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.

Drill, with its cogent, pithy facts, its lack of ambiguities, its brevity and dynamically illustrated color plates was a welcome replacement to the spoon. Exams showed our educational maturity. We could separate now the wheat from the chaff with only the aid of 30 points. For some, April was the cruelest month, but most of us happily approached clinical medicine secure in the fact that at least we knew some Pharmacology. - 61
