Muller, M.D., A.B., M.S., was born in Philadelphia on lune 29, 1877, the son of Philip R. and Frances CHughesD Muller. He received his early education in the public schools, finishing in the Central High School with the degree of A.B. in 1895. He immediately entered the Medical School of thei University of Pennsylvania, graduating there in l899. Prom 1899 to l9U2 he was an interne in the Lankenau Hospital. He then became a member of the department of Surgery in the University of Pennsyl- vania and a member of the surgical staff at the University Hospital. He ad- vanced to a Professorship in Clinical Surgery in the School of Medicine and to a Professorship in Surgery in the Graduate School. Prom both of these positions he resigned in l933 devoting his time to the Lankenau and the Misericordia Hospitals in both of which he holds a major position. George Muller is one of the leading surgeons of the United States. With natural ability he has had the best of training. As an interne at the Lankenau Hospital, he served under the late Dr. lohn B. Deaver and at the University Hospital he stood next in rank to the late lohn Rhea Barton Professor of Sur- gery, Dr. Charles H. Frazier. With the experience thus gained in his associa- tion with these two gifted exponents of Surgery, he made rapid progress in his surgical practice. He combines the highly developed manipulative skill of the first with the scientific methods and precision of the second. He has contributed many important articles to surgical literature and is much sought after by surgical groups, who are looking for an instructive and entertaining lecturer. ln a problem of any sort his mind quickly assembles items of information, digests them, puts them in order and then promptly draws a conclusion. Dr. Muller is a human dynamo, constantly active and alert, this enables him to accomplish a prodigious amount in every twenty-four hours. He is widely read, well informed and has excellent judg- ment. To show the estimation in which he is held by his fellows, one ned only mention that he has been President of the Philadelphia County Medical Society, President of the Colleg of Physicians' of Philadelphia and is now President of the American College of Surgeons.

The object of this address is naturally to impart certain information concerning the spirit and aims of the Iefferson Medical College and to offer good advice as to the best manner in which the student may conduct himself through the four years of medical schooling. In addition, the one delegated to make the address usually feels free to express his own philosophical views about the profession of medicine, its practitioners, and the relation they bear to the rest of the community. - I shall take the liberty of omitting, insofar as possible, the good advice. I am sure the young gentlemen have already had a surfeit of it, and further- more they have neither the desire nor the ability to accept it. Experience is the best teacher, and in fact is such a good teacher that all others are practically superfluous. lt is only bitter experience' which can soften the stubbornfiber of youth sufficiently for it to absorb good advice. Let us not repine that this is so, but let us rather be thankful that youth in this country still resists regimentation, and let us, as teachers, aim to provide for our students experience and yet more experience, after which one word can take the place of ten. To do so is no more than the plainest commonsense. Physicians some- times attend medical conventions, where mornings and afternoons, from nine to five-thirty, are filled with talks on varied subjects. To attend religiously on such a program is an ordeal for any man, and those who do so often find need for rest before the last word is said, and return to their homes in a state of semi- exhaustion, vowing that medical meetings certainly do tire you out, and you hear so much that you can't remember it, and have to read the articles after- ward anyhow . We should not, therefore, expect such miracles of attention and memory from the youthful and untried neophytes of medicine. lf l were the most brilliant teacher who ever lived, l 'could not teach one slightest thing to anyone unless he desired to learn it. lf, however, the desire to learn is strong, teaching is an easy task, whether the subject being taught is psychiatry or foot- ball. The student of football would soon lose interest if it were all skull-prac- tice , and he never had a chance to try his prowess on an actual gridiron. The elaborate plant of a medical school-its laboratories, animal rooms, museums, and hospital wards-can be regarded as the practice field for the medical student. On that field, gentlemen, you must become proficient. lt is no longer sufficient to learn a textbook or a set of lecture notes by heart. This is the very essence of the spirit of this medical school, as the Iefferson Hospital was the first hospital in the United States founded by a medical school and primarily for teaching purposes. This important event took place in l844. Instead of the omitted good advice, I hope that there will be some interest in a discussion, along these lines, of education in general, and of medical edu- cation in particular. At present everyone who enters the Iefferson Medical College is a graduate of a college or university, and therefore presumably al- ready an educated, cultured man. If we turn back the clock for, let us say, a hundred years, we see a very different situation. ln those days a college graduate in a medical school was the exception. Many of the students had had little formal education. On the other hand, most of them had already served apprenticeship under a medical practitioner, and had begun to have experience of the trials and problems of a physician. They had studied the names and dosages of herbs and other drugs, and had tried their hands at making tinctures, extracts, decoctions, and so forth, and mixing the results to- gether to make the complex and bitter combinations with which the patients of that day were freely dosed. They had jogged, behind or astride old Dobbin, along the roads in sunshine and rain, dust and mud, snow and ice. They had seen the beginnings and endings of lite, and known the agonies of pain and despair, not in the rarefied and sterilized atmosphere of a hospital, but in the habitations of men, whether it might be the hovel of the poor, or the mansion of the rich. They had known the anguish of ignorance, when there was a life to be saved, and for all these reasons they were thirsty for knowledge, and had no need of urging to drink it in. Medical education consisted of little but lec- tures and clinical demonstratons, but the students were expected to be self reliant, and no tears were shed over those who failed to pass the examinations. Since that time we have come a long way. Nowadays there is a great deal more to teach, and we have to teach it a great deal more thoroughly. We deal with students who have been subiected to a vast amount of education, and whose brains, when they come to us, are already teeming with knowledge of chemistry, physics, colloid phenomena, mathematics, botany, zoology, em- bryoloQY, Palaeontology, sociology, economics, and other divisions of modern learning too numerous to mention. ln short, the equipment of the present day medical matriculate would make his predecessor of a centry ago goggle-eyed with amazement and green with envy. ln the face of an evolutionary change as tremendous and radical as this, experience teaches one to inquire whether such extensive gains in one direc- tion may not be accompanied by some losses in another. Here the loss which appears most conspicuously is that of the quality ot self-reliance, which char- acterized the pioneer American so particularly, the medical student no less than any other. The loss is really the corollary of the gain. No such diversi- fied categories of learning could be explored except upon a strict and logical schedule, prepared, of course, not by the student himself but by his teachers. Thus gradually but continually the student has come to depend upon others, and moves calmly in his appointed ways, scarcely conscious of the fact that they are completely appointed for him by others, as the railroad towerman ap- points the way of a train through the 'maze of tracks in a freight-yard. There is no longer any medical apprenticeship, so the appointed ways continue into the professional school, and many a student keeps comfortably on, unmindful of the warning that a time will come when he will have to paddle his own canoe, make his own decisions, and stand or fall by his own efforts. Courses and examinations succeed one another like fences and telegraph poles passing by the window of a railroad car, and sad to say are sometimes remembered about as long. ln some melancholy cases, individuals graduate from medical schools without ever having developed either the spirit or the technique of self-reliance. Such people become interns who do nothing except what they are told to do, and who shun responsibility as they would the plague. What happens to them later? Some continue to the end of their days to dodge every opportunity to take a stand on anything, to be undecided, vacillating, ineffective. Others, when at length cut adrift from the last institutional support, finally see the light and belatedly begin to aquit themselves as men. Certainly self-reliance is a very manly quality. One can scarcely be manly unless he is self-reliant. lf we glance at the roll of illustrious names in American medicine, we fnid that in indispensible factor in the achievements of each one was self-reliance. No one told William Beaumont to perform his famous experiments upon Alexis St. Martin. ln the wild and primitive sur- roundings of Mackinac lsland, he had no well-equipped laboratory and no trained assistants, but had to rely on his own efforts to gather the materials and equipment for his experiments, and performed them with his own hands. In considering this glamorous episode, the student should not neglect to note the statement of Garrison that before carrying out his own work Beaumont began by carefully reviewing the work of his predecessors in a fair-minded spirit. The famous Daniel Drake was born in abject poverty, was reared in a log-cabin, and the story of his struggles to gain an education, self-aided and single handed ,... is a fine example of what honest ability can accomplish if persistent. tGarrisonl When Ephraim McDowell operated upon Mrs. Crawford to remove her ovarian tumor, he relied entirely upon his own judgment and skill, as no one had ever performed such an operation before. George B. McClellan, the founder of jefferson Medical College, was a very self-reliant man. When it was necessary to seek a charter from the legislature at Harrisburg, he entrusted the task to no one else but went himself in a horse- drawn chaise, wearing out several horses on the journey and returning with the charter in an amazing short time. Among the graduates of this college are numerous shining examples of self-reliance. Daniel Brainerd went to Chicago and organized the Bush Medi- cal College. Iames Marion Sims, while practicing in Alabama, made such original and important contributions to surgery that he gained probably the greatest and most wide-spread international reputation ever had by any surg- eon. Samuel D. Gross left the locality where he was reared and where he had received his education to go to Kentucky, but in that far-away and strange com- munity he proved his self-reliance so Well that he was invited to return to lef- ferson, where he became the foremost surgeon in the country in his day. lnnumerable other examples could be adduced, but if there is anyone in this audience who is not convinced of the value of self-reliance, l doubt whether l could convince him by lengthening my list of distinguished names. I assume that the great majority would consider self-reliance a desirable quality, and would agree with me that it is most important to consider how its development among medical students may be encouraged. There is just one important principle underlying the process of encouraging the development of a quality like self-reliance. Such qualities grow as a result of exercise. Responsibility increases as a result of the successful assumption of responsibility. Self-reliance increases as a result of being successfully self- reliant. It is not a momentary quality. To be successfully self-reliant, one must intelligently, consistently and energetically accumulate the knowledge and the skills which enable one to be self-reliant when the time comes. Crammed' learning, acquired hastily before an examination and even more quickly for- gotten after the examination is passed can never help a man to be self-reliant. lf one, through indifference or laziness or for any other reason, lacks the means for self-reliance, his efforts to be self-reliant will result either in a bumptious self-assurance, or in an agonized self-abasement, and whichever it is, the effort Will be a tragic failure. Let us imagine a novice starting out to sail a boat. No matter how cour- ageous and determined he may be, or how earnestly he may try to conceal his ignorance, the confused movements of the rudder and the flapping unfilled sails will soon give the situation away, and during the run down the wind, if the breeze is fresh, the unexpected jibe will not only give the young skipper a painful surprise but quite likely a ducking as well. lf l wish to be self-reliant in a sailboat, l must learn to sail in all kinds of weather, and if you wish to be self-reliant at the bedside of a sick patient, you rnust know a great deal about medicine-that is to say, about anatomy, and physiology, and pathology, and physical diagnosis, and nosology, and therapeutics. All this just to avoid seeming stupid, and much more if you want to be a really wise physician. Keeping these principles in mind, it seems certain that self-reliance will best be furthered by frequently repeated opportunities, at first small but progres- sively increasing in scope, to be self-reliant. Such opportunities cannot be provided on lecture room benches, but come in the laboratories, dispensaries and wards, and l am pleased indeed to say that they are to be materially in- creased during the coming year for the members of the fourth year class. l am sure that l speak for the other members of the faculty when l say that we earn- estly hope that you wil meet us halfway in our efforts to assist you to be self- reliant, competent physicians. We trust that you will not erroneously believe that we want you to put forward your own unsupported opinions in the guise of self-reliance. Such opinions may be interesting, but are seldom valuable. lf your personal opinion is to be put forward, let it be supported and buttressed by knowledge of the underlying factors and of the opinions of competent ob- servers. You may then confidently expect to hold your opinion against all comers. ln practicing this sort of thing, you will before long discover that you are developing a power of discrimination as to which opinions, either in the ltierature or among your daily associates, are competent. The development of this art of discrimination is necessary to obtain full benefit of your hours in the reading chair. With its aid you will know how to pass over the huge masses of trivial, unimportant, and even inaccurate medical literature. As the student advances through his medical course he will find that he is becoming accustomed to this business of standing on his own feet. He dis- covers that the passage learned from the textbook is not to be repeated ver- batim to the teacher, but rather the truth contained in it is to be used in the severe mental discipline of examining a patient thoroughly and making a diagnosis. Such a discipline may seem hard and even cruel to those who are unaccustomed to it. lt is, however something that must be learned, and the effort of so doing is amply repaid by the hot thrill of satisfaction which comes with the first realization that at last the hands and brain are co-ordinating and functioning as the hands and brain of a physician must. When this happens, clinics and rounds are no longer an ordeal, but rather exciting episodes where- in the teacher is no longer a threatening ogre, but oi helpful friend, as proud of the student's achievements as the mother bird is of the fledgling she has just taught to fly. There are many other things besides self-reliance which are extremely im- portant for a physician. I would not wish to suggest that it is the most import- ant quality of all, but I think it comes near being so. However, it cannot alone make the ideal physician, but must be mingled with many others, such as in- dustry, thoroughness, patience, honesty, charity. There is no laboratory pro- cedure that can take the place of these-they must be brought up out of the deeps of one's own nature. A little time may well be spent reading and think- ing on such matters. If Sir Thomas Brown and the Religio Medici are too hard going, Osler's Aequanimitas will give much instruction and much pleasant- tasting but piquant food for thought. At this point I will close before I have exhausted your patience and while I still have your courteous attention. To the entering class I extend a warm welcome, and the hope that your sojourn in the halls of this medical college may be both successful and pleasant, that you will take everything good that we of the faculty may be able to offer you, that you will retain your individu- alities and learn to paddle your own canoe, and that when you finish, your parents and relatives and teachers may be proud of you. DAVID M. DAVIS, M.D. AUTCDGRAPHS MR. lOSEPH WILSON Librarian of the College Man l-lunt Ends in College Library Arnerica's first great actor, George Frederick Cooke, lost his head on many a ternpestous occasion during his life. When he lost his head after death a sensation Was created. Who Was the responsible culprit? For over a century the answer was unknown. lust Within the last ten years the crime was solved right here at Ieff. The tragedian's skull after all its Wandering rested quietly right in our own library. How it came there is just one of the interesting tales our Mr. Wilson zealously guards for us. lt was in l9l7 that larnes Ioseph Wilson shook off the dust of the Philadel- phia Free Library and came to Iefferson to be chief librarian. For almost a quarter of a century he has served Well. Librarian is but one of his capacities. He is friend and confidant alike of affluent trustee, benighted freshman, harried professor, and busy secretary. He is never too occupied to sally forth from his cubicle to aid one in the search for 81 some ponderous volume. Each year he gains in the esteem and respect of all Ieffersonians. One of his particular joys is the care of the priceless relics rubbing should- ers on the Walls, spread out on the shelves, or enschoneced in the libraries' glass cases. A few resolute students in their quest for knowledge may have stumbled on the display pictured below. The skull in the upper left is that Which caused such a furor so many years ago. lt's possession even threatened the career of young Dr. lohn W. Francis who attended Cooke in his last illness. In 1811 Cooke had reached the height of a long and successful stage career in England and this country. He was the idol of American theater goers. His Shakesperian performances were those of a genius. His interpretation of Richard HI has probably never been equaled. A weakness for the spirits, how- ever, led to his undoing. He died in 1812 with a greatly enlarged liver and greatly diminished bank account. Perhaps it appeared to Dr. Francis that he was destined for a pauper's grave. In any event the young doctor's zeal to study the brain of a genius overcame whatever qualms of conscience he may have had. He made off with the head, probably intending to replace it. Much to the dismay of the doctor, the news of the actor's death spread far and wide, the entire city, even Gov. Clinton turned out for the final rites of the popular actor. So great was the public indignation when the loss of the head was discovered that Dr. Fran- cis during his long career told only a few of his most intimate friends about the skull. His son, Dr. Valentine Mott Francis inherited it in 1861, and presented it in 1885 to Dr. George McClellan, grandson of the founder of lefferson. Dr. Mc- Clellan willed it to his intimate friend, our own late Dean Patterson, who re- ceived it in 1930. This taciturn gentleman refused to part with the skull despite the pleas of many actor associates. 1-le did tell its story to the numerous theatri- cal organizations which promptly published the tale in their journals. This settled once and for all the mysterious question, VV'ho stole Cooke's Head? Among other interesting articles in the case is a group of surgical instru- ments in the center. They were found in l9l4 during excavations made in Herculaneum. The city was buried in lava during the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A.D. So the instruments are more than eighteen centuries old. The walking cane belonged to one of our great Da Costas, Iacob Mendes, who graduated from Iefferson in 1852 and was professor of Medicine from 1872 to l890. According to Dr. W. W. Keen, Philadelphia clinics were about as in- ane and useless as one could imagine until Da Costa took hold of them. His classical Medical Diagnosis appeared in nine editions during his life time and was translated into a number of foreign languages. With Dr. S. D. Gross he founded the Philadelphia Pathological Society in 1852. The Key instrument of Key of Garengeot for extracting teeth was used by Dr. I. W. Hugh, Ieff. '51, cmd was presented by his son Dr. 1. Torrence Rugh. 82 From the time of Celsus down to the early part of the 18th century, the extract- ing of teeth was accomplished with very crude instruments and these key-in- struments, devised about l828 Were extremely popular until the late '6U's When extracting forceps replaced all other instruments. Every medical student has read or heard how Laennec accidentally dis- covered the principle of the stethescope in the early 18 hundreds, no doubt at the same time Cooke was at the height of his fame as an actor. Dr. Bland and Dr. Hugh gave the library the two old models seen in the photographs. The Worn down little knife performed dozens of operations directed by the skillful fingers of the great S. W. Gross. He used it for over forty lateral lith- otomies alone. At the opposite end of the library are some of the rarest and oldest medical publications in existence. They are Well Worth perusal. Certainly We have a librarian and a library of Which We can truly be proud. 83 The Spirit of Medicine IRVIN ABELL, M. D. Louisville, Kentucky. I would indeed be ungracious did I not begin by expressing my deep ap- preciation of the honor done me in bestowing upon me the privilege of deliver- ing the William Potter Memorial Lecture. It would perhaps have been easier to prepare an address on some scientific topic, but you hear these daily from lips more able than mine. Since in some schools the applicant for admission to the Freshman Class must submit a short thesis upon the reasons prompting him or her to study medicine, I thought that after a lifetime spent in the pro- fession a discussion on my part of some of the tangibles and intangibles that contribute to the spirit of medicine might not be entirely devoid of interest. Medicine today is probably the most liberal of all the professions of society. It recognizes addition to its knowledge from any source and the pres- ent edifice of scientific medicine has been reared upon the labor and contri- butions of innumerable physicians, scientists and lay people, regardless of race, color or creed. Medicine is the most international of sciences and there- fore least nationalistic. It comprises a democracy of intelligence, knowing neither geographic nor racial bounds. Medicine has no bench or bar: the lawyer must pay deference to the judge, who intellectually may be his infer- ior: neither has medicine a hierarchy as in the case of the ecclesiastical, pro- fession. ln medicine all men are alike, there are no castes, no orders, no class distinctions. Its devotees meet on common ground in practice, in research, in hospitals, in schools and in conventions, where eager minds come together for mutual improvement and understanding. The advances resulting therefrom during the last two or three decades have given to most of mankind increasing years of life expectancy, freedom from pain, greater assurance of control of some of the most dreaded diseases, constant improvement of hospital facilities, and an ever-mounting number of discoveries and improvements in methods of diagnosis and treatment. Since the objective of medicine is the welfare of man, it is but natural that the public has shown sustained and abiding interest and co-operation in all that pertains to the attainment of this aim. Medical science has done much to make possible the state of society as it exists today, no longer need the people of these United States live in fear of yellow fever, Asiatic cholera, smallpox, bubonic plague, typhus fever, and other diseases which at times spread with wicked and disastrous epidemic proportions, striking terror in the hearts of our forefathers. These plagues no longer decimate our population: the toll of infectious and communicable diseases has been stayedp typhoid fever is all but a thing of the past: infant and child mortality have been curtailed, and tuberculosis, formerly known as the Captain of the Men of Death, has been made to give ground until the mortality from it now is but one-fourth that at the beginning of the century. There has been a reduction of 50 per cent in the total mortality and in increase of nearly lOO per cent in longevity-a truly remarkable social phenomenon. These results have been accomplished through the continuous and persistent 84 efforts of a vast army of health-1,500,000 strong in the United States and Can- ada-doctors, nurses, dentists, health workers, research workers, technicians and interested lay people constituting a great army fighting disease night and day, year in and year out, winning battle after battle and ever pushing back further and further the grim reaper-death. Medical science, which constitutes the ammunition of this health army, has by no means developed solely through the efforts of professional workers, not a few of its developments having resulted from the work of laymen. Throughout the years men and women, untutored perhaps in the technicalities of medical science but wise in the appreciation of its possibilities, have con- tributed much to the advancement of medicine through their interest and their financial support, joining hands with the men and women of science in their constant, courageous striving for better methods and better results. From the earliest days of this country public support of institutions for research purposes and for healing the sick has been generous. The larger foundations may hold the center of the stage because of the scope of their activities, but every medi- cal school and every hospital is converting the public interest manifested in endowments and contributions, into the material of which progress in medical science exists. lt is a matter of difficulty, if the task be not wholly impossible, for the in- dividual worker in any field of medical practice correctly to evaluate the mul- titudinous changes which are constantly occurring in this field of human en- deavor. lt is but a comparatively short time since didactic instruction com- passed the training for a career in medicine and the armamentarium of the doctor consisted of a thermometer, a stethoscope, an obstetrical bag and a few instruments. The increase in medical knowledge during the present century has been so vast and the changes in social, economic and scientific aspects of modern civilization have progressed so rapidly as to demand a complete re orientation for an appreciation of their significance and implications. While the physician remains an individualist so far as the application of curative medicine is concerned, he cannot remain oblivious to other important elements in our social fabric since the problems of illness which he solves for the indi- vidual have an interest for the communty as a whole, particularly in their pre- ventive and social aspects. This changed conception of professional obliga- tion has brought to the fore many problems, the solution of which is not yet in sight, but which demand our earnest consideration and study. Having been reared professionally in the waning shadow of one school of thought, that founded on clinical observation alone, and in this golden age seeing the beautiful fruition of that built on accurate scientific knowledge, l can but pay in an inadequate manner a feeble tribute to the votaries of science in bringing about this transformation and increasing the sum total of human knowledge. This accreton has followed three pathways, first the anatomical, second the pathological, and today the physiological and biochemical. The most significant trend of surgery has been the attempt to control, amelioriate, abort and prevent those conditions which are known or suspected to be deb pendnt on disturbed physiological processes. This is notably true in the sur- gery of the sympathetic nervous system with the control of vasomotor spasm, the surgery of peptic ulcer, in the surgical treatment of conditions dependent on abnormal activity of the ductless glands and in the collapse therapy of pulmonary tuberculosis. Many factors for the safety of surgical patients have Continued on Page 258 85 EDITCDRIAL STAFF Iczmes I. O'Lec:rry, Ir., Editor-in-Chief ASSOCIATE EDITORS ' IOSEPH A. HINDLE I.

