II M I II II II N II It wos with o keen sense of loss that the student body ana faculty mourned the passing of Roger E. E. Clapp in November, 1945. Each and everyone of us felt that we had lost a mentor and a friend. Dr. Clapp personified the true pedagogue, devoting himself fully and wholeheartedly to teaching. It would have been difficult to find a more versatile man, for he not only taught, but thoroughly mastered every one of his subjects. His experience in the teaching of languages, including Greek and Latin, mathematics, history, English, music, pointing, his research in psychology and in the literary field created his colorful and vibrant personality. He was a sincere and loyal champion of our profession and wos deeply interested in furthering its advancement to its proper place in the medical world. Forceful, with a dominant character that completely engrossed one, Professor Clapp impressed all with whom he came in contact. He left a vivid memory with all of us that con never be erased from our minds. PROFESSOR ROGER E . E . CLAPP

To The Class of 1946: The period of training you have just finished is but the beginning of your professional education. You have been given merely the basis upon which to build your practice; the rest is in your hands. We can never say our education has been completed because each new day brings new problems which must be solved. In order to continue to meet our problems competently, we must advance: we must constantly read and study new scientific developments. This is a great age for reseorch and experiment, and we must endeavor to keep abreast of the times in our professional work. I wish you happiness and success in your future life. CHARLES E. KRAUSZ, Dean. DEAN CHARLES E. KRAUZ Mrs. Moore, the Dean's secretary, keeps a steady hand on the pulse of the school and it is largely through her loyal and sincere efforts that 1810 Spring Garden Street is run so efficiently and smoothly.

ANATOMY Blood, sweat, and tears''—yes. that's Anatomy. It is not a Dorland definition to be sure, but ask any Chiropody student and he will tell you that this description is none too opt. However, looking back in retrospect, we realize that too much value cannot be placed on our study of Anatomy for it is the basic groundwork for our other subjects. Every surface, tuberosity, fossa, tubercle, foromin of every bone: every nerve, every blood vessel with its branches; the origin, routes, actions, insertions, of every muscle, thanks to Dr. Harford, became known to us. second in familiarity only to our name. Wednesday morning quizzes kept us alert and up-to-date. Dissection was the proving ground to test our powers of recognition for all that we had learned. Many of us discovered to our sorrow that you cannot olwoys tell the quality of a leg by its epidermal covering. But through the able guidance of Drs. Harford and Kaufman the mystery of the unknown became the wonder of the known. WOWAS M. LOGAN. A. .. l -0 Profouor ot Bac riotogY G. ELMER HARFORD. D.S.C. Professor of Anatomy HENRY KAUFFMAN.

Surprisingly enough, they sleep, eat, and drink, almost like humans. Thanks to the c ear an concise lectures of Dr. Logan, and under the able guidance or Dr. Leberknight in our laboratory work, we students obtained a lucid understanding of the pathogenic and non-pothogenic organisms and their relation to chiropody. Our laboratory technique included he various methods of staining bacteria, the handling of bacterial cultures, the use of the microscope and the sterilization of materials. We thoroughly mastered the identification, classification, and characteristics of oil micro-organisms. The varieties of blood typing, the theories of immunity, and blood serologicol tests were explained to us in minute detoil. Our practical work gave us the opportunity to test these theories. We are grateful to both Dr. Logan and Dr. Leberknight for their excellent presentation of this subject. They have gjven us on excellent background for our future work.
