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.

Obviously, no one in the class will ever tor- get the events that transpired in lecture room D during our freshman year. The overflowing energy of Dr. Pearson as he lectured was a source of constant amazement to us, to the ex- tent that one of our classmates clocked the number of times he walked back and forth on the platform, and computed the distance cov- ered-three miles! He always had a story to illustrate some point in the lecture, or to wa- ken a nodding embryo medic. One day he sur- prised us by drawing on the board a carica- ture of a yawning student-and the embar- rassment effectively stifled all future yawns. His quick smile and the twinkle in his eye on such occasions attested to his fine sense of humor. The boards were bedecked with long chains of carbons, hydrogens and oxygens whenever Dr. Hepburn lectured to us. And the window pole had an amazing habit of disappearing whenever the blackboards were out of reach -a mystery that was never solved. No one was ever absent for his ten-minute quizzes- some people even turned in more than one paper in their zeal.
