M.D., F.A.C.P. (51 Greetings From ‘Doctor Robertson There are men and classes of men that stand above the common herd: the soldier, the sailor, and the shepherd not infrequently; the artist rarely; rarelier still, the clergyman; the physician almost as a rule. He is the flower (such as it is) of our ciwliiation; and when that stage of man is done unth, and only to be marvelled at in history, he will be thought to hove shored as little as any in the defects of the period, and most notably exhibited the virtues of the race. Generosity he has, such as is possible to those who practise an art, never to those who drive a trade; discretion, tested by a hundred secrets; tact, tried in a thousand embarrassments, and what are more important. Heraclean cheerfulness and courage. So that he brings air and cheer into the sic{ room, and often enough, though not so often as he wishes, brings healing. Robert Louis Stevenson. No more beautiful tribute to the doctor has ever been written. No school could fail which would have as its ideal, the development of doctors deserving of such a sentiment. Though we may strive to interest the student in the biophysical sciences, to inculcate in him a desire for knowledge of the cognate sciences, we should never overlook the humanitarian nature of the work of the great majority of doctors. Despite the trend in some directions today, it cannot be denied that the real function of the medical school is to train men to apply their special knowledge to the prevention and alleviation of suffering. Surely, no greater privilege exists in any other calling. The fact that a man elects to study medicine does not necessarily make him a gentle-man or a scholar. To some a smug satisfaction suffices in the possession of the degree, theirs having been the path of least resistance. I am reminded of the student who was criticised for his standing at the tail end of the class, “Oh! that’s all right he said, “they teach the same things at both ends. Totally different are those whose scholarship makes it impossible for them to descend to the level of the rank and file. A certain aloofness often characterizes such men in their undergraduate period, and makes it impossible for them to become successful practising physicians at a later period. A group of medical students, like any other group of men and women, varies in its make-up. All that a medical school can do is to cultivate an ideal, be it of the ultra-scientific or more immediately practical type, and strive to teach by precept and example, so that its students may be truthful and honorable men, worthy of the trust and confidence of those whose lives and happiness will be entrusted to them. The late Theodore Roosevelt said, “What counts in a man or in a nation is not what that man or the nation can do, but what he or it actually does. Scholarship that consists in mere learning, but finds no expression in production, just as ability to shoot well at clay pigeons, may be of interest and value to him, but it ranks no higher unless it finds expression in achievement. From the standpoint of the nation, and from the broader standpoint of mankind, scholarship is of worth chiefly when it is productive, when the scholar not merely receives or acquires, but gives. If your Alma Mater has succeeded in first imparting an ideal and second, in inculcating in you a desire for learning, which shall find its highest expression of achievement in service for others, it has not failed in its mission.

BEURY [81 President Peury’s ‘Message JT IS a pleasure and a privilege to wish the members of the Class of 1927 Godspeed upon their forthcoming entrance into the professional world. The record of the School of Medicine and the calibre of its students are a matter of pride to the administrative officers of Temple University. So uniformly devoted and serious have been your work and application during your years of study at the School of Medicine, that we entertain no doubt as to the success and standing you will achieve in your chosen profession. Needless to say, that profession is one of the utmost importance to the welfare of humanity, and we are convinced that you are thoroughly imbued with the responsibility which henceforth will be yours. We know that you will discharge your professional obligations with that sense of unselfish devotion to your suffering fellow men and with that close regard for the ethical principles of your profession which the members of our splendid Faculty, by precept and example, have taught you to feel and to observe. Thus you will be highly valuable members of whatever community you may choose in which to practice. In the vital work which you are about to undertike in the world, you will be heartened and encouraged by the realization that your Alma Mater stands back of you. And with the wonderful plans for the expansion and further development of the University, in which the School of Medicine figures so conspicuously, that support, principally in the form of added prestige, will grow as you advance in your professional career. In return for this, and for the opportunity the University has offered you, all Temple asks is that you do not forget her. Remember, we beg of you, what Temple has meant to your life and your career, and be ready to stand by her, as she is to stand by you, whenever she may need your aid and cooperation. Sincerely, Chas. S. Beury. 19} JOHN CHEW APPLEGATE. M.D.. F A C S 3Jn jHemortam JOHN CHEW APPLEGATE, M.D., F.A.C.S. Professor of Obstetrics ONCE again has the Grim Reaper swung his scythe, and taken from us one who was so com plete a man, that his absence leaves us with a sense of real, of personal loss, an emptiness which only the passing years can fill. It was once said of him, “He was a perfect gentleman. No truer sentiment, no more fitting express on of his character was ever voiced. Each year saw him more gentle, more sympathetic, always ready with helping hand and cheering smile, to smooth the path before us and iron out the difficulties confronting us. As a teacher he exemplified that spirit of sacrifice and unselfishness, with regard to his personal acquisition, which has characterized all the great teachers of history, such as Socrates and Aristotle. He reached the very pinnacle of his profession and his career has been as a beacon to those who follow after. And yet, when all is said, he was still greater as a friend, especially in those trying moments when friendship counted most. It may well be 6aid, that he laid down his 'ife for his friends, with his unflagging pursuit of the tiring routine of lectures and clinics as an added burden to his already-crowded day. While we miss his presence in the flesh, still are we influenced by his precept and example, and we feel that kindly Spirit still watching o‘cr us and guiding us, as we progress on our journey through life. ‘We have lost him; he is gone. We lyxow him now. all narrow jealousies Are silent; and we see him as he moved. How modes . Ipndly, all'occomphsh'd, wise. With what sublime repression of himself. And in what limits, and how tenderly; Not suuying to this faction or to that; Not malting his high place the lawless perch Of wing'd ambitions, nor a i antage-ground For pleasure; but through all this tract of years Wearing the white flower of a blameless life. —Tennyson. H. A. K. M. (Hi PROPOSED NEW MEDICAL SCHOOL MEDICAL BUILDING EIGHTEENTH AND BUTTONWOOD STREETS 113 1 T. U. M. S. THE SKULL 19 2 7 T3he Greatheart tMaternity Hospital of the Toemple University URING the past few years the neighborhood surrounding the Garretson Hospital has changed from a residential section to a manufacturing district. Doctor Conwell noted this change and realized that if the Hospital was to con-tinue in its development, it would have to be transferred to another location. This he intended to do, but upon making a survey of the neighborhood and of the needs of the Medical Department, he arrived at the conclu-sion that a large, well-equipped maternity hospital was more needed in the community and by the college than another general hospital. To accomplish this purpose, he organized the Greatheart Society and had it incorporated under the laws of the State of Pennsylvania. It was decided to purchase the properties located at 1S10 and 1812 Spring Garden Street for the new undertaking. Alter extensive alterations, the Greatheart Maternity Hospital of Temple University was dedicated by Doctor Con-well cn April 27. 1923. It consisted of thirty beds, of which five are in private rooms and the rest in semi-private and public wards. By this arrangement the institution is enabled to care for those who are without funds as well as those patients who can afford to pay the Hospital for its services. At one o'clock each day a free dispensary hour is maintained. Here the patients are registered for admission to the Hospital or to have a senior medical student assigned to their case to care for them in their homes. Prenatal care is given to the expec- tant mother. She is also urged to return for a post-natal examination and to have her baby examined to see if it is developing as a normal child should. Nurses are also assigned from this dispensary to visit and care for the patients in their homes. The Staff is made up of men of great experience in the obstetrical field, the Hospital being under the care of Doctors Arnold, Barnes and Alesbury. They give much of their time to this work for which they receive no compensation whatsoever. The Greatheart Maternity Hospital has been an important factor in the development of the Obstetrical Department of Temple University School of Medicine. Two senior students live in the Hospital and deliver all normal cases under the direct supervision of one of the Hospital Chiefs. By so doing the Hospital serves a very useful purpose in giving these young men that practical experience which will be so valuable to them during all their professional lives. The Hospital is recognized by the American College of Surgeons, which means that the Hospital measures up in every way to the standards of that organization. It is open to the people of all races and all creeds; its principal purpose is to be of service to those of little or no means. With these ideals and the great need for the Hospital, we feel sure that the Hospital will continue to have a very healthy growth and it will develop into one of the largest and best maternity hospitals in this country. {Hi ORTHOPEDICS DISPENSARY OTO RHINOLARYNGOLOGY DISPENSARY H5] LABORATORY OF PHYSIOLOGICAL CHEMISTRY 116} MORBID ANATOMY LABORATORY LABORATORY OF HISTOLOGY AND EMBRYOLOGY f 17] LABORATORY OF PATHOLOGY LABORATORY OF PHARMACY {18} T.

