ANATCDMY . -.ll..- J 1 'Q . -4-4 1 K 1 It's safe to uncover DiMauro now, the sun has gone down. ,I Whether we now are amused when we recall our first anxious weeks, are chagrined at the great amount of material once learned which now escapes us, or are satisfied that we were able to finish a difiicult task, we are in general accord that our study of Anatomy marked the beginning of a discipline which is now a way of life for us. We do not forget the ulcerogenic early-afternoon lectures when the colored pencils slipped irretrievably to the floor from the moist, trembling hand. Nor are we too far removed from the confusion that blocked thought processes when confronted with involved dissections on our best friend in the laboratory. But the passage of time has helped us to learn the meaning of our early struggles. We see that, apart from written examinations, the very fabric of the anatomy course was in itself a test par excellence-one which was intended to tell whose egos could stand repeated deflation, whose minds functioned under extremes of pressure, whose hearts did not fail in face of the work to be done. To the men of the Department we are grateful for preparing us to meet the many challenges which ensued in our academic peregrinations.
