The New Steinway
Miniature Grand
Piano
(Trade Marked)
is proving a constant and
increasing source of won-derment
and delight to all
musicians and music - lovers.
Scientific experiments and acous-tical
researches have determined the
exact size, namely, five feet ten in-ches,
necessary to reproduce the remark-able
attributes and qualities of our larger
Grand Pianos. An}- Grand under this size
crosses the danger line, as it cannot vield a
tonal result superior to that of the discarded
Square or the present Upright Piano. The fuii,
rich and sweet tone of the Steinway Miniature Grand
and its dainty appearance are already' giving the utmost
satisfaction to thousands of purchasers, and we recommend
a thorough examination and trial of this unique instrument

Dr. Edwin Boone Craighead
P/Mlo by Hitchkr-Bealtic
Edwin Boone Craighead
HE life of Edwin Boone Craighead began forty years ago beneath the
clear sky and amidst the dense woods of Missouri. His mind and
character broadened and deepened under the fostering influence of
rugged natural surroundings and impressive natural scenery. This
excellent educational training performed by Nature was supplemented
by an efficient scholastic course which culminated, in so far as his
native state is concerned, in an A. M. degree from Central College.
Dr. Craighead was one of those elect few in whom the inspiration
of knowledge for its own sake is strong, and he pursued his studies further at Vander-bilt.
Yet, not satisfied with the graduate work there completed, he visited the renowned
educational institutions of Europe, drinking in at their pure fountains the learning and lore
of centuries. Leipsic and Paris were the centers of his student life while on the conti-nent,
and when he sailed for his native land he had added a fine capstone to his education.
How varied were the lines of study which he had followed is shown by the different
positions which he occupied during his comparatively short but creditable career as an
educator. Emory and Henry College, in Virginia, first called him to the chair of Latin
which he left to fill the higher place of President of Pryor Institute in Tennessee. The
enviable reputation which he here gained caused him to be summoned to Wofford College,
South Carolina, to the professorship of Greek. Again he was called away to accept the
presidency of Clemson Agricultural and Mechanical College. Here again his abihties
shone out so brightly that he was called back to his Alma Mater, Central College, to
assume its presidency.. But even here his ascent to distinction did not stop. Three
years ago Dr. Craighead was elected President of the Missouri State Normal College,
where he acquitted himself with such marked ability that he was called upon to fill the high
and responsible office of President of the greatest and most promising university in the
South—the Tulane University of Louisiana.
He quickly adapted himself to new conditions and speedily adjusted himself to new
circumstances. The disorder which was inevitable upon the vacation of the presidential
chair he quickly turned to system; the new problems which presented themselves he
solved; the greater duties which were his to perform he undertook ably and manfully;
the strangers whom he met he speedily and invariably won.
Tulane's destiny is said to be a high and noble one; her course is a far and briUiant
one; with a hand so firm, so steady, so competent at her helm, she will surely weather
all gales, ride safely through disadvantageous conditions, and enter unharmed into the
coveted haven of achievement. S. W.

Class Song
Four long j'cars ha\'e we spent at Tulane in our life;
Four long years have we worked as a class;
In that time have we met man\' hardships and strife,
But our trials will end here at last.
It is here at Tulane that great ties have been formed.
Holding Seniors together most dear;
Recollections of pleasure, of joy, will be warmed
In our hearts as we live year to year.
From the Class of '05 many lights, let us pray,
May some day brightly shine in our land
;
In mechanics and arts, and in Law every day.
Let '05's at the top always stand.
Alma Mater, Tulane ! Thou hast proven most dear,
Thou hast done for us all in thy power,
Now it rests on our shoulders to help every year
Thy fair name in glory to tower. Edw. O. Tabor, '05.

History of the Class of 1905
UT of the strenuous chaos of a dawning century, in the year nineteen
hundred and one, rose a dazzHng star, the guiding light of a class
destined to be great in the stupendous enterprises of a productive age.
Rising, ever rising, the beacon of 1905's success majestically ascended
the arch of the heavens, passing the intermediary constellations in a
blaze of glory unparalleled in stellar magnificence, till, now, in the
fourth year of its journey, all points on the intellectual horizon are touched with the
incipient tints of mental supremacy. One-half of the first quadrant has thus been
traversed and our star is still climbing the heavenly dome above us to a position in
the center of the firmament, where it will linger to the end of eternity, shedding efful-gent
light upon the greatness of a class long before called to the land of its fathers.
From the time the Class of 1905 entered upon its successful career to the present day,
the number of members has suffered a sad diminution. However, those remaining are
bound together by the close ties of friendship and co-operation. In bidding our Alma
Mater farewell, we do so only in a figurative sense, for our future efforts, both material
and spiritual, will be gladly directed toward the uplifting and maintenance of her fair
name in the eyes of all posterity. The Seniors of nineteen hundred and five have spoken.

