THE mp SKULL i u 5 2 I Z5 v C � ■ . •• «. “ THE SKULL ■ ) COMi’RIiSS within the covers of any hook, how- ever voluminous, the Record of the Class of 1925. is a far greater undertaking than the twelve Labors of Achilles combined. It would ret|uire the genius of a Lemosthenes to review the past four years in a fitting and appropriate manner. Yet ours has been the joyous task of compiling such an Anthology. Ye have sought neither to throw a rosy glow about the good and brilliant attributes of our friends, nor to turn the searchlight upon their failings. The aim of this hook is to record in permanent form the mo: t important phases and incidents of our class at Temple Medical College. If in some far-off’ future year, you, gentle reader, shall take from some dusty shelf, this book, and if as yon turn its pages o’er with sacred care and swelling heart, there arise before you memories of our happy years spent here, our feeble efforts will not have been in vain. Temple has become dear to our hearts. Its traditions, standards and future are a part of our lives. It is impossible for us to breathe into these lifeless pages the full significance of familiar classroom scenes, and that powerful influence in the life of every student The Temple Spirit. Many dear friends have been made among Faculty and Classmates. In parting, our friends may he far distant from us and their companionship lost, but their influence leaves a lasting impression on our lives as members of a class whose spirit is Ideal, t'nbroken and L’nstained.

(Edin.), L.R.C.P. (Edin.), L.F.P.S. (Glasgow) Professor of Anatomy and Histology We deeply realize that to us has been vouchsafed the privilege and the honor of association and instruction from the Spirit of a Man. The sad and silent Hand of Death has deprived us of the Friendship of one to whom friendship was the highest attribute of men. So strange it seems that he who began with us, as he did, should end with us, in this manner. And yet, stranger than this was the peculiar attraction and interest he had for us, his ideal class. It is a mysterious question to which there may be an answer in the future, replete with meaning to those who were initiated into the gentle charm of his personality. His life was one of adventure, a romance with which some novelist might stir the world and vet he attained the highest rank and recognition within his chosen profession, lie brought the training of great universities, knowledge gleaned from the far-flung corners of the earth, the broad experiences of a lifetime, and laid them in willing sacrifice at our feet. In what seems now to have been fateful and significant terms, he often expressed his hope and faith that his own contribution to life would be manifested through us. As we passed from beneath his care, the fibrils of his heartstrings folded like the lilies of the field, but the fragrance of their fruitage gave fresh emanations at our slightest touch. David Gregg Methcny had but one heart to give to a class and he gave it to us unselfishly and nobly. He is not dead, but has simply changed his form to be our Guardian Spirit in the few short years to come and we may rest assured he will never call a roll. Leaves have their time to fall, And flowers wither at the northwind's breath, And stars to set. but all, Thou hast all seasons for thine own. O Death. We know when moons shall wane, When summer birds from far shall cross the sea, When autumn’s hue shall tinge the golden grain, But who shall teach us when to look for thee?—11 cmaus. Morrison Saltus. 7 THE DOCTOR THE SKULL The Doctor i HE famous picture which we have here inscribed was painted by Sir S. Luke Elides, an English artist, and was first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1891. its success was immediate and today it is well known and loved in botli England and America. The popularity of the picture is due to the strong appeal that it makes to the higher and finer qualities of mankind and the rcsjxmse that it evokes in every bosom. The heartbroken mother and the stem-faced, vigilant father half hidden in the shadows of the background, the stricken child on its homely pallet, and the kindly, watchful physician bent over the little sufferer—all these have their counterpart in the experience of everyone who has encountered sickness and death. There is a most careful attention to detail, too often lacking in our impressionistic modern painting. The homely furnishings of the room, almost lost in the shadow, are, nevertheless, clearly depicted, and are without exception in keeping with the spirit of the picture. Even the bird is silent in his cage, as if he. too, were imbued with the sense of waiting and dread. It will often be our lot to enter upon and be the central figure in such a scene as this. May the character which is so plainly written upon the face of “THE DOCTOR” be ours. May we embrace every opportunity to give aid to the suffering and comfort to those in sorrow. And may our human sympathy and medical skill always go hand in hand in the warfare against disease and death. 9 THE SKULL The Doctor GENTl'RIES ago, Seneca said, “The first movement which gives us birth begins to take life from us. Life is the beginning of death and death is the entry into a new life.” The statement seems like a paradox, but it is only a terrifying simple truth. Every detail of the complex activities of life marks only a minor engagement into a huge warfare between the strange force that animates us and antagonistic forces and influences which ultimately destroy us. Even the highest spiritual activities, the act of worship, the creation of poetry, literature and other works of art. are performed, like the simplest muscular task, at the expense of tissue. Every expenditure of energy is a destruction of cell life. From birth to death, the body undergoes a constant insensible process of degeneration and regeneration. Life and death walk hand in hand. When the rebuilding keeps pace with the waste, we live—when it lags, we die. Man. supreme in the earthly creation, is born and lives his three-score years, when, as it docs with every living creature, death stalks upon him and ends his activities, his ambitions, his joys and sorrows and his body returns to the earth from whence it came. That mysterious principle which we call life is, and always will remain, beyond the grasp of man. We know that it is some reality, but it is incomprehensible to the limited intelligence of man. We go in a mist of mysteries and hail it a great discovery if we catch some fleeting glimpse of a hostile organism at work. But we know that life is a constant struggle against such hostile forces, and that injury, disease or the more gradual processes of senile decay, can conquer life and that no human skill can again set it in motion. Restoration of the dead to life is only possible at the hands of llim Who created man and first gave life. So goes the human life—with all its clamorings. all its turbulent activities, doomed to the silent victory of death. And in this losing fight there stands, like a solitary defender against an oncoming host, the heroic figure of the physician. All his training and education are to prepare him for his duties toward humanity. For this do men honor him, that his knowledge and skill, his energies and ambitions, his hopes, fears, triumphs and defeats are bound up in his daily intelligent struggle with death. He is dedicated to a heroic purpose, to an unfaltering tight. His call to battle is found in the air. Vet his triumphs 10 THE SKULL arc but temporary and bis greatest victor) is but a delayed defeat. For all that, light on he must until he is beaten back and his last effort fails against the foe. Who is it that is so hastily summoned when the shadows of death darken the light of the living? When pain tortures the body and life hangs in the balance? He is the guardian of the well and the courage of the sick. One needs more than skill to be a good physician. There is a call for devotedness, and for generosity of character. It is the glory of the medical profession that it numbers among its members men of such gifts as well as men of scientific achievements. Its standard of success is not material or financial. The greatest physician is not he who has made the most money out of his profession, but the man who has done the most good for humanity in serving his suffering fellow-men. The physician is the servant of the i oor as well as of the rich, of those who cannot reward him—even often of those who will not reward him—as of those who recompense his services with the best return they can make him. Mis life is one of continued sacrifice and unselfishness. He exposes himself cheerfully to disease. lie sets his own health and his comfort below that of his fellowmen. He faces hardships which they often do not fully appreciate. But some day lie. too, will fall, a victim of the same destroying forces in the midst of the fight he is waging against the enemies of life. Some day, too, with failing strength and in misery of pain, into that realm—the dark borderland, from where he has drawn back so many others. But in his days lie is rich in opportunity to leave behind him a harvest of generous deeds. And here, fellow classmates, as I close and as we step out into the world with a degree of Doctor of Medicine, let us think over these few words, realize their meaning and if we are faithful to our vocation, we may look forward to a life of unblemished service to all mankind. 5 11 H. E. Bacon. THE SAMARITAN HOSPITAL THE SKULL HE Medical Department of Temple University advocates a high standard in medical education. Its teachers are carefully selected from men and women well qualified by training, education and experience for teaching their special subjects. The high standard attained by the graduates of this department before the various state boards of medical examiners lias been prc-cminentlv satisfactory, a fact of which the institution is justly proud. The Samaritan Hospital was opened to the students, and clinical teaching is conducted in the amphitheatre, dispensaries and wards of this growing institution. The Faculty was gradually and carefully increased, and conditions improved as the classes grew. In the year 1907. the Temple College was granted the title of Temple University bv the courts of Philadelphia. This made the Medical Department in name as in fact the department of a great University. Shortly after the granting of the name Temple University, there was an affiliation of the Temple University with the Philadelphia Dental College and the Garretson Hospital and the Medical School was, in 1907, transferred to the Philadelphia Dental College buildings. Eighteenth and Buttonwood Streets. This at once gave the school commodious quarters. The Medical Department of the Temple University, in 1901. had thirty-one matriculates, for the year 1924-1925 it enrolled 222 students. In the 1907 the school established a four-year day course of eight and a half months each. During the past year new laboratories have been constructed and equipped in Histology and Embryology; Physiology; Bacteriology and Pathology: Physiological Chemistry and the Anatomical Rooms. The Museum has been altered to make it serve the practical purpose for daily teaching and not a room to house a ‘‘collection of material. The Library, in charge of a full-time librarian, is continually adding new books and periodicals. The present Faculty consists of four Emeritus Professors, twenty Professors, four Clinical Professors, fourteen Associate Professors, sixteen Associates, seventeen Lecturers, thirteen Demonstrators, seventeen Instructors and thirty-one Clinical Assistants, a total of one hundred and thirty-six. The Temple University has three hospitals which are used for clinical instruction. The greater portion of the teaching is done at the Samaritan Hospital; the Grcatheart Hospital is devoted to maternity cases and the Garretson Hospital also is used for clinical teaching. In addition the student body is assigned for instruction to the Philadelphia General Hospital, the Philadelphia Hospital for Contagious Diseases and the Eagleville Sanitarium with its dispensary service at the Phipps Institute. A new wing to the Samaritan Hospital soon will l e completed and alterations will be made to the old wing, so that the new Samaritan Hospital will have three hundred beds. THE SKULL Russell H. Conwell ffi ORE than forty years ago there came to Philadelphia a man peculiarly fitted to do a definite work. 1 le was of New England ancestry, bom and reared at South Worthington. Massachusetts. After completing his studies at Wilbraham Academy, he entered Yale in 1S59. At nineteen he left college to enter the Union Army as captain. lie served two enlistments and was discharged with the rank of colonel. In 1865. Colonel Russell H. Conwell was graduated in law from Albany University. His experience was further broadened by his service as a newspaper correspondent at home as well as in foreign fields. He then entered upon what bade fair to be an unusually successful law practice in Boston, Massachusetts. Colonel Conwell felt the call to religious sendee; he relinquished his law practice, enrolled at Newton Theological Seminary and was ordained in the Christian ministrv in 1879. After a short pastorate in Lexington. Massachusetts, the Rev. Russell II. Conwell accepted the call to Grace Baptist Church, Philadelphia, and entered upon his duties on Thanksgiving Day, 1882. Two years later there came to the Pastor’s study a young man seeking advice. lie desired to enter the ministry, but lacked the necessary education. A small group, inclining this young man, were gathered together for instruction by Rev. Russell H. Conwell. This class grew and in two years required a separate building and many teachers. In 1888. the charter of Temple College was secured and the power to confer degrees granted. The same year, day school was established. On December 12, 1907. the charter was amended, changing the name to Temple University. The professional schools and hospitals developed with the University. The enrollment is now more than 11.000 students, all due to this modest beginning by Rev. I)r. Conwell in 1884, and with his characteristic energy continued up to the present time. Temple University came into l cing because Doctor Conwell believed that humanity's problems could l e solved by education and the recognition of universal brotherhood. With steadfast faith in this ideal, he applied himself diligently to bring it into realization; in this effort he has given an example of supreme sacrifice and unselfishness. The satisfaction of service and the joy of achievement represented by the life of Doctor Conwell comes with peculiar significance to medical men. Their lives will be richer because of this heritage and through them the ideal of Rev. Russell 11. Conwell will go on to further realization, making the world better and happier because of it. 14 C.

