Sidney Lipenholtz Bronx, N. Y. Columbia A. B. Contin Society Beth Israel Hospital Coldly, unemotionally, and practically, Sid has pursued his quest for knowledge. I-Ie has se- cured high scholastic honor, but - more significantly - he ac- tually seems to have learned the fundamentals of Medicine. He knew his work, and he had no necessity for popular acclaim or professorial favors. To a certain extent the 'unthinking may criti- cize his apparent self-centered egotism, but the critical realize that his friendly contacts are based upon quality, and not quantity. Those attributes of in- tellectual superiority and friend- liness, are simply unknown to the class. Men are judged by the company they keep, and Sid may rest assured that his excel- lent reputation is thus earned. Before concluding, we should also like to congratulate him upon the great interest in, and the extensive knowledge of, the social problems now confront- ing the world. One hundred one

More truth than fiction . . . he deserves a sincere and just es- timation, for his intimacy has been our most prized possession. His personality is a happy blend- ing of seriousness, joyfulness, worthy ideals, flashing humor and subtlety, determination and excellence in scholarship, and tolerance. There is no doubt that he will go far, because of the rare quali- ties blended in his character. He has given consolation to students and professors by his presence in the Wards during his clerkship -rather rare in the bustle of modern medical education. The associations he has formed throughout his college years have deservedly reflected his personality. Race, creed or color have no part in the molding of his friendships. Character, how- ever, is essential. For those personal qualities which lend themselves so easily to making him a delightful com- panion We maintain the highest regard.

i -rl :. -Q 4.5 if alkyl 1 A I Israel Zion Hospital Too ready to please. Unfortunately, as medical stu- dents, we have reached the satu- ration point where he who is really anxious to be friendly and co-operative is held as a suspect of being naively young. Eli, how- ever, has never quite understood this fact, and he has therefore continued amicably to deal with his classmates, never realizing that not all were as gentlemanly as he. ln his studies, Eli was primarily interested in obtaining tools with which he could think medically, and only secondarily in passing examinations. l-low unlike the rest of us! Curiously, or probably as a consequence, his grades were always good. A gentleman and scholar, he commences his career with our very best wishes, and sincere hopes that he achieves the goal for which he is aiming. One hundred two Elias Livingston New York City.