Will Allison THE CLINIC History of the Class of l940 Let everyone be occupied, and occupied in the highest employment of which his mind is capable, and die with the consciousness he has done his best. -Sidney Smith CMemoirs by Lady Holland? Sitting with his gaze steadily fixed on the crystal ball before him-Medi- tating on those medical school days-Trying to call back pictures of those three and a half preceding years-suddenly--the clouds which had hitherto con- cealed the ball are driven away and scattered, and the pictures unfolding be- fore him are active duplications of the memories indelibly printed on his mind. Although actual elapsed time from the Fall of l936 to the Spring of l940 has been only a matter of a little more than three years, so many various and sundry things have taken place that one's college days seem a matter of ancient history. But in scanning these events in retrospect most of us realize the time was all too short. Realizing that the first years of man must make provision for the last and chilled by the remark of the late Dean Ross V. Patterson that quite a few men would graduate by the back entrance , each one of the one hundred and thirty-five aspirants for a Medical Degree wondered if he could possibly be among such early graduates. The members of the Class of '40 first assembled on the evening of the intro- ductory address by Dr. Shallow, practically every one with a head of hair of which only a few can now boast. From this evening until early May, 1937, each man was in search of fifteen or so classmates whom he could sort'a con- sider a little worse off than himself. Our frame of mind can be attributed to little talks, formal and informal, given by everyone from the learned Sopho- mores to the elevator man. After our warm reception by the various fraternity men, we were introduced to our new A, B, C's by Dr. Schaeffer's lecture on the History of Anatomyg we agreed that one should know the struggles of his fore- bears to appreciate the study of any subject, but soon the lectures dealt with specific subjects and we struggled more and more in our attempts to get up to date . One glance at an Anatomy book will bring back the long pointing finger pushed toward you, or smiling, red-faced Dr. Michaels with the chalk marked gown yelling Pits, pits, pits . ln the Department of Bacteriology we became very well acquanted with the acknowledged friend of the Freshmen, Dr. Rosenberger. Don't ask me how, but despite his informal, easy, instrucive lectures, Rosy still retained a mental record of each man's personal history. Dr. Kreidler, Rosy's able co- worker, won the admiration of the class by his patience, stories, and thorough knowledge of his subject. Dr. Radasch, Professor of Histology and Embryology, lived up to previous predictions by his fact-filled lectures delivered with machine-gun rapidity. Al- though quite a few of us did cloze in the darkened room, we all learned to love and admire Had and his willing and able assistant, Dr. Ramsey, as teachers and students of their subjectp Dr. Bamsey's excellent presentations of compli- cated phases kept us all awake. THE CLINIC ln the Chemistry Department we were not only well prepared in the sub- ject, but offered knowledge in all scientific fields. The l-lead of the Depart- ment, Dr. Uncle George Bancroft, was admired for his conscientious and able presentations on chemical subjects, and on other topics which we have since learned to appreciate. Dr. Hansen, a very capable chemist, Willing teacher, and possessor of a characteristic accent, and Mr. Williams, an able chemist of snapping finger fame, will also be remembered by the class. The Fall of l936 also marked the establishment of the Medical B.O.T.C'. unit at lefferson with Lt. Col. Corby, an admired, competent man, as Professor. ln the four years which he has been associated with lefferson, he has become a part of the institution and a friend, not only to the army boys , but to the entire school-faculty and students. After two weeks of what is known as Hell Week , not a misnomer, the bustle and turmoil of which is best inscribed on the minds of those who have passed through it, and their associates, during which praying and Church at- tendance increased, everyone scooted home to await the fearful news. The memories of the guidance of Drs. Schaeffer, Rosenberger, Badasch, Bancroft, and Corby into our chosen profession clung close by us, as always, and we realized , with Tennyson-- So many worlds, so much to do, So little done, such things to be. Our estimation of the late Dean Patterson's prophetic ability was raised quite a few notches when we returned in the Fall of l937 to find a class mor- tality of about 1427, a class dwindled to ll5g some of us were surprised either by returning ourselves, or by seeing others stilll with us. After a very delight- ful opening address delivered by Dr. George Bancroft, we now assumed the role of gentlemen and were treated as such-quite a transformation from a rat to a gentleman CPD in one year, don't you think? lnstead of receiving, we were now able to disperse pearls of wsidom to the incoming class. - This second year of Medicine at Jefferson was commonly spoken of as the three Ps-Physiology, Pharmacology, and Pathology, must have been a mis- take somewhere? VVhy the entire first semester was spent at D.B.l. with the inimatable lake , or with Neuro-Anatomy in the library, or otherwise. We were told all these facts were the fundamentals of the nervous systemeit would scare a genius. Dr. Lipshutz guided us through the maze in the laboratory and we all admired him for his knowledge and were thankful for his help, but it still remains a very complex subject to a few of us you can be sure, even though lake, Barney, and Dinty did clear it up for us in the last few days. fSee the Seniorsl. Dr. Moon proved himself a gentleman, teacher, story teller, and shocker , and we are sure he has something there , the fundamentals of which we hope lo have carried away with us. We shall remember Dr. Lieber as a qualified pathologist, story-teller, and a quiet, non-assuming personality, and Dr. Stewart as another capable man famous for his several schools of thought. Across the hall we found Dr. Davey Morgan, brilliant man, beloved teacher, and true friend of us ally he was cwith us and we with him to produce the manyt memories of this second year. We were intruduced into the fields of Physiology by an outstanding physi- ologist, dependent story teller, and supporter of the Administration, Dr. Thomas, THE CLINIC 94 his lectures were well presented and systematized, and easily grasped by the students. He was ably assisted by Dr. Crider, whose shining personality helped us in our many set-ups. The ambidextrous Dr. Tuttle ithere's one on every facultyi was not only a one ring circus, but a very important member of the department and presentator of the intricacies of the subject. In ah- Pharmacology-er-ah- we met another speed demon, and, well, we followed him as best We could. Dr. Gruber knows a lot of pharmacology and he certainly did his best by means of lecture, heart to heart talks, and demon- stration to teach us a greater portion of it. A goodly number of us were petri- fied and worn down by his questions, but with the aid of his very able assist- ant, Dr. l-laury, we finally pulled through. We shall never forget those Satur- day and Sunday afternoons when we pasted, typed, drew, and otherwise tried to get up to date with out notebooks for the three P's. After a long, hard week, the anaesthesia wielded by the late Dr. Freddy Kalteyer was certainly appreciated. His referred pain clinics were certainly an impetus for the study of Neuro and showed us reasons for it all. We are indebted to Drs. Server and Fry for our well organized and presented lectures on the basic principles of Surgery. Both of these young surgeons were well- liked by the class and had the subject matter well in hand. Two years had gone by! It was May all too soon. Finals! l Whether this year had been any easier than the last we were unable to say, but, at any rate, it was an immeasurable relief from the bustle oi the Freshman Classes. We were beginning to look like medical men-increasing vocabularies, per- cussion hammers, stethoscopes. This Medicine wasn't so very tough after all, that is the mental picture of flunking out had been more, or less been erased fro mour minds by hard work. We now awaited the Third Year, believing- Do not think that what is hard for thee to master is impossible for man, but if a thnig is possible and proper to man, deem it attainable by thee. -Marcus Aurelius With the opening of school for a third term all the embryo physicians re- turned from perhaps their last vacation. Some of the army boys had spent six weeks at Carlisle, Pa., during the Summer and everyone seemed to ba physically fitg one glance at our new schedule-complicated and full-served as a warning that one had better be fit. We must not enter this third year without the expressing the sadness that lefferson men experienced with the passing of that physician, executive, and organizer of lefferson Medical College, Dr. Doss V. Patterson. Much could be written in tribute to Dean Patterson who for half his life was associated with lefferson, but suffice it to be said in the words of Dr. Thomas Shallow- Dr. Pat- terson was lefferson and his unswerving devotion to her will always be an inspiration for those who follow him. Philadelphia was more, or less completely toured each week - P.G.H., Municipal, Pennsylvania, Lying-ln, D.B.l.-fnally rushing back to old Ieff tired in body, but alive in spirit, each day's work combined With a night shift spent in trying to bring lecture notes up to dateg we will always be haunted by these memories. Of course, once in a while we gained relaxation by spending an evening at a show, or something, supporting the old adage that- INIC H, E yy L cc 95 Men's natures wrangle with inferior things Though great ones are their object. -Shakespeare Many glamorous memories will always be with us-Dr. Sokoloff, the big chest man, ribbing us at Pine Street-Dr. Moon, as shocking as ever, adding to our store of Pathologic knowledge- Rosy placing the eight Son's of the South under his wing, still calling us by name, and leading us into the pleasant field of Hygiene-Medicine as an Art through Dr. Beardsley and his O'Shea family-Puffing and walking Dr. Bonney and Applied Anatomy--Dr. Knowles and liquor carbonis detergens-Breast feeding and no castor oil with Drs. Bauer and MacNeill-Wolf's Law supported by Dr. Bugh-Convincing Dr. Ulrich, smooth Dr. Vaux, and sturdy Dr. Montgomery, leading us into the intricacies as to Why heroes are not made-well, nearly everyone on the faculty worked with or on us. We shall always be thankful to Dr. Sheffey for getting us by Dr. Anspach's questions-a good coach, l'd say. Dr. Lyon nearly passed the tube on us, and Dr. Schmidt's apparatus were at least enticing enough to make sure he would suffer very little competition from the members of our class. Those Seniors seemed so very thick! Why from our position in the amphi- theatre Ctop rowsl we seemed to know all the answers when we were awake. As Spring was approaching we thought these finals would be a cinch since we knew everything so cold -then came osteomyelitis, herniae, and the like. Oh, my! One glance at the notes for the year and you realized you had let things slip too longp but you had told the man that you could do it, and you just had to. The exams seemed to last from Spring into Summer, starting so very early and ending-all the other classes had departed for home, after their completion, we examined the reports of missing persons and finally agreed that all the boys had left Philadelphia. At any rate our class of one-hundred and twenty-seven strong did get through the exams and the explosions there- after, and recuperated by means of vacations and junior interneships. By this time we all realized- Every man has his gift, and the tools go to him that can use them. -Kingsley The survival of the fittest gathered for their last get-to-gether on September 23, l939. The heads of hair which we had formerly mentioned as present dur- ing our first years had now dwindled and grayed, so that by now a good many of the bunch now had heavenly hair. Nevertheless we were Seniors and it wouldn't be long now until We would be sons of old Iefferson, and despite the fact that many of us had been junior internes, or camp doctors, school went on just as usual. It has been a pleasure to relive and describe the memories and impression of our first three years, but since we are actually living this our Senior year, such cannot be done. The worried expressions and actions of all of us seeking our choice interneships, the securing of letters of recommendation-all this we can look to in retrospect. Again we must express our gratitude to our Alma Mater and its faculty for the prestige which they possess, and the manner in which our dark days have been made much brighter. Dr. David M. Davis delivered the opening address in an excellent manner, and after one glimpse at our new schedule we realized at least one reason for his talk on Self Reliance. VV' e found that we were all C.C.'s Cnot C.C.C.'s7-- Clinical Clerks-and more or less the experimental class for the new method THE CLINIC of instruction adopted by the faculty. There were several rough places in the schedule that had to be ironed out, as expected, but even with the radical change, the system has been accepted wholeheartedly by both faculty and students, the combination of efforts necessary to make any system successful. The twelve sections of eleven men each working at P.G.H., Pennsylvania, jew- ish, Lying-ln, Pine Street, and jefferson Hospitals, make for ideal working units. New subjects crept in among our advanced studies of surgery, medicine, and obstetrics, including bronchoscopy, otology, laryngology, and ophtha- mology. Our new dean, Dr. Mohler, ill the first portion of the year has again been able to carry on his regular Monday clinics in which we have learned to love and admire him more and more. ln appreciation for his thoughts, ac- tions, and fulfillment of duty at jefferson Modical College, the class of 1940 pre- sents the school with a portrait of our teacher and friend-Dean Henry K. Mohler, Dr. Shallow's Surgery clinic has not only been an instructive hour in the subject and a what am I thinking game, but a meeting place for persons from all walks of life. The clinics of Drs. Reimann and Davis will always be remembered for completeness of subjects under discussion and lessons in rhe- toric and public speaking. We as a class love our teachers, appreciate their efforts, and enjoy our work, yet cannot express the gratitude we actually feel toward our professors and their staffs. Many men to whom we feel grateful have possibly been omitted in this history, but we wish them to know that- Where your heart lies, there your thoughts lie also. The finale of our journey toward our medical degree-a good starting point for our careers-is fast approaching. It has not been an easy road, but rather a pleasant and in- structive one-a road on which we have done our best so that we will be proud to be called sons of jefferson and associates of an all-star cast. We shall carry with us that intangible something which has grown on us during our passage through jefferson, shall try our best to be an honor to our Alma Mater, and shall endeavor to prolong and cheer human life as well as stay the hand of death. May these few reminiscences serve to draw us all back to jefferson and back together whenever and wherever we may turn these pages. Now let us thank the Eternal Power: convinced That Heaven but tries our virtue by affliction, That oft the cloud which wraps the present hour Serves but to brighten all our future days. -john Brown ROGER THOMAS, Historian.

