Samaritan Hospital, Troy It is a very special privilege to be accorded the opportunity to eulogize, even briefly, the per- sonable Dr. Prisco. Very spe- cial since it was F ate, the cast of a die, or maybe just the Boss, that saw to it that F rank was to wield his tongue and scalpel at the Writer's bench in Anatomy laboratory. Having ascertained, through that inevitable grape- vine system of all freshman classes, that this gentleman al- ready had done some carcass- carving at Cornell, yours truly expected easy going. His streamlined dissections and dis- sertations thereof proved to be both a delight and an aid. We will remember Frank for his everpresent hand-Written notesy his extremely retentive memoryy his photographic mind - essentially negative y and his backslapping geniality. I-Ie leaves us as he came-alert and with a justifiable confidence in his qualifications. One hundred twenty-one

Genius is 90W hard work: so apparently Ioe must have a divine spark lurking beneath that ready smile. Through the long, difficult preclinical years, he has worked ceaselessly and arduously--always too busy to complain, and too strong for self pity. With the advent of the clinical years, he soberly and in- telligently planned to derive the greatest amount of hard, com- mon sense knowledge possible. The results demonstrated, with- out a doubt, that here was one student who utilized, to the full- est, the clinical facilitiesto ce- ment, more firmly, his book learning. A final, conclusive idea of how thorough he is may be gleaned from his interneship at California. He conceived the unusual idea, studied it, and accomplished it. Will power and brain power are beautifully combined, and the results indi- cate a long and glorious career. Brooklyn, N. Y. N. Y. U., B. S. Delta Sigma Theta.

Christian Hospital, St. Louis Vaguely there comes to mind the Biblical dictum that the meek shall inherit the earth . Were people like Murray in exis- tence then? Truly, one of the most curious paradoxes of our class was the sight of this stu- dent, silent and unobtrusive, While others talked. Silence is golden - but more valuable were his timely and pertinent helpful interjections to settle an enthusiastic argument. l-le is a loyal friend, a foe of gossip, an intelligent student. I-lis many fine qualities sadden us With the realization of our impotence to describe more vividly the pro- found beneficent influence he exerts upon all he contacts. Medical students are sceptical and cynical, hardly inclined to emote, yet Murray Be makes one feel cheap and unclean in com- parison - despite one's fairly decent reputation. l-lis mere presence fills one with confi- dence so essential in the quest for success. , One hundred twenty-two Maurice J.
