Historical Summary.

'file Medical Co1le,ge of Louisiana, org ;mizcd September, 183!, began its first session .Tanuary, 1835, with eleven s tudents; was chartered April 2, 1835, and in March, 1836, issued tile first degrees in medi cine or science ever confened either in Louisiana or the Southwest ; Octo ber 20, 183 , the F aculty resolved to confer diplou1as also in pharmacy and, in March, 1839, issued the tl•·st M. Ph. degree .

The foun ders or the co llege in 18M were the six following : Doctors Thos. Hunt. Profe~sor of P hysiology and Anatomy; .Tno. Harrison, Adjunct and Demon­strato•· of .:\.nato my ; A ng n3tns II. Cenas, Professor of Mi dwifery; Chas. A. L uzen­berg , Professor of ::lurgay, who resigned January 28 ,1 837; T . R . Ingalls, P rofessor of Chemistry, who resig ned F ebruary 25, 1836; and E . B. Smith , Professor of Ma­teria Medica. Professor Smith withdrew before the first session began and Dr. Ed. H. Barton, w ho ser ved the college during the first six years, filled the vacancy; and Dr. Warren Stone discharged during tbe first session the duties of Professor Hanison, who was disa bled by sickness, Drs. James J ones and Jno. L. Riddell were chosen Professors i n 1836 to fill vacancies by resig nation. Of those now named the profes;or~, who by th e leng th and V<l lue of their services, did most to establish th e college and gain reput:1tion for it, were as follow.>:

Prof. A. H . Cenas , who served 27 of the years between 183! and October 30, 1865. H e died January 10, 1878.

Prof. Jno. Hanison, who served 15 yeari!, 1834 to March 1a, 1849, when he died.

Prof. Thos. Hunt, who serveil 20 of the years bet ween 1834 and May 20, 1867, when he died,

Prof. James J ones, who served 37 years, 1\'larch 2, 1836, to October 10, 1873, when he died.

Prof. J . L. Riddell , who ser ved 29 years, October 13, 1836, to October 7, 1865, when he died.

P rof. Warren S tone, who served 38 yea r3, J anuary, 1835, to April 22, 1872, when J;te resigned. He died October 10, 1873, the most famous surgeon N ew Or­leans has had .

In 1845, a Constitu tional Convention, intl uenced chietly by members of the Medical Faculty , ordained the University of Louisiana, and a dopted as its med ­ical department, the Medical College of Louisiana. 'l'he Legisla tnre did not execute t he Convention's decree to organize the Uni versity until F ebruary 16th , 1847, by Act No. 49, which was re -enacted March 15th, 1855, fJy Act No. 320. The University of Louisiana was converted into the Tulane U niversity of Louisiana , July 5th, 1884, by Act No. 43, wh ich repealed various sections of Act 320 of 1855. The legal rights of the Medical Depar tment are es tablished specially by the two above Acts of 1855 and 1884, • and every one of Louisiana 's six Constit ul ions from 1845 to 1898, provides fo r the .Medical Department. T he U niversi1 y of Louisiana began its career in 1847 with the Medical College of Louisiana as its sole es tablished Department , and this was fo llowed in the sa me yea r by the organization of a Law Department.

The Tulane Medical Department is, of Medical Colleges existing in the United States in 1901, the oldest in the Southwest, the fou rth in age founded south of the Potomac and Ohio rivers and the fifteenth in the United S tates. 1!1 the number of students it ranks among the fi rst twe lve of the 122 regular med­ical colleges enumerated in the las t Annual Report (1898-9) of the United States Commissioner of E d ncation. 'l'bese colleges had in said year 21,401 s tndents and 4314 g raduates ; the number of students in these numerous colleges varied from 14 to 938 ; fi rty of t hese colleges had fewer than 100, 87 fewer than 200, and 107 of them fewer than 300 slndents.

Donations and Buildings.

Our college bas been the recipient of donations, without w hich it could not have gained its present usefulness and prosperity. T his aid has co me from the following five different sources : In 18-!3 Louisiana permitted the 1\fedical Faculty to erect the first building it ever owned, on a lot belong ing; to the State, on two conditions ; firs t, that the members of th e faculty should give · thei1· services to the Charity Hospital without pay, the Sta te h aving previously paid $2!00 per annum for such service, and , second, that one beneficiary student from every parish should be ad mitted annually for the nex t ten years, and this was extended in 185<1 to ten years more. 'rhe fir~t condition has always been fulfilled , and the second condition was certainly fulfilled for the twenty years, and, as is believed, for thirty years. The n umber of students increased from 38 in 1843, to 100 in 1846.

