1923 ARTHUR D. KURTZ, M.D., F.A.C.S. Professor of Chiropodial Orthopedics The man who was loved and feared but never ignored. Underneath the mask of the fiery lecturer, the close observer could see without difficulty a man who had only the best interests of the class at heart. Doctor Kurtz was determined we should know his subject; he succeeded without a doubt. His lectures, covering every phase of the course, were nothing short of brilliant. But say—couldn’t he get a fellow into the tightest places when he started asking questions? We arc inclined to ask ourselves this question, “Could anyone else teach Orthopedics as he did? His examinations proved he was looking for what we knew and not for what we didn’t know. We can well appreciate having been under the instruction of so competent a man as he. He enjoys the thanks of an appreciative class. C. SCOTT MILLER, M.D. Professor of Bacteriology Doctor Miller made us feel from the beginning that there was nothing intricate about his subject. Here is another man who taught his subject in a clear-cut fashion. It is without flattery that we say Doctor Miller just radiated intelligence. We believe that the School of Chiropody is very fortunate in having such men as he upon the faculty. His lectures were intensely interesting, due to his remarkable ability for bringing before us instances of certain cases which he had treated himself. We assure him that his efforts have not been in vain. 6

£fje Itep — 1923 Jfactiltp FRANK A. THOMPSON, M.D. Professor of Pathology Our Dean, inclined to be a bit severe, but nevertheless a good fellow, indeed. He was a master of his subject and was listened to for hours, at different times. His was one class we never dared “cut. Under his able directorship, we see even a much brighter and better School of Chiropody at Temple University. R. R. WILLOUGHBY, M.D. Professor of Physiology The man who inspired confidence in us all. It is needless to say Professor Willoughby was easily our most popular professor. Could any one help but get his subject which he taught so full of enthusiasm, with here and there a dash of seasoning so as to make it more palatable. After being under him for a while, it became so we could not wait until he would again come for another lecture the following week. He certainly was a true friend of us all. For putting his subject across, he stands without equal. In years to come we may forget some of our professors, but we can never forget the big. robust, open-hearted man who taught Physiology. Sir, you have our admiration and thanks. 5

Cljc I CP 1923 PHILIPP FISCHELIS, M.D. Professor of Histology It doesn't take long for a class to recognize a true friend. He is indeed a past-master of his subject. Just how much Histology we will need in practice is an unknown quantity; however, we feel that coming in contact with such a man has been of untold profit to us as a whole. His quaint optimism, ready humor and timely encouragement will forever endear him to our hearts, even when college days and college ways will become to us an indistinct vision of pleasant times intermingled with intensive studies. MORRIS CORNFELD, M.D. Professor of Materia Medica Professor Comfeld was very popular with all the class. His good nature soon made the class feel he was our friend. While Materia Medica does not play such an extremely important part in the life of a Chiropodist, we feel that the knowledge we have acquired from such a man as Professor Comfeld. will never have been in vain. The little man with the bag and fur-collared overcoat will never be forgotten by the class of nineteen twenty-three. May he continue to be a well-liked professor by those who come after us. 7