SKULL 19 2 7 THE T5he School of JXtedicine of Toemple University THE School of Medicine of Temple University, like all the other departments of this institution, was not opened until a demand was made by a representative number of ambitious young men and women for an evening course. President Conwell had frequently been appealed to by students of other departments for a course, so arranged, that they could earn a living and college expenses and at the same time pursue a course in medicine. In the spring of 1901 the Board of Trustees decided to open an evening medical school. A faculty and department was organized, and a circular arranged, announcing that a course consisting of five years’ evening instruction would be given by Temple College. The first faculty consisted of twenty professors, lecturers, demon-strators and instructors. The curriculum was so arranged that the same number of hours would be devoted to it as in the day schools. There were about thirty students matriculated for the college session of 1901-2. It was found that the students who applied for evening instruction in medicine, were willing to make any persona! sacrifice to acquire a medical education. They, therefore, applied themselves most diligently to the work. The evening school was discontinued on account of legislation in the various states by which graduates of an evening school were prevented from appearing before the respective state boards for licensure. The high standard attained by the graduates of this department before the various state boards of medical examiners has been preeminently 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 Uni-sity, by 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 School of Medicine was, in 1907, transferred to the Philadelphia Dental College buildings, Eighteenth and Buttonwood Streets. This at once gave the school commodious quarters. The School of Medicine of Temple University, in 1901, had 31 matriculates; for the year 1926-1927 it enrolled 212 students. In the year 1907 the School established a four years' day course of eight and a half months each. The College 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, three Clinical Professors, sixteen Associate Professors, fifteen Associates, seventeen Lecturers, ten Demonstrators, twenty-three Instructors, twenty-nine Clinical Assistants. The Temple University has three hospitals which arc used for clinical instruction. The greater portion or he teaching is done at the Samaritan Hospital; the Greatheart 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 Phipp Institute. A new wing to the Samaritan Hospital has been completed and alterations made to the old wing, so that the new Samaritan Hospital has three hundred beds; it has two lecture rooms, a mortuary with a seating capacity of thirty; numerous models for teaching purposes, a clinical amphitheatre, and a library in charge of a full-time librarian. Dr. John C. Applegate, who had been Professor of Obstetrics from 1903 to 1926, died on December 20, 1926. Dr. Jesse O. Arnold, Clinical Professor of Obstetrics, was advanced by the Board of Trustees to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Doctor Applegate. President Beury has launched a Twenty Million Dollar Campaign for the University, to be known as The Russell H. Conwell Foundation for Temple University. This Foundation will consecrate itself to the raising of the fund over a period of fifteen years. Of this amount two million dollars will be used for the erection of buildings for housing the School of Medicine and two million dollars will be set aside as an endowment fund for the medical school. The Trustees have announced the purchase of the lot at the northwest corner of Broad and Ontario Streets, upon which will be erected the School of Medicine. The first City Drive for the Foundation, was instituted February, 1927, at the conclusion of which it was announced that $1,628,634.85 had been subscribed. Frank C. Hammond, Dean. {21 ] DR.

THE SKULL 19 2 7 EDITORIAL JT IS related in history how Aeneas, the leader of the vanquished Trojans, gathered his friends together on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea, and charged them to build great vessels and provision them well, and set sail from their homeland, which had been devastated by the Greek hordes. Great timbers were felled and brought to the seaside, where they were hewn into timbers suitable for shipbuilding. The fleet, having been built, was pro visioned, and the journey was begun. Heavy seas were encountered and hidden reefs were struck, but as events proved, the fleet weathered all these pitfalls successfully. Tradition has it that this was the band of wanderers that founded the city of Rome. We, the Class of 1927, might very well use the words of Aeneas and exclaim: “We are uncertain whither destiny may bear us, where it is granted that we may settle.” During the past four years we have been building great fleets, that might combat disease, but greater than these we have been building Ships of Character, that might overcome obstacles that lie in our paths as we go through life. We are about to begin our battle with the storms of trial and with the hidden reefs of temptation. Aeneas did not depend entirely upcn his stout ships to carry him to his ultimate destination, no, he depended upon the eternal vigilance of his trusty crews. So it is with us, moulded by the precepts and the example set us by our esteemed professors, strengthened by the knowledge received from them and emboldened by their faith in us, we have in our Ships of Character, much that will withstand rough usage. If we permit ourselves to drift, trusting to the strength and vitality of these, our ships, we shall soon find ourselves drifting into dangerous waters, and sooner or later, find ourselves smashed upon some hidden rock or reef. We must use that intellectual power granted to us, and aided by the light of knowledge, we must hold firmly to our purpose, which, if we are true to ourselves, will be a beacon, whereby in all darkness of sorrow and disease, we may steadily direct our course and ultimately receive the reward of esteem in our fellow'people's eyes. Let us, then, with firm purpose in mind set sail from these walls of our dear Alma Mater, trusting to the valiant spirit of our own selves, and attempt to reach those shores, that is expected of every true graduate of Temple University Medical School.

Men of rather diverse types and various talents, but all with the same ambition of entering the noble profession of Medicine. A short distance from this scene trucks were unloading stones, cement, steel and other building materials. By the skill of the men who made the plans and those who directed the work, the raw materials began to take form. First the firm foundation set squarely on rock bottom. Upon this the superstructure of strong unyielding steel. Surrounding this are the various embellishments making the completed beautiful structure. How close the analogy! The group of young men differing in their individual type, yet of the material with which a great “structure can be built. By the skillful instruction of the Medical Faculty, directing their efforts, they began laying the foundation of their knowledge of Anatomy, Bacteriology, Physiology, Pathology and Chemistry. Upon this they placed their “steel superstructure of Medicine, Surgery and the specialties. Today essentially the same group of men—except the few who have fallen by the wayside, as the imperfect building material which the master builder discards,—men who under perfect guidance have built the foundation and begun the superstructure— the knowledge of the Science of Medicine, and who now hope, under the same faithful guidance, to continue building higher and then to surround this staunch structure with the embellishment of experience and perfect it by acquiring the Art of Medicine.

Treasurer Nathan Smolens ................................................................................ Secretary JT WAS with great temerity that we ventured back to the well-known campus, after the summer holiday, not knowing whom we would see to greet as classmates or to offer our sympathy for not having successfully passed the Freshman year. It was with great joy that we learned that nearly all the class had covered themselves with honors and were now entitled to bear the name Sophomore. We recall with much vim our days of struggling in the first year, and contrast it with our present year and find that, while Freshman days were interesting they are in no way comparable to the present year. Our experiences in the Physiological Laboratory and in the Chemical Laboratory are far beyond our expectations. The work is intensely interesting, and we now can start to apply the great numbers of truths we learned last year. Truly, the study of medicine becomes more absorbing as the years progress. As we found in the first year, time waits for no man; this year is rapidly drawing to a close and our final examinations are crowding upon us, our books are being thumbed carefully and our experiments are being minutely gone over, so that on our great day of judgment when we march to the amphitheater and take separate seats we will know just what is expected of us. We look back over the year and recall the first social event of the year -the dance held in honor of the Freshmen, and how the evening proved a relaxation from the grind of the books; the Christmas holidays when we spent many happy hours at home among our dearest of friends and relatives; the dance that was the reciprocation by the Freshmen; the Easter vacation and ail the other little interruptions to our daily poring over the books. The next year is almost upon us and the age-old question comes up, Will we be Juniors, or will we be repeating the year? Thts is the great disturbing factor at the present time, and on this account it is not hard to explain why some of the fellows are caught day-dreaming and staring out the windows, when the professor is trying to propound some great truth. For the benefit of all we fervently hope that these little lapses of memory and seeming lack of attention will be overlooked by the faculty when the time comes for the grading of the final papers. We give our word that the process is one brought on by worry and is not intentional. The inspiration and determination that marked our first year have not diminished a bit, but on the other hand, have been greatly increased, and without doubt will be increased in the years that are to come, no matter what the outcome of the present year, though we expect it to be beneficial to all concerned. This determination is the stuff that real doctors are made of and we hope we will have ample occasion to show it, so that in the dim future, posterity can point a proud finger at the member of the Class of '29 and say There are the types of doctors that Temple University is turning out year by year.” In conclusion we want to thank our professors for the patience they have shown to the class and the many favors they have bestowed upon us and for the kindness they extended to us on all occasions, and to ask forgiveness for any anxiety we may have caused them during our stay in the Sophomore Class. 1811 T.

Every one eager to be initiated into the mysteries of th;t wonderful profession, and every one eager to do his bit in the struggle that lay before The first year of the lone requirement is nearing a close, the same men are present but they are not the rollicking, happy crowd that stood before the portals some months ago They are the same ones, but they are fatigued, tired and rather study-worn from the exertion of the year. Every man has done and will continue to do his utmost in the succeeding years. The year has passed quickly, no one seems to know just what has become of it. and with it many pages of text-books have been covered. We hope we know a part of what has been passed over. Many times when we look at the pile of books, we wonder if we will ever know all they contain. Much midnight oil has been expended and many hours that could have been spent in refreshing sleep have been put in on those massive legacies of the great master . The time has been rather short, but we hope that in the space that has been allotteJ to us, we have impressed the faculty with our willingness and determination; how much we have impressed them remains to be seen We have been told that many discoveries have yet to be made in the field of medicine, and fervently hope they arc not made while we are in school, so there will be worlds for us to conquer, and not have to say. using the words of Alexander the Great, If our masters keep on there will be nothing left for us to conquer. We know that a few have their eye on the cause of cancer, and others are thinking about the vitamines, and still others about that much-sought after Elixir of Life. During the year a rather pleasant surprise came to us in the form of invitations to a dance given by the Sophomores in our honor. This is one of the things that made many of the boys square their shoulders and throw out their cheats invited to a dance by the Sophomores, well, well -we are getting to be somebody after all. We tore ourselves away from our books for the evening and the effort at getting away from the books was well rewarded, the evening was a gala one and all enjoyed themselves to the utmost. Of course, after such a good time, we reciprocated sometime later. There have been great moments in little lives, during the year—the time we were first addressed as doctor by a member of the faculty, and the first incisions into our cadavers, when we got our boxes of bones and actually handled what was once a human being. Wc doubt if anyone ever felt so important, but as the end draws near, the novelty starts to wear off and the things that we were once thnllcJ at are now becoming an everyday occurrence. Inspired wc may have been at the beginning, but at the close that inspiration is intensified a hundred-fold, and besides inspiration wc have acquired a loyalty to and a love for that great Art of giving and preserving life. It is and always will be a difficult study and sttll more difficult life after all the studying is over, but we have recognized these facts, and they only help to further the growth of our heart's desire. We are proud that we hive undertaken the study of medicine and hope that in some future day we tray be able to render to our University some service that brands all the graduates of Temple University Medical School. 185 1 T.

