University of Toronto Medical School: Constance Hobbs

Constance Hobbs: The 26-year-old pediatrician would spend the holidays with his fianc e Constance Hobbs and her family and enjoy or endure the hectic social and organizational whirl that goes with preparing for a wedding. Alan and Connie were to be married on Jan. 17, 1914, and to the prospective young bride, the holidays couldnt arrive quickly enough, according to The Star. At Jarvis Collegiate, Brown was an athlete and scholar. By 1909, he d graduated from the University of Toronto medical school with the silver medal. The following year he interned at the Hospital for Sick Children, and the courting couple would sometimes take the ferry to the Toronto islands and canoe through the lagoons, even though Connie didnt much care for boats or water and In December of 1913, Dr. Alan Brown sailed home to Toronto from his post-graduate work at the Childrens Hospital of Berlin University for a Christmas to remember. Connie had been barely 16 when she met the handsome young man who was working on a southern Ontario farm. He was fetchingly fit and bright and she fell in love the moment she set eyes on him.
