Q P I. 2. Paihologisi' par-excellence, Dr. Sappingfon. DV- COOR elfperfly goes 'rhrough +he day's specimens. 3. Dr. Russ Fisher rests his weary eyes from +he scope 4. Mfiss ZAcDeviff, The deparfmenfs efficient secrefory .and srude rien . 1- PATH OLOGY When we look back on The number of palh- ology courses we've had, i'r's amazing lhaf Dr. Sappingfon could ever have had ihe palience wi'rh us Thai he did. We'll noi forge? Sopho- more General Palhology, where we learned aboul lhe many pafhological processes Thai besel man's lissues. We'll remember lhe lime we warched corpuscles aclually circulale 'rhrough a lrog's mesenlery, and iirsl saw +he mysferious processes of inllammafion acfually happen. Wifh 'rhal came The mosl infriguing subjecl of fumors- The man who came lo dinner. And we'd always recognize Dr. Barlh- maier's lurned-up lab coal collar. For 'ren weeks afler ihal course, we plunged inlo Special Palhology, where nu'rmeg livers and flea-bi'r'ren kidneys abounded. The Junior year broughl Clinical Pafhology. l-lere we +es'red rows oi urine specimens and counled racks of blood smears. Throughoul 'rhe year, Dr. Sylvis also pounded Surgical Palh- ology info us and wondered if lhere had ever before been a class so lhick-headed. ln quick succession came Gynecological and Obslelrical Pafhology, wilh Dr. Favorile lec- luring solfly, Ophlhalmological Palhology in- Jreresfingly given by Dr. Snyder and orhers, and Dr. Fisher fascinalingly expounding Neuro-pafhology. Looking back on our Au- fopsy work, we wonder even now how we ever had ihe courage fo shakingly cu'r inlo a body so recenlly alive. And who will lorgef rising, whal seemed lo be in fhe middle of 'rhe nighf, lo barely make Dr. Sapping+on's 8:30 Immunology class, and how we marveled al 'the quirks of anaphylaxis.
