WHEN FACING Under the enthusiastic guidance of Dr. Boyd and staff, we began to know the complexities of the Kreb cycle, intermediate enzymes, hormonal complex and protein metabolism. Drs. DeFrates, Alper, Oesper, Roth, and Wase made these long hours of study and experiments more than a mere exercise, for what we learned of theories became the facts of health and disease. s r g .4 Drs. C. Alper and P. Oesper L. L Between hands of bridge and a ping-pong match we diligently attempted to extract ATP., etc., from rabbit muscles. Beforehand these same rabbits suffered our man-made hypoglycemic reactions followed by rich glucose IV. Socially you were nothing if seen without the gallon 24 hr. specimen container. QThe kind Promish broke in classroom CJ The fairness of the exams frightened us. Something surely must he wrong! But by the end of our frsehman year we all agreed that biochem was perhaps the most relaxing and enjoyable course as yet. Although we were not masters of fluid balance or protein metabolism the Gamblegrams no longer upset our autonomic systems. v1 ', 4-ylax'a I.

And, as always, the answer must be: In pathology, my boy, in pathologyf' In this, the queen of the medical sciences, the aroma of death is ever mingled with the sweet perfume of discovery as the dead reveal their secrets unto those who seek to learn. Timedly, we embarked on this great sea of learning, slowly, we became aware of the mysteries of inflammation and won- dered at the unknown forces that drive cells to self-destruction in a furor of malignant growth. The year wore on, a seemingly endless succession of exams, posts and rainbow mosaics under our 'scopes. We glimpsed tantalizing flashes of the clinical years to come, and wished violently that we were already there. Then we wouldn't have to study pathology any more! But, as we left our formal work behind, shook and grateful that it was over, we knew that it was not an ending, but a mere beginning in a study that will be life-long for all of us.