SMITH President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Historian History of the Class of 1941 On the evening of September 20, 1937, the late Dean, Dr. Ross V. Pat- terson's welcome to the Iefferson Medical College embarked the Class of 1941 upon its strenuous yet fascinating pursuit of the much coveted degree of Doctor of Medicine. Dr. George Pt. Bancroft, professor of chemistry, in presenting the opening address, at this time, pointed out the numerous advancements and many goals in the field of medicine. A course in Osteoloy served as an introduction to the type and amount of studying which was to confront us throughout the ensuing years. This all too short a course for the vast amount of material to be assimilated was soon climaxed by our first written examination --- an occurrence that has since been much too frequent for the comfort of many of us. Next came anatomy under the capable guidance of Dr. 1. Parsons Schaeffer, whose scholarly and dignified lectures were an inspiration to all. Dr. Michels reigned in the laboratory and his classical , animated lecture on the reflec- tions of the peritoneum will always be remembered as a highlight of our first year. ln the same department Dr. Darasch introduced us to Mistology and Embryology capably assisted by Dr. Ramsay. ln bacteriology we became acquainted with Dr. Randle C. Rosenberger, a man of genial personality with a sincere desire to be of service to all lefferson men. His annual Christmas Carol Sing with his classes stands out as a tribute to his sincerity and kindness. Dr. Kreidler his able assistant could always be counted upon for one of his stories preceding each lecture. Dr. George R. Bancroft, better known as Uncle George , exposed us to the intricate and perplexing study of chemistry along with a liberal spattering of Greek, botany, astronomy, and other diversified subjects. Dr. Hansen and Mr. Williams assisted in the laboratory and it is rumored they spent their leisure moments devising new ways to keep our chem. quizz grades at a minimum. 1, . , ,. . 164 With the coming of spring Iefferson was saddened by the untimely death of Dean Patterson. Not having had sufficient contact with Dr. Patterson, we could not fully appreciate our great loss. All too soon the first year was over and the much dreaded finals were upon us. Finals over, we breathed a sigh of relief only to sink back into a re- lapse for two fitful weeks as we awaited that all important yellow slip which was so vital to our future. The following September the more fortunate members reconvened ready to tackle the second year. Our class suffered some casualties as others before it, and consequently, many familiar faces were absent. Again we made our way to D. B. l., this time for the perplexng course of neuro-anatomy under the guidance of Dr. Schaeffer. Dr. Lipshutz conducted the laboratory work of the course and his practical examination left many in doubt as to the probable outcome. Pathology was presented by Dr. Moon-distinguished for his outstanding theory on shock and his story telling. Dr. Morgan, a great teacher and true friend, taught the morbid anatomy, while Dr. Lieber supervised the laboratory and posts. Dr. Thomas assisted by Drs. Crider and Tuttle presented a very interesting and comprehensive course in physiology. lt will always remain a mystery as to how Dr. Tuttle manages to cram such a vast and varied number of objects into two pockets. Pharmacology was fired at us with machine gun rapidity by Dr. Gruber, who not only gave us writers cramp but kept us in a constant state of dread with his unannounced quizzes. Dr. Haury's lectures on anesthesia and as to what constitutes a fatal dose of toadstools stand out as highlights of the course. Dr. Truner ably presented the course in physical diagnosis. Although at times his clinics took on the appearance of a three ring circus, they were our first actual contact with patients. Minor surgery was adequately and interestingly covered by Drs. Surver and Fry. Then along came the inevitable finals and another much needed summer vacation. The Fall of l939 again found us ready to begin another year of struggle towards that non-too-distant goal. This year our ranks were reenforced by numerous transfer students. With almost explosive suddenness we were in the swing of things rushing madly from the College to D. B. l. for more anatomy, then to P. G. H. for medicine, and last but not least to dear old Pine Street for diseases of the chest. lt is miraculous the number of lectures, clinics, and labs. they have managed to crowd into this year. ln therapeutics we had the honor of our first contact with our new Dean, Dr. Henry K. Hohler. Dr. Moon continued on in Pathology and Drs. Morgan and Lieber weilded the knife at the posts at P. G. H. Hygiene and preventive medicine again brought us in contact with our old friend-Dr. Rosenberger. Surgery was carried on by Dr. Shallow, Dr. Muller, and their respective staffs. 165 Dr. Vaux, Dr. Ulrich, and Dr. Montgomery attended to our obstetrical edu- cation, while Drs. Anspach and Schetiey tauqht us still more about Women in qynecoloqy. A Our medicine was presented to us by such able and outstanding men as Dr. Reimann and Dr. Beardsley and their assistants. At P. G. H. our clinical medicine was Well presented by Drs. Lowenberq, Kramer, and Goldburqh. May this history suffice to relate some of the more pleasant memories ot our first three years at lefierson and may the next and last year prove as in- teresting and enjoyable.

GOCKE President Vice President Treasurer Historian History of the Class of 1942 After thriving on fresh air and sunshine fsornething which is very rare in the city of Brotherly Love? for four months, we returned to lefferson to find that our class had dwindled to 117 scholars??? Everyone greeted each other with the familiar phrase glad to see you back or what are you doing back , most- ly the former. Any way every one greeted each other just as a matter of formality. The first few days were spent in greeting the freshmen and showing them around school-helping them get their bones and trying to advise them as to the best method of attack on old Osteologyu-I am certain very little atten- tion was paid to our fatherly advice as they surely had gotten their last min- ute instructions before boarding the rattler for old Philly . Finally the few days of leisure ended and back to the grind stone we plodded-some faster than others but all reaching it sooner or later. We found that D.B.l. hadn't changed a bit-neither had Dr. I. Parsons Schaeffer. The good Doctor welcomed us all back and in the same breath and tone of voice announced that lke had repaired the first five rows of seats and they no long- er were on the reserved list. However, we found our Neuro-Anatomy to be very interesting and puzzling at times, until Dr. Schaeffer and his very amicable assistant Dr. Barney Lipshutz put us on the right path. Smiles were more frequent after the month of February had slipped by than before-good old Neuro had passed by the way side??? Smiles were not for long as the Pharmacology Department really got in the groove. ln Dr. C. M. Gruber we found a gentleman and a scholar and in the students lingo a good egg . Dr. Gruber was known as the mystery man to most sophomores-the mystery being when we would get a blue book. How- ever we larned Pharmacology from A to Z . We found Dr. Grubers' two 170 assistants, Dr. Haury and Dr. Drake, to be two good gents and of much aid in the very well organized lab. Dr. Thomas won our immediate respect for his pleasing personality and his efforts to make Physiology mean something. In lab we made contact with Dr. I. O. Crider and Dr. Tuttle. Vtfe were again entertained on Wednesday afternoons by Dr. Tuttle, the artist of the Physiology department and checker of the students notes for the first semester on his lectures-l think he gave a short quiz in lanuary also'?? Doctor, I have a pain ,-Right you are again-none other than Dr. ,Tur- ner. Much credit is to be given to Dr. Turner for his never tiring energy and willingness to help the students in Physical Diagnosis. Of course we can not forget Dr. Hamrick and his surprise visits to the lecture with the roll book and catching a few of the boys at the show-the boys didn't worry for they knew it had happened in the best of families. Our most eminent chief of Pathology and possessor of his share of incred- uality, Dr. V. H. Moon, led us through many hours with his stories and other di- gressions and also showed a complete mastery of his subject. ln lab we found Dr. Lieber to be quite unassuming and a great philosopher, but of much aid along with Dr. Herbut. We had many a merry session across the hall with Dr. Davey Morgan and we were always assured of a pleasant and instruc- tive session with him. Our introduction in to the field of Surgery was made most interesting by two well qualified gentlemen, Dr. Surver and Dr. Fry, who have lots of pa- tience. Ha! Ha! Dr. Fry kept us on our toes the second half with oral quizzes which turned out to be of much benefit in the end. As for Psycho-Biology and Neuro-Pathology not a lot can be said except that we can see from where we are sitting there is a lot in store for us in the next two years concerning the two subjects. Looking back over the year we found it a very pleasant one and are look- ing forward to our next two years with much gusto. IACK THOMAS GOCKE, ' Historian I wish to acknowledge and thank H. C.

RODGERS G. ROMOR Vice President President Historian History of the Class of l91l3 H. With considerable excitement the freshman class met for their first introduc- tion to Iefferson Medical College at eight o'clock on September 20, l939 in the College Auditorium. Here we learned of the traditions that lefferson stands for. We were willing to learn then-as we still are. Our official introduction to the Faculty was a memorable one. There we saw what a distinguished group of men our Faculty were, and we were glad to see the men who were going to be responsible for our education throughout the next four years. Dr. Rosenberger introduced the speaker of the evening, Dr. Davis, who told us of the traditions of dear Old Iefferson and medicine in general. After his talk we felt better prepared to venture forth to try our wings in medicine. Q We realy started to work by being introduced to Osteology, the study of bones, as we thought, but there were quite a few additional things to learn in this subject. We learned a great deal about bones, a great deal of which has already slipped our minds. We learned to speak a new language other than the basic course in Greek given in conjunction with Chemistry. ln our endeavors to learn, we owe a great deal to our instructors who al- ways are willing to help us out of our difficulties, but who sometimes present us with other problems which seem worse than those they straightened out for us originally. ln Anatomy we met a very distinguished gentleman, Dr. Schaeffer who has a disturbing habit of making you forget whatever you did know every time he asks a question. However, we owe a great deal to his help both in the lab- oratory and in his lectures. We also met Dr. Michels whom you really can 176 hear in lecture and in the laboratory. His lectures on a typical spinal nerve will always remain as one of the highlights of our freshman year. We also came under the able tutelage of Dr. Bennet, who recently joined our faculty. His lectures were a great help to us. Under these men we raced through Anatomy laboratory tor so it seemed? and cut the wrong thing many a time. In the Chemistry Department we met a sincere gentleman, Dr. Bancroft, who usually saw to it that we had enough work to keep us busy for many a night. In some cases, he also caused some of us quite a bit of worry. How- ever, I think we will survive, for the major part. In Dr. Hosenberger We found a very able man who is a great friend to all the freshmen. His Friday quizz sections were of great interest to all for many and various reasons, mostly his sense of humor. Dr. Kreidler, he of the genial countenance, made Bacteriology seem fun, and also helped us a great deal in our work. We salute Dr. Ptadasch, whose Tuesday's lectures in Histology and embry- ology were a source on interest and pleasure to all. Without Dr. Badasch, Histology would not have been the same. We also found an able assistant in Dr. Ramsay, whose beautiful drawings and clear explanations cleared up many a doubtful point for many of us. To them we owe our knowledge of Histology and Embryology. At the present time, we all look forward to being upper classmen, having heard all about the coming phases of our work from our friends. So all that is left is to hope that we will all be here next year to continue with our studies and many pleasant associations. THE FBESHMAN CLASS Adam, Stewart I. .... N. J. Cooper, L. S. .. Md.