The lack of an undergraduate medical society was recognized. Such a society as would have for its object not merely the preparation of papers on divers sub-jects, but also intensive collateral reading with definite objectives in view, such as individual research work, was thought to be an intensely valuable adjunct to any student’s curricular work. In addition, such a society should have as its adviser and counsellor a man eminently capable and fitted to direct the efforts of the students. Our respected and beloved Professor of Medicine, Dr. Egbert Robertson, is exactly such a man. He represents the ideal type of physician, able, scholarly, constantly striving toward perfection. Owing to his kind consider-ation and approval, we now have such a society, and we have been further honored by his consenting to act as our preceptor and our Honorary President. The Society consists of thirty members, composed of twenty seniors and ten juniors. Membership is automatically conferred upon the ten men with the highest averages in their class at the end of the Sophomore Year, and ten men with the highest averages in their class at the end of their Junior Year, exclusive of the ten men who will already be members of the Society. Meetings are held once a month, at which time members read papers and present the results of their research work. Our first meeting was held Thursday, April 7, 1927. The officers were elected, plans made for the purchase of diplomas and a charter, and standing committees appointed. We hope we have created the nucleus for an undergraduate organization, in which membership in the years to come shall be the goal and ambition of every student, and which will increasingly reflect credit and add prestige to the name of Temple University's School of Medicine.

On December 20, 1926, Professor J. C. Applegate went to claim the reward which his years of unstinted service had merited for him. His passage is mourned by all who knew him. The society is resolved to carry cn the name and as closely as possible, the principles and policies which were so dear to the founder. The society this year adopted a key to be its official insignia. The keys presented to the Senior members this year will be distinguished by a black background; all future keys will be made without this distinguishing feature. Professor Jesse O. Arnold was selected to fill the faculty position left open by Professor Applegate s death. The Obstetrical Society is pleased to welcome Professor Arnold as its new Honorary President, and feel certain that he will assist the members in the years to come, to make the society a continued source of obstetrical knowledge and a useful adjunct to the work in the classroom end clinics.

Brooltcr Mills Pediatric Society was organ ized November 18, 1916. when a number of the students of the School of Medicine of Temple University met in the Library of the Professional Schools at Eighteenth and Buttonwood Streets. This group came together to form an organization for the further study of Pediatr cs and for some outside research work in the subject, the object of the society being to bring into close contact the subjects heard tn the class room with the clinical material furnished by the dis pensaries. No difficulty was experienced in selecting a name for the newly formed society, it being named after the present Honorary President The charter members numbered seventeen and selected for their first officers: Henry E. Guth, President; George C. Bergeron, Vice-President; W, Wilson Poulson, Treasurer; and T. Maude Rainer, Secretary. A constitution was drawn up, limiting the membership to fifty, meetings to be held once a month and certain members to read papers at each meeting and have them discussed by the members of the society and the members of the faculty. The original constitution still governs the society with the exception that the membership has been extended to include the entire senior class and twenty members from the junior class. An outstanding feature of the society was and still is, the presentation to each member of the society upon graduation, a diploma from the society The first meeting of the society was held Friday evening, November 8. 1916, and every month since, during the school year, a meeting has been held. It is at these meetings that the original idea of having papers and discussion is carried out. Each month two mem- bers of the society present papers, and these papers bring forth problems that are met every day in the office of the young as well as the old physician. Vigorous discussion always characterizes the meetings. The society is not purely a scientific one. for, it has certain social functions which it performs annually. The March meeting is always addressed by 6ome prominent member of the profession, and for the last few years this yearly address has been delivered by Doctor William Wadsworth, Physician to the Coroner of Philadelphia. A notable feature of the social side of the society is the combined meeting with the Professor J. C. Applegate Obstetrical Society, this usually being held in February. The combined meeting this year was saddened by the fact that Professor Applegate had passed on to his reward a month before the combined meeting was held. In view of this the combined meeting was a memorial to the memory of Professor John Chew Applegate. In April of each year the annual banquet of the society is held, on or as near as possible the date of the birthday of the Honorary President. On this occasion alumni members from all parts of the country assemble to honor Professor Mills and give him their felicitations and good wishes. Incidentally many experiences are related and many points are brought out to show that membership in the society will bring future benefits. The society wishes to express its appreciation of the interest shown to it by Doctor Wadsworth, and Doctor Frank Hammond, who always acts as Toastmaster at the banquet, and thus assures everyone a congenial evening.

A Steel as President, Dr. M. A. Manning as Vice-President, Dr. Jules Prevost as Secretary, and Dr. H. W. Boehringer as Treasurer. The purpose of the Society is to become better acquainted with the fundamentals and rapid progress of surgery. Meetings are held at intervals throughout the year. There have been several so far this year. The last one was a lecture, illustrated by motion pictures, on Gastric Ulcer by Dr. Gray, of New York. There will be at least one more meeting before the end of the year, when another interesting speaker will be brought before us. The original membership was limited to thirty, but due to the constant increase in the size of the classes, it has been extended to thirty-two members. There are seventeen Seniors, eleven Juniors and five Sophomores. The last meeting of the year is a banquet given by Professor Babcock to the society. It is one of the outstanding events of the year looked forward to, not only by the active members but also the old members, who come back for the joyous festivities and for the benefit derived from the speakers and the associations that are renewed.

Secretary Theo. S. Heineken..................................................Treasurer THE Hickey Physiological Society dates its origin back to 1923, when a small group of thirty students met and formed a society, naming it after the professor of Physiology, and making him its honorary president. This small group had no ccnception of what the society would extend to nor any idea of the intense interest in physiology that would result. The society has steadily grown until it embraces 225 members, the largest society in the school. Members are drawn from the four classes. All the classes are well represented, and although the business of the society is limited strictly to the Sophomore class, the upper classmen show intense interest and give many valuable hints and deductions of the various subjects discussed. Meetings are held once a month, and at these meetings papers are read by the students and discussed by the members at large. In conjunction with these papers some prominent member of the medical profession is asked to come before the society and deliver an address. During the past year many very prominent men have come before the society including Dr. William Hughes. Dr. H. L. Bachus, Dr. J. Kennedy, Dr. John B. Roxby and our Honorary President, Dr. Hickey. The society while strictly a medical society, interested in a special subject, does not limit its meetings to the members alone, it is open to all students of the University and also to laymen; many of the latter attend the meetings. We extend a cordial invitation to anyone interested in the subject to attend as many of the meetings as he desires. The great fame which the society has attained and the wonderful strides it has made are due to the untiring efforts of Professor J. Garrett Hickey, whose explanations and counsel are often sought and just as often willingly given. Many thanks and appreciation from the society are due Doctors John B. Roxby, John I. Fanz and Melvin A. Saylor for the intense and untiring interest they have shown us. We hope they will continue to be the good friends and counsellors they have been in the past. We want to thank the student body for the activity and interest they have shown and hope these will continue so that in the years to come the Hickey Physiological Society will exert as great an influence on the student body at Temple University Medical School, as it does at the present time. 1971 J.

