MICROBIOLOGY Ma Miller may be gone (though not forgotten) but Auntie Maria is bouncing merrily along. 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. Uncle Ralphie and his crew continue to get dry cultures and maintain a friendly attitude in spite of it.

Stuart Narrod, Ph.D. BIOCHEMISTRY Long afternoons spent doing experiments that some- times work — watching the sun set over City Line Ave- nue — our teachers tried to make the course interesting (how interesting can Henderson-Hasselbach be?) — learning metabolic pathways inside out, backwards and forwards — how to make a protein; how to break a protein — lipids, lipids everywhere — all the way with RNA — we treat sick E. coli — ATP is the source of all — how to synthesize non-essential amino acids in 10 easy lectures. 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.

PHARMACOLOGY Goodman and Gilman, Drill and the PDR — these are three books we will never forget, because we will never stop using them. We were introduced to them by some professors we will never forget; Drs. Ellis, Riker, Swaine, and Vincent. How much of the chemistry, the biological effects, the sites and mechanisms of action and the generic names we remember, is a question left best unanswered. William Riker, M.D., Chairman Chas.
