- FORSTER, GERALD JOSEPH.
"Better be joined with the fruitful vine
Than sadden after none, or bitter fruit."
The hero of this little tale was born in 1886. His education was begun in the public schools of his native town and then deciding there was nothing further " dnin," there, he continued his studies at St. Michael's College from which he graduated in 1905. He entered Medicine with the class of 1909 but remained with it only one year, taking a year off and came back with 1910. During his course he has played each year on the Med's Rugby Team in the Mulock Series and also on the Varsity Junior Canadian Championship Team in 1908. In his third year he was secretary of the Medical Athletic Association. He is an enthusiastic member of "The Knights of The "Round Table."
