Pharmacology bridges the gap between the pre- clinical and clinical years. Its illustrous staff is headed by Joe wfhe Pipe DiPalma who always started his lec- tures Wid a boiningw interest. At times our cardiac refractory periods were shortened-especially with the quinidine-digitalis lectures and those exams fwowlj. But there to console us were soft spoken Dr. Christenson and Karl Agre, always the friends of the student. The Don Juan of the hormones, Dr. Spirtes, and EEG Barnes held our attention famously-Dr. Barnes with his keys'7 and Dr. Spirtes with his vitality. And as Dr. Gero stressed the SH groups of pentothal even Morphius could not sedate us and we entered the clinical years. DIVISION OF PI-IARMACOLOGY J. R.

In comparison with the age-old struggle of humankind with his microbial foes, our short semester's fight deems indeed insignificant. But, tight it was, a time of long nights filled with a confusion of strange names and endless genealogies of the aristocarcy of the bacterial gardens. Four hour lectures, the gentle humor of the man from the South, sparkle of surprising Kodachromes among the collegiate the teaching material, all are impressions still vivid to these many years.

THEN FACE TO FACE WITH . . PATIENTS WE HAVE ENTERED MEDICINE ls balding a neurological problem? 5 Q.: ll- Medicine is more than a body of facts and figuresg it is a discipline of the mind, a fertile Held for the inquisi- tive and original thinker. Here we strove mightily to match wits with men whose minds and senses were sharpened by long experience to keenest perception. We often stumbled and only occasionally made a lucky cerebration that proved satisfactory to our sternly im- patient chiefs. The daily exercises in logic were classics wherein a diagnosis on the basis of a CC of miseries ' was the rule.
