YYHC Scarlee'Ra.1J t General Organization In the spring of 1926 realizing the need for an organization to provide a closer cooperation between the Faculty and the Student Body, a group of mem- bers of the Class of '28 suggested the inauguration of a General Qrganization for the mutual benefit of the Undergraduate body and the University. A com- mittee consisting of Miss Bode, Mr. Block, Mr. Asbel, Mr. Weintraub, and Mr. Golish were appointed to draw up a constitution for the organization. When it had been prepared it was presented and accepted by the classes of the College and in the fall of the same year the G. O. became a reality. Great credit is due Mr. Jacob M. Block who has been president of the organization since its start. lt is largely through his splendid Work and his executive ability that the project has been so successful. In future years probably the General Organization will grow even greater in strength and become a still larger factor in the Undergraduate life than, it now is. It will always be a tribute to the foresight of the Class of 1928-and to its Hrst president. I Page 931

- - ffhe SCd1?lC-b 'Ra-H History of Phi Beta Phi In the fall of 1926, a group of students interested in the science of Phys- iology decided to organize a Physiology Society in the College and the Phi Beta Phi was the product of their ideas. Dr. Lloyd K. Riggs accepted the adviser- ship of the organization and with the aid of Messrs. Werner, Neuschntz, and Golish he has built up a noteworthy society. During the college year of 1926-27 the Phi Beta Phi made many inter- esting studies. Among the lecturers secured were Dr. Goulden, now a member of the scientific department of the College, who spoke on the value of Propylene as an anesthetic, demonstrating its action on rats in comparison with other hy- drocarbon gases now in use as anaesthetics. Dr. Nyiri was kind enough to lec- ture on new developments in the study of kidney-Hltration. Mr. Mac Henry of the scientific department of the E. R. Squibb Company spoke on the Ovarian hormone and its effect upon the sexual cycle. Mamalian physiology was studied on a few cats. During the year 1927-28 the responsibilities fell to the lot of the senior members. Examinations were given to sophomores exempt in Physiology. Dur- ing the Thanksgiving Vacation a trip was made to che laboratories of the Squibb Company. Dr. Riggs has been kind enough to address the society on new developments in Physiological science and will take the remainder of the year in a discussion of First Aid. I Page 951