Junior Class History
HAT the most memorable date in the history of Tulane University
hitherto was Oct. i, 1902, made so by the entrance into its portals
of that astonishing aggregation of virtue, talent, courage, strength,
beauty and genius, well known as the Class of 1906, has been made
clear by previous historians. The second and last event without par-allel
in the history of the institution will be the graduation day of
this Class of 1906. This will be told by the future historian. It
remains for the present historian to chronicle a very few achieve-ments
of the year now passing. But where great and noble deeds are the mere com-mon
place, where shall we seek for the exceptional that alone constitutes the interesting?
We must find it, by all logic, in the httle acts, the few performances of the type usual in
other classes, indulged in by this class merely by way of change and recreation. But
such incidents would have htde interest and must be omitted. And so from mere
monotony of the extraordinary, the history must be brief. That the personnel of this class
is endowed with genius, beauty, strength and courage, is no sense of vanity, for we can-not
help it. That our history is filled to overflowing with deeds of unexampled bril-liancy
and success does not make us proud,—it is all so easy, and, incidentally, the
other classes are so easy.
Having, by the dignity of our bearing, by the sagacity and wisdom of our appear-ance,
proclaimed abroad the fact that we were Juniors, we proceeded, among other
numerous accomplishments, to arrange the subject of Calculus according to our own
ideas. There were instances in which even our learned professor was compelled to
meditate for weeks at a time before he was able to completely master our new methods
of integration. Indeed, so eagerly did we grasp the great difficulties and problems of
this beautiful study that the succeeding classes hereafter will be able to complete the sub-ject
in a very short time, so thoroughly have the obstacles been removed by our genius.
Since we do not wish to manifest a spirit of boastfulness and do not wish to incur
an ill-feeling in our fellow-classes by mentioning a subject which is necessarily disagree-able
to them, very little will be said concerning athletics. It was, however, never our
wish that our great reputation should so alarm the other classes that they would not
even venture to meet us in the usual contests of inter-class athletics. Such, nevertheless,
was the case, and many of our famous victories must go down to history as never having
been won, for the reason that the battles were never fought, no opponents daring to
appear in the field when our banner was unfurled.
The bond which has held this class together is exceptionally strong. Excellent and
numerous as we were in the beginning, the quality has steadily improved, while the
quantity has scarcely diminished. All have drunk deep of the Pierian spring; and all
have felt the glow of the feu sacr/.
If this is not sufficiently clear,
" In summer when the da_vs are long,
Perhaps you'll understand the song."

History of the Class of 1907
'N writirg a history of the glorious Class of 1907, it is hardly neces-sary
to rehearse in detail the deeds of her Freshman year, so well
have they been recorded by her historian of that period. In chron-icling
the achievements of her Sophomore year, however, it might be
well to give an outline of the past record upon which her present
greatness is founded.
The first day of her Freshman career, 1907 met 1906 in a cane-rush, and would have
won easily but for consideration of tradition and the tribulations already in store for the
Sophs. The third day, in order to keep the Sophs from being misled as to their true
position, she soundly spanked them for being over presumptuous. One morning in
November the sun shone on the wind-mill with its alternate blades resplendent in gold
and black. This deed, hitherto unaccomphshed in the annals of Tulane, was done by
1907. When Tulane night came round, 1907 was the moving spirit of the occasion.
On Founders Day it was 1907 that saved the public of New Orleans from getting the
false impression that 1906 was running things at the university. After this the Sophs,
realizing the power of the Freshmen, retired from the Sophomore business. Thereafter
the college enjoyed the unannoyed influence of the most glorious Freshman class that
had yet entered its portals.
So much for her past; now let us take into consideration her present greatness.
There are three things of which 1907 is especially proud. They are: First, the con-scientiousness
with which she has taken care of the Freshmen; second, her vivacity,
and third, the seriousness with which she has devoted herself to study.
From the very beginning of the present session, 1907 has conscientiously cared for
the Freshmen. She has left no stone unturned in giving them a thorough training for
future great work, and never for an instant has her thoughtfulness in regard to them
relaxed. At the opening of college, realizing the necessity of instilling in boys habits of
neatness, she set them on a firm footing with Jupiter Pluvius; and fearing that they should,
in the introduction, catch cold, she kept their blood in healthy circulation by massage.
Realizing, too, that there are certain fundamental principles by which all children
should be disciphned, she has had printed for the benefit of the Freshmen a list of appro-priate
rules by which they are to govern themselves. Further, realizing that it is unprofit-
38
able to lay down rules, and not see to their enforcement, 1907 has, on occasions, deemed
it necessary to assist the Freshmen in following the narrow path. One notable occasion
of this kind was that on which sage 1907 deemed it necessary, as an object lesson to
remove derbies from the craniums of two presumptuous Freshmen. Such a head-gear
1907 thought inappropriate for boys as young as the Freshmen.
In the Class of 1907 there is a spirit of gigantic energy of Ufe. It is to this spirit
that is due her unqualified triumphs over two most worthy adversaries, igo6 and 1908.
It was this gigantic energy which enabled her to remove from the very highest gables
of the university seven 1906 standards, and to replace the blue on the wind-mill blades
with black within two hours after their appearance. This energy has enabled her to
completely control the Freshmen in the face of double her numbers, and it is to it that
is due the interest with which she has entered into each Tulane Night. It was on
account of this same spirit that 1907 was able to furnish to the Glendy Burke Literary
Society both of her representatives in her most important debate, and that 1907 was
able to put forth a football team which should so astonish the Freshmen by the score of
eleven to nothing in favor of 1907. It might be well to say that, in her victories over
her two rivals in the Sophomore-Freshman struggles, 1907 has not been wholly selfish.
She has often had the deepest feelings of pity for them in their misfortunes. She has
often felt that in a less brilliant sphere they might have shone forth, and she has, on
various occasions, where no real harm could be done, allowed them to be victorious.
Thus have I striven to give from an important standpoint a vague idea of the man-ner
in which the Class of 1907 has surmounted the difficulties of her under-classhood.
Let us hope that she will solve as successfully the more important problems of her upper-classhood,
and that she will accomplish greater achievements.

