Dr. Leonard O. Sloane, of Juneau, Alaska, who has been visiting Baltimore for several weeks, has left the city. He came to this city to avail himself of the opportunities for clinical instruction offered by this University, and was much pleased with the work he was able to see at the University Hospital, the Woman's Hospital, the Hebrew Hospital and at Bay View. He is physician to St. Ann's Hospital, at Juneau, and is a progressive and able member of our profession.
In the recent examinations held for commissions in the medical corps of the United States Army, Dr. J. S. Fox, one of the surgeons at the St. Francis Xavier Hospital, was a successful contestant, and the War Department has notified him that he will be commissioned a first lieutenant and will be ordered to proceed to a post in the West. One hundred doctors took the examination for the appointments, but only thirteen were successful. Dr. Fox, who will be one of the youngest surgeons in the Army, was high up in the list of the fortunate ones.
Dr. Fox is a son of the late Dr. T. S. Fox, of Batesburg, who was a distinguished surgeon in the Confederate Army. He is a nephew of Mr. J. T. Fox, of that town. Dr. Fox is twenty-nine years of age, and was born in Batesburg, S. C. After completing the high school at that place he entered Richmond College, Richmond, Va., and was there for three years, when he entered the Medical College at Baltimore. Fourteen months ago he came to Charleston to accept an appointment as one of the house surgeons of the St. Francis Xavier Infirmary, and during his stay in this city has made a fine record for himself, and now has many friends here.
