I AS.: vfg Q. IL . - J ' -- I ,. .. . . . J A A m eI ff0l'll'le The 3315 Service Unit has now been in existence for a year. During this year you have passed through a period of transition from the status of a civilian to that of a soldier in one of the world's finest Armies. In this same year you have gained some insight into the Ways of the Army and its many duties, the least of which is essential to the winning of victory. It is hoped that the knowledge obtained during your training here will be of considerable value to you, the members of the graduating class, as a back- ground for further training and future military duties. On behalf of the Staff, I Wish you success in your endeavors to alleviate the sufferings of humanity. IAMES C. WARE at Captain, Sig C Commandant I3

Navy fRet.l, Commanding Navy V-l2 Unit, Hahnemann Medical College .jvleaclquar em To the Navy Members of the Graduating Class of Hahnemann Medical College. By dint of hard work, combined with native ability, you have become members of two of the most highly esteemed professions. You are Naval Medical Officers, both doctors and officers of the Navy. In addition to healing the sick, you will be responsible for many other things such as the discipline of your Navy Medical Unit, the cleanliness, upkeep, and supply of your sick bay, for Navy paper work, and last but not least for medical advice and care to units so small that they possess no Medical Officers of their own. I have seen a Navy Medical Officer called at 0200 on a stormy night at sea, with all lights out, to go in a small, wet, pitching whaleboat to minister to a sick man on a destroyer. You will love it. I congratulate you most heartily. 1401 W. I2

Dr. Phillips, the gentle-voiced professor of Anatomy, has endeared himself to us for his deep understanding of problems that con- fronted us as freshman, and his readiness to help solve them at all times. The pleasant man- ner in which he answered the innumerable questions put to him on his daily Walks through the laboratory, and his genuine inter- est in our progress were characteristic of him. But the time came when it Was his turn to ask questions, and no one who was ever the target of a rapid Where's it come from? Where's it go? and What's it do when it gets there? will forget it. Thankful for the introduction we had re- ceived in the lectures given during the first semester, We set about dissection with a confi- dence born of a speaking acquaintance with at least the terminology involved. Armed with a Gray's anatomy and a Cunningham dissector to direct the paths of our scalpels, we went at our tasks-some of us more energetically than others-only to discover that skin wasn't as thick as we thought it was, and that in our zeal We had missed a good many structures of importance.