Freshman Class History
I F THE privileges which appertain to the office of Class Historian
I value none more highly than the one which now permits me to
place upon record my humble but sincere estimate of the worth,
as I have learned to know and to appreciate it, of the distin-guished
Class of 1908.
No class in college has, during its incumbency of maintaining
the dignity of Freshmen, been more sorely beset by soul-vexing
trials and difficulties, but let us thank God that it had strength
above them all, and with patient and undeviating resolution it pursued the even tenor
of its wa}', triumphantly conquering each trial, surmounting each difficulty, and fear-lessly
and fully discharging each duty as it saw and understood it.
And as we look around us today, we are confronted on all sides by manifold and
cheering evidences of the glorious fact that it understood its duty well, and that per-formance
has been on a par with understanding.
As long as the students of Tulane remain true to their college and true to themselves,
they must and they will generously and gratefully acknowledge the lasting debt which
the student body of this college owes to the unselfish college spirit, to the untiring
patience, the unswerving loyalty, the splendid and unconquerable courage of the Fresh-men,
the glorious Class of 1908.
As they have been, so will they continue to be, the steadfast friends and the cour-ageous
companions of the students, who justly feel that they honor themselves when they
speak of this class.
Their past records, illuminated by achievements of a notable order, give assurance
that they will make good the judgement that thought them worthy of the honor of being
called the "Greatest Class of Tulane," for they are made of the stuff which, when occa-sion
demands and duty calls, dares do all that may become a man—and do it well.

The Medical Department and Its
Professors
lURING the )'ear 1834 this institution was founded as the "Medical
College of Louisiana," and in 1847 became the "Medical Depart-ment
of the University of Louisiana." In 1884, the name "The
Medical Department of the Tulane University of Louisiana " was
adopted. It is the oldest medical college in the southwest, and has
the greatest number of alumni. May, 1904, it had conferred diplo-mas
on four thousand and eighty-one, namely: On three thousand
seven hundred and thirty-seven graduates in medicine, and three
hundred and forty-four graduates in pharmacy.
There are eight professors (including Dr. L. F. Reynaud, Professor Emeritus, Mate-ria
Medica), four associate professors, twenty-eight lecturers, instructors and demonstra-tors,
and seventeen chiefs of chnic and assistant clinical instructors at the Charity Hos-pital,
making a total of Jifty-six.
For the session of 1904-5, there are four hundred and ninety-three (493) matriculates.
Of this number twenty-three (23) are post graduates, one hundred and twenty-two (122)
are eligible for graduation in medicine.
Pharmacy students number twenty-seven (27).
April 25th, 1904, the Louisiana Supreme Court decided in favor of the validity of
Mr. Alexander C. Hutchinson's will of Nov. 20th, 1902, whereby the Medical Department
is to receive the benefit of about $800,000. This addition to the quarter of a milHon dol-lars,
already invested in the Medical Department, will give to it a greater sum for addi-tional
improvements than is possessed by any Southern and by most Northern colleges,
so that future students will derive from Mr. Hutchinson's philanthropic bequest a very
great increase in the educational advantages of this college, and its diplomas, past as
well as future, will give additional repute.
The Charity Hospital, two squares distant from the college, contains over tiine hun-dred
beds, and for the year 1903, the sum total of all cases treated therein was 32,634.
In the year 1899 there was added to the Charity Hospital the Milliken Memorial, a
superb, modern and model building for the accommodation of two hundred sick children.
The administrators of the Charity Hospital elect annually, by competitive e.xam-ination
in March or April, eighteen resident students from the fourth-year class, who
have passed all third-year requirements. These students are entitled to board and
lodging in the institution free of charge. The administrators also elect seventeen
externes, who serve as assistants in the outdoor clinics.
AU four medical classes are required to spend a large share of the time daily at the
bedside of patients, where they are instructed and quizzed by a professor or assistant.
57
Besides this, they have free access to the different wards at all times during the vear,
which affords a most excellent opportunit\' for research.
The Charity Hospital is the largest hospital in the United States where students are
given bedside instructions, and for the study of diseases of the South and Southwest, is
without doubt the greatest place in the world.
To the fame of her professors throughout the country—yes, throughout the world,
and to the practical experience given in the Charity Hospital, Tulane owes the value of
her medical "sheepskins."
Dr. Stanford E. Chaille, our dean, has been connected with the Medical Depart-ment
many years. He has given the best of his life in faithful service and loyalty to the
position of trust which he holds. Each succeeding year has brought added responsibilities
to him, and as these responsibilities have piled up, his head has grown whiter and whiter,
until now there isn't a strand of black to silhouette against the whiteness. And while
he has passed the allotted three score and ten by several years, he is an old man in
years only. His step is firmer and his eye brighter than many a man of forty. He is
hale and hearty, and every day he may be seen tramping off six miles "hke he is paid for
it." The weather must be inclement, indeed, to keep him indoors and prevent him tak-ing
his "six-mile jaunt." He climbs three flights of stairs just as regularly as his
students, and with as little effort. He is punctuality itself, and he will not tolerate laziness
or slothfulness in any form. Two of our greatest dreads are : Professor Chaille (in
examination), and Dr. Chaille (Dean).
A universal favorite, abrupt and to the point, yet gentle and considerate, an evo-lutionist
with facts and arguments to convince the most skeptical; an unexcelled success
as a spinner of smutty yarns; on the most profound subjects he holds his audience spell-bound—
charmed, with his reasoning and wit. And 3'et, with all his perceptiveness, he is
sublimely unconscious of the fact that the boys simply worship him. To us his hoary
locks are as a crown of thorns endured through years of constant upward toil ; the penalty
for being honest and faithful and bearing others' burdens.
To us he is a god—a man; not going to heaven—not afraid of hell. And when Dr.
Chaille vacates the dean's chair, there will be regret, strong and genuine among the
students and alumni, for while it is possible, it is not probable that his successor will be
the popular dean as well as the strenuous dean. The most we can hope for is to emu-late
Chaille. This is worthy of a noble effort.
Projessor Ernest S. Lewis.—A man with a big heart and a glad hand. Never too busy
to tell a good story, but "he must have fresh air." A popular man with the ladies—and
an expert. We of the South recognize him as authoritv, but he is the mortal dread of
Seniors. Any physician who is not thoroughly familiar with his "quilling" process is
handicapped, and should acquaint himself with the method at once.
Professor Jno. B. Elliott, Sr.—The man who dishes out "Theory and Practice" in
great gobs, and gives sodium sulphite by the dipperful. And woe is he who doesn't
know that the Stegom}'a carries yellow fever and that the Anopheles carries malaria.
58
His theory of immunity and the blood count are something fierce, but you've got to know
'em to get that coveted sheephide. He is appropriately classed with the great and the good.
Projessor Edmond Sotichon.—Every spring he gives jobs to the Seniors; about the
same time he gives h 1 to the Sophomores. Nobody knows anatomy better than
Souchon, and nobody demonstrates its "peckylarities" better than he does with his
lantern sMdes. A surgeon of great renown; an e.\cellent man. President of the Louisi-ana
State Board of Health. Possibly this accounts for his non-belief in the mosquito
being the sole method of conveying the germ of yellow fever.
Projessor Louis F. Reynaiid.—For eleven years he was connected with the college
—
resigned his chair in 1904. He was one of the best friends of the students; ready and
willing to help them at all times, his advice was much sought, and it has been said that
he didn't have an enemy in the world. His goodness of nature and his great ability as
a clinician, inspired all who knew him with admiration and respect. For several years
his health had been failing under the constant strain of lecturing, and we had expected
his resignation a year or two previous, nevertheless, when the announcement of his resigna-tion
did come, it was received with deep regret, for all who knew him loved him.
Projessor Rudolph Malas.—A man with the energy of ten ordinary men— busy
always- Well informed on all subjects; a voluminous reader, an e.xcellent conversation-alist,
and with principles utterly devoid of unfairness. He has a most profound respect
for "technique," and his operations are beautiful illustrations of modern surgery. He
gets more work out of the Juniors than everybody else together—and then he's not
satisfied. He would take the paltry few minutes left them if he could. His course in
surgery is not excelled by any in the country, and his fame is far reaching. His "Incise
freely" is characteristic; it is also the terror of his patients.
Projessor A. L. Metz.—The ugliest man in the faculty, with a proboscis that is the
pride of him and "his boys." It is also a phenomenal smeller, instantly detecting the
faintest odor of putrefaction in the student body. Annually he says we can't have punch
next Founders Day. A man who has seen the world in all its phases—a self-made man
who today is one of the world's authorities in medicolegal cases, and who is justly proud
of his course in medical jurisprudence. He is an expert chemist and a most excellent
teacher. He is Professor of Chemistry. During the four years he gets more work out
of us than any other member of the faculty. In a crisis the boys can depend on him to
pull them over.
Projessor Jno. T. Halsey.—This is our first experience with Jno. T., and we mustn't
say anything real bad about him—he might get angry. But his "Keneen" does grate
harshly on our Southern ears and his jrog lab tickles our palates. He came to us this year
and told us that we must study. We thought he was joking; but after noting that he
flunked about forty, we belieA'e that he meant it. He does not hold examinations without
notice. A thorough gentleman at all places and at all times. He spent years preparing
himself, and right here let me say, "There isn't a more competent clinician in New
Orleans than Dr. Jno. T. Halsey." But he does look funny floundering around in a sea
of malaria. Possibly he never saw a case before he came to Tulane.