2

'l'he building of 1843 was occupied untlll847, when U was surrendered to the t:niversity for the Ls.w Department and the Medical Department was given a much larger building on a contiguous lot, whereon were erected, ln 1898, the Crescent and Tulane Theatres. Tbts building cost the State $-kO,OOO, and, in addi­tion, the State gave to the ~icdlcal Department, from 1850 to 1858, $4a,500 for museum, apparatus and repairs. Or the S80,500, thus contr·ibnled by tbe State, war and Lime have leit nothing except lbc lot, now the property of Tulane Uni­vcrllity, and lhc museum, still the property or the .Medi.cal Oepa.rtment. How­ever, the immediate result of llHl .Stale's libemlity wns the gradmLl increa~e of our students fronrlOO in 1846, Lo 276 in l85S; and thi~ increase would lJave been much gr·eater buL £or lhe fact tlJat during tbese eleven years tbere occurred five of the worsl epidemics ot: yellow fever tlJat ever desolaled New Orle:ms.

ln 1884 lhe University of Loui8hml~ IHlcame t.be 'l'ulaM University of Louisi­ana. tiince then the administrators have nontribu.tecl in ma.ny ways to lhe wel­fare of the Medical Department, and if they hnvefalled to do br mor·e that might well ba done, this bas been due to Llle imperative need of all of tneir inade­quate income to establish an efUcient Collegiate Departn~ent.

Since 188{) t.he }!edical Faculty, besides paying all of tlJe constantly increas­ing- expenses, l1as appropriated to impt·ovements $17,500, derived Irom fees tbat, in less fortunate years, were used to remunerate inndequll.tely the members of the Faculty.

Pl'O­

fessor .Miles gnve to the college eighteen years of otl1cial service, ten years as a Demonstrator of Anatomy (:\tay l6, 1875, to April 14, 1885), seven years as Profes.~m· of Materia l\1edicn and 'l'berapcntics (.TLtnc 16, 1886, to Aprll Jl, 1893), and one year as P1·ofessor of Surgery. These services ended wilb big death, Augnst 5, 189!, when forty-two years of age.

Tho lifll1 and only other tioancia.l aid given to our college was by far the most jlJlporLant ever contril.lllted. Without it the educational progress that has been and will yet be made would have l>een impossible. May 0, 181!1, the wife of Dr. 'f. G . .RiclJardson, our valueu professor (April 11!, 1858,to FelJruaay 15, 1889), * our honored dean (October Li, 1865, to June 1, 1885), ilonaled a suu1 sufficient to erecL a new building. greatly ~;uperiol' in all respects to LlJe old one, and espet:ially in providing all o£ Lhe laboratol'ics LbaL Lwvc become indispen­sable to medical edncaLion and lbnL lhc old building could noL supply. A sul:l1-cient sum lo equip these admirable laboratories was also given. '!'he adminis­trators took possession of the lot assigned by the State in 1847 to the M~dical Department, nod, in its place, provided, nt au expense of $35,000, a. much ampler and better site for the new building. 'fhis was completed and occupied in September, 1893, and will continue, for very many ye11rs to come, to be excep­tionally well adapted to its purpose. Tbe services of Edmond Sonchon, M. D., Professor of Anatomy, lu supervising. on behalf of lbe facntt.y, tbe erection of tbis building, were exceedingly vnlu:tble.

Charity Hospital.

W hile the professors, g raduates and s tudents of the Medical Depar tment have most notably contribu ted to the g reat usefulneAs and repute of the Charity Hospital , yet the su periority , popularity and welfare of the college is so depend­ent on the use of thi s hospital that every improvement of it increases the educa­tional a1vantages of the colleg e. 'f hese improvemen ts have been in recen t years so n umerous that refere nce will be made to those only that have most obviously contributed to its educational value .

F ebruary 2, 1885, the Ambulance Service was organized and the excellent Ambulance building was completed in 1886.

Two admirable buildinga for Out-Door Clinics were erected in 1892, so that now the number of the sick seeking relief at the hospital and educationally utilizable amounts annually to about 10,000 iadoor and 20,000 outdoor patients.

