This was three years before the University had a medical department. When the medical department was established, Dr. Gunn was selected among numerous competitora for the chair of anatomy and surgery. In three years he was relieved of his work with anatomy. and during the remainder of his connection with the University which in all was fifteen years, he filled the chair of surgery. The first class in the University to which he lectured numbered 92; the last numbered 525. In 1861 Dr. Gunn went into the peninsular campaign, and saw much hard service. During a ehort absence from his post in the army, he gave some fifty lectures to studente in the University, which were just what they needed because many of them soon entered the army as surgeons.
