Hospital internes on emergency call sometimes have queer cases to.handle in a hurry. Last week in Manhattan, Interne David Wassermann of City Hospital had the queerest one in his four-month career. He found his patient, a small, plucky handyman named Marion Garey, wrapped in elevator cables over the elevator shaft of a 16-story hotel. The cables held the man so tightly that he could move only his left arm. And with this he was dully smoking a cigaret when Dr. Wassermann arrived...
...morphine which Dr. Wassermann injected into helpless Marion Garey was less to deaden pain, which the man no longer felt, than to prevent him from collapsing from shock. After giving the morphine, the doctor applied a tourniquet, cut through the flesh of the broken leg, applying hemostats to the blood vessels he severed. He had no need to saw the bones; they were broken through. Twelve minutes after the morphine injection...
...Major Garey went to work for Metropolitan Life Insurance Co., cultivated his farm, played with his seven children, pondered pedagogy. Last week he announced that next autumn he will open a school for boys. He has acquired "Oakington," the 550-acre estate of the late Commodore Leonard Richards on Chesapeake Bay near Aberdeen, Md.

The school will be "progressive," carry learning-by-doing to its extreme. Grey-haired...
...John's College at Annapolis, third oldest in the U. S. (founded 1696), was until 1923 a military institution. Surprisingly, it had no military president until then, when Major Enoch Barton Garey, a brisk, sturdy graduate of St. John's and West Point, military science professor at Johns Hopkins, became its head. Also surprisingly Major Garey, though his manual of arms textbook is standard in U. S. colleges, abolished military training at St. John's. Major Garey worked for the cultural improvement of St. John's, but he and the trustees disagreed on policies...
Students at St. John's wore uniforms until 1826; black hat, blue coat, trousers grey in winter, white in summer. They took military training until a few years ago, when it was abolished by Lieut.-Colonel Enoch Barton Garey, only military head St. John's ever had. Lieut-Colonel Garey resigned in 1929. Douglas Gordon became acting president last May. Since then he has introduced partial substitution of theses for course examinations, tutorial conferences and individual reading for classroom work...