This association was noted for its frequent conferences and conflicts (mostly conflicts) during the day. “Hans would occasionally visit the class, and on several occasions caused a sensation by appearing the first hour. Whether this appearance was to cause sudden shock anti death of one of the professors is a mystery. “Fritz also is a great caricaturist, taking great delight in representing ludicrously such men as McEIwec, Herman.

JUNIOR CLASS THE SKULL Junior Class Life is short, and the .Irt lout ; the time is Urgent; Experiment is dangerous, and decision is difficult.'' aLL views of the nature of disease must rest on facts, experiment, theory, practice and reason. All valid thinking is based on the data supplied by the senses, the understanding giving meaning to these phenomena, noting the manner of the occurrence, their times and the relation between them of cause and effect. All of our conclusions must be grounded on observation. We. as future physicians, in order that we may acquire mastery in the Art of Medicine, should therefore hold to facts and to theory; theory being the llower, not the root of experience. To study medicine, one must have the following essentials: An inherent or natural disposition, instruction, a favorable place for study, means for tuition, love of labor and leisure. First of all a natural talent is required, for were nature to oppose, everything else would be in vain, but when nature leads the wax to what is most excellent, instruction in the Art takes place, which the student must try to appropriate to himself by reflection, becoming an early pupil in a place well adapted for instruction. He must also bring to the task love of labor and perseverance, so that the instruction, taking root, may bring forth proper and abundant fruits. Instruction in medicine is like the culture of the productions of the earth. Our natural disposition is. as it were, the soil; the tenets of our teachers the seed: instruction like the planting of the seed in the ground at the proper season; the place where the instruction is communicated, like the nourishment imparted to plants by the atmosphere; diligent study, like the cultivation of the fields; and it is time which imparts strength to all things am! brings them to maturity. We, as students of the Junior Class, should now realize that having completed almost three-fourths of our studies in the Medical School, possess the advantages of the study of medicine. We should take pride in ourselves, in our ideals, our teachers, our school and our achievements. With the symbol of the Caduccus before us. let us strive to ever be as watchful and as keensighted as the eagle, and ever on the alert to acquire the wisdom, the shrewdness and the staunchness of heart of the serpent. Thus. Colleagues, may our motto for the next year be. Facta Son Uerba, and as a unit let us strive diligently that we may blossom forth as a product symbolic of the Faculty and the School of Medicine of Temple Cniversity. Cl I AS. Gettks.

