While stvidying in New York City he also attended clinics in various hos- pitals, and through assiduous study gained a knowledge of these subjects that has never failed him and that has placed him among the leading opthalmologists and laryngologists o^ \'irginia. He has been president of the Winchester Memorial Hos- pital since its establishment in 1904, his choice for this position a tribtite to his professional standing, and is eye and ear surgeon of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. Numerous articles and treatises in medical journals have appeared over Dr. McGuire's signature, among them "Modern Methods in Refraction Work," "Ulceration of Cornea and its Treatment," and "Management of Cases of Ophthalmia Nuratorum." He holds membership in the Virginia Medical .So- ciety, the Southern Medical Society, the American Medical Association, the Amer- ican Academy of Optholmology and Oto- Laryngology. the Association of Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Surgeons, the alumni associations of his colleges, and the Pi Mu fraternity.

Herbert Farrar Hutcheson. The family name of Hutcheson appears on the records of past centuries in various forms — Hutche- son, Hutchison, Hutchason, Hutchinson, Hutcherson. In modern days these have piactically settled down to two forms — Hut- cheson and Hutchinson. Broadly speaking Hutcheson is Scotch and Hutchinson is English. The Hutcheson coat-of-arms is thus described by Burke, the British author- ity : ".Argent three darts pileways, barbs in base, azure : on a chief of the last a boar's head couped or. Crest : An arm in armour, throwing a dart, all proper. Motto : Siir- sinii."

William Hutcheson and Captain Robert Hutcheson, believed to be the emigrant an- cestors of the line herein recorded, came lo Virginia in the thirties of the seventeenth century.

Robert Hutcheson seems at first to have confined himself to tl:e extreme eastern section of the state, but later both he and William gradually worked their way up toward the Northern Neck.