HENRY KELLER MCHLER, M. D. ENRY KELLER MOHLER, Dean and Sutherland M. Prevost, Professor of Therapeutics at Iefferson Medical College, was born in Ephrata, Penn- sylvania, on April 2, 1887. From his father, William Keller, and mother, Amanda K. Mohler, Dr. Mohler has inherited the sterling qualities which have characterized his entire career, namely, modesty, determination, clear thought and the ability to judge human nature. Apparently the desire to become a physician was deeply imbedded in his mind early in life, for, after graduation from the Ephrata High School in 1904, he came to Philadelphia at the age of seventeen and matriculated in the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. Graduating from that institution in 1907 at the head of his class, he sought wider satisfaction of a restless energy and was admitted to the Freshman Class of the Iefferson Medical College in the fall of 1908. During his four years at lefferson he was Student Resident Phar- macist to the lefferson Hospital, and it was during this period that the ground- work was laid for his future contributions to lefferson's expansion in the field of medicine. During his student days, work was his motto, and his ability as a leader was rewarded by his classmates making him President of the Senior Class and being voted the most popular man in his class. Henry K. Mohler gradu- ated from lefferson Medical College in 1912, leading his class. At the 25th reunion of the Class of 1912, a few years ago, he was still voted leader . His close association with lefferson continued. Appointed as interne to the hospital, he served with distinction under Doctors McCrae, Hare, DaCosta, etc., and at the end of his service Dr. McCrae placed him in charge of the Laboratory of Clinical Medicine in the College. Advancement in the Depart- ment of Medicine was rapid and justly deserved, and this connection was ac- tive until his appointment as Clinical Professor of Therapeutics in 1932. Fol- lowing the death of Dr. Ross V. Patterson in 1938, he was elected Sutherland M. Prevost Professor of Therapeutics. ln recognition of his ability as a teacher, leader, and organizer, Dr. Moh- ler was appointed Medical Director of the lefferson Hospital in 1914, one of the most difficult posts in the whole institution. His youth made little differ- ence, for his ability had already been proven to the Board of Trustees. During the twenty-four years he held the position many changes were made, the Sam- uel Gustine Thompson Annex and the Curtis Clinic were built, and numerous new departments in the hospital were established. Administration policies adopted during this period are copied by institutions everywhere. Those who worked under the Medical Director during this difficult time were always con- 184 4 'q,W 5 - Qgggggg 53333815 A Wiiisfgx 4 'Sw ' fig-E., gffg.-we 5 Higigfaefhs Y :W i gFl5g:.iYFXIh ?1 ggifswfw fi fafii fgfifg, xa?g::v,.,gf1,,x 51,155 , i yglqgfmwgf gg. 5RiNigi3 ,gs'5ggf,,3?v.?iT 11105-gf 1 5'-SSE-.ffgjg,3gHghEgff,5g,+,g' We ff?ff'1f'55f52!Ei35'?'-Qrff ,4:x,,-Q-,yi1 f'ff-f-Q5Q:,f,.,,Aw W-Q iijfgpy fff2f,Wq45f'?Qg?bfQQ-Q? if f?