THE SKULL 19 2 7 CLASS HISTORY FOUR grand and glorious years have glided by since the good ship 27 embarked on the rough, tumultuous and storm-tossed sea of medical wisdom ad finitum. Now that our goal is within view and almost within our very reach, let us look back and attempt to re-live some of the memories, friendships and impressions that have left their indelible imprints upon us. And, strange as it may seem, we find that those difficulties and hardships which once gave us most anxiety and concern, now afford us the greatest of pleasure in retrospection. The memories of our Freshman year though dimmed by the fleeting years, are and forever will be sincerely cherished by each and every one of us. The group was composed of men from the four corners of the earth; drawn together by one cause, one purpose and ont object—to learn as much as possible about the wisdom, science and philosophy of the art of healing. Knowing that none but the best would be good enough for our illustrious class, the powers that be at Temple greeted us with new and efficiently equipped Laboratories ol Chemistry and Histology and a remodeled dissecting room. These pleasantries, however, were not long lived as we were soon dazed by the sudden plunge into the cold facts of muscular origins, insertions and actions, and stumbling over osteologic tuberosities, grooves and foramina, peering into the dark closet of embryological transformations and studying wondenngly the actions of the raving bacterium. We soon learned that our labors of the past were as child's play in comparison with what lay before us. We can vividly recall that illustrious personage. Dr. D. Gregg Metheny, and his inimitable method cf leading us through the perplexing cranial osteology with the aid of a toothpick, or a sharpened matchstick. We can never forget those quizzes of Dr. Clinton Hermann In his class we had fever when called upon, sweats while reciting and chills when we saw our marks being recorded in his little book of reckoning. Dr. Melvin Saylor in his wonderfully lucid manner led us skillfully through the mazes of Physiological Chemistry, acquainting us with a test-tube view of the human make-up. His lectures wrere certainly inspiring. It would be folly to suppose that our memories of Dr. John I. Fanz could ever be erased. His speeches of admonition and his threats of “wailing, weeping and gnashing of teeth were not nearly as much appreciated then as they are now. However, he always redeemed himself by saying, Boys, we will now give you a chance to raise your marks. There came a day when the political solons deemed class organization advisable. A class meeting was called and after the din of battle could no longer be heard and the dust had cleared, we found our Ship of State embarked upon the stormy seas with Gerald Costello as president, John Howe, vice-president, Harold A. K. Mengle, secretary and James H. Cunnie, treasurer. [100} T. U. M. S. THE SKULL 19 2 7 Our worldly-wise superiors then realized that we were working entirely too hard, and decided that a little recreation would go a long way to keep us from becoming grinds. After much persuasion on their part, we reluctantly tore ourselves away from our books and attended a dance given by our superiors, in our honor. Of course we reciprocated later, they knew we would. Time certainly did fly, and before we knew it we were being marched like lambs to the slaughter of final examinations. The summer passed and soon September rolled around, gathering us from our various fields of remunerative endeavor, or of blissful rest, with the imperative call of duty. Those of us, who, by the Grace of God and the tolerant leniency of the powers that be at Temple, had taken the first hurdle successfully, roamed our hypothetical campus and greeted one another with joy. Now safely past the trials and tribulations of the first year, we settled down with free minds as Sophomores. We strolled about with stethoscopes in pockets, eager to match our newly acquired diagnostic skill against everyone and anyone. Many an innocent frog fell before the furious onslaught of our physiological enthusiasm. Our ardor on several occasions almost caused the exodus of Dr. Sajous’ rabbit. During the year our class suffered two irretrievable losses, Dr. Metheny passing to his reward and Dr. Parkinson resigning. We sincerely mourn the death of Dr. Metheny; he was a great student, a great teacher and a great friend. Of him, it can be truly said, “Think what a man ought to be and he was that. Dr. Parkinson's departure left us in a very dejected frame of mind. Students may have friends and friends but of all of them. Dr. Parkinson was the best. During this year we also had a political rally and the following men forged to the top: John Novak, president; Frank U. Davis, vice-president; Harold A. K. Mengle, secretary and James H. Cunnie, treasurer. Our Junior year found us at the Samaritan Hospital. The varied curriculum was a great relief from the monotony of day after day of laboratory work put in during the previous year. This session almost made us feel like doctors. We watched with awe and admiration each and every move of that genius-surgeon. Professor W. W. Babcock, and tried to catch every pearl of wisdom that dropped from his lips. If we ever had an idea that we knew Therapeutics, Professor Morgan, in his characteristic, spicy manner let us know that the Therapeutics we knew could not be found in books. This year brought us the thrill of Ward-walks at Blockley, working-up patients in the wards of the Samarium Hospital, and scrubbing up in the pit for surgical assists. At our annual free-for-all, George Mulligan was elected president; E. C. Edgertcn, vice-president; C. Q. DeLuca, secretary; and James H. Cunnie, treasurer, Having attained the distinguished position of Juniors our life was a bit less boisterous, but with the approach of the Christmas holidays our spirits rose and, aided by the kind dispensation of an obliging Providence, which provided a snowstorm for the purpose, many a terrible snow-ball fight was waged in the lecture rooms. The days flew by, and overrushed with work full of interest, we could scarcely believe that the year was at an end, examinations over and we were at rest. f 101 ) T. U. M. S. THE SKULL 19 2 7 Seniors at last! The beginning of the end of undergraduate days, with our goal in sight. With this incentive we buckled down to the work on the final lap of our journey. We were accorded the privilege and joy of coming in contact with Professor W. E. Robert' son, our beloved teacher of Medicine. Assists, Anesthesias and clinical diagnoses became a second nature to us, and we can also point with pride that we were instrumental in drag' ging many a babe into this cruel world. Those days and nights at the Greatheart Hospital will not lie forgotten soon. Amongst all our trials, tribulations and joys we were dealt a stagger' ing blow Professor J. Chew Applegate was no more. His was a life of sacrifice, devotion and hard work and he died in action. We have lost a great friend and teacher, and the world has lost a brilliant Obstetrician. One consolation that we have is that his place in the faculty was filled by a man of like calibre. Professor J. O. Arnold. We feel fully confident that he will carry on the work in as brilliant a manner as his illustrious predecessor. The senior class officers were: Thomas English, president; C. K. Tredennick, vice-president; N. P. A. Dienna, secretary; James H. Cunnie, treasurer. Our four years of good comradeship, warm friendship and fond memories are at an end; years that were a curious admixture of intense work, absorbing interest, serious words and real happiness. Associations formed during these years will remain with us forever. Fore' most in our memory stand out the impressions of our contact with those great minds that led us by the hand over our difficult path and made possible the realization of our life’s aim. May we now be successful in our efforts to live up to the ideals of our school, and to add our bit to the glory and honor of our Alma Mater- Greater Temple University. D. A. B.

