owes a large debt, whether recognized or not, to the great centres of instruction
and discipline which make it their function to discover, produce, distribute and inculcate the
truths that pertain to man's well-being. So related are human interests that no humblest
worker in the associated effort, now so diversified and so widely correlated, can fail to be
affected by what the masters of science and inspirers of ideals, as well as the captains of in-
dustry and enterprise, develop and devote to practical ends out of what they know of the laws
of things and of man. And those who have profited as they were able by years of personal,
intimate relations with the chosen masters of knowledge in centres of educational influence,
going out into the world in their own work and on lines opened by the public need, become in
turn not only producers of their specialty, but new centres of influence radiating their light and
strength into the great common life to which they belong.

The whole reach and effect of these manifold activities it would be impossible to trace or
estimate. But even by such mere sweep of the eye as we have given, and in such a list of
names and services as is presented in these volumes, enough can be seen of the place and part
in life of the Sons of our Universities to justify the foresight of the founders of these institu-
tions, the generosity of their patrons and the fostering care of the State. Enough of the larger
beneficial result than that limited to immediate individual advantage can surely be apprehended,
to command not merely the affection of the alumnus, but the honoring regard of the com-
munity. It is this belief which justifies the publishers in presuming upon the kindly reception
of the work which they have contemplated with more than a commercial interest, and to which
they have devoted the best abilities at their command.

UNIVERSITY SONS

" It is needed that a great University keep in touch with the spirit of the nation.
The time is past for cloister education. More and more in view of the requirements
of the society in which we live, is the value of a University training measured by
what it does in the making of a citizen. . . . Harvard can only keep the proud place
she has won, by drawing her support from the whole country ; and she can only
receive that support because the country believes that her teaching and her influence
develop true American manhood. Let that belief be lost, and all the millions in our
treasury, all our departments equipped for instruction in every branch of learning,
cannot save our leadership. . . . Harvard will be judged by her children."

Edmund Wetniore ('60) at Harvard Alumni Dinner.

the head of the roll of the Alumni of New York
University, was the son of William and Margaret

Commencement of 1833. Three years later he
received the degree of Master of Arts. Meantime
he studied in the Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, Theolog-
ical Seminary, and became a licentiate in the min-
istr}' of the Reformed Presbyterian Church. The
medical profession had, however, a stronger attrac-
tion for him. He became a pupil of the illustrious

VAIL, Alfred, 1807-1859.

Class of 1836 Arts.
Born at Morristown, N. J., 1807; graduated A.B.,
New York University, 1836, and A.M., 1838; colleague
of S. F. B. Morse in inventing telegraphy; builder and
operator of first telegraph line ; inventor of most im-
portant telegraphic apparatus ; author ; died, 1859.

ALFRED VAIL, A.M., who deserves everlast-
ing fame as the co-inventor with Morse and
Henry of the electric telegraph, was a son of
Stephen and Bertha (Young) Vail, his father being
the proprietor of the great Speedwell Iron Works at
Morristown, New Jersey, the builder of the engine
of the first steamship that crossed the Atlantic, and
the financial backer of the first electric telegraph.
He was born at Morristown, New Jersey, on Septem-
ber 25, 1807, and was educated at a local academy.
He then entered his father's iron works. On attain-
ing his majority he felt inclined toward the Presby-
terian ministry, and accordingly sought a collegiate
education in New York University. He was President
of the Eucleian Society during his undergraduate
career, and was graduated with the degree of Bachelor
of Arts, in 1836, two years later receiving that of
Master of Arts. He next entered a Theological Sem-
inary at Bloomfield, New Jersey, but soon left it and
devoted himself to scientific pursuits. At the Univer-
sity he had become intimately acquainted with Sam-
uel F. B. Morse, and deeply interested in his electrical
experiments. He was already an expert machinist,
and made some valuable suggestions to Morse con-
cerning mechanical devices for telegraphy. In 1837
he formed a partnership with Morse, invited the latter
to the Speedwell works at Morristown, and induced
his father to supply the capital for perfecting the
invention of telegraphy. For years thereafter Mr.
Vail devoted his whole attention to the perfection
of telegraphy, and probably contributed as much
thereto as Morse himself. He devised and con-
structed the first " Morse machine " for operating
the telegraph, and he first applied the dot and
dash system alphabetically. He also devised the
system of embossing the characters on strips of
paper. In 1843 he superintended the construction
of the first telegraph line, between Washington and
Baltimore, under Government patronage ; he in-
vented the finger key for transmitting and receiving

UNIFERSITIES AND THEIR SONS

messages ; and he personally received at the Mount
Claire Station, Baltimore, from Washington, the first
message sent over the line, on May 24, 1844.
Thereafter he devised many improvements in the
system, supplanting the devices of Morse, so that
the telegraph as it exists to-day is almost entirely
the work of Vail and Joseph Henry, with, of course,
some additions by later inventors such as Mr. Ed-
ison. Upon the death of Mr. Vail, Amos Kendall,
the close friend of him and of Morse, publicly
declared that, " If justice be done, the name of
Alfred Vail will forever stand associated with that of
Samuel F. B. Morse in the history of the telegraph."
Mr. Vail was the author of " The American Mag-
neto-Electric Telegraph," published at Philadelphia
in 1845. He was married in 1839 to Jane Eliza-
beth Cummings, and som.e years after her death to
Amanda O. Eno. He had three children : Stephen,
James Cummings, and George Rochester Vail. He
died at Morristown, New Jersey, on January 19,
1859.

may do it." Dr. Houghton did open his church for

by the Colony of Massachusetts for the part he
had taken in the Pequod War. Captain Trask
was one of the first military commanders in that
colony. After receiving a careful preparatory ed-
ucation, James Dowling Trask entered Amherst
College at the age of fifteen years, being, with
the exception of Richard Salter Storrs, afterward
the famous pulpit orator, the youngest member of
his class. He was graduated a Bachelor of Arts
in 1839, and in 1842 the college conferred upon
him the degree of Master of Arts. Soon after his
graduation from Amherst he began the study of
medicine in the Medical College of New York
University. He was graduated with the degree
of Doctor of Medicine in 1844, and immediately
afterward began the practice of his profession in
Brooklyn, New York. Two years later he removed
to White Plains, New York, and there had a large
practice. He succeeded to the office of County
Physician of Westchester County, in the midst of
an epidemic of typhus fever, to which his two
predecessors in office had fallen victims ; he did
notable work in checking and extinguishing the
plague. He removed from White Plains to New
York City in 1859, and a few weeks later re-
moved again to Astoria, Long Island, now a part
of New York City, where the remainder of his
life was spent. During his professional career Dr.
Trask filled many important offices. He was a
founder and for some time Attending Physician
of the Brooklyn Infirmary, an institution for surgery
and unclassified diseases. The University of Buffalo
gave him the honorary degree of Doctor of Medicine
in 1856. In 1859 he became Professor of Obstet-
rics and Diseases of Women and Children in the
Long Island College Hospital, and filled that place
for two years, when he resigned it on account of
the pressure of work in his private practice. P'or
the latter reason he declined election to a similar
Professorship in the New York University Medical
College. He was one of the founders and a Fellow
of the American Gynecological Society, President
of the Queens County Medical Society, a life mem-
ber of the I,ong Island Bible Society, a Warden
of St. George's Protestant Episcopal Church, As-
toria, and an active member of various other
religious and benevolent organizations. Early in
his career he found time to do much valuable
writing on professional topics. His professional

achievements are a part of the history of medicine
and surgery in the United States, and indeed in
the world. The great Enghsh surgeon, William
Tyler Smith, in 1858 spoke of him as having
" added much to the reliability of obstetric knowl-
edge." Dr. T. Holmes, M.A. (Cantab.), in his
" System of Surgery " also refers to Dr. Trask as
an authority in cases of rupture of the uterus.
In 1855 Dr. Trask won the prize offered by the
American Medical Association, with his essay on
"Statistics of Placenta Praevia." Dr. Trask was
married in 1845 to Jane Cruickshank O'Farrell,
a daughter of Thomas O'Farrell, K.C.B., of Belfast,
Ireland, who bore him three children : Mary,

LUTHER WESLEY PECK, D.D., one of the
foremost clergymen of his day in the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, bore a name conspicuously
identified with the history of American Metho-
dism. His lineage is distinctly traced to John Peck,
of Bolton, Y'orkshire, England. Twenty generations
later appeared Henry and William Peck, brothers,
who came to this country with Governor Eaton,
the Rev. John Davenport, and others, landing at
Boston on June 26, 1637. Thence the two brothers
went to New Haven, and were among the signers
of the religious compact which formed the constitu-
tion of that colony, on June 4, 1639. Henry Peck
was active and prominent in the affairs of that col-

ony and his name often appears in its records.
One of his descendants, Jesse Peck, with four of his
sons, fought in the Revolutionary War, and he and
one of the sons died from diseases contracted in
that service. A grandson of Jesse Peck was the Rev.
Dr. George Peck, a prominent Methodist preacher,
the author of several books of note, and a delegate
to more general conferences than any other man
has ever been. George Peck married Mary Myers,
daughter of Philip Myers, a soldier in the Revolu-
tionary War and one of the early settlers of the
Wyoming Valley, and granddaughter of Thomas

LUTHER W. PECK

Bennett, one of the Wyoming pioneers, and one of
the forty who built the stockade and blockhouse at
Forty Fort for protection against the Indians. It may
be added at this point that a brother of George Peck
was Jesse T. Peck, an eminent Bishop of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church. Three other brothers were
also Methodist preachers, and the united years of
service of the five were more than two hundred and
fifty in number. Luther Wesley Peck was the sec-
ond son of George and Mary (Myers) Peck, and
was born at Kingston, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania,
on June 14, 1825. In his boyhood he was sent to the
Methodist Conference Seminary at Poultney, Ver-
mont, of which his uncle, Jesse T. Peck, afterward
Bishop, was then principal. Next he attended the

UNIVERSITIES AND THEIR SONS

seminary at Cazenovia, New York, of which his
father was principal. A short period at Chase's
Grammar School, at Middletown, Connecticut, fol-
lowed, and then, at the age of sixteen, in the fall of
1 84 1, he entered Wesleyan University, at Middle-
town. There he remained a year. Then his father
was made Editor of " The Christian Advocate," in
New York, and the boy accordingly came thither
also and entered the University of the City of New
York, as New York University was then known, under
the eminent Chancellorship of Theodore Frelinghuy-
sen. That was in the fall of 1842 and he entered
the Sophomore class of the University. While in
college he was distinguished as a student above all
other members of his class. He was a prominent
member of the Delta Chapter of Psi Upsilon at New
York University, and was one of the founders of the
Chapter at Wesleyan. He was the author of one of
the Psi Upsilon songs, " Serenade," which was set
to music by Professor Karl Harrington. He was
also elected to Phi Beta Kappa, and was President
of Eucleian. In 1845 he was graduated with the
degree of Bachelor of Arts, as the Valedictorian of
his class. His alma mater gave him the degree of
Master of Arts in 1849 ^'""^ that of Doctor of Divin-
ity in 1878. Immediately after his graduation from
New York University he entered the ministry of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, as a member of the
New York Conference. Thereafter he filled pastor-
ates at the following places : Pacific Street, Brook-

coke, Pennsylvania, 1890. After 1890 he was on
the supernumerary list, and lived in retirement at
Scranton, Pennsylvania, where he died on March 31,
1900. In addition to his pastoral labors Dr. Peck

wrote much for publication. He was the author of
" The Golden Age," a book of poems ; " The
Humming Bird," and "The Burial of Lincoln,"
poems ; a chapter in his father's " History of the
Wyoming Valley," and many newspaper articles in
prose and verse. Many of his sermons were also
printed. During the Civil War he was a vigorous
upholder of the Union and was much in demand as
a public speaker. In politics he was a life-long
Republican. He was a member of the Masonic
Order, and of the Order of Odd Fellows. Dr. Peck
was married on January 18, 1848, to Sarah Maria
Gibbons, daughter of a prominent physician of
Albany, New York. She survives him, and lives at
No. 302 Chestnut Street, Scranton, Pennsylvania.
Three of their children died young. The others are

GUERNSEY, Egbert, 1823-

Class of 1S46 Med.
Born in Litchfield, Conn., 1823; studied at Phillips
Academy, Andover, and Yale University; graduated
M.D., N. Y. U. Med. Coll., 1846; hon. degrees of M.D.
from Univ. of State of N. Y., and LL.D. from Coll. of
St. Francis Xavier ; editor, author, college professor,
founder of asylums, leader in the medical profession,
and in active practice since 1846.

EGBERT GUERNSEY, M.D., LL.D., one of
the foremost members of the medical pro-
fession of his time, comes of illustrious ancestry.
The first of his name in this countr)', from whom he
is directly descended in the sixth generation, was
John Guernsey, a native of the Island of Guernsey,
who came to America in earliest colonial days, and
in 1638 was one of the one hundred and eighty
Puritans who removed from Boston to found the
Colony of New Haven. John Guernsey was during
the rest of his life a prominent member of the New
Haven colony, and was one of the protectors of the
" regicides " Goffe and Whalley. His descendants
were prominent in New England in colonial times,
and no less than thirteen of them served in the
Revolutionary Army. His great-grandson, John
Guernsey, who was born at Woodbury, Connecticut,
removed to Amenia, Dutchess County, New York,
and had a son, Noah Guernsey. The latter mar-
ried Hannah Hollister, a direct descendant of
William Clinton, first Earl of Huntington (1350),
wliose descendant was made Earl of Lincoln, a title
afterward merged into that of the Duke of New-
castle. Noah Guernsey had a son who also bore
the name of Noah, and who married Amanda
Crosby, daughter of William Crosby, and a kins-
woman of Enoch Crosby, the famous Revolutionary
spy. To Noah and Amanda (Crosby) Guernsey,
the subject of this sketch, Egbert Guernsey, was
born at Litchfield, Connecticut, on July 8, 1823.
He was carefully educated. His college preparatory
course was pursued at the famous Phillips Academy
at Andover, Massachusetts, whence he proceeded
to Yale College and entered its Scientific Depart-
ment. Before completing his course at Yale, how-
ever, he determined to devote himself to medicine,
and accordingly entered the office of the illustrious
Valentine Mott as a student. He also became a
student in the Medical College of New York Uni-
versity, of which Dr. Mott was one of the foremost

UNIVERSITIES AND THEIR SONS

Professors, and in 1S46 was graduated with the
degree of Doctor of Medicine. He has also re-
ceived the honorary degrees of Doctor of Medicine,
from the University of the State of New Yorl<, and
Doctor of Laws, from the College of St. Francis
Xavier. Since that time, now nearly three score
years. Dr. Guernsey has been engaged in the practice
of his profession, while also attending to various
other duties. He began his practice in Williams-
burg, afterward a part of Brooklyn and now of New
York, and was soon appointed City Physician. In
1850, however, he removed to New York City, and

EGBERT GUERNSEY

has ever since been established there. At about
this time he became interested in the then compar-
atively new school of Homeopathy. Although he
had been educated and had begun his work as an
Allopathist, he quickly perceived what seemed to
him some advantages in Homeopathy, and there-
upon adopted the best features of that school of
practice. Since that time he has used what have
seemed to him the desirable features of both sys-
tems, believing with liberal mind that in the healing
art all beneficent means are to be employed, re-
gardless of technical names of " schools." He also
became a teacher of medicine, being for six years
Professor of Materia Medica and Theory and Prac-
tice in the New York Homeopathic Medical Col-

lege. He was one of the founders and the first
President of the Western Dispensary, afterward
united with the Hahnemann Hospital, of which he
was also a founder. In 1877 he was instrumental
in having the Inebriates' Asylum on Ward's Island
converted into a general hospital under the direc-
tion of the Department of Charities and placed in
the hands of the Homeopathic school of practice.
Since that time he has been President of the medical
staff of the institution, which has now been removed
to Blackwell's Island, is known as the Metropoli-
tan Hospital, and is ranked by the Commissioner
of Charities as one of the best of the great public
hospitals of New York. Dr. Guernsey was one of
the founders of the State Asylum for the Insane at
Middletown, New York, and was for nineteen years
a Trustee and four years Vice-President of it. He
was the founder also of the Training School for
Nurses at the Hahnemann and Metropolitan hospi-
tals and the State Asylum for the Insane at Middle-
town. He has been President of the New York
State and County Medical societies, and from 1864
to 1868 was Surgeon of the Sixth Regiment of the
National Guard of the Stale of New York. Dr.
Guernsey's literary activities have been noteworthy.
Before his graduation from the University Medical
College he was City Editor of " The Evening Mir-
ror," being thus associated with Nathaniel Parker
Willis and George P. Morris. He founded " The
Brooklyn Daily Times " in 1848, and for two years
was its Editor. In 1852 he was one of the editors
of "Jahr's Manual," and in 1872 he founded "The
Medical Times " of New York and has ever since
been its Senior Editor. Early in his professional
career he wrote a school history of the United States,
which long ranked as a standard text-book. His
"Domestic Practice," published in 1855, has passed
through many editions and been translated into sev-
eral languages. His miscellaneous contributions to
medical literature have been voluminous. Dr.
Guernsey was one of the founders of the Union
League Club of New York. He is a life member
of the New York Geographical and Historical so-
cieties, and the Academy of Science, and belongs
to various other scientific and literary organizations.
He was married in 1848 to Sarah Lefferts Schenck,
a descendant of Edgar de Schencken, who was
Seneschal to Charlemagne, and of his descendant,
Johannes Schenck, who came to this country from
Holland in 1683. She is descended also from the
Lefferts family, and from the Meseroles, a Huguenot
family of Picardy. Dr. and Mrs. Guernsey have

ELY, Smith, 1825-

Class of 1847 Law.
Born at Hanover, N. J., 1825; received academic edu-
cation; studied in law office of Frederic De Peyster, and
Law School of New York University, graduated LL.B.
N. Y. U., 1847; in mercantile life since 1850; School
Trustee, 1856; State Senator, 1858; County Supervisor,
i860; Commissioner of Public Instruction, 1866; Repre-
sentative in Congress, 1872 ; Brooklyn Bridge Com-
missioner, 1875; Mayor of New York, 1877; Park
Commissioner, 1897.

SMITH ELY is a native of the State of New
Jersey, having been born at Hanover, in
Morris County, on April 17, 1825. He comes of
historic ancestry on both sides of the house. His
father, Epaphras Cook Ely, was a leather merchant
of New York and was a soldier in the War of 181 2 ;
his paternal grandfather, Moses Ely, served in the
Revolutionary Army ; and his great-grandfather.
Captain William Ely, and his great-great-grand-
father. Captain Richard Ely, both served in the
colonial wars. Mr. Ely's mother, whose maiden
name was Julia Ann Kitchell, was a granddaughter
of Judge Aaron Kitchell, United States Senator
from New Jersey. Mr. Ely received in his boy-
hood a good academic education, and afterward
turned his attention to the study of the law. The
latter he pursued for three years in the office of
Frederic De Peyster, and in the Law School of New
York University, from which latter he was graduated
in 1847 with the degree of Bachelor of Laws. He
never engaged in the practice of his profession, how-
ever, but in 1850 entered mercantile pursuits, in
which he has ever since remained. A large share
of Mr. Ely's life has been devoted to the public ser-
vice. He has been a life long Democrat, and has
been among the foremost members of his party in
New York. As early as 1856 he was elected a
School Trustee in the Seventh Ward of New York,
and held that place four years. He was in 1857
elected State Senator for the term beginning with
1858, by a large majority in a district which had
never before chosen a Democrat. At Albany he
was the only Democrat on two important commit-
tees, that on Cities and the sub-committee of the
Whole, and thus figured conspicuously in legislation.
In i860 he was elected a member of the Board of
Supervisors of the County of New York, and held
that place for eight years, being reelected in 1867
in opposition to both the regular Democratic and
Republican candidates. He did much good work
as Supervisor in raising money and troops for the
support of the Government in the Civil War, being

UNIVERSITIES AND THEIR SONS

a member of the Special Committee which controlled
that matter. He was made a Commissioner of Pub-
lic Instruction in 1866. In 1872 he was elected a
Representative in Congress, and was reelected in
1874. During his two terms he served on impor-
tant committees, and was conspicuous among the
most efficient legislators at the national capital.
While he was a member of Congress he was ap-
pointed in 1875 one of the Commissioners for the
building of the Brooklyn Bridge. The next year,
1876, while he was still in Congress, saw him nom-
inated for the office of Mayor of New York. His

SMITH ELY

Republican opponent was General and ex-Governor
John A. Dix, but Mr. Ely was elected over him by
more than 55,000 majority. Mayor Ely's adminis-
tration was a wise, economical and public-spirited
one. In each of its two years the public debt of the
city was reduced, and, despite the increase of popu-
lation, the amount of the tax levy was also reduced
each year. The reduction of debt in two years was
more than $6,000,000, and the reduction of tax levy
was more than $3,000,000. This record in munici-
pal finance has never been paralleled by any other
Mayor. Before he retired from the Mayor's office
Mr. Ely received an offer of renomination for Con-
gress, but declined it and returned to private life.
He has since held no public office save that of Com-

missioner of Parks, to which he was appointed in
1897. Mr. Ely has never married. He is a mem-
ber of the Century Association, the Alumni Associa-
tion of New York University, the Society of Colonial
Wars, the Sons of the Revolution, the Society of the
War of 181 2, and the Manhattan, Democratic and
Presbyterian clubs. His home is at No. 47 West
57th Street, New York.

BULL, Alexander Thompson, 1827-

Class of 1847 Med.
Born at BuIIville, N. Y., 1827; studied in schools in
Sullivan, Ulster and Orange counties, N. Y. ; studied
medicine at Newburgh, N. Y., Castleton, Vt., and in
N. Y. U. ; graduated M.D., N. Y. U. Med. Coll., 1847;
served at U.S. Quarantine Station; began practice,
Monticello, N. Y., 1848 ; removed to Middletown, N. Y.,
1851, thence to London, Canada; adopted Homeo-
pathic practice and secured its legalization in Canada ;
received honorary degrees from several colleges ; settled
in Buffalo, N. Y., 1864; prominently assisted in the
founding of the City Homeopathic Dispensary, Buffalo,
1866, and State Homeopathic Insane Asylum, Middle-
town, N. Y., 1868; still in active practice in Buffalo.

ALEXANDER THOMPSON BULL, M.D., the
eminent Homeopathic physician of Buffalo,
New York, was born at BuIIville, Orange County,
New York, on May 3, 1827, the son of Milton
and Esther (Crawford) Bull. His paternal grand-
parents were Daniel and Catherine (Miller) Bull,
the former a soldier in the Revolution and the son
of Thomas and Mary (Kerr) Bull. Thomas Bull
was an Ensign in the French and Indian War, and
was a son of William and Sarah (Wells) Bull.
William Bull was a native of Wolverhampton, Eng-
land, and came to America and settled in Orange
County, New York, about 17 12. Dr. Bull's native
village, BuIIville, was named for his father's family,
and the township, Crawford, was named for his
mother's family. At the age of eleven years Dr.
Bull entered the Academy at Bloomingburg, Sulli-
van County, New York, and remained there a year.
Next he went to the Academy at Old Paltz, Ulster
County, and finally, for two years, to the Academy
at Montgomery, Orange County. In 1843 he be-
gan the study of medicine, under Dr. Isaac Garri-
son, at Newburgh, New York. Later he attended
lectures at Castleton, Vermont, and finally entered
the Medical College of New York University. In
the latter institution he enjoyed the instruction and
friendship of those illustrious men, Valentine Mott
and John W. Draper, and had the privilege of wit-
nessing the first surgical operation performed in

3°

UNIVERSITIES AND THEIR SONS

America under the influence of chloroform, Dr.
Mott having received a small quantity of that drug
from Dr. Simpson, of Edinburgh, Scotland. He
was graduated with the degree of Doctor of Medi-
cine in 1847, and immediately thereafter was sum-
moned by the quarantine authorities of the port of
New York to attend patients stricken with ship
fever. Three physicians had died at the station
within the thirty days before his arrival there,
namely, Dr. Emmet, a relative of the Irish revolu-
tionist of that name, Dr. Van Buren, a relative of
President Van Buren, and Dr. Porter, a member
of an eminent New York family. Dr. Bull remained
at quarantine for six weeks, doing his work bravely
and well. In the spring of 1848 he began his
private practice at Monticello, in Sullivan County,
New York. Three months after his arrival there,
while on a professional visit, he was thrown from a
sulky while driving alone in the dense forest and had
his leg and skull fractured. He was miles from any
habitation, and lay upon the ground for several
hours before he was found and cared for. While
awaiting assistance he set his own leg, with only the
rudest appliances and under the most painful con-
ditions but with notable success, and thus established
his reputation as a singularly skillful surgeon. In
1849 he undertook the establishment of the Academy
at Monticello, which has ever since been a most use-
ful institution, and in the same year he also set afoot
the enterprise of building the famous plank road
from Monticello to Otisville. In 1S51 he removed
to Middletown, Orange County, New York, and in
addition to conducting a successful practice became
interested in politics. He was soon elected Super-
intendent of Schools, on the Whig ticket, by a
majority of 156, while all the rest of the Whig
ticket was defeated. Not long after this. Dr. Bull
removed to London. Canada. He had recently be-
come a convert to the principles of Hahnemann,
and, finding a strong popular prejudice against
Homeopathy in Canada, he appealed to the Prime
Minister, Sir John A. Macdonald, for the formal
recognition and legalization of that school of medi-
cine. Sir John took the matter up, and had the
desired legislation promptly enacted. In recogni-
tion of this achievement the Hahnemann University
of Chicago, the Western College of Cleveland, Ohio,
and the Hahnemanian Society of Philadelphia, con-
ferred honorary degrees upon Dr. Bull. He was
appointed a member of the Medical Board of Upper
Canada, and was the first Homeopathic Coroner ap-
pointed by the British Crown. The latter office he

held from i860 until his removal from Canada in
1864. He gained great reputation for himself and
for Homeopathy in London by his successful treat-
ment of cholera patients in that city soon after his
arrival there, treating fifty-three without losing a
single case. He was also one of the founders and
editors of " The Canadian Homeopathic Monthly."
Although he became by adoption a British subject,
he remained a United States citizen at heart, and
during the Civil War he was President of the Washing-
ton Society, a Canadian organization formed to secure
patriotic support of the United States' Government

A. T. BULL

from natives of the United States living in Canada.
While at the head of this society he organized a de-
tective system throughout all Canada for the pur-
pose of detecting and preventing proposed raids
upon the United States by Confederates and their
sympathizers. Just before his departure from London
to return to the United States the chief citizens of
that city gave him a complimentary farewell banquet,
at which the Mayor presided. Dr. Bull left Canada
and established himself in Buffalo, New York, in
1864. In 1869 he was, without his solicitation,
appointed United States Examiner in Pensions.
A little later he was removed from that office,
through professional antagonism, on account of his
being a Homeopath. He resented the slur thus

UNIFERSiriES AND THEIR SONS

thrown upon that school of medicine, brought the
case before the American Institute of Homeopathy
at Chicago in 1870, carried the matter to Washing-
ton, and finally had the Commissioner of Pensions
who had dismissed him himself removed from office.
In 1866 Dr. Bull organized the City Homeopathic
Dispensary, in Buffalo, under a State Charter. Two
years later he, in conjunction with Dr. George VV.
.Lewis of Buffalo and Dr. Doty of Margaretville,
secured the establishment of the State Homeopathic
Asylum for the Insane, at Middletown, New York.
About 1886, in company with Dr. H. R. Hopkins,
who represented the Allopathic school of medicine,
he appeared before a legislative committee at Albany
and argued in favor of the creation of a State Medi-
cal Board, to pass upon the competency of physi-
cians and to regulate the issuing of professional
licenses, with the result that such a Board was soon
created and has ever since been in effective and
beneficent existence. In the winter of 1892, while
visiting Florida, he was called upon to perform a
surgical operation upon the son of the Hereditary
Chief of the Seminole Indians, for an abscess of the
spongy bones of the face. He did so with great
success, and was therefor made by the tribe a Chief,
under the name of Ocochobee. Dr. Bull is a mem-
ber of the Erie County Homeopathic Society, and
was for some years its President. He was also a
founder of the Canadian Homeopathic Institute, and
was its head in 1858-59. He is Vice-President of
the staff and Consulting Physician of the Erie
County Hospital, and Consulting Physician of the
Homeopathic Hospital of Buffalo. In the revision
of the City Charter of Buffalo he was Chairman of
the Committee on Health and Charities. He was
married at Middletown, New York, on December
12, 1849, to Sarah Gale Vail, daughter of Lewis and
Marietta Vail, and has had four children : Lewis,
who died in infancy, Willie Sheldon, Louis Alexan-
der, who became a prominent physician of Buffalo
but is now deceased, and Sarah Wells Bull, now Mrs.
A. N. MacNabb, of Bufifixlo. Dr. Bull is still actively
practicing in Buffalo, ranking among the foremost
members of his profession. His address is No. 184
Franklin Street, Buffalo, New York.

