I realize what my four years at the University of California has done and will continue to do to make life fuller for me, and if a like scholarship can do as much for another, I feel that it is not only my pleasure but my duty to return that amount now.

DEATH OF PRESIDENT HOLDEN

The University flag was at half-mast on March 17 for the death of Dr. Edward S. Holden, from 1885 to 1888 President of the University of California, and from 1888 to 1898 Director of the Lick Observatory. Since 1902 he had served as Librarian of the United States Military Academy at West Point.

DEATH OF DR. GEORGE F. REINHARDT

Dr. George Frederick Reinhardt, Professor of Hygiene and University Physician in the University of California, whose development of the Infirmary system in the University, by which complete care was taken of the health of five thousand students, was an achievement memorable in the history of preventive medicine in America, died in the Infirmary on June 7, 1914.

Dr. Reinhardt's death was accidental in cause, and one of those martyrdoms in which a physician lays down his life in the service of others. For some weeks he had been giving surgical attention daily to a patient who was suffering from a carbuncle. Through some accidental mischance the same streptococcic infection established itself in the physician himself. A serious carbuncle formed, which was operated on at the Infirmary. The strain was, however, so virulent that surgical treatment and medical care were unavailing and after an extremely brief course death resulted. Bacteriological examination at the State Hygienic Laboratory showed the extreme virulence of the infection.

The funeral services were held the morning of June 9 in the garden of the University Infirmary, which stands as an enduring monument to the creator of its very idea. Rev. Albert W. Palmer of the Plymouth Congregational Church of Oakland and President Benj. Ide Wheeler of the University of California were the speakers at the services, which were attended by large delegations from the faculty and from the student body of the University, from various student and medical organizations, and by many hundreds of grateful and devoted friends. There were further services in private at the Oakland Crematory.

Dr. Reinhardt was born in Kansas on June 3, 1869. His boyhood was spent at San Jacinto and elsewhere in Southern California. He received the degree of B.S. from the University of California in 1897, after an undergraduate career in which he had played on the football eleven, served as football manager, and been a leader in student affairs. He then spent three years in the

Medical Department of the University of California, receiving his degree of M.D. in 1900. From that time until his death he practiced in Berkeley with much success, and achieved much reputation as a surgeon. In 1900 he was appointed Medical Examiner and in 1903 Professor of Hygiene and University Physician in the University of California.

His most memorable contribution to University life in America was made in 1906, when he prevailed upon the authorities of the University of California to carry out the plan which he had for some time been maturing of establishing an Infirmary systemsomething theretofore quite without academic precedent. A wellequipped hospital was established on the University campus, and every student, in return for an Infirmary fee of $3.00 each half year, was given the privilege of all the medical and hospital care that the student might require. A staff of physicians was assembled, a corps of graduate nurses organized, under the superintendency of Miss Ethel Sherman, and a remarkable clinic developed. At the time of Dr. Reinhardt's death the daily average of bed cases had risen to ten, and the daily average of consultations and dispensary treatments to more than a hundred. For medical advice and hospital care there was no charge beyond the Infirmary fee itself. For surgical operations-and some fifty major operations and a large number of minor operations were performed every year-the student paid a moderate fee which went to the Infirmary fund and not to the surgeon. Dr. Reinhardt and the medical staff were remunerated by the University and there was no element of private gain in their relation to the Infirmary.

The Infirmary system proved a great blessing to the students of the University. What resulted was that students were kept well, instead of being allowed to become sick. Ailments received early attention, and numerous cases that might have involved long illness or death were made of little account by the fact of this early attention. A richly valuable educational part of the system was that the students were taught to take care of their health, to avail themselves of the resources of scientific medicine, and to avoid quacks and patent medicines, using instead competent medical advice.

For a dozen years, too, Dr. Reinhardt lectured twice each week, throughout the first half of the freshman year, to all the men in the freshman class, on the principles of public and personal hygiene. This instruction was exceedingly valuable in teaching the students some understanding of how to safeguard their bodily resources and the obligations of citizens in the way of right relation toward the problems of public health and community sanitation.
