Died. Dr. Frederick N. Bonine, 77, towering (6 ft. 4 in.) athlete who in 1885 did the 100-meter dash in 10.8 seconds-a record that stood for 15 years until broken by F. W. Jarvis; in Niles, Mich.

Twice the Board of Regents refused him a license, insisted that he take an examination in the whole field of medicine, like any young medical student (an impossibly tough obstacle for a specialist who left medical school 42 years ago). Last spring, moved by the pleas of top-flight neurologists, the Appellate Division called the Regents unreasonable, ordered them to give Dr. Marburg a license, under a statute which waives an examination for eminent doctors...
