and Africa for the medical profession. Charles W. T. Smith from Bermuda graduated in
1872. The first Caribbean student to graduate was Eliezer Clark from Barbados, who
finished in the Class of 1874. Thomas D. Campbell from Liberia graduated in 1890.'
[My research shows that Arthur Theophilus COOPER of Jamaica graduated in 1890
with the degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery; I still hope, and even expect, to find a
Jamaican graduate before that date. The first Jamaican to graduate as a Doctor of
Medicine was apparently Tomlin Augustus CAMPBELL in 1901; he had previously
graduated as a dental surgeon in 1897]
. . . and before that!
In 1887 Henry H Kell[e]y, who was born in Kingston, Jamaica, in
1854, graduated from the Pharmaceutical College, where he studied from
1885 to 1887, as a Phar. D. He was then employed by the Pullman Palace
Car Co.; he was married and living at 1213 Sixteenth street, N.W.,
Washington, D.C.
