KPHYSIOL6GY We, as sopimomore students recently released from time ravages of our freslmman year, slmall never forget tlmat first clay in time laboratory of physiology on time tourtlm lloor. We entered tlmis domain of lcnowledge on tlmis particular day wlmerein we were to learn tlme plienomena as- sociated witlm life and clmaracterized by tlme ability to assimilate food, to respire, to metabo- lize, to elimiimate, and to reproduce. Tbere We found our seats by some aritlmmetical equation. were banded a boolc of laboratory directions and told to proceed. Some of us had never pitlmed a frog before: most of us lmad never correctly smoked a drum before: all of us had never be- fore been permeated by a spirit for experimenta- tion on living animals. We sat tlmere dazed for a few minutes notnlcnowing wlmat to do or lmow to do it. We were puzzled by time mystic indifference of time men of time department. But soon a few brave souls ventured out to do time worlc assigned and started time ball rolling: and witlm eaclm roll of time ball, tlmere was a gain in' momentum so tlmat by time end of tlmat semester, we imad gained invaluable knowledge of tlmose little timings wlmiclm malce us go. We timen realized tlmat wlmat we tlmougimt was unconcem- edness on time part of our teaclmers was actually an attempt to inculcate witlmin us an exemplifi- cation of tlme experimental attitude. Our laboratory sessions, directed by Dr. Crider, were tlmree in number, two of wlmiclm were conducted by the students tlmemselves, and time otlmer by members of tlme staff. In tlme after- noon we had excellent lectures in plmysiology delivered by our unassuming yet versatile pro- fessor, Dr. J. Earl Tlmomas. On various occa- sions, Dr. Pasclmlcis, Dr. Friedman. and Dr. Hart would talce over and deliver lectures on subjects most dear to tlmeir lmearts. Tlmen, of course, ,tlmere were tlmose weelcly lectures given by timat juggler of time blood cells, Dr. Tuttle fsince retiredl, wlmose distinguislming clmar- acteristics of personality and ambidexterity will always remain with us. Rounding out time pro- gram, timere were tliose weelcly recitation lmours witlm various members of time staff. lTlmus did we obtain an important linlc in our clmain of medical education.