A~ early as 1844 a large amphitheatre· fur surgical operations and for lec­tures was erected i n the Cllarity Hospital, at an expense of $5000, half of which was contl'i buted by our faculty. But this building became unfitted for its pur­pose, chie fl y because of its ill adaption to the requirements of modern sanitary science, &nd especially of wh ·lt is commonly term ed " antiseptic s urgery," one of the g reatest of the numeruus boons bestowed on suffering humanity by medi­cal science . I n l 8!l5 a ne;v ampllitheatre, one of the best in the world, accom­modating more than 400 students, was erected on the site of the old am phithea­t re , at a cost or $!1,130, of which $3000 were contributed by our faculty . The benefi ts to the diseased and lnj ured, and also the educational ad vantages of this building , are incalculable.

In 1899 the Milliken Memorial H·)Spital, accommodating over 200 afflicted children, w:ts erec ted as an annex to the Charity Hos pital. For this unexcelled building the profounde.5t gratitude, not only of the people of this city and State, but also of the faculty of our Medical Department, is d ue to Mrs. D . A . Milliken.

No city , le3s pop ulous than New Orleans, can possibly supply such a vast amount of material (30 ,000 sick annually) for prosecuting the study of medicine. in all its b ranches, and it is diftit.ml t to fi nd such an amount, as convenient for educational purposes, eve n in cities of far larger population , fo r , in these, the sick are usually distribu ted in a number of smaller hospitals. Since 1847 th e 1 law of Louisian1 provides that" the Medical Department of the University shall , at all tim es, have free access to the Chari ty Hospital of New Orleans for the purpose of affording their students practical illustt·ations of the subjects they teach ." T hese s tudents have, there fore, free access without paying any hospi-tal fees, and this provision of the law has alw:tys been intet·preted in all other particulars so liberally by tile administrators that there is very surely no medi-cal college which posse3ses superior advantages for that pmctical instructi on in­dispensable to prepare students for successful professional life. For such in­struction it is imperative that there sh ould be convenient and numerous oppor-tunit ies, at the beclside of the sick , to study all tile diseases and accidents tlesh is heir to, and also abundant material for the study of normal and morbid anatomy. F or the study especially of the diseases of the Southwest, and also of the negro race, there is no field comparable to tha t fu rnished by the Charity Hospital , nor can there ever be until the Southwest is provided with a more populous city than New Or leans.

Educational Progress, Calendar of.

183!-1866. There was too little progress to deserve record. 1867. A Lecturer and Clinical Instructor of Diseases of the Eye and Ear

was first appointed. 1868. Since 183l no students had been examined except candidates for

graduation ; these only once and every one by every professor, in rotation, in the "green room," and all the examinations of any one candidate were completed in about one hour and a half. Greater time and care was firs t given in 1868, since when examinations have gradually become much more numerous and exacting.

1868-9. Students and especially candidates for graduation were for the first time divided into sections or clinical classes fo r 8pecial instruction at the bedside in the wards of the Charity Hospital, and chiefs of clinics were firot appointed to aid the professors in giving clinical instruction.

1879. 'l'he annual session was lengthened from the four months that had pre­vailed since 1834 to four and a half months.

1881- 2. Hygiene was first taught. And examinations were for the fir3t time given on the primary branches to students who had completed the second year and who volunteered to take said examinations.

18S6. A Lecturer and Clinical Instructor of Diseases of the Skin was firs t appointed. ,

1887. A IJharmaceutical laboratory for pharmacy students was established and a demonstrator for said laboratory was appointed.

1888. Female students were first admitted to the pharmaceutical laboratory but not to the full course in pharmacy until 1894.

1889. A laboratory of histology and bacter iology wai established, but a course therein was not obligatory until 1893. A demonstrator for this laboratory was first appointed.

1890. One Lecturer and Clinical Instructor of Physical Diagnosis and an­other on Diseases of Children were first appointed.

1691. One Lecturer and Clinical Instructor on :Minor Surgery and a second on Physical Diagnosis were appointed.

1893. Tbe new building was completed and occupied with its excellent and well-eqnipped laboratories of pharmacy , chemistry , practical anatomy , micro­scopy and operative surgery.

An educational qualification for admi5sion was for the first time required of all students entering a medical college for the first time afte r September, 1893. The minimum qualification was a second grade teacher's certificate of a <;uper­intendent of education.

Attendance on three instead of two annual sessions was made obligatory on such students. (:s-. B.-The American !Iedical College Association had required tl;lrce annual sessions in 1891. )

'fhe annual session, which had been gradually lengthened since 1878, from four to five and a half montbs was increased to six months.

Medical jurisprudence was firs t taught. One course in the Laboratories of Chemistry , Microscopy and Operative

Surgery was made obligatory in addition to the two previons conrses of dissec ­tion and of clinical medicine in the hospita I wards.