History of Class of 1905
'T CAME to pass in the sixteenth year of the reign of Chaille, the Great, while
Metz.the modest, whose surname is Truthful, was still dispensing pneumatic
lectures concerning the love wherewith he loved "his boys," that there
assembled together a great number of young men at the ^Medical Department,
who, because there had been none like unto them before, neither should any come after
that should equal them, called themselves the Class of 1905.
These self-same _voung men were Freshmen the first year because they had never
before faced the man who smiles like a volcano when he murmurs, "Have you got the
money?" Neither had they heard that time-honored "Address of Welcome" which hath
inspired unto snores the latent abilities of three generations of credulous students.
After the "Address of Welcome" had been shown due respect, on account of its
age, and the applauding palms had lost their soreness, the class discovered that they were
democratic and must needs have a president to steer them up against as much trouble as
possible. Following the precedent established when Jonah swallowed the whale, they
cast lots and lots fell on a young man who had black hair and smoked a pipe. This black-headed
young man with the pipe soon showed that he had rare abihty as a diplomat and
could also do a few pneumatic stunts that showed that he was fast learning the ways of a
professor. Under his enterprising rule the class continued to be Freshmen and strove
most diligently to acquire enough big words to find out what the lecturers were talking
about. This strenuous search continued until the strenuosity of it began to cause neurotic
S3'mptoms to appear in the faces of some, while the outcome of the races showed more
plainly on other fair countenances, ^^'hen the balmy spring days began to appear, some
of the poetic members of the class discovered that "case" rhymed with "base" and "call"
rhymed with "ball," so a body of nine of the more poetic appointed themselves a committee
to study this sort of poetry and report to the class the results of their scientific research.
Their investigations were carried out under the difficulties of having classes to come at
the wrong time of day every day of the week and e.xaminations finally put an end to their
labors before the report had made any great headway. After the session's work was done
and "exams" were over the boys dispersed to their respective homes to pursue the chase
after learning which they had carried on so untiringly during the session, and all swore to
be back next time early enough to pay their respects to the "Address of Welcome."
6 65
The Sophomore year of the Class of 1905 was remarkable for the fact that nothing
remarkable transpired during that year. A president was chosen because he was needed
to carry the troubles of the class. This time lots fell on a young man whose hair was
black and curly, and who did not smoke a pipe. He soon showed that he was as wise as
a sphinx, for he "said nothing and sawed wood." Under his rule the class worked and
grew knowing, accumulating a stock of "peckylarities" that was a joy to relate. It was
during this year that the Faculty tried to see if they could work the class to death, but
found that they had underestimated the appetite of 1905 for good, hard, laborious labor.
The president, who was a very modest young man, and never insinuated himself into cir-cumstances
where he was not desired (which being interpreted so that the way-faring man,
though an academic student, may know, means that he did not "butt in"), set the pace
for the class by showing the amount of work he could do, and the class strung along in
his wake like a bunch of good little lambs. 1905 was fast acquiring the reputation of
being capable of doing more work than any class that had gone before them, and even
had time to play tennis and baseball while the professors were thinking of something new
to tell them.
The most uneventful year of the Hfe of 1905 was the Junior year. This time the
"Address of Welcome" was getting so old that it tottered when it was lead out to do its
little stunt, and if it had not been doing that little stunt for so long that it had become
automatic in its performance, it surely would have failed from senility. This time there
was only a hushed applause for fear of waking those who were asleep, and the noise of
hearty applause might have proven too much for the aged harangue to stand.
The president of the class was chosen because he had neither hair nor youth, and
because of the respect which the class had for the aged. During this year the amount of
work to be done was gradually gone through in that thorough manner that is characteristic
of 1905 in all its undertakings. The study of poetry was resumed by the baseball com-mittee
with more favorable opportunities than during the previous sessions. During the
latter part of this (Junior) year some of the young men of the class became so expert at
high vaulting that they were thought to be sufficiently proficient to jump onto an ambu-lance
and were admitted as internes to the Charity Hospital.
The Senior year was the one that was to amount to more than any other with the
class, for they were to be given a mutton hide with a seal on it, and the signatures of the
professors who had made the boys hustle for the past four years were to be pasted on one
corner of the cuticle. This )'ear the "Address of Welcome" was dragged out and dusted
off, a new ribbon was tied about its neck and it was put through that same old performance
that is so familiar to the students, in which it ilaps one paw up in the air and then wiggles
66
its nose and then turns sidewise and flaps the other paw at the crowd. (Xow that some
money has been willed to the Medical Department they will he able to blow themselves
for a new "Address of Welcome," and it is to be hoped that there will be a tablet erected
to the memory of the one that has served so faithfully and so long). The Faculty showed
their appreciation of the amount of work that 1905 had been doing by adding two more
lecturers to the list that had been lecturing to previous classes. Each of these new instruc-tors
brought with him an "ology" that he swore was the most important of any that had
ever been presented to a lot of suffering students. This year the class president was chosen
because there was nothing peculiar about his hair and also because he had a majority of
votes at the election. His manner of handling the Faculty has been the striking feature of
his term of rule and if they continue to do as he tells them, there will soon be turned out
from the Medical Department the best drilled and best qualified class of men that has
ever gone out from that honored institution, and the faculty will be proud to say that the
members of that class were among the students thev once instructed.

