Lessig had been in college previously while Sines came to us from Temple. In return for their patriotism, the faculty arranged to give them special and additional instruction by which they were able to continue the work in our class. On January 9, 1919 Hahnemann College suffered a great loss by the death of Dr. William B. Van Lennep, Head of the de- partment of Surgery and former Dean of the College. A short time afterwards, memorial services were held in the big clinic and a tablet was dedicated to his memory. Rev. Floyd Tompkins, Dr. Herbert L. Northrop and Dr. Deaver along with numerous other prominent men and personal acquaintances spoke on Dr. Van Lenep's magnificient accomplishments. Although as a class we did not come under his instruction, everyone realized that this was truly a great man and that his work had helped place Hahnemann in her present position as the best medical school in the world. A1though.we did not realize it at the time, we were the last class which was to receive lectures in anatom from Dr. Northrop for this was his last year as head of this department. He had been selected as the head of the department of Surgery. we shall always look back upon these talks as masterpieces and our only regret is that we are not going to have the privilege of listening to them again. C Starting sith the second semester, dissecting under Dr. Rufus B. Weaver was added to our roster. Needless to say, it was an important event in our careers as students. we were skillfully taken through origin and insertions, anatomical rela - tionships, courses, anastomoses and the hundred and one mysteries of the human economy which all became clear and logical with Dr. Weaver's aid. At the close of the term a committee inter- viewed Dr. Weaver in regard to the diploma in Anatomy with the re- sult that we each received one and shall always prize them most highly. NGet your 'scopes out, gentlemen, I have a few specimens for diagnosisn ---- and immediately we recognize the voice of Dr. Fleming who ably took us through our course in Histology and also quizzed in anatomy. No doubt, none of us will ever forget the appearance of normal liver, heart, stomach, intestine,spleen etc. and surely not Dr. Fleming's generosity which.was exceeded only by his pleasing personality for did he not save a whole unit from starvation by feeding them Wchocolate squaresn. Physiological and Clinical Chemistry were introduced to us by Dr. Pearson in such a manner that we became very well ac- quainted. These friendships were further cem nted by numerous experiments in the chemistry of proteins, carbohydrates, enzymes and foods. Also in the chemical composition of the various

tissues and analyses of saliva, gastric contents,gall-stones, ur- ine,- blood, milk and water. we learned how Emil Fischer kept the whole German Arm alive on synthetic sauerkraut and the won- derful possibilities along these lines. The Dean certainly had the happy faculty of keeping us busy but 'there is no harm in that' and everything turned out to be 'serene'. Q Under Dr. Bornemarm we became quite proficient in Phar- macy and it was not long before we could wield a mean pestle and mortar, roll any kind of a pill or suppository, make the most ap- petizing lotions, mix a cold cream which would erradicate the wrinkles from a file, compound a soothing syrup which would im- mediately alleviate anything from Saint Vitus' dance to whooping cough and when it came to mixing the soft drinks we had Coca-Cola beat a mile. Toomey can verify this last statement. Let me mention in passing that on one of our excursions with Bornemann, in search of the fresh plants, Burns had the misfortune to lose his derby and ever since this time has had an aversion to this form of lid, claiming them to be most unstable in the presence of a stro g draught. nStrong draughtn being one of two things. A course in Embriology by Dr. Uidman, Medical Terminol- ogy by Dr. Campbell, Principles of Homoeopathy by Dr. Bernstein and History of'Medicine by Dr. Stewart completed our instruction for the term. The Institute Banquet this year was held in April at the Hotel Bingham and under Dr. Bernstein's able arrangement turned out to be the Cat's Cuffs or the Elephants's Adenoids , whichever you like the best. History records several amusing indidents enroute home but the exact facts are a bit misty and what did it matter for everyone turned out to be good friends after all. What's a fire-plug between friends anyhow ? ' The graduating class this year contained twenty five members. The commencement exercises were held at the Garrick Theatre with President Warren G. Harding as the principal speaker. , The class roll for the Freshman year was as follows:- Arthur N. Bodenbender who came to us from Colgate where he had contracted a B. S. and Phi Beta Kappa. A John Lawrence Burns, a Penn State Alumnus of some note. Paul C. Crowther claims Haverford as his Alma Mater but he has nothing to do with WThee and Thouu. Fred S. Foster, a Juniata man and a mighty likable chap who was forced to leave us during the second term. Samuel A. Frank, a pharmacist by trade and.whom you.will recall as NSnoopyu.
