T'was the tenth of September year One Nine Five Three A day of great import for C.C.'s to be Hardly a student was not of good cheer Though crocodile tears dripped in Brennan's beer. I The elder physicians now took us in hand Our services, said they, were in Great Demand. There were bottles to label and blood to be drawn And urines to do from twilight to dawn. One was on hand and two was on call Ready to go and do likewise to all. We hurried to Bellevue then back twelve to one For those Ob lectures that were not begun. Bob Atkins decided false pearls weren't for him And dropped off to sleep extending one limb, While Hi Kendall, our devoted medicine clerk Snatched just forty winks in a whole night of work. Miss Greer did not wish us to be led astray And let it be known that she ruled 1-A. ' Thane Asch in presenting found H. G. concerned That P. I. overlooked patient's works which were spurned, And LS. did not mean Lucky Strike anymore But Life Situation in medical lore. Paul Stucki felt that his share was done With one G.B. patient weighing a fifth of a ton, And weary and worn we finished at last With medicine orals soon part of the past. 72 Let's go troops

Farewell, farewell, but this I tell To thee, thou neophyte, He passeth best who worketh best Through day and gloom of night, He learneth more who readeth more Of tomes both great and small, For the great profs who teach us, Have learned, and know it all. The Ancient Grad has told his tale Tears glisten in his eyes, He gives the neophyte this hail, Go Thou and Do Likewise . The Ancient Grad, whose eye is bright, Wliose back, with work, is sore, Is gone. And now the neophyte Goes through the College door. He goes like one that hath been stunned And is of sense forlorn. A sadder, yet more spastic man, He wakes, the morrow morn. Finis 71

II Our clerkship continued through Ob-Gyn With johnson and javert increasing our ken Of sex, sports and sophistry between every slide And forceps deliveries through space just so wide. Bachmannip, they said, was the answer to all And was well overlooked by the one next on call. Isele was asked to turn in his suit While on the subject of garters john Price became mute. Dr. Sugar, will you please descend to this earth Became Given's plea as the class roared with mirth. And engraved on our minds forever will be What a placenta basin holds to the final c.c. We then went from sex to days of less guile And challenged the wiles of minds infantile, With Mercer's advice we sidled up to our prey And were kicked in the shins, such monsters were they! Are you sure, Dr. Pierik of the sex of that child? Is it johnny or joan was the question that tiled. The diapers that Stanley did change were unique He discovered, aghast, that small children did leak. Hansch volunteered as psychiatrists bait But snapped out of the spell before 'twas too late. And fired with the spirit of health for the nation Visits to Harlem were our obligation. III The surgery term was begun with a blast Dr. Wade tried to teach us axioms that last, To splint 'em at once was the cry of the hour So the bones well aligned would regain their old power. We were ruled in Grand Rounds by Confederate brass Dr. Moore's dulcet tones quite unnerved all the class. Messrs. Brittain, et al, far exceeded their ration And almost abolished the dog population. Dave Wilcox once gagged up on ENT With a noise that was heard on Bellevue G.B. Mrs. Altmann gave lessons in sterile technique ' But the bandage results still appeared quite oblique. Kent's curiosity gained him the floor When I.ampe's gloved hands he could not ignore. And Surgeon Matern threw hands up in despair While lamenting an artery beyond all repair. Our heads now bent low, weighed down with Much Knowledge The harvest of our clerkship in Medical College But this too shall pass was our cry of good cheer And we end our last rhyme with the end of third year. Pace, pace Dio mio! Are you sure, Dr. Pierik? yi V h Q 4 . ,fe Bottoms - up Anopheles Bellvuensis