History of the Class of 1906
N taking upon himself the task of chronicling a few facts about the
Class of 1906, its historian would rejoice if it were possible for him
to give an individual sketch of every man whose name appears upon
its niU, krowirg how rich such a record would be in examples of
duty performed, obstacles overcome, and success achieved. But he
must forego this pleasure, and content himself with an attempt to
make a brief sketch of the class as a whole, reflect in some small measure some of the
most striking characteristics of its individual members.
In looking back over the career of the class since its organization in the fall of 1902,
we find that while there have been times for rejoicing and times for regret, yet the successes
have outnumbered the failures, the victories have overshadowed the defeats, and there
has been steady progress in the mastery of those principles and the acquirements of that
skill which will bring rich rewards in the years that are to come.
In all phases of college life the Class of 1906 has made itself felt as a factor of power
and influence. In class-room work, while our record is not always brilliant, yet the
memory of it will never bring the blush of reproach to our cheeks. It is true that at times
our quiz answers have wrought sad havoc with the peace of mind of our beloved dean, but
it was because in his presence the emotional strain of the moment put our reasoning power
to flight. We were at times noisy in the microscopical laboratory, but it was possibly due
to our unrestrained enthusiasm over the marvelous sights revealed to us in the micro-scopical
world. We sometimes sleep in the lecture room, but it may be because we have
been too zealous in our work the night before, and have burned our lights to the wee sma'
hours.
In a political way we number within our ranks some geniuses of the truest type, and
most ardently and faithful do they labor at certain seasons, with the happy result that our
offices are always ably and amply filled.
In the realm of athletics we have done little. We have no practice field of easy
access, and would be handicapped in any efforts we might make in that direction. But
the fact which is most largely responsible for our lack of achievement in athletics is that
so many of our men feel that they are now face to face with the more serious things of hfe,
and that their time for play has passed. They believe that the dissecting room is of more
importance to them than the baseball diamond, and that the hospital ward promises
richer returns than the gridiron.
75
Yet, we have not been without our heroes of brawn and muscle. And while my
reader may be surprised to find in the history of so civil and peace-loving an organization
as a medical class, a record of martial achievements and victories won on the ireld of battle,
yet we have had here our champions. And this history would be untrue and incomplete
without mention of those two memorable occasions when the bloody field of the tennis
court witnessed the standard of 1906 waving in triumph over the prostrate forms of its
conquered foes.
In its varied personnel, our class furnishes as many interesting types as could be found
in any similar organization. We have the Jew and the Gentile, the Frenchman and the
German, the Russian, the Spaniard, the man from the North, the East, the South and
the West. We have funny men and serious men ; handsome men and ugly men ; brilliant
men and stupid men; men who are always at their post, and men who are never there.
But the source of our greatest pride is the fact that within our ranks are numbered so
many men who realize with Edison that there is more genius in perspiration than in
inspiration,—men of unfailing energy and untiring industry, who are ardently, yet cheer-fully
putting their whole strength into their work, seeming to have caught the spirit of
Carlisle's words: "Blessed is the man who has found his work; let him ask no other
blessedness." And if the historian may for the moment assume the role of prophet, he
will say that for these men the future holds lives of noble achievement, and rewards rich
in material wealth, and in the love and admiration of the thousands whose suffering they
will have relieved, and whose li\'es they will have brightened.