His fairness, and good judgment under stress and strain has been an important factor in placing the hospital in its present distinguished position. When the United States entered the World W' ar, Dr. Mohler had an im- portant active part in the organization of the lefferson Unit, serving as assistant and later as Chief of Medical Service of the U. S. Army General Hospital No. 38. He served abroad for the duration of the war, first as Captain in the Medi- cal Corps, and after the Armistice he was appointed Lieutenant Colonel in the U. S. Army Medical Reserve Corps and Commanding Officer of U. S. Army Base Hospital No. 38. As a member of Medical Societies and kindred organizations he has been active in many fields. In addition to membership in his county and state so- cieties and the American Medical Association, he is a Fellow of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia and the American College of Physiciansg a Direc- tor of the Philadelphia Health Council and Tuberculosis Association, the Penn- sylvania Society for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis and the' Chil- dren's Heart Hospital: a member of the Pneumonia Commission of the Medical Society of the State of Pennsylvania and past President of the Philadelphia Heart Association and the Pennsylvania Hospital Association. His college fraternities include Alpha Kappa Kappa and Alpha Omega Alpha. He is a member of the Art Club of Philadelphia and the Philadelphia Medical Club. lust prior to sailing for France, on February 2l, l9l8 Dr. Mohler was mar- ried to Nellie Whiteley. From this union a daughter, Alicia Whiteley, was born luly 29, l926. ' Following the death of Dr. Ross V. Patterson, the Board of Trustees ap- pointed Dr. Mohler Dean of the Iefferson Medical College August l, l938. His success in this position has already been demonstrated. In this portrait one recognizes Henry Mohler as his associates know him, the Class of 1940 must also have recognized these strong qualities and are to be congratulated for having made possible this splendid gift to the College. CUT 187 Some Interesting I efferson Alumni One cannot remain long associated with the Iefferson Medical College without becoming acquainted with the life and works of her fourth and greatest Professor of Surgery, Samuel D. Gross, L.L.D., Cambridge, Edinburgh, Pennsyl- vania, D.C.L., Oxford, who has been immortalized by Thomas Eakins' master- piece. The Gross Clinic, and in whose honor a monument has been erected in Washington, D. C.: of I. Marion Sims, one of the founders of Gynecology, who devised the Sims Speculum, described Sims Position, was the first to oper- ate successfully upon vesico-vaginal fistula, established the Women's Hospital in New York, and in whose honor also a monument has been dedicated in that cityg of S. Weir Mitchell, one of the greatest neurologists yet produced in this country, the first to describe Erythomelagia, and the author of Hugh Wynne and The Red City , of I. H. Brinton, one of the founders of the Army Medical Museum, later Professor of Surgery at Ieffersong of Ionathan Letterman, Medi- cal Director of The Army of the Potomac, for whom the army hospital in San Francisco is named, of W. W. Keen, one of America's first brain surgeons, Hon- orary Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons. recipient of the L.L.D. of Brown, Northwestern, Yale, Toronto, and Edinburghp of Oscar H. Allis, who devised the Allis Forceps, Dissector and inhaler, and who described Allis' sign in frac- tures of the neck of the femury of I. Chalmers DaCosta, one of the greatest sur- gical teachers of his erag of Chevalier Iackson, the founder of BronchoscO1DY: of Arthur Dare, originator of the hemoglobinometer which bears his name: recent- ly of Victor Heiser, author of An American Doctor's Odyssey, and many others which time does not permit to mention fullyg such as I. M. DaCosta, L.L.D., Pennsylvania, whose ideas on respiratory percussion were adopted by Friedrich and whose views on typus were accepted by Iaccoud. As a matter of interest, one might mention also, Edward R. Squibb, founder of the chemical company. Indiscussing some of the above Iefferson Alumni, I. Chalmers DaCosta listed in order of their greatness-Samuel D. Gross, S. Weir Mitchell, W. W. Keen, and I. Marion Sims. Among other great figures who have been connected with Iefferson and who were graduated from other institutions are George McClellan, M.D., Uni- versity of Pennsylvania, who founded our college in l825. He was a grand- nephew of General McClellan of George Washington's Army and the father of General George McClellan, the Civil War hero, who stopped Lee's north- ward thrust at Antietam. It was while retiring exhausted from this battle that General Letterman, seeking refuge in the home of Miss Mary Lee, met this young lady and who afterwards became his wife. No doubt most of the facts just enumerated are more or less well known and we will pass on to consider a body of men who have made history in vari- ous parts of the world, but whose names, and undeservediy so, have become obscure in relation to those of the great figures who remained in closer associ- ation with their Alma Mater. 188 ANSON IONES, M.D. Anson lones C1798-18581 the Architect of Annexation, Was born in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. He graduated from lefferson in 1827 and practiced five years in Philadelphia with little success. Becoming discouraged, he drifted into New Orleans where he acquired the habits of drinking and gambling. Fol- lowing a severe illness, he wandered into Brazoria, Texas. This marked the turning point of his career as a trained physician which was just what the local citizens wanted. He soon became busy, established, and respected. ln 1836, he served as physician to Houston's little army and left his medicines to fight as a private soldier in the decisive engagement at San Iacinto. With the de- feat of the Mexicans and the organization of Texas as an independent State, he served successively as Minister to Washington and Secretary of State, and in 1844, became the last president of the Republic of Texas. The closing lines of his address surrendering his authority to the Governor-Elect of the new State are especially beautiful. Dr. Iones then retired to his plantation Barrington on the Brazos, so called in honor of his birthplace. ln 1858, in a fit of tempor- ary depression, he committed suicide in the Old Capital Hotel in Houston. He never lost interest in medicine and practiced in his community when the affairs of state permitted. CHARLES A. LUZENBERG, M.D. Graduating in the same class as Dr. Iones, was a young man born in Verona, Italy, of a German father, and destined to become famous in the state of Louisiana. Following his graduation, Charles A. Luzenberg became the hospital pupil of Dr. Physick, then at the zenith of his career. Stimulated by his master, Luzenberg developed an intense liking for surgery, and in 1829, he migrated to New Orleans where he soon achieved a dominant place in the medical life of that city. ln the midst of a brilliant career, he felt the need for further study and spent two years, 1832-1834, studying in European clinics, par- ticularly under Dupuytren. Upon his return, he resumed his prominent posi- tion in New Orleans, and in 1834, made his place in the history of medical edu- cation when he became one of.th.e.founders and the first Professor of Surgery of the Medical College of Louisiana. In 1845, this school became the Medical College of the University of Louisiana and in 1884, following the instructions in the will of its greatest benefactor, Tulane University. Luzenberg was only twenty-six at the time of his appointment, as were three other members of the original faculty, including the first Dean, Dr. Thomas Hunt. After four months service, Hunt resigned owing to faculty dissension and Luzenberg replaced him as Dean. ln the following year, 1836, the first class graduated. At the exer- cises, Luzenberg delivered an oration in Latin and conferred the medical de- grees, the first, not only in Louisiana, but in the entire Southwest as well. He resigned his posts as Dean and Professor of Surgery shortly afterwards as a result of further faculty dissension, and accepted an appointment as Medical Director of the Charity Hospital in New Orleans. He held this position until his death from angina pectoris in 1848 at the age of forty-three. Permit me to quote for its humor in retrospect, a passage by Dr. Thomas M. Logan, in Samuel D. Gross' Lives of Eminent American Physicians and Surgeons of the Nineteenth Century, published in 1861, relative to Luzenberg's resignation from the fac- ulty, For reasons which it does not comport with my sense of propriety to dis- cuss in this memoir, but which did not affect his character, Dr. Luzenberg saw fit to withdraw from his chair in the College and forever after eschewed the society of his then associates. 189 WASHINGTON LEMUEL ATLEE, M.D. In the class of 1829, one year after Samuel D. Gross, there was a young man destined to become a pioneer in Gynecology. Washington Lemuel Atlee was born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. He practiced in his native town for a number of years and in 1845 accepted the chair of Medical Chemistry in the University of Pennsylvania. He resigned after a short service to devote himself to a large practice. His name is important in the establishment of ovariotomy as a recognized procedure, but his early advocacy of treating uterine fibromata by surgery represents real pioneer work. Marion Sims said of him, The name of Atlee stands without a rival in connection with uterine fibroids. No man has yet dared to imitate him. Generations have passed since he gave to the world his valuable essay on the subject, but it is only within the past five years that the profession has come to realize the great truths he labored to establish. A transcription of his celebrated essay, Surgical Treatment of Certain Fibrous Tumors of the Uterus, Heretofore Considered Beyond the Resources of Art which shows in a fine way his clearness and precision of thought, can be found in Classic Contributions to Obstetrics and Gynecology by Herbert Thomas, M.D., Associate Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Yale University. While doing one of his early ovariotomies on the second floor of a building in Wil- liamsport, the floor collapsed, precipitating every one, surgeon, assistants, pa- tient, and spectators, to the floor below. Fortunately, no one was injured and Atlee proceeded calmly to complete the operation. lt was Atlee who saved the day for George McClellan, on the latter's famous ride to Harrisburg to se- cure lefferson's charter, by supplying him with fresh horses when his own be- cme exhausted in Lancaster. DANIEL BRAINARD, M.D. Passing onward, We pause to consider two remarkable members of the class of 1834. Daniel Brainard H812-18665, a native of New York, settled in Chicago, then little more than an army outpost. Affairs turned badly for him when he first arrived at the future metropolis, and he was described by the Honorable Dean Caton as Wearing pretty seedy clothes riding up to his office on a little Indian pony and nearly out of funds. What would the judge advise him to do? He advised him to sell his pony at a near-by Indian camp, take a little table in his tCaton'sl office, and put his shingle by the side of the door. Three years of work brought no success but in l838, a canal laborer fractured his thigh bone. He came to Chicago on foot before union occurred, so increas- ing the inflammation that Brainard decided to operate, finding it necessary to amputate at the hip joint. The patient was well for one month and the wound almost healed. This created a sensation. Baron Larrey, Napoleon's great sur- geon, had only three recoveries in hundreds of cases. Suddenly, a fatal sec- ondary hemorrage occurred and post-mortem revealed a large bony neoplasm attached to the pelvic bone. This fatal issue in no way detracted from Brain- hard's work and his progress was upward and rapid. He spent the years of l838-1841 in Paris, at that time the mecca for American medical students, do- ing post-graduate work. ln l842, he became Professor of Anatomy in St. Louis University and in 1843 he founded the Rush Medical College and became its first Professor of Surgery. He named his college Rush, hoping, by so doing, to secure an endowment from that family, realizing nothing more, however, than a note of thanks. ln 1852, he was made an honorary member of the Surgical Society of Paris and in 1854, received a gold medal from the A. M. A. for his 190 treatise Treatment of Ununited Fractures. In 1886, following a lecture on cholera to his class, he was stricken with it and died in forty-eight hours. IAMES P. WHITE, M.D. A classmate of Brainard's deserves mention because of his contributions to obstetrics. Those who read the recent paper of our distinguished Emeritus Professor of Obstetrics, P. Brooke Bland, The Development of Obstetrics in Colonial America and Philadelphia, will recall that in it he pointed out the important fact that the first clinical demonstration of a delivery before a class of medical students was held on lanuary 18, 1850, in the University of Buffalo, New York, by Dr. lames P. White C1811-18611, M.D., 1834. Permit me to add that, for this action, Dr, Vllhite became the center of a storm of abuse instigated by the press. He sued one of the papers and although damages were not awarded, he succeeded in vindicating himself. He was active in founding the medical school of the University of Buffalo and became its first Professor of Obstetrics. IOI-IN STOUGH BOBBS, M.D. We now find ourselves considering the realm of Surgery as personified by lohn Stough Bobbs, a native of Green Valley, Pennsylvania, who left lefferson to live in Indiana. It is not clear whether or not Bobbs actually received a dip- loma. According to Packard's History of Medicine in the United States, he graduated in 1836, but his name is not on the official alumni list. Kelly and Burrage say that he attended two courses of lectures at lefferson and studied under a preceptor there. On lune 15, 1867, he became the first man in history to perform a cholecystotomy, removing the gall stones from a woman, age thirty-five years. The patient made a splendid recovery. In 1869, he became the first Professor of Surgery in the newly organized University of Indiana. PI-IINEAS SANBORN CONNER, M.D. Perhaps it would not be inappropriate at this time to mention another lef- ferson man who did pioneer work in abdominal surgery-Phineas Sanborn Conner H839-19091, M.D., 1861, a native of 'West Chester, Pennsylvania, and who settled in Cincinnati. He held the Chair of Surgery in several medical schools, including the Medical College of Ohio. In 1873 he was appointed Professor of Surgery in Dartmouth Medical College, where he lectured in the spring and summer. In 1883, he became the first surgeon to perform gastrec- tomy. In 1884 he was honored with the I...L.D. of Dartmouth University. IOHN HOMEPI DIX, M.D. We turn to Ophthalmology for our next subject and find lohn Homer Dix C1811-18941, M.D., 1836, a native of Boston. He was one of the first to use the ophthalmoscope in the United States and was the first in this country to divide the internal rectus for congenital strabismus, an operation originated by Diffen- bach. In 1856, he erected the Hotel Pelham in Boston and by so doing, intro- duced the apartment house into America. CORNELIUS VAN ALLEN VAN DYCK, M.D. The field of the medical missionary next occupies our attention as we re- flect upon the life of Cornelius Van Allen Van Dyck C1818-18957, M.D., 1839, a native of New York. Following his graduation, he was appointed missionary 191 to Syria. A tenacious memory and natural linguistic ability enabled him to acquire rapidly a thorough knowledge of Arabic speech and literature. From 1843-1849, he prepared Arabic texts on the geography of Syria, navigation, natural history, algebra, geometry, and plane and spherical trigonometry. ln 1846 he was ordained a minister. ln 1857 he began his great work of continu- ing the translation of the Bible into Arabic, which was begun by Eli Smith in 1848. Working in' close co-operation with the ablest native and European schol- ars, he completed this task eight years later. He spent the years from 1865 to 1867 in New York supervising the preparation of electrotype plates used in printing the Bible. During the two years in America, he taught Hebrew in the Union Theological Seminary. In 1867 he became Professor of Pathology in the Syrian Protestant College, Professor of Astronomy in the Department of Arts and Sciences, and Director of the Meteorological Laboratory. He also found time to practice medicine and write Arabic texts on pathology, chemistry, in- ternal medicine, physical diagnosis, and astronomy. ln 1883, he resigned his professorships and practiced in St. George's Hospital until his retirement in 1893. Meanwhile, he published in Arabic, eight volumes of science primers and a popular volume on astronomy. Before his death in 1895, he translated Ben Hur. GREENSVILLE DOWELL, M.D. Our narrative now swings from Syria back to the state of Texas, where we first visited in company with Anson Iones. Greensville Dowell C1822-18811, M.D., 1847, was born in Virginia. He settled in Galveston where, in 1870, he published the Galveston Medical Iournal, the first medical periodical published in Texas. From 1865-1877, he was Professor of Surgery in the Texas Medical College. ln 1873 he published Radical Cure of Hernia, in which he described a method of repair which became known as Dowell's Operation. In 1874, he first performed Nephrorrhaphy, seven years before it was introduced by Hahn. ln 1876 he published Yellow Fever and Malarial Disease, a copy of which is in possession of the College of Physicians. In discussing the etiology of yellow fever, permit me to quote a passage from his book, Hence there must be some cause, specific and sui generis which produces it. This cause 1 have assumed is animalicular or fungotic Cmicroscopicl and partakes of the nature of the grasshoppers of Egypt and the western prairies, or the smut in cereal: but these are too small to be observed with any instruments we now have, and have so far eluded demonstration, but if we compare the effects of heat and cold on gnats and mosquitoes, it will not be difficult to believe it is of the same nature, since it is controlled by the same natural laws. There is a portrait in possession of Dr. Dowell's family showing him wearing two gold medals, pre- sented by the cities of Memphis and New Orleans, in appreciation of the work he did during the yellow fever epidemics. Following Dr. Dowell's second mar- riage to a beautiful young lady, a group of friends decided to Serenade the honeymooners and gathered beneath the window of the hotel room where the bride and groom had gone. This effort was not appreciated by the groom, who in attempting to disperse them, fell to the ground, suffering a severe fracture of his left arm. ICHN GALSGOW KERR, M.D. Now we reinvade the medical missionary field, finding the locale of our sketch in China instead of in Syria, where we left Dr. Van Dyck. lts subject, lohn Glasgow Kerr I 1842-18011, was a classmate of Dowell's in 1847, and one 192 of the most robust characters ever to receive a sheepskin from lefferson. He and his wife left for China in 1853 on a sailing vessel of six hundred fifty tons, and arrived in Hong Kong after a voyage of six months. He was placed in charge of the famous hospital of the Medical Missionary Society in Canton, a post he held for forty years. Below is enumerated a record of his work: Out-patients ............................ 740,324 In-patients .......... 39,441 Surgical Operations ............ , 48,098 Operations for Vesical Calculus . . . 1,234 Translations of Medical Works ............ 34 volumes Number of medical students trained ...... 150 tamong these was Dr. Sun Yat Sen, first presi- dent of the Republic of Chinal. In 1897, Dr. Kerr was called to Peking to perform a serious operation on the United States Minister, His Excellency, Charles Denby. The diplomat had already gone to Europe for treatment which had not been successful. Dr. Kerr was seventy years old at that time and probably the world's foremost surgeon in vesical calculus. After nearly a year's delay, owing to a difference of opin- ion among physicians as to the exact nature of the malady, Dr. Kerr arrived in Peking and operated successfully upon Mr. Denby. He published in Chinese a materia medica treatise on vaccination, skin diseases, symptomatology, and diseases of the eye. ln 1898 he made his greatest contribution to Chinese Medi- cine when he founded in Canton the first mental hospital in China. BEVERLEY COLE, M.D. From the land of the rising sun, we wander eastward into the state of Cali- fornia, where we encounter Beverley Cole C1829-19011, M.D., 1849. A few years after hisvarrival in San Francisco, he was appointed Surgeon General of the Guard raised by the Viligance Committee. He achieved prominence in 1856, in connection with the murder of Iarnes King. After the shooting, Cole rendered assistance to the stricken man, but was supplanted after a few days by H. H. Toland. Five days elapsed, the patient succumbed, and Cole publicly stated that death was caused by a sponge left in the wound for five days. Cole and Toland were opposing witnesses at the murder trial and bitterly attacked each other. Strangely, when the latter established the Toland Medical College some years later, Cole was made Dean. When Cooper founded the medical depart- ment of the University of California in 1858, Cole was appointed its first Dean and Professor of Obstetrics and Women and Children. A portrait of Dr. Cole in academic dress, painted in 1889 by William Keith a well-known California artist, hangs in the Dean's office in the medical school. ln the main hall of the chem- istry building of the university, a placaue has been dedicated in Dr. Cole's honor by the alumni association. Dr. Cole's ashes repose in an urn behind this placque. In 1859 he created a furor when he read cr paper on Obstetrics and Diseases of Women in California, in which he claimed that the pioneer women in California were mostly the Victims of disease and dissipation. He was attacked on all sides and the State Medical Society finally studied the matter and excused Cole from any evil intent to defame the character of the women of the state, although the body did censure the language of the report as loose and improper. 193 THOMAS ADDIS EMMET, M.D. We have already considered two pioneers in the field of Gynecology, but still another looms large upon the surgical scene-Thomas Addis Emmet C1829- l9l9l, M.D., 1850, was a classmate of S. Weir Mitchell. He was a great-nephew of Robert Emmet, the famous Irish orator, and a grandson of Thomas A. Emmet, the well known lrish patriot. His father was a Professor of Chemistry in the University of Virginia, where the future gynecologist was born. ln 1855 he met Sims and was appointed his assistant in the Women's Hospital in New York. In 1861 he became Surgeon in Chief and in 1872 was made Visiting Surgeon. Dr. Herbert Thoms feels that Emmet did more than any other man to place gynecological plastic surgery on a scientific basis. An abstract of his cele- brated essay on Crashelorrophy, can be found in Dr. Thoms' Classic Contribu- tions to Obstetrics and Gynecology. He was one of the foremost and best known collectors of American prints and autographs and extra-illustrated 150 books. His collection of autographs, rare documents, prints, books, and a unique set of large folios illustrating the period of the Declaration of lndependence was secured for the New York Public Library in 1896 by Mrs. lohn Kennedy, a phil- anthropist, at the cost of Sl50,000.00. ln 1898 he was awarded the Laetare Medal of Notre Dame University. A great tribute to Dr. Emmet is contained in the closing lines of the address given at the presentation exercises. Permit me to quote them. The Universities of Europe look to you as one of the great sur- geons of the century. The medical profession of America has for years con- sidered you as one of its most learned and skillfull members, and European and American Gynecologists and suffering women all over the World are in- debted to you for discoveries in surigical methods. Long go Homer said, 'A physicin is worth many other men' and you have proven the truth of that great poet's words, imitating the good physician Dante, the holy physician St. Luke, and the Divine Physician of mankind who healed the ills of soul and flesh. LEVI COOPER LANE, M.D. Let us return to California where We left Beverley Cole in the throes of a controversy and consider the character of another great figure in the medical history of that State. Levi Cooper Lane C1830-19027, M.D., 1851, was born in Ohio. He became interne at Ward's Island, New York, where for a time he was associated with Thomas A. Emmet. He remained there four years, then entered the Navy for a similar period, taking post-graduate in Europe, during his fur- loughs from the service. ln 1859 he was called to the Chair of Physiology in the recently established Medical School of the Pacific, founded by his uncle, Dr. Cooper. With Cooper's death, the school closed and Lane occupied a sim- ilar chair in the newly organized Toland Medical College, of which Beverley Cole was thefirst Dean. In 1870 a group from Toland revived the Medical Col- lege of the Pacific and Lane became Professor of Surgery. ln 1882 he presented a new building to the school and changed its name to Cooper in honor of his uncle. Subsequently, he gave it a second building and began negotiations with Stanford University which resulted in its amalgamation in 1909. In 1894 he built the Lane Hospital as an adjunct to the school. He performed the first vaginal hysterectomy in America, unaware that it had been done some years before in France and allowed to become forgotten. He devised surgical im- provements for hare-lip and originated an operation for microcephalus. His name is preserved in the college he founded by the Lane Lectures and the Lane Library, one of the largest in the country. W 194 IUAN CARLOS FINLEY, M.D. 1 lf you hve had occasion to receive mail from Cuba in the past few years, possibly you recognized the likeness on the stamp as that of a fellow alumnus, because he was so honored by the Island Republic in recognition of his cele- brated contributions to the etiology of yellow fever. luan Carlos Finlay C1833- 19l5l, M.D., 1855, was a native of Cuba. Following his graduation, he entered general practice and ophthalmology, meanwhile conducting experiments, the results of which were embodied in his famous paper read in 1881 before the Havana Academy of Science. The Mosquito Hypothetically Considered as the Agent of Transmission of Yellow Fever. In it, he named the stegomyia as causitive. Walter Reed procured the insects used in his epoch-making studies from Finlay, who bred them for his own experiments. Dr. Finlay received many honors, including the Mary Kingsley Medal of the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, the French Legion of Honor, the French Academy of Medicine and the L.L.D. of Iefferson. In 1933, the year which marked the centenary of his birth, the Cuban Government made him the subject of a stamp issue as pointed out previously. ROBERT BATTEY, M.D. Most mothers would have been content to bathe in the reflected glory of three great sons such as Sims, Atlee, and Emmet, but Iefferson had still an- other pioneer in gynecology to bear and send forth on a distinguished career- Robert Battey C1828-18959, M.D., 1856, was born in Georgia and graduated from the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy before acquiring his medical degree, after which he returned to his native state: He entered the field of gynecology and soon became outstanding. He received international recognition in 1859 for his paper Improved Operation for Vesico Vaginal Fistu1a. He spoke on this topic before the Obstetrical Society of London, and in Dublin, operated suc- cessfully upon a case of that nature which had been done unsuccessfully five times before. In 1872 he became the first to perform abdominal oophorectomy. He also performed this operation by the vaginal route unaware it had been done on two previous occasions. Dr. Battey was a master anatomist and a bold operator. According to Dr. Thoms, the principle of Battey's operation laid the foundation for the surgical treatment of many other pelvic conditions later developed by Hegar in Germany and Tait in England. In 1921 his mem- ory was honored by the erection of a monument in Rome, Georgia. AUSTIN FLINT, IR., M.D. The realm of purely scientific investigation now occupies our attention, and Austin Flint, Ir. C1836-19153, M.D., 1857, arrests it momentarily. While still a student, he demonstrated his interest in Physiology with his paper Phenomena of Capillary Circulation. At various times he held the Chair of Physiology in the medical colleges of Buffalo, New York and New Orleans. While at the latter institution, he experimented with large alligators and studied the effect of the vagus on the heart, respiration, functions of the liver, and the recurrent sensi- bility of the anterior spinal nerve roots. He was the first physiologist to oper- ate on the spinal cord and nerves of a living animal in the United States. In 1861, with his distinguished father, he was one of the founders and first Profes- sor of Physiology in Bellevue Medical College. He held this post for thirty years. In 1868, he received a prize of 1500 francs from the Institute of France for a paper on a previously unknown function of the liver in which he main- 195 tained that cholesterin in the bile was transformed into a substance he called stercorin. In 1885, he was awarded the L.L.D. of lefferson and in 1906, was appointed Professor of Physiology in the newly organized medical department of Cornell University. ln his later years he became famous as an alienist for the state of New York. In closing 1 would like to mention a few men who attended lefferson but did not receive diplomas. Two of them acquired no other formal education and one was prevented from graduating by the outbreak of the Civil War. I JOHN MANKEY Brees lohn Mankey Riggs C1810-18851 attended lefferson in 1839, then studied dentistry under Dr. Horace Wells in Hartford. On December 11, 1844, he per- formed an operation outstanding in the history of dentistry when he extracted a tooth from the mouth of Dr. Horace Wells while the latter was under nitrous oxide gas. This was the first dental extraction under anesthesia. Higgs was an individualist and prior to his matriculation at lefferson studied for the min- istry. He went so far as to reach the commencement exercises, upon which occasion an address on the Trinity was delivered by the Bishop. Following the discourse, Riggs congratulated him for his presentation but added that he didn't believe in the doctrine, and would be damned if he would preach it. At that moment Riggs decided, or possibly the Bishop decided for him, that his future lay elsewhere than in theology. THOMAS W. EVANS Thomas Wiltberger Evans C1828-18971, attended lefferson in 1841 and 1842. According to Koch's History of Dental Surgery, he graduated in 1842, but like lohn Bobbs, his name does not appear on the official alumni list. Evans went into dentistry eventually establishing himself in Paris where he became the personal friend and dentist to most of the important monarchs in Europe. He amassed a fortune in Parisian real estate, part of which he left to establish the Thomas W. Evans Museum and Dental Institute Society. In 1912, this institu- tion became identified with the Dental Department of the University of Penn- sylvania. X HUNTER HOLMES MCGUIRE , Hunter Holmes McGuire C1835-19005, was born in Virginia. His father, Hugh Holmes McGuire, was one time president of the American Society of Surgeons. Hunter graduated from the Winchester Medical College, founded by his father, and soon became a well-known physician. Feeling, however, the need for further education, he entered lefferson in 1858. In 1859 he led the secession of southern students from Philadelphia colleges as a consequence of lohn Brown's raid. Southern students in those days wore black slouch hats, let their hair grow shoulder length, and carried bowie knives. Quoting I. Chalmers DaCosta McGuire became the celebrated surgeon of Stonewall lackson's Corps and attended that great general on his deathbed. He was one of the very great surgeons of the country. In 1883 he received the L.I...D. of lefferson, and in 1904 a monument was erected in his memory in Capitol Square, Richmond, Virginia. Not to be outdone for the Union forces it is recorded for lefferson in history that Addinell Hewson, M.D., 1850, removed a bullet from the side of General George Gordon Meade shortly before Gettysburg. His son, namesake, 196 and fellow alumnus Addinell, Ir., M.D., 1879, was first to propose the colors Red and Blue, for the University of Pennsylvania, While an undergraduate there. In concluding, we are not unaware of the fact that except for a brief men- tion of lonathan Letterman and I. H. Brinton, we have not considered the con- tributions of Iefferson men to the United States Army and have omitted the Navy completely. Mere mention of the latter branch of the service brings to mind such naval heroes of days gone by as Ionathan Foltz, M.D., 1830, and Ninian Pinkey, M.D., 1833, both of whom distinguished themselves in the Civil War. Foltz later became Naval Surgeon General, and Pinlcney commanded The Red Rover, the first hospital ship, of which there is any record in the Navy. The contributions of these and other great figures to the Services would require another paper for complete consideration. Reflecting upon the lives and works of those we have discussed, one can- not help but feel that it is not Without justification that We resurrect them occa- sionally for our own inspiration and for the prestige they reflect upon us as fellow physicians. citwwl C. gm, JM.

The same year Kappa Delta Phi merged with and thus became a part of Phi Alpha Sigma. Delta Chapter was established at Iefferson on lanuary 14, 1889, With the initiation of fifteen charter members. We are proud to point to the. fact that Phi Alpha Sigma Was the first social fraternity to be established at Iefferson. The first chapter house was located at 1033 Walnut Street. This house soon became too small to accommodate the members, so a larger house Was secured on Spruce Street, Where the chapter remained for several years. Increasing membership and prosperity again demanded a new location, and the chapter moved to Clinton Street, one of the oldest residential streets in Philadelphia, Where it remained until 1935. ln that year the fraternity arranged to absorb the local chapter of Omega Upsilon Phi, and moved to 313 South Tenth Street, where it is now located. The membership of the fraternity exceeds three thousand, Delta Chapter over four hundred alumni of Iefferson, and the present number of active mem- bers is forty-seven. Delta Chapter lost an honored friend and brother, the late Dean Ross V. Patterson, when he died in May of 1938. 201 1 wma-,- f 'a g-ff., f f. .

