CCR ET MANUS IMPERATRICCE , Wisdom Rules Us: Action n an effort to honor those students who have contributed much of their time and effort toward furthering activities at the College, and who have dem- onstrated loyalty and devotion to the aims and objectives of the College embodying those qualities that make for the highest type of citizens and physicians, Cor et Manus was founded. Its membership is by election, the results of which are announced at the President's Reception to honor members of the Senior Class. At this time these seniors are called forth to receive their scrolls from the founders of the society.

Morton Smith, M.D. lpha Omega Alpha is the national medical honor society, the only order of its kind in medical schools on this continent. It was established in 1902. The aims of the society are the promotion of scholarship and re- search in medical schools, the encouragement of a high standard of char- acter and conduct among medical students and graduates, and the rec- ognition of high attainment in medical science, practice and related fields. The New York Medical College chapter, Iota, is a relatively new one, being established in 1957. The new membership is chosen each year by the Alpha Omega Alpha members of the faculty and the student body on the basis of scholarship, personal honesty, and potential leadership. Each year Iota chapter sponsors a lecture by an outstanding person in medicine or related fields. This year Dr. john H. Knowles, Director of the Massachusetts General Hospital spoke on, The Expert in Society. Also faculty members of AOA invite the student members into their homes several times a yearto hold Iournal Clubsv in which the students present reviews of the literature on selected current topics.