However, we managed to buckle down and struggle through our first year with only a few casualties. As Dr. Hartley would say. “our ‘mortality rate' was not excessive.' Furthermore, we realized that none but a medical student can truly appreciate a summer vacation. In September, 1924, we returned full of lordly superiority. Were we not now SOPHOMORES? Alas, again our sins rose up and smote us. We found we had still, oh! so much to learn. In fact, we, who were so impressed with our hardily gotten knowledge, were forced to acknowledge that we did not know as much as we thought, or nothing at all. when we were given a chance to raise our grades.” However, steadily we continue our onward march to that goal, which is an emblem of worth and achievement. And we wish to express to the graduating class our heartiest wishes for their continued success in their life work. As to our followers, the lowly Freshmen, who this year arc certainly the “freshest of the fresh.” we can only say. Follow in our footsteps and ye will do well.” 69 Harold Mengel.

Co-existent with the organization of the class, a great feeling of industry developed, so that the faith placed in us would not be betrayed. We realize that the field ahead demands the seriousness of every member of the class; that the scope of the work is practically limitless, and that “aims, ambitions and persistency is common to the medical profession.” The intuition of the true investigator and pathfinder of today must find its own way to the guiding of new principles from the work of yesterday. This thought applies to our pre-medical days. We have experienced a swift realization that they are over. It is true, however, that each age steps on the shoulders of the ages which have gone before, but this age of ours, commonly known as “first year'” seemed at first unattached and entirely foreign. We were, to put it mildly, lost in a maze of facts. But as time rolled on we became impressed with the importance of our various subjects. Practical fruition displayed itself; the gold was shown and the mysteries of medicine began to unfold themselves. It is difficult to penetrate the veil of the future. To perceive what the Fates and Furies have in store for us, is beyond the mental endowments of Freshmen. We can, however, behold a sign of success in the distance. We can see a kind future—a goal which can be attained. But we must WORK. And we will. As a class we take this opportunity to compliment the founders of the Medical Year Book. It's a credit to the medical department, and should be considered a part of it. 73 Edward F. McDade. THE SKULL Freshman Class EDWARD F. McDADE ............................

