We'll noi forge? Sopho- more General Palhology, where we learned aboul lhe many pafhological processes Thai besel man's lissues.

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.
