The instructors in our day were three in num- ber: Drs. Norman C. Wheeler, Lyle V. Beck, and Herb Shapiro. The lattei ol the trio left us in ordei to do war work, and was replaced by the able Dr. Barnes— the man with the encephalo- gram. Dr. Wheeler, a regular guy anil one ol ihe boys, reminds ns that there did exist a cheer- ful defrostei foi the stony hill that many knew as Physiology. A real friend ol the student, he has often been mistaken foi a freshman. Dr. Beck, a set ions minded fellow, not too chummy and even somewhat seclusive, was well liked by the students l i his encouragement and high grades on experiments. Dr. Beck, along with the lest ol the members ol the department, con- tributes to medicine through research. Tlie department ol Physiology is without doubt the best organized in the college— which was recently attested to In a highet court of judg- ment than out own. Every phase of the work was well integrated so as to give the best pos- sible preparation foi the latei work in clinical medicine. Partiality is nonexistent; each stu- dent is on his own. M any ol oui finest apple polishers have tinned on theii best charms and finesse— only to be completely ignored. The end result is a better than average working knowl- edge of human physiology which is abreast ol the most recent developments in the held. DR. |. F. McCLENDON