The date. Monday, September 19. 1921. There is a continual hum of mutual introductions, for the majority have never met each other previously. There and then the foundation of the Class of ’25 of the Temple University Medical School was laid. With Professor William H. Reese, our Associate Dean, acting as chairman, our class was duly organized with Joseph Me.Moose as president. Let your thoughts carry’ you back to a scene in the lower amphitheatre with Professor D. Gregg Methcny in the pit. It was his opening lecture as Professor of Anatomy. ‘‘Shipmates ' he said, “we have chartered a boat to sail the stormy seas of medical wisdom. Let us bend our efforts in unison in order to gain success.” That ensuing hearty applause still rings in my ears. The mysteries of the dissecting room, chemistry laboratory under the guidance of Mr. Shinier, the laboratory of histology and embryology’ with Doctor Fischellis, made the days fly. The Freshman year in the dissecting room proved to be a memorable one. An outstanding feature was the close association of Professor Methenv with the class. His word of advice in gentle terms as he walked from table to table, that feeling of comradeship when he spoke of incidents in England and Egypt, his timely joke to break the monotony of continual endeavor, all this implanted in the class the highest respect and reverence for our beloved Captain. That humble room with six tables huddled together, due to lack of space, with sanita- 75 THE SKULL lion impossible, the windows whitened so that its cryptic contents may not he revealed to the world at large, the students clothed in overalls, for that was the cheapest garment, their knives gently exposing the organs that contain the secrets of life itself—all these pictures unfolding to us a vision that can never he eradicated. The Christmas spirit instilling in the class a desire to show our appreciation for the efforts of the Faculty in our behalf, resulted in some material gifts for them. Cigarettes and cigars were distributed to all members of the Faculty who taught the class. The presentations were preceded by orations by different members of the class. surprise was in store for ns upon our return from the holiday season. We received invitations to attend a reception given by the Faculty at the Rittenhouse Hotel. It was a memorable night for it signified a rejuvenated medical school. Identification cards pinned on the coats of professor and student alike served as mutual introductions. It helped to stress one of the ideals of Temple University—equality and good-will. The class decided to have a banquet to which all the professors associated with us were invited. Steadily labored the committee under the able leadership of Ted” Bacon. The banquet was held at Kugler's on April 25, with Professor Reese as toastmaster. Music was rendered by members of the class composing the “Sensational Five.” Class elections for the Sophomore year resulted in the election of William Goodman as president. The crucial period soon followed. Burning the midnight oil was the order of the hour, for the final exams were with us. During the examination in Physiological Chemistry, Professor Reese announced his resignation from the Faculty. Our regret was intense. The finals over, the class disbanded for the summer vacation, thus concluding a year manifold in its teaching and varied in its experiences. Eight new members were added to our class. Several additions to the Faculty were made. Professor Melvin A. Saylor was elected to the Chair of Physiological Chemistry and Professor rthur C. Morgan to the Chair of Applied Therapeutics; Doctor William X. Parkinson as Associate Dean and Associate in Surgery. 76 SKULL THE Once more did the Class of '25 establish a precedent. A dance was given to the Freshman Class at the gvni of College Hall on November 12. 1922. To witness the amount of work put forth by the entire class in order to decorate the gym as well as in our capacity of host, emphasized the degree of co-operation abounding in the class. It proved to he a huge success. The precedent is now being followed by each successive class. The Freshman Class returned the courtesy by inviting us to a dance later on in the year. Due to the efforts of the class, the Mickey Physiological Society was organized. The organization has nourished from the start. The Sophomore Banquet was held at the Rittenhouse Motel on April 22. As a source of promotion t � good fellowship between Faculty and students it had no equal. Our Dean, Doctor Frank C. Hammond, served as toastmaster; that in itself is enough to conclude that the banquet was a huge success. Class elections soon followed. J. D. McFlwee was chosen president of the Junior Class. Soon afterward we were deeply engrossed in the linal examinations—we came, we saw. we conquered. Practically one hundred per cent, of the class became Juniors. At the Samaritan Hospital at last! What a change in environment! We participated in the practical work in the wards and dispensaries in conjunction with the Senior Class. Clinics and Junior Surgery were conducted by Professor Steel. The thrill of being called down to the pit for the first time is indeed a memorable one. At 'he beginning the routine washing up was a revelation, but before many weeks had passed the class went through the performance without a slip in technique. Four members of the female sex were added to the class. To begin with, the reaction was one of awe: later, however, it was substituted by pleasant association and an earnest desire to help each other. The amalgamation was complete within a few weeks. On November 15. 1922. the Senior and Junior ( lasses moved to the Masonic Home. This enabled the sadly needed alterations to the old Jperating Room to take place. Our pleasant quarters in the Chapel of the Home were vacated after the Christmas holidays. We returned to our former abode. The annual Class Banquet was held at the Bellevuc-Stratford Hotel. ’Twas celebrated in true aristocratic fashion. 77 THE SKULL The long awaited event finally arrived. Ground was broken for the new addition to the Samaritan Hospital in the latter part of April, 1924. We worked diligently and steadfastly during the Junior year to master the new subjects added to our curriculum. Fifteen final examinations left us weak, pale and dyspncic. In spite of the many obstacles, we finally overcame them. Dame Fortune once more blessed us. We emerged from the strenuous struggle unscathed. Seniors at last! The pinnacle of our ambitions within grasp! One wing of the New Samaritan Hospital was completed before our return to school. Ground was being broken for the southern wing of the building. A pardonable pride possessed us as we gazed with anticipation and glory at the new structure. The basement of the Nurses’ Home comprised our Lecture Room. The old Operating Room was refitted to serve as our Clinical Amphitheatre. The brilliance of a dazzling future for Temple overshadowed any inconvenience we may have experienced. The cornerstone of the new building of the Samaritan Hospital was laid by our beloved Doctor Russell H. Conwell or. November 26. 1924. That was an occasion for happiness among all of us. Truly the beginning of the realization of our dreams. Our attention was next directed toward the successful publication of a Class Hook and a Class Ranquet. Iloth these undertakings are now nearing completion. Mem1 ers of the class are in anxious expectation of the various hospital appointments. Before many weeks will have passed we will be looking forward toward graduation. It will be with mingled joy and regret that we will leave our Alma Mater. Regret, that we will lose that cherished association with the Faculty and fellow students. Joy, that we are entering into the practice of an art and science so close to our hearts—the Practice of Medicine. We bid thee farewell, but not good-bye, dear Temple, for those sweet memories shall be a source of pleasure for the remainder of our lives. Louis H. Weiner. 78 THE 5KULL Class Poem OXCE upon a midnight dreary I worked hard; as usual, weary, On a task that made me sore: In a realm that was confounding On a poem I was pounding?— Which I had not tried before. And I vowed ere it was ended— I'pon which so much depended— I would try it never more. Then I prayed. I plead, entreated. To the muse I so much needed. But I blundered as before. J i I lived to tell the story. Not for love, or gold, or glory. Would T write a single poem evermore; With my soul almost despairing On the fate of poet's faring I did write this simple lore. 79 THE SKULL Our time has come when we must go Forth on life’s ocean for weal or woe, And guide life’s ship through wave and blast To yon haven of rest, where aU anchor at last. And here we stand in doubt and dread, For the pathway of life is hard, 'tis said; And many a storm, and many a doubt Will beset our journey and drive us about Till we fain would believe our boat aground ()n the breakers and rock all yawning around. Hut what others have done, so can we; We'll man the ships and sail the sea, Tho’ the billows and waves as mountains roll. nd the sun he darkened from jxde to pole. For where there’s a will there’s always a way. And success will come to him each day Who does faithful and well what befalls his lot, And bemoan not his Fate or things he has not. Hut let us not pierce the future too soon. And waste Life’s morning in thinking of noon, For time quickly speeds with the wings of the blast. And the glad hours of youth all too quickly are past In Memory’s page and the future is here With its pain and its sorrow, or words of good cheer, For who can foretell what time hath in store? We can only surmise, merely this, nothing more. Yes, trials we’ve had and battles, too. For four long years we've waded thru’ Anatomy, Medicine. Surgery—yes— Obstetrics. i. V. and Path.—I guess. Hut we'll buckle down and feel pretty Pip At the thought of the day when they'll give us our dip. But in future years some thirty or so— We’ll remember the time we to college did go. And each past event, tho’ large or quite small, W ill return to our memory as a scene on the wall. We'll remember each victory or failure we’ve made. And conditions received in making a grade; And how we had thought when school we were thru. 80 THE SKULL We’d astonish the world at deeds we would do— For we vainly imagined a College course led To the highest « i honors, as someone has said. Nay, again we’ll indulge in contests and “scraps To win or be beaten, as it may he, perhaps; Vet. these will be free front their anger and rage When the future presents them to Memory’s page. And YOU. maidens fair, in future shall he. When we’ve scattered and gone like the sands of the sea, Won’t you cast a stray thought or even a tear For Medical School and the hoys gathered here? And we will in memory your favor retain— We cannot do more, you’ll be changing your name! Vet, wherever you are. whate'er your lot be. May the Class of '25 be sacred to thee. And we. fellow classmates, the world must face With trials and failures that will quite efface The bloom of youth, the umvrinkled brow. For we’ll not see the freedom we’re seeing just now. Yet I trust when we’re nearing the end of the way We can look on the past and be able to say: Though our station in life be humble and low. And the world may not know where we come or we go, Yet our lives have been strewn with duties and joys, And tho’ old in years—yet in spirit we’re boys. To the Faculty, Associates, and Instructors, too. Whose kind, patient teaching has brought us all thru’— We bid you farewell. Alma Mater so dear. While deep in our hearts, your standards will cheer: So we bid you again a final “Good-bye”— For we’re going forth our future to try On the ocean of life, so broad and so deep. Where some will sail over and others will sleep ’Neath the white caps and waves, at rest in their home. Whither sorrow and trouble no longer can roam. Tho’ our meeting and greeting will soon here he o’er May we greet you again on Eternity’s shore. II. E. Bacon, ’25. 81 ■. ' .) - ' r rm Zr, V V XX LojVV frfduuc.

