    Changes in Personnel. An important function of these annual departmental reports is their service as a reposi¬ tory of data concerning the staff and its changes, which some day may be of historical interest. An institution which takes pride in the subsequent careers of those who have once been connected with it should make some record of their activities and this in a measure is covered by the register of our present and past members which it is our custom to append. We have lost by death only one of our former house-officers, Dr. Ernest Grey, who after four years with us, the last two of them as an Assistant Resident, was offered a full-time position on the Surgical service at the Johns Hopkins Hospital. He was one of the most scholarly and productive men we have ever had, and his subsequent work in Baltimore was a great credit to the training he had received. His untimely death from pneumonia ended his all too brief career on October 12, 1916. Our first Resident, Dr. Emil Goetsch, after three years with us, was likewise called to the Johns Hopkins on a full-time basis and became an Associate Professor of Surgery. From there he was called, in .1919, as Professor of Surgery and Surgeon-in-Chief to the Long Island Col¬ lege Hospital in Brooklyn, a position well deserved by the excellence and originality of his contributions to medicine. Dr. Jacobson since leaving us has been offered a promising teaching position at the University of Minne¬ sota. He in turn was succeeded in the important position of Resident Surgeon by Dr. E. C. Cutler, one of our former house-officers who subsequently was Resident Surgeon at the Massachusetts General Hospital; he then passed a year at the Rockefeller Institute and, after two years with the army in France, returned to us.
