get A m v' - t-'Q ' t expansion of the faculty involving several new areas of concentration in anatomical research. Electron microscopy is the prominent techni- que employed throughout the department. There are seven different electron microscopes in use. and scanning electron microscope facilities are available in other departments. Much equipment is related to both small angle and wide angle x- ray diffraction analysis. There is also equipment devoted to various kinds of image analysis utiliz- ing laser optical and computer resynthesis meth- ods. Facilities are also available for cell fraction- ation and the isolation of intracellular compo- nents and their hiochemical and biophysical characterization. The facilities of the Department of Anatomy and the scope of its interests are sufficiently broad to provide a challenge to anyone desiring gl i. advanced training in the areas it represents. .X it Top Right: Dr. Hylander prepares a gross anat- omy tape.

Dr. Francis Huntington Swett. who headed the department until I943. He was succeeded by Dr. Joseph Markee. who retired in I966 to be replaced by the present chairman. Dr. J. David Robertson. Under its first two chairmen. the department was primarily involved in research in the areas of neuroendocrinology. neuroanatomy. and repro- ductive biology. Today the department is primar- ily concerned with cell biology. biophysics. and molecular biology. and more recently. develop- mental biology. A substantial effort is also being made to preserve and develop directions in the areas initiated by the first two chairmen. as well as continuing earlier studies of cell biology and physical anth ropology. Specifically. the Department of Anatomy places emphasis on studies of the macroscopic structure and evolution of man and his relatives at one cnd of the spectrum and at the other. the macromolecular organization of cells and tissues. Within this large framework. it is possible to pur- sue many different kinds of research activity. The senior staff have backgrounds ranging from med- icine. zoology, anthropology. biochemistry. to bio-physics. and physics. Many of the research programs are interconnected by collaboration of Below: Row I tL to Rl: J. D. Robertson. M. Cart- mill. J. Corless. W. Hylander. P, Beall. M. Jakoi. N. Cant. Row 2: W. Longley. K.

Anesthesiology was established as a separate department in the Duke University Medical Center, with responsibility for education and teaching in anesthesia at the undergraduate medical level, and the development of a program of research. The residency in anesthesia was re- established and the training and education of Nurse Anesthetists was strengthened. During the subsequent six and a half years, the faculty has expanded significantly and the department has engaged in an active role in teaching within the Medical Center. The bulk of its courses are lim- ited to the two elective years. but there is active participation in teaching in Pharmacology and in Surgery. Within the department there have been established the following divisions: Obstetric anesthesiology and Perinatology. cardio-vascular thoracic anesthesia. neurosurgical anesthesia. ophthalmic anesthesia, and instrumentation and measurement. ln addition. the department has devoted considerable energy in the area of hyper- baria and, under the leadership of Dr. Peter B. Bennett, there has been a significant expansion of the department's activities in the area of the :J w t I ll 1 I in li li mechanisms of narcosis and in diving medic in particular. There has been considerable effort given to 1 development of patient monitoring. with t objective of providing safer anesthetic practi research involving the physiology of the neu muscular Junction. environmental factors rel ing to anesthesia, and the problems involv respiratory exchange when complicated by l Members of the department are active ' i u a water.
