(By Winifred Biethan)
For 50 years Medic classes were
called with a hand bell. "Doc" Na-
gele rang the bell. Janitor of the
Medical building, formerly an uned-
ucated German boy, rough, but kind-
ly, "Doc" Nagele was a friend of the
department and the students.
Every hour of every morning"during
the University sessions from 1850 to
1900 found this man in front of the.
old Medical building, where it stood
north of the place occupied by the
present structure, ringing out the old.
class and in the new with a common
dinner bell.
A favorite pastime of the students
was devising ways and means to de-
lay him, but "Doc's" bell was always
on time. Dr. Warren P. Lombard, pro-
fessor of physiology, said he used to
wait for that bell to ring to close his
lecture. Then when the bell stopped
ringing, he knew it was time to be-
gin the next lecture.
This precious time piece was once
stolen by the students. Dr. Victor C.
Vaughan told of this incident in the
following way: "Doc" Nagele's heart
was cearly broken after the bell dis-'
appeared, and the students all con-
tributed to get him another one. It
was never found, but two or three
years ago a man, now of international
reputation, entered my office with a
package under his arm.
"He. said, 'I have brought you a
present, Dr.*aughan. You can't guess
what it is.'
"'T can,' I answered. 'It is the hand
bell you stole 25 years -ago.'
I
"'Did you know who took it?'
'Of course I didn't, but I said
that I did, and added, knew he took
it and that :some day he would bring
it back.'"
The bell is now in Dr. Vaughan's
possession, and he says he is going
to put it on exhibition in a glass case
in the hall of the Medical building.
Old "Doc" Nagele was dismissed by
the Regents when the University pro-
cured the clock, but he was so broken
up about it that he appealed to the
dean. From then on as long as the
dinner bell did not ring, the profes-
sors of the Medical school did not
lecture. They went on a strike. Dr.
Vaughan went to the Regents, and he
said, "You do not need professors, you
do not need.a dean, but you need Na-
gele."
"But why do we need Nagele? He's
too feeble'to work."
"You need Nagele to ring the bell."
"We have a clock to announce the
hour."
"But Nagele must ring the bell or
the Medic classes won't meet," saia
Dr. Vaughan.
So the "old doctor" retained his posi-
sition until the spring of his death
in July, 1900.
He was for Michigan. All persons
on the 'campus were his friends, and
those who knew him still miss him.
