This is the great danger that constantly threatens all schools recognizing the utilitarian principle in the danger It against which we must all unitedly stand, and at serious digression, I beg of you that you will give your voice and your influ ence to encourage among teachers and students that broad scholarly spirit in the consideration of every subject, however directly utilitarian, the value of which Dr. Kedzie's career so convincingly demonstrates. this broad and thorough education, Dr. Kedzie laid broad and deep the foundations of success as a physician, in the devo tion to others' good which his masters had taught him ; and as they teaches had a others. the U. graduating medical class of of M., he says: Give me the poor of a neighborhood for my patients, and I will not fail to win the rich. Let men see by indisputable proofs that you really seek their well-being, them, that you seek, not and you will bind with hooks of steel that community to your best prosperity." W i th the usual witty turn he adds; "Perhaps some one may ask, 'if sanitary laws are to be enforced and sickness vanishes, what will become of physician ? this be killing the goose Will not that lays the golden egg ?' I answer none but a goose would ask such a question." Note how with a keen stroke of wit he contemptuously dismisses the grovelling utilitarian who thinks first and always of self. thoroughly No man was ever more oractical in his teaching than was D r. Kedzie, yet no man ever taught in a more broadly the humanities than he taught humanitarian spirit In an address before taught him, theirs but so he the the most thoroughly practical phases of agriculture or dietetics. Would that many might catch the spirit of his method! No man can speak of Dr. Kedzie even as cursorily as I am speaking without doing homage to the pung ent "Attic salt" of wit with which he seasoned all that he said. T he de linquent student stood in awe of the to sharp, incisive word that pierced the quick and exposed all the weak ness and falsity of his nature. No opponent cared to stand before the caustic satire, as fierce of that of Dryden or P o p e, that made him a terror to evil-doers and a powerful ally for right and truth. But unlike Pope his wit was never sour or cyn the ical, and frequently it was like that quick gilds and glorifies that which a mo ment before was leaden and somber. the discovery and uses of various metals he says: ',' From the use of platinum in tele graphy and of iridium on the points of gold penSj we might say that the platinum group of metals is especially related to the progress of letters." the sunshine Speaking of dart of He for takes quinine liquified air, he that he may "shake hands at once and forever with that quaking shaker, the ague."