SMITH EDWARD LANE, A.M., son of Smith
and Susan (Fardon) Lane, was born in the
City of New York on July 22, 1829. On his
paternal side George Lane, from whom Mr. Lane
is fifth in descent, was the first known ancestor.
He came from England. The Rev. Dr. Charles W.
Baird, who was Mr. Lane's classmate in college, in
his " History of Rye," County of Westchester, New
York, says that George Lane resided therein from
1666 to 1716, when he died. He founded the
first church there for all orthodox people, and was
a senior warden. Mr. Lane's paternal great-grand-
father and grandfather were enrolled in His Majesty's
Fourth Regiment in the County of Westchester,
State of New York, between the years 1755 to 1760,
to fight the French and Indians. The original
muster rolls of that date still exist. Subsequently

UNIVERSITIES AND THEIR SONS

they served in regiments organized in the County
of Westchester, State of New York, during the War
of the Revolution, from 1775 to 1783. Mr. Lane's
paternal grandfather was sworn in as one of the
freemen of the City of New York before Mayor
James Duane and the Recorder at the then City
Hall of the metropolis on April 6, 1784. His
earliest maternal ancestor was a Huguenot noble-
man, driven out of France by the Edict of Nantes,
who came to New York about the year 1686, where
his lineal descendants have continued to reside.
Thus on both the paternal and maternal sides his

SMITH E. LANE

ancestors have resided continuously in and near
the City of New York for more than two hundred
years and Mr. Lane may therefore be claimed to
be a genuine New Yorker. His early education
was obtained at the celebrated school of Jeremiah
Jay Greenough in the City of New York. Thence
in 1844 he entered the University of the City of
New York, as New York University was then called.
That institution was then in its early years and
was presided over by Chancellor Theodore Freling-
huysen, a former United States Senator from the
State of New Jersey. Mr. Lane pursued its regular
classical course, which was a high one for those
days, and was graduated in 1848, receiving the
degree of Bachelor of Arts. In 1851 the Univer-

sity conferred upon him the degree of Master of
Arts. In 1875 he was elected a member of the
Council of the University and occupied that place
for about fifteen years. In June, 1898, at the annual
meeting of the alumni representing the five survivors
of his class of thirty-two graduates, he delivered the
semi-centennial address. The year after his gradu-
ation from the University Mr. Lane began the study
of law in the office of James W. Gerard, who in his.
day was one of the most distinguished lawyers of
New York, and in 1852 he was admitted to practice
at the Bar of the State of New York. He has
since been a practicing lawyer in the City of New
York, where he has always resided. Mr. Lane has
been actively engaged in politics since 1851, having
been identified with the Democratic party and
frequently a delegate to its State conventions from
the City of New York. He is an old member of
the " Society of Tammany, or Columbian Order."
and a member of the General Committee of Tam-
many Hall for thirty years. He was appointed
a Commissioner of Parks of the City of New York
in 1878, and held the office for five years. In
this capacity he became well known by displaying
two traits of character that are well fitted for such
a position — activity and sound judgment. In Jan-
uary, 1898, Mayor Van Wyck appointed him one
of the Commissioners of the New East River Bridge,
and at the organization of the Commission he was
elected its Secretary and was actively engaged in
furthering the work of the construction of the
bridge for four years. For services rendered to
the United States of Venezuela in 1887, the Pres-
ident of that Republic by and with the advice and
consent of the Federal Council, conferred upon him
the Order of "El Busto del Libertador," of the
class of Officer, and in 1889, for further services,
he was advanced to the higher class of Commander.
He was also appointed an honorary foreign mem-
ber of the government institution " La Academia
Nacional de la Historia " of Venezuela. He has
travelled extensively in this country and in Europe.
He is an old and active member of the Union Club
of the Borough of Manhattan ; of the Delta Phi
Club, the Saint Nicholas Society, the Society of the
Sons of the Revolution, the Society of Colonial
Wars, the New York Historical Society, and many
other kindred institutions.

MARCELLUS HARTLEY, Councilor of New
York University, was a descendant of
David Hartley, founder of the English Association
of Psychologists and author of "Observations on
Man," a physician and philanthropist of London
and Bath, England. One of Dr. Hartley's sons
was David Hartley, the English diplomat who was
a member of Parliament and was the Plenipotentiary
who arranged, with Jay, Franklin and Laurens, the
terms of peace with America at the end of the
Revolutionary War and signed the Definitive Treaty,
on the part of Great Britain. Another son was

James Hartley, of Boughton, England, a manu-
facturer and philanthropist. His son, Robert, also
a manufacturer, married Martha Smithson, a mem-
ber of the family which endowed and gave its
name to the Smithsonian Institution, at Washington,
District of Columbia. A son of Robert and Martha
Hartley was Isaac Hartley, who removed from
England to the United States and settled at Perth,
New York. To him and his wife, whose maiden
name was Isabella Johnson, was born Robert Milham
Hartley, of New York, one of the founders of the
New York City Temperance Society, the New York
Association for Improving the Condition of the
Poor, and other institutions, and largely instru-
mental in the founding of the De Milt Dispensary,
the Juvenile Asylum, the Presbyterian Hospital, and
many other charities. He was one of the fore-
most philanthropists of his day in New York. He
married Catherine Munson, daughter of Reuben
Munson, a New York merchant and member of
the State Legislature, and was the father of the
subject of this sketch. Of such ancestry Marcellus
Hartley was born in New York City on September 23,
1827. He was educated in classical and public
schools, and at an early age entered the counting
room of Francis Tomes & Son, importers of fire-
arms. In 1854 he established the firm of Schuyler,
Hartley & Graham, which has with various changes
of name continued to the present day, being now
known as the M. Hartley Company. For nearly
half a century it has been one of the foremost
American firms in the fire-arms trade, and from
its organization to the hour of his death Marcellus
Hartley was its dominant member. During the
Civil War this house came into great prominence
through its supplying arms to the Federal Govern-
ment and Northern States. Mr. Hartley was com-
missioned as Brigadier-General and was sent abroad
as a special agent of the United States Government,
and rendered great services by purchasing vast
quantities of arms and ammunition in Europe and
thus preventing the Confederate Government from
getting such supplies. Apart from the management
of this company, Mr. Hartley was for many years
a leading figure in the business and financial world
of New York. He was prominently connected
with the Manhattan Elevated Railway Company,
and was President of the Remington Arms Com-
pany, the Bridgeport Gun Implement Company,
and the Union Metallic Cartridge Company. He
was Vice-President of the Western National Bank,
and a Director of the American District Telegraph

Audit Company of New York, the Equitable Life
Assurance Society, the Fifth Avenue Trust Com-

the Westinghouse Electric Manufacturing Company,
and other corporations. He was a member of the
Union League, Republican, Lawyers' and other
clubs, the American Fine Arts and New England
Societies, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and
the American Museum of Natural History. He
was a benefactor of the Hartley House, which was
organized by the Association for Improving the
Condition of the Poor and was named for his
father, and was interested in many other philan-
thropic enterprises. He was married to Frances
Chester White, daughter of the late Dr. S. Pomeroy
White, of New York, and had four children, of
whom only one is now living, the wife of George
W. Jenkins, President of the American Deposit
and Loan Company. In 1895 Mr. Hartley was
elected a member of the Council of New York
University, and served in that capacity until his
death, which occurred suddenly, while he was

NEIL, James, 1828-

Class of 1850 Med.
Born at Steubenville, Ohio, 1828 ; graduated M.D.,
N. Y. U. Med. Coll., 1850; in practice since 1850; in-
ventor of surgical needle, and treatment for appendi-
citis.

JAMES NEIL, M.D., one of the veteran alumni
of the New York University Medical College,
is a son of James and Elizabeth (Kerr) Neil, who
came from Belfast, Ireland, about 1820. His father
was a linen weaver in the old country, but here
became a farmer, for the first ten years in Ohio, and
afterward in West Virginia, in the latter state being
an innkeeper as well as a farmer. Dr. Neil was
born at Steubenville, Ohio, on January 9, 1828. He
received in his youth an academic education of
excellent quality and scope, and at the age of seven-
teen began teaching school and studying medicine.
In 1847 he entered the Medical College of New
York University, from which he was graduated in
1850 with the degree of Doctor of Medicine. Since
that time he has been steadily engaged in the prac-
tice of his profession. For the first twenty-five
years he devoted his attention largely to obstetric
work, and the treatment of diseases of women and
children. Later his practice as a physician and
surgeon has been general in character and scope,
though he has continued to rank as a specialist in
gynecology. Many years ago he invented an im-
proved needle and handle for ligating deep-seated
arteries. In this device the needle was liberated
by pressing on a button at the end of the handle,
instead of tediously unscrewing the handle from the
needle as was done with the Mott and other deep
artery needles hitherto used. Dr. Neil's needle
was made by Wade & Ford, then of Fulton Street,
New York, and was immediately adopted by the
illustrious Valentine Mott, M. D., Professor of Sur-
gery in New York University, and by James R.
Wood, M. D., Professor of Surgery in the Bellevue
Hospital Medical College. Dr. Neil did not at-
tempt to profit by his invention, but gave it freely
to the medical profession. He was also the origi-

UNIVERSITIES JND THEIR SONS

nator of a highly successful method of treating
appendicitis and typhlitis without a surgical opera-
tion. As described by Dr. Neil in an address
before the Medical Society of the State of New
York at its semi-annual meeting at the Academy of
Medicine in New York on October i6, 1901, the
process is as follows : The patient is placed with
the hips elevated at an angle of 45 degrees, or as
nearly so as he can bear. A warm flaxseed muci-
lage or some similar fluid is then injected into the
bowels, slowly and without much force. After a
time the patient is placed on the right side and in

JAMES NEIL

a horizontal attitude, until the injected fluid comes
away. Then the process is repeated, until the im-
pacted faeces have been surrounded, when a large
dose of castor oil and peppermint is given. This
causes the emptying of the coecum and colon,
whereupon the appendix empties itself, and in two
or three days the patient entirely recovers. Dr.
Neil has found this treatment efficacious in a large
majority of cases. Dr. Neil is a member of the
Medical Society of the County of New York, and
of the Harlem Medical Association, of which latter
he was one of the founders. From 1862 to 1867,
inclusive, he was a United States Pension Surgeon.
For the five years ending with 1889 he was a Trus-
tee of Calvary Presbyterian Church, New York. In

politics he is a Republican. He has been twice
married. His first wife, to whom he was married
in 1849, was Elizabeth Montgomery, who died after
bearing him four children : E. Jennie, James, Jr.,
D.D.S., William, and Edwin Neil, M.D. His second
wife, to whom he was married in 1890, was Jessie
Tift, who has borne him three children : Virginia,
Albert, and Violet Neil. His address is No. 74
West 131st Street, New York.

financial and other corporations ; builder of many nota-
ble edifices ; member of Council of New York Univer-
sity, 1898-1902; died, igo2.

JOHN JEROME TUCKER, one of the fore-
most members of the building trade in New
York and a valued Councilor of New York Univer-
sity, was born at Shark River, New Jersey, on Feb-
ruary 26, 1828. On the side of his father, Curtis
Tucker, he was descended from English ancestors
who came to this country from Kent in 1634, and
on the side of his mother, whose maiden name was
Letitia West, his ancestors came from Jiolland in
1686. Mr. Tucker's education was received at the
hands of private tutors, and at the age of seventeen
years he settled in New York City as an apprentice
to his uncle, Joseph Tucker, a builder. He thus
became well grounded in the principles and details
of the building trade, and practiced them in an emi-
nently thorough and highly successful manner. Upon
the retirement of his uncle, in 185 1, Mr. Tucker
succeeded to the headship of the business, and re-
mained in it until the day of his death. He was the
builder of many of the most notable and most cred-
itable specimens of the builder's art in New York,
among them being the Lenox Library, the College
of Physicians and Surgeons, the Hall of Fame at
New York University, the Naval Branch of the
Young Men's Christian Association in Brooklyn, and
the residences of George Gould and Charles L. Tif-
fany. His eminence in his chosen calling, and his
rare executive ability and high integrity caused Mr.
Tucker to be chosen for many places of trust and
influence in the business world and in public life.
He was for twenty-five years Vice-President of the
Bank for Savings, for twelve years a Director of the
United States Life Insurance Company, for fifteen
years President of the Mason Builders' Association,
and for ten years a member of the New York City

UNIVERSITIES AND THEIR SONS

Aqueduct Commission, appointed by Mayor Hewitt.
He was also at various times a Director of the Bond
and Mortgage Guarantee Company, President of tlie
Building Trades Club, President of the Mechanics'
and Tradesmen's Society, President of the National
Association of Builders, and a Trustee of the New
York Orphan Asylum. In 1898 he was elected a
member of the Council of New York University, and
was thereafter until his death one of the most active
and efficient members of that body. He was mar-
ried on April 17, 1856, to Mary A. Spear, who bore
him two sons : Edwin and Walter Curtis Tucker.

ABBOTT, Lyman, 1835-

Class of 1853 Arts.
Born in Roxbury, Mass., 1835; graduated A.B., New
York University, 1853; began the practice of law in
1856; ordained to the ministry in i860; Pastor of the
Congregational Church in Terre Haute, Ind., until
1865; Secretary of the American Union (Freedmen's)
Commission until 1868; resigned the pastorate of the
New England Church, New York City, in i86g to en-
gage in literary work; edited the Literary Record
of " Harper's Magazine " and also " The Illustrated
Christian Weekly;" associated with the Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher in the Editorship of " The Christian
Union " (now " The Outlook "), becoming Editor-in-
Chief after his colleague's death ; succeeded Mr.
Beecher in the pastorate of Plymouth Church, which
he resigned in 1898; was preacher to Harvard, 1890-93;
and has contributed largely to the religious and secular
literature of the present day ; D.D., New York Univer-
sity, 1876, and Harvard, 1891.

LYMAN ABBOTT, D.D., LL.D., clergyman
and author, the third son of Jacob and Har-
riet (Vaughan) Abbott, was born in Roxbury, Mas-
sachusetts, December 18, 1835. He was graduated
from the University of the City of New York, as
New York University was then known, with the
degree of Bachelor of Arts, in the Class of 1853
in the eighteenth year of his age, and after prepar-
ing himself for the legal profession he entered into
practice with his brothers, Benjamin V. (Class of
1850) and Austin Abbott (Class of 185 i), in 1856.
Discovering that his ambition lay in the direction of
the Pulpit rather than the Bar, he studied theology
with his uncle, the Rev. John S. C. Abbott, and in
i860 was called to his iirst pastorate, that of the
Congregational Church in Terre Haute, Indiana,
where he remained for the ensuing five years. Ac-
cepting in 1865 the Secretaryship of the American
Union (Freedmen's) Commission, which necessi-
tated his removal to the metropolis, he was partially
occupied with the duties of that position for the
next three years, having in the meantime responded
to a call from the New England Church, New York,
of which he was pastor until 1 869. At this period
of his life the love and capacity for literary pursuits,
for which the Abbott family has long been noted,
combined with other circumstances to cause his
relinquishment of the parish and he engaged in
literature and journalism. The Literary Record of
" Harper's Magazine " was edited by him for a
number of years, and at the same time he con

ducted "The Illustrated Christian Weekly," sever-
ing his connection with the latter paper for the
purpose of taking charge of " The Christian Union,"
the Editorship of which he shared for a time with
the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher. After the death
of his distinguished associate he became Editor-in-
Chief of that journal, which is now known as " The
Outlook," meanwhile preaching as supply in the
pulpit of the Presbyterian Church of Cornwall, New
York, where he had made his home. The pastorate
of Plymouth Church, so long occupied by the famous
Brooklyn preacher, Henry Ward Beecher, came to

LYMAN ABBOTT

Dr. Abbott almost as an inheritance, as the society
seemed to regard him as the only eligible successor
to Mr. Beecher, and his acceptance of the charge
gave general satisfaction to the great mass of out-
siders who are almost regular attendants, as well
as to the members themselves. His labors at
Plymouth Church, together with his hterary work,
the extent of which can only be known to those
whose freedom from the cares of business enables
them to occupy their time in reading the current
writings of the day, at length produced such a
strain upon his health as to make absolutely neces-
sary the curtailment of his work, and with feelings
of reluctance he resigned his pastorate in 1898.
In 1876 New York University bestowed upon him

UNIVERSITIES AND THEIR SONS

the degree of Doctor of Divinity, and in 1891 Har-
vard, to which he was preacher for four years, con-
ferred upon him a similar honor. Besides the two
novels, "Cone-Cut Corners" and "Matthew Car-
aby," written in collaboration with his two brothers,
Benjamin and Austin, his more notable published
works consist of : " Jesus of Nazareth : His Life
and Teachings ; " " Old Testament Shadows of New
Testament Truths ; " " A Dictionary of Bible Knowl-
edge ; " "A Layman's Story ; " " An Illustrated
Commentary on the New Testament," in four vol-
umes ; " A Life of Henry Ward Beecher ; " " For
Family Worship," a book of devotions ; " In Aid of
Faith ; " " The Evolution of Christianity ; " " Christi-
anity and Social Problems; " "The Theology of an
Evolutionist ; " " The Life and Letters of Paul the
Apostle ; " and two volumes of sermons. Among
several pamphlets which he has issued at different
times perhaps the most notable is, " The Results of
Emancipation in the United States ; " and he has
edited two volumes of sermons by Henry Ward
Beecher ; and morning and evening exercises selected
from the writings of the same author.

graduates, and his father, William Acheson, was
instrumental in its foundation. When the institu-
tion was struggling to gain a foothold the Acheson
family gave it substantial support and is recognized

A. Acheson, elder brothers of John Crothers Ache-
son, who were graduated in 1833 and 1836 re-

spectively. Dr. Acheson's professional studies were
pursued in the College of Physicians and Surgeons,
which later became the Medical Department of
Columbia University, and he was graduated there-
from in 1859 with the degree of Doctor of Medicine.
From that time until his death in 1900 he was
engaged in the practice of his profession in New
York City. At the beginning of his career he

ELLERY DENISON, M.D., was born at Floyd,

colonists in North America. His ancestry is traced
from William Denison, who was born in ?2ngland
in 1586, came to America in 1631 and settled
in Roxbury, Massachusetts. From him the line of
descent runs through George Denison, born in
1 61 8, John Denison, born in 1646, and George
Denison, born in 167 1. The last named in 1694
married Mrs. Mary (VVetherell) Harris, daughter

Her mother was Grace Brewster, a daughter of
Jonathan Brewster, the latter a son of Elder William
Brewster of the " Mayflower." A son of George and
Mary Denison was Daniel Denison, who was born
in 1703 and in 1726 married Rachel Starr. She
was a daughter of Thomas Starr, son of Samuel
Starr and Hannah Brewster, the latter being a
daughter of Jonathan Brewster and a son of Elder
William Brewster. In the next generation came
.Daniel Denison, Jr., born in 1730, and in the next,
Samuel Denison, who was born in Rensselaer
County, New York, on October 24, 1774, and who
married Nancy Burlingarae, who was born on
March 3, 1798. The son of this last named couple

school in Oneida County while working on his
father's farm. Afterward he came to New York
University and was graduated from its Medical
College in 1853 with the degree of Doctor of
Medicine. Since that date he has been steadily
engaged in the practice of his profession in New
York City. He was an Attending Physician of the
Northern Dispensary for the Diseases of Children

lican since the organization of that party and was
an ardent supporter of the National Administration
during the Civil War. He is a member of the
American Medical Association, of the New York
State Medical Association and of the Masonic
Order. He was married on May 20, 1857, to
Ellen K. Gibb, who has borne him seven children :
Charles Ellery, Emma K., George B. (deceased),

bury, Connecticut, until 181 1, when he removed
to Pennsylvania, and was interested in the experi-
mental use of anthracite coal. His great-grand-
father, Eleazar Lewis, was a soldier in the War
of the Revolution and was honorably discharged
from the army on December 14, 1780. Dr. Lewis's
mother was a lineal descendant of Isaac Overton,
who came from England and settled at Southold,
Long Island, before 1650. At the age of thirteen
years John Benjamin Lewis became a student in
the Powellton Seminary at Newburgh, New York,
a boarding school of which Merritt Bradford was
principal. Subsequently he continued his studies'
under a private tutor, the Rev. John Woodbridge.
His professional studies were pursued in the New
York University Medical College, where he spent
three years under the preceptoiship of Dr. William
Darling, F.R.C.S., and was graduated on March 10,
1853, the twenty-first anniversary of his birth. Im-
mediately afterward he settled at Vernon, Tolland
County, Connecticut, where he formed a business
partnership with Dr. Alden Skinner, who had an
extensive practice in that and the adjacent towns.
In 1859 he removed to the Village of Rockville,
now a city in the Town of Vernon, and was there
engaged in the general practice of medicine and
surgery until the outbreak of the Civil War. He
then accepted appointment as Surgeon of the Fifth
Regiment of Connecticut Volunteer Infantry, his
commission dating from July 3, 1861. On July 29th,
following, the regiment left for the scene of war, and
he was on duty in the field during all the following
fall, winter, and spring. On April 4, 1862, the
President commissioned him Brigade-Surgeon of
United States Volunteers with orders to report to
Major-General Banks, and he was assigned to the

Second Brigade of General Shields's Division. Soon
afterward he was promoted to the rank of Medical
Director of the Division on the staff of General
James Shields, and remained in service in that capac-
ity until the division was incorporated with the Army
of the Potomac at Harrison Landing, when he was
assigned to temporary duty as Medical Inspector.
On September 16, 1862, while in charge of a field
hospital, he received orders to proceed at once to
the headquarters of General McClellan, and there

assigned to duty as Surgeon in Charge of the United
States General Hospital No. 6 at Frederick, Mary-

tinuance of the hospital, in February, 1863. There-
upon, on February 18, 1863, he was appointed
Surgeon in Charge of the United States General
Hospital at Cumberland, Maryland, where he re-
mained until the close of the war. During that
time this hospital became one of the largest in the
military service. While in charge at Cumberland,
he also served for a time as Medical Director of the
Department of West Virginia, and in that capac-
ity, in company with General Crook, he visited
and inspected the military posts and hospitals of

UNIVERSITIES AND THEIR SONS

that Department. Captain William McKinley, Jr.,
afterwards President of the United States, was
then a member of General Crook's Staff, and was
one of this party of inspection. In the course
of his field service Dr. Lewis was present, and
was on duty in the battles of Winchester, March
23, 1862, Port Republic, June 9, 1862, Antietara,
September 17, 1862, and ten other engagements
and skirmishes. On October i, 1865, he was
commissioned Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel, United
States Volunteers. By special orders of the War
Department on October 7, 1865, he was " honor-
ably discharged out of the service of the United
States." The war being over, he returned to Rock-
ville, Connecticut, and resumed the general practice
of his profession. He remained at Rockville about
three years. At the end of that time he removed
with his family to Hartford, Connecticut, and soon
afterward went to Europe. On his return to this
country in 1869 he entered the service of the Trav-
elers' Insurance Company of Hartford as its IVIedi-
cal Director, and Adjuster in charge of its Claim
Department. In November, 1901, after a contin-
uous service of thirty-two years, he retired from the
active charge of the Claim Department which had
been organized and built up under his management,
and has since given his entire time to the Medical
Department of the Company, of which Department

Benejah and Mary Bill, Eliphalet and Dorothy
(Marsh) Bill, and Dr. Dyer and Ruth (Coburn)
Bill, parents of the present subject. Dorothy
(Marsh) Bill was sixth in descent from John Mason,

was honorably mustered out. For five years he re-
mained in Fayetteville, Tennessee, practicing med-
icine and conducting a cotton plantation. Then,
in the fall of 1871, he removed to Bridgeport,

capacity until the vessel cast anchor in Charlestown
Harbor. He then settled for a time in California.
He was chief clerk of an express company at Sacra-
mento, California, in 1850, and as there was no
city delivery at that time was virtually Acting Post-
master of the place. Ill health brought him back
to the east, and in the winter of 1851-52 he was
engaged in farming at East Greenwich, Rhode
Island, and for a short time taught in the town
school. In 1852 he went to Providence, Rhode
Island, and pursued classical studies. He next
became a wholesale drygoods merchant in New

lege of New York University, and was graduated in
1859 with the degree of Doctor of Medicine. He
at once entered upon the practice of his profession,
in New York, and continued therein until 1862,
when he removed to Newport, Rhode Island.
There he continued in medical practice for a

" Hospital Hygiene," the first exclusively on that
subject in the United States, and in 1863 he pub-
lished a poem, "The Fight for the Union." He
has also contributed hymns, short articles and obit-
uaries to a number of papers. In politics Dr.
Francis was first a Whig, then a member of the
" American " party, and finally a Republican. He
has for many years been identified with the Protes-

Episcopal Convention. He has been President
of the Newport Medical Society, and is President of
the Newport Historical Society, Vice-President of

writer, and has just finished an elaborate " History
of London " in two volumes for Coates & Company,
of Philadelphia. Dr. Francis's home is No. 82
Rhode Island Avenue, Newport, Rhode Island. He
was present on July 4, 1895, at the meeting held
in the Senate Chamber of the Rhode Island State
House in Newport, called to found the Society of
the Sons of the Revolution in Rhode Island and
Providence Plantation, and was elected Acting
President. He served in that capacity for over
a year, when he resigned, not having at the time
leisure to attend to the office. The Doctor corre-
sponded with the officials of the General Society
of Colonial Wars in 1896, regarding the founding
of a society in Rhode Island. He obtained seven
candidates, and on July 5, 1897, a meeting was
held in the Senate Chamber of the Rhode Island
State House, Newport, and a Provisional Secretary
elected. On August 12th, the Society of Colonial
Wars in the State of Rhode Island and Providence
was founded and Dr. Francis, its founder, was
elected Governor. On December 30, 1897, the
General Society met in Boston, granted the Rhode
Island Society a charter, and Dr. Francis was for-
mally elected Governor, in which capacity he served
for two years. In 1899 he was elected Surgeon-
General of the General Society, which position he still
holds. Dr. Francis has also been a publisher. He
has published the second volume of a large quarto of

UNIVERSITIES AND THEIR SONS

some four hundred and fifty pages of the " Annals
of Trinity Church," with illustrations and portraits
of several of its rectors. He is now collecting facts
for a third volume, the two first having sold out, and
he is also preparing material for the publication of
his father's biography. In November, 1902, he was
elected a member of the Republican City Conven-
tion, a member of the Nominating Committee for
legislative nominations, and a delegate to the Rhode
Island State Republican Convention. He was
nominated by his party third Representative to the
Legislature, and lost his election by only eighty-six
votes, owing to a local ward trouble of disgruntled
Republicans. Dr. Francis's brother, John Ward
Francis, was a graduate of Columbia College. He
died on January 20, 1855, withui six weeks of gradu-
ation from the University Medical College, from
typhus fever taken through attendance on the

ISAACS, Myer Samuel, 1841-

Class of 1859 Arts, 1862 Law.
Born in New York, 1841 ; studied at Forrest's Collegi-
ate School, New York ; graduated A.B., New York
University, 1859 ; LL.B., New York University Law
School, 1862; admitted to New York Bar, 1862; Judge

de Hirsch Fund ; Lecturer in New York University Law
School ; received degrees of A.M. and LL.M. from New

York University ; author of various pamphlets ; in prac-
tice in New York since 1862.