THE SKULL 19 2 7 1927 Qlass History OEPTEMBER 2nd, 1924—The last of many nights of freedom for some time if one really intends to stick to the new job. We arrived like all tourists, in groups, at all hours and of all nationalities, curious of our new environment. My roommate and I were assigned to an apartment with bath— but down the hall—and for the first time since our premature days turned in at the puritanical hour of ten o'clock. Up at six— this was a more difficult proposition than retiring at ten—and on the go until 700 P.M. or after. Our first impressions of the Nurses' Home, particularly the reception room into which we were ushered, were vague; but the scrutiny of those coming off duty, shoving into the doorway and giving the Probies the once over, will not readily be forgotten. That incident was not nearly as embarrassing as when on the first day the crowd assembled for chapel in the early hours adorned in our regulation livery. Some fit and then some didn't; anywhere from two to twelve inches from the floor. Combined with this embar' rassment was that of our first day on the floor. Even the patients knew we were green and sent us on many trifling errands, making us hate everything and everybody when we discovered their intention. The first three months we had it fairly easy except for studies or until we received our caps—and then our duties became more exacting. Off duty was generally spent in taking pictures, window shopping on the avenue, eating and studying in our spare moments. The hot summer changed to fall and early winter. We needed wraps so capes were ordered and received. September 21st, 1924—Still new. We attended a most interesting lecture. Dr. H. Thomas spoke as to how operations were performed on the boys in France. Miss McCoombs talked about the nursing side, which was well received by the nurses and probies. A few of us probies managed to slide into seats in front among the talent but the remainder were forced to step to the back of the room among the assembly. November 26th—Attired in our new capes we attended the laying of the corner' stone of the new hospital. Pictures were taken of the whole class for the 1924 class book. Still probies, we were well known by now: with innate knowledge that we were soon to be initiated into the precepts of our Alma Mater. December 7th—Caps, bibs, and cuffs were presented. We turned out in full regalia with many congratulations, overwhelmed by this effusion. Next week we bearded Mr. Frank for the first of many fives. During the Christmas Season we were invited to our first dance held in the Nurses' Home. What an exciting time, trying to know everyone in so short a time; we might have succeeded had the evening been longer. A few girls had gone home by this time but the depleted ranks were replenished by those who joined our class in January. Studying, drawing skulls, blood circula-tion, diet and disease; in fact learning the why and how of everything kept us busy dur' ing the winter. Spring—Summer—Classes over and vacations at hand. Most of the Seniors were finishing but we were working hard through the hottest summer we had ever endured. September, 1925 One year gone. We were then Juniors, and had a get-together (122] T. U. M. S. THE SKULL 19 2 7 meeting to elect willing workers to carry on the class aspirations. Miss Boda was the official collector and was very glad if she could but collect just the dues, without alluding to fines. Class rings were discussed; representatives called. A design was selected and received with delight. The rings were of a very unusual setting in comparison with those of former years, which in our estimation, increased their intrinsic value. Collecting funds for a Hallowe'en Dance seemed like extortion, but sufficient was collected and the party was a glorious success. Such luscious eats, boys a-plenty, a peppy orchestra, were supple mental in making this affair a success. Lectures this year, sitting by the hour listening to our profs talk English, Greek, Ethiopian, anything but plain U. S. with which we could all be familiar. Unintentionally these discourses ofttimes produced somnolence, but due to Miss Moore’s vigilance we were quickly reanimated. We are truly grateful for all the effort they propagated, trying to make moss grow on rolling stones. They fretted, fussed and fumed, and when exhausted plotted an exam to prove their success. We were surprised to go through with flying colors and spring fever. Vacations! Back to the job once again with the future prospect of being Seniors and in the last year of apprenticeship. We will eventually become journeymen but can never attain the heights of a master in this profession. During the summer and late fall a few members were missed at different times because of affiliation with the Grcatheart Hospital. Mrs. Norris was lovely to us all; the other nurses congenial and willing to teach. The chef cooked the most delicious and inviting food and an extemporaneous lunch was always available if hungry. We were all sorry to leave so sunny and cheery an environment. September, 1926—The third year. By now we are fairly accustomed to the routine with greater responsible duties, and progress more easily with better understanding and foresight of our patients’psycho-physical attitudes. The old officers were exhausted from their labors during the last year and asked to be relieved. New officers were chosen and being unfamiliar with the prodigiousness o the task before them, blindly began their duties. Talk of a class book was then the leading discussion. Miss Eschenbach talked of the hard, long grind before us. Finally, a decision was made to combine with the Medical Students. Now more helpers were needed to make our part a success. Miss Doll was chosen Associate Editor. Miss White, Business Manager. To have our pictures ready by the time the book was to go to print was their first neoumena when more than a multitude of excuses were made for laxity in turning in material. Miss Kissinger— custodian of both class and book funds. The result of all our labors is graduation, which when June comes will be the fulfillment of all our expectations and aspirations for our future. We will bid our Alma Mater good-bye with many a regret for the parting but with a better understanding of the many difficulties met with while here, and as time passes will long for these times back again. E. B. ‘Motto:—Nihil sine laborum. (Nothing without Labor) [123} T. U. 1. S. THE SKULL 19 2 7 T urses 'Prophecy AWN, the birth of a new day, with its promise of the future and its dreams of the past. The phantom of night was clasping her black veils closely, pre-paring for her flight with the stars—back to the land of the night before. Merging from the east, clad in millions of golden sun' beams, was dawn. She carried a tiny clock which tinkled alarmingly loud—announcing to the world that it was morning once more. She laughed—the clock rang again—6:00 A. M., 6:00 A. M., it seemed to fairly scream. I sighed longingly. Then a voice came from the west—“Come with me, back through the land of the night before—across the seas to yesterday. Should I go? My eye-lids drooped—it was so early—1 would go back with the night. Fast through the grey light we flew, backward, always backward, yet dreamlike we approached the future. At last we paused, breathless. Eighty white beds, in neat rows, spanned a wide room. Nurses, internes and chiefs were hustling about, going, coming, asking, receiving. It was 10:00 A. M. by the clock on the wall. With a start 1 realized its significance. Dressing time in the ward. The supervisor—was it? Could it be? It was- Agnes Boll, my old-time classmate with the old-time speed, giving directions to a little proby. The child—she seemed no more than that with her ruffled pink dress and fetching lace cap—had a strangely familiar face. Where had I seen such hair and eyes before? Miss Boll's deep voice answered my question. “Miss Caplesky, have you given that intravenous of magnesium lactose yet? Like your mother before you, you need constant supervision. Exit the child, screaming madly, and furiously tearing her blonde curls out in handfuls. I mar- velled. In our proby days we were never permitted to give vent to our emotions while on duty. But times had changed, even in the Samaritan. Another striking contrast was the girl internes. They not only wore white coats and trousers, but had their hair shaved becomingly. I looked to the phantom for an explanation. The shave, she said, is to distinguish the girls from the men, who are now wearing the hair braided. And indeed, so it proved, for walking down the corridor we spied an elderly gentleman, accompanied by three nurses and four internes. His head was bowed in thought, his shoulders drooped—dear old Dr. Cantor —his defiant curls, now grey, plastered neatly down, braided and secured with red ribbons. A purple mist enveloped us. We were again whirled through the air—backward into the past, yet forward into the future. In a moment the blare of saxophones and the blinding lights of Broadway's night life greeted us. Women—music—life—and love, all swaying to the weird strains of a night club. A brilliantly lighted sign led us to— Madame Schwamlem's Jazz Box, featuring the five dancing widows—Gertie Rossowski, Sadie Stevenson, Jewels Barnes, Fairy Wake-land and Essy Meyers. It sounded promising, we entered. A tricky little bell-hop flashed by, paging. It was too late to stop, but I recognized her as Eloise Brinkworth. But who was the woman paged? Miss Ethelyn Marie Doll wanted at the main office, screamed Brinky. A tall, slender person appeared from the ladies' bar-room and staggered gracefully across the room. Medium-sized tears rolled down my cheeks. My old roommate in such a place at such a time. Then I saw a badge on her gown. H24] T. U. M. S. THE 5KULL 19 2 7 National Delegate to the Gold Diggers' Convention. She had reached her goal, so I dried my tears. The phantom was tugging my sleeve. “Hurry, let us go, the dawn will overtake us, come. This time we hailed a taxi, but not quick enough to avoid two old women, begging for pennies with their tin cups. I stared in horror. Henrietta Bott and Theresa Qua trochi had come to this. On their coats was the sign—1 was a nurse. Enough was enough. We cheerfully deposited a shining nickel in each cup. While riding along Broadway, 1 made up my mind to find out more about my old class mates. The phantom was very obliging. Margaret White had given up her profession and was now raising cauliflowers in South Dakota. Bernice Milroy was teaching parcheesi to the Hindoos of East India. Ethel Macllravy had entered the medical profession and had successfully proved that soup bones were not all they had been cracked up to be. Little Ann Brennan was in the midst of a divorce proceeding. It seems she had eloped with a Turkish count and while on her honeymoon had fallen in love with a French highwayman. Peggy Boda, Kissy and Elisabeth Lewis were still thoroughly married in spite of the times. As suddenly as she had come, the phantom vanished. A glaring light blinded me for a moment. Dawn had not only caught us but had passed on by, for the twelve o'clock whistles were shrieking, “Noon. The trip through dreamland to the future was over, but it had left many pleasant memories of our training days together in the Samaritan. J. M. Bailey. NIHIL SINELABORUM 1125 1 T. U. M. S.

