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.

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

if 4 . xg, It took us several months to straighten out the confusion of nerves, arteries, and veins so that we weren't totally lost. Soon enough, however, we advanced to the stage where we could not only recognize the normal, but also the anomalies of struc- tures which Dr. Warren so ardently photographed. Earlier in the year we had been instructed in the micro- anatomy and embryology of these structures under the guid- ance of the Histology Department. We had fond memories of lectures interspersed with amusing interludes in response to the cry ot lol-re g and of gorging ourselves on cheeses ot all varieties and playing with the electric trains at the Xmas party. During the second semester Dr. Sylvis blasted the facts of neuroanatomy into our heads, emphasizing his points by intri- cate drawings on the blackboard. We came through the year well grounded in the practical application of anatomy in medicine, and are sure this will be ofinestimable value in the future. if H 3 tp I I ., .je ' QT? 5,5 t If ', : ht-1.1 ' Q.