History of the Class of 1907
N the year nineteen hundred and three there came a crowd to the
sacred portals of this grand institution, a gang of geniuses who
wooed ahke the race track and the lecture room. This body of
men was of a most representative type, for all corners of the
globe had followers.
Professor Metz recognized the value of such a distinguished
body at once, and invited them into the assembly room to listen
to his famous lecture on "Us Don't Have Any Trouble."
After this intellectual feast the boys shook hands, called each
other "Doctor," compared notes on desirable boarding houses
and went off in search of new homes. After being comfortably situ-ated
they settled down to work.
The class numbered about eighty and was composed of men who had ful-filled
all the requisites of a splendid education. Refinement, gentleness and
unusual brightness of intellect is the only possible diagnosis after a close
inspection of the Class of 1907. Its members are gifted with those precious
qualities that make some men so far superior to the rest, and their stately mien and
inteUigent expression puts the noble chanticleer to shame; these "characteristics" have
their "peculiarities" and ought to be considered "unique."
A meeting was held shortly after the opening of the session in which oratory flowed
like water. After the smoke of political battle had cleared away, it was found that a full
set of officers had been elected. The president immediately seized the reins of government
and appointed committees, one of which has to its credit the selection of the most beautiful
class pin in the university.
The members of the class were soon linked together by the sacred chain of friendship,
and the most perfect harmony has prevailed.
The professors and instructors showed them many favors, and to this stimulus is due
the success of the class, and as a reward of their efforts the class picture will be hung on
the "Temple of Fame," New York City.
Before the close of the session, the class was attacked by a most terrible germ, "Poli-ticocci."
The ravages of this disease were terrible, but not daunted, the Sophomore class
is again at the topmost round in the ladder of fame.
After a most pleasant summer they returned to college with a grand determination
to be an honor and credit to their institution. Their fame had spread abroad during the
holidays and 3'oung men from all over the South, having heard of this magnificent class,
have had their names enrolled upon its golden register. They, too, have evinced great
interest in their class, and every new member is a star of the fifty-first magnitude, and
with one hundred and twelve stars the Class of 1907 is a constellation among the classes.
Aesculapius, from his bejeweled throne on Mount Olympus, looks down with admira-tion
upon the Sophomore class and pronounces them as his worthiest sons, for their
pathway has been strewn with pearls of success and the \'ictor's crown awaits them in the
"Temple of Knowledge."

History of the Cl^ss of 1908
HE illustrious Class of 1908 was launched into the mysteries of this
world on the memorable day of October 20th, 1904. We (in other
words, Metz's babies) were born 118 strong and can boast of more
variations than any other class in college.
It was shown at the very start that the class was made of fighting
material, at the election of her officers. The fight was so hotly contested that it required
three meetings to land the successful candidates.
F. F. Long, the Alabama Senator, was landed safely in the chair and has certainly
shown 1908 some wonderful things. He, with his magnetic appearance and gentle voice
has been of invaluable service, and we sincerely regret that his term expires so shortly.
On the night of Dec. 3rd, 1904, our class was most royally entertained by Dr. and
Mrs. Metz, at their elegant home in Rosa Park. Right here let me drop a word to all
those who may come after us in the study of medicine at Tulane. Whenever you have
the blues or feel downhearted, or home-sick, go to Metz's and be cured.
Our class has held up the standard of all previous first year classes, in regard to
examinations. Over 70 per cent, of the class passed Sir Hopkins' examination in physi-ology
and hygiene.
While our class was not represented on the football team of last season, we will be
in the game next year. We have with us Watkins of Sewanee, who played center on that
team last season, and also made the All Southern. We are glad to have him with us
and are expecting great things of him next fall. While our friend Watkins has been
trained and understands the game thoroughly, we have others who, with a little work on
the gridiron, will easily make the varsity.
I have been requested to write something about the handsome men of the class, but
as we have none who are worthy of mention in that capacity, I will postpone it to a future
time; in the meantime we will await developments.
But when it comes to politicians, we are greatly blest. Every one of us is a politician
in some sense of the word. Of course, we, like all other distinguished bodies, have our
leaders among us. Long, Leake, Philipps, W. D., Lamot, Mitchell and many others.
So ends the history of the Class of 1908, and, my dear classmates, let us hope that
our coming years at Tulane will be as enjoyable as the closing one.