BACON .................................. President JOSEPH McALOOSE ............................ Vice-President VALENTINE M. HESS ............................... Secretary DOMINIC J. ROSATO ............................... Treasurer HISTORY Upon our advent into this world the first to greet us is the Obstetrician. Thus, it is no more than fitting that Temple’s first undergraduate medical society should have been one whose prime object is to further the knowledge of Obstetrics. The John Chew Applegate Obstetrical Society, founded on October 2, 1907, has done much to better equip the young neophyte in medicine to conduct with greater safety the hazardous passage into this world of the innocent babe. Beginning with a nucleus of but a few men, the Society has shared with Temple its rises and falls, until today its pinnacle of success has been reached in 1925. Its membership has grown from a paltry thirteen to eighty active undergraduate members. Active membership consists of members of the Senior and Junior Classes of the medical school. More than three hundred of Temple's graduates, now in all parts of the world, have enjoyed membership in this Society. All scientific programs are prepared by undergraduate students under the guidance of the Obstetrical Staff of the Hospita. Meetings are held monthly and, after a short business meeting, are thrown open to the public. The Staff eagerly takes up the discussion where the embryo obstetrician leaves off and thus the listeners are benefited not only by the research of the one giving the paper, but the vast practical knowledge of the Faculty affords a valuable adjunct. Membership in the Society is eagerly sought and the Applegate Obstetrical diploma is the prize possession of sons and daughters of Temple from the Orient to the Occident. No history of the Applegate Obstetrical Society would be replete without a word concerning its Honorary President, Professor John Chew Applegate, who holds the Chair of Obstetrics. Much of the success of the hospitals and medical school must be attributed to his untiring efforts. He first became affiliated with the institution in 1903. In all his years of teaching his one thought is to better fit the student for this life work. The success of his students in the world of obstetrics shows that his labors have not been in vain. Always anxious to help, kind, fatherly and loved by all, one who has but to Ik met to be respected. Professor Applegate has an everlasting memorial in the Obstetrical Society. Valentine M. Hess.

Secretary and Treasurer HISTORY IX OCTOBER. 1907. wlu-n Temple Medical School was in its infancy, several students, together with Dr. W illiam Steel, organized the V. Wayne Babcock Surgical Society. The purpose of the organization is to further its members in the knowledge of Surgery. A constitution was drawn up and the following officers elected: WILLIAM A. STEEL. M.D. F.A.C.S.................... President M. A. MANNING ............................... Vice-Presideht JULES PKEVOST .................................... Secretary II. W. BOK! I KINDER ..............................Treasurer At the present time membership to the Society is sought bv ail students, hut it is limited to thirty men. of which fifteen are Seniors, ten Juniors and five Sophomores. They are elected by the present members arid only those of high scholastic standing are eligible for membership. In addition to the undergraduates. all members of the Surgical Staff are honorary members of the Society. Meetings are held twice yearly, the first for the purpose of electing new members and officers, also to discuss plans for the scientific meeting which is held later. At the second meeting a paper is read by some prominent surgeon or medical man and discussed by the members and alumni. The scientific program is closed by a talk from our Honorary President, W Wayne Babcock. Past but not least, is the banquet given to the members hv Professor Babcock, at which time formality is laid aside and all join in the merriment of the occasion. The benefits derived from the Society are many. The most important being the knowledge obtained from the scientific meetings and that gained through association with the Surgical Staff. The Society is now represented by alumni members in almost every state in the Union and in •many foreign countries. 89 John C. Bek ns. THE H.

President JOHN C. BURNS........................................ Vice-President EDWARD I. OSCHELTZ ...................................... Secretary JOHN M. DWYER ............................................ Treasurer FIISTORY OX THURSDAY. November 18. 1916, a number of students of the School of Medicine of Temple University met in the Library of the Professional Building at Eighteenth and Buttonwood Streets. The purpose of the meeting was to organize a Pediatric Society for the furtherance of the study of and research in Pediatrics. Their object was to give those especially interested in this work an opportunity to be brought in closer contact with the little child, and, through various subjects discussed at the meetings, to be of greater value to the community in years to come. This group of students had little difficulty in selecting a name for the Society, because they had the interest and counsel of their Professor in Pediatrics, hence, the Society was named after its honorary president, “The Professor H. Brooker Mills Pediatric Society. The chartered members numbered seventeen and elected the following as their first officers: Henry E. Guth, President; George G. Burgeron, V ice-President: . W ilson Poulson, Treasurer, and T. Maude Rainer. Secretary. Immediately a constitution was drawn up, limiting the membership to fifty, meetings to be held monthly and upon graduation each member to receive a diploma from the Society. These preparations led to the first meeting of the Society which was held on Friday evening. November 8. 1916. in the Library of the Professional Building. At this meeting it was decided that members of the Society report cases that were seen in the dispensary or bring forth the questions that were not clearly understood. This idea has been carried down to the present day, when at each meeting of the Society two members read papers, which are followed by discussions from Faculty and active members. The Society also has certain social functions which it performs annually. At the March meeting Professor Mills arranges to have some prominent member of the profession to address the Society. Again, dating back to February, 1918. an annual event is the joint meeting with the Professor J. C. Applegate Obstetrical Society, of the Temple Medical School. In April of each year the annual banquet of the Society is held, on or near the same date as the birthday of its Honorary President. At this banquet alumni members assemble from distant [joints to honor Professor Mills and relate experiences and benefits to be gained by being a member of the Society. With the rapid increase in the student body, the Society was forced to amend the constitution which limited the membership to fifty, in order to provide for the vast number of applicants. Today the roll call numbers eighty-four, with prospects of reaching the century mark next year. Edward I. Osciiei.tz. Secretary. 91 THE J. GARRETT HICKEY PHYSIOLOGICAL SOCIETY THE -SKULL Hickey Physiological Society HISTORY PROF. J. GARRETT HICKEY. D.D.S., M.D.. Honorary President I AMES H. CUN XIE ....................................... President JOSEPH A. BAGI.IVO .................................. Vice-President FRANK U. DAVIS.............................................Treasurer A. J. CONNELL............................................ Secretary HISTORY ONE Hickey Physiological Society was founded on Monday, October 23. 1922, by Frank S. Forte. The urgent need of this Society was self-evident. With the intense interest stimulated in Physiology by Professor Hickey’s earnest efforts, came the need for an avenue of expression. Accordingly, plans were made for the organization of a society to meet this need. With the acquired tradition of progress characteristic of the Class of '25. the plans were promptly accepted. As a result, the present Society was materialized, having for its officers: PROFESSOR J. GARRETT HICKEY................Honorary President HARRY E. BACON .................................... President I). J. ROSA TO ................................ Vice-President FRANK J. ROSE ..................................... Secretary EDWARD I. OSCHELTZ ................................ Treasurer FRANK S. FORTE. Chairman. FRANK BIELSKI and CHARLES AXTENSOX ..................Program Committee The membership at the time reached a total of thirty-five active members. Active members indeed they were! Thanks to Professor Hickey, for under his wise and timely advice, a tremendous impetus was given to the young Society. Symposiums on physiological problems were presented by the various members. Afterward followed energetic discussions. In these every member took an active part. On several occasions inclement weather would certainly have been an excellent excuse, but the members were all on hand to engage in the well-carried-out discussions. An added feature at every meeting was the appearance of some well-known person to talk on some topic of interest unrelated to physiology. Among those who have appeared at these meetings are Doctors J. C. llearst, John O. Bower and our beloved late Professor D. Gregg Metheny. 'Phe membership grew very rapidly, expanding to the upper classmen and also including the Freshmen. Today the Society can boast of a membership of one hundred and fifty. This puts it well to the fore in respect t size, when compared with other scientific societies in the School of Medicine. As a parting word, it is apropos to extend our most sincere regard to Professor J. Garrett Hickey for the deep interest lie has taken in us ns undergraduates and the members of the Hickey Physiological Society. May this Society long exist to perpetuate the memory of a true man and scientist. F. S.

