Honor Roll On Hospital Who Is Rhazes?
By DALE ROBINSON
Who is Rhazes?
Hundreds of University students pass by Watkins hospital every day. Has any of them ever wondered what those men did to gain fame whose names are graven on the front of the hospital?
The most uncommon and arresting name is Rhazes. An Arabic physician born in 923 A.D., he was the first man to write
a book on measles and small-pox. He did other things for medical science but that was his most notable achievement. Hippocrates Was Father of Medicine
Galen? "The most celebrated of ancient medical writers," according to one authority, was Claudius Gallen, Greek physician born about 130 A.D. An anatomist, he studied and established a nomenclature for the bone structure of the human body which is still used.
Another Greek, Hippocrates, is often termed "the father of medicine." Born to a family of priest-physicians, he was the first to cast aside superstition and base the practice of medicine on the principles of inductive philosophy.
One Canadian Makes The List
The only citizen of the United States whose name appears on the hospital front is C. W. Long, a Georgia doctor of the nineteenth century. He claimed to have been the first user of ether as an anesthetic during an operation.
Another American is the only one of the ten men who lived during this century. Sir William Osler, a Canadian, taught medicine in the United States. He did brilliant research on diseases of the spleen and blood, infections of the heart, and malaria.
Almost everyone has heard of Louis Pasteur, the French chemist who developed a treatment for the rabies which sometimes follow dog bite, and who also perfected the method of rendering raw milk free of pathogenic (disease-producing) bacteria. He discovered the fermentation process by which wine and similar alcohols are created His name is comm
and similar alcohols are created. His name is commemorated in the Pasteur Institute of Paris, one of the world's greatest organizations for scientific research.
The name of a commercial antiseptic has been derived from that of Joseph Lister, an English surgeon who was the first doctor to use antiseptics to speed the healing of incisions.
Amputation Aided By Pare
William Harvey, an Englishman, discovered the circulation of the blood. He also formulated the principle that "all animals, and man himself, are produced from eggs." His genius was shown when his theory was proved true in 1827, almost 200 years after his death.
Ambroise Pare was a French surgeon whose most memorable service was to get general adoption of the use of the ligature for large arteries, a method of controlling hemorrhage which made possible amputation on a large scale. He lived in the sixteenth century.
Edward Jenner, who died in 1823,
warned the discoverer of vaccination
he rendered persons immune to smallpox, a widespread and ravaging disease of that time, by inculcating them with cowpox bacteria, less virulent organisms than smallpox. The body can overcome the cowpox germ without disorder and in so doing builds up its resistance to $ \mathrm{O}_{2} $ stronger bacteria.
Washington Mourns Daniel Roper's Death
Washington, (INS)—High tribute was paid in official Washington today to Daniel C. Roper, former secretary of commerce who died Monday night after a four-month illness.
Secretary of State Cordell Hull sent a telegram to Roper's widow expressing the "heartfelt sympathy" of himself and Mrs. Hull on the passing of "your distinguished husband who has been my friend for more than 30 years."
On the senate floor Sen. Barkley (D) Ky., majority leader of the upper house, declared:
"If ever the title of 'Christian statesman' could be bestowed on a man, Daniel C. Roper was that man."
Meanwhile, funeral services for the commerce secretary of President Roosevelt's first cabinet, were set for Wednesday at 2:30 p. m. at the Mount Vernon place Methodist church in Washington.
No Plans Made for Guest Day
H. G. Ingham, director of the extension division, said he saw no possibility of having an interscholastic guest day. No plans are being made for that event this year.
Treasury Opens Greatest Drive For War Loans
Washington, (INS)—The treasury opened its greatest war loan drive expecting to raise $13,000,000,-000 in the next 18 days.
Treasury Secretary Morgenthau will give the official push to the campaign for a "second war loan" tonight when he speaks from Carnegie Hall in New York, asking Americans to subscribe this huge sum.
Every newspaper in the country, including labor journals and foreign language papers, started a splurge of advertising that the treasury expects to push subscriptions "even beyond" the tremendous quota of $13,000,000,000.
With mounting casualty figures putting Americans in a mood to support total war, treasury's keynote of the campaign is:
War feeling Is High
"They give their lives. . . you lend your money."
The treasury said that $8,000,000,-000 of the $13,000,000,000 must come from other than banking sources or largely from the pockets of the American people.
"No barker ever had a more important cough medicine—a tonic that would remedy more ills than the bonds Uncle Sam will paddle this month," the treasury said.
Uucle Sam Will Peddle
"For every surplus dollar in an American pocket today, the government has a stamp or a bond to take its place. Such quantities of bonds must go that it will take 300,000 volunteer workers to handle the trade."
American radios, newspapers, magazines, all of American that talks will burst with colorful ads, the treasury said, "until freedom rings."

AMERICAN HEROES
BY LEFF
Marine Pvt. 1st Class M. G. Hoffman, survivor of the U. S. S. QUINCY, was a loader on one of her big guns until she was sunk during an engagement with the Japs off Savo Island in the Solomons.
Washington, D. C., (ACP)—Seven United States teachers have arrived in Haiti to help launch a universal English-teaching program in Haitian national schools, the office of education has announced.
Hoffman is typical of the crew. You are helping Hoffman and his buddies when you buy bonds during the Second War Loan Drive. They give their lives—You lend your money.
Initiated by Haiti's president, Elie Lescog, the group is under supervision of James E. Forsythe, and includes four Negro educators. Three more teachers are expected to go to Haiti soon.
U. S. Educators Aid English Program In Haitian Schools
In the teaching program which these teachers will help to develop, English will be taught in all grades above the fourth in all Haitian schools, the office of education reports.