A short History of the Ambulance Corps
PREVIOUS to the year 1885, all sick and injured people were conve3-ed to the
hospital in city wagons and various vehicles improvised of every fashion. This,
at least, was detrimental to the chances for the patient's recovery, if said patient
was severely shocked before the journey to the hospital was begun.
Acting upon the suggestion of Dr. A. B. Miles, in his annual report as House Surgeon
of the Charity Hospital, it was determined to establish a service by means of which the
injured could be given immediate medical attention at the place of accident, and conveyed
to the hospital for further treatment, if it was deemed advisable, or to their homes. This
was accomplished by the inauguration of the ambulance service.
Dr. A. B. Miles, in his annual report of 1885, speaking of the ambulance service,
states as follows: "This service organized on the 2d of February, is working satisfactorily.
Its success is due mainly to the competency of the ambulance corps, and the zeal with
which they discharge their duty. Lives have been preserved by the prompt aid rendered
98
on the spot in cases of poisoning and surgical accident." This service has been main-tained
out of the general revenues of the hospital, but at times, donations have been sent
to be used as a special fund for this purpose. Two ambulances were used from the
beginning, but since then, a third, to be used in case of emergency, has been purchased.
These ambulances have been in daily use since Feb. 2, 1885.
Now, a few words relative to the organization of the ambulance corps. When first
organized it consisted of fourteen members ; at present it consists of sixteen. These men
are known as ambulance surgeons, or internes.
The position of interne or ambulance surgeon is not the first thing that a Tulane
first-course medical student obtains, as the pubhc in general think. Indeed, the position
is one of greater importance than this, and one about which the laity know very little.
An interne position is obtained by competitive examination. Only third and fourth
course medical students of Tulane University are allowed to compete. This opens the
field to 200 or 250 men. From the results of the first examination, a certain number of
men are chosen who are requested to appear for a second. From this last examination,
the number of men corresponding to the number of vacancies for that year, taken in the
order of their grades, are recommended by the Board of Examiners to the Board of
Administrators for appointment. In each examination, one question from each branch
of medicine is given, and in the first, several practical cases are given to test the degree
of practical knowledge the appUcant possesses.
Having succeeded in obtaining this appointment, an interne is forced to reside at
the hospital, and is subject to call, day or night, to any of the duties assigned to him.
Each interne is assigned to certain wards and clinics, over which he has complete control,
under the supervision of the house surgeon, his assistants, and the visiting staff. Besides
this daily inside work, as ambulance surgeon he serves 48 hours continuously, out of every
eight days, on ambulance duty. During this time he treats all emergency cases and
.answers all ambulance calls. This appointment is good for two years. The sixteen
internes, two assistant house surgeons, and the house surgeon, compose the resident staff.
The ambulance service has been brought to such a state of efficiency by each suc-ceeding
house surgeon, that at present it is an absolute necessity to the public, and indis-pensable
to the proper workings of such a magnificent charitable institution. It is second
lo none in the whole United States.

Class Poem
Serious, sensible, jolly and fair.
Earnest, impulsive, high-minded and true,
Naturally happy, of cheerfulness rare,
In truth, just mere words can't describe them to you;
On account of their learning they've won great renown.
Right worthy are they of the "Cap and the Gown;"
So, three cheers for the record the Seniors hand down.

A History of the Class of 1905
HE history of the Class of 1905 begins with the settlement at
Newcomb of various Freshmen from the States of Louisiana,
Mississippi, Florida and Alabama, in October of the year
1 90 1. While yet a green and timid people they invaded this
new territory, content for a while with merely holding their
own and making no aggressions on neighboring classes. But
when once this timidity had grown into assurance, and the new
members had acquired the virtue of "sticking together"—that
virtue which for four years has been characteristic, and has
brought victories in dramatics, literature and athletics—the
natural contest for supremacy began. It has been a many-sided
contest and now, almost at its close, I think we may honestly, and not boastfully
either, say that we have made ourselves masters of our college world.
The first decided victory for the 1905's was on the Field of Drama, where, though
Caesar's horse was only a hobby, all of the enemy at Philippi fell together, and the victory
was voted to be the most noteworthy that had been won on Newcomb soil. The leaders
of this great conquest were warriors from Florida, one of whom has followed victory with
victory until in her Senior year she has been chosen president of her class.
It is not a fair history which passes over unnoticed the struggles and failures of a
people. So this will record the defeat of 1905 in its first battle on the Field of Athletics; in
its Sophomore year the flourishing band gave way before a more practiced and skilled
people. But there was neither retreat nor despair, merely a bracing-up and a resolution
so strenuously lived up to that in its Junior year the team broke every Newcomb record,
and carried off as trophy the hard-earned and hotly-contested championship cup. The
band was led by the same captain who now stands at its head, and who will "hold her own"
irresistibly until the cup is again, and for the last time, carried off by 1905.
I know they were said to be "frivolus"—this fun-loving class—and not perfect
models of the sober and dignified seekers after knowledge. But one proof will be sufficient
to show that a healthy body was valued as being the perfect affinity of a healthy mind.
For it was in that same all-glorious Junior year that 1905 changed the usual run of things,
and the Seniors were worsted on the debating stand by the "Woman suffragist" who
"trailed in the dust" the banners of former non-believers and opponents. And though
the four-year history of 1905 has been everything but a fable, I can not refrain from
drawing just one little moral which, among many other important lessons, must be taken
away from their college life by the girls of 1905. They must meet defeat individually as
bravely as they have met it as a class, and they must receive victory as unboastingly and
modestly as they have individually and collectively, from the moment of their first triumph
until their appearance in the garb of Seniorhood—the long coveted and triumphantly
realized Cap and Gown.

A PROPHECY
(The Past, 1901)
"I predict," said the one who had far-seeing eyes,
"That this band of Minervas who are soon to arrive,
By their originality 'II cause great surprise,
And leave for all ages the deeds of '05."
A REALIZATION
(The Present 1905)
Would you believe this was said in the year 1901,
When our real work at Newcomb had scarcely begun ?
And now in reviewing the things we have,done.
The good we've accompHshed, through hardships and fun.
We predict that life's struggles will overwhelm none,
Because of the battles we've all fought and won.
AN APPRECIATION
(The Future, 1910)
"Advance and achieve was the standard they raised,
For four years they kept it, brave hearts, undismayed
;
And we, too, by all shall be honored and praised.
If we play life's drama as '05 has pla)'ed.

