     DR. CALVIN S. WHITE, M. D., of Portland, who by the inherent force of his 
industry, determination and vitality has achieved noteworthy success in his 
profession, is one of the highly honored physicians of the Columbia River 
valley and is worthy of specific mention among others of the representative 
men of his locality. Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1868, Dr. White is 
a son of Joseph and Hannah (Dickey) White, who were married in Chester county, 
Pennsylvania, in 1866. The father, who was a carriage builder, died in 1894, 
and is survived by his widow. To them were born five children: Walter G., 
Calvin S., James, Letitia, and Mary, deceased.

     Dr. White attended the public schools of his native city and Franklin 
College. after which he matriculated in the medical department of the 
University of Pennsylvania, from which he was graduated with the degree of 
Doctor of Medicine in 1891.  In that same year he located in Tacoma, 
Washington, where he remained until 1894, when he went to Gervais, Oregon, 
where he practiced medicine until 1905, in which year he located in Portland, 
where he has been engaged in the general practice of medicine and surgery to 
the present time.

     Dr. White was married to Miss Gertrude Harding, a daughter of Mr. and 
Mrs. E. J. Harding. She is a native of this state and completed her education 
at St. Helen's Hall. Dr. and Mrs. White have four children: Mrs. Eloise 
Hutchinson, of Los Angeles, California; Lester, Eleanor and Calvin, Jr. The 
last named was lost on Mt. Hood about a year ago, but was finally found and 
brought back to life, after having been nearly frozen to death. He is an 
unusually brilliant student, as well as a talented cartoonist, and is 
president of the senior class of Washington high school. Dr. White is a member 
and president of the University Club, and belongs to the Portland Academy of 
Medicine, the Multnomah County Medical Society, the Oregon State Medical 
Society, and the American Medical Association. He is a member of the medical 
staff of St. Vincent's Hospital and was chief of Base Hospital at Camp Lewis 
during the World war.  He has long held distinctive prestige in a calling 
which requires for its basis intellectual discipline of a high order and rigid 
professional training and throughout the community he commands the confidence 
and respect of his fellowmen.
