JOHN C. SCOTT A.B., Ph.D. Mild manncred, soft spoken, Dr. Scott, opened the door of Physio- logy to us. In a planned deliberate manner we were shown how thc laboratory can be brought to the clinic. I don't care a damn what the book says. -Dr. McClenrlon. GGY It was eight A.M. and a low pitched voice said. Physi- ology is the-. Standing on the platform was the owner of this voice, Dr, Scott. XVith his excellently prepared lecture notes be- fore us, Dr. Scott carefully chartered our course in physiology The department was the spirit of efficiency and demanded the best from the students. From frogs to cats and then to dogs, we at last felt that this was medicine. Many a budding surgeon was created in the lab. Drs. Beck, Barnes, Dresbach and McC1endon were ever present to explain the mysterious results. After get- ting soot on our clothes and yarnishing our hands, many decided to become plumbers. Today, however, we fully realize the im- portance of physiology in understanding disease. XVith sincere humility, we thank Dr. Scott for a job well done. F ozfrtecn
