Therefore — the Class of 1938 deems itself highly honored to present the Synapsis of 1937, with most sincere pride, to Joseph F. Py, D.O., M.Sc.

SYNAPSIS, 1937 PROGRESS THIS constitutes the curse that spoils our life and sets man maundering of his misery, that there ' s no meanest atom he obtains of what he counts for knowledge — but he cries ' Hold there — I have the whole thing — know, this time, nor need search farther ' . Robert Browning. WE SEDULOUSLY inculcate in the coming generation exactly the same illusions and the same ilhplacedconfidence in existing and prevailing notions that have brought the world to the pass in which we find it. James Harvey Robinson. WE THINK of education as the trans- mission of a certain body of settled knowledge, when it should be rather the development of a scientific habit of mind. Will Durant.
