DR. CRAWFORD W. LONG HONORED
AS DISCOVERER OF ANASTHESIA
STATUE UNVEILED
l
IN WASHINGTON
MANY NOTABLE SPEAKERS ON
PROGRAM FOR THIS AFTER
NCGON WHEN MONORS WILL BE
PAID.
WASHINGTON, March 20—(P)—
Georgia and the nation today honor
ed Crawford William Long, discov--
erer of anasthesia with the unveil
ing of his statue in Statuary Hall at
the capitol. The occasion was the
eighty-fourth anniversary of the dis
covery of ansthesia. The unveiling
was scheduled for three o’clock this
afternoon. .
Many speakers on Program
WASHINGTON, March 30—(AP)—
Arriving as a late guest, the marble
likeness of Dr. Crawford W. Long
has been alloted an obscure niche in
the National Hall of Fame as the
State of Georzia’s first representa--
tive. The state of the Georgia phy
sician, who is being honored as the
discovered of anasthesia, was placed
upon its base teday, preparatory to
the unveiling ceremonjes Tuesday
afternoon.
Because of the crowded condition
of the hall with its two representa
tives from nearly every other state
in the Union, architects of the Capi
tol building were unable to give Dr.
Lone’s statute a place in the outer
circle. The only remaining opening
available without a rearrangemend?
of positions lay to the side, almost
hidden from view, where the Geor
pia representative has taken up a
slight watch.
Only a part of the profile of the
distinguished Georgian can be seen
from the position where Robert Ful
ton, with an air of infinite leisure
toys day after day with his marble
steamboat. Neither is the Long,
statute in the line of vision of the
military bearing of General Roberts
E. Lee, who stands beside the bronzcl
figure of George Washington as the
State of Virginia’s two countrymcn.!
It is probable however, that theg
Long memorial will receive a morci
conspicuous place when it is joined
by the other representative from
Georgia, Alexander L. Stephens, vice
president of the Confederacy and 2
roommate of Dr. Long while they at
tended the University of Georgia.
Funds for constructing the Ste
phens statute are now being raised
in Georgia, the Legislature having
already approved his name for the
second entry. Frank K. Bolandfi of
Atlanta, is president of the Long
Memorial Association.
The ceremnnies attendant upon the
unveiling are suite elaborate. The
first address will be by Joseph Ja-|
cobg, of Atlanta, friend and former
employe of Dr, Long. Next will be'
the unveiling by the daughters of
Dr. Long, Mrs. Frances Long Tay--
lor and Miss Emma Long. l
The statue will be presented to
the State of Georgia by Judge Rich
ard B. Russell of Georgia Supreme
court. Attorney General George M.,
Napier representing Governor Clif—-;
ford Walker, of Georgia, will then|
present the statue with an address tof
be delivered by Senator W. J. Har-!
ris. l
