PATHOLOGY Gentlemen ,-'for that was always how our unpretentious, yet steadfast, Professor of Pathol- ogy, Dr. Virgil H. Moon. addressed us- Gentlemen, you are now sophomores, and as such, you must lcnow the subject of pathology: for as Sir William Osler said, 'As is our pathology, so'is our practice, Thus were we introduced to a new field of study and a new teacher: and soon after, both in our sophomore and our junior years, we learned through hard and tedious worlc in an efficient and orderly manner the full import of the ahove quotation. During the lecture periods in our sophomore year, Dr.'lVloon acquainted us with the morpho- logical evidence and manifestations of the pro- cess of a disease, its gross and microscopic char- acteristics, and its cause and effect especially upon function: and he tried to show us how disease is an abnormality of structure, function, or hoth.'Further, it was his special delight to give short and impromptu quizzes so.that we might get practice in answering questions not only adequately but also concisely and to the point. The laboratory during the same year was under the direction of Drs. Stasney, McGrew, and Scaricaciottoli. How well we remember those famous words of Dr. Stasney- Tait another lulcgu or those classical descriptions of microscopic slides-from necrosis to misplaced chromosomes'-of Dr. lVlcGrew in his own in- imitable ways: or those silent hints and aids given to us by Dr. Scaricaciottoli both in the laboratory and recitation rooms. Further, we attended various autopsies, and had special practical examinations on pathological speci- mens, and hecame acquainted with neuro- pathology under the direction of members of Dr. Alpers' staff. Since our time, Dr. Mc- Grew has left Jefferson: and a new course in surgical pathology has been added to the sophomore year. The course in our junior year consisted only of lectures in organ pathology presented by Dr. Stasney and afforded us an excellent re- view and broader concept of our sophomore pathology. Further, these dissertations were spiced hy journeys to P.G.H., and high-lighted hy the Chief on discussions in a subject dear to him and us alilce-nshoclc and Related Capil- lary Phenomena. Thus was another roclc in the foundation of Medicine laid next to those of Anatomy, Physi- ology, Chemistry, Bacteriology and Pharmacol- ogy. mime.-
