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.

Pathology . . . A bridge between science and clinics This department is the bridge between the basic sciences and the clinical side of medicine. A department that per- forms this important function must have men who are vitally interested in teaching and in the students. During the past year Dr. Thomas Peery, chairman, has been devoting his time to the new curriculum and, in order to find time for this,has temporarily relinguished his teaching duties. In his place the department has had Dr. Martin O. Skelton from London, England. , In addition to this department's important function of ' teaching, Dr. Peery and Dr. William Marsh organize the annual laboratory which is set up at AMA Con- ventions to run various hematological and chemical tests 011 the registered doctors. Dr. Frank N. Miller, along with his devotion to the students, is interested in a study of breast carcinoma and its relation to fibrocystic mastopathy. This year he was chosen by the senior class to address the Closing' Assembly. Dr. William Newman is compiling work on carcinoma- in-situ ofthe breast. Dr. Alexander Breslow is beginning a study concerning the site of manufacture of certain liver globulins. This year's senior class will never forget the vast amount of knowledge that this department imparted to its members. THOMAS M. PEERY, MD. Chairman and Professor of Pathology BROAD SHOULDERS are needed for the difficult task of bridging preclinical and clinical material, upon these men Qand womanj fall this burden. seated' W. Newman, F.
