The editors are well aware of this hazard. We only hope that this publica- tion will serve to recall the people and events that were instrumental in starting our medical education. To include everyone and everything that helped to grant us the privilege of becoming a doctor is beyond the scope of any book. Each of us has her own wealth of experiences that will always be with her — and only a very few can be shared with others. We all can share the emotion of our own first black bag; the passing of the National Boards; the mixed emotion of hearing yourself paged for the first time. But none of us can really share or explain all the happenings that had to occur to make us become doctors. There are too many and they are too private. They involve parents, teachers and the patients. The editors hope this book will enable you to look at a picture or read a name and say I remember — . And with that remembering have a renewal of each happy and meaningful l ' r,fr.

DEDICATION Miss Ida Draeger Librarian We, the class of 1969, gratefully dedicate this year ' s edition of the IATRIAN to Miss Ida Draeger and her staff. Working under impossible conditions; lack of space, noise, a small budget, demanding students and faculty; Miss Draeger and her staff have always responded with cheerfulness and genuine concern. A seem- ingly impossible task is made possible and performed with proficiency and effi- ciency by these women. We are proud and grateful to each and all of them. In 1963 Miss Draeger was given an award by W.M.C. for 25 years of service, and it was said at that time, that generations of students have profitted from her calm and helpful administration of the library. She has added six years to that service with the same helpful administration. She has been a loyal member of the Medical Library Association and has served on many committees of that organ- ization. Miss Draeger received a B.S. in Education from the University of Penn- sylvania; a B.S. in Library Science from Drexel Institute and worked as a library assistant at the University of Penna. before coming to WMC. She belongs to Pi Lambda Theta, the Medical Library Association, the Special Libraries Associa- tion, and t he Association American Medical Colleges. She has served on the Committee on Interlibrary Loans; was the Chairman of Committee on Criteria for Medical School Libraries; served on the Subcommittee on Recruitment, and was Chairman, Medical Library Association, Philadelphia Regional Group. She has published several papers and is listed in the Who ' s Who of American Women. She is a very active member of the Pilgrim Baptist Church in Cheltenham. r To study the phenomena of disease without books is to sail an uncharted sea, while to study books without patients is not to go to sea at all. — Sir Wm. Osier. We students at WMC have never had to do without books or journals, and most important, have never had to do without an answer to any request made at any of the staff of our library. The facilities were hot in the summer, cold in the win ter, and noisy and crowded most of the time, but somehow, that is not what the class of ' 69 will remember. We will only remember a staff of dedicated women, working under impossible conditions and doing an impossible job in such a way that we will graduate proud of our library — just because of the staff and the job they have done.

Leymaster, M.D. President and Dean TO THE SENIORS: GRADUATION will soon be here, and you will be marching forward to claim your diploma. You will know then that the title Doctor is rightfully yours, at long last. Hono r that title, and wear it proudly. All of us — your teachers, members of the Board, the Administrative Staff — congratulate you. We are proud of you and confident that you will continue to grow in competence in your chosen profession. To each graduate, our best wishes for a successful career. Glen R. Leymaster, M.D. President and Dean 1967 In 1964, upon assuming his post as Dean and President of WMC, Dr. Glen Leymaster felt that he had to make one of two choices; either to turn the College into a coeducational school, or to justify it on its own terms. Dr. Leymaster chose the latter. In describing the premise behind the changes he hoped to institute, he states: While there can be no compromise witth quality, there can be variation among medical schools in relative emphasis among disci- plines. All branches of medicine must be open to individual students, but a medical school with a unique student body ought to have unusual strength in some areas and thus pro- vide unusual opportunities for its students. (J. Amcr. Med. Worn. Ass. 20, no. 4 (1965):347) (Women in Medicine, by C. Lopate) In 1967, at one of our Dean ' s Hours, Dr. Leymaster re- ported meetings and discussions with the State Legislature where our admissions policy had been discussed and he said to us, among many cheers, that he felt that as long as he was Dean, it was to remain the Woman ' s Medical College. In 1968, we the students, the Alumnae and others, received a letter which stated, In keeping with the spirit of the times it seems appropriate for the Woman ' s Medical College periodically to re-examine its admissions policy. With the concurrence of the Board of Corporators and Dr. Leymas- ter, and with the desire in mind of advancing the best inter- est of the College, an Advisory Committee on Admission Policies has therefore recently been appointed. This Com- mittee has been asked to recommend to the Board and to the President whether our goal of providing the highest quality medical education obtainable is best realized by re- maining open only to women — . 1968 1970 Mary Ellen Hartman, M.D., Associate Dean Marvin R. Dunn, M.D., Associate Dean Claude Bernard said — vital forces directs phe- nomena which it does not produce; physical agen- cies produce phenomena which they do not di- rect. These administrators could be likened to the vital forces; the students to the phenomena; and these administrators ' offices could be the physical agencies. Through what appears to be mysterious ways, these vital forces interview, accept, drop and graduate students. They arrange curricula, schedule classes, arrange loans and scholarships and attend committee meetings. Behind their office doors, decisions are made, questions are discussed, decisions are remade, and all that it takes to ad- minister a medical school, is administered. Not pictured — E.

