Wiseman, Professor and Chairman, Department of Medicine, 1944 to'1960) In the near future with the changing picture, the Ohio State College of Medicine will be a strange and unfamiliar place to the returning alumnus. Therefore, it seemed ap- propriate that the CADUCEAN theme should be MEMEN- TOES of medical and nursing schools, as we experienced them. Thus, with our MEMENTOES, we hope to fashion a photo album of how it was in 1964, that will serve as a means of recalling our years at this university. The College of Medicine at Ohio State University is undergoing marked transition. The Class of 1964 was the last freshman class to enter under the administration of Dean Doan. Now, the “Era of Dean Meiling” has begun, and continued advances in the medical program are being made. Included are a new grading scale of satisfactory (S), unsatisfactory (E), and honors (H); major curriculum changes; incorporation of the Para-medical Sciences—med- ical dietetics, medical technology, radiology technology, physical therapy—into the College of Medicine; continued emphasis on research; planned construction of a new basic science building complex at estimated cost of twenty million dollars; and probable enlargement of the medical classes to two hundred entering students. The School of Nursing, likewise, has experienced change, as the last class to graduate under the “old program” is the Class of ’64. Students who work “premium” are now called “nursing assistants” and wear white uniforms. More- over, students no longer all live in Neil Hall, the traditional nurses’ dorm, but also in sorority houses, rooming houses, apartments, and other dorms. Curriculum changes include an increased emphasis on the psychological aspects of patient care with consequent decrease in number of clinical hours. Furthermore, a journalism course and other non-nursing courses have been added to enable the nurse to acquire a more comprehensive college education. will surely Show...