6

A Demonstrator and an Assistant Demonstrator of the Chemical L:tboratory, an Assistant Demonstrator of Histology, etc., and a Demonstrator of Operative Surgery were appointed .

189! . Female students were for the first time admitted to the full course in P harmacy; and Mrs. Eliza Rudolf, the first woman admitted in 1888, was the first to receive, in 1895, a degree from the Medical Department. There have been (1888-1901) of female pharmacy students 18, on 11 of whom the degree in pharmacy has been conferred. A Sl"cond and a third Assistant Demonstrator of Anatomy were appointed.

1896. An Assistant Demonstrator of the Chemical Laboratory, and an Assistant Demonstrator of Operative Surgery were appointed.

The Library was reorganized and replenished and has been annually im ­proved ; so that it has become a very val uable library of reference, especially for s tudents and teachers. It now contains 3210 bound \7 0lnmes and 890 pam ­phlets of superior value, carefully accessioned and card -catalogued; in addi­tion to 1738 bound books and many pamphlets of less value (duplicates, etc .), in an annex to the library.

'l'he laboratory of the Professor of Chemistry was very greatly improved by the addition of many valuable modern physical and chemical instruments and apparatus.

1897. A simple diploma in English was substituted for the antiquated and fulsome diploma in Latin of 1834 to 1897.

1898. A Demonstrator of Obstetrics and a second Aesistant Demonstrator of Histology and Bacteriology were appointed.

1899. Attendance on four annual sessions became obligatory on all students entering a medical college for the first time afLer January 1st, 1899. (N. B.­'l'he American Medical College Association r equired attendanee on four annua l sessions in 1895.)

The minimum educational quali fication for admission was increased fro m a second to a first g rade teacher's certificate of a superintendent of education.

An additional course in both the chemical and the microscopical labora­tories was required of all students attending the four -year course.

An instmctor was appointed to assist. the Professor of Physiolog,v, Hygiene and Pathological Anatomy.

1900. An instructor was appointed to assist the Professor of Materia Medic<t and Thcrapeuties.

1901. An additional instructor of Minor Surgery was appointed by the Professor of i::l urgery.

1885-1901. D uring- these sixteen years there have been the follo wing in­creases: The number of s pecial studies in or branches of medicine taught have been increased from eleven to sixteen ; the laboratories from two to fi ve, and the obligatory courses therein from four to nine; the number of teachers from nineteen to for ty-one ; the number of persons on the faculty's pay-roll from five to twenty-seven; the annual expenses have been quadrupled ; aud the number of candidates for g raduation who fail to pass are five times more than p rior to 1865, and more than twice as many as from 1880 to 1886.

Students and Graduates.

A table a t the end of this pamphlet records the number of students and graduates of every yea-r, 1834-1901. The number has been notably influenced chiefly by the follo wing favorable causes: The ability, fidelity and popularity of many of the professors; the improvement of educational advantages in college and hospital ; donations by the State and by Mrs. Ida A. Richardson ; the general increase of the population, education and wealth of the Southwest ; and the number ha~ been unfavorably influenced by the increased educational require­ments and ex pense imposed on students ; by finan cial panics, •• hard times, " "short crops" of and in1dequate prices for especially cotton and sugar ; by yellow fever epidemics and quarantines, and by the political condition8 due to civil war, 1861-65. Some of these influences, not elsewhere considered, deserve notice.

Of the professors who have died and have not been previously referred to, the following fo ur deserve mention, because of their exceptional reputations and the length and value of their services, viz.:

P rof. S. M. Bemiss, wh o served eighteen years, June 15, 1866, toN ovember li , 1884, when he died.

P rof. F rank Hawthorn, who served nine years, May 20, 1867, to F ebruny 24, 1876, when he died.

Prof. J os. J ones, who served twenty-eight years, July 30, 1868, to F ebruary 17, 1896, when he died.

Prof. Sam!. Logan, who served seventeen of the twenty-one years, May 18, 1872, to January 12, 1893, when he died.

The influence of increased educational requirements and increase of fees on the number of students is illustrated by the fo llowing facts :

In 1893 our students numbered 420, then the three instead of the two-year course was requi red ; thereafter the number decrea~;ed to as few, i n 1895, as-3-!0 and it was not until the seventh year that our annual losses were fully regained by the attendance of 426 s tuden ts in 190) . The six intervening years (1893-99) were unfavorable, in that " hard times " prevailed ; there was war one year, and, worse still , there were for three years quarantines against yellow fever. If the coming years have no such evils in store, the maximum number of the students who ever attended, now on the decline, in consequence of the requirement of the four instead of the three-year course, and wi th01tt reasonable hope of increase until 1902-3, will p robably be regained in less then seven years.