To recount the adventures of this modern knight is merely to indicate the reactions of a most highly sensitized organism to its adequate stimuli. It is during this episode that the life force with its many years of accumulating energy, seeks to express itself, the chained Prometheus is unbound and frantically sets out to take advantage of its freedom. As of yore, this is the everlasting tale of Youth—that fire in man’s being, that unquenchable thirst for power, knowledge, conquest—the springtime of life which the bards depict so heroically. It is that short period in which the most fanciful theories are formulated of the passions unrestrained, and where phantasy rules the mind. The “W anderlust Spirit is sublimated for more productive fields. It is thus that youth sets out to conquer the world of his dreams. Energy, life breathes in his presence. A yearning, first taking form in a dim vision, becoming more distinct, and another principal begins his career of cramming for a profession in the role of a medical student. Life consists of wildness, the most alive is the wildest and thus the gallant with boisterous noisiness and boastful garrulity and youthful bumptiousness suddenly becomes aware of his surroundings. He is fearful, hesitating, indecisive with a look of wild surmise, appalled by this new world of his adventure. The carefree nature, the immaturity of thought and manner, the impulsive reactions to emotions—all are greatly affected as soon as the impressionistic soul comes in contact with the dissecting room. A great timidity, fear to get near the cadaver and then oblivious of his surroundings, cutting the cold flesh which once was warm. Away from the ill-smelling place, his mental processes are undergoing a stormy reaction. It is as if his very emotions are undergoing a major operation. He thinks of the cold pieces of clay and conjures up pictures of their suffering existence on terra firma. At the solemn hour of one in the land of the subconscious, there occurs the quintessence of many a doleful nightmare in which the most malignant jjossibilities present themselves. Habit is a peculiar phenomenon, and as the executioner becomes accustomed in his trade of brutally separating mortals from their souls, so does the medical student acclimate himself, nay, even is impregnated by his surroundings. And thus the critical period is overcome and the first milestone in the life of the student is passed. Youth begins to reason and there arises the visum of the ultimate in human existence, the age-long, unanswerable questions of life and death are confronted. He is torn away from his world of phantasy and there becomes an intoxication in reality. He begins to see something new in life and begins to realize the real purpose and significance of his noble undertaking. There is less gaiety about his person; his eyes are becoming fixed and there could be seen a firm close of the lower lips as one who has a definite purpose in life and means to follow it. Ill) THE SKULL The vision is Incoming more definite and the adventurer soon finds himself in a mysterious land bewildered by its processes. To him is revealed the secrets of all pathology and its manifestation upon living beings, lie learns of that great relentless monster called Disease, with its innumerable armies of Bacteria which he must conquer to be successful in his great quest. Physiology arouses him to great ecstacy. lie is amazed, almost fearful to know that he has at last found the secret of Life. The human lx-ing impresses him as a complex cellular organism responding both in emotions and physically as a result of biochemical change. He has a feeling of satisfaction, is more confident and believes with an application or his drugs to relieve mortals from all their sufferings. Like a beautiful sunrise Medicine is unfurling itself, the vision is becoming a reality and the land of promise can be seen in the far-off distance. Soon he comes in contact with the practical side of Medicine. One can see him with profound astonishment and gaze of deep emotion as lie wonders at the miraculousness of the Surgeon. He sees a world of suffering. Diagnoses are made. Operations performed, but the Grim Reaper victorious. In the quiet of the night, doubt, desire, sorrow, despair beleaguer his soul. Death, the mere word, chills him. He is restless, his brain is in a turmoil, his soul is yearning like a God in pain.” In the effort to escape these morbid thoughts, lie plunges into the reading of the Masters with a burning passion, the metaphysicians are his silent companions. Music becomes a solid God and a palpitating Heaven in which his soul finds solace. He has a feeling of something new in his nature. Everything brings in a flood of ideas. 11 is entire outlook upon life is changed. The student has been transformed into a philosopher. The period of doubt is duly conquered and the brave knight again sets out for his prize which now seems to be within his reach. Patients are examined. Theory and practice are combined. The morbid physiology is pictured and the rationale and indications for treatment recognized. His enthusiasm is intense and he exults at the prospect of helping the Sufferers. He represses the tendency of putting forth that pedantic affected calmness of one who has reached the height of Partiasus. The muscles of his face become more expressive, lined with thought and purpose. Beneath it all is something educated, reserved. He has a conscious abhorrence of folly, baseness, stupidity and all forms of banalities. He has learned more than multitudinous facts, his ideals are of the highest. He has studied and found himself. His great mission in life is to Help the Needy. The modern Sir Galahad has found the Holiest of Holy Grails. Ai.f.xa dkr Sii.versti in.

It is found 1x3th in males and females. Some persons seem more liable to infection than others. The very blonde and very dark are most prone to the disease. One attack usually predisposes to another. Active Factor: Bacilli Profcssorii in symybiosis with one or more medics. The bacilli are grouped into Type I which produces a very acute and marked manifestation. Type II which causes a more subacute form and Type III which because of its frigidity is atypical and does not have the same svmbit t ic relat i nsh i p. Pathology: Mottled aggregations of medics surrounding the focus of infection. Plural effusion of words of low specific gravity. At first active hyperemia of white and dark corpuscles, rapidly changing to passive congestion or almost complete stasis about the causative factor. One bacillus is sufficient to set up an acute lesion. Laboratory Findings: Usually forty-eight corpuscles are present when B. Professorius per se is found. This number is greatly diminished when one of the pseudo forms is present. The color index is unreliable. Attention is highly concentrated. An exudate with high sugar content gives a compliment fixation test of A plus. 112 THE SKULL Symptoms: Period of Incubation: Varies. The patient is usually inoculated during the Freshman year, but the disease does not manifest itself until the resistance has been lowered as a result of threatened premature separation from the others. Tiie Attack : First Trimester: Medic cum creta together with thorough purging of black board are first noticed. It is followed by the risoric facies and characteristic cephalic tic during lectures. Second Trimester: Euphoria now becomes prominent, accompanied by palpitation verging on cardiac failure. The cephalic anterior posterior movement increases in extent and frequency being especially noticeable in the post lecture period and at the societies. Disfunction of text l ooks and notes with compensatory hvperfunction of the lingula. Third Trimester: The risoric facies now l ecomes truly hypocritic. A peculiar sense of elation develops while helping on with the overcoats. There is a constipation of ideas and a diarrhea of words. The crisis is reached about the middle of May. Physical Signs: Inspection: Flattening of the heads and widening of oral fissures. Palpation: Increased vocal fremitus. Percussion: Dullness at quizzes. Marked discussion—splash. Auscultation: Noisy, vociferous wise cracking rales. Soap and towel,” A little ice water,” Two in one,” “Shine,” Polish. Heard posteriorly. Complication: Perforation of shine by l’.acilli I'rofessorii. Differential Diagnosis: 1. Interest vera. This is very rare and is differentiated only by a close study of the nocturnal habits of the patient. 2. Simple Cerebral Stenosis: No euphoria. More marked dullness. 3. Polyverbosis. Characterized by loquaciousness in the absence of B. Pro-fessorii. Prognosis: Guardedly favorable. The more guarded, the more favorable. Sequella : Diploma! Treatment: Treat the cause expectantly. M.

