FOREWORD lslli preparation of a Senior Annual consumes more time and planning than the majority of people realize. In the crowded curriculum of a professional school it was difficult for the MEDIC Staff to find as sufficient time as it would desire in the preparation of a book which would be worthy of the Class of Nineteen Hundred Thirty-four. The publication of an animal has-been made increasingly difficult in these days of depression. More money could have been spent and a more elaborate book produced., however, feeling that there were many of us who could not afford to contribute additional funds the Staff has endeavored to produce a book which would equal, if not surpass, the best book ever published by a class at Hahnemann and still keep within the budget so generously voted by the class. The MEDIC Staff was selected by the Business Manager and me to be as repre- sentative as was possible of every faction in the class. Yes, we must say ufactionv since our class has been divided inte warring groups fighting continually for control of every class office and function with bitterness that is neither a credit to ourselves nor to our college. HThe Medici' has been kept out of politics as far as possible, but here and there incidents have occurred which evidenced that some individuals put their factional ideals above their sense of duty to the class and to the position intrusred to them. The individual biographies of the Seniors were written by some member of the MEDIC Staff who represented the faction to wtzich the individual belonged. If the Staff member did not feel that he was well enough acquainted with the individual, he asked some Senior who was, and we are greatly indebted to those who., although not members of the lilEDlC Staff, assumed this responsibility. The Art work was difficult to handle, as the field of art is foreign to the field of medicine in which we have been trained for the past four years. Consequently much credit is due Mr. Vlvallace who, by devoting much time and energy to the task, has so ably handled this department. The class is also indebted to Mr. Stradley of the Humor llepartment for the effort spent in the preparation of this difficult undertaking and the good result obtained. Many things have happened that could not be printed, but it is hoped those which have been included will help to recall to our minds in future years the humorous incidents we experienced while medical students. In conclusion., the Business Manager and l desire to publicly express our sincere thanks and appreciation to those members of the lil!-IDIC Stall' who put sense of responsibility above politics and co-operated so splendidly in producing this hook.