Although no medicai student has ever died of yellow fever during a col­legiate session, none the less this disease has most .unfavorably influenced the n umber of students attending. The g reat epidemic of 1867 was fo llowed by a decrease of 28 per cent. , due chiefly, if not wholly, to this cause.

The civil war and its con seq uenccs most notably infi uenced the attendance of students. :From 1834 to 1859 the nu mber increased from ll to 276 by normal growth. There then occurred during t he next three years an abnormal increase to 404 students in 1861; d ue to the political and seelional hostility that induced Southern students to abandon .Northern colleges. War came and om patriolic students became soldiers in such numbers that the 404 students of 1881 were re­duced to only 94 in 1862. Our doors were then closed untill865, for , during the

7

three intervening years, all of our students and all of their teachers, not too old for service, were Confederate soldiers.

From 1865 to 1 85 the number of our students ranged from 230 to as few as 105 in 1875, about which time culminated the tyrannical and m onstrous evils of the " reconstruction government," based on the nPg ro, the i mmigrant carpet­bagger and the domestic scalawag and u pheld by the victors for the spoliation and humiliat ion of the vanquished Sout h. 'l'his execrable government was overthrown by the peop le of Louisiana in 1876, when prosperity began to retum to the S tate a n1 to the Medical D epartment. F rom 1875 to 1900 ou r s tudents gradually increased from 105 to 426, but i t required twenty-eight years to recover from the abnormal conditions resulting from war and politics, for it was not until 1886 that our college had fairly reg ained the nur.;ber of students that had attended in 1858.

Although the medical depar tment has ex isted 67 years, it has held only 64 annual sessions, its doors h av ;ng been closed by war, 1863-5. During these 6! ses­sions, the number of students have varied from 11 in 1835 to 426 in 1900 ; the total number a rinnally registered were 13,574, an average of 212 s tudents per session.* Many of t hese, who would have gone elsewhere to s tudy, have been re tained in this city ; many have been a ttracted f rom other parts of L ouisiana, and so ma ny from other Stales that our students usually come now from never Jess than fifteen s ·tates. The p rofits annually derived from these s tudents by this city and S ta te have probably g reatly exceeded all the money ever donated to or invested in the college, which has unquestionably been , merely from its financial aspect, a profitable investment for the people of~ cw Orleans and of Louisiana.

The grad uates no w number 3841, viz.: ::!515 in medicine, and 3;!o in phar ­macy. However, 70 g raduates llave secured degrees both in med icine and pharmacy, hence the number of individua ls g raduated has been 3771 . The addresses of 2331 of these are known, 618 are reported or known to be dead, and consequently a star (*) is appended to their names, and there remain 822 of whom nothing is known ; many of these a rc p rvbably dead. Information as to them is earnestly solicited .

Of the present 351 physicians whose names are publish ed in the City Direc­tory of N ew Orleans, 302 are graduateS' of the Medical Depa rtmen t, as also are a very large proportion of the physichns of Louis iana, Mississippi and T exas. '.rhese graduates are now to be found from Canada to l\'lexico and the Philippines, and from Alaska to Flor ida and Cuba . 'l'b.ey have tilled and are now filling medical offices in the Army, Navy and Marine Hospital Service of the United S tates, and the medica l offices of many States, c ities and counties, such as members and offiucrs of boards of healt h, members of medical examining boards, surgeons of hospitals, superintendents of asylums, coroners, e tc. Many have been profes­sors and teachers in medical colleges, and many more have belln legislators, mayor.;;, sheriff; , justices of the peace, etc. T be record of a roll of such honors would be a very long one, for, in all places and otlices, our a lumni have g aine d enviable reputations and have thus m ain tained and increased the fame of their alma mater.

in the war between the States- 1861 -65. There were one thousand and eighty­four g raduates to March, 1862, and, therefore, to 1866, since the war closed the doors of the Medical Department during the three sessions succeeding 1861-62. In 1871 information was obtained from only two hundred and seventy graduates, and as to only four hundred and twenty-seven of the thousand and eighty-four graduates. This meag re information showed that two hundred and forty were in the military service of the Confederate States, and one hundred and seventy of these as medical otricers. 'fhe fate of thirty-eight of these deserves permanen~ record as a par t of the roll of honor of our alumni.

