BANKER-DOCTOR AT THE FRONT Berkeley Sherwood-Dunn of New York has gone to Europe as the head of a French hospital unit on the firing fir-ing line, and if anything should happen hap-pen to this banker and doctor the United States would mourn the loss of a man who has been for years active in public movements. It is not surprising that he is giving his services to France, for in that country coun-try he was educated, first practiced medicine and became a leader in public welfare matters. Doctor Sherwood-Dunn was born In Jlushford, N. Y., and after studying in the New York university took his degrees at the University of France, began practicing In Paris and was married there to an American girl. He was a member of a committee that revised the laws governing the admission ad-mission of foreign students to the university, uni-versity, and prevented the threatened exclusion of Americans. Later he . was one of the founders and directors of the Society for the Prevention .01 Unielty to Animals in. Paris. Some time after he returned to this country a group of bankers invited him to join with them in organizing the Century Trust company, and he became its secretary. As a result he became generally interested in the banking business, and in 1907-8 he was the president of the European-American bank. He sold his interest in it in 1908 and removed to South Carolina, where he was largely interested In the banking business. He is a member of the American Civic alliance, and during his residence In South Carolina he was the state chairman of the Progressive party there.
