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.

Bellaire, L. I. St. Iohn's B. S. Alpha Sigma Vice-President 2 Nicholas A. Knox, Jr. He knew the psychological moment to say nothing. We do not doubt but that Nick has often been referred to as the blond giant from the forests of Bellaire . Perhaps such a refer- ence was only made in his ab- sence, but nevertheless it was inevitable. His cosmopolitan nature, however, belies his ori- gin. His stern sense of justice is delicately tempered with an un- canny talent for understanding the shortcomings and Weakness- es of a lesser man . He firmly believes in individual freedom in every sense of the word. He expects others to respect his views as he would respect theirs. His booming voice, interrupted occasionally by roaring laugh- ter, Will echo forever in our re- collection. His is an heritage that will make history. Of such men are heroes made. We shall forever be proud that he calls us friend. ' King's County Hospital C .:.'L' Y W' Ninety-nine

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
