s position in spite of all the ills a magazine isheir to. The militant spirit of the Association has not confined its eflfortsto our own school. Many hospitals have opened their doors to our gradu-ates as internes through the indefatigable work of the Committee onHospital Appointments. Some boards are still obdurate, objecting towomen as such, because they have not yet learned better. A trustee ofone hospital expressed himself as having no use for long-haired men,or short-haired women. His objection surely does not hold now, forall in his category have disappeared from our College halls. Of the remainder of their exploits, much might be written. But thisis unnecessary, for are not the monuments to their endeavors alwayswith us? Far better now than retrospection is a resolve to turn the faceforward to the task ahead, looking toward the day when not only afew, but all of our students shall make the most of the social, educationaland professional advantages offered by our Alma Mater. 135

o cz The Undergraduate Medical Society Officers President, Adelaide Ellsworth, ii.Vice-President, Amy A. Metcalf, 12.Secretary, Lelia McLatchy, 13.Treasurer, Mary S. Smith, 14. At a meeting held on December 16, 1910, the Undergraduate Med-ical Society elected the above named officers for the ensuing year. The interest and enthusiasm displayed at this meeting augurs wellfor the future success of the Society. A series of monthly lectures willbe given throughout the year by members of the medical profession onsubjects purely technical or on those intended to develop a broader cul-ture along medical lines. The opening lecture was given by ProfessorHenry Lefifmann on The Doctor in Fiction, and it proved a rare treatto the Society and members of the alumnae present. The Society extends the hand of fellowship to all members of thestudent body and aims to lay a foundation for that unanimity and friend-ship which is essential to the dignity and usefulness of the profession. 137 Y.
