Wliat would medicine have done if these men, skilled, keen, swift, able, great scholars and teachers, sincere and eager in the search for medical truth, had chosen another profession? But like the figment of a bad dream we dismiss these unreal disturbing thoughts and find new joy in the contemplation of what to be thankful for. Outstanding among the many for whose learning, erudition and sym- pathy we can give but ineloquent thanks is Dr. Orman C. Perkins. Dr. Perkins was born in 1892 in the town of North Newburg, Maine, and attended the grammar schools of that town and Leeds. In 1910 he was graduated from the Edward Little High School in Auburn and entered Bates College in Lewiston. While at college he was popular as an impor- tant cog in the baseball, basketball and debating teams. He received a degree of A. B. in 1915, having previously been elected to the Phi Beta Kappa fraternity. The close of his college course marked the beginning of his pedagogical career. For one year after his graduation from college he taught Biology. In 1916, he came to New York as an instructor of Comparative Anatomy at Columbia, simultaneously demonstrating Histology in the Long Island College Hospital. He received his M. A. degree in 1917 from Columbia University and entered the Long Island College Hospital as a student, mean- while continuing his work in Comparative Anatomy and Bacteriology in our college. In his senior year, he was instructor in Anatomy and upon his graduation in 1921 was made Assistant Professor of Anatomy, from which position he was promoted to Associate Professor in 19233 teaching in the meanwhile Neurology in Columbia. In 1924, he was made Associate Pro- fessor in Neurology and in 1927 became Professor. As a sophomore in medical school, Dr. Perkins was already the author of a scientific thesis on Bacteriology, which work was done in conjunction with Dr. Oliver of our school. Later as a co-worker with Dean Miller, he published articles dealing with the histology of the heart. His latest pub- lication Glioma of the Medulla is now in press. Dr. Perkins is president of the Brooklyn Pathological Society, is a Fellow of the American College of Physicians, a member of the American Medical Association, American Anatomical Association, New York Neurolo- gical Society, Association for Research in Nervous and Mental Diseases, New York Medical Society, Kings County Medical Society, etc. The subject of Neurology, interesting, fascinating, limitless, is made doubly so by Dr. Perkins' unparalleled modus operandi in the clinic. A purposefully phrased question, a half hidden suggestion and the diagnosis is made. Tirelessly, patiently, kindly, he does not rest, emphasizing the point, not by elevation of his voice, but by his knowledge of psychology, his unique method of presentation calling attention to the salient facts by carefully chosen words and admirably executed contortions. His interest in students, his eagerness to help, his subtle humor and that sparkling twinkle in his eye which means an open heart, have endeared Dr. Perkins to us. Therefore do we, The Lichonian Staff, dedicate this our book, to Dr. Orman C. Perkins-student, teacher-yes-but above all, friend and gentleman. SAUL LEHV. L- I., ,. -Y . lfPaAge Six I
