the paragraph was but an incident of the editorial page which was dominated by the heavy and lengthy leading editorial common to his day. With Mr. Logan the paragraph was the editorial page's whole existence. It is doubtful if the files of The Times during his entire service with that paper, contain an editorial written by him that filled one-fourth of a column. If he had anything to say, he said it in

vine and fig tree, in the enjoyment of the respect and esteem of the thousands who had read his brilliant paragraphs yet had never met him, and the love of those who knew him best and therefore esteemed him highest. He was married November 30, 1881, to Miss Lena Covington of Bowling Green, the daughter of Dr. Albert Covington of that place. To then: were born three stalwart sons, Wells, Emmett

and Delaney. A few years since a great grief came to Mr. Logan in the death of his gentle and accomplished wife. Since then, he has divided his splendid estate of more than five hundred acres among his three sons, taking up his residence in Bowling Green.

Mr. Logan is a Democrat but has been known to go a fishing on election day when a candidate not to his liking happened to be on the ticket. It would be a brave man who would suggest to him that he vote for the candidate on the other ticket.

Mr. Logan is a Presbyterian by birth, training and predilection, but an irreverent friend suggests that he reminds him of the small boy's reply to his Sunday school teacher who asked him if his father was a Christian. "Oh, yes," said the boy, "Dad's a Christian all right, but he ain't doing much at it here lately."

Numerous inducements have been held out to Mr. Logan to return to journalism, or as he would put it, "to newspaper slavery" but he has resisted temptation, and passes into history as "Farmer Logan," a title given him when he left a newspaper office to become a successful farmer.

There have been and are today numerous other newspapers in Kentucky of high standing but the limitations of this work prevent other than the merest mention. The Frankfort Commonwealth owned and edited years ago by A. G. Hodges was a powerful engine of the old Whig party, but is today scarcely more than a memory. The Kentucky Yeoman, also published at Frankfort, was equally as potent in its support of the Democratic faith under the editorship at different times of S. I. M. Major, J. Stoddard Johnston and Henry T. Stanton. It too has almost faded from memory save among those older men who read it in other years. The Evening Post of Louisville, an independent newspaper, edited by Richard W. Knott, with Republican leanings, is a prosperous and virile publication. The Louisville Times, edited by W. B. Haldeman,

is probably the most prosperous afternoon paper in the South. It is Democratic politically, and does not see much to admire in the tenets of any other party. The Herald at Lexington, edited by Desha Breckinridge is a prosperous and excellent paper of pronounced Democratic opinions but its editor does not hesitate to express his opposition to candidates. of his party whom he deems unworthy of support. The Evening Leader of Lexington, owned and edited by Samuel J. Roberts, is a Republican paper, able, clean and forceful with a high standing in the party and among those who respect an adversary who fights fair. The Louisville Herald is the only other Republican daily newspaper published in the State. State. It is under the editorial management of S. J. Duncan-Clark and is a clean, well edited and prosperous paper. The Daily Messenger at Owensboro, is owned and edited by Urey Woodson, for a number of years past a member of and Secretary of the National Democratic Committee. In the days when Mr. Bryan had the habit of running for the Presidency, Mr. Woodson was his ablest supporter in Kentucky. The News-Democrat of Paducah edited by W. A. Berry is a strong and excellent paper which has done its full share in keeping the First District in the Democratic line. The Kentucky News-Era at Hopkins, owned by Walker Wood and edited by T. C. Underwood, is a bright and shining Democratic light in the Second district. Mr. Underwood has a lively fancy; does not let anyone know that there was ever a dark side to life, and among the newspaper men of the State is a well-beloved associate.

The Messenger, edited by Edward O. Leigh, the Times-Journal, edited by Denhardt Brothers, and the News, edited by John Gaines, are the three daily papers which keep the people of Bowling Green informed as to the news of the world. If the publishers of these papers were to take the newspaper men of the country into their confidence and convey to them

the secret of the success of three daily newspapers in a town of ten thousand people, they would earn their undying gratitude.

There are scores of weekly newspapers in

the State-most of them very good paperswhich are entitled to direct mention but again, "the forms are full" and they may not be given that credit to which they are entitled.

The Medical History of Kentucky is a chronicle of achievement. For generations the members of the medical profession of Kentucky have been in the foremost ranks of the learned and skilled practitioners of the country, and Kentucky has been one of the chief centers of medical teaching.

Hence the history of medicine in Kentucky centers around Transylvania University. Before Kentucky became a state the General Assembly of Virginia in May, 1770, set aside 8,000 acres of land as a fund for maintaining a public seminary, passing an act granting a charter to Transylvania University. In 1773 the Virginia Legislature passed another act chartering the school under the name of Transylvania Seminary, and increased the land grant to 12,000 acres. This latter act gave the school all the powers and privileges of a university, and for a number of years it was to a considerable extent managed by the Presbyterian Church. In 1789 it was located in Lexington, Kentucky, with Isaac Wilson at its head with only thirteen pupils.