We have walked the first lloor corridor of this connecting link hundreds o( times. All of us have stopped at least four times — to pay our tuition. Many of us have stopped other times — to pay book bills and — sometimes successfully — other times unsuccessfully — to cash checks. Hut there are a lot of other things happening here — personnel — purchas- ing — bookkeeping, etc. — all of which must be, to keep a medical school opcrat- TREASURER— COMPTROLLER— BURSAR Chas. Littleton Pat Morris Dave Mathis Mary Moore Bill Steck 1 , J acq. Zenzer Each year the President ' s Report in- cludes a Financial Picture. Much of the work to make this picture is due to these offices. It ' s a complicated picture, includ- nig the assets; such as cash on hand, money received from patients, that re- ceivable from the State, materials, land, buildings and equipment, loans due from students, permanent investments, tuition, research and training programs, etc. On the other hand there is the expenditures; such as cost of supplies, banks, mort- gage, money owed to endowment funds, the cost of education of students, salaries of all personnel, and cost of patient care. And of course, don ' t forget the book- keeping involved in cashing checks for the students and faculty. We, who have enough trouble keeping our bank book straightened out, can ' t begin to compre- hend the complicated bookkeeping and record-keeping handled by these people.

No resemblance between the exam ques- tions and the lecture material — most everyone flunks the mid-term — these are general things we remember from biochemistry. And last, but not least, don ' t forget to use Harper for the Boards! S. Rosenthal, Ph.D. D. Hsu, Ph.D. A. Berg, Ph.D. R.Scorpio, Ph.D. F. Covato, G.S. Studying for Biochem.

The students may get the antigens and antibodies mixed with haptens and reagins but one thing they do understand is the correct way to streak a culture plate. How to carry your microscope up and down the second floor is also an essential part of the Micro course which is mastered but never appreciated.

But, remember trying to recall signs, symptoms, gross and microscopic of all those diseases for round-up each Monday? Speed-reading courses came in handy for reading Robbins and Anderson to complement your notes. Tranquilizers helped your anxiety neurosis about the exams and new glasses helped your eye strain from looking at all the slides. And what about your first autopsy and CPC?

But the impact is softened somewhat by these wonderful people who did a tremendous job then and have continued to do so throughout our years at the college. They perform a tiring and thankless task and we shall always remember them. They have been our friends, our Mothers and most of all, our Physi- cians and nurses. We know they will continue to do a fine job in the future and hope they will have better working areas to do so. Judith Mausner, M.D. Anita Bahn, Sc.D. PREVENTIVE MEDICINE Principles and Trends in Population and Dis- ease, Epidemiology and Biostatistics; Communi- cable Diseases and Their Control; Control of En- vironmental Factors; Nutrition and Deficiency Diseases; Maternal and Child Health; Accident Prevention; Adult Health and Chronic Disease; Occupational Health; Medical Care Administra- tion; Organization and Administration of Com- munity Health Services; — would you believe we studied all those topics in our four years of Pub- lic Health and Preventive Medicine? Well, we did! With the great emphasis on the Social Needs of our country and the world today, these subjects were pertinent and necessary, even though many the lecture we skipped or wished we had. The role of the physician as counsellor and the impact of social problems on the physician were introduced to us while in school and will grow in importance after we leave school and assume our roles as practicing doctors in the community.

Brown 20 — one of the essential qualities of the clinician is interest in humanity, for the secret of the care of the patient is in car- ing for the patient. — Peabody M E D I C I N E Life is short, the Art long, experience deceptive, judgment difficult. (Hippocrates) This is made pain- fully aware to the student when he first begins to study the subject of medicine. Remember the first his- tory you took? And how, when these people pictured on these pages, took the same history, either by asking different questions or by interpreting answers to the same questions with their experience, they came up with a different diagnosis (and a lot less R O ' s)? In medicine is where you learn that if you let the patient talk long enough and you listen hard enough, he usu- ally tells you what is wrong with him. It is also where you learn that the practice of medicine is truly an art mixed with science and that the good physician is a gifted artist. H. Phelps Potter, M.D., Chaiman ■ M. Sones, M.D J.