Mayo. Outstanding among the purposes and ideals of the founders was the establish- ment of a fraternity which would inspire scholarship and further the advance- ment of medical science. The fraternity grew rapidly until the present number of chapters is forty. Rho Chapter was established in l9OO by the following men: R. C. Rosen- berger, A. P. Brubaker, L. G. Musser, G. C. Kiefer, T. W. Powers, L. M. McFall, l. A. Topper, R. A. Stewart, C. H. Harbaugh, and D. G. Metheny. Since its beginning the fraternity has enjoyed an active participation in the academic, social, and professional affairs of Iefferson Medical College. The roll call now bears the names of three hundred and ninety-five initiates. Among Rho's many sponsors and advisors, Dr. Randle C. Rosenberger stands foremost in the affection and respect of the members. Other members of the National Fraternity whose names are representative of the high ideals which motivated its founding are: Sir William Osler, Harvey Cushing, Hans Zinsser, Frederick Novy, Torrald Sollman, Allan B. Kanavel, Frederick Chris- topher, Rudolph Matas, Albert I. Ochsner, William H. Park, and Dean Lewis. ln cooperation with other medical fraternities with high ideals, Nu Sigma Nu will ever strive to maintain high standanrds of scholarship and medical ethics and to further the advancement of medical science. 203 fi ..

Hagar ALPHA KAPPA KAPPA was organized on September 29, 1888, at Dartmouth Medical School in Hanover, N. H., based upon the broad principles of Social intercourse, mental development, scholarship, and mutual assistance. The original purpose was not to create a national fraternity, but subsequent developments made that desirable so that at present the fraternity has fifty-nine chapters, of which forty-nine are active. This includes a chapter at McGill University, making the fraternity international in scope. The Iefferson Chapter was organized at the close of the last century and instituted as the Epsilon Chapter, Ianuary 6, 1900. The present house is owned by the chapter and stands on the site formerly occupied by the Philadelphia Almshouse, the scene of the reunion of the two Arcadian Sweethearts in Long- fellow's Evangeline Among Epsilon's illustrious alumni who have held positions on the faculty of Iefferson Medical College might be mentioned: I. C. Wilson, W. W. Keen, I. W. Holland, E. P. Davis, I. C. Da Costa, P. X. Dercum, F. T. Stewart, F. F. Hansell, I. C. Keeler, E. Q. Thornton, I. M. Fisher, H. A. Wilson, E. I. Klopp, W. F.

Suter 206 PHI Beta Pi was established at the Western Pennsylvania Medical College, now the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, on March 10, 1891. it Was founded by a group of fifteen men who banded themselves together in pro- test against the abuses of the medical fraternity and medico-political situation existing at that time. Continually since then the organization has maintained its tradition of informal protest against medico-political abuse. The original meeting Was held in the room of lames E. Vogan and Elmer E. Wible, corner of Penn Avenue and 26th Street, Pittsburg, and was presided over by Iohn Hawkins. Most of the men were senior medical students. Iames Vogan was elected president, Iohn Hawkins, vice-president, and G. M. Scott. secretary. From such a beginning and with such a tradition, has come Phi Beta Pi, with 40 active chapters and a membership of over 18,000 of Whom over 1,200 served in the World War. 1n 1932 the amalgamation of the former Omega Upsilon Phi Fraternity with Phi Beta Pi resulted in an increase in the member- ship of the national organization of from fourteen to eighteen thousand. There are at present over eleven hundred active members in the various medical schools throughout the country. The Eta Chapter of the Phi Beta Pi Medical Fraternity was first organized on March 7, 1902. The Chapter House was previously located at 919 Spruce Street, but because of the rapid increase in the number of members, larger quarters were needed, and on March 1, 1928, the Chapter moved to its present location at 1032 Spruce Street. 207 . , V me 'PSFL J 0 l In V S Y 6 JI lf aux.

The Eastern Fra- terity was founded in 1889 and the Southern Fraternity in 1894. The fraternity has progressed from that time until, at the present, it is the largest of the medical fraternities. There are 05 active chapters and over 19,000 members. Chi of Phi Chi was organized December 9, 1903, by Harry Carey, Elarn Fredericksson, Howard Fortner, Wi11iam Heisey, Walter E11is, Harry Stewart, and Louis Heimer. Chi was granted a charter as the ninth chapter of Phi Chi on February 16, 1904, at the eighth annual meeting of the Grand Chapter at Louisville, Kentucky. At this time there was no chapter house but meetings were held in the rooms of the various members and at the end of the first year the membership had increased to twelve. With the continued growth of Chi a hall at Broad and Columbia was rented. A few years later a chapter house was rented on South Tenth Street, greatly strengthening the chapter. Sti11 1ater the chapter rented a house on Spruce Street near Eieventh. Cn May 12, 1920, the present house at 1025 Spruce Street was purchased. The chapter is governed by a Board of Trustees composed of Dr. Rankin, Dr. Kaufman, and Dr. LeFever. 209 pw. G 1, l I l l ,c Thomas Aceto, M.D. J. F. Coppolino, M.D. P. J. Kennedy, M.D. N. M.

Little did this group realize that their humble efforts would lead to the splendid organ- ization of today, with its forty-three active chapters and 13,600 members scat- tered over the entire globe. On February 27, 1905, a group of men composed of Sheldon, Murray, Chalker, Watson, Shaw, Week, Martin, Hannick, Talley, Ainsley, Garret, Sliven- thal, C'Malley, Weiland and lves was granted a charter as Rho Chapter of Phi Rho Sigma. The original Chapter house was located at 701 Fine Street, but after several years it was moved to more commodious quarters at 1015 Pine Street. Then came the warg to compile a list of the members of Rho who aided their country at this time would be a roll call of the Alumni Members. lt is to be pointed out, however, that Lindsey Whiteside, an alumnus of Iefferson and a member of Rho Chapter, was the only Officer of the United States Army Medical Corps who went down in the line of active duty. The Fraternity is indeed proud of the valiant efforts of her men in the cause of the welfare of mankind. Today we find Rho Chapter, having kept pace with the Mother Organiza- tion for the thirty-three years since her founding, one of the most active student groups at lefferson. lts home today may be found in the peace and quiet of Clinton Street, a haven for scholars and gentlemen engaged in the ardous task of fitting themselves to be worthy of assuming the obligations and cloak of a true follower of l-lippocrates. 211 I ,4 za ka Q .1 a ygiegmzi F2153 i sifala ,fa .

Rossman 212 T HE Phi Delta Epsilon Fraternity had its beginning in 1903 at the Cornell Uni- versity Medical School, where a group of students headed by Aaron Brown organized the Alpha Chapter. Chapters were organized at the medical schools in rapid succession until now there are chapters at fifty-four medical schools in the United States and Canada, and graduate clubs in the leading cities of our own and foreign countries. The Iefferson Chapter, Mu, was organized by eight students on November 15, 1911. There were three fraters in facultate: Drs. Leon Solis-Cohen, Nathan Blumberg, and M. A. Weinstein. The original chapter house was at 631 Spruce Street, but in 1924 the fraternity moved to a new house at 910 Pine Street. ln the fall of 1932, it again moved to the present house at 1033 Spruce Street. Two members of Mu Chapter, Dr. David W. Kramer and Dr. N. Blumberg, have been honored with the highest office in the fraternity, that of Grand Coun- sel. Numerous others have served in various capacities. The lefferson Chapter has been instrumental in installing chapters at the University of Pennsylvania, Temple University, and at the 1-lahnemann Medical College, and has been closely associated with the Philadelphia Phi Delta Epsi- lon Graduate Club. The Phi Delta Epsilon Fraternity feels singularly honored in the appointment of one of its members to the position of Professor of Neurol- goy, which became effective with the opening of sessions in September, 1938, when Dr. Bernard M. Alpers was introduced to the students in the above capacity. At present the Mu Chapter has twenty active members and fifteen fraters in facultate. 213 nrunii Hr A IEE Wifi hz? J. R. D. P. C. J. R. T.

Hawkins J. Ruth FROM its beautiful new home in the sacrosanct atmosphere of historic Clinton Street, Theta Kappa Psi looks back to a Thanksigving Day in New Haven, in 1879, for its organization. lt soon appeared at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, and from then on its development was rapid. The lefferson chapter, Beta Eta, appeared on this campus in 1912, and since then her history has been studded with the names of men whose renown in medicine has been well noted. The first chapter house was located at 912 Spruce Street, and it was here that David B. Morgan became a member. His name is synonymous with the early development of this chapter, and it was through his efforts that the Hawk Biochemical Society was established. Among other graduate members whose interest in the fraternity has been a source of its well-being may be mentioned Dr. Paul Stroup and Dr. Theodore Petter, for many years editor of the Theta Kappa Psi Messenger. A new residence was soon chosen for the chapter and after living at 245 South Thirteenth Street, the chapter moved to 908 Pine Street. From this loca- tilon, there was another exodus and Beta Eta became entrenched at 1927 Spruce Street. After many long and peaceful years the urge to migrate again afflicted the fraternity and with the purchase of the present residence the members moved in on lanuary 8, 1933, and the new home gradually became settled. Notwithstanding its peregrinations for so many years, the members of the fraternity found time to graduate and at the same time organize various of the outstanding lefferson societies. Among these are the popular Moon Patholog- ical Society organized in 1927 and the Bland Obstetrical Society in 1925, the formation of which was a product of the incentive of Dr. Petter, at the time an under-graduate. Later Dr. Bland requested that the name of the society be changed to the Vaux Obstetrical Society. 215 i902 G ff Alpha Qmeqd Alpha P. Brooke Bland, M.D. Charles W. Bonney, M.D. Howard H.

Schaeffer A-LPHA OMEGA ALPHA is a non-secret honorary medical fraternity. It was organized at the College of Medicine of the University of Illinois, Chicago, August 25, 1902, and is the only fraternity of its kind in medical schools in North America. Admission to the society is based on: scholarship, character, personality, and leadership. Its purpose is to promote high ideals of thought and action in medical pursuits and to encourage medical research. At the turn of the century, with an increase in the length of the session and the increased number of sessions of attendance required for graduation from the medical college, with the graded curriculum and with the basing of medical teaching on scientific methods, there was a beginning of scholarship among medical students. Hence, in l902, a group of students headed by William W. Root organized an honorary medical society at the University of Illinois. As Dr. Root continued as the fostering parent of the society until his death in l932, he is considered the founder of the society. In the later months of IQUZ, a second chapter of Alpha Omega Alpha Was organized at Rush Medical College. In 1903, Chapters Were installed at North- Western Medical College, Western Reserve, Iefferson Medical College, and the University of Pennsylvania. By l9lO, there Were fifteen active chapters, and at the present time there are forty-two active chapters in the leading medical schools of the United States and Canada. The membership of Alpha Omega Alpha includes many of the distinguish- ed men in professional practice and research in all parts of the World. The Iefferson Chapter, the fifth in order of establishement, has always been active, and includes many men now serving in teaching capacities at the College. 217 F. Bauer J. Bigley W. Browne P.

Sent by Dr.. Smith. lnterne: Dr. Hister. Transferred to Drs.: Nellsin, Brown-sequard, Ziehl-Neelson. Date Admitted: September l937. Date Discharged: ??? CC: Sees fuzzy burrs and micelles-duration 20 years Loss of memory for cyclic formulas-l year Mispells Words-l year Flight of ideas-all his life Delerium tremens-last Saturday night H.P.l.: The patient's symptoms date back 20 years to the time when he first began to campaign for Tony Galento as senator to Congress on the Greek Platform, At this time he began to have periodic monthly spells during which he saw fuzzy burrs and colloidal gold particles dancing in front of his eyes. The patient states that he was symptom free until a year ago when he began to mispell words and forgot how to write simple cyclic formulae, such as those for sodium chloride and water. This loss of memory has become steadily worse and followed a period of incarceration in jail as punishment for selling Reichert Meisel and Iodine numbers to medical students. All his life he has had a flight of ideas, but this has steadily progressed so that at present he borders on hypermania with involutional melancholic psychotic trends. Last Saturday night after a drinking party, given by L. Handsome who is said to have swum under water to get into this country, who is serving as Professor of Physiological Graphic Formulas of the Hefferson Medi- cal College, he noticed a slight touch of delerium trimmins the follow- ing morning and claims that he was rolled by one of the trustees and relieved of twenty cents and three Erlenmeyer flasks. P.M.H.: Chicken Pax-l937 Sniffles-1938 Alopecia areota following a severe attack of Barbers itch in 1938 Sigmoidoscopic tonsillectomy-at age of one month Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy-l938 Cthis statement is very question- able, but patient states he knows they did something to his vitals when a partially bald doctor who continually mumbled something about the importance of staining urinary sediment, operated upon himl. No history of chancre, night sweats or hot flashes. p 238 The patient is a partially bald, well nourished, athletic type of indi- vidual who seemed comfortably situated in a Sitz bath at the time of the examination. The head shows one gross abnormality in that the occipital protuberance is exceptionally prominent. This may be due. however, to the presence of an intracranial caput succedanum that is attempting to open the window of the fourth ventricle, i. e. the foramen of Winslow. Eyes: Pupils react to light and accommodation. Fundi show that the optic nerve heads are being choked by the blind spots. The ves- sels appear as straight as the gait of a tabetic. Ears: Negative but large. Nose: Negative for pathology although the patient thinks it should be amputated because it smells. Pharnyx: No mucous patches or Koplik spots visible. Chest: There is a bilateral double rachitic rosary. The cardiac Al. is neither visible, palpable, nor audible. There is a subacute pre- systolic murmur at the apex transmitted to the left groin. Due to the fact the heart was so small the cardiac borders could be per- cussed only by Dr. Hister and our eminent chief Dr. Nellsin. Abdomen: Two large gas bubbles were felt in the R.L.Q., however this may be the appendix-We don't know yet. A mid-line scar is present which extends from the symphysis pubic to the angle of Sieson's duct. Our eminent chief Dr. Nellsin felt the gall blad- der and detected some slight impairment of peristaltic movement with delayed emptying time. Extremities: Negative except for a slight genu valga that is possibly explainable on an extracurricular nocturnal basis. Laboratory Studies: Electrocardiogram: There is a left axis deviation with marked blunting of the calicyes. We interpret this to mean that all bets should be placed on Digitalis who is running in the third race at Saratoga next week. Wassermann-Negative. Kahn-Negative. W Colostrum Sedimentation time-20 seconds. X-ray of the Skull-Dr. Dornblum has enclosed a copy of the roentgen- ogram Cyou may obtain a copy by mailing 5c to the superintend- ent of the collegel. Dr. Dornblum says: There is a large homo- geneous mass present at the base of the brain that is evidently a fecolith impacted in the circle of Willis which also shows a mild degree of circus movement and lateral squint. In the posterior fossa the cranial markings are unlike any we have ever seen or ever hope to see again. There is some evidence of increased in- tracranial pressure, but we are at a loss to adequately explain this at the present time. There is strong evidence to support the view that this patient's head may have been formerly used by a crystal gazer. We suggest that the patient be institutionalized and that a complete G.I. series, a cystemal tap, and a biliary drainage ' 239 be done as soon as possible before post mortem. The following plan of active treatment might be of definite value: ill region t.i.d. Helpful-short wave diathermy applied to the occipital l2J Palliative--blue effluve or high frequency current once a week. Turpentine stupe-continuously.

That was the story we were told, That oft repeated story of oldy- The times have changed and so have we, As you, who scan these lines shall see. This year, you see a haggard man, No carefree boy with cheeks of tan, Spring from his bed at break of day Pause not to eat but speed away To get to Ieff's famed second story And enter into a laboratory. He enters in and heaves a sigh, Then strokes a hand upon his thigh, He doffs his coat and lights a fag His spirits droopg his eyelids sag He hears a noise, a door is broaching Who is this person now approaching?

The first of the ten was spent in blissful glee, Finding all the new things there was to see. A drawer full of tools of various kinds, Impressed themselves upon our minds And brand new shelves, lockers, and such, Too shiney and nice for poor clerks to touch. All this splendor provided an ideal clime, To wile away much unoccupied timeg Here, between two students, much could be said, The one driving, while the other spread. And so We looked forward to many pleasant weeks Of verbigerous toiling in these laboratory sneaks. But alas and alack!