MYER SAMUEL ISAACS, A.M., LL.M.,
jurist and philanthropist, is of Dutch
ancestry on the paternal side, his grandfather hav-
ing been born at Leeuwarden, on the Zuyder Zee.
His father was the Rev. Samuel Myer Isaacs, a
prominent theologian of the Jewish faith. On the
side of his mother, whose maiden name was Jane
Symmonds, he is of English extraction. He was
born in the City of New York on May 8, 1841, was
educated in it, and has been identified with it dur-
ing his whole career, though his beneficent activi-
ties have by no means been confined within its
limits. His early education was received at For-
rest's — afterward Forrest & Quackenbos's — Colle-
giate School, then existing at Fourteenth Street and
Sixth Avenue, New York, and there he was prepared
for a career of exceptional brilliancy at the Univer-
sity of the City of New York, as New York Univer-
sity was then styled. He was matriculated in the
University in 1856, took all the prizes of the Fresh-
man and Sophomore years, and was graduated as the
Valedictorian of his class in 1859, with the degree of
Bachelor of Arts. The University has since con-
ferred upon him the degree of Master of Arts in
recognition of his scholarly attainments. From the
School of Arts of the University he passed to the
Law School, and was graduated from it in 1862,
with the degree of Bachelor of Laws, which the
University has since raised to Master of Laws.
Upon the twenty-first anniversary of his birthday,
May 8, 1862, he was admitted to the Bar of the State
of New York, at which he has ever since — save
while he was on the Bench — practiced with distinc-
tion. He began his practice in the office of J. H.
& S. Riker, at No. 150 Nassau Street, whence he re-
moved to No. 78 Nassau Street, where he was asso-
ciated with Adolph L. Sanger, in the firm of Isaacs
& Sanger, and later with his brother, Isaac S. Isaacs,
when the firm name was changed to M. S. & I. S.
Isaacs and so continues. Julien M. Isaacs became
associated with the firm in 1902. Mr. Isaacs's spe-
cialty in legal practice is the line of real estate, wills
and trusts, and in that he has won an enviable degree
of success and has long ranked as one of the fore-
most authorities. In politics Mr. Isaacs is a Repub-
lican, though he has been much identified with
non-partisan work for municipal reform. He has
held no public office, however, save that of Judge of
the Marine Court of New York City, to which he
was appointed by Governor Cornell in 1880. He

UNIVERSITIES AND THEIR SONS

was nominated by the Republicans and Citizens
Union, in 1895, for a place on the Bench of the
Supreme Court, and although he was not elected he
ran several thousand votes ahead of the rest of the
ticket. He served on the Citizens' Committee in
r884, and has at various other times been actively
interested in movements for political reform. Mr.
Isaacs has devoted a considerable part of his busy
life to educational and philanthropic work. For a
number of years he was one of the most highly
esteemed lecturers before the New York University
Law School on " Examination of Titles to Real

of the New York Bar. A third, Stanley Myer, is a
member of the Columbia University, Class of 1903.

after his duties were both military and judicial, as
Acting Judge-Advocate and Acting Assistant Adju-

to be Judge-Advocate, United States Army, with the
rank of Major. From July, 1874, to August, 1878,

a text book for the West Point cadets on the sub-
ject of military and martial law and the practice and
procedure of military courts and boards under the

laws of the United States and International Law,
and he was accordingly relieved of other duty until
1887, when he was assigned to duty as assistant to
the Secretary of War in the War Department at
Washington. After many other services in con-
nection with the military administration he was

United States Army. He was sole counsel for
General U. S. Grant and General Philip H. Sheridan,
who were the respondents in the Court of Inquiry
in General G. K. Warren's case. Upon the election
of United States District Attorney Noah Davis to be
Justice of the Supreme Court, President Grant
tendered the appointment as District Attorney for
the Southern District of New York to Colonel Gar-
diner, who felt constrained to decline the same
because of holding other political principles. In
the fall of 1897 he was elected District Attorney of
New York and served from the beginning of 1898
to the end of 1901. He is the author of a treatise
on the " Jurisdiction and Powers of the United
States and State Courts in Reference to Writs of

since 1861 ; Registrar of Arrears, Brooklyn, N. Y.,
1877-79; Alderman at Large, Brooklyn, 1884-85; mem-
ber of Board of Education, i886-8g.

RUFUS LEONARD SCOTT, who was born at
Lanesborough, Massachusetts, on March 31,
1835, is the youngest son of Learned and Fanny
(Dickinson) Scott. On the paternal side he is
descended from WilHam Scott, who settled at Hat-
field, Massachusetts, about 1668, and on the mater-
nal side from Nathaniel Dickinson, who removed
from Wethersfield, Connecticut, to Hadley, Massa-

chusetts, in 1659 and was one of the founders of
the latter place. He was educated at the Lenox
Academy and the East Williston Seminary, and
then, at the age of eighteen, became teacher of the
public school in his native town. Preferring the
law to teaching, however, he made his way to New
York, and thence to Illinois, studying and teaching,
and finally back to New York again. He studied in
the offices of Attorney-General Chatfield and Judge
Neilson, and was graduated from the Law School of
New York University in 1861. Since that time he
has been constantly engaged in the practice of his

RUFUS L. SCOTT .

profession, save for the time spent in the public
service. He has long made his home in Brooklyn,
New York, and has been a prominent figure in the
public affairs of that community. In 1877 he was
appointed Registrar of Tax Arrears and held that
office two years. While in that office he proposed
the advertisement of tax sales in pamphlet form
instead of in the newspapers, which proposition was
vigorously opposed, but finally adopted and proved
to be a most beneficent reform. He also recom-
mended the enactment of a law enabling the city to
compromise claims for taxes on over-burdened and
unimproved property. At a later date such a law
was enacted, with the result of bringing large sums
into the city treasury, reducing the municipal indebt-

edness, increasing the taxable resources of the city,
and stimulating real estate values. Mr. Scott was a

ticket, but he declined a renomination for another
term. He was a member of the Brooklyn Board of
Education from October, i886, to May, 1889, and
then resigned in order to be free to travel abroad.
At the present time he is one of the Tax Commis-
sioners of the City of New York, by appointment of
Mayor Low. He has been prominently interested
in various public movements in Brooklyn, especially
those for securing rapid transit, and for building
more bridges across the East River. He was one of
the founders of the East Brooklyn and Bushwick
Dispensary, and of the Bushwick Savings Bank,
of which latter he is a Trustee and counsel. He
was married on June 26, 1866, to Maria E. Hull,
daughter of William M. and Phoebe Weiant Hull,

regarded as possibly his life work, he entered the

Missions of the Reformed Church in America.
His work in that country was of peculiar impor-
tance, and was most .successfully performed, he serv-
ing as Theological Professor in the Meiji Gakuin at
Tokio from 1877 to 1893. In the latter year he
returned nome, and was made Financial Secretary
of the Board of Foreign Missions of the Reformed
Church in America, becoming Assistant Treasurer
later on, which position he still holds, with offices
at No. 25 East 22nd Street, New York. While in
Japan he was Treasurer of various benevolent or-
ganizations. He was President of the Board of
Directors of the Meiji Gakuin, Tokio, and was Dean
of its Theological Faculty in 1890-1891 ; and he
was Vice-President of the Asiatic Society of Japan
for seven years and President of it in 1 888-1 890.
In this country he is a member of the Holland
Society of New York, and a corresponding member
of the American Society of Comparative Religion.
He was married on October 12, 1870, to Rebecca
Ely, who has borne him four children : Eleanor
Belville, George Ely, Bessie Ely and James Donald
Amerman. His home is at Bloomfield, New Jersey.
Dr. Amerman received the degrees of Bachelor of
Arts and Master of Arts from New York University
in T862 and 1865, respectively, and that of Doctor

his first American ancestor having been Heinrich
Vroom, who came from Holland in 1620, settled on

DAVID WARMAN

Long Island, and afterward removed to New Jersey,
in which state the Vroom family has been conspicu-
ous for many years. Dr. Warman was born on Jan-
uary 29, 1836, at Franklin, Warren County, New
Jersey, and received his general education in the
public schools and at the Belvidere Classical Acad-
emy, at Belvidere, in his native county. After
leaving the academy he engaged in teaching for
three years, in the public schools of New Jersey.
Finally he began the study of medicine, at first at
the College of Physicians and Surgeons — the Med-
ical Department of Columbia University — and later
at the Bellevue Hospital Medical College, then an
independent institution of high rank, but now a
part of New York University. From the latter he

was graduated in 1862, with the degree of Doctor
of Medicine, and immediately thereafter he began
the practice of his profession at Milford, in Hunter-
don County, New Jersey. In the fall of 1862 he
removed to Morrisville, Bucks County, Pennsyl-
vania, opposite to the City of Trenton, New Jersey.
There he remained until April, 1864, when he
became a Contract Surgeon in the United States
Army, and was assigned to duty in the Chesapeake
Hospital, at Fortress Monroe, where he served until
the end of the war. With the restoration of peace
he returned to his practice and settled in Trenton,
New Jersey, where he has ever since remained, con-
ducting an extensive and successful general practice
as physician and surgeon. He has always taken a
lively interest in sanitary science and the promotion
of the public health through sanitation. To that end
he has been an earnest advocate of public and pri-
vate bathing establishments. He has written much
for the press upon the latter subject, in order to
arouse or create a favorable public sentiment, and
at present is President of the Trenton Turkish and
Russian Bath Company, and expects to maintain
extensive public and private baths. Dr. Warman
is a Manager and Vice-President of the New Jersey
Children's Home Society, a member of the State
Charities Aid Society, and for many years President
of its Mercer County branch, and a member of the
Trenton Board of Education, the Mercer County
District Medical Society, the Trenton Medical As-
sociation, the New Jersey State Medical Society, the
New Jersey Sanitary Society, the Trenton Sanitary
Association, the Trenton Board of Trade (Chair-
man of its Sanitary Committee since its organiza-
tion), and other bodies. He served for a period
of time as a United States Pension Examiner, and
Secretary for New Jersey of the National Confer-
ence of Charities and Correction. He was the
founder of the sewer system of Trenton, having pub-
licly advocated it many years in advance of its
adoption. He was always particularly active in
church work. For forty-two years he was a member
of the Presbyterian Church, serving as a Ruling Elder
much of the time, and for many years a teacher
and superintendent of Sabbath School work. He
was married on March 25, 1862, to Rebecca Fair
Love, daughter of Rev. Robert Love, of Harmony,
Warren County, New Jersey, who has borne him
seven children : Lizzie, Anna, Robert, Cora, Arthur,
Richard and Wilbur Warman, four of whom are
living. His address is Chestnut Avenue, corner

Caroline (Phelps) Stokes, and was born in New
York City. He entered New York University in
1859, and was graduated with the degree of Bachelor

GEORGE BOARDMAN CORNELL, M.D.,
was born at the quaint old town of Edgar-
town, Massachusetts, on the Island of Martha's
Vineyard, on April 24, 1833. He is the son of
Gardner Thurston Cornell, and a direct descendant
of Thomas Cornell, the first of the family in Amer-
ica, who came from Essex, England, and arrived in
Boston about 1638. Dr. Cornell's mother was,
before her marriage, Mary Cofiftn, a member of the
well-known Coffin family which for many genera-
tions has been prominent on the Island of Nantucket.
She was in the seventh generation from Tristram
Coffin, of Nantucket, the progenitor of the entire
Coffin family of the United States. Dr. Cornell's

a clerk and afterward salesman in the mercantile
house of D. M. Knight & Company, now Calhoun,

City, New Jersey, and there conducted a highly
successful practice for sixteen years. Thence, for
the sake of rest and quiet, he removed for a time to
Martha's Vineyard, but after two and a half years
there, in 1888, he settled in Brooklyn, New York,

led by Divine Providence, in 1855, while he was
engaged in his business career in New York, to join

been daily maintained to the present time and has
long been well known all over the Christian world.
Dr. Cornell was educated in medicine in the " old
school," or Allopathy. After practicing it for
about seven years he was moved to investigate the
" new school," or Homeopathy, with the result that
in 1 87 1 he avowed himself a disciple of Hahnemann,

HENRY BIGELOW ALLEN, M.D., comes of
New England ancestry. On the side of his
father, Henry Young Allen, he is descended from a
Quaker family of New Bedford, Massachusetts, his
paternal grandparents having been James and Han-
nah (Howland) Allen. On the side of his mother,
whose maiden name was Marie Louise Bigelow, Dr.
Allen is a grandchild of the Hon. Otis Bigelow, who
was born at Worcester, Massachusetts, and Mary

HENRY B. ALLEN

(Payn) Bigelow, his wife, who was born at Fort
Miller, on the Hudson River. The family names of
Allen, Bigelow, Howland and Payn are still widely
and well known in the respective localities named,
as well as elsewhere. Dr. Allen was born at Bald-
winsville, Onondaga County, New York, on Septem-
ber 12, 1843, and in his early boyhood attended the
free public school of that village. At the age of ten
years he was placed under the care of a private
tutor. Philander Durkee, at Saratoga Springs, and
thus completed his general education to so good
effect that in 1861, being then eighteen years of
age, he was well qualified to teach school, at Pleas-
ant Valley, New York. He had, however, a profes-
sional career in view, and to that end he began the

UNIVERSITIES AND THEIR SONS

study of medicine under Dr. J. O. Slocum and Dr.
J. P. Shuraway. From their preceptorships he pro-
ceeded to the Albany Medical College for one year
and then to Bellevue Hospital Medical College, and
was there graduated with the degree of Doctor of
Medicine, in 1866. A year of post-graduate study
in the same institution followed before he consid-
ered himself satisfactorily fitted for the practice of
his profession. His practice began at St. Louis,
Missouri, 186 7-1 868. Thence he returned to his
native state and practiced at Euclid, New York,
1869-1870. His third scene of activity was his
birthplace, Baldwinsville, where he was in contin-
uous practice from 1871 to 1892. From January,
1892, to November, 1893, he was in charge of a hos-
pital at Wickes, Montana, and finally, from 1893
to 1897, he was at Syracuse, New York. From
1894 to 1902 he was Obstetrician to the Hospital
of the Good Shepherd, at Syracuse. Meantime he
was a teacher as well as a practitioner. In 1885-
1886 he was Lecturer on Obstetrics in the Syracuse
College of Medicine, the Medical School of Syracuse
University, and from 1886 to 1902 he was Professor
of Obstetrics in the same institution. Dr. Allen's
career was seriously interfered with in 1897 by ill
health. He had contemplated an extended trip
abroad, for the purpose of studying in the hospitals
and medical schools of Europe. Instead, in the
year named the state of his health compelled him
to abandon those plans, to withdraw from the active
practice of his profession, and to retire to his old
home at Baldwinsville. He was able, however, to
continue his college work until February, 1902, when
increasing illness compelled him to forego further
labors. In addition to the professional work already
noted, Dr. Allen was Hospital Steward to the One
Hundred and Forty-Ninth Regiment, New York
Volunteers, in 1865. He is a member of the Onon-
daga County Medical Society, and was its President
in 1886. He is also a member of the .American
Medical Association, of the Medical Association of
Central New York, of the Syracuse Academy of
medicine and of the Iota Chapter of the Alpha
Kappa Kappa Fraternity. He was married on June
15, 1870, to Julia Charlotte Smith, who bore him
one child. The latter, James Howland Allen, was
born on November 21, 1871, and died on July
3. 1S94.

with which to inoculate persons suffering from the
same disease. He is at present Visiting Physician

dent of Niagara County Medical Society, and Health
Officer of Lockport, N. Y. ; Owner and Surgeon of
Walnut Hospital, Lockport ; engaged in general surgi-
cal practice, with special attention to gynecology.

FLAVIUS J. BAKER, M.D., is on both sides
of the house descended from the earliest
New England colonists. On the paternal side his
first American ancestors were Alexander and
Elizabeth Baker. Their son, Joshua Baker, mar-
ried a sister of Elizabeth Touge, the wife of Fitz
John Winthrop, Governor of Connecticut and son
of John Winthrop, Governor of Massachusetts.
Alexander and Elizabeth Baker had also a daughter,
Mary Baker, who was the mother of Ethan Allen,
the hero of Ticonderoga. Dr. Baker is directly
descended from Mary Baker, in the fifth generation.
His paternal grandfather, while surveying a large
VOL. II. — 7

tract of land for the Poultney Estate in New York
State about 1802-04, selected a half mile square on
the present site of Andover, New York, and removed
his family thither from Poultney, Vermont. He
was the first Justice of the Peace of Andover, and
was a conspicuous leader in the anti-slavery and
abolition movement. His son, Thaddeus Baker,
who was six months old at the time of the removal
from Poultney to Andover, became a prominent
physician in that part of New York for half a cen-
tury, and was the father of the subject of this sketch.
On the side of his mother, whose maiden name was

F. J. BAKER

Sarah Storrs Spicer, Dr. Baker is descended directly
from "Mayflower" Pilgrims. His maternal grand-
father was both a physician and an ordained Con-
gregational clergyman, who had a prominent part
in mission work in the early history of Western New
York. The son of Thaddeus and Sarah S. Baker,
Flavius J. Baker, was born at Andover, New York,
on July t8, 1843. , His early education was re-
ceived in the common schools of his native town.
Later he pursued a course in the University at Lima,
New York, which has since been developed into
Syracuse University. Feeling a strong inclination
toward the medical profession, he began studying
for it in his father's office at Andover. Thence he
went to the Medical Department of the New York

UNIVERSITIES JND THEIR SONS

University, and was duly graduated from it with iiis
Doctor's degree in the Class of 1867. Twenty-one
years later he took a special course in gynecology at
the University of Pennsylvania, and was graduated
there. It may be added that during his school and
college career he himself taught school for a con-
siderable time in his native town and county. Upon
graduation from New York University, Dr. Baker
engaged in the practice of his profession for five
years in partnership with his father, at Andover,
New York. For the greater part of that time he
was Secretary of the Allegany County Medical So-
ciety, and also a member of the Medical Union of
Hornellsville. Next he practiced at Suffern, Rock-
land County, New York, for two years, and then
returned to Andover for a short time. His next
move was to Buffalo, New York, where he remained
for two years. Failing health then compelled him
to retire to the country, and for a year he was a
partner of Dr. A. G. Skinner at Youngstown, New
York. At the end of that time he succeeded to his
partner's entire practice, and held it for four or five
years. Finally, in 1882, he settled at Lockport,
New York, where he has ever since remained. He
is there the Proprietor and Surgeon of the Walnut
Hospital, on Walnut Street. He is engaged in gen-
eral operative surgery, but devotes especial attention
to gynecology and the diseases of women. He en-
joys a lucrative practice, and because of his recog-
nized abilities his services are in frequent demand
in council and in court as an expert on medical
questions. He is a member of the New York State
Medical Society, of the Niagara County Medical
Society, of the Economic League of Lockport, and
of the Allegany Club of Buffalo. He is an honorary
member of the Medical Union of Buffalo, and has
been President and Secretary of the Niagara County
Medical Society and Health Officer of Lockport.
He is President of the Board of Directors of the
Young Men's Christian Association of Lockport, and
a Trustee and Superintendent of the Sunday School
of the First Congregational Church of that city. In
politics he is and has ever been a staunch Republi-
can, deeply interested in all questions of local or
national good, but has never aspired to public office.
He was married on May 24, 1863, to M. Louise
Preston, who bore him two children : F. Edith and
S. Agnes Baker. Mrs. Baker died in 1870, after
which he was married to Hattie A. Howard. After

and in local schools. At the age of fifteen he en-
tered Hamilton College, and was graduated with the
degree of Bachelor of Arts in 1864. It may be
added that he ranked among the best students of
his class. He studied law in the New York Univer-
sity Law School, paying his way by tutoring, and
was graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Laws
in 1867. In that year he was admitted to the Bar
and began practice. He rapidly rose to the fore-
most rank at the New York Bar, and was the suc-

cessful counsel in many important suits, both public
and private. He was a candidate for Judge of the
Court of Common Pleas in 1879, ^"'^ polled a large

him United States District Attorney in New York
City, and he served in that office until 1885, when
he resigned. Since that time he has been a par-

dren; inventor of important instruments; author of

in Orthopaedic Surgery.

NEWTON MELMAN SHAFFER, M.D., the
eminent Orthopaedic Surgeon, is of Dutch
and English ancestry. One of his great-grand-
fatherSj William Shaffer, came from Holland in
1750 and established the first paper mill on Man-
hattan Island, New York, in which city his son and
grandson, the grandfather and father of Dr. Shaffer,
were born. On the paternal side Dr. Shaffer is also
descended from the Newton family, while on the
maternal side he comes from the Hales and Mel-
mans, his maternal grandfather having been Major
Lewis Hale, of Glasco, Ulster County, New York.
Dr. Shaffer is the son of James Newton Shaffer and

Jane Emeline (Hale) Shaffer, and was born at Kin-
derhook, New York, on February 14, 1846. He
studied in the public schools of Dutchess and Co-
lumbia counties, and in the Hudson River Institute
at Claverack, New York, until 1862. In the latter
year he removed to New York City and entered the
Free Academy, now known as the College of the
City of New York, in which he remained one year.
In 1864 he entered the Medical College of New York
University, and was graduated from it in 1867 with
the degree of Doctor of Medicine. In the Uni-
versity he was under the tutorship of Dr. James

NEWTON M. SHAFFER

Knight, the Founder of the Hospital for the Rup-
tured and Crippled, and immediately after gradua-
tion he was made Assistant Resident Surgeon to
that hospital. He there served for nearly two
years, leaving it in 1868 to continue his studies
and to enlarge his scope of professional observation.
For the next two years he conducted a drug store
and gained a thorough knowledge of pharmacy.
Finally, in 187 1, he began his career as an Ortho-
paedic Surgeon, as an Assistant Surgeon to the
Orthopsedic Dispensary and Hospital. He served
in that capacity until 1876, and then until 1878
was Surgeon-in-Chief, when he resigned in order to
devote his attention more fully to other work.
Meantime he was in 1872 elected Orthopsedic

Surgeon to St. Luke's Hospital, New York, the
office being created for him and being the first of
its kind. He filled the place with distinguished
success until 1888, when he resigned it and was
made Consulting Orthopaedic Surgeon. Since early
in his career at St. Luke's he has devoted himself
exclusively to Orthopaedic Surgery, and has attained
world-wide eminence as a leader in that important
department of science. He was the first to propose
the organization of the New York Orthopaedic So-
ciety, now the Orthopedic Section of the Academy
of Medicine. He also took the first steps towards
the organization of the American Orthopaedic As-
sociation, and secured its admission to the Congress
of American Physicians and Surgeons. He was a
delegate to the International Medical Congress at
Berlin in 1890, and secured the formal recognition
of Orthopaedic Surgery by that body, himself defining
it to the Congress as " That department of General
Surgery which includes the prevention and the
mechanical and operative treatment of chronic or
progressive deformities for the proper treatment of
which special mechanical devices are necessary."
In 1900 he founded and organized the New York
State Hospital for Crippled and Deformed Children,
and has since devoted his energies largely to the
development of that institution. His work closely
resembles that of the celebrated Dr. Lorenz of
Vienna, in that he long contended and has practi-
cally demonstrated that many of the cutting opera-
tions commonly performed for the relief of the
deformed are unnecessary. When Dr. " Lorenz
visited the United States in 1902, he was in close
association with Dr. Shaffer, and a number of his
operations in New York were performed at the
instance of the latter. Dr. Shaffer has invented
many important instruments and mechanical de-
vices for use in Orthopaedic Surgery, and has
written many essays upon professional topics. His
three most important works are " Polk's Disease, Its
Pathology and Mechanical Treatment; " "The Hy-
sterical Element in Orthopaedic Surgery ; " and
"Brief Essays on Orthopaedic Surgery." He has
also given much time to instruction. In 1882 he
was appointed Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery in
the New York University Medical College, and
served until 1886, when he resigned. He was
again appointed to the place in 1894, and served
until 1896, when he resigned and joined the staff of
the Cornell University Medical School, on which he
has since been Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery.
He is now Surgeon-in-Chief to the New York State

Peter and Julia (Harrington) Sullivan, was
born at Middletown, New York, on September 4,
1 84 1. Seven months later his parents removed to
a farm at Bethel, New York, and there his boyhood
was spent. When he was ten years old his father
died, and thereafter until he was nineteen he worked
on the farm in summer and attended school in win-
ter. At the age of nineteen he became a school
teacher, and in order to prepare himself the better
for that work he attended the State Normal School
at Albany, New York, for one course. Then he
decided to study medicine, and with that end in
view went to Springfield, Massachusetts, and pur-
sued a course in the English and Classical Institute
there. In 1864 he returned to Bethel and began
the study of medicine under Dr. A. A. Gillespie
and Dr. William L. Appley. He also attended lec-
tures and pursued a laboratory course at the Uni-
versity of Michigan, at Ann Arbor. Finally, in
1865, he entered the Medical College of New York
University, and was graduated with the degree of
Doctor of Medicine in March, 1867. Immediately
thereafter he was appointed, upon competitive ex-

amination, to a place on the Resident Staff of the
New York Charity (now City) Hospital, and served
there from April, 1867, to April, 1868. For the
next year, until April, 1869, he was Resident Physi-
cian to the New York Fever Hospital, and then
began private practice in Brooklyn, New York, in
which he has since remained. Dr. Sullivan is one
of the most successful physicians of Brooklyn. He
has much natural ability, but is withal a close
student, believing thoroughly in the maxim that
" there is no excellence without labor." His devo-
tion to the duties of his profession, therefore, com-

bined with a comprehensive understanding of the

Harrington, Grace Marie, and May Irene Sullivan.
Dr. Sullivan's practice has been of a general charac-
ter, but since, 1882 he has paid particular attention
to surgery, and he has performed many important
operations. In 1889 he introduced the treatment
of gangrene of the mouth by the application of sub-
sulphate of iron and glycerine. He has written

