DEPARTMENTAL CLUBS First term saw the members of the Physiology and Bacteriology Club touring the preclinical departments of the University of Maryland Medi- cal School. Later that term, the traditional Christ- mas party was given at Dr. Crittendelfs house. Several alumnae returned early in second term to tell of the various job opportunities open to Physiology and Bacteriology majors. Also planned for that term was a field trip to Hopkins Hospital to witness an operation. Dr. Elinor Fosdick Downs, member of the U. S. Public Health Service, spoke at the Cluhhs, annual banquet in February. First row gathered around the table: T. Widdowson7 J. Coyle, B. Breuning, Dr. Crittenden, Miss Pratt, P. Powell, Miss Webb, V. Vellisto. Second row, standing: S. Bloch, C. McClure, A. Eustance, E. Furst. The departmental clubs have been organized for a dual purpose: to promote closer student-faculty relationships, as well as to extend academic inter- ests beyond just the four walls of the classroom. Although the clubs consist primarily of the departmental majors, the membership is open to the entire student body. There has been a grow- ing trend for the clubs to include at least one program of general interest to the college com- munity on their agenda. In this way, the benefits of a stimulating lecturer or a fascinating field trip are not confined to a limited group. the Physiology and Bacteriology Club 23