Just to be different she possesses two hobbies, dancing and sleeping. The one sad thing of her young life was when she was elected organist at Chapel, for it meant she had to forfeit ten minutes of her beauty sleep. We do not know of her tntentions for the future, but we know success is hers for the taking. She will probably become a Night Directress 'cause she is quite keen about night duty; at any rate she will be a wonderful nurse for a while at least. JULIA BARNES “Julie ' Roxborough, Pa. c( QEEN but nor heard,” not our Julie, we are -' ever conscious of her presence. To dispense gloom just use a little mental telegraphy and presto, Julie’s spirit vanquishes all gloom. She is very adept at originating some prank for the rest of the Bolsheviks'-to carry on, and it is particularly refreshing after stepping on the carpet for a grilling with that stripped feeling and have a bony hand to prevent submerging. Julie shows little taste for flattery, however flattered internally she may be, and sticks to brass tacks, hammering harder than ever—nothing ever came of flattery. Her main ambition is to make Samaritan more habitable for Student Nurses. [1271 T. U. M. S. THE SKULL 19 2 7 MARGARET T. BODA Pei Greenwich. N. Y. A perfect young itidy, nobly planned. To unn, to comfort and command. Mature made her what ihe is And never made another. PEG is one of our loyal classmates, but she is very quiet, seldom heard above a whisper, exceot at Babby's clinic where she makes her presence known by tossing instruments around and saying Coming Doctor. She loves to please and make people happy even though her favorite expression is Leave me alone. It is said that her hobby is getting under mistletoe but this has yet to be proven, still waters run deep, so you never can tell. She is a cartoonist of no mean ability.although at times requires inspiration for which she calls in consultants and apparently always receives the desired effect. No doubt after graduation New York trips will be more frequent. AGNES A BOLL Aggie Philadelphia, Pa. A GNES comes to us as a woman well versed in the ways of the business world. Nurs mg is only one of the numerous arts that Aggie has spent time in accomplishing. At times, when in the proper frame of mind, she will entertain us with a few short selections of High Opera. To make a long evening short a few Scotch jokes and the party grows more interesting. Stick around, you ma find a Treasure Island. A Cat and Canary may be enough for some of the class, but for Aggie, an apartment on the Boulevard is for what she has set her cap. [1283 T. U. M. S. THE SKULL 19 2 7 HENRIETTA H. BOTT “Henrietta Philadelphia, Pa. tJrENR1ETTA was the first of the class to arrive at the hospital, and from this fact she naturally assumed the r6!e of mother to the flock. This duty, if you will, she carries out to perfection. She is by far the most reticent of the class, seldom coming out to play and never angling foe the opposite sex. She bears the distinction of never missing chapel and never breaking the rules. It appears that she has had some shadows in her past life, for she never smiles, and she does have beautiful teeth, so fine that a smile would captivate any male. Aside from this she has other womanly attributes, namely a good cook and a good seamstress. Surely with such assets a home of her own would not be hard to get. The class wishes Henrietta the best of luck and hopes that some day all her ambitions will be fulfilled. ANN M. BRENNAN Orphan Annie” Philadelphia, Pa. “Why live forty, when we can do if all in twenty? TNNOCENCE personified, Orphan Annie is the very essence of propriety and decorum. A pleasing smile and a winsome nature, however, made her one of the best liked girls in the class. Ann held all the honors of the class when it came to the pastime of card playing—she was quite proficient in the two moat popular games, pinochle and bridge. The above also holds for dancing, she was an ardent Charlestoner. Never a week passes without her seeing the feature picture at the Stanley Theatre. And also count that day lost when she doesn’t crave for her favorite dish—spaghetti. She has come to the conclusion that the quartz-light on the roof is bad for the complexion, and so she avoids it whenever possible. On her own admission she doesn't know why she came into training. [1291 T. U. M. S. THE SKULL 19 2 7 ELOISE BR1NKWORTH Brinky Philadelphia, Pa. eLAP hands, here comes Brinky 3nd look at that haircut, isn't it tricky. Although only five feet one, she is a dynamo of human energy. Eyes that bespeak mischief itself, a smile that never wears off. an unusual sense of humor, a unique liking for things ridiculous, and a wonderful concept of the joys obtainable in this life, are all embodied in this tiny being. Whoever heard of the quartz lamp or the thermal light being used where Brinky was nursing. Who could help but notice that the mortality rate decreased when her striking personality, her youthful spirit, her sympathetic nature, and her radiant and contagious laughter were present— “Brinky is the Florence Nightingale of the Men's Ward. Upon our memories have been engraved fond recollections of one who truly believed in Take life and live as you find it, for everything is really worth while. SOPHIA R CAPLESKY “Blondy , “Cflppy Shamokin, Pa. There is no need of complain: among good friends. THIS just suits Blondy , for one never knows what those talkative eyes are saying—not that her eyes need to talk, her tongue takes care of that, as everyone well knows. At times “Blondy becomes almost serious minded and then again her equilibrium sways—giggle, giggle—titter, titter. We have here a living marvel, a girl who can chatter and giggle at the same time, and we might say here that Sophie's creed is, “When fun and lessons clash, let the lessons go to smash. Sophie would not hurt anyone's feelings or disappoint them by coming to class early. Oh no! Ambition- Some dentist's assistant in home or office. [1301 T. U. M. S. THE SKULL 19 2 7 ETHLYN DOLL Doll Philadelphia. Pa. OLL is the nurse of mystery and excess ambition. She delights-.tn keeping aecrers and playing good Samaritan. If not busy writing mystery letters to parts unknown, she is giving the canary. Cheric , its morning care. She has changed a great deal since she came to Samaritan three years ago—community life—two in a room was at first a terrible trial to her existence. But at last she has become quite efficient in the art of living a la sardine. Doll is usually found near women's ward or maternity, for the same reason that she Loves it. emphasis on the Love. Her ambition is to live and love forever. Oh Gee. CLARA KISSINGER Kxssy Girardville, Pa. ( 7V”ISSY , the ever ready, willing nurse, can easily be identified by the charming manner and winning smile. We believe that dancing and sleeping must be her chief hobbies, and when you see her do the Charlesburg you might fear that Kissy missed her calling, but those who lave been associated with her know that she has chosen rightly. We can predict nothing but success, but are not so sure that she will follow this work long, for if rumors are correct she will, before long, embark on the rocky sea of matrimony. Whatever she decides to do though, the good wishes of her classmates will always be with her. U31] T. U. M. S. — THE SKULL 19 2 7 ELIZABETH LEWIS Lew Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Silence is golden. F A quiet, unassuming nature, averse to flattery, religiously studious, but an all-around girl She is very fond of literature, always being seen with a book during her spare moments, and her other avocation is music, in which she takes keen delight. Elizabeth seldom joined us in our gang clandestine meetings, which sometimes consumed entire evenings. because much of her time is monopolized, penning these daily epistles to--------? Having someone tucked away in the sticks will tend to make great inroads on one's time. We heard once Elizabeth's ambition was to be a Directress—well, anyhow, we all wish her the best of success. RUTH MEYER Ruthic Atlantic City, N. J. ( D UTH is another one of the big girls of the ■ - -class. but her tall suture is exceeded by the bigness of her heart. She was a little hard to approach at first, but after a few gentle overtures, all her aloofness quickly disappeared. She wras one of the few in the class that had extensive duty in the maternity ward, and we hope that the prolonged practice will come in good stead at some future date. Along with her O. B. experience, she had quite a sojourn in the operating-room, and while there was the principal actor in many a hair-raising performance. but these are not being held against her good standing. When she leaves training she will no doubt specialize entirely in medical cases. [132] T. U. M. S. THE SKULL 19 2 7 ETHEL M. MacILRAVEY “Goldie , “Mac Philadelphia, Pa. If success is argument, here is success. Cl lERY excitable, sometimes calm, when asleep if not awakened suddenly. We sometimes improve upon nature but who wants to, when this state is a charming characteristic of our good pal Mac. Generous, big-hearted, quick in anger but quicker to reprieve. Mac is the original of the School Girl Complexion and Golden Glow ads, but it is really real and consequently the envy of everyone. “Mac possesses all the qualifications a modern girl could have, a good line, good looks, out to win and spontaneous laughter. We could go on, but what’s the use. Mac loves night duty, especially on Second A, at least she says so. When looking for Mac just call at Mother’s or keep an eye on the P. R.

I live up state. you would hear her say, and very proud of it indeed. Milroy is small but conspicuous- -always full of fun and pep which helped tremendously in breaking up the tedium of our training days by her many pranks. She has a gentle smile and an innocent manner which almost makes us forget the mischief in her brown eyes. Her chief ambition in life is to be in partnership with a certain patty—which no doubt will be realized after a short time of practice. [133] T. U. M.

The same flash, turn and walk has done a lot for her. even from her “proby days. Occasionally we hear her saying queer things which sound a lot like Salvation. really it isn't, though she is a religious girl, and what it is we won't tell. Her ambition, as we understand, is to be a real Samaritan Nurse, and a private nurse for somebody. What else she has in mind we really don’t know. All of us like Quatro for herself and her goodness toward others. To wish her success and happiness is small, but to say, “Go to it Quatro. she'll do it. we know.

That impenetrable calm appearance that Stevie'’ always assumes, seems as though it could never be lcet. Even when she is scrubbed for Babby she never lets an expression, whatever it be, mar the demure peacefulness of the O. R. It’s a secret—but Stevie wants to be a navy nurse, just for the travel part, so she can see the world through 3 port-hole, but perhaps some gay young sheik will prevent it. Stevie as a nurse (R.N.) will go big—she has all the qualities—build, looks, and efficiency. {135} T. U. M. S. THE SKULL 19 2 7 HELEN M. WAKELAND '•Wa y' Streusburg, Md.

You’d also be astonished at her knowledge of machinery. One night while touring the Boulevard, the machine became overheated and had to be stopped, when the whys and wherefores were explained to Helen, she asked, And do you have to strip the gears to cool the engine? We feel sure that some day Helen will be a teacher unless some Eddie in life’s current changes her course. MARGARET M. WHITE Whitey Biuchcid, W. Va. A QUIET, demure young lady from the South, + so willing always to do nice things for others, truly a real nurse. Wherever you see ’’Whitey”, Peg Boda is bound to be somewhere near; they might be likened to Bobsy twins, they're so different. In looking to the future one would think that Whitey is destined to specialize in Pediatrics, she liked Roof Garden so much, but those who are on the inside know that she likes O. R. better,- what the advantage is we can't give away. So the future outlook is still questionable, but no doubt after a short period of practice around Philadelphia she'll return to the South and be happy forever after. Her ambition is to nurse one certain person and her hobby—late permissions. At any rate a great success is bound to be hers. {136} Itt i] JUNIOR CLASS . U. M. S.

From north, south and west T3o the 'framing School Where training's best. JT WAS in May of nineteen hundred twenty'five that the first of this very remarkable class made its appearance at Samaritan Hospital to begin training for the most noble and glorious profession woman can enter. As the summer passed a few more were added and the coming of September brought another group to join the ranks. As these were beginning to feel their importance in the school, last but not least came a group the beginning of the New Year. What a time we had adjusting ourselves to our new surroundings, for upon entering training one steps into an entirely different world. How utterly foreign the professional language sounds and how conspicuous one feels as a Frobie. Six o'clock came awfully early and seven to ten-thirty so short. One sure had to hustle some to get to class on time, for Miss Moore, like any other good instructress, expects us to be: On time Every time, All the time. Eventually it came our turn for night duty. Who can ever forget the horror of their first night on duty? Didn't the “Wee Sma” hours become sparky? What exciting times we had with deliveries, emergencies, patients “going bad or passing out. Days and months rapidly pass. When lo and behold, one morning we appear in chapel wearing our one black band, thus distinguishing us as the Junior Class. As the Junior Class we began receiving our lectures from various Doctors and gradually assuming more and more responsibilities. Our one great step was that of class organization. This we did on October twenty-first with the aid of our most kind friend and instructress, Miss Edna Moore. Our first social function was a Hallowe'en party. Upon very short notice, we did not expect much of a success, but if anyone wants to know of the success just ask someone who was there With lectures and examinations P. R.