ARTHUR VON BRIESEN was born at Bork-
endorf, in Prussia, on July 11, 1843, the
son of Richard von Briesen and his wife, Adeline
von Briesen (n6e) Bandtke. He comes from an
ancient family of the Prussian nobility, whose mem-
bers all possessed landed estates and were most of
them in the military service of the kingdom. The
estate of Gross-Behren, near Berlin, and some large
holdings near the City of Rathenow, belonged to
his grandfather, Franz von Briesen, and were be-
queathed to the latter's eldest son, Robert von Brie-
sen, whose sons have inherited them. Richard,
father of Arthur von Briesen, was a younger son

and therefore inherited none of the landed estates.
The subject of this sketch \\as carefully educated in
a German Gymnasium, at Hohenstein, and at an-
other at Braunsberg, Prussia. He came to the
United States in 1858 and served in the Federal
Army in the Civil War from 1861 to 1863, inclusive,
having the rank of Sergeant of Engineers. On leav-
ing the army he entered, in 1864, the office of " The
Scientific American," in New York, and remained
there until 1873. Meantime he turned his atten-
tion to legal studies. He entered the Law Depart-
ment of New York University, and was graduated

as a lawyer in 1868. Since he left "The Scientific
American" in 1873 he has been engaged in the
practice of his profession on his own account, devot-
ing his attention chiefly to cases involving inventions,
patents, trademarks and copyrights. Since 1890 he
has been President of the Legal Aid Society of New
York, an organization of incalculable beneficence in
providing legal services for deserving people who
are too poor to employ lawyers in the usual way.
Mr. von Briesen performed a valuable service to
New York University in 1901 when he was Chair-
man of the Committee on the Oswald Ottendorfer
Memorial Fellowship. His committee collected
and paid to the University Corporation a fund
of $20,000, the income of which is to be paid

in furtherance of studies and research to that stu-
dent of any university or college of good standing
who shall prove himself most proficient in Germanic
studies. This endowed fellowship is a worthy memo-
rial of Oswald Ottendorfer, who was a benefactor of
New York University and who gave to it a unique
and priceless Germanic library. In politics Mr. von
Briesen is an Independent, who takes deep and
active interest in the cause of good government
for city, state and nation. He earnestly supported
Grover Cleveland for President of the United States,
Theodore Roosevelt for Governor of New York
State, and William L. Strong in 1894, and Seth
Low in 1897 and 1901, for Mayor of New York
City. He is a member of the Lotus, German, Re-
form and City clubs. He was married on October
22, 1875, to Anna Goepel, of New York, who has
borne him two sons and three daughters. The sons,
Fritz and Hans, are both practicing lawyers in New
York. The daughters are Gretchen, now Mrs. S.
Stanwood Menken, Gertrude and Hedwig von Brie-
sen. Mr. von Briesen's home is in New York City.

and manufacturing ; President and Director of various

DAVID BISHOP HAND, M.D., is a descen-
dant of John Hand, who was born at Maid-
stone, Kent, England, in 1611 and settled at Lynn,
Massachusetts, in 1648, whence with others he
afterward removed to the eastern end of Long
Island and founded the Town of Shinnecock on land
purchased from the Indians. In a later generation
Nathan Hand settled in Sussex County, New Jersey,
and was a farmer and drover. Robert Hand, son of
Nathan Hand, was born in Sussex County, Newjer-

DAVID B. HAND

say, and was a farmer there for a time, then removed
to Hawley, Pennsylvania, in 1830, and engaged in
farming and lumbering. He married Susan Goble,
who on March 31, 1848, bore him a son, David
Bishop Hand, the subject of this sketch. The boy
was sent to private and public schools at Hawley,
and for a time studied medicine under Dr. G. B.
Curtis, at Hawley. Finally he entered the New York
University Medical College, and was graduated with
the degree of Doctor of Medicine in May, 1869. He
was then in uncertain health, but at once entered
upon the practice of his profession, at South Canaan,
not far from Hawley, in Wayne County, Pennsylvania.
Three years later h; removed to Carbondale, Penn-
sylvania, and practiced there for eight years. Then

he removed again to Scranton, Pennsylvania, where
he still remains in practice. In addition to his
medical practice Dr. Hand has long been actively
engaged in various business enterprises. Since his
early life he has had a taste and aptitude for the
lumber business, in which his father was engaged.
He began it by investing in a tract of timber land
in Pennsylvania, which he afterwards sold at a hand-
some profit. This operation was repeated many
times. While at Carbondale he made a specialty
of investing in land available for building sites, and
he has followed the same business with much suc-
cess at Scranton. In partnership with some others
he invested in a tract of 36,000 acres of timber
land in the western part of Pennsylvania. He is a
Director of the United States Lumber Company,
with a capital of $4,000,000 ; of the Lackawanna
Lumber Company, with a capital of ^750,000; of
the J. J. Newman Company, of Mississippi, with a
capital of Ji, 000,000; of the Peck Lumber and
Manufacturing Company, of Scranton, with a capital
of ^100,000; of the Eureka Cash Register Com-
pany, of Scranton, with a capital of $100,000; and
of the Scranton Board of Trade Building, with a
capital of ^250,000. He is Vice-President of the
National Graphite Company, with a capital of
$250,000 ; and President of the South Lincoln Coal
Company, with a capital of $250,000 ; of the Penn
Quarry Company, with a capital of $100,000, and
the Dr. Hand's Condensed Milk Company, with
a capital of $5,000,000. The Condensed Milk
Company was incorporated by him in 1899, and
the idea of incorporating with the milk phosphates
and hypophosphites originated with him. He
claims that as a result of such mixture children
fed upon that condensed milk are free from the
rickets, scurvy and other disorders which often
appear when they are fed upon condensed milk not
thus medicated. Some fifteen years ago he became
convinced that in the care and medication of young
children less judgment was often exercised than in
the rearing of animals, and accordingly he con-
ceived the idea of preparing and putting upon
the market various medicines for children, which
were to take the place of castor oil, opiates, and
other harsh and injurious drugs. He accordingly
resigned from the medical society to which he
had belonged, in order to engage in such business
without violating its rules, though he continued his
regular medical practice. After several years he
sold his prescriptions to certain Philadelphia firms,
on a royalty. He is at the present time about com-

pleting a voluminous work of common sense advice
to parents on the care and rearing of children,
including their hygiene, food, clothing, and care in
case of accidents or illness. Dr. Hand is a Repub-
lican in politics, but has never held public office,
though often urged to do so. He is, or has been, a
member of the Lancaster Medical Society, of Lan-
caster, Pennsylvania ; of the Lackawanna Medical
Society ; of the Anatomical Society ; of the Rod
and Reel Club of Scranton ; of the Scranton Club,
and of the Elks, Odd Fellows, and Masons. He
was married several years ago to Sarah Titus
Cromwell, of Hawley, Pennsylvania, a member of
an old Quaker family, and a descendant of the
family of the illustrious Ohver Cromwell. He
has had four children : May Isabella, who died
at the age of six years ; Frederick Cromwell, a mer-
chant in Scranton, Elizabeth Longstreet, and Howard
David Hand. Dr. Hand's mother, whose maiden
name, as stated above, was Susan Goble, was a
daughter of Nathan Goble, a farmer and drover of
Sussex County, New Jersey, a niece of ex-Governor
Price, of New Jersey, a granddaughter of Francis
Price, for thirty-two years Judge in Sussex County,
and a great-granddaughter on the maternal side, of
the patriot, Stephen Roy, who gave his entire fortune
to Washington and his army at Valley Forge, and
who, when Congress afterward proposed to reim-
burse him, declined, saying, " My country's freedom
is sufficient pay."

schools of Boston and private boarding schools; grad-
uated M.D., Bellevue Hospital Medical College, 1870;
practicing physician in Boston, Mass., since 1870;

ELLERY COL.'^ HEBBARD, M.D,, traces his
descent from Robert and Joan Hibbard,
who came from Salisbury, England, between 1635
and 1639, and settled at Salem, then Beverley,
Massachusetts. Their son, John, and his wife, Ruth
Walden, had a son, John, who married Dorothy
Graves, and who appears to have changed the spell-
ing of his name from Hibbard to Hebbard. This
latter couple had a son also named John, who mar-
ried Hannah Pattle, or Pottle, and lived at Methuen,
Massachusetts. The fourth of the seven children of
John and Hannah Hebbard was James, who mar-
ried Sarah Merrick, and lived, and was deacon of
the church, at Durham, Maine, for more than fifty
years. The third of his five children was Timothy
Merrick Hebbard, who married Mary Dyer and had
eleven children. The sixth of these, born at Lis-
bon, Maine, was William Wallace Hebbard, one of
the notable men of his day and generation. The
son of a hard-working lumberman with a large
family, he began to support himself by manual labor
at the age of six years, and at twelve years of age
dealt in logs on his own account and thus earned
money for schooling. A few years later he was him-
self a teacher. At eighteen he studied for the
ministry and was a little later licensed to preach.
Next he studied medicine at Harvard, and became
a successful physician. He was an earnest temper-
ance advocate, and wrote much in prose and verse.
He married Martha S. Benjamin, daughter of Dr.
Daniel Benjamin, of North Granby, Connecticut,
and died at Nashua, New Hampshire, in T889.
His only son is the subject of this sketch. EUery
Cola Hebbard was born at Adrian, Michigan, 011

March 20, 1847, and received his early education
in the public schools of Boston, Massachusetts, and
in various boarding schools. On approaching the
age of manhood he found his tastes and aptitude
inclining strongly toward the medical profession,
of which his father and maternal grandfather were
conspicuous members. Accordingly he repaired to
New York City, becoming a pupil of Dr. James R.
Wood. He entered the Bellevue Hospital Medical
College, and was duly graduated from it with the
degree of Doctor of Medicine in March, 1870. He
then returned to Boston, in which city his home had

E. C. HEBBARD

been since 1858, and there began the practice of
his profession, in which he has been continuously
and successfully engaged ever since. He is a Fel-
low of the Massachusetts State Medical Society, the
American Medical Association ' and the American
Association for the Advancement of Science ; is a
Thirty-third degree Mason and a member of the
Supreme Council of that Order. He was married
on October 19, 1887, to Mrs. Ida M. Simpson, of
Brooklyn, New York. Dr. Hebbard has written and
published a number of essays on medical topics,
including two on " A Scientific Basis for Medicine,"
entitled respectively, " Ufe and Its Association with
Matter ; Matter not Vital but Absolutely Chemi-
cal," and " Compatible Medication, or the Physical

UNIVERSITIES JND THEIR SONS

Forces in Scientific Formulation." In these papers
he argues to prove that hfe and matter are separate
entities ; that life is continuous and only abides with
matter for a limited time, so proving its immortality.
The ideas promulgated in these papers have excited
considerable interest among scientific thinkers. Dr.
Hebbard claims that medicine can be made strictly
scientific by these teachings. The Doctor is the
owner of a most beautiful country home on the
Kennebec River, consisting of some one hundred
and seventy acres, two-thirds of which are primeval
forest. Some of the pine trees on the estate are one
hundred and fifty feet in height, and some of the
oaks measure nineteen feet around their base and
are estimated to be six or eight hundred years old.
The history of the place dates back to the time
of the Pilgrims.

of which he has been a life-long member, in 1898,
for a place on the Supreme Court Bench from New
York City, and was elected by a handsome majority,
running ahead of the rest of the ticket. He took
his place on the Bench at the beginning of 1899,

tices of the Appellate Term, a distinction not
hitherto accorded to a Judge in his first year of

SENECA DANIEL POWELL, M.D., LL.D., is
a native of Wilcox County, Alabama, and was
bom on January 5, 1848. His father, Augustus H.
Powell, was a planter, and served as Quartermas-
ter in the Confederate Army in the Civil War and
afterward was a member of the Missouri Legislature

SENECA D. POVl'ELL

nel Honorius Powell, of South Carolina, and his
grandparents were among the earliest settlers of
Alabama assisting in the building of Fort Madison.
At the outbreak of the Civil War Dr. Powell was a
cadet in the University of Alabama. He left that
institution to enter the Confederate Army as a vol-
unteer, and served until the end of the war. At the
age of seventeen he engaged in farming and mer-
cantile pursuits for a time, meanwhile privately
preparing himself for a medical career. He was
graduated from the Medical Department of the Uni-
versity of Virginia in 1869, and the next year was
graduated with the Doctor's degree from the Medi-
cal College of New York University. While in the
University he was a House Surgeon in Bellevue

Hospital, serving there for a year and a half. In
1871-72 he was an Assistant Inspector for the
Health Board of New York City, and at the same
time was Clinical Assistant to the Chair of the
Theory and Practice of Medicine in the Bellevue
Hospital Medical College. From 1871 to 1875 he
was Attending Physician to the Central Dispensary
of New York, and filled the same place at the North-
western Dispensary from 1875 to 1889. In 1875 he
was appointed Surgeon, with the rank of Major, to
the Second Brigade of the National Guard of the

Professor of Minor Surgery, and since 1887 he has
been Professor of Clinical Surgery in this institution.
In 1898 he was elected Secretary of the Faculty,
which position he holds at present. Since 1886 he
has been Visiting Surgeon to St. Elizabeth's Hospital,
since 1887 to the New York Infant Asylum and
since 1890 to St. Mark's Hospital. He was Vice-
President of the New York County Medical Society
in r89i, and its President in 1893. He was Vice-
President of the Pan-American Medical Congress at
Washington in 1893, and President of the New York
State Medical Society in 1897-98. He has written
much for publication, especially on brain surgery,
and the use of carbolic acid in the treatment of blood
poisoning and infected wounds. His discovery, in
1894, that alcohol is an antidote, externally and in-
ternally, to the action of carbolic acid has advanced
surgery far beyond its narrow limits in the treatment
of infectious diseases.

122

UNIVERSITIES AND THEIR SONS

Robert and Jane (Wallace) Reid, whose names cor-
rectly indicate their Scottish ancestry, and was born
at St. John, New Brunswick, on November 19, 1850.
When but a few weeks old he was brought to New
York City, where his parents' home was already
established. His first education was acquired in
the public schools of the city. His college pre-
paratory course was pursued in the University
Grammar School, and in the fall of 1866 he was
matriculated in the Freshman class of the Univer-
sity of the City of New York, as New York Univer-
sity was at that time known. He pursued the

JOHN REID

classical course in the School of Arts and ranked
high among his fellows as a student and as a leader
in the best social life of the University. He was a
member of the Delta Upsilon Fraternity, a member
and for a time Treasurer of the Eucleian Literary
Society, and received the honor of election to Phi
Beta Kappa. He was one of the Junior orators of
his class and was also a Commencement orator at
the University Commencement of 1870, when he
was graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Arts.
He had already felt himself called to the work of a
Christian minister, and accordingly, to prepare him-
self therefor, he entered the Princeton (New Jersey)
Theological Seminary in the fall of 1870, and was
graduated in the spring of 1873. His or<lination to

the ministry by the Presbytery of Morris and Orange,
New Jersey, promptly followed, on May 6, 1873, and
he was thereupon installed as pastor of the Presby-
terian Church at Lower Valley, New Jersey. There
he served for a little over a year and then, in 1874,
removed to the City of Paterson, New Jersey, where
his pastorate of the Third Presbyterian Church
lasted for about two years. In 1876 he went to
Hoboken, New Jersey, and was there pastor for
three years. His next call was to a church with
which he was long identified and in which his pas-
torate was a memorable one. It was in 1879 that
he was installed in the historic First Presbyterian
Church of Yonkers, New York, and for sixteen years
he served it faithfully and was a conspicuous and
influential citizen of that beautiful and cultured city.
That memorable pastorate came to an end, how-
ever, in 1895, when he accepted an urgent call to
the Fort Street Church in Detroit, Michigan, one
of the principal churches in the northwest, where
he labored with marked success for the following
four years. Finally, in 1900, he returned east and
became pastor of his present charge, the Memorial
Presbyterian Church of Brooklyn. During his min-
isterial career Dr. Reid has been repeatedly called
upon to serve beyond the limits of his own pastorate.
In 1876 he was the Moderator of his Presbytery.
He was sent as a Commissioner to the General
Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in 1876, 1884
and 1888, and was one of the clerks of that body in
the last named year. It was in t888 that he re-
ceived the degree of Doctor of Divinity, in which
year also he was sent as a Delegate to the Fourth
General Council of the Presbyterian Churches, held
in London, England, when he was made a member
of the Western Executive Commission of the same
for the four years 1888-92. In connection with his
Alma Mater Dr. Reid has been called to maintain a
constant service which has been at once intimate
and beneficent. He was elected to the Council of
New York University in 1889, and the next year
became the Secretary of that body. In that capacity
he served the University with exceptional faithful-
ness and ability, at a critical time in its history, and
largely contributed to the successful establishment
and development of the institution in its new home
on University Heights. Upon his removal from
Yonkers to Detroit, and to the great regret of his
associates, he retired from the Council, but was
promptly and enthusiastically re-elected upon his
return to New York in 1900. He still remains one
of the most earnest and efficient members of the

UNIVERSITIES AND THEIR SONS

123

Council, and is also the President of the College
Alumni Society of the University, to which office he
was re-elected upon the expiration of his term.
During his incumbency of this office the General
Alumni Society of New York University, embracing
all its schools and departments, was organized ; an
important movement with which he was closely
identified. Dr. Reid has four children : Robert
Warren, a son by a former marriage ; Edith May, a
graduate of the Class of 1900 from Smith College ;
John, graduated Bachelor of Arts from New York
University in 1900; and Mary Reid, a member of
the Class of 1904 in Smith College. Dr. Reid was
married to his present wife, formerly Mary Jamieson,
on December 19, 1876. His home is at No. 863
President Street, Brooklyn, New York.

JAMES DECKER SPENCER, M.D., son of
Henry G. P. and Emily Antoinette (Decker)
Spencer, traces his descent from Michael Spencer,
of Stotfold, Bedfordshire, England, in the middle
of the Sixteenth Century. His ancestor, William
Spencer, a grandson of Michael Spencer, with his

JAMES D. SPENCER

brothers, Thomas and Jared, came to this country
in 1631 and were among the early settlers of Cam-
bridge, Massachusetts, and Hartford, Connecticut,
and conspicuous in colonial affairs. His grandfather,
Gordon Percival Spencer, first of Salisbury, Connec-
ticut, and then, at the close of the War of 181 2, of
Champion, New York, was a graduate of Williams
College, an eminent physician and surgeon, and a
surgeon of the American Army in the War of 181 2.
His son, Henry Gordon Percival Spencer, of Water-
town, New York, was a graduate of Jefferson Medi-
cal College, Philadelphia, an army surgeon in the
Civil War, and one of the foremost physicians and
surgeons in the northern part of New York State.
He was the father of the subject of this sketch, who

124

was bora at Denmark, Lewis County, New York, on
April 14, 1849. Dr. Spencer was carefully educated,
attending the Jefferson County (New York) Insti-
tute, and the famous Phillips Exeter Academy at
Exeter, New tiampshire. From the latter he pro-
ceeded to the Bellevue Hospital Medical College,
New York, now a part of New York University.
During his medical studies he enjoyed the precep-
torship of Professor James R. Wood, M.D., LL.D.,
of New York, and also that of his own father. He
was graduated from Bellevue with the degree of
Doctor of Medicine in B'ebruary, 1870, but his
diploma was dated May i, 1870, on account of his
age, as he was actually graduated before he was
twenty-one years old, and it was not permissible to
date the diploma before that age was attained. Im-
mediately upon receiving his diploma Dr. Spencer
began the practice of his profession at VVatertovvn,
New York, and has ever since been thus engaged,
with distinguished success. He was on July 15,
1872, commissioned by Governor Dix a surgeon,
with the rank of Major, in the Thirty-fifth Regiment
of the New York State National Guard. In 1888
he was elected President of the Jefferson County
Medical Society, and in 1896 he was elected Presi-
dent of the Medical Society of the State of New
York, of both of which organizations he is still a
member. Since 1899 he has been President of the
Medical Board of the City Hospital of Watertown,
New York. He is a member, also, of the New
York Academy of Medicine, and the American
Public Health Association, and is Surgeon of the
Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburg Division of the
New York Central & Hudson River Railroad. He
was a member of the Pan-American Medical Con-
gress at Mexico in 1896. He is a Free Mason, a
Knight Templar, and a Noble of the Mystic Shrine.
He was married on October 31, 1877, to Frances
Eleanor Phelps. His address is Watertown, New
York.

BORDEN PARKER BOWNE, A.M., LL.D.,
Professor of Philosophy and Dean of the
Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in Boston
University, and one of the most distinguished of

BORDEN V. BOWNE

American metaphysicians, is a son of Joseph and
Margaret (Parker) Bowne, and was born at Leonard-
ville, New Jersey, on January 14, 1847. He began
his education at the district school, and spent the
academic year, 1865-66, at Pennington Seminary,
Pennington, New Jersey. A year later he entered
New York University, and was there one of the
most promising students of that or any other time.
He won the Sophomore Latin Prize, divided with a
classmate the Mathematical Prize, and won honor-
able mention in Greek, the special prize for the
greatest improvement in the first two years of the
college course, the special prize for greatest excellence
in the entire college course, and the Webster Oratory
Prize. He was also Valedictorian of his class. He

was a member of Delta Upsilon and of Phi Beta Kappa.
He received the degree of Bachelor of Arts in 187 1,
and spent the next year in teaching in New York,
and the year following that as pastor of a Methodist
Episcopal Church at Whitestone, New York. He
then went to Europe to continue his studies, espe-
cially in philosophy and languages. He was at the
University of Halle, Germany, in 1873-74, at
the University of Paris, France, in 1874, and at
the University of Goettingen, Germany, in 1875.
He returned home in 1875 '° become for a year
.Assistant Professor of Modern Languages in New
York University, and Assistant Editor of " The In-
dependent " of New York. At the Commencement
of 1876 he received the degree of Master of Arts
from New York University. Those who were pres-
ent at the time remember well the enthusiasm with
which the students of New York University greeted
the announcement, made by the Chancellor, Howard
Crosby, in chapel one morning in the early fall of
1876, that Professor Bowne had been appointed to
the professorship of Philosophy in Boston Univer-
sity. The feeling was generally shared among edu-
cators, for despite his comparative youth Professor
Bowne was even then widely recognized as one of
the ablest metaphysicians of his time. He has filled
that chair at Boston University ever since that date,
serving also since 1884 as Dean of the Graduate
School of Arts and Sciences. Meantime he has fre-
quently been heard upon the lecture platform, and
has contributed some very important works to theo-
logical and philosophical literature. He has re-
ceived, but has declined, a number of calls to high
educational places in other institutions. Dr. Bowne
possesses the rare and precious gift of investing even
the most profound and abstruse subjects with an
interest amounting almost to fascination, so that
his philosophical writings, while commanding the
utmost respect of scholars for their solidity of
thought and accuracy of logic, are to the general
public almost as entertaining as works of fiction.
This peculiar charm of style marks alike his
books, his addresses and his ordinary conversation.
Among his published works may be mentioned :
"The Philosophy of Herbert Spencer," "Studies
in Theism," " Principles of Ethics," "Metaphysics,"
" Introduction to Psychological Theory," " Philos-
ophy of Theism," " Theory of Thought and Knowl-
edge," "The Christian Revelation," " The Christian
Life," and " The Atonement." Professor Bowne's
philosophical system is set forth in the " Theory of
Thought and Knowledge " and the revised edition

UNIVERSITIES AND THEIR SONS

I 27

of the " Metaphysics." The " Philosophy of The-
ism " was revised in connection with the author's
delivery of a course of lectures on the Deems Foun-
dation under the auspices of New York University,
and thus made a fuller expression of his mature
thought on this subject. He has also contributed a
great number of articles on' these and cognate topics
to " The New Englander," " The Methodist Quar-
terly Review," "The Princeton Review," and other
periodicals. Professor Bowne received the degree
of Doctor of Laws from the Ohio Wesleyan Univer-
sity in 1 88 1. His home is at No. 380 Longwood
Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts.

DADIRRIAN, Markar Gevork, 1839-

Class of 1871 Med.
Born at Cesarea, Asia Minor, 1839 ; studied in local
Armenian school ; graduated at Bebek Seminary, now
Robert College, Constantinople, 1862 ; taught Armenian
school at Yosgat one year ; Pastor of Armenian Evan-
gelical Church, Yosgat, five years; graduated M.D.,
New York University Medical College, 1871 ; received
diploma from Medical College, Constantinople, 1872;
practiced medicine in Constantinople, 1873-84; prac-
ticed in New York since 1884; Surgeon in Turkish
Army, 1872; Surgeon, with rank of Lieutenant, in
Turkish Army in Russian War of 1877 ; served in

Attending Physician to St. George's Parish, New
York, 1885-92; Attending Physician Children's Aid
Society, New York, 1888-90; proprietor of " Zoolak "
or " Matzoon."

MARKAR GEVORK DADIRRIAN, M.D.,
was born at Cesaren, in Asia Minor, on
August 2, 1839, the son of Gevork and Diroohi
Dadirrian, the latter born Armaghanian. His father
was a merchant of Smyrna, engaged in the foreign
trade, and was a friend and associate of the Ameri-
can missionaries, Goodell, Schauffler and Dwight,
and joined with them in establishing at Cesarea the
Evangelical Armenian Church. The subject of this
sketch was first sent to an Armenian school at
Cesarea, and then, at the age of fourteen, entered
his father's business office at Smyrna. After two
years, however, his father saw that he was more
inclined toward study than toward commerce, and
so sent him to the American Bebek Seminary, now
Robert College, at Constantinople. There, after
four years of scientific and three more of theological
study, he was graduated in 1862. For one year
he then taught in the Armenian school at Yosgat,
after which he was chosen to be the Pastor of the
Evangelical Armenian Church in that city, and

served in that capacity for five years. In 1868 he
made the important move of leaving his native land
and coming to the United States. On reaching
New York he found a staunch and sympathetic
friend in that noble and honored man, Howard
Crosby, Pastor of the Fourth Avenue Presbyterian
Church and Chancellor of New York University.
Under Dr. Crosby's influence and through his aid
Dr. Dadirrian entered the New York University
Medical College and pursued its regular course, at
the end of which he was graduated with the degree
of Doctor of Medicine in 187 1. He then returned

MARKAR G. DADIRRIAN

to Asia Minor, to serve his countrymen in both
body and soul. For a time he practiced medicine
at Yosgat, receiving a diploma entitling him to do
so at the Medical College at Constantinople in 1872.
At the same time he preached for his old church
there, without compensation. But in 1873 his
health began to fail and he was thus constrained to
seek the more favorable climate of Constantinople.
In the latter city he practiced medicine for eleven
years, ranking as one of the foremost physicians of
Constantinople and having among his patrons many
of the most distinguished members of the Turkish
nobility. He also served the Turkish Government
as a military surgeon. He had already been an
array surgeon at Yosgat in 1872. During the Russo-

128

UNIVERSITIES AND THEIR SONS

Turkish war in 1877 lie was an army surgeon, with
the rank of Lieutenant, and served in the Kooleli
Hospital, on the Bosphorus, Constantinople. His
success was marked, but it brought upon him the
jealousy and wrath of the court physicians in the
Sultan's palace, who three times organized conspira-
cies against his life. Accordingly he retired from
his lucrative practice in the Turkish capital, and
once more came to the United States. Here he
decided to settle permanently. His first medical
work here was done in the De Milt Dispensary, in
New York, in 1884. After a year in that institution
he went to the Eastern Dispensary, of New York,
and for two years was an Attending Physician to it.
During the seven years 1885 to 1892 he served
without charge as an Attending Physician to the
parish benevolent organizations of St. George's
Protestant Episcopal Church, on Stuyvesant Square,
of which he and his family are members. In 1888
to i8go he was an Attending Physician to the
Children's Aid Society. Dr. Dadirrian began in
1885 the enterprise with which his name is now
particularly associated : the manufacture of a fer-
mented milk food, to which he gave the name of
" Matzoon." In this work he was aided by his two
sons, who were graduates in chemistry and pharmacy.
A large and profitable business was presently built
up, based upon the real merits of the article. On
account of various imitations which were put upon
the market, and in order to protect himself and his
patrons against them, in 1899 he gave to " Mat-
zoon" an additional trade name, " Zoolak." This
preparation has won great popular favor, and is
widely used and recommended by the medical
profession. Dr. Dadirrian also invented and placed
upon the market an emulsion of cod liver oil with
fermented milk, which he called " Matzol." Both
of these preparations were exhibited at the World's
Fair at Chicago in 1893, and received medals and
diplomas. In the year 1898 he invented a third
preparation, combining calisaya bark with wine, and
calUng it " Vin Shartone." These three prepara-
tions have been introduced into use chiefly through
the medical profession and hospitals, and their
merits have thus been amply demonstrated. The
business of manufacturing them was incorporated in
1899 under the laws of New York, the concern
taking the name of Dr. Dadirrian & Sons Company.
Of this corporation Dr. Dadirrian is President, and
his two sons respectively Vice-President and Secre-
tary and Treasurer. Dr. Dadirrian is a member of
the New York County Medical Society, the Physi-

cians' Mutual Aid Association of New York, the
Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Imperial
Medical Society of Constantinople. He was mar-
ried on September 9, 1862, to Hosanna Shishmanian,
daughter of Nigoghos Shishmanian, of Yosgat, and
has two sons and one daughter. The sons Hayga-
zoon Markar and Dicran Louis are associated with
him in business. The daughter, Araksia Olympia
Maria, is the wife of H. G. Gumchian, of Marseilles,
France. Dr. Dadirrian's address is New York City.

enough money to put him through a two years'
course at the State Normal School at Edinboro,

lege, and was graduated from it in 1871 with the
degree of Bachelor of Arts. Four years later, in
187s, his Alma Mater gave him also the degree of

of Jersey City, Testimonial : Dr. Lochner having so long
officiated as surgeon of this company, and with remarkable
self denial and generosity exercised his professional skill
for, and given his valued advice, attendance and services with-

members of our company who had not the means or ability
to compensate him, the Veteran Company of Jersey City
appointed the undersigned a committee to present to him the
following resolutions, unanimously adopted, September 12,
1882: Resolved: that the Veteran Company of Jersey City
hereby express our high appreciation of our kindest gratitude
to and our respect and affection for Dr. John Lochner, our
brother and associate member. We esteem him for his un-
blemished character as a citizen, his superior qualities as the
surgeon of this company, his social excellencies and his un-
tiring devotion in ministering professionally as a skilled and
able physician to the sick. Especially we render heartfelt
thanks to Dr. Lochner for his gratuitous, faithful and devoted
attention, year after year, rendered cheerfully and patiently to
the members of our company, who by misfortune were unable
to return him the compensation he earned. Like an angel
of mercy, he has all along these years, by day and by night,
given comfort, advice, consolation and liis most valued pro-
fessional services without money and without price to the
poor. We, as members of this company, in common with
the citizens of Jersey City, honor him for his sterling worth
and self-earned unsullied character.