They recognized his acumen in diagnosis and his skill in the treatment of the surgical patient. It has not taken the students long to see that here is a man who is a master of his subject and to quickly grasp the surgical principles which he so simply and clearly points out to them. His diversions have been many: Stamp collecting, photographing, books, cards, fishing and golf. ln the earlier years of practice there was a Weekly game of Skat on Saturday night with Lankenau Hospital cronies. As he grew more discriminating, he turned to golf. He is a hustler on the golf course as well as in the clinic. When a shot is to be made he picks his club, takes his stance and bang! the ball is flying over the fairway and on the pin every bit of the way. On the putting green he plops them into the mole. There is a regular foursome, Saturday and Sunday afternoons. George keeps the score and anyone may learn how many strokes he took on any hole, on any after- noon, in any month, in any year. The cards have been filed! Dr. Muller married Helen Ramsey of Danville, Pennsylvania, September 20th, 19057 they have four children, two grandchildren. His residence is at 1930 Spruce Street, Philadelphia, Pa. He is a proud and devoted head of the familyp he provides everything good for the members of his household and there is a fine camaraderie between them. George Muller is a delightful companion and a good friend. The dedication of this book to him is an honor that he well deserves. 5ZO0A6 JM. 5'!Ifl.4J7dCA 256 Seniors on Call This saga of child-birth is written by moribund senior in a state of toxic psychosis following twelve outside deliveries. The intimate details and anec- dotes contained herein, while not to be found in any worthwhile text book of obstetrics, may serve to prepare those worthies who follow in our footsteps. At least it will help fill up the Year Book. To be properly appreciative and sympathetic, let us assume you have been selected to deliver this case. So settle back in your soft chair, turn your radio down, accommodate your myopic eyes to this fine print and join me in a trip to fairyland. All ready? Let's go. lt is Thursday, lanuary 5th, 1940, 3 a.m. and the story opens with our hero quietly asleep in bed. All is quiet inside the fraternity house, outside there is a steady downpour of rain and sleet. You are unaware of this because you are still sleeping. The phone bell rings. and its shrill jingle sends a chill running up and down your spine. You open one blood-shot eye and look across at your partner, hoping he has the fortitude to jump out of bed. The bell con- tinues to ring but no response from the other bed. This incessant ringing can- not continue and the realization slowly penetrates a somewhat edematous brain that it rests with you and you alone to answer that phone. You exhaust your armamentarium of blasphemy and descend the stepswith an ataxic gait. Having negotiated the distance between your bed and the phone you lift the receiver hoping against hope that there must be some mistake. You listen, and through a clouded sensorium you hear the following, Iefferson Maternity Calling.. We have an outside case for you. You mumble incoherently and ascend the steps to your room, cursing the fates responsible for this turn of events. Lying in bed is your partner, a picture of debauchery. With a sadistic leer you shake him, still not quite certain in your own mind that he did not hear the bell. He awakens, and with a malevolent grin you inform him of the good news. Dressing together, you adopt an indifferent air, but beneath that calm ex- terior a mighty struggle is going on. You try to recall those gems of wisdom and experience handed out during the third and fourth years in Obstetrics, but alas, your mind is a blank. Then in kaleidoscopic form you visualize all those terrible calamities of obstetrics: fear presentation, breech, ruptured uterus, shock, hemorrhaage, still-birth, and nausea. You swallow the lumb in your throat and casually remark to your partner, do you want this one? l'll take the next. He ducks that nicely with a never mind, you take it. So you flip and take tails as the coin spins lazily in mid-air. As it nestles in your palm, the eagle glares maliciously, you . After a hurried trip to the hospital you find yourself on the third floor where an efficient but unsympathetic nurse hands you a white slip and an obstetric bag weighing at least 75 lbs. ln an effort to present that savoir-faire you drop an inane remark, and take your leave, walking on a bias because of the bag. The elevator man grins spitefully and you find yourself leaving the hospital for a marvelous adventure. A chilly blast greets you, but being made of hardy stock, you suppress a shudder and buck the storm. The instructions on the white slip tell you to take a trolley to Fairmount Avenue, then transfer to somewhere in West Philadelphia. You take courage in the thought that your partner is likewise suffering. Standing on the corner also awaiting a trolley is one of those rare species of nite-life. ln an effort to be friendly, he becomes plati- tudinous with a terrible night to be out . I'll certainly be glad to get home soon. Your eyes now resemble limpid pools, they're so watery. Agreeing with him, into your mind's eye comes a picture of your sanctum sanctorumn which never before appeared so desirable. After an interminable wait in the blizzard, the trolley arrives and you mount with your new-found friend. After a short ride you again find yourself on a corner awaiting another trolley. This one comes rather quickly, only a half- hour wait. Total time consumed riding-20 minutes. Total time consumed waiting-45 minutes. The motorman dumps you unceremoniously somewhere in West Philadelphia with meager instructions which are followed and you find yourself on the steps of the house, ringing a bell which doesn't ring. A few lusty knocks on the door brings a quick response, and a kerosene lamp de- scends the stairs accompanied by a prospective father who turned out to be quite a prospector. Q Papa pulls you up short with the joyous remark, Ah'm sho' glad they sent reg'lar doctors and not internes . Poor deluded papa. He was fooled by the civilian clothes. You naturally inform him that you are not even an interne- or don't you. The room is where you expect it to be, on the second floor front. lt says so in the books. But what it doesn't say in the books is that the room is overflowing with children, there is no light, and that you are still trying to re- callvthose lectures. You ask hopefully whether the baby is born yet, and a negative reply depresses you still further. ln an attempt to appear profes- sional, instructions are given in rapid-fire succession. Boil some water, get some newspapers, bring a bucket and an ironing board, and clear the kids out of the room. . All but the latter had already been done and the family looks to you for some useful aid. The mother is instructed to raise herself so that an ironing board may be placed under the mattress. She moans and insists, ah can't do it Doc , raising herself in the meantime. The floor is pre- pared with newspaper and you proceed to examine the patient.. A general inspection convinces even you that the woman is pregnant. So far so good. You diagnose the lie and presentation and listen for the fetal heart sounds which turn out to be on the side opposite to which they should be ac- cording to your diagnosis. Your faith in your ability suffers its first rude set- back. Blood pressure, temperature, etc. are taken while you marshall your wits. A side-bar conference with your assistant indicates a rectal examination at this point. lt is done and you learn absolutely nothing. Mama might be completely dilated but you wouldn't know it. What you do learn is that a bowel movement may be expected at any moment, but unfortunately credit is not given for delivering bowel movements. Mama continues to groan, and you continue to bemoan the fates that brought you here. Your partner notices a bulging in the perineum and quick- ly calls your attention to it. You decide to shave the patient and prepare a sterile field. ln the light of flickering kerosene lamp our hero does this and the deathly quiet isbroken occasionally by a metallic ping as the blade whips through some unusually wiry hair. You instinctively reach for some after-shave lotion and face powder but stop in mid-air, realizing the futility of such a gesture. But what is this? Withlevery pain a tell-tale bulging appears. Can this be the'crowning of the vulva ? You scrub frenziedly, clipping twelve minutes off the previous record. You quickly don a gown and sterile gloves and just as quickly become unsterile. All is ready now. You congratulate yourself on perfect timing and confidently await the birth of the child. Your assistant smokes sterile cigarettes but you dare not. You watt-15 minutes-30 minutes-one hour-two hours, yet with every pain there is that bulging. ln the meantime you must stand and be careful not to touch a thing. Dear readers, have you ever been sterile and forced to stand hours without touching a thing? Then perhaps you can understand the murderous thoughts racing through our hero's mind. Suddenly the light dawns, both outside and in your mind. You examine the patient closely and the realization of what is taking place makes you want to scream, for what you interpreted as the crowning of the vulva, proved to be an enormous cystocoele and rectocoele. Off comes the gown and gloves and you join your partner for a smoke, and while you are smoking a baby is born. In response to frantic appeals from the laborer, you rush over, sans gown. sans gloves, in time to get a gush of amniotic fluid over your clothes which marks your baptism under fire. You make a secret vow to check upon your serology. The baby boy is handed over to your assistant who flicks his cigarette into a sterile basin. You watch the cord. The cord advances and you close in, eyeing it warily. Bracing your legs against the edge of the bed and taking a firm grip on the cord with both hands, you yank. Mama is pulled by the force to the edge of the bed and you shove her back. Evidently this is wrong. Now you recall- Crede Expression . You make a dash for the fundus and squeeze as you would a watermelon seed and are rewarded with a neat plop as the placenta drops into the bucket. You recall the joke about throwing away the baby and saving the placenta. A cursory examination reveals a normal pla- centa. You instruct the midwife to hold on to the fundus and turn to the baby which your assistant has all but drowned with salt solution intended for the babies eyes. The baby is properly cared for and you turn to complete the necessary secretarial work. Now a name for the child. Neither of the parents had given it any thought. Had it been a girl you might have suggested Melena, or Fallopia, or possibly Louise fLuesl, or named her after your favorite girl friend or waitress. But it being a boy you decide to make a beautiful gesture and name it after one of your professors. None of the names suggested seems to appeal to the parents. You run the whole gamut of famous names in medicine-Stokes-Adams, Cheyne-Stokes, and finally ring the bell with the impressive name of Andy Pardum lones . A final check up convinces you that all is well and you take your leave, accepting with nonchalance the good wishes and thanks of the parents. lt is 7.30 a.m. when you finally get home to bed, exhausted from your night's work. You close your eyes and smile peacefully. You finally fall asleep in spite of the bustling activity in the house. Your heavenly sleep is interrupted with a shrill ring and the mere thought of going out again brings forth uncon- trollable tachycardia and diaphoresis. You pick up the receiver with a shaking hand and through the roaring in your ears, you hear Hlefferson Maternity call- ing, we have an outside case for you. Your fraternity brothers find you two hours later, stark-raving mad. And that, dear readers, is the saga of child birth. Thrilling? Yes. Ad- venturous? Yes. Would you care to repeat it? NO. . HARRY KORNFIELD 40 The Clinical Clerkship lt is axiomatic that most any system of learning will work with ideal teach- ers and ideal students, but we do not live in such an Utopia. ln substituting the clinical clerkship system for the old Ward-Walk system used at lefferson, the committee assigned the task tried particularly not to mistake change for progress. We Were not especially concerned with any specific system, but with some arrangement by which the student would have better opportunities for learning. The plan Which seemed to be best suited to this purpose is known as the Clinical Clerkship. It seemed to us that the old mode of teaching in the wards was not much different from the didactic lectures in the amphitheatres, and that the student instead of being talked to for hours should be given defi- nite responsibilities in the history taking, examination, diagnosis, and manage- ment of as many patients in the Wards as his time permits. By assuming such responsibility a student acquires first hand experience in clinical medicine, is made to feel that he is an integral part of the service and soon enters into the spirit of the Work. I-le, therefore, learns actively instead of passively which is in general the goal of education. The clinical clerkship may perhaps be regarded as a junior internship in which the student takes a patient's history, examines him, does Whatever lab- oratory Work is essential in an average clinical laboratory, is present at con- sultations and necropsies, is free to visit and get data from the pathologic and roentgenographic departments, and ,follows the general management of his patient. The history and progress notes he makes may be accepted as the of- ficial hospital record. His laboratory Work is part of the permanent record. The student's Work is scrutinized daily and informally by a member of the staff. The student is also present at several formal functions held by the hospital staff. These consist of formal presentations of patients at rounds , a roentgenologic conference and a pathologic conference each one hour a week, in each of which the student participates actively. Attempts are made to train students to pre- sent cases formally in a clear, concise, interesting and informative manner, either in brief or in detail, as they may be expected to do the rest of their medi- cal career. ' ln the near future l hope to make further changes in the curriculum of the Medical Department. It would seem highly desirable to introduce the third year students to the Wards as clinical clerks, postponing assignments to the Out- patient Department to the fourth year. Third year students can more leisurely be introduced to clinical medicine under the close supervision of the Hospital Staff, they can follow the more easily recognized or fully developed diseases and can repeat any required procedures for diagnosis if necessary. After this experience they are better able to appreciate and to profit from the more hur- ried and less supervised type of work in an active Out-patient Department. In addition the Out-patient Department Staff obtains better Work from better train- ed students. Everyone concerned seems to profit. The proposed plan is especially advantageous in medicine and pediatrics but not in surgery, obstetrics and gynecology. Ward service in the latter de- partments is considerably more complicated, and Gut-patient service consider- ably simpler than in medicine so that the present arranement seems to suit them better. The Whole idea is to provide circumstances best suited to the student to prepare himself for his futureinternship and medical practice. ' . , H. A. REIMANN, Mn.

