MOON M. C. MALEY Editor Photography As the last pages of this book are prepared for the printer, we want to thank the many people who have aided us in producing the first CADUCEUS. In a student contest the name Caduceus was submitted many times. Bill Robinson was, however, first to make the sugges- tion, and to him goes the honor of naming the annual of the Southwestern Medical College. The entire faculty have cooperated in purchasing copies of the book and placing their names in the professional directory. Without their support the annual would not have been possible. We are especially indebted to Iohn B. Williams for the cartoons. Even though ill- ness forced him to leave school, he still found time to do the drawings. Mr. A. B. Eisenlohr of The Dorsey Company and Mr. Harry Crenshaw of Southwestern Engraving Company have given much time and interest in planning the printing and engraving. Dr. H. M. Win- ans is to be thanked for the article concerning the Fifty-sixth Evacuation Hospital. We are also indebted to Mr. Mac Cahal for the dedi.cation. Dean Slaughter and his secretary, Miss Lavonia Rhorie, have helped in numerous ways. In general, the local firms solicited for ads were very cooperative and displayed a sur- prising interest in Dallas New Med School. However, a majority of the national drug firms fthe ones with detail ment remain refractile, since such advertising is Not our policy. We hope that the firms with ads in the book receive consideration as they helped to make the annual financially possible. Although it has been difficult to initiate a new yearbook and our time has been limited, do you think we would for one moment refuse if again offered the job?' Sincerely, THE STAFF ' The answer to this question will gladly be conveyed in private to anyone desiring such information. Page 88

Posr First Sergeant Staff Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant The Army Specialized Training Unit at Southwestern Medical College was activated on August 21, 1943. Civilian students in the senior and junior classes entered the Army in Dallas on August 27th, and after being processed at Camp Wolters, Texas, were returned to the college on August 30th. They began their studies as trainees in the Army Specialized Training Program the following day, attending classes conducted by the Army authorities as Well as their regularly scheduled medical classes. Colonel Henry F. Phillips, M.C., was the Unit's first Commandant. Lt. W. E. Landis, AGD, was the Adjutant at that time. Since the activation of AST Unit No. 1809, it has been com- manded by Capt. W. I. Rodgers, Inf., Lt. Landis, and the present Commandant, Lt. B. E. Grossman, AGD, of Corpus Christi, Texas. Lt. Michael Kowalchick, AGD, is present Adjutant. On December 30, 1943, the freshman and sophomore classes of civilian students were ad- mitted to the Army program and after processing at Camp Wolters were assigned to duty with this unit. At the present time, therefore, there are four complete classes of medical train- ees undergoing both the Army and college programs of study. At the first commencement exercises held by the school on March 19, 1944, the Army senior trainees were discharged from the Army as enlisted men immediately after their graduation and commissioned lst Lieutenants in the Medical Corps, AUS. They will be called to active duty upon completion oi their nine-months internships. Page 90 i
