During the Civil war, the student who
signed his name Mr. S. B. P. Knox, from Brownsville, Penn., entered the University of Pennsylvania in
1861-1862 / 1862-1863 and went on to become a full surgeon in the
Pennsylvania 49th Infantry (Regimental Volunteers) from April, 1864, to July 15th, 1865 during the
Civil

After the War, Dr. Knox, for some reason,
re-entered the Univ. of Pennsylvania, again as a medical student, in Oct.
