And one of our own Honorary Vice Presidents, John Chandler White, Episcopal Bishop of Springfield, Illinois but recently called from, among us matched this utterance by denning tlie evil practice as "damnable in its effect on human' character." iMarrowing onr thesis to the demoralization of medical students, the late Dr.

Henry J. Bigelow, professor of surgery at Harvard Medical School and a member of the staff of the Massachusetts General Hospital, and world famous in his profession, had this to say, "Watch the students at a vivisection, it is the blood and suffering, not the science, that rivets their breathless attention. If hospital service makes- young students less tender of suffering, vivisection deadens their humanity and begets indifference to it." And now for some time vivisection propaganda has been infiltrating our public, parochial and private schools indeed the evil practice has begun and, in. fact, js increasing to an ominous degree. Certainly we are making an early start in implanting the fertile seeds of cruelly in the hearts of impressionable youth.

When they attain adult life the social consequences are certain to be tragic. Yet the fact remains that so many educators and parents, and so large a part of the general public as well, remain culpably indifferent to tliis alarming situation. Jn connection with our dedicated and uncompromising crusade to save animals from the cruelties of vivisection, we have continuously called attention to the hardening effect on tlie souls of those implicated in the practice. The revelations of the atrocities that arc committed in the vivisection laboratories of medical schools, hospitals and certain federal research establishments, cannot he questioned as they are unabashedly described by the men and women viviscctors in such medical publications as the American Journal of Physiology and the Journal of Neuropathology and Experimental Neurology, to name but two of many. Therein in revolting detail arc the accounts of how their hapless victims are mutilated, skinned, burned, beaten, starved, frozen, gassed, electrically shocked, and otherwise cruelly mistreated.

Those implicated in this evil practice cannot perform such experiments without metaphorically but indelibly staining their hands in the blood of their victims, hardening their hearts to much that is pood and beautiful in life, debauching their minds and irrevocably impairing their indwelling vision of divinity in man. While all of tliis is self-evident, let ns nevertheless, by way of emphasis, call to mind a representative few of the statements of a number of those who through the years saw these spiritual ravages and loudly sounded tocsin. In Shakespeare's "Cymbeline'' the Queen explains to Cornelius that she wants poison to experiment on "such creatures as wc count not worth the hanging, but none human." The latter replies, "Your Highness shall from this practice, hut make hard your heart." In an interesting comment on this passage Dr. Samuel Johnson declared, liThe thought would probably have been more amplified bad our author lived to be shocked with such experiments as have been published in later times A "return to college pro Southeastern Connecticut Water maintenance costs require more income and the rate increase.
