V Quai. 'J 'HTNVUF The Ushortsi' rotation, due to be abol- ished, will die a little lamented death. The major advantage of this collection of 10 or more classes is that most of them could, mercifully, be cut, and learned perfectly well through the Phi Chi notes. Non-compul- sives could catch up on all the sleep lost during other rotations. This is not to say that the shorts classes were not worthwhile. On the contrary, as teaching exercises, they are about average, and there certainly was something to be learned in each. But after two years of sit- ting through nearly forty classroom hours per week, three months more of the same stimulate little enthusiasm. Further, many of the courses taught deferred their clinical experience until an entire year later, at which time much material would need repe- tition. The most famous aspect of the shorts rotation is the final exam week. What is needed for it is not so much knowledge as endurance-and somehow everyone endures. In sum, thejunior year is a long and hard one. For this year'sjuniors, it has been a bit longer and harder since they are the last class to endure the system before its refor- mation. But another year in the process of becoming a physician has been completedg this basic purpose of the year has been in one way or another achieved. Few juniors would care to repeat the process, Hnew sys- tem or not, for ahead is the anticipation of but one year remaining until graduation.