KIERNAN, James George, 1852-

Class of 1874 Med.
Born in New York, 1852 ; studied in public schools
and College of City of New York; graduated M.D.,
New York University Medical College, 1874; Assist-
ant Physician, New York Asylum for Insane, 1874-78;
editor, writer, instructor. Asylum Superintendent, and
expert Alienist.

JAMES GEORGE KIERNAN, M.D., the emi-
nent Alienist, is a son of Francis and Mary
(Aiken) Kiernan, and was born in New York City
on June 18, 1852. The Kiernans are a Celt-
Iberian Irish clan, and were supporters of the
Stuarts for Ireland's sake. The branch to which
Dr. Kiernan belongs intermarried with descendants
of the English "regicide," Harrison, and in 1722
came to this country, settling in Maryland, Virginia
and New York. The Aikens are a Scottish family
of Scandinavian origin, settled in Ayrshire, and
were opponents of the Stuarts from Mary to James
VII of Scotland. Dr. Kiernan was educated in the
public schools of New York, and in the College of
the City of New York. In the latter he remained
until the end of his Junior year, in 1871. • While
there he made a special study of biology, geology,
and other sciences, and received the Ward medal
in 1868 for proficiency therein. He was an active
member of the Scientific Society and of two of the
literary societies of the college. At home he had a
thorough training in the history and literature of the
English-speaking peoples, and in Calvinistic The-
ology. In 1871 he entered the Medical College of
New York University, and was graduated from it
with the degree of Doctor of Medicine in June,
1874. For the next four years he was an Assistant

Physician in the New York City Asylum for the
Insane, and there, in conjunction with Dr. E. C.
Spitzka, were made the studies on which Dr.
Spitzka's " Somatic Etiology of Insanity " was based.
This work anticipated the modern school of Lom-
broso, but was free from the exaggerations of the
latter. In 1877 Dr. Kiernan read before the New
York Neurological Society a paper corroborating,
though in some details differing from, Kahlbaum's
theory of katalonia, and in 1878, in a discussion of
certain "Trophic Disorders of the Insane" he first
demonstrated that paretic dementia produced the

JAS. G. KIERNAN

same trophic neuroses as locomotor ataxia, and that
there were close relations between those neuroses.
In 1880 he demonstrated the clinical existence of
transitory frenzy and of psychoses secondary to
syphilis which had a non-specific nature. In 1881
he corroborated Kraepelin's theory of the relation-
ship between insanity and rheumatism. In 1883 he
critically analyzed Fournier's theory of the relation-
ship of syphilis to paretic dementia, and pointed
out that syphilitic paretic dementia could not be
differentiated from that of any other origin, a view
afterward adopted by Fournier himself. These few
citations of his investigations and announcements
are an indication of the general character and scope
of a vast amount of work which has been done by

158

UNIVERSITIES AND THEIR SONS

Dr. Kiernan in the last quarter of a century. Dr.
Kiernan became editorially connected with " Gail-
lard's Medical Journal" in 1880 and retained that
connection until 1885. In 1881 he removed from
New York to.Chicago and was in 1881-82 Manag-
ing Editor of "The Chicago Medical Review" and
Assistant to the Chair of Nervous and Mental Dis-
eases in the Medical College of the Northwestern
University. In 1882 he was appointed an Inspector
of the National Board of Health. From 1882 to
1886 he was an Editor of "The Journal of Nervous
and Mental Diseases " and of" The American Jour-
nal of Neurology and Psychiatry," and since 1892
he has been an Editor of " The Alienist and Neu-
rologist." In 1887 he founded "The Medical
Standard" and edited it until 1896. From 1891
to 189s he was an Editor of " The Review of Ner-
vous and Mental Diseases" and from 1896 to 1899
he was a member of the editorial staff of the Jour-
nal of the American Medical Association. From
1894 to 1896 he was Professor of Mental and Ner-
vous Diseases in the Milwaukee Medical College,
and since 1890 he has been Professor of Forensic
Psychiatry in the Union, now the Kent, College of
Law in Chicago. He is a member of the .American
Medical Association and has twice been Chairman
of its Section on Mental and Nervous Diseases ; and
he was Honorary President of that section in the
Pan-American Medical Congress of 1893. In 1895
he was elected a foreign associate member of the
French Medico-Psychologic .Association. In 1890
he helped to found the Chicago Academy of Medi-
cine, of which he has been Secretary since 1892,
and of which he was the chosen representative at the
International Medical Congress of 1900. He is a
member of the Chicago Medical Society, and an
honorary member of the Chicago Neurological So-
ciety, and has been a member of the New York Neu-
rological Society, the New York Society of Medical
Jurisprudence, and the New York County Medical
Society. He has been a frequent contributor of
authoritative essays and discussions to nearly all the
leading medical journals of the United States, espe-
cially those devoted to nervous and mental disorders.
In sociologic anthropology he has maintained that
environment before and after birth is more influen-
tial in determining character than is heredity. He
has opposed the views of Lombroso, Nordau and
others, that genius is a product of neuropathy, hold-
ing that where the two coexist neuropathy mars
genius. Dr. Kiernan has long ranked as an author-
ity in forensic medicine, in which he strongly main-

tains the English common law principle that the
responsibility of the insane is a question of evidence
and not of judicial dicta. In 1880 he testified in
the Frank Leslie Will Case. In the Guiteau Case
in 1 88 1 he expressed the now generally accepted
opinion that the accused was a morally imbecile
paranoiac. In 1889 lie was medical counsel for
the defence in the Cronin Homicide Case. In
various other important cases he has largely con-
tributed to the development of a consistent and
scientific code of principles in medical jurisprudence
vi-here mental disorders are concerned. He is a
Democrat of the school of Jefferson in politics, but
has held no public office save that of Superintendent
of the Cook County (Chicago) Insane Hospital, in
1884-89, in which place he was the leader of the
reform movement which led to the Chicago " boodle "
trials and convictions and the rectifying of abomin-
able abuses in the administration of County .■Asylums
in Illinois. Dr. Kiernan was married on February
10, 1881, to Jane A. Trumper, who bore him three
children : Anna Louise, Mary Louise, and Edward
Spitzka Kiernan. Of these only the second named,
now Mrs. VV. \V. Edwards, survives. Dr. Kiernan 's
address is Suite 910, 103 State Street, Chicago,
Illinois.

JACOB A. CANTOR, LL.B., President of the
Borough of Manhattan, City of New York,
is the son of Henry and Hannah (Hanau) Can-
tor, respectively of English and Austrian ancestry,
and was born in the City of New York on De-
cember 6, 1854. His education was acquired in
the public schools, including a high school, and
in New York University. At an early age he mani-
fested a strong inclination toward the legal profes-
sion, and in 1870 he was employed in the office of
Webster & Craig, attorneys. Next he turned his
attention to journalism, and from 1872 to 1877 was

In 1892-93 he was President of the Senate, and in
other years he was the leader of the Democrats in
that body. After 1895 Mr. Cantor was for a time
retired from public life, owing largely to his separa-
tion from and opposition to Tammany Hall, the
dominant Democratic organization of New York
City. In 1 90 1, however, he came forward as the
leader of a strong Anti-Tammany Democratic organi-
zation, and allied himself with the Fusion movement

Hospital, 1875-77; in practice since 1877 as Ophthal-
mologist, with extended hospital service; A.M., Rutgers
Female College, 1884; author of important papers and
reports.

RICHARD KALISH, M.D., physician, surgeon
and ophthalmologist, was born in New York
City on June 20, 1854. He was matriculated at
the Bellevue Hospital Medical College, which is
now consolidated with New York University, and
was graduated as a Doctor of Medicine in 1875.
After a competitive examination he was appointed a

member of the Resident Staff of Bellevue Hospital,
in which place he served for two years, being grad-
uated as House Surgeon in 1877. Since that date
he has been engaged in private practice, and has
also done much service in hospitals and elsewhere.
Thus he was Assistant Visiting Surgeon to the New
York Eye and Ear Infirmary from 1878 to 1890;
Lecturer on Therapeutics in the Bellevue Hospital
Medical College in 1878; and has been Visiting
Ophthalmic Surgeon to the Charity (now City)
Hospital since 1880. At the latter institution Dr.
Kalish instituted his investigations into the cause
and growth of cataract, which culminated in his dis-
covery of a method of checking the progress and of
causing the absorption of unripe cataract, and in
1890, before the Section on Ophthalmology of the
New York Academy of Medicine, he announced this
discovery in a paper entitled " The Arrest and
Partial Resorption of Immature Cataract with Res-
toration of Reading Power." A second commu-
nication to the medical profession was made at
the annual meeting of the Medical Society of the
County of New York, under the heading " The

RICHARD KALISH

Absorption of Immature Cataract by Manipulation
Conjoined with Instillation." Both of these papers
were published in " The Medical Record." Sub-
sequently a third paper entitled "The Absorption

UNIVERSITIES ANB THEIR SONS

of Uncomplicated Immature Cataract by Conjoined
Manipulation and Instillation," was read before the
Northwestern Medical and Surgical Society, and
was published in " The Medical News." These
reports attracted widespread interest both at home
and abroad, and have established the basis from
which arise all plans of treatment looking toward
the absorption of cataract and the avoidance of the
use of the knife. In addition to the papers above
named Dr. Kalish is the author of " Ophthalmic
Hints for the General Practitioner," read before the
Society of Alumni of Bellevue Hospital and pub-
lished in " The New York Medical Journal," and
■" Some Rheumatic Diseases of the Eye," read be-
fore the Northwestern Medical and Surgical Society.
Dr. Kalish having for many years taken an active
part in educational matters, notably in the higher
education of women, the Rutgers Female College
in 1884, in recognition of his efforts in that direc-
tion, conferred upon him the degree of Master of
Arts. Since 1891 Dr. Kalish has been Consulting
Ophthalmic Surgeon to St. John's Hospital, Long
Island City; since 1898 Consulting Ophthalmic
Surgeon to the J. Hood Wright (formerly Man-
hattan) Hospital; and since 1892 Consulting Oph-
thalmic Surgeon to the Health Department of the
City of New York, to the Riverside Hospital, North
Brothers Island, and to the Willard Parker Hospi-
tal. He has been Secretary, Vice-President and
President of the Bellevue Hospital Medical College

New York for many years; prominent in Democratic
politics.

JOHN FRANCIS McINTYRE, LL.B., long
Assistant District Attorney of New York
County, was born in New York City in January,
1855. His father, John B. Mclntyre, was a well
known architect of New York, and was the grand-
son of the first of the Mclntyre family in America,
who came from Ireland in 1798. His mother,
whose maiden name was Frances Virginia Esquirol,
was the grandchild of Jean Esquirol, who came from
France with Lafayette and fouglit in the Revolu-
tionary War. Mr. Mclntyre attended the public
schools of New York and was also instructed by
private tutors. His college course was pursued at
the College of St. Francis Xavier, in New York,
where he was graduated in 1873 ^'''^ the degree
of Bachelor of Arts. His legal studies were begun
in 1873, in the law office of Luke A. Lockwood,
and also in the Law School of New York University,
from which latter he was graduated with the degree
of Bachelor of Laws in 1875. Beginning in 1876,
Mr. Mclntyre has ever since been continuously
engaged in the practice of his profession, save for
the time when he has been occupied with public
services as a legislator. His practice has been
chiefly that of a trial lawyer, and has involved both
civil and crilninal cases. Mr. Mclntyre's public
life began with his service in the State Assembly,
to which he was elected for two years, in 1886-87.

He was a member of the Judiciary Committee, and
ranked among the most efficient legislators of his
time. Afterward he was appointed counsel to the
Comptroller of New York City, and then began his
long and distinguished career in the District At-
torney's office. He was an Assistant District
Attorney under Delancey Nicoll, John R. Fellows,
and W. M. K. Olcott, and was Chief .Assistant Dis-
trict Attorney under Asa Bird Gardiner. During
his incumbency of that office he prosecuted more
murderers, probably, than any other man of his
time. Among these were many notorious and sen-

JOHN F. McINTYRE

. sational cases, including those of Dr. Meyer, Burton
C. Webster, Mrs. Fleming, Dr. Kennedy, Maria
Barberi, and others. In his management of these
cases Mr. Mclntyre won a brilliant reputation as a
prosecuting officer, and made himself a terror to
evil doers. In 1897 he was retained by the Irish
Societies of the United States to go to England and
defend Edward J. Ivory, who was charged with a
capital crime. The trial was held before Justice
Sir Henry Hawkins, at the Old Bailey (Queen's
Bench), and after an exciting struggle resulted in
the acquittal of the defendant. At the present
time Mr. Mclntyre is credited with trying more
civil cases than any other lawyer at the New York
Bar. In politics he is a Tammany Hall Democrat,

i66

and he has long been active and conspicuous in
the affairs of his party as a delegate to its State
and National conventions and in other directions.

mained in active and successful practice as a
physician and surgeon. At a meeting of the Suf-
folk County Medical Society on April 26, 1894,

Since that time he has been continuously engaged in

exclusively to the practice of surgery. The recent
construction, at that hospital, of the Fox-Hayward
Surgery, the Florence Nightingale Home, and School
for Nurses, together with the enviable reputation
which the institution has acquired may be taken as
substantial evidence of the energy and skill which
have marked his administration. Dr. Glass was

MARCUS MORTON JOHNSON, Ph.B.,
M.D., Founder of the Woodland Sana-
torium at Hartford, Connecticut, and one of the
foremost physicians of that city and state, is de-
scended from Sir John Johnson, an English sea-
captain, who settled in Connecticut, and whose son,
John Johnson, Jr., married Mehitabel Sperry and
settled at Rutland, Vermont. Silas Johnson, son of
the latter couple, settled at Malone, New York, as
one of the pioneers of that place, and had a son,
Marvin L. Johnson. The last named married Polly
Chapman, and was the father of the subject of this
sketch. The Chapmans trace their descent from a
Dean of Canterbury, England, through some of the
earliest settlers of Norwich, Connecticut. Joshua
Chapman, of Norwich, was a soldier in the Revolu-
tionary War. His son, Joshua Chapman, Jr., settled
at Malone, New York, and was the father of Polly
Chapman, mother of Dr. Johnson. The Johnson
and Chapman families have both for many genera-
tions been noted for longevity, as well as for high
intellectual and moral qualities. Marcus Morton
Johnson was born at Malone, New York, on April
21, 1844, and was prepared for college at Franklin
Academy, at Malone. Thence he went to Brown
University, Providence, Rhode Island, and was
graduated from it in 1870 with the degree of Bach-
elor of Philosophy. For the next five years he was
Instructor in Mathematics and the Sciences in the
Connecticut Literary Institution, at Suffield, Connecti-
cut, an institution vi'ith which he is still connected in
an official capacity. He entered the Medical College
of New York University in 1875 and in 1877 was
graduated a Doctor of Medicine, receiving the
Valentine Mott gold medal, the highest prize for
excellence of work in anatomy and dissections.

Hartford, Connecticut, Hospital. Then he went to
Europe for two years of study and hospital work,
and received instruction from Thomas Keith in
Edinburgh, Joseph Lister in London, Billroth in
Vienna, and Martin and Von Langenbeck in Berlin.
Li 1880 he returned home and settled in Hart-
ford, Connecticut, where he has since remained.
His practice has been general in character, though
he has largely devoted himself to advanced surgical
work. Two years after his settlement in Hartford,
in 1882, that city was visited by an epidemic of

MARCUS M. JOHNSON

diphtheria, and Dr. Johnson distinguished himself
by his highly successful introduction of the bi-chlo-
ride of mercury treatment. His studies under Sir
Joseph Lister having impressed him with the im-
portance of sanitary and antiseptic surroundings for
the sick, Dr. Johnson erected at No. 122 Woodland
Street, Hartford, the fine sanatorium of which he has
for some years been the proprietor ; an institution
admirably designed and equipped for the care of
patients, especially of those needing surgical treat-
ment. As an operating surgeon Dr. Johnson has
been notably successful. He has performed hun-
dreds of abdominal sections, with a high percentage
of recoveries. On July 29, 1899, at St. Francis's
Hospital, Hartford, he performed a remarkable
VOL. II. — 13

operation for strangulated inguinal hernia, the strang-
ulation having existed for thirty-five hours, and the
patient being a child nineteen days old who had
been born prematurely and weighed only five pounds
at birth. The result was a complete recovery.

Punta Arenas, Costa Rica, 1891-92; practicing phy-

MARTIN AMADOR, M.D., the subject of
this sketch, has had thus far a career not
marked with monotony and not circumscribed by
the habits, thoughts and customs of some narrow
community, but greatly varied and replete with the

200

UNIVERSITIES AND THEIR SONS

many interesting incidents which naturally occur
through wide travel and extensive intercourse with
the world. Born in South America and prepared
for his profession in New York, he has visited the
Old World and many parts of the New, and is now
settled in the Metropolitan Borough of Brooklyn, as
an eminent and representative physician. Dr.
Amador was born at Ci^naga de Oro, in the Repub-
lic of Colombia, South America, on March lo, 1857,
coming of a family long conspicuous in the affairs
of that country. His father was the late Manuel
Amador Fierro. One of his ancestors was shot,

MARTIN AMADOR

with eight comrades, at Carthagena, in 18 16 for
having proclaimed the independence of the country
from Spain. Another ancestor was Governor of
Carthagena, and his heart is still preserved in the
Hail of Assemblies. Manuel Amador Fierro, Dr.
Amador's father, was President of the State of
Bolivar from 1867 to 1870, and was also Secretary
of War, Secretary of Public Instruction, a member
of the House of Representatives, a Senator, and
First Designado, or Vice-President, of Colombia.
At the time of his death he was again candidate for
the Presidency of Bolivar, and would have been
elected without opposition had he lived. His great
oratorical gifts made him one of the foremost
statesmen of Colombia, and he commanded the

respect and confidence of the State of Bolivar in an
exceptional degree. He married Estevana Salcedo
de Jinie'nez, and had eleven children. Of these the
first, Manuel, born in 1856 and died in 1900, was a
Colombian Consul, a British Vice-Consul, and direc-
tor and manager of several large commercial enter-
prises. The second is the subject of this sketch.
The third, Virginia, died in childhood. The fourth,
Crist6bal, an eminent jurist and legislator of
Colombia, died in 1897. The fifth, Anibal, died at
the age of twenty-one. The sixth, Stephen, is a
merchant in Brooklyn, New York. The seventh,
Simon, is a merchant in Costa Rica. The eight,
Sarai, is a resident of Brooklyn. The ninth, Fran-
cisco de Paula, is a jurist and school inspector in
Costa Rica. The tenth, Adriano, lives at Panama,
and the eleventh, Coriolano, died in infancy. Dr.
Martin Amador, the second of this family, was
educated up to the age of sixteen years in a private
college at Carthagena, Colombia. On December
30, 1874, he landed at New York and presently
entered the Medical Department of New York Uni-
versity. There he pursued the regular course, and
was duly graduated with the degree of Doctor of
Medicine in 1878. The next six months were spent
in special preparation for hospital work, and then
he entered the Charity, or City, Hospital, on Black-
well's Island, at first as Junior and then as Senior
Assistant. A year later he temporarily forsook
medicine for the public service, becoming in
September, 1880, Consul-General of Colombia in
Holland and Belgium, residing partly at Amsterdam
and partly at Brussels. He filled this place until
1883, and meantime travelled extensively in Europe,
especially in France, Germany and Great Britain.
He returned to America in 1883 and for the next
two years was Professor of Anatomy, Physiology
and Surgery in the University at Carthagena,
Colombia. In 1885 he was appointed Vice-Consul
of the United States at Carthagena, and filled that
place for two years, during which time he also
practiced medicine, taught in the University, and
was secretary of a steamship company for the navi-
gation of the Sinii and Atrato rivers. In 1887 he
went to Colon, and was for two years there
County Physician and Police Surgeon. He then
resigned his position, returned to the United States
in September, 1889, and began the practice of his
profession in Brooklyn, New York. Two months
later he was Secretary of the Colombian Delegation
to the International American Congress. He re-
mained in practice in Brooklyn until 1891, when ill

health compelled him to leave that city. He there-
upon went to Punta Arenas, Costa Rica, and there
served for one year as Health Officer. In 1893
Dr. Amador again returned to Brooklyn and re-
sumed the practice of his profession. He was
married in the Church of the Sacred Heart, Brook-
lyn, by the Rev. Father McCollum, on August 14,
1879, his bride being Mary McElhenny, daughter
of Michael and Catherine McElhenny. He and
Mrs. Amador have numerous friends in Brooklyn
and other parts of New York. He devotes the
major part of his time to an earnest practice of his
profession. He is a member of the Kings County
Medical Society and of the Physicians' Mutual Aid
Association, and is a Medical Examiner for Unity
Council of the Knights of Columbus.

His legal studies were subsequently pursued in the
Law Department of New York University, where he
was graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Laws
in 1878. Locating in New York, he turned his
attention to corporation law, making at the outset a
specialty of that particular branch of practice, and
later devoting himself almost entirely to financial
and business corporations and the legal questions
arising in connection with their organization and
maintenance. Nearly ten years ago he withdrew
from general court practice, going into court only
on matters relating to the corporation laws. He has
argued before the United States courts and before
the Supreme Court of the United States many im-
portant propositions of corporation law, such as the
question arising under the War Revenue Tax, as to

HERMAN C. H. HEROLD

and High School. At the age of eleven he was left
an orphan, the second in age of six children, and
had thereafter to support himself and help care for
his younger brothers and sister. He was a clerk in
a grocery store while attending the Newark High
School, and at the age of nineteen he left school and
started a grocery store of his own. In that he
prospered, and thus enabled himself on his twenty-
first birthday to begin the study of medicine in the
Bellevue Hospital Medical College, now a part of
New York University. He was graduated with
the degree of Doctor of Medicine in March, 1878,
and immediately began the practice of his profession
in Newark, and has thus been engaged ever since.
He soon built up a large practice, and assisted his

younger brother to become established in the same
profession. He has been a member of the Newark

HINCKLEY, Livingston Spraker, 1855-

Class of 1878 Med.
Born in Albany, N. Y., 1855 ; studied in public schools ;
graduated M.D., Bellevue Hospital Medical College,
1878; served in Blackwell's Island Insane Asylum;
served in private hospital in New York, and at sani-
tarium at Avon Springs, N. Y.; in charge of Essex
County, N. J., hospitals lor the insane, 1884-1900; in
practice at Newark, N. J.

LIVINGSTON SPRAKER HINCKLEY,
M.D., the head of the great system of hos-
pitals for the insane in Essex County, New Jersey,
IS of distinguished ancestry on both sides of the
family. His father was Dr. John Warren Hinckley,
for thirty years a prominent physician of Albany,
New York, and the son of John Hinckley, who
married Eunice VVarren, granddaughter of Joseph
Warren, the hero and martyr of Bunker Hill. The
Hinckley family came from Tenterden, in Kent,
England, and in the person of Samuel Hinckley was
transplanted to this country in 1639. Samuel
Hinckley settled first at Scituate and later at Barn-
stable, Massachusetts, and his son, Thomas Hinck-
ley, was in 1645 Deputy, in 1658-80 Magistrate at
Plymouth, and in 1681-92 Governor of the Colony.
On the maternal side Dr. Hinckley is the son of

UNIFERSITIES ANB THEIR SONS

205

Maria Schuyler, a direct descendant of John Schuy-
ler, father of the famous General Philip Schuyler.
He is also a younger brother of that Isabella Hinck-
ley who a generation ago was one of the most bril-
liant singers of her time, in choir, concert and grand
opera, and was hailed as " the Jenny Lind of
America." For the sake of Isabella's education in
music, her mother took her and the subject of this
sketch to Italy when the latter was an infant, and
spent some years there. Then Isabella, who had
married Captain Susini, of the Italian Army, died,
and at nearly the same time her father also died.

LIVINGSTON S. HINCKLEY

whereupon, bereft of both husband and daughter,
Mrs. Hinckley returned to America with her young
son. The latter had been born in Albany, New
York, on August 15, 1855, and at the time of his
return to America was scarcely five years old. He
attended a private school in Jersey City, New
Jersey, for a time, and then a public school in York
Street in that city. A course in the Thirteenth
Street Grammar School in New York, whither the
family had removed, followed, and then, at the age
of seventeen, owing to straitened circumstances,
he had to give up his studies for work. For a time
he was employed in mercantile business, but he
spent his evenings and spare time in studying medi-
cine, his ambition being to enter the profession

with which his father had been identified. In this
he was greatly aided and encouraged by his friend,
benefactor and preceptor. Dr. James L. Perry, of
New York. In 1873 he began studying in the Belle-
vue Hospital Medical College, which is now incor-
porated with New York University. In 1874 he
was matriculated, and in 1878 he was graduated
with the degree of Doctor of Medicine. It is
worthy of remembrance, in view of his after career,
that his graduating thesis was on '• Puerperal In-
sanity." Immediately upon receiving his diploma.
Dr. Hinckley was appointed a Junior Assistant
Physician in the Insane Asylum on Blackwell's
Island, New York, where there were some 1,300
female patients. He quickly made his mark there,
through his devotion and skill, and was advanced to
be a Senior Assistant, and then Assistant Superin-
tendent under Dr. A. E. Macdonald. In 1881,
however, he resigned his place on Blackwell's Island
in order to take charge of a private hospital in New
York. Next he took charge of a sanitarium at Avon
Springs, New York. It was while he was thus en-
gaged, in 1884, that he saw and improved the great
opportunity of his life. He learned at that time
that the authorities of Essex County, New Jersey,
which includes the great City of Newark, desired
to find a physician competent to take charge of the
County Asylum for the Insane and to develop it to
the proportions necessary in so populous a com-
munity. He at once applied for the place and re-
ceived the appointment, and thus entered upon the
great work which has ever since chiefly occupied
his attention. At the time when he became its
head, the Essex County Asylum was small, over-
crowded, and in a discreditable condition. In 1885
he secured the addition of a commodious wing to
the building, and in 1891 a second wing was built.
The name of the institution was changed in 1890
from asylum to hospital. In 1896 the enlarged
building was again overcrowded, and the first of a
great group of buildings for a branch hospital was
erected at Verona, New Jersey. The latter is gener-
ally esteemed to be one of the most perfectly
equipped hospitals in the United States. There is
also connected with the main hospital in Newark a
fine Training School for Nurses for the Insane, the
second of its kind in the United States. Besides
managing these institutions, with more than 1,000
insane inmates. Dr. Hinckley has written much for
publication, on alienist topics, he has frequently been
called upon to testify in court as an expert, and he
has cultivated his rare musical talents both as a per-

former and a composer. He resigned from the
Superintendency of the county hospitals in February,
1900, and is now practicing his profession in
Newark. He is a member of the Newark Medical
and Surgical Society, and was its President in 1869 ;
of the West End Club, of Newark, of which he was
President in 1897-98 ; of the American Medico-
Psychological Association, of the American Medical
Society, of the Practitioners' Club, and of the
Masonic Order. From 1874 to 1881 he was a
member of the Twenty-second Regiment, New
York National Guard. He was married in 1890 to
Barbara Halber, and has one child, Livingston S.
Hinckley, Jr.

and has two children : Lucy Macdonald and Mildred
Elizabeth Howell. His address is No. 345 Fifth
Avenue, Newark, New Jersey.

