Dr. Hugh McGuire, a prominent Physician and Surgeon of Alexandria, Virginia, was born in Richmond, Virginia, May 26, 1871. He is a descendant of men who have been conspicuous in the medical affairs of Virginia, his grandfather, Dr. Hugh McGuire, of Winchester, having been a prominent physician, and his father, Dr. Hunter McGuire, of Richmond, Virginia, one of the best known Surgeons in this country.

Dr. McGuire obtained his early education in the private schools of Richmond. In 1887 he entered the Virginia Military Institute, from which institution he graduated in 1891.

In 1892 he matriculated at the University of Virginia, where he spent a year in the study of Medicine. He then went to Richmond, where he continued his medical studies, and in 1894 received the degree of Doctor of Medicine from the University College of Medicine of that city. He was a member of the first class graduated by this institution. Dr. McGuire remained in Richmond a year longer, devoting his time to hospital work, and in 1895 began the practice of his profession in Cumberland, Maryland. A year later he moved to Alexandria, Virginia, and became associated in practice with Dr. Bedford Brown, of that city. Drs. Brown and McGuire practiced together until Dr. Brown's death, two years later. Dr. McGuire continued the practice in Alexandria, and has built up a large work among its best people.

He is a member of several Medical Societies, among others the Alexandria Medical Society, the Medical Society of Virginia and the American Medical Association. He was formerly President of the Alumni Association of the University College of Medicine, and is now Secretary of the Alexandria Medical Society. In 1899 the Medical Society of Virginia awarded him one of the prizes for the best essay on "The History of Medicine and Surgery in Virginia."
