mm yy 25 ie i 1 PROF. BERL S. ALSTODT: He taught us a lot of chemistry, with time out for boobs, jackasses, and assorted forms of Dummies. We will never for- get the Boob Assignment he gave to most of us after the Midyear Exams. His philosophy throughout the Senior Year seemed to scare us into studying, and judging from the results, he did a very thorough job. K l if Twenty-two PROF. ELMER L. SARGENT: A professor in the truest sense of the word. A man, who by his very presence demands respect, not only because of his knowledge, but for the way he shares it with others. His method of teaching by associa- tion of ideas rather than by Chinese Memory is true educa- tion. Many just present material before you and expect you to grasp it, but it takes a pedagogue to teach you. PROF. COSMO LIGORIO: His name is presented in the brochure of the college suffixed by a multiplicity of degrees. In his course we were introduced to the scientific method of writing a report, determining the acoustics of a room, and most significant, memorizing a hundred or so standards. Per- haps if we would have had a few samples of his collection of fine liquor the course would have been even more enjoyable.

PROF. JAMES INGALLS: A wit who, if he chose to give up teaching this very day, could easily find himself an enviable position in the world of entertainment making people laugh. A lecturer without equal in this institution, he is a very able lab instructor as Well as investigator. His work in sulfagu- anidine won him a doctorate, and he keeps right on doing this type of scientific investigation. PROF. AUGUST E. WILKOC: He filled our junior Year with descriptions of bones, tissues, organs and a play-by-play account of all his aches and ills. In the Senior Year, in a course CPD called Tox and Pos, he taught us how to kill off our competition with one small dose. A course which was not appreciated by some other members of the faculty, who were seen testing their food for traces of cyanide, etc. MR LEO GREENBERG: One of the best liked men on the faculty. His lecture was an hour of knowledge. We would have liked to have attended a lab in the course, but, since there was no provision for a lab, it was pretty hard to at- tend one. We will always remember his company on the Lilly trip, where he displayed his usual sense of humor and good fellowship. MR. WILLIAM PEARL: His great assistance in Pharma- cology lab will always be appreciated. For this we thank him, the frogs thank him, the guinea pigs thank him and the ro- dents thank him. We will always remember his gentleness with the experimental animals. He is an able biologist, and is truly an asset to the Materia Medica Department. Twenty-one

PROF. LAWRENCE H. DALMAN: The often quoted C Join the bonds and you boys will never learnnj ping-pong and handball playing professor has affectionately been called daddy by his boys. He spoon-fed us organic chemistry be- cause, as he said himself, If I had a son at B.C.P. I would Want him to be taught like this. PROF. JAMES MILLS: Quietly, as you are using the ana- lytical balance, someone may sneak up behind you. He prob- ably has a crew-cut, wears glasses and possesses a Doctor- ate degree in Education. If you are doing something you shouldn't, you will get a minus 20 and have to give 50c to the Cancer fund. His lectures which covered subjects of philosophy and religion as well as chemistry were at times invigorating. PROF. JACK SOSINSKY: We were his virgin class and therefore hold a warm spot in his memories. He gave us a comprehensive insight into inorganic chemistry comparable to that given at the better liberal arts colleges in this area. It is a shame that the supercharged atmosphere in B.C.P. has perhaps made a nice guy so tough. Twenty-three
