In Physiology, we were with learning how the systems of n body function in health and in No one quite knew what to expect our usual advisors, the sophomores, had completed the course while its able but demanding chairman was spreading pearls in other areas of the world. After the Hrst exam, the answer was clear-it was a disaster. Apparently, what we had heard the first day, We do not yet understand a single physiological phenomenon CClaude Bernardj, applied just as well to medical students. But we will be eternally grateful to the GI Group who, late in the year, presented many with their first respectable grade of the year. Graphs, charts, and curves became an integral part of every conversation. These caused immeasurable con- sternation in more than a few as we tried to appreciate how the lungs really work. Labs were a very businesslike affair except when interrupted by such classic moments as Ken Blum's blood bath or the heated competition for class vital capacity champion. The importance of Physiology did not really become clear until our iirst encounters on the wards. Since then, we have grown to appreciate Dr. Opdyke's pipes and Dr. Little's electrode off the coast of France. DR. DAVID F. OPDYKE, Professor and Chairman of the Department of Physiology, began his career as an educator with the Department of Physiology at Indiana University, his alma mater. From 1943 until 1951, he was with the Physiology Department at Western Re- serve University Medical School where he became Associate Director of the Department. Dr. Opdyke left Western Reserve to become Director of the Department of Physiology at Merck Institute for Therapeutic Re- search. Since 1956, he has headed the Physiology De- partment at New jersey College of Medicine and in 1963 was made Assistant Dean. Between 1961 and 1963, he was a Visiting Professor at Airlanggu University Medical School in Indonesia. Dr. Opdyke's major re- search efforts have been in Endocrinology and Cardio- vascular Physiology. He is a member of numerous pro- fessional societies including the Scientific Council of the American Heart Association and the editorial board of their publication, Circulation. DR. ARTHUR J. KAHN, Associate Professor of Physiology, was a first lieutenant in the U.S. Army Air Corps between 1942 and 1945. Subsequently he com- pleted his undergraduate training at New York University and later received his Ph.D. at the same institution. From 1951 until 1956, Dr. Kahn was a member of the Physiology Department at Georgetown University School of Medicine. He came to Seton Hall with the first class and has been enlightening students concerning muscle physiology ever since. Most students have had the benefit of a personal explanation of his experiments on con- tractile-elastic relationships in cardiac muscle. Some also had the misfortune of being late for one of his lectures on the subject. :C+ ' rg R ill T resist Q. 9' sau. 1 1 .. , 5 , .to L. ir W.. El v S f ,. . . . 1. F' 'tl R r .gag jf .g.,...,.
