EEUWENHOEK saw them first, Pasteur put them in perspective, Koch isolated them, and we memo- rized them. We also collected them, stained them, streaked them, innoculated them, identified them, and were of course examined on them by Dr. Briody and his high powered staph . Despite a six day week and record breaking snowstorms, We found the world of the wee beastiesv a fascinating study, and ourselves closer to the World of the clinician. Dr. Maurer gave us antigens and antibodies in lec- tures, and took our blood in syringes. Dr. Kaminski opened the door to the staphylococcus, and Dr. Cirillo explained the lowly fungus and high flying tsetse fly. Dr. Gillis spoke on allergy, but it was Dr. Maurer who drove the point home by putting Corriere and Bavuso into ana- phylaxis. Small is the virus, but large it loomed on quizzes. Drs. Wolin and Durr introduced tongue-twisters such as Monkey Kidney Tissue Cultures , and letters such as ECHO, REO, and PAP as we tried to envision plasma cells dividing, lymph nodes enlarging, and titers rising. After we befriended Dr. Bevis and significant bacteri- mia , we enthusiastically hissed the Foley catheter. Then, in the middle of it all, guest lecturer Dr. Kingsley Amos befuddled us with his C57 Black and C3H strains of mice. Finally, coming to the end of things, We sedimented feces with Dr. Stool, er Stahl, slapped our backsides with Scotch Tape swabs, and searched well into the night for round eggs and sharp scolices. All that was left was a final exam, and we collapsed into Christmas Vacation.

I' ll! i . mm H .H 'E ls t 44 Y AND LARGE this affair comprised more hours both in and out of the classroom than any other course in our first two years of medical school. Over eighty per cent of our lectures were given by one man-Dr. Hugh Grady, who, besides flexing his knees, tucking in his chin, fingering a pant leg, and pulling on his nose, magically maneuvered difficult con- cepts into words that even our untrained minds could understand. A lantern slide produced at the proper time, or an appropriate quotation from a classic treatise, made us stop scribbling notes now and then and realize why our Professor called pathology the queen of the medical sciences . The second part of the afternoon was spent before the micro- scope trying to visualize the polys chewing up bacteria, and fi- broblasts walljng in or walling out the whole process. In between a cigarette or a Coke, we had the experience of innumerable visit- ing pathologists Qmany eminent men in their private endeavorsj to help us peel the onion skin, grind the nutmeg, and pit the mil- let seed. Conferences were informal and small-except for Dr. Sal- gado's group which seemed to enlarge weekly as his reputation grew. Dr. Pietroluongo's slide reviews ran a close second, and Dr. wit udder words Ultmann dazzled us with her interpre- tations of Dr. Netter's famous drawings. All was not togetherness Frank Bavuso discovered when he was called to the podium and attempted to separate uafferenti' from efferent . Later Pinky Walsh shared F rankis feelings when he brought up a moot point or two while observing Haley's Comet flash across the screen. Scattered written examinations and a practical prodded us into many hours learning lists and reviewing voluminous notes. Enjoyable sessions were always expected and always experienced at the Saturday morning organ recitalsv and on our trips to the morgue, where we were taught by the dead . . . perhaps the most indelible lessons We shall ever learn. 27
