It functions as the governing body for student activities and acts as liaison between the student body and the faculty and administration. Problems are pre- sented and discussed by members of the Senate. In past years the Senate has been very successful in its endeavors to meet the needs of the students and the Medical College. This year the Senate has even furthered its influence by improving its working relationship with the faculty and increasing the scope of student activities.

Albin he Iunior Branch of the American Medical Women's Association is now in its second year at New York Medical College. The group was formed in the spring of 1965 when we felt a need for a women,s professional organi- zation that was afliliated with a national one. Following a tradtion established by the fraternity which preceded us we held a buffet dinner during the first week of school to welcome the new freshmen women. This year's plans included a meeting with women medical students from other medical schools. In March we met with a group from Downstate Medical Col- lege and had a chance to compare experiences both as medical students and more specifically as women medical students. Our meetings with women physicians in training and in practice have been an important aspect of our organization. We have had the chance to learn how other women have handled the problems particular to women in medicine as well as to explore those special contributions that we as women can make to our field. We hope the organization will continue to grow and provide a meaningful opportunity for women medical students to meet with each other and with women in practice.
