pathology IOSEPH E. IMBRIGLIA, M.D., D.Sc. tMed.l Professor and Chairman, Department of Pathology 4'-,J- The study of pathology finally removed the partitions separating the Freshman subjects and became the common meeting ground for anatomy, histology, physiology and biochem- istry, and the area of maturation of the class. One hundred and thirty years ago Marie Francois Xavier Bichot, an eminent French anatomist and physiologist C1771-18027 and founder of scientific histology and pathologic anatomy, said: You may take notes for twenty years from morning to night at the bedside of the sick, upon the diseases of the heart, lungs, gastric viscera, etc. and it will be to you only a confusion of symptoms, which not being limited in one point will necessarily present only a train of incoherent phenomena. Open a few bodies and the obscurity will soon disap- pear which observation alone would never have been able to have dissipated. Dissect in anatomy, experiment in physiology, follow the disease and make the autopsy in medicine. This is the threefold path without which there can be no anatomist, no physiologist and no physician. -1 And in closing . . . Iwould like to state . . . that cystosarcoma phyllodes . . . is a rarely seen, pathological entity.

microbiology V -,..f' The average student beginning the course never envisaged the effects of the simultaneous uncapping of ninety stool specimens or the sudden aspiration of a mouthful of bacteria through a pipette. These were only temporary setbacks in our advance through the microcosm of bacteria and virus or the macrocosm of arthropod, all of which appeared in confusing array on the final practical. f Anyone see sperm at tt30? l We are grateful for the Warning that only surgeons produce drug-resistant bacteria and note that medicine has been enriched immeas- urably by the lantern slides of Dr. Moat pro- duced in his sub-basement salon. We do give thanks for the lovely pleomorphism of the tech- nicians which certainly helped to break the monotony of rods and cocci. For the future, We hope that the unknowns will be coded cor- rectly and that the hills of Eastern Tennessee remain ever beautiful.