Thou slialt not prefer any other college but this one, thou shalt not form unto thyself any vain ideas of thy greatness, thy knowledge or thy wisdom; for a jealous spirit watches over thee, which will visit the iniquities of thy egotism upon thee, even to the second and third years oi thine attendance. 2. Thou shalt not look upon the instruction of a Prof, as vain, for the Prof, will not mark the student as perfect who holdeth his instruction as vain. 3. Remember all the holidays and keep them strictly. 4. In the daytime shalt thou attend classes and do all thy work, but the evening is sacred to parties and the ladies; thou nor thy roommate, though through the day contemplating surgery and the abdomen and all that in there is, wearies thee, wherefore in the evening, put on thy Tux and sally forth under the “Tree of Roses.” 5. Write long letters to thy father and thy mother, that thou tnayest enjoy the sweetmeats and checks which they will send unto thee. 6. Thou shalt not make a noise in Babbie’s Clinic. 7. Thou shalt not spit on the floor in the Rev. Astley’s classroom. 8. Thou must be proficient in the art of Shoe Shining in order that thou mayest graduate. 9.

McCOXAGHY ••WHY CUTS ARE POPULAR THE SKULL To the Ladies of Our Class My attention was suddenly arrested last September a year, by the admission into our class of four maidens, whom I at first took for Fairy Goddesses, but whose identity was later revealed as sisters of our class—Misses Gibbons, Hayes, North and Williams. I feel that I can voice the sentiments of each and every fellow of the class in that it has l een a privilege and pleasure as well as benefit to have them among us. I hear the truth of the poets words: “They talk about a woman’s sphere, As tho’ it had a limit; There’s not a place in heaven or earth There’s not a task to mankind given. There’s not a blessing or a woe, There’s not a whisper “Yes” or No.” There’s not a life or death or birth. That has a feather’s weight or worth, Without a Woman in it.” II. B. 117 SUMMER MEMORIES OF AM INTERNE' THE SKULL Doctor Wayne The Doctor of the olden days Had kindly words and pleasant ways; And though his pills were on the hum And sent folks off to Kingdom Come, And though he liked to swell the hosts Of skeletons and sheeted ghosts, It never was his foolish plan To use a saw on every man. Unlike the modern maniacs Who carve their patients with an axe, He dealt out calomel and nux, And soaked me for a “pair of bucks”; And if he killed us—good old soul— He left us to be planted whole. W hen I am sickly and unstrung. You ask me to unfurl my tongue; You feel my pulse and punch my hack And see if my “stones are quite intact; And then you shed vour vest and coat And jam an oil lamp down my throat, And say, “Great Ceasar, what a heart! I'll have to take you all apart!” And on your table T am laid While you go out to hunt a spade, To dig around among my works And find the damn old germ that lurks Around the angles of my frame — The way vou carve me is a shame. 119 THE SKULL When winter comes with frost and snow, I get a chilblain on my toe; And when tor liniment I l eg, You want to amputate my leg; And when my throat gets sore and raw; You want to cure it with a saw; To cure my baldness, you. I ween, Would run me through a guillotine. A leg of mine is now at rest, mong the doctors of the West; An Eastern doctor has in brine About eight inches of my spine: The jaw that once adorned my mouth Is kept in pickle in the South. 1 do not love you, Doctor Wayne; You carve too fluently and vain. I fear you and your edged tools: I’ll send to correspondence schools Iror absent treatment when I’m ill. Or hit the good old-fashioned pill. The Biggest Pest.....................

