MEANS APPOINTED MEDICAL ADVISOR

New Incumbent Will Assume Office September 1--Has Had Charge of Freshman Physical Examinations

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Dr. Paul Howard '17, has been appointed to succeed Dr. Marshall Henry Bailey as Medical Advisor for students in the University, it was announced last night.

Dr. Bailey's resignation, as announced on February 4, is not because of ill health, but because he is desirous of retiring from all active medical practice. He also feels that it is wise for Wads worth House to have a young doctor who would be more suited to the arduous duties of Medical Advisor after he leaves and who has as yet made no definite plans for the future.

Dr. Bailey will not give up his office until September 1, 1928, when Dr. Means will officially take over the responsibilities and duties of the position. For Dr. Bailey, this date will mark the end of 33 years of service in the University.

He started in his present position in 1895 when students had to go to Lawrence Hall for medical advice. Later, he held office in Thayer Hall in Room 21. Within a few years, he finally moved his office to its present location in Wads worth House. In addition to serving as Medical Advisor for the University, Dr. Bailey is the physician for Stillman Infirmary. He assumed this duty when the infirmary was first completed 20 years ago.

Dr. Means has been assisting Dr. Bailey in the work at the infirmary for the past three years and in addition has conducted and followed up the Freshman physical examinations since he has been here.