[153 1 OBITUARY JOHN CHEW APPLEGATE, M.D., was born on a farm near Hurffville, Gloucester County, New Jersey, on February 19, 1861. He was the son of Joseph and Drusilla (Batten) Applegate. His grandfather, Anthony Applegate, was one of the first settlers in the vicinity of Maurice River, New Jersey. Professor Applegate was one of eight children. He had one older brother, William S. Applegate, who had chosen the profession of medicine. Professor Applegate received his elementary education in the small country schools of Lincoln and Harrisonville, New Jersey. From these he went to the Friends' Select School at Woodstown, where he obtained a teacher’s certificate. He taught at the Harmony School in Mullica Hill, Gloucester County, until the spring of 1884. While still teaching, he wrote many articles on education and was known in that section as a journalist of no small note. Prior to the spring of 1884 he had begun the reading of medicine with Dr. E. E. De Grofft, as was the custom of that day, and it was through Dr. De Grofft's influence that Professor Applegate took up the study of medicine. In the fall of the same year, 1884, he entered Jefferson Medical College and was graduated in 1887. During his college years he became interested in Obstetrics and Dermatology. Following his graduation, he took special courses in these subjects, one on Diseases of the Skin, given at the Philadelphia Hospital for Skin Diseases, and the other in Obstetrics at the Charity Lying-In Hospital of Philadelphia. Professor Applegate then left Philadelphia and returned to New Jersey, where he took over the practice of his brother William, at Fairton, his brother moving to Brooklyn, New York. Professor Applegate stayed at Fairton three years and then moved to Bridgeton, New Jersey. On June 6, 1888, he married Frances, daughter of Zomar and Rachel Briggs, of Cape Vincent, New Jersey. Three years later, their only child was born, Zomar Applegate. While in Bridgeton, Professor Applegate was one of its most capable and esteemed physicians. He was a member of the Cumberland County •Hv '.. U • ya [154} Medical Society, and served as President of that body for two terms. He was also a delegate to the New Jersey State Medical Society and the American Dermatological Society, as well as being a life member of the Jefferson Medical College Alumni. During this time he was a frequent contributor to the Codex Medicus of Philadelphia and the Philadelphia Medical Bulletin. He was also a member of the Masonic Order, passing through many chairs. In 1903 he came to Philadelphia and almost immediately became affiliated with the Samaritan Hospital. In this same year he was asked to take the chair of Obstetrics of Temple Medical College, then held by Professor W. Wayne Babcock. Ever since he became a member of the staff of the Hospital, both Professor Applegate and Mrs. Applegate were most active in helping the institution to reach its present high standard. Mrs. Applegate was a member of the Board of Lady Managers of the Hospital at the time of Professor Apple' gates death. As a measure of the universal esteem and respect in which he was held, it may be added that he served as President of the Hospital Staff for eight consecutive years. In 1907, in conjunction with Dr. Jesse O. Arnold, Professor Applegate organized the Applegate Obstetrical Society, at the urgent request of the students. He was always most active in striving to make that Society one of the best of the Undergraduate Societies of Temple Medical College. Since Professor Applegate came to Philadelphia he became a member of the Philadelphia Obstetrical Society, the Philadelphia County Medical Society, the Pennsylvania State Medical Society and others. At noon, December 20, 1926, Professor Applegate suddenly passed away. No few words can express the loss to the Hospital, the loss to the Staff, or the loss to the Student Body. He left behind him, in the hearts of those who knew him, an ache of grief and bereavement such as only those who are great' hearted and great'souled can leave. As Edward Vance Cook puts it: “Death comes with a crawl or comes with a pounce, And whether it be slow or spry, It isn't the fact that you're dead that counts. It's only—'How did you die?' C. K. M. {155} T. U. M. S. THE SKULL 1 2 7 FAREWELL THE last scenes of the drama of our college career are to take place very shortly. The curtain will come down, and out into the world we will be thrown to practice the most humane of the professions—Medicine. We are leaving our Alma Mater with sorrow and regret. It means departing from our kind professors and instructors who have so unselfishly given us of their knowledge and of their experiences. We will also leave our classmates with whom warm ties of friendship have been created. We leave happy because of the success attained through long years of preparation, and because we are eager to put into practice the teachings derived from lectures and text'books. We are aware of the r61e that we, as young physicians, are about to play in the various communities to which Fate will send us. We are fortunate to live in this era, for there is taking place a great evolution in all orders of life, and we as integral parts of society and because of our training, will be called upon to play an active part in the various problems that are facing mankind as a result of that great evolution. The physicians duty is to cure, if he can, the ailments of humanity; to make life more bearable for the sick; but this is just one minor detail of what our efforts should be. We have still far more important duties to perform. It will not only suffice to prescribe for the sick. We mus search beyond the surface. We must seek for the explanations as yet enveloped in mystery, to account for the cause of so much suffering. There are a great many problems unsolved; there are many fields unexplored; and it is towards these issues that we should direct our atten' tion. There is a great need for investigation and research in the scientific problems which meet the practitioner daily. Of course, it is true that in order to be successful in research a great deal of patience, hard work, and last but not least a philosophical mind are essential. Who knows but that there may be someone in our class who posesses such qualities and who would be the chosen one to unveil some of our ob' scured medical problems? I believe that at no other time in history has the public been so interested in medical topics as it is to-day. People are acquainting themselves with the new theories and methods of combatting disease. This very fact requires of every physician the necessity of studying always and keeping up with the new discoveries by reading the medical journals. The end of a medical education in the college is simply the recognition by the Faculty that we are capable of studying; it does not mean that we know everything that is to be known. Commencement entails the beginning of a new epoch in our life; it means the beginning of real, hard, individ-ual study of the conditions that we will meet in our profession. One of the great duties of the physician is to teach. He must avail himself of all the opportunities he has to preach the ways and means whereby disease can be prevented. At the present time we are realizing the importance of preventive medicine. The public is anxious to co-operate with the 1156} T. U. M. S. THE SKULL 19 2 7 physician, and will always do its duty to follow the advice given by the medical man. We must instruct the people especially of the advantages that are to be derived through thorough annual physical examina tions. We must not lose sight of the fact, that after all, we are merely sentinels against disease; and, therefore, must be at all times ready to repel the invasion of all factors which directly or indirectly are capable of producing disease. I need not emphasize the fact that no other profession, perhaps, demands from its mem' bers such a great deal of sacrifice and time as ours. We all know that we have worked hard in the conquest of our goal. The road has not been altogether smooth, but the experiences derived through the obstacles encountered will surely prove beneficial to all of us. We are leaving Temple University proud of her diploma and with our hearts full of gratitude towards our preceptors. Their efforts have been invaluable in giving us our foundation. It is our turn to show that we are worthy of our degrees. Let us carry on diligently doing our share and at all times performing our duties, which are sacred. May we all do our best to help and minimize the sufferings of the sick, for the welfare of Humanity and for the satisfaction that duty honestly and faithfully performed, brings to everyone! J. S.

And life was a constant Thrill, I belonged to a Swell Fraternity— And, of course, I belong to it still. I bought me a Pin, bejeweled and smart, And it cost me a lot of dough. And I wore it constantly, next to my heart, Or only a bit below. The years have gone their eternal way And have left their indelible sign, But of course I am meeting from day to day Fraternity Brothers of mine. And they sometimes ask me about the Pin, The Badge of my youth's devotion; But where it has gone (it's a perfect sin!) I haven't the slightest notion. The law's decree and its firm intent. Which Brothers were bound to obey Proclaimed that a Pin could only be lent To its owner's Fiancee. And I kept that law to the letter thereof. For mine was a loyal flame; That Pin is held by a long-lost Love— I wish I remembered her name! The Delta of Sigma Nu. IstStudent—“Here'sa list of objects found in this man’s stomach.

