Ably assisting in the laboratories were the two Drs. Brown, Leland and Elizabeth, and the ever- helpful technicians, Miss Boyd, Clair and Rita. A series of maddening bi-weekly quizzes, in addition to unknowns and practical labor- atory exams, measured our progress in the course. Following each of these, cries of an- guish and heated debate with the staff ensued. Then came the grades, cleverly concealed by a code number known only to the individual stu- dent fwho invariably forgot itj, to his labora- tory partner Cwho invariably remembered itj, and to those members of the class with superior memories and remarkable talents for solving cryptograms and codes. ln order to gain more time for studying, members of the class devised new methods of mass production, specializa- tion, and division of labor in the laboratory. However, we always suspected that these meth- ods were subtly countered by those unsched- uled end-of-the-day conferences, belatedly called by Dr. Bondi via the omnipresent loud- speaker system. Nevertheless, at year's end, we had learned not only the subiect matter of Bacteriology but also the spirit of intelligent, friendly faculty-student relationship as exem- plified by Dr. Bondi and his staff.

Scarpa, M.D. Assistant in Bacteriology The class looked forward with a mixture of anticipation and fear to Bacteriology, given for the first time by a new addition to the Hahne- mann faculty, Dr. Amedeo Bondi. The course was divided into two separate phases, one dealing with the medical aspects of Bacteriol- ogy, Immunology, and Mycology, the other with Parasitology. To instruct us completely in these subiects, Dr. Bondi presented a series of lucid lectures, including several by distinguished ul-1 'ix U . ' 4 'Y j' X guest lecturers CDrs.