BOLDT, Hermann J., 1856-

Class of 1879 Med.
Born in Germany, 1856; came to United States in
childhood; studied and practiced pharmacy ; graduated
M.D., New Yorlc University Medical College, 1879;
in active practice since 1879, with special attention to
Gynecology; Professor of Gynecology, Post-Graduate
Medical School ; Gynecologist to several hospitals ;
author of various essays and inventor of surgical in-
struments.

HERMANN J. BOLDT, M.D., was born on
June 24, 1856, at Neuentempel, near Ber-
Hn, the estate of his father, Hermann Boldt, who
was a prominent German agriculturist. In his
childhood he was brought by his parents to the
United States, and long before reaching manhood
was thrown upon his own resources. For years he

H. J. BOLDT

allowed himself no more sleep than three or four
hours a day, and thus was able to do much work
and to pursue his studies. He aimed at the medi-
cal profession, and not having the means to pursue

2IO

UNIVERSITIES AND THEIR SONS

at once a course of medical study he made phar-
macy a stepping-stone thereto. He studied and
practiced pharmacy until he had acquired the
necessary means. Then he entered the Medical
College of New York University, and was graduated
in the Class of 1879. He ranked high as a student,
and his abilities were recognized by Dr. Fallen, of
the University, who made him his assistant. Later
he became an Instructor in the Post-Graduate
Medical School and Hospital, and is now Professor
of Gynecology there. He is also Gynecologist to the
German Poliklinik and to St. IMark's Hospital, and
Consulting Gynecologist to the Beth Israel Hospital.
From this it will be seen that he makes a specialty
of gynecological practice, in which he is now recog-
nized as one of the foremost authorities, but for
which he laid the broad foundation of twelve years
of general practice. He usually spends three months
of each year in Europe, and thus keeps himself in
touch with the best medical and surgical knowledge
of the old world. He was the first physician in
America to investigate the physiological action of
cocaine, one of the first operators to remove in toto
the fibromyotamous uterus, and is one of the leading
advocates of vaginal hysterectomy for cancer. He
has invented a number of surgical instruments for
gynecological use, and also an operating table.
Among his important published papers are those
on " Salpingitis," " The Treatment of Suppurative
Disease of the Uterine Appendages," " The Advan-
tage of doing Intermediate Traelorraphy," " Cardiac
Neurosis due to Uterine Displacements," " Histology
of the Uterine Mucosa," " The Manual Treatment
of Pelvic Diseases," "Exfoliative Cystitis," and
" The Treatment of Posterior Displacements of the
Uterus." He is ex-Chairman of the Gynecological
Section of the New York Academy of Medicine,
ex-President of the New York Obstetrical Society
and a member of the American, the International,
and the British Gynecological societies, and the

who came to this country from England in 1631 in
the ship Lion and settled at Roxbury, Massachusetts.
From that place they removed to Hempstead, Long
Island, in 1643. I" later years members of the
family owned a large part of the northern end of
Manhattan Island, where a considerable village,
now of course absorbed into New York City, long
bore the name of Carmansville. Mr. Carman's
mother was, before her marriage, Jeannie D. Camp-
bell, a descendant of the famous Campbell clan of
Scotland, of which the Duke of Argyll is the head.
His great-great-grandmother, Mrs. Jane Campbell,
was with her mother and children taken prisoner
at the massacre of Cherry Valley, New York, in
1778, while her husband. Colonel Samuel Campbell,
an officer in the Colonial Army, was away at the
war. The mother, being old and feeble and unable
to travel, was tomahawked by the Indians the day
after the massacre. The mother and children were
distributed among the Indian tribes, but later ex-

in the law office of Judge Birdseye, in New York
City. Admission to the Bar came at last, in January,
1880, and he immediately began the practice of the
profession and has maintained it with much success

LEONARD FOX PITKIN, M.D., though born

two centuries the Pitkins have been conspicuously
identified with the history of New England, and
especially of the State of Connecticut. In his " His-
tory of East Hartford " Mr. J. O. Goodwin says :
" Seldom is it the fortune of one family to have
numbered so many individuals raised to distinction
in the affairs of a State by their own abilities as in
the case of the Pitkin family. . . No other family
of our commonwealth stood so constantly and for so
long a time in the front of current events, unless it
was the Wolcott family of Windsor." And the
Wokott family is descended from Martha Pitkin
Wolcott, sister of the first American progenitor of
the Pitkin family. Dr. Pitkin is a son of Leonard
and Eliza Anne (Fox) Pitkin, and a direct descend-

work for his own support, as a telegraph messenger
boy. For three years he was thus engaged, and

ADRIAN YOUNG REID, M.D., son of Dr.
James Ransom Reid and Araminta (Thomas)
Reid, was born at Crawfordsville, Georgia, on Novem-
ber 3, 1848, and at an early age removed with his
family to Thomasville, Georgia, where he received a

A. Y. REID

good English, classical and scientific education at
the Flechyville Institute. At the age of sixteen he
was drafted into the Confederate Army for the clos-
ing campaigns of the Civil War, and was thus com-
pelled abruptly to abandon his books. After the
war, the family having been much impoverished
through the vicissitudes of the conflict, he set out
for the Nortli to make his own way in the world,
and to seek further education. He reached New
York in the fail of 1868, and at once entered the
service of the Western Union Telegraph Company,
as error clerk in the operating room. He soon
became a proficient operator, and was put in charge
of a telegraph office in the service of D. Appleton
& Co., the publishers. His connection with that

firm was of inestimable advantage to him. Sur-
rounded with books and in contact with authors and
publishers, his intellectual progress was greatly stimu-
lated. He studied, meanwhile, in night schools,
pursuing courses in Anatomy, Physiology, Chemistry,
and Electricity. He also took private lessons in
German, and attended many lectures by eminent
scientists. After a year's study under Dr. M. B.
Early of New York, he was inatriculated in the New
York University Medical College in the fall of 1878.
The Western Union Telegraph Company kindly
gave him a night office, with hours from six to nine
p. m., and he thus continued in its employ during
his college course. His salary being insufficient for
his needs, however, he hit upon the plan of making
more money by reporting college lectures for the
benefit of others and his own profit. He thus made
copious notes of the lectures of Professor Darling,
of the Chair of Anatomy, and, with the Professor's
permission, made copies thereof for sale among the
other students. With a copying press he made
five hundred copies of some four hundred pages of
notes, and realized more than three hundred dollars
from the enterprise. He did the same with the
lectures of Professor Thomson, of the Chair of
Materia Medica, performing the work in partner-
ship with William Van Dyke, of Beyrout, Syria,
and between them they realized about six hundred
dollars. After graduating with the degree of Doc-
tor of Medicine in 1880, Dr. Reid became for two
years Visiting Physician to the De Milt Dispensary,
and since then has been steadily engaged in private
practice in New York City, with constantly increas-
ing success and prosperity. He is a member of
the Medical Society of the County of New York.
He was married in June, 1880, to Mary Belle
Polley, and has one child, Araminta Florence Reid.
His address is No. 104 Lexington Avenue, New

Sn.AS CANADA BLAISDELL, M.D., a prom-
inent physician and surgeon of Brooklyn,
New York, is a native of Winterport, Waldo County,
Maine, and the son of Ebenezer Ferren Blaisdell
and Nancy (Chase) Blaisdell. He was born on
May 20, 1856, in a house which has belonged to
the family for more than a hundred and ten years,
and in which his father and grandfather and all
their children, and all the children of his great-
grandfather Blaisdell, were born. His great-grand-
father, Ebenezer Blaisdell, went to Maine from New

Hampshire soon after the War of the Revolution,
in which he rendered valiant service, and was one
of the first settlers of Frankfort, Maine. He was a
retired sea-captain. He is said to have been the
first to plant an apple orchard in the State of Maine,
and he was the builder of the house in which the
subject of this sketch was born. His son, the
grandfather of Dr. Blaisdell, was also named Ebene-
zer, and married Annie Ferren, of Kennebunkport,
daughter of Jonathan Ferren, who fought in the
French and Indian War, in the Revolutionary
War, and was a member of Arnold's expedition
to Quebec. The son of the latter couple, and
father of Dr. Blaisdell, is Ebenezer Ferren Blaisdell,
who was married in 1847 to Nancy Chase, a
daughter of Mark L. Chase and a descendant of the
same family as that of Salmon Portland Chase, Chief
Justice of the United States Supreme Court.
Mark L. Chase was an advanced Free Thinker, and
an inventor of note. He devised the method of
applying the motion of the compass to the centre
of the upper millstone and adjusting it to the lower
stone — the method universally in use in this coun-

try for grinding grain until the introduction of the
steel roller process a few years ago. Mr. Chase also
invented the side-hill plow. His wife was a daugh-
ter of John Spearin, a veteran of the Revolution

and of the War of 181 2. She was also descended
through her grandmother from General Kendall, who
founded the City of Waterville, Maine, erecting there
Kendall's Mills, the first saw mills on the Kennebec
River. Silas Canada Blaisdell received his early edu-
cation in the public school at Winterport, and then
studied for a short time at the Hampden, Maine,
Academy. The limited means of his parents com-
pelled him to go to work at an early age, and for four
years he was apprenticed to a cooper. Next he
worked for a tailor for a year and a half, and then
went to Brooklyn, New York, and for a year worked
in the clothing trade, fourteen hours a day, for six
dollars a week. Finally he entered the employment
of the Havemeyer and Elder Sugar Refining Com-
pany, and remained in it four years, saving in that
time enough money to enable him to pursue a course
in a medical college and thus gratify the ambition
which he had cherished from early childhood. Dr.
Blaisdell cannot remember of having in the whole
course of his life had as much as a twenty-five cent
piece given to him, for which he did not give the
full equivalent of value in labor of some kind. He
entered the Medical College of New York Univer-
sity in 1879, and in his first year, after a competitive
examination of more than seven hundred students,
was appointed Demonstrator of Anatomy, and won
a silver medal. In his second year he won the gold
medal, and was thus the only man in the history of
the institution to win those medals in his first and
second years. In the third year he won honorable
mention, and the offer of a hospital appointment.
He was graduated in 1882 with the degree of Doc-
tor of Medicine. Since that time he has been
steadily engaged in practice in the City of Brooklyn,
New York. He was for a time a Lecturer on
Applied and Comparative Anatomy in the New York
University Medical College, Lecturer on Regional
Anatomy in the New York College of Dentistry,
and Visiting Surgeon to the Eastern District Hos-
pital of Brooklyn, New York. He is now Surgeon-
in-Chief of the latter institution. He is a member
of the Kings County Medical Society, the Physi-
cians' Mutual Aid Society, the Hanover Club, and
the Seawanaka Boat Club. In politics he is an
Independent. He has written various articles for
publication including a notable paper on " Head
Injuries " in " The Brooklyn Medical Journal" of
April, 1900. Dr. Blaisdell was married on January
29, 1883, to Ella Rebecca Fisher, daughter of Elan-
son Fisher, the portrait painter. His home is at
No. 500 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, New York.

since 1895 ; member of Psi Upsilon and Phi Beta

ROBERT WINFIELD HIGBIE, A.M., a fine
example of the college man in business, is a
direct hneal descendant of John Higbie, who lived

R. W. HIGBIE

at Middletown, Connecticut, from 1660 to 1694,
and of his son, Edward Higbie, who in 1674 settled
at Jamaica, Long Island, New York, and he is in
the eighth generation of the Higbie family in the
United States. On the maternal side he is in the
fourth generation from Robert Davison, a patriot
soldier in the Revolution. He was born at Spring-
field, in the Town of Jamaica, now a part of the
Borough of Queens, New York City, on March
5, 1863, the son of Alexander and Sarah Frances
(Davison) Higbie, and received his early educa-
tion in the local public school. He was prepared

250

UNIVERSITIES ANB THEIR SONS

for college in Professor E. Vienot's Preparatory
School, and in 1878 was matriculated in the School
of Arts of New York University. There he ranked
high among his classmates, being Secretary of
his class during the Sophomore year and its Presi-
dent in the Junior year. He was a member of
Delta Chapter of the Psi Upsilon P>aternity, and in
due season was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. He
was graduated in 1882, with the degree of Bachelor
of Arts, and as the Valedictorian of his class. Later,
in recognition of his continued scholarship, he re-
ceived from the University the degree of Master of
Arts. In this Mr. Higbie takes just pride, and he
is confirmed in his early behef that a college educa-
tion, with the highest and broadest culture, is profit-
able to the business man as well as to the member
of a learned profession. The exceptional esteem in
which Mr. Higbie was held by the Faculty as well
as by his fellow students was shown in the fact that
the very day after his graduation he was employed by
Professor Richard Bull as a clerk in the New York
Savings Bank, of which institution the venerable
professor was President. Dr. Bull had been Mr.
Higbie's instructor in Mathematics, and was a keen
judge of human nature and very exacting in his
requirements. To be thus chosen by him for a place
of trust was therefore a high tribute to the young
man's character and attainments. After a short
term of service in the savings bank Mr. Higbie
entered the employment of the Hanover National
Bank of New York, and remained there until 1885,
being advanced meantime from place to place. In
the year named he voluntarily retired from the bank
in order to become partner in a retail lumber firm
at Jamaica, New York, in which business he was
successfully engaged for the following ten years.
Then, seeking a wider field, he left his Jamaica
office to engage in the wholesale lumber trade in
New York City. He is still occupied with the
latter business at No. 45 Broadway, New York, and
is also interested in manufacturing, and is the owner
of extensive lumber lands in West Virginia. Mr.
Higbie has not interested himself in politics beyond
performing the duties of a private citizen. He has
declined election to various clubs, preferring to re-
main domestic in his tastes and habits. He is a
member of the First Presbyterian Church of Jamaica,
the oldest church of that denomination in North
America, and is President of its Board of Trustees.
He has held the office of Vice-President of the
Chautauqua Literary Society of Jamaica. He was
married on September 12, 1888, to Anna Augusta

Pearsall, daughter of Hamilton W. Pearsall, and has
two children : Hamilton Alexander and Robert Win-
field Higbie. He now makes his home at Jamaica,
New York.

1887-92 ; Bloomingdale Hospital since 1892 ; Clinical
Assistant Columbia University ; Associate Editor,
" American Journal of Insanity," 1887-92.

CHARLES EDWIN ATWOOD, M.D., is a
native of Shoreham, Vermont, where he
was born on July 21, 1861. His mother, whose
maiden name was Laura Roxana Moore, was de-
scended in the fourth generation from an English
earl. His father, Edwin Simons Atwood, was de-
scended from a daughter of Jonas Parker, the first
man killed in the Revolutionary War at Lexington.
Jonas Parker was a cousin of Captain John Parker,
the Commander of the Minute Men at Lexington.
The memorial tombs of both are at Lexington, and
Jonas figures in the oil painting in the town hall at
that place. It will be recalled that Edward Everett
in one of his orations said, referring to Jonas Parker's
refusal to retreat before the British, that " History,
Roman History, does not furnish an example of
bravery that outshines that of Jonas Parker." Born
of such ancestry, Charles Edwin Atwood was edu-
cated first at the Newton Academy, Shoreham, then
at the High School at Ithaca, New York, and finally
at Cornell University, at Ithaca, where he pursued a
scientific course and was graduated with the degree
of Bachelor of Science in 1880. Thence, for his
professional training, he went to the Bellevue Hos-
pital Medical College, in New York, and was gradu-
ated from it with the degree of Doctor of Medicine

in 1883. Immediately upon his graduation, Dr.
Atwood entered the service of the Department of
Public Charities of New York City, and performed
duty in various clinics. Then, in 1885, he received
an appointment as Assistant Physician at the Hud-
son River State Hospital (for the Insane) at Pough-
keepsie, New York. This appointment was made
after a severe civil service competitive examination
lasting three days and embracing the higher branches
of liberal education, such as Geology, Astronomy,
Ancient and Political History, etc., as well as the
usual medical subjects. He remained in that place

CHAS. E. ATWOOD

for two years, and then entered for similar service
the State Hospital at Utica, New York, where he
remained from 1887 to 1892. Since the latter date
he has been upon the staff of the Society of the
New York Hospital, in what is popularly known as
Bloomingdale Asylum, at White Plains, New York.
He is also Clinical Assistant in the Department of
Nervous Diseases in the Medical College of Colum-
bia University, and Medical Examiner for several
New York life insurance companies. He has written
a number of articles for the medical press on the
causation of insanity, expert testimony, the training
of nurses and other topics. From 1887 to 1892 he
was Assistant Editor of " The American Journal of
Insanity." He is a member of the American Social

BLEYER, J. Mount, 1859-

Class of 1883 Med.
Born at Pilsen, Austria, 1859 ; studied at University
of Prague; came to United States in 1866; in law
office, 1875-78 ; graduated M.D., Bellevue Hospital
Medical College, 1883 ; studied in Europe ; in practice
in New York since 1884; specialist in diseases of res-
piratory organs.

J. MOUNT BLEYER, M.D., F.R.A.M.S., LL.D.,
an eminent specialist in diseases of the res-
piratory organs, was born in the City of Pilsen,
Austria, in 1859, and received his early education
in a local high school and at the University of
Prague. In 1866 his father, Samuel Bleyer, a mer-
chant, came to the United States with all his family,
and the boy continued his education in New York.
In 1875 he entered as a student the law office of
Richard E. Mount, and remained there three years,
when, not finding the legal profession altogether to
his liking, he turned his attention to medicine and
surgery. Accordingly, he became a student in the
Bellevue Hospital Medical College, which has since
been incorporated with New York University. At
this time he was entirely dependent upon his own
resources, and for support engaged in literary work.
He wrote short stories, poems, plays, etc., largely
for the daily press, and was thus enabled to support
himself and pay his way through college. Among
his writings were a dramatic poem on Edgar Allan
Poe, a play entitled "The American M.D.," which
was produced in New York, " The Spectacles of
Truth," a philosophical story, and "The Wizard's
Pantheon," a story of a weird character based upon
the electrical inventions of the day. In 1883 he
was graduated with the degree of Doctor of Medi-
cine, and then went to Europe for a period of
further study. There he became acquainted with
fflany eminent men and increased his knowledge
of his profession. On his return to the United
States he engaged in the practice of his profession
in New York City, and has ever since been thus en-

gaged, with exceptional success. Dr. Bleyer was
one of the first to adopt the practice of intubation in
cases of diphtheria, and was so markedly successful
therein that he not only secured a large patronage
in such cases but also was often called in for consul-
tation. He sometimes operated in as many as six
or seven cases a day. In 1890 he made a report
to the International Medical Congress at Berlin
upon the first five hundred cases treated by his
method. Another important innovation with which
he was conspicuously identified was that of the
electric killing of criminals as a substitute for hang-

J. MOUNT BLEYER

ing. His first paper on this subject was pubHshed
in the " Humboldt Scientific Library " and in the
"Transactions" of the Medico-Legal Society of
New York. Later came his studies on "Tone
Blindness," or the causes of what is termed '•' false
ear." A communication on this subject was sub-
mitted by him to the Royal Academy of Medicine
and Surgery, of Naples, Italy, and gained him elec-
tion to membership in that body. Continuing his
researches in this field, he soon gave a remarkable
report on the pathological changes in the human
voice, as indicated by the phonograph. He per-
fected that machine for his purposes and planned
the creation of what might be called a " vocal pan-
theon," or a museum in which the voices of emi-

26o

UNIVERSITIES AND THEIR SONS

nent men and women should be preserved. This
idea has since been practically considered by the
Smithsonian Institution. Dr. Bleyer wrote his first
paper on this subject for "The American Athe-
nseum." Following this came his experiments re-
sulting in photography of the human voice and the
making of " voice pictures." He found that sound
can be recorded by photographing the vibrations of
a membrane acted upon by the sound, and in this
ingenious fashion he discovered a new chromatic
scale. Upon the discovery of the " X Rays " Dr.
Bleyer became deeply interested therein, and soon
began the practice of fluoroscopy of the chest wall,
demonstrating the possibility of thus examining and
ascertaining the condition of the lungs. At present
this system is widely used in hospitals. Next he
gave his attention to the study of the violet rays of
light. His application of such rays to the cure of
tuberculosis has attracted wide attention through-
out the world. For the generation of such rays he
has invented several kinds of lamps. His system
of treatment includes, also, the fullest possible use
of sunlight through properly colored glass, and he
has had a number of sanatoria thus equipped.
Electric sterilization of the blood is another of his
inventions which is receiving much attention from
physiologists. This system consists in generating
in the blood an excess of ozone. These and other
researches and achievements of Dr. Bleyer have
won for him wide recognition. He has been chosen
to membership in the Electrical Society of New
York, the Soci6t6 Electrique ThtSrapeutique and
the Sociit^ Laryngologique of Paris, the National
Academy of Medicine of Mexico, and other learned
bodies. He has also received the honorary degree
of Doctor of Laws.

side he is descended from Puritan stock, his grand-
parents having moved into New York from Ver-
mont. His education was begun in the common
schools of his native place. From 1874 to 1878 he
was a student in the State Normal School at Pots-
dam, New York, and he was graduated from it in
the classical course in the spring of 1878. Intent
upon higher culture and a professional career he
entered McGill University, in Canada, in 1880, but
the next year left it for the Medical College of New
York University. In the latter institution he pur-
sued the full course and was duly graduated with the

and New York, was born at Areola, Bergen County,
New Jersey, on January 22, 1862, his parents being

Island of Walcheron, Holland, came to America in
1709, settled first at Acquackanonck, New Jersey,
and later at Hackensack, married at the latter place
on August 19, 1710, and was the owner of large
tracts of land at Preakness and on the Saddle River

was Joris or George Doremus, who lived at Passaic
and married Mary, daughter of Dan Berdaen
(Berdan). Later descendants have become numer-
ous throughout Bergen and Passaic counties. On
the maternal side Mr. Doremus is descended from
Dirck Garretsen Van Dien, of Utrecht, Holland.
His paternal grandparents were John B. and Mar-
garet (Westervelt) Doremus, and his maternal grand-
parents Cornelius G. and Susan E. (Post) Van
Dien. Mr. Doremus received his primary education
in the public schools of his native county, and
thence proceeded to the Stevens Institute, Hoboken,
New Jersey, in 1878, where he completed his aca-
demic studies. In 1880 he became a student in
the Law School of New York University, and was

of Chosen Freeholders of Bergen County, Now
Jersey, and was also counsel for the village and
township of Ridgewood. At the present time he is
counsel for Saddle River, Maywood Borough, and
other municipalities. In his general practice his
ample preparation for his profession and his earnest
devotion to the interests of his clients have won for
him an enviable success. He has never aspired to
public office, but in 1895 ^^^^ persuaded by his
friends to accept a nomination for State Senator.
He is a member of the Reformed Church of Ridge-
wood, New Jersey, and is one of the most public-
spirited and highly esteemed citizens of that place,

Dr. Ashley spent his boyhood in his father's home,
and received a good common school education.
For two years he was employed as clerk in a drug

teens, he responded to the call of his country by
enlisting "for the war." He was mustered into the
service, as a Private in Company F of the One
Hundred and Twentieth New York Volunteers, on
August 22nd, and soon went to the front. In camp
near Alexandria, Virginia, he became seriously ill,
and his father and sister Emma were telegraphed
for. They came to camp and nursed him back to
convalescence, but at the cost of his sister's life, for

she caught cold in camp and as a result afterward
died of consumption. The young soldier was sent
from camp to a hospital in Washington, later to one
in Philadelphia, and finally to the Convalescent
Camp, where on January 19, 1863, he was trans-
ferred to the First United States Cavalry. He was

1865, and Appomattox, April 9, 1865. When Lee
surrendered to General Grant he stood guard at the
house while the two generals were arranging the
terms and signing the papers. On July 19, 1865,
he was honorably mustered out of the service, at
Jackson Barracks, Louisiana, with character "a
gallant soldier, a faithful and meritorious non-com-
missioned officer." He then returned to Catskill,
New York, and entered the baking business with his
father, continuing that business as the latter's suc-
cessor for some years. He then resumed the study
of medicine at the College of Physicians and Sur-
geons in 1877. Later he studied pharmacy and
became a licensed pharmacist. Finally he entered
the Medical College of New York University, and
was graduated with the degree of Doctor of Medi-
cine in 1884. In 1880 he settled in Brooklyn,
New York, as a druggist, and since 1884 has been

into the wilderness in 1636, in quest of religious
freedom. In 1(351 he returned to Boston, only to
be imprisoned for preaching the heretical doctrine
of freedom of worship. His descendants lived in
Rhode Island until early in the last century, when
some of them removed to the western part of the

family fought in most of the colonial wars, the
Revolution, the War of 18 12, and the Civil War.
Dr. Crandall is in the seventh generation from the
Rev. John Crandall. The maiden name of Dr.
Crandall's mother was Deborah T. Wood. She
was a daughter of Alvah Wood, and belonged to
a family which came to Middlebury, Massachusetts,
in the latter part of the Seventeenth Century. Some
of its members removed to Woodstock, Vermont,
and thence went to Genesee County, in Western
New York, in 1821. Another ancestor of Dr. Cran-
dall's was Nicholas Du Puy, who came from France,
settled upon an island in the Delaware River above
the Water Gap, and there led a feudal career. His
granddaughter, who was Dr. Crandall's great-grand-
mother, married Cornelius Van Campen, a member
of one of the old Dutch families of New York. Of
such ancestry, Floyd Milford Crandall was born at
Belfast, New York, 011 May 2, 1858. He was edu-
cated at the Genesee Seminary, and at the Geneseo
Normal School. He would have gone on through
a regular college course in arts and letters but for
the temporary failure of his sight, his eyes being
useless to him for a year or more. From 1879 to

1 88 1 he was Principal of Genesee Seminary, and
then he turned his attention to his own professional
training. He entered the Medical College of New
York University, and was graduated with the degree
of Doctor of Medicine in 1884. For the next year
he served as an Interne in Bellevue Hospital, New
York, and for the next as House Physician in the
same institution. His subsequent hospital practice
in New York may be summarized as follows : At-
tending Physician, Out-door Department, Bellevue
Hospital, 1 886-1 889 ; Attending Physician North-
western Dispensary, 1889-1890; Assistant Surgeon,

since 1897. Dr. Crandall has been busily engaged,
also, as a teacher. He was a Clinical Assistant in

1888; an instructor in the New York Polyclinic
Medical School, 1 888-1 889 ; a lecturer in that
institution in 1889-1893, and an Adjunct Professor
from 1893 to 1901. Still another department of his
untiring activity has been that of editorial work on
medical periodicals. He was a member of the staff
of "The New York Medical Journal" from 1889 to
1893, Managing Editor of "The Gaillard Medical

THOMAS CHARLES FITZSIMMONS, M.D.,
is a native of Fell Township, Luzerne (now
Lackawanna) County, Pennsylvania, and is of Irish
ancestry. His father was Hugh Fitzsimmons, and
his mother's maiden name was Rose Shannon. They
both came from County Cavan, Ireland, and settled
in the United States in 1848. Dr. Fitzsimmons was
born on March 7, 1858. A year later his parents
removed to a farm near the City of Carbondale,
Pennsylvania, and there he grew to manhood. He
was educated in the public schools, and in the high
school at Waymart, Pennsylvania, after which he
taught school for a year at Pleasant Valley, now
Avoca, Pennsylvania. In 1880 he began the study
of medicine with Dr. John Burnett, at Carbondale,
and he continued his studies under Dr. W. Pier at
Pleasant Valley. He then entered the Bellevue
Hospital Medical College, pursued its three years'
course, and was graduated with the degree of Doc-
tor of Medicine in 1884. Immediately after gradu-
ation he opened an office and began practice in the
City of Scranton, Pennsylvania. His prompt suc-
cess in his work was marked by his election in 1885
to be City Physician of Scranton. To this place he
was re-elected three times, but in the middle of his
fourth year he resigned, on account of his removal
to Carbondale to rejoin his aged parents. At Car-
bondale he practiced for ten years with marked
success, being a member of the staff of the Carbon-
dale Emergency Hospital, and being twice elected
City Physician. He was also twice elected Phy-
sician for Fell Township. In 1895, upon the
death of his father, he removed to New York City,
and for two years was engaged in hospital visiting
work. Finally, in 1897, he settled in Wilkes- Barre,
Pennsylvania, where he still remains in successful
practice. For the past ten years Dr. Fitzsimmons
has devoted a large part of his time to the scientific
study and investigation of epilepsy and its causes.
Diseases of the mind and nervous system have been
his specialty for the past fifteen years, but in epilepsy
the Doctor appears to see a broad and interesting
field for scientific and analytical investigation. For

ston County, State of New York, the Doctor has
spent much time, and he justly regards that as the
model institution of its kind in the country. He
has spent liberally of his time and money in an
effort to induce the law makers of his home state,
Pennsylvania, to establish by law an institution
similar to Craig Colony. When the new colony
system for the treatment and care of epilepsy under
the jurisdiction of the State of Pennsylvania is finally
established, to no other person will so much honor
and praise be due as to Dr. Fitzsimmons. In 1901
he joined several other men in opening the High
Land Springs Sanatorium, at Dallas, Luzerne County,
Pennsylvania, an institution which ranks among the
best in the state. While in Carbondale he was one
of about twenty physicians who organized the Acad-
emy of Medicine in that city. He has also been a
prominent member of the Father Mathew Total
Abstinence Society of Wilkes-Barre. As a public
speaker there are few men of any profession who
outrank him. He is always in demand as an orator,
and delivers several addresses every winter for differ-
ent bodies and societies and other public assemblages.