History of the Class of 1907
N October the first, nineteen hundred and three, the Class of 1907 came
to hfe. Ever)-thing was in readiness for the new infant. The other classes
stood waiting around, and the green of 1906 still lir gered on the campus
outside.
But, lo! A surprise was in wait for all. Instead of an ignorant
Freshman baby, 1907 sprang forth full-fledged like Minerva from the brain
of Jupiter. The Sophomores looked abashed to see a younger class so
superior and the Juniors held out the hand of friendship to their new sister.
All through her initial year at college Minerva II. lived up to her promising first
appearance and during this term she is even surpassing it. You must be wondering what
some of our famous exploits are.
To begin at the end, our latest and greatest achievement was beating the Juniors in
one of the best basketball games ever played at Newcomb. We are the only Sophomores
who have even been victorious over an upper class. Isn't that something to be proud of?
The ambition of our life at college is to win the championship cup. We still have the
Seniors to beat—but we'll hear the end of the story later. They say pride comes before
a fall, so we will not boast.
Then our class play last year was another triumph. The best I can sa}- is that it was
quite worthy of nineteen seven. Our play of this year is still with the cup in the misty
future, but you may be sure it will be a good one.
Besides these things, we have performed other notable deeds. We have numerous
and sundry times been victorious in locker room fights, and we have subdued the Freshmen
so that they are forced to acknowledge our e.xalted Sophomoric rank.
Time and space forbid that we should go into further detail concerning ourselves,
but w^e hope that this short sketch will suffice to give you a shght idea of the greatness cf
our illustrious class of nineteen sever.

Class of I 907
When the world was young,
When time was a youth,
W'hen women were angels.
When men stood for truth,
There existed a college
Of learning untold.
With towers and turrets,
And pillars of gold.
Therein were three classes
Of different degree,
These boasted of lasses
Of high pedigree.
Seniors, Juniors and Freshmen,
Their ranks did comprise,
The latter were youthful,
(Please hide your surprise).
But in process of time
The Invincihles came.
And a new class arose,
But without a new name.
Too clever for Freshmen,
And too gifted by far,
To be mentioned with Juniors
(Don't they give you a jar ?)
Too young and good-looking
To be classed with that band.
Who with gowns wildly floating
Roamed over the land.
But the oldest professor
—
A sage of great fame.
At last answered the problem.
And gave them a name.
Said he: "As Sophia
For wisdom doth stand,
Sophomore surely fits them.
Sophs, I'm yours to command."

Class History of 1908
EWCOMB has cause to remember long the glorious first of October,
1904. For on this day there entered a class whose brillianc}' and spirit
have never been and never will be equalled in the history of Tulane Uni-versity.
Never were there such girls, and never were done such noble
deeds. So strong is the innate sense of this most wonderful class that not once has 1908
suffered from inexperience—that malady so common to ordinary Freshmen. Far from
succumbing to the evil results of verdancy, we have instead caused others to suffer from
the intense light of our brillianc}\ All Newcomb is dazzled by the glow.
Reluctantly I write such seemingly exaggerated praise as the above, but my duty as
historian bids me set forth the truth—howe^'er flattering it may be, and however modest
I may feel about the achievements of my class.
Thus to continue/'^^all the Faculty hold us in highest esteem. There is not one pro-fessor
who is not delighted when a division of 1908 enters the room to recite to him or her.
This is but natural; it must be so great a relief—so great a change for the better—for one
who has just heard the lessons of some other class, 1907 for example, to hear ours, well
learned and well understood as the}^ always are.
But enough said of our intellectual superiority; you have doubtless, gentle reader,
already heard from other sources much more about it than this whole book could contain.
Now, as to our traditional foes, the Sophomores. Of course, you know of our fights with
them; how we fastened their lockers and hid the keys, and how in revenge they thought
they would shut us up in the locker room. But there they reckoned without their host.
They did succeed in entrapping three or four of our number, but these the rest of us
immediately went about to rescue. We could not force the door, so we went around
under the window and put up a ladder. One of the '08 's was about to climb down by
means of it when overwhelming numbers of Sophs came, and, with a great struggle, bore
it away. They left us, but we were not, as they thought, at the end of our resources.
Ah, Sophomores, you learned a thing or two that day. \A'e piled up tables and chairs and
the girl at the window jumped. She landed safely and triumphantly just as the Sophs came
hurrying back. They were defeated and, in acknowledgment of the fact, they unlocked
the door and thus allowed the remaining Freshmen to leave the room in *.he usual dignified
and conventional manner. This is but one of many incidents which go to prove that 1907
cannot impose upon 1908—the former think that they have to deal with the same kind
of Freshmen as those Newcomb possessed last year, and in this mistaken idea they have
more than once came to grief.
Ah, gentle reader, I would I could continue forever in the narrative of 1908's deeds
of prowess, but unfortunately, space is lacking. So, in the name of our great and glorious
class, I must bid you farewell till you come, sometime in the spring, to witness the best
play that was ever produced; a play chosen by the 1908's, and written by a 1908.
To '08
To thee, O mighty Class of 1908,
In a most learned college, wisest class,
To thee I pledge a love that ne'er'U abate.
Long after I from Newcomb's walls will pass.
To be thy worthy member I'll e'er try,
Though to be that I know is hard, indeed;
Since thee to equal, other classes sigh.
For thou in wisdom other classes lead.
Oh, nineteen eight! Indeed, a great class thou;
And oh, thy future seems so bright to me.
If only things will always be as now,
I'll have no more to wish for, as to thee.
If thou'U fulfill the promise of this hour,
Thou'llt proN'e thyself proud Newcomb's fairest flower.
