DEDICATION The first professor Temple medical students get to know, and know well, is Dr. John Franklin Huber. For thirteen years he has headed the anatomy department, introducing freshmen to medical science. Dr. Huber's aim is to present in one unified course clear concepts of human anatomy—blending gross dissection, microscopic analysis and embryologic study with reading and lectures on the separate regions of the body. His association with students is close and rewarding, as a patient guide in pointing out essential material by his questions, as an understanding listener to queries and problems, and as a genial and gracious chaperone at many class dances. Familiar to Temple medical students are Dr. Huber's clarification and descriptive nomenclature of the bronchopulmonary segments. This innovation of basic anatomical knowledge has found its way into many standard texts, having its chief clinical value in the fields of radiology, bronchoscopy, and surgery. In addition to publishing his findings, Dr. Huber has worked out exhibits, models, and a film in attempting to put across the concept of the bronchopulmonary segments. The son of a late professor and head of anatomy, scholar and teacher at Michigan, professor and head of anatomy at Temple, skilled anatomist and gifted teacher. Dr. John Franklin Huber is the humble friend to students and faculty members alike at Temple University School of Medicine.