DANIEL THOMSON MILLSPAUGH, M.D.,

land on account of their religious belief. One of
them settled in England, and changed his name to
Millbrook. The other, Petrus Millspaugh, came to
America and purchased a thousand acres of land at
Montgomery, Orange County, New York, where he
prospered. His grandson, Adam Millspaugh, served

ALBERT HARRISON BRUNDAGE, A.M.,
M.D., and Phar. D., is a native of Candor,
Tioga County, New York, where he was born on
March 3, 1862. He is a son of Dr. Amos Harrison
Brundage and Sarah Mervina (Dimraick) Brundage.
His paternal grandfather was Parmenas Brundage.
One of his maternal ancestors served as a Captain
in the Revolutionary Army, and others were prom-
inent in the colonial history of the country. The
family of Dimmick, whose name is also spelled
Dimock and Dymoke, is descended from the famous
English family of Dymoke, of the Manor of Scriv-
elsby, whose privilege it was to furnish the " King's
(or Queen's) Champion " for one of the most
picturesque ceremonies connected with the corona-
tion of the British monarch. Dr. Brundage lived
at Candor until he was eight years old, when his
parents removed to Cohoes, New York. In 1872
the family again removed to Newark, New Jersey,
and in 1876 he went to live with his paternal great-
uncle at Montclair, New Jersey, for a year, when he
returned to Newark. Finally in 1881 the family
settled in Brooklyn, New York. He studied succes-
sively in public schools at Candor, at Cohoes, in
Newark and Montclair ; then again in a Newark
public school, was graduated, and went to the
iiigh school. Later he became a student in a law
office in New York City, where he remained for
more than a year, when he accepted a position in
a mercantile establishment. This he soon left and
returned to the drug business, in which he had
already had some experience. While employed
in the drug business he became a student in
the Medical College of New York University.
He paid his way at college by working in the drug
store and also by teaching an evening school, and
completed his course with credit. On March 10,
1885, he was graduated with the degree of Doctor
of Medicine. Overwork and overstudy had, how-

ever, impaired his health, and after graduation he
found it necessary to enter upon a course of syste-
matic exercises for the restoration of his health and
production of physical development. For two years
he industriously pursued such a course, with the result
that he became a notable athlete and the champion
bar vaulter of the world : his record of seven feet,
seven inches still remains unbroken. From 1886
to the summer of 1888 he was Medical Director
of the gymnasium of the Vanderbilt University at
Nashville, Tennessee, and also at the Peabody Nor-
mal College of the University of Nashville from

ALBERT H. BRUNDAGE

1886 to 1889. He was also Lecturer on Sanitary
Science in the latter institution. On October 22,
1888, a fire occurred in one of the buildings of the
University of Nashville. He extinguished it and
thus saved the lives of many students, but was
himself terribly burned and injured, almost to per-
manent mental and physical invalidism. As soon
thereafter as he was able to do so he started back
to Brooklyn to live. Nearly all of his personal
property, including his medical diploma, was lost
en route on the celebrated " Day Express " train
in the great "Johnstown Flood," but he and his
wife escaped on another train just ahead. Thus
left penniless and in shattered health, he summoned
up his indomitable will for a new start in life. As

soon as mind and body had sufificiently recovered
from the effects of the fire, he renewed his efforts to
make his way in the world. In 1890-91 he took
a post-graduate course in the Long Island College
Hospital, and on February ist of the latter year
opened an office in Brooklyn for the practice of
his profession. In 1891-92 he took a post-
graduate course in the New York University Medi-
cal College. He was one of the founders of the
Brooklyn College of Pharmacy, and was graduated
from that institution in 1892 with the degree of
Graduate of Pharmacy, and in 1897, after a post-
graduate course, with that of Doctor of Pharmaceu-
tics. The University of Nashville in 1898 conferred
upon him the honorary degree of Master of Arts in
recognition of his work in medicine, pharmacy and
literature. Dr. Brundage was in 1891-92 an In-
structor in Botany, Materia Medica, Pharmacognosy
and Organic Chemistry in the Brooklyn College of
Pharmacy; First Vice-President of it in 1892-93;
President in 1893-94, and Lecturer for several years
on Hygiene and Emergencies. He is now Profes-
sor of Toxicology, Physiology and Hygiene in that
institution, and also Professor of Toxicology and
Physiology in the Rhode Island College of Pharmacy
and allied Sciences, and Toxicologist to the Bushwick
Hospital. In 1892 to 1893 he was Secretary, in
1894 Vice-President, and in 1895 President of the
Medical and Surgical Staff of the Central Hospital
and Polyclinic. He is the President of the Board
of Pharmacy of the State of New York, and Exam-
iner in Toxicology and Posology. Until it passed
out of existence he was a member of the Board of
Pharmacy of the City of New York and the Exam-
iner in Toxicology and Posology. He was the
founder, and for two years was President, of the
Brooklyn Medical Society, and has also been Presi-
dent of the Kings County Pharmaceutical Society,
and for two years Vice-President of the New York
State Pharmaceutical Association. The last named
organization made him a life member in recognition
of his work for the association. He is a member
of the American Medical Association, the American
Pharmaceutical Association, the American Associa-

CAHILL, John Henry, 1859-

Class of 1885 Law.
Born at Delanco, N. J., 1859 ; studied in public and
private schools and under tutors; graduated LL.B.,
New York University Law Department, 18S5 ; em-
ployed as law stenographer in courts; since 1880
connected with New York Telephone Company as
Vice-President, Secretary, Counsel and Director ;
Director of American Telephone and Telegraph Com-
pany; connected with numerous other corporations as
counsel and director; recognized authority on corpora-
tion law.

JOHN HENRY CAHILL, born at Delanco,
Burlington County, New Jersey, on July 22,
1859, comes of pure Irish stock, both his parents,
John and Sarah Fitzpatrick Cahill, having been born
in Ireland. His early education was acquired in
various public and private schools, and under tutors.
When only fifteen years of age he ran away from
home to seek his own fortune in New York, making
his way from Delanco to the metropolis by night
on a freight train. Almost immediately upon reach-
ing the city he found employment in the ofifice of a
stenographer, who was at that time employed in
reporting the proceedings in the famous Tilton-
Beecher trial in Brooklyn. He became himself a
proficient stenographer, and was employed in that
capacity in the law courts of New York. Thus he
acquired a taste for the law and determined to enter
that profession. He also did stenographic work for
Cook's Tourist Agency and for the American Dis-
trict Telegraph Company. In 1880 the Metropol-
itan Telephone and Telegraph Company was
organized in New York, and he entered its service,
and has ever since been connected with it and its

294

successor, the New York Telephone Company, which
was organized in 1896. While thus serving the
Telephone Company, however, he gave his attention
also to the study of law, in the Law School of New
York University, and after pursuing its regular
course was graduated with honors in 18S5, with the
degree of Bachelor of Laws, receiving at the same
time the prize of One Hundred Dollars for the best
oral examination. Since his admission to the Bar
Mr. Cahill has devoted himself chiefly to the prac-
tice of corporation law, upon which he has become
a recognized authority in connection with the vari-

JOHN H. CAHILL

ous enterprises with which he is connected. As
already stated, he was identified with the Metropol-
itan Telephone and Telegraph Company from its
organization down to its absorption into the New
York Telephone Company, the great concern which
operates in New York City and the suburbs. He
was also Secretary, Counsel, and Director of the
Westchester Telephone Company down to 1896,
when it also was absorbed into the New York com-
pany. He took a prominent part in the organiza-
tion of the latter corporation, and is now its
Vice-President, Secretary, and Counsel, and one of
its Directors. He sustains the same relationship to
the Empire City Subway Company, the Union Sub-
way Construction Company, the East Jersey Tele-

phone & Telegraph Company, and the North Jersey
Telephone & Telegraph Company. He is a Director
of the American Telephone & Telegraph Company,
which operates throughout the country and is popu-
larly known as the Long Distance Telephone Com-
pany. He is also a Director of the Chesapeake &
Potomac Telephone Company of Washington, Dis-
trict of Columbia ; the New England Telephone &
Telegraph Company of Boston, Massachusetts ; the
Northern New York Telephone Company of Lowell,
Massachusetts ; the Delaware & Atlantic Telegraph
& Telephone Company of Philadelphia ; La Capital
Company of Buenos Ayres ; the Southwestern Tele-
phone & Telegraph Company, and some other cor-
porations. Mr. Cahill is a Democrat in politics,
but has held no public office. He is a member
of the Association of the Bar of the City of New
York ; the Alumni Association of New York Univer-
sity ; the American-Irish Historical Society ; the
New York State Bar Association ; the Friendly Sons
of St. Patrick ; The Democratic Club of the City
of New York ; the Catholic Club of the City of New
York, and other social organizations. He was mar-
ried in 1886 to Ernestine M. Brown, who bore him

He was married to Laura Forster of Brooklyn, and
has one child, Laura Marie Langer. His address is
No. 1224 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, New York. His
residence at that place is known as the " Lefferts
Mansion," one of the few remaining historic land-
marks of old Brooklyn, situated in the heart of the
Bedford section. It was built upwards of one hun-
dred and fifty years ago, and was the home of the
old and well known Dutch family of Lefferts.
Surrounding the place are beautiful and well kept
grounds, forming a part of the Old North Farm,
which was purchased of the Canarsie Indians in
1749. During the Revolutionary War it was often
the temporary abode of such eminent men as
Generals Washington, Lafayette, Greene, Clinton,

LINDSAY, John Douglas, 1865-

Class of 1887 Law.
Born in New York, 1865; studied in public schools;
New York University Law School, 1887 ; attached to
District Attorney's office as clerk, Deputy, and Assist-
ant District Attorney from 1882 to 1898 ; since then in
practice in firm of Nicoll, Anable & Lindsay, New
York.

JOHN DOUGLAS LINDSAY, long a member
of the District Attorney's staff in New York
City and now a member of the law firm of Nicoll,
Anable & Lindsay, is descended through his father,
William Francis Lindsay, M.D., from early New
England stock. His uncle, the Rev. John W.
Lindsay of Boston, was a prominent Methodist
Episcopal clergyman, and Dean of the Theological
Department of Boston University. His grandfather
was the Rev. John Lindsay of Lynn, Massachusetts.
A great-grandfather was James Nourse of Salem,
Massachusetts, who enlisted as a private in Captain
Nathaniel Cushing's Company, in the First Regi-
ment of the Massachusetts Line, under Colonel
Joseph Vose, in March, 1777, ^^ the age of sixteen
years, and served through the Revolution. James
Nourse was a grandson of Rebecca Nourse who
was the most famous victim of the " witchcraft
craze " at Salem, Massachusetts, and who was hanged
as a witch in 1692. The maiden name of Mr.
Lindsay's mother was Sarah Ann Vradenburg, and
she belonged to a family long settled in Westchester
County, New York. Mr. Lindsay is also related to
the Valentine and Lawrence families. He was born
in New York City on December 31, 1865, and re-
ceived his education in the public schools of the city,
finishing with Grammar School No. 35. Immediately

upon leaving the grammar school he entered the
well known law office of Scott Lord, in New York,
as a clerk and student. That was in 1S80-81.
The next year, 1881-82, he was in the office of
Lord, Van Dyke & Lord. In June, 1882, he entered
the office of the District Attorney for the County of
New York, as a clerk, and remained therein, in one
capacity or another, for fifteen and a half years, or
until January i, 1898. While engaged as clerk in
that office, and for the purpose of preparing for his
examination for the Bar, he entered the Law School
of New York University, in the Class of 1887. He

JNO. D. LINDSAY

was admitted to the Bar in February, 1887, and in
June of the same year he was appointed an Assistant
District Attorney, and held that place until January
I, 1898, when he resigned to engage in private
practice. Since that date he has been a member
of the law firm of Nicoll, Anable & Lindsay, and
has held a conspicuous and honorable place at the
Bar of both the State and United States courts.
Among the important cases with which Mr. Lindsay
has been identified before the Court of Appeals,
the highest tribunal of the State of New York, may
be recalled the Welch Case, involving the jurisdic-
tion of the state over offences (manslaughter by
pilot running down and capsizing a yacht) com-
mitted on navigable rivers ; the Nechamcus Case,

328

UNIFERSiriES AND THEIR SONS

involving the constitutionality of the statute requir-
ing the registration of plumbers ; and the Lawrence
and Sturgis cases, involving the constitutionality of
the New York racing laws. Among his cases be-
fore the Supreme Court of the United States have
been the Eno Case, dealing with the question of the
jurisdiction of state courts over offences by officers
of national banks ; the Hawker Case, concerning
the constitutionality of the statute making it a mis-
demeanor to practice medicine after conviction of
crime ; the case of Dr. Buchanan, involving the
question of the jurisdiction of Federal courts in
determining questions arising under state laws ; the
Havnor Case, concerning the constitutionality of the
statute prohibiting the practice of the barber's trade
on Sundays ; and the Neely Case, involving the
constitutionality of the act of Congress permitting
extradition to Cuba, and also raising questions con-
cerning the rights of military occupation and the war
powers of the Executive. Mr. Lindsay is a Democrat,
but has not been active in politics and has held
no office other than that of Assistant District Attor-
ney. He is a member, and from i88S to January,
1902, was Treasurer, of the University Law School
Alumni Association. He is also a member of the
Bar Association of New York, the Calumet Club,
Sons of the Revolution, the Knollwood Country
Club, the Harbor Hill Golf Club, and the Fort
Orange Club of Albany, New York. He has found
time amid his professional activities to write a num-
ber of articles on legal and historical topics, such
as "The Boston Massacre," and "Extradition in
the American Colonies," in "The National Maga-
zine," and "The Court of Star Chamber " in "The
Green Bag." He was married on June 3, 1895, to
Frances Stella Gregory, daughter of Dr. Elisha Hall
Gregory of St. Louis, Missouri, and makes his home
at No. 42 West Ninth Street, New York. His
office is at No. 31 Nassau Street.

MITCHELL, Winthrop Dodd, 1862-

Class of 1887 Med.
Born at East Orange, N. J., 1862 ; studied in public
schools ; prepared for college at Phillips Academy,
Andover, Mass.; graduated M.D., Bellevue Hospital
Medical College, 1887 ; Interne at St. Vincent's Hos-
pital, New York, two years ; studied in Vienna, Munich
and Dublin; on staff of St. Michael's Hospital, Newark,
N. J., 1893-1900; Visiting Surgeon, St. Michael's, since
1900; Health Officer, East Orange, N. J., 1894-1900.

WINTHROP DODD MITCHELL, M.D., of
East Orange, New Jersey, was born in that
city on May 7, 1862. He is descended from some
of the earliest settlers of that region, his father,

WINTHROP D. MITCHELL

Aaron P. Mitchell, having been descended from the
Peck family, which settled in Orange in 1641, and
his mother, whose maiden name was Anna Elizabeth
Dodd, tracing her ancestry to the Dodds, who made
their home there in 1639. His early education
was received in the public schools of the town, after
which he went to Phillips Academy, at Andover,
Massachusetts, and pursued its college preparatory
course. Instead of going on with a regular college
course, however, he went directly to Bellevue Hos-
pital Medical College, now a part of New York
University, for a three years' professional course,
and was there graduated in 1887, with the degree
of Doctor of Medicine. For the ensuing two years
he served as an Interne at St. Vincent's Hospital

in New York, and then went abroad to continue
his studies. After spending a year and a half in
Vienna, Munich and Dublin he returned to New
York and spent two years in association with his
preceptor. Professor Frederic S. Dennis. In 1893
his father died, and he thereupon removed from
New York to his old home in East Orange, of
which place he was Health Officer from 1894 to
1900. He entered the service of St. Michael's
Hospital, Newark, New Jersey, in 1893, as a mem-
ber of its Surgical Staff, and remained in that
capacity until 1900. In the spring of the latter
year Dr. William Pierson resigned his place as
Visiting Surgeon to St. Michael's, on account of
failing health — he died in June, 1900 — and desig-
nated Dr. Mitchell as his successor. Dr. Mitchell
has accordingly served in that capacity since that
time, in addition to conducting his own private
practice. He is a member of the Essex County
Medical Society and the Orange Mountain Medical
Society. He was married on April 9, 1889, to
Harriet Morgan, of Worcester, Massachusetts, and
has one child : Beatrice Mitchell.

SNOW, Sargent F., 1861-

Class of 1887 Med.
Born at Reading, N. Y., 1861 ; studied at University
of Vermont; graduated M.D., New York University
Medical College, 1887; engaged in practice since 1887;
specialist in diseases of ear, nose and throat.

SARGENT F. SNOW, M.D., son of Lyman
P. C. and Elizabeth (Robbins) Snow, of
French and English ancestry, was born at Reading,
New York, in 1861, and studied in the common
schools, the Dundee Preparatory School, and the
University of Vermont. He was for some years
engaged in teaching in the common schools and
Dundee Preparatory School. Finally he entered
the Medical College of New York University, and
was graduated from it with the degree of Doctor of
Medicine in 1887. For the next four years he was
engaged in general practice at Skaneateles, New
York, and then, after taking a post-graduate course
of study in the New York Medical School, he settled
in Syracuse, New York, where he has ever since been
engaged in a highly successful practice, limited to
ailments of the nose, ear and throat. He is a
member of the international Otological Congress,
the American Laryngological, Rhinological and Oto-
logical Society, the American Medical Association,
the New York State Medical Society, the Central

New York Medical Association, the Onondaga
County Medical Society, the Onondaga Medical
Association, the Syracuse Academy of Medicine,
and the Century Club and Citizens' Club of Syra-
cuse. In a paper on " Heniicrania," in 1894, Dr.
Snow called particular attention to the middle tur-
binate region of the head, emphasizing the fact that
pressures in that locality were often the cause of
sick headaches, besides severe cranial neuralgias.
In one on " Intranasal Growths" he again empha-
sized the importance of a close scrutiny of the olfac-
tory regions, and pointed out the fact that many

SARGENT F. SNOW

cases of chronic catarrhal deafness and laryngeal
catarrh proved amenable to treatment after free
drainage of this locality was attained. In a paper
on " Aural and Laryngeal Tuberculosis," published
in 1895, a report of cases showing the benefits of a
winter residence in the Adirondacks was made, and
the opinion advanced that in the Adirondacks these
tubercular patients could find the climatic and
physical environment required, and that they im-
proved more in the fall and winter than in the
summer months. In a paper read in 1897, en-
titled "The Adirondacks in Winter for Tubercular
Patients," these points were again emphasized, and
cases cited to show that not only the incipient but
those in the second stage received much benefit

from an all the year around residence. In this
article the opinion was ventured that " the State
authorities will learn that those magnificent virgin
forests constitute an all the year around sanitarium."
He further said that " we can perhaps look again
into the future and see the hospitals of adjacent
cities relieved of their depressing and germ-produc-
ing tubercular cases because of hospitals or sanatoria
located at some convenient spot in the woods."
This prophecy seems now likely to prove true, and,
together with the recommendations for an all the
year around residence, appears to have been original.
In the article on " Headaches from Nasal Causes,"
published in 1897, and later in an article on
" Cephalagra and Tic-Douloureux," attention was
again called to the great frequency of these reflex dis-
turbances from such causes. In 1898 a paper with
report of cases showing the possibilities of relieving
long standing deafness of catarrhal origin was read
before the American Laryngological, Rhinological
and Otological Society. Again one entitled " 20th
Century Prognosis in Chronic Catarrhal Deafness,"
read at the 6th International Otological Congress in
1898 in London, pointed out the fact that with our im-
proved facilities and appliances a prognosis based on
results obtained under less favorable auspices was
liable to be wrong, and that the author's experience
indicated that many so-called incurable cases were
capable of much improvement under modern advan-
tages. Continued investigation in catarrhal deafness
led to a paper on the " systemic factors " in this dis-
ease, which was read by invitation before the Section
on Laryngology and Otology of the American Medical
Association, held in Atlantic City in 1900. Emphasis
was again laid on the systemic factors in a paper
presented at the Laryngological, Rhinological and
Otological Society in New York City in 1901, and
again before the New York State Medical Society,
entitled " The Constitutional State Versus Catarrhal
Deafness," and in one recently presented at the
American Laryngological, Rhinological and Oto-
logical Society, held in Washington in 1902, under
the title " Points of Necessary Prominence in the
Treatment of Chronic Catarrhal Deafness." Dr.
Snow also accepted an invitation to read a paper
before the Otological Section of Kings County
Medical Society on " Personal Methods of Treating
Chronic Catarrhal Otitis Media," March 20, 1902.
In a paper on "Nasal and Aural Complications in
Epidemic Influenza," presented at the Section of
Laryngology and Otology, at the fiftieth annual
meeting of the American Medical Association in

331

1889, and in a paper before the same section in
1902 at Saratoga, New York, on " Conservatism
ill the Treatment of Acute Mastoiditis," particular
stress was laid on the benefit of continuous and
prolonged application of cold in uncomplicated
mastoiditis where free drainage through the drum
and superior posterior wall is obtained and main-
tained. Careful nursing in these cases was pointed
out as being absolutely imperative but productive of
most brilliant results. Dr. Snow's bibliography in-
cludes : " Reflex Cough from Nasal Pressure," read
before the Syracuse Medical Association ; " Hemi-
crania and other Neuralgic Affections of the Head

College, 1883; graduated D.V.S. (ad eundem degree),

1883; officer of various organizations; author and
editor.

TT7ILLIAM HERBERT LOWE, D.V.S., one

\\ of the most prominent veterinary surgeons,

is a native of Little Falls, New Jersey, where he was

born on June 6, 1862. His father, J. Payne Lowe,

344

UNIVERSITIES AND THEIR SONS

was a descendant of Sir Hudson Lowe, the Gov-
ernor of St. Helena when Napoleon Bonaparte was
imprisoned there, and was a native of Ireland. He
came to this country when a young man, and as
a writer, lecturer and publisher was one of the
first pioneers of veterinary science here, and was a
Trustee of the Columbia Veterinary College. Dr.
Lowe's mother, whose maiden name was Susan M.
English, was a native of the State of Michigan. Dr.
Lowe was sent in his boyhood to various public
schools, on Long Hill and in the Passaic Valley,
New Jersey, and in New York City. He also at-
tended a private school in Paterson, New Jersey,
for a time, and completed a course at the Alex-
ander Military Institute at White Plains, New York.
Then he entered the Columbia Veterinary College
in New York, of which his father was a trustee, and
was graduated from it in 1883. For the next two
years he was assistant to the late Dr. J. F. Mustoe,
who at that time had an extensive veterinary prac-
tice in Brooklyn, New York. In 1885 he began the
practice of his profession in the City of Paterson,
New Jersey, and has there remained ever since.
The Columbia Veterinary College was merged into
the American Veterinary College in 1884 and in
1888 Dr. Lowe received from the latter the ad
eundem degree of Doctor of Veterinary Surgery.
His diploma was duly certified by the New York
Board of Regents of the State University, and he
was registered as a legal practitioner in New York
City, but he elected to devote most of his attention
to his practice in New Jersey. He was a Trustee of
the American Veterinary College, and he continued
in that place until the merging of the college into
New York University. He was one of the first
of the trustees to favor and advocate this con-
solidation, and he was chairman of the commit-
tee which conducted the negotiations and completed
the transaction. In his practice at Paterson Dr.
Lowe has had a distinguished career. He estab-
lished at Nos. 188-190 Ellison Street, Paterson, the
Paterson Veterinary Hospital, said to have been the
largest and best equipped institution of the kind in
the State of New Jersey. There he conducted not
only a hospital, but also a veterinary dispensary and
an ambulance service, with a large ambulance for
horses and a small one for dogs and other animals.
He was from 1887 to 1893 United States Veterinary
Officer of the Port of New York, and Superintendent
of the Federal Animal Quarantine Station, at Gar-
field, New Jersey. He is City Veterinary Surgeon of
Paterson and connected with the Paterson Board of

Health, and Veterinary Expert for the State of New
Jersey. He is President of the Veterinary Medical
Association of New Jersey, Treasurer of the Ameri-
can Veterinary Medical Association, ex-President of
the Alumni Association of the American Veterinary
College, Honorary Fellow of the Medical Associa-
tion of the American Veterinary College, honorary
member of the Veterinary Medical Association of
New York County, a Good Roads Commissioner of
the State of New Jersey, appointed by the Governor,
a member of the New Jersey State Sanitary Associa-
tion, and Chairman of the Committee on Animal

Diseases and Animal Foods of that body. President
of the Veterinary Alumni of New York University,
a member of the Board of Managers of the Paterson
General Hospital, Chairman of the Committee of
the American Veterinary Medical Association on
Army Veterinary Legislation, a member of the
Hamilton Club of Paterson, and the North Jersey
Country Club near Paterson. He is a vestryman of
St. Paul's Episcopal Churcli of Paterson, and Presi-
dent of St. Paul's Men's Association. Dr. Lowe is
a member of Ivanhoe Lodge, No. 88, F. & A. M.,
of Adelphic Chapter, No. 33, R. A. M., Terry Coun-
cil, No. 6, Royal and Select Masters, and of Melita
Commandery, No. 13, Knights Templar, all of
Paterson, New Jersey. He is a collaborator on

UNIVERSITIES AND THEIR SONS

345

" The American Veterinary Review," and compiler
of "The Veterinary Medical Register " of the State
of New Jersey. He was the author of the chapters
on " Non-Contagious Diseases of the Organs of
Respiration," " Surgical Operations," and " Tumors,"
in the work on " The Diseases of Cattle," published
by the United States Department of Agriculture in
1892. He was largely instrumental in securing
legislation in New Jersey requiring registration of
all practitioners of veterinary medicine and surgery,
and is now seeking the establishment of a State
Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners. The New
Jersey Legislature of 1902 enacted Dr. Lov;e's bill
entitled " An Act to Regulate the Practice of Veter-
inary Medicine, Surgery and Dentistry in the State
of New Jersey, to License Veterinarians and to
Punish Persons Violating the Provisions Thereof,"
which was duly approved by Governor Murphy and
is now Chapter iS, Laws of 1902. This law pro-
vided for the appointment of a State Board of
Veterinary Medical Examiners by the Governor.
Governor Murphy promptly appointed Dr. Lowe a
member of the State Board and when the Board
held its first meeting at the State Capitol at Trenton,
the Doctor was elected President by a unanimous
vote. Practitioners entering the veterinary pro-
fession in New Jersey now have to be graduates of
recognized colleges requiring at least a three years'
course, and must pass a satisfactory examination
before the State Board of Veterinary Medical Exam-
iners. The office of the board has been established
at the President's office in Paterson, and the exam-
inations are held semi-annually at the State House
in Trenton. In the year 1900 he was the organizer
of the consolidation of the three state veterinary
societies hitherto existing in New Jersey into one
strong and harmonious association — the Veterinary
Medical Association of New Jersey. When Dr.
Lowe merged the three state societies into one
organization he was the recipient of an ivory and
gold gavel, and when the new law was placed upon
the statute books the profession presented to him a
silver table service as a token of their appreciation
of his labors in behalf of the profession. He was
married on October 4, 1893, to Carrie Amiraux,
daughter of the late Dr. J. C. Amiraux, formerly
City Physician of Paterson. His residence is at
No. 441 Ellison Street, Paterson, And until 1902 his
offices were in the Paterson Veterinary Hospital
Building at Nos. 188-190 of the same street. A
conflagration on February 9, 1902, destroyed the
Paterson Veterinary Hospital buildings and most of

their equipment. The Veterinary .'\rchives of New
Jersey, Dr. Lowe's personal library, pathological and
other specimens, and much that money cannot re-
place. Dr. Lowe's offices are now in the temporary
quarters of the Paterson Veterinary Hospital at the
corner of Paterson and Van Houten streets. Dr.
Lowe has many expressions of sympathy for his
great loss of property by fire from prominent mem-
bers of the veterinary profession of the old world as
well as from the profession in America.

