CARLETON R. TREADWELL, Ph.D. Chairman and Professor of Biochemistry JOSEPH HYMAN ROE, Ph. D. Professor Emeritus of Biochemistry fp A spacious laboratory with more than adequate equipment are entities that immediately come to mind when one recalls his year - now a semester - of bio- chemistry. With Dr. Treadwell as professor and chair- man, the department also includes: Dr. Roe, professor emeritus, who is currently investigating the determination of serum lipaseg Dr. Smith, who heads the laboratory and is known for his soothing voice and his ability to get the last centimeter out of his cigars via his pipeg Dr. Bailey, who presented a paper on atherosclerosis in Edinburgh last summer, and Dr. Vahouney, who is investingating lipid metabolism with Dr. Treadwell at the Martinsburg, West Virginia Veterans Hospital. An architectural study of the finer things in life, biochemistry presented itself as a challenge to one's ability not only in reasoning, but also in rote memory. The vastness of the nomenclature, the myriad of struct- tures, and the seemingly endless cycles, especially in combination and permutation, seemed almost over- whelming. We soon found that the subject matter was more interesting and less difficult than first glance would have us believe, and we came away with a feeling of accomplishment.
