. y One of our Principles and Practice insiruclors in tiic sophomore year was jovial Dr. Nicholas S. Nicholas. Dr. Nick had many duties. He taught Athletic Injuries, supervised the extern program, conducted both a busy private and industrial medicine practice, was confidante to both student and administration, and taught manipulative techniques to all classes. It was evident that he got satisfaction from his work. We are sure that if he could just get enough adhesive tape to last through ten weeks of Gibney-boot making, there would not be a cloud in his sky. The semesters flew by, and the number of courses and subsequent linal examinations in- creased. As each examination period passed, the ranks of the virgins diminished. Would anyone survive nine sets of examinations without failing a course? It certainly did not look as if this was possible. Aside from the ever increasing number of final examinations, our second year was also marked by an outbreak of that strange and vague disease entity called Sophomoritis. Somehow, the second year medical student seems prone to develop many of the signs and symptoms which he reads about in his textbook. Dr. Tretta, we thank you for putting up with us that year. The third semester of the sophomore year was more interesting than any other, because we be- gan to study the specialties and the clinical as- pects of disease. Dr. Scharfs lectures on cardi- ovascular diseases scintillated with relevance, wit, and wisdom. Pediatrics, taught by Dr. Santucci, was another memorable course. Although he in- voked a ferocious manner, you could tell that he was a real good friend (or landsman, or paisan, as the case may be.). Gastroenterology was also enjoyable and worthwhile. In addition to peptic ulcer, gastric carcinoma, and ulcerative colitis, etc., we also are reminded of another entity dis- cussed by Dr. Frazier. called Montezuma ' s Re- venge. Invariably, each new lecturer would begin his presentation in the same manner: In the study of . . . , the importance of a thorough history and physical examination can not be overemphas- ized. After many repetitions of this basic con- cept, we were convinced of its merit. Now that our tastes had been verbally wetted, we longed to put our knowledge into practice, rather than just hear about it. However, one more year had to elapse before this would be possible.
