The Department of Pediatrics to acquaint the student with both and sick infants and children and physical and emotional needs for medi- guidance and care. Normal growth and the prevention of disease, and the diagnosis of disease are stressed. During the third year clerkship, six weeks are spent on the pediatric wards and in the Out-Patient Department. The fourth year clerk divides his time between the wards, the emergency room, and the newborn nursery. Weekly pediatric dermatologic, X-ray, and psy- chiatric conferences are held as well as daily Ward rounds, but the high point of the entire service is daily teaching rounds. In this one hour, Doctors Behrle and Kushnick present enough factual information and practi- cal considerations to make any day on Pediatrics seem well spent. To the amazement of all, these two individuals were able to maintain an active, first-class department in both jersey City and Newark during the recent months of transition. There is little doubt that the Department of Pedi- atrics will continue to make advances in its new home. FRANKLIN C. BEHRLE, M.D., received his degree from Yale University Medical College. He served an internship at Naval Medical Center, Bethesda, Mary- land, and spent the next two years on active duty with the Navy. Dr. Behrle then completed his training in pediatrics at the University of Kansas. He remained at the University of Kansas Medical Center as a faculty member and in 1957 became Associate Professor of Pedi- atrics. Four years later Dr. Behrle came to Seton Hall as Professor of Pediatrics, and in 1964 he became chair- man of the department. Dr. Behrle's research projects and publications have been concerned primarily with diseases of the newborn. . if :xi .rg I

The Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics aims during the second year course through a series of lectures to introduce the student to the subject matter in both disciplines and to orient his study in relation to other courses. During the third and fourth year clerkship, the time is divided between the con- ference room, the operating room, and the delivery room. Everyone learns a little about the A-Oi' tech- nique, and some future gynecologists participate in a complete course on the subject. The department has become ufamousi' for conducting a weekly lecture program with associated exams right up to gradu- ation. U YNECOLOGY AND OBSTETRICS HUMBERT L.