'fhirteen were killed in battle, viz. : D rs. n. Y. E gan, L . M. Graves, Jas. Harper , C. W. H umphreys, D. H . McE acham, A. H. Moore, W. C. Murphy, J . B. W. Penrose, A. S. P ickering, Jno. Sims, Jno. Taylor, F . M. Traylor and J. W. Wright. Three died of wounds received in battle, viz. : Drs. W. W. Brown, J . J . Little and J . M. McCary. Sixteen " died in ~ervice"; some of wounds, some in prison, etc., viz. : Drs. Wade Allen, L . M . Austin , W. L . Bridges, J . H . DeVotie, C. M. Dougherty, R . A. Felton, M . W. Goldsby, W. V . Harris, D. F . Mcinnis, V . V. Madden , N . B . Moss, J . J. Oatis, Sam!. Parker, Har ry Percy, J . E . Sut­ton, Francis Whicher and G. L. Witherington. Five were permanently disa­bled by wounds received in battle, viz. : Drs. W. J. F inch , J . D . Harrell, Paul Lawrence, Hy . Snow and A. P . Sparkman .

That 1 he above list presents only a fraction of the honorable but distressing truth is sufficiently proved by the fact that it was derived from information as to only four hundred and twenty-seven of one thousand and eighty-four graduates.

T he recen t war with Spain, which began April 21st, 1898, and ended August 12th, 1898, made comparatively little demand on the patriotic ardor and mart.ial capacity of our country and yet sufficed to justify the belief that no other medi­cal college can surpa~s if equal our own in the numb~:>r of graduates who entered military service, and there gained distinction for themselves and for their alma mater.

Information has been secured of fifty-five of our graduates ( more than fifty of these having been medical officers) and of sixteen of our undergraduates who served during the war. There were probably many more, of whom information is solicited. F rom many sources most gratifying evidence has come of the val­uable an<l. highly 11ppreciated services rendered by these sons of our college, and many of them gained the enviable dist inction of special commendation ·from the highest official sources.

The following facts are requisite to the appreciat ion of the comparative p rominence of our graduates in the war : T here were about 125,000 doctors and 122 regular medical colleges in the United States ; the Surgeon General , U . S. A., appointed from all the States about 650 so-ealled " contract surgeons," th irty of whom were our g raduates ; there were only twenty" contract surgeons" at the battles around Santiago, and seven of these were our graduates. It should be added that medical officers most familiar with tropical diseases and immune to y ellow fever were in special demand.

The names of the fiftv- five doctors, our g raduates, who volunteered and served are as f ollows :

Doctors : J . N . McLean, C. 'f. P ollard, of Alabama ; R . M . Enders, of Ar­kansas ; R . '1'. Burr, of California ; U . S. Bird, C. B. ~IcKinnon and F. R. Maura, of Florida ; J . G .. Jarrell , of Georgia ; J . F. Archer, H. L. Bauer, E. R. Bragg,

The underg raduat('S in medicine thns far known to have been in service were the following : A. B. Brown, L. C. Chamberlain , J . M. Fornaris, A. B. Granger,' B . MoM .. Hall , J. Heidingsfelder , B. J . Herrington, J . E. Lay, Jr. , R . F . Smither , A. R . S bolars, H . W. Thompson , P . L. Thibaut, H . J . Warner, . MoD. Watkins, II. D . Webb and P . Wilson, M . Ph. Most of these 16 under ­graduates served aa h ospital stewards, 11 of them have since been graduated and their names are to be fonnd in the list of Alumni. The sole fatality reported, of both st udents and graduates, was th e lamentable death by diEease of Buford J . H errington, of Mississippi, a student of decided merit and a man of great worth .

The present Alumni-Catalog ue of 1901 is the fourth one published. The first one was issued in the May Number, 1861 , of the New Orleans Medical and Surgical j ournal ; the second , an exceptionally elaborate one was published in 1871 , in pamphlets long since out of print ; the third was publish ed in 1888 in pamphlets and in the Annual Catalogue of the Tulane Univeroify. The first th ree were compiled solely by the undersigned, and this the last one by him and the Dean's Secretary, ~Ir. 0 . C. Belfield. Much time and great labor have been given to secnre accuracy, but perfection cannot be attained in any compilation requiring the recording of so many rames and dates, and the authorwill be grateful to any one who may indicate any errors and thus contribute to im­proving a future edition .
