ICROBIOLOGY It has always been the purpose of the Department of Microbiology , chemistry of microorganisms and their rela- tion to human disease. This includes the entire world of bacteria, viruses, and protozoa. More recently, the field of immunology, with its study of antigen-antibody relationships, has been added to this subject. The horizons in this latter field are vast. In spite of the fact that its subject matter is endless, this department is perhaps the most organized of the basic sciences. Not only that, but it can boast of having some of the most well known men in their field among its numbers: Dr. Briody, an eminent virologist, Dr. Maurer, immunologist par excellence, Drs. Wolin and Bevis of the culture medium fame. Perhaps students in their first years do not appreciate this department. Agreed, that nothing can be so boring as memorizing Latin names or trying to figure out which way the worms went or staring at little purple things in a microscope! But, in the clinical years one has a rude awakening. The differential between pneumococcal and staphylococcal pneumonia oft times relies on the gram stain. The study of rheumatology is coming to be a study of immunology itself. The philosophy of education of this department, however, is confusing. Because one must have at least a 75 average to pass, the grind becomes all the more difficult. It becomes even more confusing when Dr. Briody states he is pleased with the test results and you're sitting there with a 50. The infamous 44 know ...... A unique characteristic of this department is that its features correlate with the catalogue's description.

Born in Bethlehem, Penn- sylvania, Dr. Briody received his B.A. from Lehigh Uni- versity and his Ph.D. from Yale in 1946. For the next two years, he was a National Research Fellow at the University of Melbourne, Australia. After a brief stay at the University of Michigan, Dr. Briody returned to Yale as Instructor of Virology and later became an Assistant Professor. He returned to his home state to become Professor of Microbiology and Director of the Virology Laboratory at Hahnemann Medical College. Dr. Briody is a virologist by choice with a special interest in the pox virus about which he has written numerous articles. At present, Dr. Briody is co-author of a textbook, MICRO- BIOLOGY AND INFECTIOUS DISEASE, which he promises will be unique . - . eh? The man with hidden talentsf as Professor PAUL MAURER, Ph.D., characterizes himself, is a native New Yorker. He received his B.S. from City College of New York and his Ph.D. in Immunochemistry from Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons where he later served as a research associate. After nine years on the faculty of the University of Pittsburgh's School of Medicine, Dr. Maurer came to Seton Hall College of Medicine as Professor of Microbiology in 1960. Dr. Maurer is first and foremost an Immunologist with a special interest in Immunochemistry. He is inter- nationally known for his studies on antigen structure. This man of few words is also a member of the National Board of Medical Examiners. With a lawyer for a wife, and two teenagers in the house, perhaps he has no other choice but to be a man of few words. I

GEORGE KALF, Ph.D., is Associate Professor in the Department of Biochemistry. He received his Bachelor of Science degree from Upsala College in 1952, his Master of Science from Pennsylvania State University in 1954, and his doctorate from Yale University in 1957. Dr. Kalf came to the New jersey College of Medicine in 1960. One is quick to note the drive of this prolific young man. He already has numerous publications to his credit, most of which deal with enzymatic studies and protein synthesis.
