Thursday. September 20, 1931 “THE PAST IS PROLOGUE’ DR. GEORGE COPELAND ALBRIGHT 1870-1921 By DR. N. W. MACAULAY, In Sooth Carolina Dental Jonrnal THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Paue Sevea —— A meeting was held at Academy We have had some very out- to know something of {be men whoj Street school two weeks ago to Newly Organized Midget Football League Opens standing men in the Association who would never allow tneir names to be presented as officers but were most active and devoted members. Such a man was George Copeland Albright, D. D. S.,1870- 1921. . Dr. Albright was born at Clin ton, September 6, 1870 and died at I^aurens, March 11, 1921. He at tended what is now Presbyterian College of South Carolina, and graduated in dentistry from Van derbilt University March 26, 1896. While at Vanderbilt, he was awarded the Morgan Medal which godl to the most skilled senior stu dent of the school. A few years ago when the son of Dean Morgan, Dr. Walter Morgan, of Nashville, was visiting South, Carolina, we talked at length about Doctor Al bright’s record at the University and he remarked that Doctor Al bright, according to Dr. Morgan’s father, was the most skilled stu dent ever to attend Vanderbilt, cer tainly during his long period of teaching there. Sometime ago I observed a fifty year foil inserted by the doctor before the turn of the century which adds credence to Doctor Morgan’s statement. Doctor Albright lived before my time and it was not my privilege to know him. However, 1 have learned much about him from his contemporaries and know that he was not only skilled as a dentist but also a scholarly man who read Dickens and Scot^ and by com parison with some of the lovable men of your time and mine would sum him up having the scholarly attainments of the late David Aik en, the skill of the late Virgil Hawkins and the modesty of the late Johnny Pike. One of the most touching trib utes I have ever read is the obitu ary on the passing of Doctor Al bright written by Doctor T. L. Timmerman of Laurens. Never have I read one that rang so true and often I read it over and over. It is a masterpiece and no one could have written it of an un worthy person nor could Tun have expressed his deep feelings better A modest man. who sought neither praise nor credit for what he did; his good works live after him. „ A little glimpse into the past and made the Association; the paths form a Midget football league, they trod is good for us.

Some of us today have the feeling we know more dentistry than the people will pay us for; be this true or else, the fact remains that these men of for mer generations were self-educated ^ largely and the English they useeH-y, would put most of us to shame to- - day.