Lexington wishing to establish the seminary within its limits, organized what was called the Transylvania Land Company and this company offered a lot of ground if the Trustees of the Seminary would build. At this time At this time they had no regular place to hold classes and this offer was accepted, the first school building being erected shortly after.

The Trustees of Transylvania University met in Lexington, Kentucky, June 8, 1799, and organized the Medical Department of the

University, calling it the Medical College of Transylvania. The following men composed the medical faculty: James Fishback, Elisha Warfield, Joseph Buchanan, Constantine S. Rafinesque, H. H. Eaton, Samuel Brown, Robert Peter, Benjamin W. Dudley, James Overton, William H. Richardson, Daniel Drake, Charles Caldwell, John Esten Cook, Charles Wilkins Short, Lunsford P. Yandell, Sr., James M. Bush, Ethelbert Dudley, Henry Martyn Skillman, Frederick Ridgely, John Eberlee. Not all of these men were elected at the opening of the school, but the list represents men who were connected with the medical department from first to last. Dr. Samuel Brown was the first medical instructor to qualify, beginning his work October 9, 1799. He taught chemistry, anatomy and surgery. He was one of the first men in this country to use cowpox, having vaccinated as many as 500 as early as 1802. Dr. Ridgely qualified in November, 1799, and taught midwifery, material medica and physic. After the first session the faculty disbanded because of internal dissensions, Drake going to Cincinnati, and Overton to Nashville.

During the second year the faculty was reorganized. Dr. Dudley was in his former chair and Drs. Richardson and Blythe again two of his colleagues. Dr. Charles Caldwell took the chair of Institutes of Medicine, Dr. Samuel Brown Theory and Practice of Medicine. An effort was made to transfer the medical department to Louisville in 1837 but failed because of Dr. Dudley's opposition.

Dr. Benjamin Dudley took offense at some remark of Dr. Daniel Drake in a faculty meeting and challenged him to a duel. He did not accept but his next friend Dr. Wm. H. Richardson did and was shot by Dr. Dudley in the leg, which severed an artery. At once Dr. Dudley stopped the hemorrhage and they shook hands, and were forever afterwards the best of friends.

The first botanical garden ever undertaken in this country on a large scale was that started in Lexington, Kentucky, but not completed, by Constantine Samuel Rafinesque who was elected Professor of Botany in the Medical College in 1818.

The medical faculty was reorganized in 1815 and again when Daniel Drake took such an interest and aroused public sentiment for the college in 1819, from this latter reorganization, the pupils increased from 20, with a single graduate, to 200 students and 56 graduates. After the medical faculty was reorganized the following were appointed: Benjamin W. Dudley, Professor of Anatomy and Surgery; Coleman Rogers, Adjunct Anatomy and Surgery; James Overton. Theory and Practice; William H. Richardson, Obstetrics; Thomas Cooper, Chemistry. Some of these refused to serve and resigned without giving a reason, probably personal jealousy. In 1850 the med ical faculty intermitted the winter session in Lexington, Kentucky, so as to establish the Kentucky School of Medicine in Louisville, Kentucky, as a winter school, retaining the school in Lexington as a summer school.

The Medical Department of the University of Louisville was organized in 1837. The Louisville Medical College was organized in 1850; The Hospital College of Medicine in 1874; Kentucky University Medical Department in 1898. Appreciating the necessity for consolidation of medical colleges in Louisville, a number of attempts were made to bring them together, resulting in the consolidation in 1956, of the University of Louisville and the

Kentucky University under the name of the University of Louisville; and the Louisville Medical College and the Hospital College of Medicine under the name of the Louisville and Hospital College of Medicine. In 1907, these two colleges united with the Kentucky School of Medicine, under the name of the University of Louisville, Medical Department.

The profession of Kentucky has long believed in organized medicine, the organization of the Kentucky State Medical Society being affected in the Senate Chamber at Frankfort in October, 1851. Dr. W. L. Sutton was called to the chair and Dr. Joshua B. Flint introduced resolutions that a State Medical Society be formed with the leading physicians of the state as members. A constitution and the code of ethics of the American Medical Association were adopted. No sessions were held during the Civil War, the first session after the war convening in Louisville in April, 1867. An annual volume of transactions was issued to 1879 and then discontinued, a new series being begun in 1892 which continued until the reorganization of the Society into the State Medical Association, the basis of membership in it being membership in a County Medical Society. From this time the proceedings of the Association have been published in a monthly medical journal edited by the Secretary of the Association under the direction of the council.

The chief medical publication of this section. was the "American Practitioner" published formerly under the name of "Western Journal of Medicine." The first number was issued in January, 1870, and edited by Drs. David W. Yandell, Professor of Clinical Surgery in the University of Louisville, and Theophilus Parvin, Professor of the Medical and Surgical Diseases of Women in the Medical College of Indiana, and published by John P. Morton & Co. of Louisville. In 1883 Dr. Parvin retired, removing to Philadelphia, and Dr. Yandell edited the journal alone.
