TEMPODIAN Senior (Liadd On the beautiful autumn morning of September 29, 1937, the sun rose in all its magnificent splendor to mark the opening of a glorious college career during which we as a whole were destined to play a leading part. We entered some 75 strong, as meek and lowly freshmen, determined to work hard for the glory and honor of the Class of 1941. We finally found our destination on the fifth floor of the Garretson Building. The first instructor that we had the pleasure of meeting was our Histology professor, Dr. Else, who, throughout our four years gained our admiration and respect. For the first few days, we were tremendously occupied in keeping together as a class, following rosters, absorbing lectures and diagrams, and equations. The days grew into weeks, lectures into quizzes, and so we gained momentum. It- was with great interest that we viewed life and the component parts of a cell through the microscope under the direction and supervision of Dr. Else. Our Dean, Dr. Willoughby, appointed Dr. Eby to act as our class advisor and class officers were also appointed. Our prom that year and each year since then was held at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. Who can forget the athletically inclined members of our class playing softball against the schools of Dentistry, Pharmacy, and our own upperclassmen. Before long, we were plunged for the first time into the cauldron of finals, and what a trip' it was! However, most of us escaped unscathed, though it was truly a racking experience. After four months of vacational labor, or leisure, we returned to our studies as Sophomores. The rooms, labs, and lecture halls seemed to extend to us a cordial greeting. Now we felt more like professional students. But our first class was with Dr. Stirling, who removed all our illusions and we were left with a lasting impression of his erudition and omniscience. Time elapsed so rapidly that before we realized it, we were on the brink of our first exam in Anatomy, under Dr. Harford, who became the donor of a pack of cigarettes to whoever received a hundred in his weekly exams. Very few risked a nicotine heart at Dr. Harford's expense. Do you remember Dr. Stirling's first blue book exam, and how you felt walking into his classroom at 9:01 or thereafter? During that year we experienced our first bit of class politics at our class elections. The year, as a whole, was quite normal except for the vacationless Easter JJ-idtor Page Twenty-seven

O D A N 19 4 1 which was brought about so that we could leave school sooner, to allow our new building to be constructed. Again, we indulged in our unfavorable pastime, known as final exams, to close another chapter in our professional career. When we returned to school as Juniors, new and greater responsibilities were thrown upon our shoulders. It was only now that we realized a double burden—clinical dutres and studies. We felt for the first time, the cold, clammy, silent bodies into whose legs we delved to seek the mysteries that only a Creator could evolve. We shall never forget this experience. How impressed all of us were in our first two years upon seeing those upperclassmen busily engaged with their keen and shiny instruments, but now it came to us; we, too, were now entrusted with the responsibility of treating suffering humanity. Who was the operator who first drew blood? Remember the feuds between Hoby and Schneyer? Also our mighty final exam in Anatomy. Other finals followed, a hard task: examinations which included three years' work. How thankful many of us were when our reports came through with no red ink. Once again we returned, this time as Seniors, with the incentive to clinch our work and sail through to the end with flying colors. As each day brings forth new experiences, so this year brought to us hospital assignments. How elated we felt when we walked into the hospitals realizing that we were now a part of the medical profession, whose duty it is to serve humanity. The monotony of studies, clinics, and exams was broken by our last and greatest Chiropody Formal held at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, with George Marlowe and his renditions of congas and rhumbas. Work was now begun on this, our Tempodian 1941. The staff of young men and women who willingly and graciously sacrificed much of their time with pleasure, that this book might go down as a memorandum to our four years of acquaintanceship and friendship. Now that we have spanned the last four years, let us each seek to carry with us the experience of past hard work and splendid professional training, that we may aid and further the welfare of humanity. Behind each one of us stand those who have placed their utmost faith in us. Let us respect them. Let us strive for higher ideals and grasp the branches rather than the blossoms, would we climb the tree of success. The past four years are most sacred in our minds and hearts, and may those who follow us in this great University maintain a similar sentiment. Progrediamus, JOSEPH A. CALVARESE. Historian.