MY INTRODUCTION TO WMC CON- SISTED OF THREE GLORIOUS DAYS OF ORIENTA- TION. FIRST, THERE WAS AN ALL-DAY EXAMINA- TION, ON MEDICINE AND SURGERY, YET! THEN REGISTRATION, CONFUSION, PICTURE-TAKING, MORE CONFUSION, HUGE BOOK LISTS, AND MORE CONFUSION. AND OF COURSE, THE HIGH-LIGHT OF ORIENTATION— THE THOROUGH PHYSICAL EXAM GIVEN IN THE STUDENT HEALTH WHICH IS THAT LITTLE BUILDING WITH SO MANY WINDOWS OVER- LOOKING THE SIDEWALK AND THE GENERAL PUB- LIC. FINALLY, ARMED WITH FIVE BOOKS IN ONE HAND AND A MICROSCOPE IN THE OTHER, WE TOOK UP RESIDENCE ON THE FOURTH FLOOR. THERE, WE FOUND OUR GUIDING LIGHTS TO BE THE DEPARTMENTS OF BIOCHEMISTRY, ANATOMY, PHYSIOLOGY AND PSYCHIATRY. THE DEMONSTRA- TIVE MEMBERS OF THESE DEPARTMENTS PRESENT THEIR LECTURES WITH BACKGROUND MUSIC AND ACCOMPANIMENT PROVIDED BY JACKHAMMERS AND DRILLS DOWN THE HALL AND THE DISH- WASHER ACROSS THE HALL. WONDER WHY THEY DON ' T MAKE NOISE WHEN THERE ISN ' T A LEC- TURE? WE HAVE LEARNED THAT THE FRESHMAN YEAR CONSISTS MAINLY OF PATHWAYS. THERE ARE METABOLIC, NERVOUS, VASCULAR AND HORMONAL PATHWAYS. EVERYTHING WE HAVE STUDIED HAS A PATHWAY— E. COLI, RATS, CATS, RABBITS, GUINEA PIGS, CHICKENS, MICE; HAMSTERS, MONKEYS, BIRDS, AND FROGS. I DON ' T KNOW ABOUT PEOPLE —WE HAVEN ' T STUDIED THEM YET. AND OF COURSE EVERYTHING THAT HAS A PATHWAY HAS A CONTROL. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH EVERYTHING IN THE UNIVERSE HAS SOME SORT OF CONTROL. EVERYTHING THAT IS, EXCEPT OUR LECTURE ROOM. IT IS UNIQUE. DURING THE WINTER A GALE FORCE WIND BLOWS ACROSS THE LEFT HALF OF THE ROOM, AND FRESHMEN WITH EXPOSURE PROB- LEMS HAVE BEEN SEEN IN THE ER. MEANWHILE, THE PEOPLE ON THE RIGHT HALF OF THE ROOM SUFFOCATE FROM THE HEAT. I ' VE HEARD THAT IN THE FALL AND SPRING THE TEMPERATURE IS MORE UNIFORM WITH BOTH SIDES OF THE ROOM SUFFOCATING. I ' M NOT COMPLAINING TOO MUCH, MOM. THERE ARE SOME GOOD THINGS. FOR EXAMPLE— WE GET COFFEE BREAKS IN THE MORNING. WE GET 10 MIN- UTES. IN THAT 10 MINUTES WE HAVE TO FIT IN 5 MINUTES TO GET TO THE WHAT-NOT SHOP, 15 MIN- UTES WAITING IN LINE, 5 MINUTES WAITING FOR CHANGE AND ANOTHER 5 MINUTES GOING BACK UPSTAIRS. IN SUMMARY, MOM, MY DAY ALTERNATES BE- TWEEN STUDENT RECEPTIVE APHASIA AND TEACHER EXPRESSIVE APHASIA ADDING UP TO CEREBRAL INSULTS THAT CAN ONLY LEAD US TO THE SECOND YEAR. WE WILL MISS OUR MONDAY MORNING TRAUMA HOUR THEN, BUT WE ARE SURE THAT THE 2ND YEAR FACULTY CAN COME UP WITH SOME ADEQUATE SUBSTITUTES. WE ' VE AL- READY HEARD ABOUT ROUND-UPS AND NATIONAL BOARDS.