The exact tests evolved in the clinical and experimental laboratories, of which there are many, when intelligently correlated with the history and physical findings, permit of greater accuracy in diagnosis and prognosis and of greater exactitude in therapy than ever known before. The many agents for inducing anesthesia, with or without the employment of synergistic drugs, allow a selec- tion of the one best suited to the patient and the disease, while contributing materially both to comfort and safety. The brilliance of the accomplishments in the highly specialized fields of surgery is but enhanced by the former belief that they were unattainable. Thoracic surgery now offers repair of cardiac wounds, pericardiectomy in Pick's disease, an experimental effort to supple- ment coronary circulation, pneumonectomy in whole or in part for the relief of bronchiectasis and tumor, and collapse therapy for pulmonary tuberculosis by means of intrapleural pneumolsis, extrapleural apicolysis, interruption of the phrenic nerve and thoracoplasty partial or complete. Neurosurgery success- fully ventures the exploration of the innermost recesses of the brain for the re- lief of pressure and the removal of tumors, even daring the ablation of a lobe or of an entire hemisphere. Sympathectomy finds an ever widening field of usefulness in correcting disorders dependent upon perverted nerve function and impeded vascular channels. The era of speed and the removal of large portions of the bodp to get rid of a small diseased part has been superseded by a careful, meticulous technic which sacrifices no healthy tissue and considers every cell valuable unless diseased. The trend toward the preservation of h.ealthy tissue is well illustrated by the employment of irradiation in the therapy of certain neoplasms, both benign and malignant. Well established major surgical procedures have been abandoned in the search for simpler methods which will reduce mortality and morbidity as instanced in the transurethral re- section of the prostate and the injection of sclerosing substances in various con- ditions. Chemical research is responsible for much of the changing order in medicine. It has altered our conceptions of the physical structure of living tissue, has shown the chemical changes which take place in the discharge of body and organ functions, and increased our knowledge of the chemical sub- stances which may control such activities. The relation of the diseases of metabolism and nutrition to vitamin deficiency and hormonal dysfunction, the role of the pancreas in carbohydrate metabolism, of the liver and stomach in hematopoiesis, of the hypophysis in influencing growth and obesity, and of the thyroid in influencing metabolism are beautiful illustrations of the knowl- edge garnered by this type of research. Increasing knoweldge of the endo- crine hormones is opening up a field for study and therapy which, if one may venture a prophecy, is but in its infancy. Pneumonia for the first time in its history is being made to give ground by accurate typing and appropriate sera and chemitherapy. Modern medical thought with relation to the infectious dis- eases is first directed toward prophylaxis. Failing this ideal, a specific rem- edy, either chemical or biologic, is sought. The present wave of sulfonamide therapy evinces the eagerness with which the profession awaits any chemical or serum purported to possess specific properties. The fact that heart disease after the age of 40 is the leading cause of death has focused attention on its prevention, early detection and proper treatment. It is interesting to note that 258 total thyroidectomy is being practiced in congesive heart failure with the idea of lessening metabolism and thus decreasing the cardiac load, another instance of the physiological approach to the solution of medical problems. Psychiatry throughout the past century has been a veritable terra incog- nita : only when the injunction, sit lux , of modern science was applied to it has it emerged from the gloom and darkness with which it was enshrouded. Asylums were but domicilary institutions for the confinement of the mentally ill. From these archaic structures modern hospitals are arising, staffed by compe- tent medical personnel, registered nurses and aides versed and trained in psychiatry, meeting the challenge of the disordered mind with an orderly mind skilled in the application of scientific, psychiatric knoweldge. While the in- creasing number of restorations to community usefulness has been most grati- fying, it is recognized that the most important improvement in the future will come through the application of mental hygiene to individuals before they reach the institutional stage. ln the earlier development of medical science emphasis in developing the concept of disease was placed on organic struc- tural change, to which has been added today the broader concept of distress of the person as a Whole. Increasing civilization, with its economic, social, physical and mental complexities, has led to greater sensitivity to environment with the development of certain inadequacies or neuroses characterized by emotional disturbances, anxiety states, maladjustments, inferiority complexes, unconscious self-expression, undue pessimism and mental depression. The population of our mental hospitals draws largely from this group, the size of which may confidently be expected to decrease with a wider use of modern psychiatric knowledge. One of the most significant trends is to be found in preventive medicine. While the major responsibility in this field devolves upon the Unted States Public Health Service and the State and County Health Officers, the physician in practice has come to a realization that his obligation to society demands an extension of activity far beyond the intimate personal relationship between the individual patient and himself to the broader field of preventive medicine, widening his sphere of responsibility from the care of patients to that of the community of which the patients are a part. An interested lay public partici- pates in this program through many worthwhile organizations. Legal enact- ments permitting sterilization of the unfit and requiring a clean bill of health on the part of those who would enter the marriage state, while more specifically in the field of eugenics, give further evidence of lay interest. lt has been truly said that preventive medicine forms the keystone of the triumphal arch of modern civilization since the prevention of disease, and therefore the preven- tion of suffering and death, is a more important and glorious achievement than the cure of the individual or the reduction of disease mortality. A noteworthy accomplishment, largely attributable to prevention, has been the increase in life expectancy which now stands at 62 years. But this indicates that we are slowly developing a society in which old age with its degenerative lesions will represent a constantly increasing percentage of disease. The medical profession is in possession of a vast amount of scientific knowledge of huge potential benefit to the public which awaits a rise in the intellectual level of the latter permitting of its application. The cause of syphilis was discovered in l905, the serum diagnosis of it introduced in 1906 and specific medication for it brought out in l9lUp yet only in 1937 has the word syphilis been permitted in the public press and on the 259 radio. For years every physician has sensed the ravages of the social dis- eases and the beneficent results that would follow their eradication or control, but it remained for Surgeon General Parran to force this recognition upon a prudish, recalcitrant public. The campaign being waged against this disease represents an important and an advanced step in preventive medicine. Syph- ilis differs from the majority of infectious diseases in that it is a chronic affec- tion, often latent for many years, during which the infected individual is un- aware of his danger and is capable of transmitting the disease. lt is responsi- ble for more miscarriages and still births than all other diseases put together. The late conditions are often of the most devastating kind-locomotor ataxia, general paralysis of the insane, disease of the heart and blood vessels. ln the Wards for chronic nervous disease in our hospitals and in the institutions for the insane it looms large as a feeder for both. lt is held responsible for more than l0 per cent of all insanity, and 7 per cent of all diseases of the heart and blood vessels. Moreover, syphilis has a far greater tendency to affect the off- spring than any other disease. At present six and a half million men, women and children are judged to be infected with syphilis in the United States and 578,000 new cases are said to occur every year, offering a fertile field not only for curative medicine, but for the application of the knowledge possessed by the profession in interrupting its development and spread. Equally impressive data might be given regarding cancer, tuberculosis, pneumonia and heart disease, illness which yearly take an unwonted toll in our population, affording instances of specific disease problems susceptible of reduction by putting into wide practice the measures to which they are amenable. The compilation and interpretation of vital statistics accurately records the progress in medical science as shown by the raising or lowering of the general health level, indicating the measures most effective in combating specific dis- eases. The result is that nowadays we do not have to guess, for instance, that cancer is curable-we know that it is and can cite actual figures running into the thousands of cases cured when recognized in time and treated according to tested methods. The responsibility for the advancement of medical lore rests solely on the professiong its chief capital investment is represented by the constantly ac- cumulating body of knowledge stored in the minds, ideals and traditions and in the publications of the medical profession. This capital is shared freely with the public through universities, journals, discussions, the public press, radio and individual consultations. It cannot be monopolized for profitg it does not fit into the capitalistic concept of economics, yet it is the greatest asset we pos- sess. A student entering medical school at once assumes a debt to the pro- fession in that without it there would not be available any such mass of inform- ation as is needed for education. When he enters medical school and begins to use this store of knowledge, he enters into an implicit agreement which is often made an explicit pledge on graduation and licensure to pay the debt he owes to the profession by contributing in his turn to the increase of that knowl- edge and the maintenance of professional ideals. The individual physician who refuses to cooperate with professional associations wrongs himself, his profession and his patients by withholding his contribution from the common fund of knowledge while still profiting by the use of that fund. lt is interesting to note that there are in this country approximately 300 medical societies ex- clusive of the units comprised in the American Medical Association, indicating 260 a deep rooted and Widespread interest in the members of the medical profes- sion in keeping abreast of the ever advancing wedge of current medical knowl- edge. Physicians attend these societies with the aim of improving their ability to render good medical service, finding their reward in the consciousness of service, in the approval and recognition of their confreres, in the satisfaction of their own scientifcg curiosity and in the opportunity to contribute to and to use the total stock of knowledge from which all may draw. lt is also of interest to note that although the number of medical schools has been decreased by more than half, the requirements for entrance elevated, and the course of instruction augmented and prolonged, there is today approxi- mately the same number of graduates as under the old system in operation at the beginning of the century, showing that the profession of medicine continues to hold its lure as a science and art. The science of medicine is readily defin- able and as readily apprehended, the art of medicine is more elusive. The charlatan is often an expert in the art while totally lacking in the science. The scientist in practice who disregards the art, lacks the humane appeal to the personality of the patient he seeks to relieve. Dr. lames D. Heard in an ad- dress upon the Art of Medicine delivered at the Harvard University Medical School in February, i930 gave the following quotations in comparing the art with the science of medicine: Art knows little of its birth, science knows its birth: registers it and its after history. Art is founded on experience: science is antecedent to experience. Art invents: science discovers. Art comes out of darkness, goes upon its own feet, can go anywhere across the country, and hunts more by scent than by sight: science goes upon wheels but must have a road or a rail. Art furnishes a set of directions which vary with the artist and the task: science furnishes a body of connected facts which are the same for all people, circumstances and occasions. Art is often life-rented and dies with its possessor: science is transmissible. Art is completely personal, deals with actual problems of human conduct from economic, psychological and legal as well as from medical points of view: science is entirely impersonal, proceeds in an orderly manner toward the establishment of a cause, and, if possible, to a remedy for disease. Art shows the how and cares less for the why: science says little as to the how but much as to the why. Art runs for the stomach pump While science studies the phenomena of the poisoning. Wisdom is the vital union of art and science. lt is more excellent than either: wisdom is the body animated by the soul, and the will knowing what to do and how to do it. Art is often the strong blind man on whose shoulder the lame and seeing man is crossing the river. ln treating the sick these two essential components of medicine must be kept balanced, if we are to realize as a pro- fession our greatest usefulness. No amount of scientific efficiency can take the place of sympathy, kindness, pitv and cheerful hope in the dark hours of sick- ness and 'sorrow that inevitablv come to all. President Eliot of Harvard said: ln these intangible things are found the durable satisfactions of life: game dies and honors perish, but loving kindness is immortal. The dissemination of medical knowledge, while primarily a responsibility of the profession, is one gloriously shared by lay organizations. Among those devoting unselfish efforts in this direction may be mentioned the Women's Field Army of the American Society for the Control of Cancer, the 'various Tuberculosis Associations, the League for the Prevention of Blind- ness, the Association of Mental Hygiene, the Parent-Teachers Association, the Women's Auxiliaries to various National bodies and others of similar character which are rendering excellent service. Under proper guidance these organi- 261 zations have been able to bring to the public factual data and knowledge con- cerning disease which has enabled the profession to apply more efficiently its constantly increasing fund of medical science. The cooperation of the public with the votaries of medical science beautifully illustrates the possibilities and the benevolence of contributions by the profession to the public combined with contributions by the public to the profession. The one furnishing the scientific knowledge and technical means of treatment, the other philanthropically giv- ing, its time, effort and financial support, both actuated by an altruistic impulse to help one's fellow man. The instances of man's inhumanity to man lose ground and perspective in the light of this magnificent example of man's hu- manity to man. Medicine is a reflex of the social conditions of the period and the cultural level ofthe people determines their type and also the quality of medical serv- ice. ln the historical development of medicine it is possible to distinguish five great opochs: l. The religious organization of medicine when the priests of the temple possessed the medical knowledge of the period. 2. The economic organization of medical practice, for in the code of Ham- murabi, about 2200 B. C., there was established for the first time in history a scale of fees, with penalties to be exacted for malpractice. 3. The ethical and moral organization of medicine with the foundation of the Hippocratic code at approximately 460 B. C. 4. The scientific organization of medicine, beginning around 1776, a per- iod remarkable for the Declaration of Independence and the widespread appli- cation of steam to industry, thus inaugurating the industrial revolution. 5. The social oraanivation of medicine. with its obligations to society. This ora began in the United States about l890 with the development of public health services for control of tuberculosis, typhoid fever, contagious and diar- rhoeal diseases of infancy and childhood. During the past fifty years the arowth and development of medical science with means for its application has been unprecedented: its accumulation has been so rapid and so evtensive as to upset all previous conceptions, both as to its acauisition and its distribution. No longer can the individual physician hope to cover the entire field, of medicine. Because of the enormous elabora- tion of the details of medicine there has been a corresponding growth of spec- ialism in practice and in research. Instruments of precision, technical ma- chines for the determination of body function and dysfunction, laboratories equipped. for the intricate tests of body tissues, fluids, secretions and excretions have been added to the meager armamentarium of fifty years ago. Hospitals at the beginning of the century were but boarding houses for the sick: today they are institutions affording not only adeauate domicilary care but, as well, expert personnel. trained nursing, competent laboratories and scientific procedures, insuring ff dispensation of hospital care on a plane fullv meeting the reauirements which hnrnanitarianism and modern medical knowl- edge demand as the uneauivocffl right of those who place their trust and Wel- fare in our hands. The origin of the word hospital is significant: it comes from the Latin word, hospes, meaning a guest: it has the same derivation as those charming words, hospitality and hospitable, and means that a patient is a guest, not a case or a specimen. or anything other than the object of whole- hearted solicitude on the part of kindly hospital folk. 262 The trained nurse has fully justified the symbolism suggested by the ety- mology of the word nurse. It also comes from the Latin, nutrio, meaning I feed. It was at first applied to the office of mothers as they fed or nursed their children at the breast, whence it came to signify the care of the helpless and dependent. Beginning with the service of the Catholic sisterhoods in times of pestilence and disaster, gaining momentum with the contribution of Florence Nightingale during the Crimean War, trained nursing has become an integral and indispensable part of medical care. The development of medical science and medical practice in the United States has been an evolutionary one, de- veloping means for meeting each need as it arose. We are now in fact the possessors of better general health, are less afflicted with disease known to be preventable, are more secure in the survival and growth of our off-spring to maturity, and have an average expectancy of life greater than that of any popu- lation group in the history of man, comparable in size, variety of races and dis- tribution in age, occupation, economic and climatic conditions. We are at the beginning of a new year, at the very zenith of a march of progress towards national health. Never before in this or any other continent have any 130,000,000 people recorded such low death rates as have been re- ported in the United States for 1938. An all time low in all diseases, except cancer and heart disease, has been attained. The explanation for the mortality from these two diseases is to be found largely in the fact that as a result of modern medical science we are developing a society in which more and more people are living to advanced years. Since both cancer and heart disease exact their greatest toll after the age of forty, an increased mortality from them is to be expected. The principles of ethics by which the medical profession is governed have been criticized by some lay people. and even by some of our own members, as obsolescent and antiquated. It is readily admitted that they are ancient, but it is submitted that they are the only ones, wheher in the ethics and eco- nomics of medicine or industry, that have stood the test of time. Contrary to the impression held in some quarters that they seek to provide emolument for the doctor, they are formulated and applied in the interest of the public the doctor serves. Section I reads as follows: A profession has for its prime object the service it can render humanity: reward or financial gain should be a subordinate consideration. The medical profession by principle and tradition is committed to the idea that the prime object , the standard of value and the social reason for its ex- istence all are one thing- the service it can render humanity . That service is further interpreted as the maintenance of health and the postponement of death. Whatever plan is proposed in regard to medical care is automatically tested and accepted or rejected by the medical profession in relation to its in- fluence on the morbidity and mortality of the community affected. While good medical service cannot be expected, unless society appreciates it sufficiently to reward it, it is equally true that a profession that seeks first financial reward becomes commercialized in spirit and mediocre or negative in scientific attain- ment. Any attempt to make the method of reward or financial gain , either to patient, physician or lay administrator, the basis of organization of medical service with domination of these considerations over medical service, or that seeks to produce and distribute such service according to competitive stand- ards of cheapness, backed by methods of salesmanship, violates the funda- mental principles of medical ethics and invites the profession to surrender its survival Values and to perish. 263 The sharpest criticism that has come from lay people, particularly the press, relates to advertising. It is apparently difficult for such critics to differentiate between industrial and commercial economics, in which commodity values are based on competitive trading, and medical ethics according to which pro- fessional service values are determined by standards of public welfare. Methods have been devised for the protection of the public health in determin- ing and enforcing standards of value and of advertising in regard to the sale of various articles, drugs, medical supplies and services purporting to be of value in treating disease. The rules adopted illustrate the application of a sys- tem of ethics based on the supreme good of protecting the public. They bar all secrecy as to ingredients and demand that claims be supported by scientific tests, that all advertising must be truthful and that drugs, the administration of which should be accompanied by medical diagnosis and supervision, be not sold directly to the public. They are simple, straight-forward rules, the social desirability of which in the whole field of advertising few would dare openly to deny. lt is equally axiomatic that they could be made legal only against the strongest possible opposition from those who profit by deceiving the con- sumer. And so on through the principles of ethics one finds definitive postu- lates drawn in the interest of good public policy and public welfare. The accomplishments, attainments and services of medicine give it a very definite position in our present day culture and justly so, since its aim is the benefit of man. Medicine is the most ancient of professions, being older than Christianity and antedating the inception of civil law. lt has its own system of rewards and punishments, its own disappointments and its own glories. lt is a profes- son that has a broadening influence on the human mind and is characterized by a most splendid charity. lt is an acquisition in the best tendencies and a pro- tection against the worst tendencies. It constructs no trustsg it founds no mon- opoliesg it excludes no qualified practitionerg it retains for its profit no valuable discovery and it has no standing room for the quack, the scoundrel and the charlatan. Its best work is done in the light which beats upon its throne, not in the arena of politics encouraged by the cheers of thousands, not in the seclu- sion of the cloister sustained by the hope of eternal joy, but in the storm and wind swept country, inthe streets of thevillage, in the boulevards of the city, on the desolate field of battle, where pain and pestilence, illness and misery are combated often with none but God to see it. lt furnishes a curiously check- ered life, a life in which storm clouds alternate with sunbeams. With the exception of the ministry, it stands closer than any other calling to the secret of eternity and watches death ever busy with her shuttle as she weaves her comber threads into the woof and warp of the affairs of men. lt seeks to mitigate human suffering, to prolong human life. These have ever been its watchwords, are still and always will be, constituting its cloud of smoke by day and its pillar of fire by night. One should enter such a profession with properly exalted ideals: with a belief in its greatness, its dignity, its stability, its real importance, its essential strength. One should resolve to learn to ob- serve, to compare, to analyze, to study, to think, to avoid formulas, to cast out sordid thoughts, to repudiate shallowness, advertising and vain pretensions. ln short, to be a worthy disciple of Aesculapius, reflecting honor and credit on the profession and deriving from it the happiness that makes life worth while, being held in grateful remembrance by those whom one has served and in respect and esteem by the confreres with and among whom one has lived and worked. 264 K I mW f,,.
