The Painless  Operation 

...  High  up  under  the  dome  of  Boston's  Massachu 
setts  General  Hospital,  far  removed  from  the  wards 
so  that  the ^creams  of  sufferers  under  the  knife  will 
not  horrify  the  ward  patients,  is  the  Hospital's  famed 
operating  amphitheatre.  Many  a  medical  student 
dreads  the  operations  he  is  privileged  to  watch,  fre 
quently  faints.  But  one  day  last  week  Dr.  John  C. 
Warren,  Boston  surgeon,  led  a  group  of  surgeons 
and  students  (class  of  1847)  up  the  long  stairs,  eager, 
hurrying. 

For  there  beckoned  an  interesting  experiment — 
surgery  without  pain.  Dr.  William  Thomas  Green 
Morton,  27-year  old  Boston  dentist,  thought  it  pos 
sible,  had  experimented  to  that  end  with  ether,  a 
volatile,  pungent  chemical  compound  capable  of  pro 
ducing  insensibility.  He  had  tried  it  on  animals,  on 
himself,  then  on  his  patients  while  extracting  the 
roots  of  decayed  teeth.  Finally  he  had  obtained  per 
mission  from  Dr.  Warren  to  let  him  test  his  drug 
before  an audience.  One  Gilbert  Abbott,  with  a  tumor 
on his neck,  was  to be  the  first  trial. 

At  11  a.m.  the  last  privileged  student  hurried  into 
the  amphitheatre.  Experimentee  Abbott,  fidgeting  on 
the  operating-table,  looked  anxiously  at  the  clock. 
Casual  talk  ceased,  sudden  silence  prevailed  as  the 
minute-hand  crawled  past  the  hour,  and  Dr.  Morton 
did  not  appear.  "He  and  his  anesthetic!  Humbugs 
both,  no  doubt!"  mumbled  a  doctor.  It  became  five 
minutes  past  eleven,  ten,  then  a  quarter  after.  The 
patient  stirred  uneasily,  Dr.  Warren  selected  an  in 
strument,  advanced  to  the  table—useless  to  delay  pro 
ceedings  any  longer.  As  his  knife  poised  for  the  in 
cision,  Dr.  Morton,  breathless,  apologetic,  rushed  in. 
He held in one hand a curious globe-and-tube  apparatus. 
In  eager  concentration,  tensely  expectant,  the  wait 
ing  group  of  surgeons  and  students  watched  while  the 
newcomer — a  charlatan  perhaps,  a  genius  possibly — 
adjusted  his  peculiar  inhaling  apparatus  to  the  pa 
tient's  mouth  and  with  tense  composure  administered 

his  anesthetic.  Veiled  skepticism  revealed  itself  when 
the  patient  reacted  suddenly  in  wild  exhilaration,  but 
this  exuberance  subsided,  relaxation  took  its  place, 
then  unconsciousness.  Skepticism  was  routed,  amaze 
ment  paramount.  Said  Dentist  Morton  to  Surgeon 
Warren:  "Your  patient  is  ready." 

Dr.  Warren  began  to  operate,  proceeded  quickly,  in 
five  minutes  had  finished.  From  the  patient  came  no 
cry  of  pain,  no  agony  of  distress,  only  slight  move 
ments,  mumbled  words  as  from  one  who  stirs  on  the 
borderland  of  s l e e p . . .. 

"This,  gentlemen,"  exclaimed  Surgeon  Warren,  "is 

no  humbug." 

Awake,  Gilbert  Abbott  said,  "I  felt  no  pain."

ingenuity 

Under  an  elected  board  of  control  the  club  is  managed  by 
a  student,  and.  with  the  exception  of  cooks,  is  entirely  student 
manned.  Nearly  forty  men  earn  their  board  there  by  waiting 
table.  Not  only  has 
the  club  been  able  to  provide  enough 
wholesome  food  t h at  the  patrons  claim  to  have  consistently 
gained  weight,  but  dividends  of  free  meals  have  been  paid 
to  the  entire  club  for 
two  and  a  half  weeks  out  of  eleven 
during  the  winter  term.  The  same  profit  taking  will  probably 
be  granted  this  term. 

Behind 

the  set-up  of 

the  club  is  a  faculty  committee  of 
about  fifteen  men.  Long  years  of  turmoil  have  made  college

Two  years  ago  the  club  was  abandoned  permanently  by  t he

Some  collegians  tackle  the  eating  problem,  then,  in  groups; 
to  many  of  them  it  is  purely  personal,  to  be  worked  out  in 
one's  own  way.  A  striking  example  of  how  this  is  accom

Recognition  by  the  A.  A.  U.  W.  has  been  sought  by 

the 
College  for  many  years.  Application 
in  1926  was  denied, 
although  the  school  was  granted  associate  membership,  which 
local  chapters  but 
meant 
could  not  hold  voting  privileges.  Specific  conditions  t h at 
the 
association  did  not  approve  withheld  full  membership.  Lib 
eralizing  of  the  college  curricula,  promotion  of  women  staff 
members,  and  a  general  raising  of  academic  standards  were 
the  direction 
brought  about  by 
of  President  Shaw,  with  a  view 
to  ultimate  membership. 
State's  acceptance  now  is  a  demonstration

President  Shaw's  desire

Dr.  Manly  Miles  was  the  first  professor  of  agriculture  at 
M.  A.  C.  and  through  his  prophetic  vision  linked 
intimately 
the  rapid  development  of  science  with  progressive  agricul 
ture.  He  was  an  ardent  advocate  and  promoter  of  the  stu 
dents'  labor  system,  wnich  was  an  intrinsic  factor  in  t he  early 
life  of 
the  College.  Dr.  Miles  was  born  July  20,  1826,  a nd 
died  February  15,  1898.

A friend  of  CHESTERFIELD 
writes us  of  a  salesman  who  had 
"something  to  s a y ": 

!* I  dropped  into  a  little  to 
bacco  shop, and  when  I  asked 
for  a  pack  of  Chesterfields 
the  man  smiled  and  told  me 
I  was  the  seventh  customer 
without  a  break  to  ask  for 
? Smoker  after 
Chesterfields. 
smoker,'  he  said, 
f tells  me 
that  Chesterfields  click  . ..  I 
sell  five times  as many  Chest 
erfields as I did a while  hack." 

to  say 
Yes,  there's  something 
about  Chesterfields  and  it  takes 
just  six words  to say  it—"They're 
mild  and  vet  they  satisfy."
