John L. G-utovvski i Brooklyn, N. Y. St. Iohn's Alpha Sigma King's County Hospital There is such charm in melancholy I would not, if I could, be gay. A melancholic state does not always imply a depressed state. When Milton wrote Il Penser- oso , he meant not a man de- pressed by difficulties and hard- ships, but rather a man who planned- to overcome obstacles. I-Ie sang of a man who might one day lift himself by thought alone from the commonplace things in this World. Such a man is this dark hair- ed Brooklynite. Modern civiliza- tion has attempted to buffet him about as it has so many others, -but in vain. With unusual serenity in the face of hardship, his unruffled countenance re- flects an inner calmness which is a characteristic trait of his. An acquaintance with such a man is desirable. A friendship with such a man is invaluable. Ninety-one

Metropolitan Hospital Dynamic and high strung, Sam has charged through the rigors of medical school, undaunted and unsung. No tribute to his ceaseless medical curiosity has ever been rendered. Now, how- ever, we may publicly commend his untiring zeal and burning en- thusiasm which he has always so amply demonstrated to all who came in contact with him. In addition to his scholastic at- tainments, his well 'known lib- eral and tolerant views con- cerning social, economic, and religious questions have given him an enviable reputation. Too seldom is there this composite of scientific exactness and social liberality. He has united the two, and the result has been admirable. l-le leaves us with a fine record as a student, many mem- ories of good times, a promise of future reunions, and the knowledge that the future will portray him as a worthy physi- cian.

Ninety-two William L. l-leeve Brooklyn, N. Y. North Carolina University Alpha Sigma 'ii Flower Hospital His weakly drawl though short, too long. This tall, lean Brooklynite has passed among us for four years, at various times interjecting into our lives his mellow philosophy of life and Medicine. In early years unappreciative of his counsel, we later realized the truth of his many pronounce- ments. Bill was raised in an atmos- phere of medical lore and his calling to Medicine was one of heredity. His aims in life are threefold: to continue in later life the associations formed in medical schoolp to do anything that would forward the cause of Mediciney and, most important, to treat the patient as a human being. Fortunate indeed are we to have met this northern ex- ponent of southern culture. We shall bend our every effort so as not to lose track of him in the future.
