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

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

1 )t $U? — 1923 RONAYNE K. CLEBORNE, M.D. Professor of Minor Surgery Doctor Cleborne taught his subject with conviction. He will be remembered for the way he was always ready to accommodate us on early lectures, whenever possible. We profited greatly by his practical demonstrations in the clinic. We feel sure he was one of our many true friends. There was no great show with him, his way was plain simplicity, traits which made him well liked by the class in general. We extend to him our thanks and appreciation. HENRY H. BOOM, M.D. Professor of Chemistry-Hygiene The lecturer de-luxe, without an equal, is Doctor Boom, always ready with a humorous antidote to administer in case of chemical poisoning. Could any one else rock you to sleep more comfortably and without pain than Doctor Boom? We will know enough Chemistry in years to come to put learned chemists to shame, this all as a result of the thorough teachings of Doctor Boom. We profited not only in Chemistry and Hygiene by association with him, but also in human nature and professional ethics, both of which he taught us unselfishly from time to time. 8
