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.

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

ROBERT ROWEN, Ph.C., B.S. ProUtior of Chemistry FRANK N. R. BOSSLE. Ph.G.. D.S.C. Instructor in Chemistry CHEMISTRY Webster defines chemistry as the science which treats of the properties of elementary and compound substances and the laws which govern their molecular.and otomic relations. When we started our study of chemistry under the able tutelage of Professor Rowan and Dr. Bossle, we were certain that Webster's definition was inadequate. He never mentions the fact that chemistry embodies the mastering of cryptography! Truly, we ofttimes wondered how we could learn the ort of writing chemical symbols and knowing that they meant something other than a secret or ciphered character! However, with diligence and perseverance, our symbols became recognizable and with beakers, flasks, pipettes, test-tubes, and stirring rods, we conducted our experiments in the laboratory and introduced ourselves to Laws of Charles. Boyle, etc. The terms of Catalysts, Hydrates, Electrons Molecules, Ions, Solvents, Tinctures, Radicals, and Yttrium, unfolded their meanings to us and we now realize thot our efforts in learning the subject of chemistry will prove of importance to us in our field of chiropody. The time spent in learning inorgonic, organic, physiological chemistry, and urinalysis, will prove very valuable. CHIROPODY CHARLES E. KRAUSZ. O.S.C.. F.A.A.C. Doan and Professor of Onychopofhy Our course in Chiropody was very rightly stressed as the major study in our curriculum. No detail was too fine, no point too obscure, no phase too lengthy to be overlooked or passed off lightly. In our Freshman year, we were introduced to our profession by Dr. Engle, who lectured on the various aspects of sepsis and asepsis, sterilization technique, and the more common conditions with which the chiropodist is confronted. Dr. Briglia's weekly quizzes instilled us with a thirst for knowledge and a wariness of blue books. In our Sophomore year, Dr. Krausz transferred the diseases of nails from mere unpronouncoble appelations into recognizable conditions. As on authority on this subject, our dean more than fulfilled our desire for understanding. During this year, Dr. Rowe demonstrated the full meaning of the words protection and suitable pad. and under his skillful fingers felt ond moleskin underwent a metamorphosis ond were transformed into devices which would serve to relieve pain and pressure. Countless hours were spent trying his C. GORDON ROWE. B.S. D.S.C., F.A.C.S. Profasor of Clinical Chiropody
