For more than a quarter of a century—the best years of his professional career—Clarence Arthur McWilliams served the Presbyterian Hospital with untiring sacrifice of time and energy. Only twice before his retirement from its surgical staff in 1921 was this service interrupted by long absence—in 1915, when for some months he was in charge of a base hospital at Passy, and in 1917, when he was one of the first to volunteer on his own country’s entry into the war. His service behind the Western Front in both base and evacuation hospitals was of the highest value.