Class of i8go Med.

University; graduated M.D., New York University
Medical College, i8go ; pursued course in New York
Post-Graduate Med. School and Hospital ; in practice

HOMER MONROE MACE, M.D., was born
at Livingstonville, Schoharie County, New
York, on August 15, 1864. Through his father,
Henry S. Mace, he is descended from Charles
Stewart, who fought in the American Revolution
and also was present at Quebec, when that city was
taken and both Wolfe and Montcalm were slain. He
was a patriot soldier in the Revolution, and together
with Colonel Ethan Allen was taken prisoner and
conveyed to England. Through his mother, whose
maiden name was Ann Gates, Dr. Mace is descended
from Oldham Gates, who fought in the Revolution
and was present at the capture of Burgoyne and his
army at Saratoga. Dr. Mace received his general
education in public schools at Durham Centre and
at Windham, New York, and in the Durham Select
School. Then, owing to the limited means at his
disposal, he was thrown upon his own resources for
support, and accordingly was unable to pursue a

collegiate course. When he was twenty-three years
old, however, in the fall of 1887, he began the study
of medicine under Dr. D. M. Leonard, of Broome
Centre, New York. The next spring he entered
the Medical Department of the University of Ver-
mont, and in the fall of 1888 was matriculated in
the New York University Medical College. From
the latter he was graduated with the degree of
Doctor of Medicine in 1890. Thereupon he estab-
lished himself in practice at Hobart, New York, and
there remained until the spring of 1897. Then,
finding the long journeys about the mountainous

H. MONROE MACE

regions of Delaware County, especially in the severe
winters, too much of a tax upon his strength, he
removed to Catskill, New York, where he has ever
since remained. While at Hobart he was made a
Free and Accepted Mason and a member of the
Independent Order of Odd Fellows. He was also
for five years an active member, and for part of that
time Chief, of the Hobart Fire Department. Before
settling at Catskill he pursued a course at the New
York Post-Graduate Medical School and Hospital,
and received its diploma. Since his removal to
Catskill he has become a member of the Sons of the
American Revolution, and has affiliated with Cats-
kill Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons. He is a
member of the Greene County Medical Society. He

was enabled to study malarial fever in all its stages,
and make microscopical diagnoses in the Hospital
St. Giovanni. In Paris Professor Pean instructed
him to do vaginal hysterectomy by the clamp
method, also showing him the advantage of the
vaginal route in selected cases. In London Sir

studies he took the degree of Doctor of Medicine
in Berlin, receiving the highest mark, summa cum

seventh generation of direct descent from
Richard Cocke, who came from England about 1626
and settled in Virginia, the family seats there being
at Malvern Hill and Bremo on the James River.
From Richard Cocke (i) the line runs through
Richard, the younger (2), Thomas (3), Lemuel (4),
Lemuel (5), Richard (6), and William Irby (7), to
William Irby Cocke (8), the subject of this sketch.
On the side of his mother, whose maiden name was
Mary Rebecca Cleveland, he is descended from
Moses Cleveland, who came from England in 1635
and settled either at Plymouth or at Boston, Massa-
chusetts, the line running from Moses Cleveland
through Samuel (2), Joseph (3), p]zra (4),
Ezra (5), Ezra (6), Ezra (7), and Mary Rebecca

(8) Cleveland Cocke. Dr. Cocke was born at
Travis, Austin County, Texas, on April 28, 1862, and
attended the village school at Belleville in that
county. His father died when he was eleven years

then for two years worked on a farm. In the winter
of T877-78 he attended Jones's Commercial College
at Austin, Texas, and while there he entered the em-
ployment of a Quaker, Robert Smith, as utility boy
in a general store. The engagement lasted three
weeks, when for an infraction of rules he was per-
emptorily dismissed — an experience which he has

VVM. I. COCKE

ever regarded with gratitude, since it taught him a
valuable lesson. In 1878 he returned to Belleville,
and thereafter worked in the Civil Engineering De-
partment of the Gulf, Colorado & Santa F6 Rail-
road, then under construction. In 1881 he was a
transit man on the Texas Western Narrow Gauge
Railroad, and made a survey of two hundred miles
for a road that was never built. Early in 1882 he
began working in the grocery store of his uncle, Wil-
liam D. Cleveland, at Houston, Texas, and remained ,
there four years, filling the place of shipping clerk.
At the beginning of 1886 he engaged in business for
himself at weighing cotton, forwarding freight, and
dealing in coal and wood. A little later he was
joined in this business by his brother Richard, and

388

they remained together until August i, 1888, when
the business was turned over to Richard and WiUiam
came to New York to study medicine at the Belle-
vue Hospital Medical College. From that institu-
tion, which is now a part of New York University, he
was graduated with the degree of Doctor of Medicine
on March 31, 1891. For a few months he was a

York, beginning as a "monitor" at fifty dollars a
yeat and working her way up to a principalsliip.
Slie visited Boston schools and introduced some of
Horace Mann's methods into her little school in
Factory Street. Beginners were sent to visit her to
learn her methods of teaching and keeping records.
She was in the first group of teachers to receive a
city certificate and license to teach. Dr. Camp re-
ceived her early education at home, then studied at
the famous Twelfth Street Pubhc School in New
York, and finally pursued a course in the New York
Normal College. She became interested at an early
date in the School of Pedagogy of New York Uni-
versity, and entered it as a student. She was grad-
uated with the Master's degree in 1892, and received
the Doctor's degree in 1893. For a number of
years she has been engaged in teaching, with marked
success. She has been a teacher in the Preparatory
Department of the Adelphi Academy, and in the
grammar grades of public schools No. 5 and No.
109 (as Head of Department) in Brooklyn, and
since December i, 1896, has been Tutor in Peda-
gogics in the New York Normal College. Dr.
Camp has always kept some study in hand not re-
quired by her school work. She has been a student
in the classes of the Brooklyn Art Association and
in out-door sketch classes. She has studied music,
and generally taken charge of the singing while
teaching in elementary schools. When she was at
No. 5, the school attained some celebrity for its
repertoire and rendering of music. Now that her
work is the preparation of teachers she seeks to
avoid the dangers incident to a theorist by keeping
in touch with elementary school work. With this
object in view she generally devotes her spring va-
cations to visiting schools, and has seen some of the
best from Brookline to Chicago. She is a member
of many teachers' organizations in both Brooklyn
and Manhattan, of the Lydia F. Wadleigh Associa-
tion, of the Brooklyn Woman's Club, and of the
Society of Doctors of Pedagogy of New York Uni-
versity, of which last she is now Vice-President.
Her home is at No. 171 East 83rd Street, New
York.

EAGLE, Walter John, 1859-

Law School, 1891-1892.
Born in London, England, 1859; studied in public
schools ; came to America in 1887 ; student and private
secretary to Austin Abbott, 1887 to 1891 ; studied in
New York University Law School, 1891-92; engaged
in newspaper work, 1892-95; engaged in editing law
reports since 1895.

WALTER JOHN EAGLE was born in Lon-
don, England, on October 4, 1859, the
son of Walter Newbon and Sarah (Burnham) Eagle.
He received his education in English public schools
and in 1887 came to America and settled in New
York. Soon after his arrival in this country he
entered the office of Austin Abbott, the eminent
jurist and legal writer and Dean of the Law School
of New York University, acting in the capacity of
his private secretary from 1887 to 1891. In the
fall of the latter year he entered the University Law
School with the intention of pursuing and complet-
ing its course. A severe attack of illness that win-
ter, however, confined him to his home for eleven
weeks and incapacitated him for study for the time
being. In consequence he withdrew from the
University at the end of the class term and in the
summer of 1S92 he entered the field of newspaper
work. He was at first a political and special writer
on " The Harlem Local Reporter " of New York,
a Democratic newspaper under the editorship of
John A. Mason, who was Internal Revenue Collector
under President Cleveland, and State Tax Assessor
under Governor, Flower. Mr. Eagle was connected
with this paper for more than three years and at
the same time contributed special articles and poems
to other papers and magazines. In 1894 he became
Editor of " The Harlem Gazette," but that paper
did not prove a financial success. Later he edited
" The Brooklyn Leader," a local paper in South
Brooklyn. In 1S95 he was engaged by Remick &
Schilling, law publishers of New York, as Assistant
Editor of the Series of " American Negligence
Cases," edited by T. F. Hamilton, of the New York
Bar, a series of legal reports, covering all negligence
cases from the earliest period to 1896. The value
of his services has been cordially recognized by the
editor and by various legal authorities and periodi-
cals. In 1896 a new series was begun by the same
firm, entitled " American Negligence Reports,"

covering all negligence cases since 1896. The
editor of this series is John M. Gardner of the New
York Bar, who practically entrusts the whole prepa-
ration of the volumes to Mr. Eagle and cordially
recognizes in the prefaces to the several volumes
the value of the latter's services. In 1901 Mr.
Eagle became Editor of " American Negligence
Cases," and volumes xi and xii of that series ap-
peared under his editorship. A number of special
notes on legal topics from Mr. Eagle's pen appear
in each of the series of cases and reports. What-
ever success has been achieved by him as editor of
law reports, Mr. Eagle attributes to his association
with the late Austin Abbott, and to the thorough
instruction and training which that great man gave
to all who had the coveted privilege of being his
students. Mr. Eagle's course in the University Law
School, short as it was, still further added to his
equipment for this work. While engaged iii legal
editing, Mr. Eagle has occasionally contributed arti-
cles in prose and verse to various newspapers. He
was formerly an active member of various literary
clubs, but has been compelled to withdraw from
them on account of the pressure of professional
duties. He was formerly a member, also, of the
Harlem Democratic Club and of the Unitarian Club
of New York, but has withdrawn from these since
removing to Brooklyn. He is a member of Yew
Tree Lodge, No. 461 Free and Accepted Masons.
His home is at No. 363 Ninth Street, Brooklyn,
New York.

duties of his father's farm. Then, down to his
twenty-fifth year, he taught school in his native

the old, substantial New York houses, was of Scotch
descent, as the name MacBride indicates, while
her grandmother, whose maiden name was Biggs,
was English. .'Vfter being taught to read and write

by her mother, Jenny Biggs Merrill was sent to a
public school in New York at the age of seven
years, and continued to attend it until she was fif-
teen. Then she entered the Normal College of the
City of New York, and was graduated from it as
Valedictorian in 187 1, and received at once an ap-
pointment as critic teacher. Four years later, in
1875-76, she pursued a course in the Kraus Semi-
nary for Kindergarten Training, in New York, and
then entered upon her notable career as a founder
and promoter of public kindergartens. She organ-
ized, under Dr. Thomas Hunter in 1877, the first
public kindergarten in New York City, in the
Training Department of the Normal College, and
the next year was appointed Tutor in Pedagogy in
the Normal College, a place which she filled with
eminent success for eighteen years, leaving it in
1896 to enter the service of the City Government
as Supervisor of Kindergartens. Meantime she
sought and acquired for herself higher education
in pedagogics. She was one of the first students
of the School of Pedagogy of New York University,
and used her influence widely in its favor, believing
that it filled a great need in the city and country.
In 1892 she was graduated with the degree of
Doctor of Pedagogy upon examination. As already
stated, she was appointed Supervisor of Kindergar-
tens for the City of New York in 1896. She held
that place until 1901, when the name of it was
changed, under the new charter, to that of Director
of Kindergartens, under which latter title she is still
rendering the city invaluable service. She stands
for progressive thought in the kindergarten and has
labored especially for the higher academic training
of kindergartners. Dr. Merrill has long been known
as an active Sunday school worker. From 1876 to
1882 she was engaged in Normal Sunday school
work, teaching in summer classes at Chautauqua
and elsewhere. In 1880 she was a delegate to the
Robert Raikes Centennial Commemoration in Lon-
don, and delivered an address there, in Memorial
Hall, on " The Training of Teachers." During
the past ten years she has been a student of so-
ciology, and assisted in the establishment of the
" Settlement " of the Associate Alumnae of the
Normal College in East 72 nd Street. She has also
made public addresses before the Child Study and
Kindergarten sections of the National Education
Association. She is the editor and author of several
publications, including " Songs for Little Folks,"
" Bible Pictures and Stories," " Little Folks' Bible
Gallery," " Children's Sunday School Quarterly,"

WILLIAM LAWRENCE HOGEBOOM,

origin. The family was transplanted from Holland
to this country in the person of Johannes Hogeboom,
who came over when William Kieft was the second
Governor of New York, or New Netherlands as it
was then called. This pioneer of the Hogeboom
family purchased from the Indians a large tract of
land about twelve miles northeast of Hudson, New
York, which now forms part of the Town of Ghent,
in Columbia County. From that day to this that
homestead has always been in the possession of
Johannes Hogeboom and, after his death, of his
direct descendants. The Hogebooms intermarried

with other families of English and French Huguenot
' origin. Captain Joseph Power, a great-grandfather
of Dr. Hogeboom on the paternal side, was with
Ethan Allen at the capture of Ticonderoga, and
others on that side of the family traced their descent
from John Howland of the " Mayflower " Pilgrims.
Dr. Hogeboom's father, Judge John T. Hogeboom,
was a prominent lawyer and jurist, and was General
Appraiser of the Port of New York during the ad-
ministrations of Presidents Lincoln, Johnson and
Grant. The maiden name of Dr. Hogeboom's
mother was Sarah Thankful McClellan, and she
came, as the name indicates, of Scottish stock.
Her grandfather, Hugh McClellan, was Captain of
the Minute Men of Colerain, Massachusetts, and
fought against the British around Boston after the
Battle of Lexington. Her father, Samuel McClellan,
was widely known as a physician in Rensselaer and
Columbia counties, New York. Both the families
of Hogeboom and McClellan produced many phy-
sicians and lawyers. Dr. Hogeboom, the subject of
this sketch, was born at Ghent, Columbia County,
New York, on March 21, 1857. His early educa-

sued its regular three years' course. He was grad-
uated with the degree of Doctor of Medicine in
April, 1893, being the President of his class. After
spending a year and a half in post-giaduate and
hospital work in New York, he began regular prac-
tice in the City of Troy, New York, and has ever
since been thus engaged. He is Attending Phy-
sician and an Assistant Surgeon to the Samaritan
Hospital in Troy, and Secretary and Treasurer of
the Second District branch of the New York State
Medical Association. For four years he was Secre-
tary and Treasurer of the Medical Association of

and English on the maternal side. He was born at
Wurtsboro, Sullivan County, New York, on April 8,
1872, and received his general education in the
local village school. He worked on a farm, was a
newsboy on Park Row, New York City, and then
entered the service of the West Shore Railroad

candidates. In 1902 he vigorously opposed the
then existing Republican leadership in the Seventh
Assembly District of Brooklyn, charging the leader
with unfaithfulness to Republican principles, and he
ran for Representative in Congress as an Inde-
pendent Republican against that leader, the result
being that the Democratic candidate was elected.
This was regarded as a moral victory for Mr. White,
and a rebuke for the party leader whom he had
opposed. Mr. White was married to Rose Baxter
of Newburgh, New York, on October 7, 1891, and
has two children: Hazel and Rose White. His
office is in Temple Bar Building, No. 40 Court

ever, at the age of thirteen years, he entered the
office ot Joseph E. Newburger, in New York, as a
law student and remained there during his univer-
sity course. At the age of sixteen he became
Managing Clerk of that office, and held that place
until he opened his own office as a practicing lawyer,
at No. 2ZO Broadway, in January, 1897, where he is
still in practice. Mr. Klein first came into promi-
nence at the Bar as counsel for the plaintiff in the
case of Appleton against Welch as- Receiver, in-
which case he established the principle that a
receiver as such is liable for goods and chattels
entrusted to him. This action arose through the
plaintiff's entering a hotel and leaving his overcoat
in charge of one of the employees. On his leaving
the hotel after having dined the coat was not to be
found. Action was brought to recover the value of
the coat and judgment was obtained, which judg-
ment on appeal was affirmed by the full Bench of
the Supreme Court. Thereafter Mr. Klein became
counsel for the Leo Von Raven Publishing Com-
pany and after a two years' legal conflict succeeded
in consolidating that company with the Frank V.
Strauss Company, thereby uniting two of the largest
theatre programme publishing concerns in the world.
He is now counsel for several New York theatres
and European theatrical interests, and is Secretary
of the Lederer Amusement Company, a corporation
exploiting various musical comedies and comic
operas. He also is counsel for a number of theatri-
cal writers and musical composers, for a number of
large manufacturing and mercantile establishments,
for several of the leading newspapers of Philadel-
phia, and for most of the large printing houses in
that city, and for the steamship ticket agents of the
Atlantic lines in London. From 1894 to 1898 he
was the representative of the official Law Reporter
in the City of New York. He prepared for publica-
tion and annotated the opinions of the General
Terra of the City Coiu't of the City of New York,
but was compelled to resign that work on account
of his own law practice. On November 24, 1901,
he was appointed a Commissioner by the United
States Circuit Court of Montana in the great Amal-
gamated Copper fight. He served in the suit of
John McGuinniss against the Boston and Montana
Copper Company and William G. Rockefeller, H.
H. Rogers, James Stillman, Anson R. Flower, Fred-
erick B. Olcott, P. J. Mcintosh and Leonard
Lewisohn were ordered to appear before him for
examination. In this hearing he declared Mr.
Flower in contempt of court for refusing to be

sworn before him, and Judge Lacombe in the
United States Circuit Court affirmed the ruling.
He was again appointed on January 9, 1902, Com-
missioner ill the action of the Boston and Montana
Consolidated Copper and Silver Mining Company
against the Montana Ore Purchasing Company, and
in the suit of the Butte and Boston Consolidated
Mining Company against the Montana Ore Com-
pany, to examine and take tlie testimony of the
same witnesses as before, all of whom were Directors
of the Amalgamated Copper Company. During
this hearing Mr. Mcintosh refused to testify and
Mr. Klein held him guilty of contempt of court and
was again sustained by Judge Lacombe in that rul-
ing. For the third time, on February 27, 1902,
Mr. Klein was similarly appointed a Commissioner
in the suit of E. Rollins Morse against the Montana
Ore Purchasing Company, to take the testimony of
Mr. Morae and the same witnesses as before, with
some others. Mr. Klein is a Democrat in politics

LAMB, George Alfred, 1872-

Class of 1896 Law.
Born in London, 1872 ; studied in law office of Davies,
Stone & Auerbach, and New York University Law
School; graduated LL.B., New York University Law
School, 1896; in active practice since; prominent in
corporation law.

GEORGE ALFRED LAMB, LL.B., one of the
most prominent New York lawyers of his
age, is of English nativity, having been born in
London in 1872. Before attaining his majority,
however, he decided to seek his fortune in some
other and newer country. For a time he thought
of going to South Africa, but finally decided in favor
of the United States. On coming hither he elected

to enter the legal profession, and with that end in
view became a clerk and student in the office of
the well known firm of Davies, Stone & Auerbach,
where he received a valuable practical training,
especially in that department of corporation law in
which he has since won his chief distinction. At
the same time he pursued a course in the evening
division of the New York University Law School,
and was graduated from that institution with the
honors of his class in 1896. On being graduated
and admitted to practice at the Bar of the State of
New York, Mr. Lamb promptly began work on his
own account. He formed a partnership with George
A. Voss, under the title of Lamb & Voss. Mr.
Voss had formerly been associated with the Hon.
Elihu Root, one of the leaders of the New York
Bar. This firm prospered until the end of 1900,
when it was amicably dissolved. Then Mr. Lamb
formed a partnership with ex-Judge Daniel W.
Guernsey, under the title of . Lamb & Guernsey,
which firm is still in existence, at No. 135 Broad-
way and is pursuing a conspicuously successful and
profitable career. While his practice is in a measure

general, Mr. Lamb, as already noted, pays special
attention to corporation law, and has particularly
been concerned in protecting the legal rights of
minority stockholders. In such work he has been

483

'engaged in litigation against some of the most
powerful corporations and financiers of the world,
and has figured in some of the most sensational
suits of recent years. Thus, in the summer of 1899
Mr. Lamb undertook the case of Marquand vs.
The Federal Steel Company. He alleged that the
Company had become very highly capitalized, and
that its proposal to pay dividends at that time, only
a few months after its organization, was not war-
ranted by its financial condition, but was designed
to induce the public to invest in its stock. He
therefore prayed for an injunction, restraining the
Company from paying dividends until the end of the
year. The Directory of The Federal Steel Company
included such financiers as J. Pierpont Morgan,
D. O. Mills, Norman B. Ream, Marshall Field, and
Anson R. Flower, and of course commanded the
services and acted upon the advice of some of
the ablest and most expert corporation lawyers in
the country. The act of so. young a lawyer as Mr.
Lamb in boldly challenging the legality of their
proceedings seemed startlingly presumptuous, but
was vindicated by the action of Justice Thomas, of
the United States Court, in granting the injunction
prayed for. Another similar suit was brought in
1901 against the Consolidated Gas Company of
New York. The Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company
was also an object of Mr. Lamb's professional at-
tention in behalf of a minority stockholder. Mr.
Lamb was retained by Washington Seligman, in
May, 1900, in a suit against John VV. Gates, Presi-
dent of the American Steel and Wire Company, for
alleged conspiracy. It was charged that Mr. Gates
had inflated the price of his company's stock by
issuing optimistic reports, thus inducing the public
to invest therein, and had then sold the stock
heavily, afterward depressing the price by means of
a pessimistic interview. A panic ensued, and much
excitement and indignation. Mr. Seligman ulti-
mately withdrew his suit, but Mr. Lamb then per-
sonally persevered in it with some startling results.
Li igo2 occurred perhaps the most sensational of
all Mr. Lamb's cases thus far, to wit, his suit against
the Northern Securities Company, in which he
subpoenaed and examined J. Pierpont Morgan as
a witness. In all these cases Mr. Lamb has shown
a masterful knowledge of the law, indomitable
courage, and almost infinite tact and resource in
contending, at times single-handed, with the great
combinations opposed to him, and he has thus won
a conspicuous place at the Bar and wide and favor-
able popularity with the public. In politics Mr.

Lamb is a Democrat, and his relations with the
management of that party are intimate and influ-
ential. He is a member of the Democratic, New
York Athletic, Calumet, Lotos, and Phi Delta Phi
clubs of New York, and is a Thirty-second Degree
member of the Masonic Order.

Born in New York, 1876 ; studied in public schools
and College of City of New York; graduated LL.B.,
New York University Law School, 1898; admitted to
Bar in 1897, and in practice since then in firm of Moss
& Feiner, New York, now Blumenthal, Moss & Feiner.

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN FEINER, LL.B., was
born in New York City on August 24, 1876.
His early education was gained in the public schools.
Thence he proceeded to the College of the City of
New York and pursued a course there, but did not
remain to its end and accordingly was not graduated.
His tastes and abilities led him in the direction of
the legal profession, and with that end in view he
entered a law office as clerk and student. In the
fall of 1895 he became a student in the Law School
of New York University. Before completing his
course there, however, indeed, at the end of his
second year in the Law School, in October, 1897,
he was admitted to the Bar and immediately formed
a co-partnership with Isaac Moss, under the firm
name of Moss & Feiner, with offices in New York
City. He continued his course at the University,
despite this precedent entry upon practice, and was
graduated with his class in June, 1898. In the
Law School Mr. Feiner occupied a prominent posi-
tion. In his first year there he was Vice-President
of his class organization, and won at the end of the
year the first prize of Seventy- five Dollars. In his
second year he declined a unanimous nomination to
the Class Presidency, but accepted the appointment
of Editor of the Law School Department of " The
Item," the University newspaper. He also organ-
ized the New York University Debating Society, and
arranged debates between New York University and
Georgetown University. At the end of this year he
again took the first prize of Seventy-five Dollars.
In his third year, after his admission to the Bar, he
was elected President of his class, and was appointed
New York University Editor of "The Calfskin," an
intercollegiate publication. At the end of this year
he for the third time took the first prize of Seventy-
five Dollars. He had been examined in seventeen
subjects in three years, and had passed with sixteen
A's and one B, out of a possible seventeen A's, thus
establishing the record which he now holds. Upon
his graduation he was spoken of prominently in con-
nection with a vacancy to be filled in the Law Fac-
ulty. He was elected a member, and then Secretary
for two successive terras, and is now Treasurer of the
Alumni Association of the Law School. Mr. Feiner's
popularity at the Law School has served to make him

one of the best known young lawyers in New York
City to-day. During his first year of practice he was
almost entirely engaged in counsel work for a large
number of graduates from the Law School. In
February, 1900, Maurice B. Blumenthal, then As-
sistant District Attorney under Asa Bird Gardiner,
entered the firm of Moss & Feiner, which then
became known as Blumenthal, Moss & Feiner.
The firm is largely engaged in corporation and
mercantile practice, and has a large and profitable
patronage. It has its offices at No. 35 Nassau
Street. Mr. Feiner was a contributor to the " Uni-