Brooker Mills (With apologies to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow) Dickens had some characters Who are of great renown, But let me tell of one Who lives right in our town. He doctors up the babies Nearly all the day, But finds a single hour To give advice away. He'll say, “if you dilute one-third You’re making one in three. It matters not to you, my friend. And it makes no dif to me. A one to five solution Isn’t one to five at all, Because altho' it may seem large. It really would be small. If a baby has marasmus And can’t digest the fat, Then don't believe the infant, He’s talking thru’ his hat.” Roll call for ten minutes Then, “Melman give me a name.” He finds out what we all don’t know His disposition begins to change. TT. E. Bacon. 123 AFTER EXAMS. THE SKULL “SPICY” A Tragedy in One Act and One Scene The Characters: Dr. AL—A gentleman of some sixty years, his health and general appearance belying his age. Rotund, but not stout, an austere and aggressive air pervades his whole being, but beneath it a friendly and paternal spirit. His round, stem face, bright and shiny, is ever lit up by a whimsical smile. The Class of 1925: Students and others. Wisecrackcrs, comedians, spoofers, bluffers, grinds, prodigies, bombasts, pests and philosophers. Italians, Jews, Irishmen, Yanks against a background of color. ACT I Scene I A large square room, half submerged, is lined with chairs in an orderly fashion. The floor is clean as yet, for it is only 8.30 A. M. and Bresmans pipe has not as yet been mustered into sen-ice, nor has Saltus and his ilk disposed of their lunches. Young men are seen entering in groups of twos and threes. 'Their vocation ie evidenced by the weighty notebooks, medical magazines and here and there by the tubing of a stethoscope seen protruding from bulging pockets. A general hub-bub fills the room. To one side are seen five young men arguing vociferously each trying to ontshout the other, interrupted nozv and then by the boisterous laugh of triumph that belongs to Basnctt. The other voices are distinctly those of Brown, Chavin, Archer and Meshberg. IValken-berg has cornered another group and is relating his conquests in various fields and in general dispensing pearls of wisdom gathered in the course of an extensive academic career (B. S. Syracuse) and much reading. Bop Cawley is now asking his daily questions: “Is there going to he an exam? while Bergdoll is counting his pulse. The Four Horsemen arc heard laughing at one of Dwyer's delicious jokes while Dwyer himself seems to sense the approaching storm. Bacon is seen opening his voluminous daily mail while McFlwee is brooding in his chair. Little Rose announces the arrival of Dr. M.. a hush falls over the assemblage and everybody is scattering to his seal with but one thought in mind— Is it to be a lecture or a quiz I)r. M. (calls the roll and credits the cuts—it’s the only credit he gives)— Well, let's find out how much you know about lobar pneumonia this morning. Mr. Goodman, tell us what you know about the use of whiskey in lobar pneumonia. 125 THE SKULL Mr. Goodman—Alcohol is a stimulant and spares carbohydrates (prolonged silence). Dr. M.—Go on, give more. (Silence)—Don’t you prompt him, Presman, you’ll get a vacuum in your brain if you tell too much. Dr. M.—What is science, Goodman? Mr. Goodman—Science is systematized knowledge. Dr. M.—You have a little knowledge, but it isn’t systematized. Get acquainted with the subject. Graham (who is sitting uneasily in his chair)—What's the matter, have you got chorea or cooties? What side of the heart controls the pulmonary valve ? Mr. Graham—The right side. Dr. M.—Where would you listen for it? Mr. Graham—The right side. Dr. M.—Wrong, as usual. Guess again. Mr. Graham—The left side. Dr. M.—Good guess, Graham, how'd you do it? (At this point Bencher comes in. fifteen minutes late.) Dr. M.—And who is this cow’s tail coming in now? You are late every hour after the hour. Now then, Bencker, how much in your infinite wisdom would you give of the tincture digitalis in pneumonia? Mr. Bencker (slowly reacting front the shock)—I would give ten minims. Dr. M.—That’s pretty good for you. Now, Herman, what do you know about digitalis in pneumonia? Mr. Herman—(Adds nothing to what has already been said). Dr. M.—You are also a “me toer.” Have you no ideas of your own? You are worse than Bencker and the Lord knows he is bad enough. Well, Presman, you like to hear yourself talk, here is your chance. Tell me what you don’t know about the physiologic action of atropine. Mr. Pressman—Atropine is a respiratory stimulant and is valuable in cases of pulmonary edema. Dr. M.—What is collateral edema. Mr. Presman? Mr. Presman (stares blankly as if he has never heard of it and contributes an ominous silence). Dr. M.— Put that down in your l ook of ignorance and do a little studying when you get home tonight. We will now hear from Mr. McElwee. What’s the color of the skin in syncopy, McElwee? Mr. McElwee—Pale. 126 THE SKULL Dr. M.—What’s the color of the hair? Mr. McElwee (grows pale himself and is entirely bewildered)—Why, now just wait a minute (the whole class bursts out in laughter). Dr. M.—Well, how much quinine would you give in pneumonia? Mr. McElwee—Oh. about ten grains. Dr. M.—So delightfully definite, don't you know. 'Oh, about.” Anything’ll do. Meshberg, what’s the dose of Donovan’s Solution? Mr. Meshberg (confidently)—A dram. Dr. M.—The good Lord is going to be good to your patients and some of them will survive your treatment. Better try that dose on yourself first and see how you like it. Air. Antenson, what are the alkaloids of digitalis? Mr. Antenson—(Profound silence). Dr. M.—Somebody (silence). Anybody (more silence, sifter waiting for the answer that will not come and with a note of finality) Nobody. Archer, how would you reduce fever in lobar pneumonia? Mr. Archer (gives a long dissertation in the most prolific language, but says little). Dr. M.—You seem to be afflicted with a diarrhea of words and a constipation of ideas; that’ll do for you. Archer. (Spots Hess comfortably reposed in the rocking chair beside Miss Williams)—Sit up now. Hess: what you need is some calcium salts to stiffen your spinal column, and not a rocking chair. What poison accumulates in the muscles in myalgia? Mr. Hess (silence). Dr. M.—Everybody. The Class—Sarcolectic acid. Dr. M. (sees Proton qrinninq from ear to ear and not paxinq attention)— What did they say? Mr. Brown—Soluble lactic acid. Dr. M.—Wipe that grin away and pay attention. There are a few things you have to learn before graduating. How would you reduce fever in pneumonia, Scott ? Mr. Scott (starts a philosophic discussion on fever and gets away from the point). Dr. M.—What is the shortest distance between two points. Scott? Mr. Scott—A straight line. Dr. M.—Well, travel on it; it holds good in morals as well as geometry. (Realizes it is getting near the end of the hour.) Get busy with your l� ooks and get to know the drugs. A lot of you men will make people conic to us wanting to know why we allowed you to be pushed on an innocent public. (Everybody heaves a sigh of relief as Dr. M. exits.) Pints. By Jack Rosen. Are Presmax. 127 THE SKULL Down Where the Vest Begins Dedicated to Dexzil Kixc (With apologies to the author of “Out Where the West Begins”) Down where the bell clasps a little stronger, Down where the pants should be a little longer, That's where the .vest begins. Down where you wish you were a little slighter, Where the shirt that shows is a little whiter. Where each day the buttons grow a little tighter, That’s where the vest begins. Down where the pains are in the making, And each heavy meal will soon start aching. That’s where the vest begins. Where each added pound is the cause of sighing. When you know in your heart that the scales aren't lying, And you have to guess when your shoes need tying, That’s where the vest begins! ! ! —Anonymous. 128 THE SKULL Fritz Kreitzler and Aenos Paderiski will render the following selections by their respective composers Sleep, Sleep, Sleep,” by Rosato.

If you have grasped but an idea of the anesthetic from Steel And with it the dexterity and alacrity of the kindly Hammond, If you have absorbed the precepts of scientific research from the eminent Robertson And gained an adequate knowledge of asepsis from the scholarly Astlev, If you have profited by the profound studies of the great Strickler And will even a little imitate the genial and complacent attitude of the earnest Hudson. If you take away with you some knowledge of the eye from the honored Peter And if you acquire the humor, wit. agility and confidence of the distinguished Thomas.

Harry E. Bacon. DIPLOMA Oh. little roll of parchment fair. I've worked hard for thee, both hard and long ; I've sweated years, or more or less— I greet thee with a joyful song. I've parsed Greek verbs and adjectives; I've copied themes and faked reports: I’ve listened to the dreary Profs And gone out strong for all the sports. I've seen the Dean, and been on pro; I’ve tried four years to get a drag; I’ve had a girl at ev'rv prom— Including those I went to stag. And now diploma, they don’t concede me Wit enough to even read thee. 151 THE SKULL H. Bacon. To the Ion Twins, Cattie and Annie V i FFi ■jsp'-n — § J J: u There were two luttlo ions with powers most occult Lot’s wife they descended for their mother was a salt. 2. She met death in solution, but first she charged them well To cleave to their electrons no matter what befell. 3. ’Twould help them to withstand it if they should ever boil, Of if they should grow colder from ice they would recoil. 4. And then against a membrane the force they could exert Would equal feats of Sampson or keep Hercules alert. 5. So Cattie in her boldness, with Annie close behind. Wandered in the test tul e with others of their kind. 6. Then came a shock so sudden it swept them off their feet Ere they could help each other or their mother's charge repeat. 7. So Annie hurried forward, she had such a fright, But Cattie was quite positive the other way was right. 8. And, sure enough, our Cattie a firm foundation laid. For she became a solid—and as sodium she staid. 9. And now our twins were parted, for thus it came to pass That Annie turned to chlorine and soon went up in gas. 10. So here is to the Ion twins. Oh! the trouble that they caused. For ages we have puzzled over what could be their laws. II.
