     Among the well known and capable representatives of the medical 
profession in Portland is numbered Dr. Elmer E. Anderson, a native of South 
Dakota, born in 1890. His father, John A. Anderson, came to Portland in 1901 
with his family of five sons and two daughters. Mildred L. Anderson, sister of 
Dr. Anderson of this review, attended the University of California for two 
years and is now preparing for a career at the bar as a law student in the 
Northwest College of Law, which she entered in 1926.

     Elmer E. Anderson began his education in the schools of South Dakota and 
after coming to this state matriculated in the University of Oregon, from 
which he was graduated in 1914 on the completion of a course in medicine. He 
served as interne in the General Hospital of Bridgeport, Connecticut, for one 
year and received further training for the work of his chosen profession as a 
student in the New York Academy of Medicine, which he visited for six months. 
He began practice in Portland in 1916 and in the following year entered upon a 
period of military service covering eighteen months, being stationed at Camp 
Kearny, California, in the medical department, and later at Camp Devens near 
Boston. In 1919 he joined two of his brothers in the practice of medicine in 
Portland, where he has remained continuously to the present time and is 
accorded a patronage which is steadily growing in volume and importance. Well 
merited success has rewarded his professional labors, for with the passing 
years he has fully demonstrated his ability to cope with the intricate 
problems which continually confront the physician in his efforts to restore 
health and prolong life. Dr. Anderson is on the visiting staff of St. 
Vincent's Hospital and the Portland Sanitarium and has membership in the City 
and County Medical Society. He also belongs to the Multnomah Club and 
fraternally is affiliated with the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks.
