Nuchols, vice-president; J. R. Thomas, secretary and treasurer; T. O. McCollie, corresponding secretary; N. C. Ellis, sergeant-at-arms. They did not reorganize till they got into the new college, where an elegant hall has been furnished them by the faculty. The boys organized with a good number of members, and the society begins the second year of its existence with auspicious prospects for the future. The Students Tennessee Medical College society was organized by the first class of the Tennessee Medical College for, as all other college societies are, the mutual improvement of its members.
