FREEMAN DRUG CO.
BURLINGTON, N. C.
The first alumnus of the college
to enter the medical profession
was Dr. W. H. Boone, Durham,
N. C. Dr. Boone has achieved a
large distinction in his profession.
He began as a general practition
er, but his practice became so
heavy that he soon confined him
self to office work and later to
office work for the eye, ear, nose
and throat. Dr. Boone graduated
in the class of ’94 and is now a
trustee of the college.
The next doctor of medicine be
longed to the class of ’96. Dr. J.
E. Rawles is also a member of
the board of trustees. He is se
nior surgeon of the Lakeview
Hospital, Suffolk, Va., and con
fines his practice to surgery in
the hospital only. Dr. Rawles is
owner of the Hospital, together
with his brother. Dr. D. L.
Rawles, also an Elon man, and
Dr. D. L. Harrell.
Dr. C. M. Walters, ’04, Burling
ton, N. C., worked his way
through College and through the
University of North Carolina. He
began to practice at Union Ridge.
During the first “flu” epidemic, he
overworked himself. He then
moved to Burlington, where he
is popular and successful.
The next doctor is a woman.
Dr. Anna Irene Helfenstein, ’06,
Koekuk, Iowa. She practices
medicine in the social service way,
i. e., not as a means of livelihood,
but for the service she can ren
der.
Dr. J. C. Wilkins, ’07, Haw
River, N. C., is really a commun
ity servant in more ways than
professionally. His wife, nee Miss
Bessie Gilliam, also an Elon stu
dent, died February 8, 1920. She
left an only child, Bessie Beatrice,
born February 28, 1918.
Dr. A. Liggett Lincoln, ’10, of
163 East 36th street. New York
City, has the distinction of being
two doctors. That is to say, he
married a doctor, Miss Edith
Maas. Dr. Liggett served as cap
tain in the A. E. F. They are both
practicing physicians in New
York City now.
Dr. J. S. Lincoln, ’11, of New
York Hospital, New York City,
also served as captain in the A. E.
F., and distinguished himself for
his endurance and bravery in ac
tion. He now holds a rare hos
pital appointment.
Dr. G. G. Holland, ’14, Holland,
Va., has recently graduated from
the Medical College of Virginia,
and entered upon his practice as
partner of his distinguished
father.
Dr. F. M. Aycock, ’15, 400 North
Tenth street, Richmond, Va., has
recently graduated in medicine.
He is in love with his profession
and will achieve a good success.
R. A. Wilkins, ’18, and H. T.
Floyd, ’19, are medical students
now in Baltimore, in the Univer
sity of Maryland and Johns Hop
kins Medical College respec
tively.
This list does not include the
Elon men who have entered medi
cine as a profession, taking up
their medical studies before re
ceiving their college degrees.
That list would be too long for
publication here. Elon is proud
of her medical alumni, every one
of whom is active in Christian
work.
DR. J. O. ATKINSON
ADDRESSES THE
STUDENT VOLUNTEERS
With 25 persons present the
Student Volunteer band heard Dr.
J. O. Atkinson on November 9.
As is always the case Dr. Atkin
son’s speech was a very inspiring
one.
“No service can be enjoyed un
less it is sealed with sacrifice,” he
declared. He spoke of the mar
velous awakening to the need of
missions in the Church, and told
of a young man who wanted to go
into the foreign field some years
ago, but could not because there
was no money in the treasury.
“We have money enough now xo
send you,” he told the volunteers.
The speaker then turned to mis
sionary books which was his real
subject, and suggested Robert E.
Speer’s “Servants of the King,”
and “Some Leaders in the World
Movement” as fine books which
every volunteer should read.
He mentioned “Fifty Mission
ary Heroes and Heroines.” “I
want you to read some such books
as ‘Anne of Ava,’ and ‘Under
Marching Orders,’ ” he said. “You
can’t touch life at its sweetest and
best unless you read books like
this,” Dr. Atkinson went on.
“What a pity that we don’t have
more missionary fiends !” he ex
claimed.
“The world is calling for Chris
tian workers. We have the mon
ey. but where are the men?” He
suggested that the band attempt
to put some real missionary books
in the library. “I want you to
read a real hero book.”
After assuring the band' of his
prayers, he declared, “You can’t
know life at its sweetest and best
except through sacrificial serv
ice.”
The Student Volunteers are
down at work prayerfully and
earnestly. Misses Adams, Bur
gess, Massey, and Lilly will lead
at the next four respective meet
ings. Everybody is invited to at
tend.
