and whether lie accomplishes his
end, nnd not to think in terms of
favorites. At the risk of repetition
we will say that no one can have
any dealings with Professor Goodman and not be Inspired to read
something of Willa Cather's.
Although professors make Mr.
Mencken froth at the mouth, Professor Goodman, more tolerantly,
considers him an excellent critic, in
truth the only outstanding one in
America at present. Stuart Sherman, he would rank above Mencken
were he alive. He refers to Babbitt as a "frightfully written novel"
whose style is like that of a mediocre Journalist. He discerns in the
books
of Willa Cather, James
Branch Cabell and in The Bride of
Luis Rey, or rather in their
Ban
popularity, a definite, movement
away from naturalism and realism.
In person Professor Goodman is
short and stocky with a trace of the
aesthetic. He dresses soberly and
with unusual fastidiousness. He is
a dark visaged person. He has a
classroom laugh that approaches the
giggle of a girl and which we would
not dare try to reproduce.
He does not find the student of
today to be far different from the'
student of his day. "He has better
sense of values and knows the value
of money better," but his equipment
shows deficiencies. He hasn't read as
much and as good things. Only one
out of fifteen recognize the names
of Willa Cather, Professor Beard
and wniiam Beebe. The majority
of freshmen can hardly differentiate
Wells from Shaw. A striking number never have been to a museum
Goodman feels that college does
much to remedy this whether the
student wills so or not.
Class rivalry is today as intense
as then except that then the juniors
were aligned with the freshmen,
and the seniors with the sophomores. Professor Goodman still carries a souvenir booklet passed out
at the soph banquet of the class of
'19 to which he was invited as a
senior. Professor Goodman's remark
about student government should
have a special significance to some:
"I don't know anything about the
student council today, but In my
day it was a talkative and very
often inefficient body, and a great
disappointment to one who believed
in student
We like to conjure the Image

John T. Hodscn, then known as the
greatest surgeon In the West. He
came to Lexington, Ky in 1882, and
since that time has made his home
here.
In 1890 Dr. Pryor became the
third man to teach Physiology in
the State College, succeeding Dr.
Thomas Hunt Morgan, who is now
professor of Experimental Biology at
Columbia University. Before 1888,
physiology had been taught In connection with natural history. Shortly after this the college established
one of the first
courses
in the United States. Among the
many well known men who have
studied under Dr. Pryor was the
late Dr. Arthur S. Loevenhart, former Head of the Department of
Pharmacology and Toxicology at
the University of Wisconsin, and
Dr. William ' Carpenter MacCarty,
present pathologist of the Mayo
Clinic. Dr. MacCarty has often said
that he received his inspiration
from Dr. Pryor and recently wrote
the latter a letter In' which he said,
"I am sending you some of my re
cent reprints, showing your influ
ence still exists."
Dr. Pryor first became interested
research work in 1890 fol
in
lowing an accident which occurred
to a student in the College of Engineering. The young man lost several fingers In a planing machine
and Dr. Pryor dressed the wound.
Some time later he had an X-rmade of the boy's hand to see how
the ends of the bones were healing,
From this time he .made frequent
pictures of children's hands in order to study the ossification of the
bones.
In this work he has made several
discoveries relating to the growth of
the bones and he was the first man
to establish the difference in the
ossification of the male and female
skeletons. He also discovered that
ossification begins much sooner
PERMANENT
than had been thought before, and
corrected the prevailing textbooks
MARCEL WAVE
on the nature of ossification in the
carpus. These views have been accepted by textbooks all over the
world and accredited to Dr. Pryor.
During the time he lit5 been connected with the University, he has
been a member of the City Board
of Health and the Fayette County
Board of Healfh for more than 10
years until his resignation. He has
also been president of the Fayette
