. . Clinical Experience in li films Cardiology has always been a fascinating field to medical students by virtue of its subject matter, but to be able to fully understand and feel competent in this huge area is possible only through the efforts of in- terested and interesting teachers. Drs.johnEvans,George Kelser, and Irene Hsu have been among the closest to the students and have exposed us to a constant bombardment ofpatients. Hematology under Drs. Pearl Holly, jack Rhein- gold, Edward Adelson, Arnold Lear, and james Kirby have provied us with a background in hematology that will compare with that of students from any other school. For this we are thankful. Renal and metabolic diseases were aptly covered in a series of well-prepared and well-delivered lectures by Dr. Louis Alpert, Alvin Parrish, Howard Ticktin, Nor- man Kramer, and Mary Watts. Consistent with the departments policy of a fine balance between research, teaching, and patient care, Drs. Irene Tamagna, Harold Orvis and Richard Fowler kept us abreast of the latest work in hypertension. Easy-going Drs. Maurice Mensh and Jerome Epstein along with Dr. Thomas Sappington steered us through the alimentary canal with great skill. Although pulmonary diseases are measured in ab- breviations, Drs. James Feffer, james Mann, Harold Passes, and Harold Silver never abbreviate the time devoted to conferences and ward teaching and never wasted a breath on excuses.

Department of Medicine . Medicine is the mother of the clinical disciplines-, from her was born many of the non-surgical subspecial- ties. Medicine has served as the basis for our clinical experience. Our hats are off to the Department of Med- icine under the leadership and guidance of Dr. Thomas M. Brown. It is only in retrospect that one is able to fully realize the profound influence and vast amount of knowledge that this department has imparted to us. Dr. Brown has taken a step forward by looking towards the past. It is through talking to the patient and studying patterns of behavior that one will be able to diagnose and manage disease processes. By recording patient interviews, Dr. Brown plans to utilize tapes as a method of demonstrating his clinical observations. Dr. Monroe Romansky has been a large force behind organizing our medical curriculum and providing us with a continuous inilux of lecturers and conferences in all the diverse realms of internal medicine. His personal coverage of infectious disease processes and their treat- ment has always kept us one step ahead of the literature. ,ia ...Mi THOMAS MCPHERSON BROWN, MD.