SKULL 19 2 7 THE T he “Presentation” of a Premature Obstetrician Read at the Applegate Obstetric Society Banquet 1 was seated in my office late one summer night, when A senior student, on a “case”, Came running in, with pallid face— Had some trouble, so he said, With the undescending head. Made a digital to see— When, great horrors! Holy Gee! Here's a “face , as sure as sin— Mouth half open sucks me in! Has no teeth—I'm glad of that— Glad to know, too, where I’m at! Tell you what—I’m not so slow! Always thought it—now I know. “Madam, I have found the cause. Why your labor breaks all laws That pertain to normal birth— You’re the rarest case on earth! “Mighty well for you, it is. I'm a man that knows his bis,— Else you might go on in pain, Till the swallow’s come again! “With my finger now in place, I can touch your baby's face— Even feel its rosy lip, Puckered 'round my finger tip! ! “This of course, will never do— Face presenting—won't come through! Here is w’here my skill comes in— Changing vertex for the chin! Quite a simple thing, I 'low,— All depends on knowing how! Obstet work is my strong forte— Jobs like this are only sport! !” Boastingly these words were said, As he knelt beside the bed. And with careful, gentle art. Sought that child's presenting part. Then he rose in all his pride. And with chesty air he stride, Walked to where one flick'ring light Broke the darkness of the night. “What the devil's this I see? Finger black as black can be! Shades of Hades, what's it mean? Baby's mouth must have gangrene! “I've done something dreadful here— Wonder why I feel so queer! Hope to heaven no one sees How I'm quaking at the knees! ! U60} T. U. M. S. THE SKULL 19 2 7 “Think I need some outside air— Stifling hot, I do declare! “Madam, something has gone wrong— I'll go for help—’twill not be long! “Just stop pushing, if you am Till I bring another man, I'm not well at all tonight. Guess my liver’s not quite right1” Thus our erstwhile hero brave. Made excuse and took his leave. Took his smear'd-up finger, too, Just to prove his words were true. Once outside he broke and ran, Only as a student can— Through that midnight atmosphere, Like another Paul Revere! ! There was human life at stake! Must have help for mercy's sake! Doctor, tco, must have relief, Ere his good name came to grief! So a dozen squares or more, Brought him breathless to my door In much shorter space of time. Than it takes to tell this rhyme. “See! he gasp'd, like one half mad, “Strangest case I ever had! ! This hellish stuff upon my hand, Is more than I can understand! !” Then while sweat rolled off his brow. He told the tale I've told you now; But ere that night he went away, This final word, he had to say:— “Let me beg, implore, beseech,— Don’t tell the boys, it was a breech! ! ! So I've told not a single soul What made that finger black as coal! ! ! Dr. J. O. Arnold. [1611 T. U. M. S. THE SKULL 19 2 7 ARTHUR C. MORGAN, M.D., F.A.C.P. ELIGHTFULLY vivacious, painfully, scathingly sarcastic, exceedingly witty and terribly exacting. These sterling attributes, qualities, or what have you, sum up an innocent bystander's estimation of his honorable self. Long before our entrance within the hallowed walls of the Samaritan, we were informed by our predecessors concerning the man who made sleep impossible, and who had the inherent faculty of being able to subject the “white wings”to-be to sudden rises in blood pressure, and at the same time make them suffer hourly attacks of formication —all this without the use of drugs. But the years rolled 'round, as is their wont, and alas! but not alack! one fine Thursday morning in early September we experienced the thrill of gazing upon his austere being. Too terrified to move, too nervous to be sensible, we awaited with fear and trembling the sound of the spoken voice from our auto-cratic friend. To our great surprise, his opening remarks were mild and kind. The roll-call over, he began to lecture on Typhoid Fever, and though it wasn't the night before Christmas, “not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse!” Had we been misled? Then the peals of the bell on the Ambu-lance caused some unfortunate member of our Class to cast a wistful glance in the general direction of the Ambulance Shed. It is said that “fools rush in where angels fear to tread.” Need we say more? The ball was started rolling and has kept on ever since, gathering momentum on its way. We then received first-hand a sample of the talk that has made him famous. “Turn around, turn around, you re not 'White Wings' yet. You're Juniors, understand, only Juniors.” As the weeks rolled by we learned to know him better. The wise ones figured him as being very nice, until one day all their castles came tumblmg down. Spicy had begun to quiz. “Tell me what you don't know about Dover's Powder”—“the shot heard 'round the world”—and with it some courageous Junior took the count. The Good Book says Lot's wife turned to salt, but the unfortunate who wTas up for general judgment turned to dust. Each week another batch of victims, the bright ones and the dim ernes, suffered alike. To each recitation, no matter how complete, something, some remark, either general or personal, must be added, such as “Your move,” “Go ahead,” and the customary staccato bark, “Wrong! !” with the afterthought added by the class, “as usual.” As all things will in this old world of ours, the year drew to a close and final exams were the order of the day. Caffeine must needs be used to bolster up our ebbing strength, for “what is so hot as a day in June” in Philadelphia, with a final in Therapeutics staring one in the face? It came at last and with what a crash— “Cachets”—“this was the most unkindest cut of all-” Some of us saw at a glance that there would be casualties, and true, there were, but to those poor unfortunates who had succumbed “Spicy” showed that he had a heart by giving a really sane re-examination. Senior Year arrived, “Special Delivery and the “condiment of the faculty table” was on hand to greet us with a welcoming smile, a snappy wink, and a written quiz for a [162] T. U. M. S. THE SKULL 19 2 7 prescription for every and any known dis ease from Senile Gangrene to the Internal Treatment of Actinomycosis. We found him the same hard taskmaster, the same typical pedagogue, never relenting with the lash, deftly steering us on towards June and the consummation of our hopes. He has laughed with us and at us, thrown mud and rubbed it in, enlightened us time and again that we are “soon to be foisted upon an unsuspecting public” and as a result we realize that he has become embedded deeply in the fastnesses of our hearts. He is revered and loved, but most of all, re spectcd. For though you've beaten and you’ve flayed us, by the living God that made us, you're better than the best, and that's no whim. Now our story is told. We've tried to show you “Spicy” in his every mood, just as we saw him, and busy though he be, should he perchance read this tribute, we would offer him these few lines: And so, kind friend. Most estimable man, Take not offense As these few lines you scan. Bow down thine ear. To us your blessings lend— With mercy, temper justice At the end. isMSa 1163} T. U. M. S.

THE SKULL 19 2 7 THE FLAPPER'S PRAYER I crave the lights that brightly shine Also the men and the sparkling wine. I crave for fun without paying the price, I want to be naughty and yet be nice; I crave for the thrills of a long close kiss, 1 want the things that good girls miss; I crave the heart and arms of a man And yet stay single, if I can. I’ve come to you now for advice In how to be naughty and still be nice. I crave to do what other girls do: Tease 'em, cuddle up, bill and coo. Blacken my eyes and powder my nose, Rouge my cheeks to look like a rose; Tango a little and shimmy a lot, Park my corset when the weather is hot; Ride and swim and golf and skate. Take the fence instead of the gate; Break all records—yes—but one And be good and true when the game is done. I don’t like the pepper but I do like the spice. Oh, I want to be naughty and still be nice. AND THE ANSWER This advice, dear girl, is good and true, You can't eat your cake and have it, too. If you want the man and you want the wine, Why, someone must pay when you wine and dine. The next must be but a longer kiss. If you want the things that good girls miss, You've got to be wiser than most girls, Sis, So watch your step, is my advice. If you want to be naughty and still be nice. Go to it, kid, with powder and paint To make you look like what you “ain't”. Shimmy and dance to your heart’s content. Be hugged and kissed till your ribs are bent; Park your corsets on a hickory limb. But never, my dear, go in to swim. Bathe if you will on the dewy green. But you can't use mud and come out clean. The game you’d play is man's long suit Since Eve first nibbled on forbidden fruit. Whatever you get you must pay the price: You can't be naughty and still be nice. Phi Quarterly, December, 1926.

S. 5KULL 19 2 7 THE THE STUDENTS RATHSKELLAR” 1927 MODEL JUST around the comer from the school, there is a dive or joint which masquerades under the name of “restaurant.” Here the proprietor dispenses what he fondly believes is food. The procedure which is the established custom is something like the following: Enter a student. After cautiously sniffing the atmosphere he decides to take another chance, and sits down near the door, where he can get an occasional breath of fresh air. He also chooses his seat so that he may keep an eye on his Benny. Now comes the really sad part. He picks up the menu with his fingers crossed. Alas! Fate is still against him. It is Monday, so therefore the same old Monday Menu is still doing tireless duty:— Franks Kraut Franks 6 Beans Pork Kraut Pork Beans Franks Pork Beans Kraut Our student rests his head in his hands. There is time for him to catch up on a little sleep, before the waiter finally decides to take notice of him. When he is asked for his order, he merely stabs his finger in the general direction of that greasy fingermarked card bearing the slogans “Pork Beans, Franks - -etc.” After all, what difference does it make what he orders? The waiter will bring whatever he cm get his hands on (and his thumbs in) first. Let us pass lightly over the painful proceeding immediately following, during which our dauntless hero, at the very risk of his life, struggles manfully with archaic bread, mildewed butter, a greasy bale of hay, and two strips of what appear to be something like a gangrenous appendix. At last the ordeal is over. He throws up his head, braces his shoulders back, ignores the mut-terings and grumblings of his outraged stomach and shrieks loudly for his dessert and coffee. He is brought a cup of steaming water stained with iodine and burnt cork, and a dish containing a “pudding.” And such pudding. As he carefully inserts his spoon into the mess, he cannot avoid an involuntary shudder. What an awful rhinitis the cook must have had. Gulping it down with a sense of a disagreeable task nobly performed, our hero, a real hero by this time, slowly gets to his feet, and after paying his way out staggers down the street for a short distance, finally collapsing into the gutter, where he disgorges the garbage he has swallowed. He then disappears weakly into the distance. The last episode or act of this tragedy immediately ensues, when the thrifty proprietor, after watching our student all this while with a Machiavellian expression of satisfaction, dashes out into the street with a scoop and gathers up the above-mentioned garbage, as a nucleus for Tuesday’s special: Vienna Roast Hamburg Stew Baked Meat Roll Hungarian Goulash As a matter of general information and warning to the inquisitive, we append the following, as an abstract from the menus 1170} T. U. M. S. SKULL 19 2 7 THE of the above-mentioned “restaurant,” to-gether with our own opinion, derived from bitter experience: Sirloin Steak—real oak leather. Oysters any style—chiefly in the style of 1880. Clams—stewed or fried—and how! Cream—from contented cans. Butter—butter, butter, wherenell's the butter? Coflee—brewed from the best poison ivy. Meat Balls- two of cm and you bawl too. Bread—the kind Grandmother made, and just as old. Vegetables in season -canned beans. Roast Beef—this is a bum steer. Frankfurts—of the consistency of “new live rubber.” Tapioca pudding—fish-eyes and mucus. Ice cream—of the finest rock-salt flavor. Water—each glass a genuine aquarium. And so forth, and so forth, ad infinitum. H. A. K. M. ill! T. U. M. S. SKULL 19 2 7 THE THE MEDICAL STUDENT’S LIFE HO HUM! Monday morning AGAIN, who have WE got the first HOUR? Oh yes, therapeutics.

ONLY have two classes for SATURDAY, I'll get some SLEEP and then go out to BLOCKLEY. GREAT! Another week finished. I'LL get a date tonight AND sleep all day TOMORROW. 1172] T. U. M. S. THE SKULL 19 2 7 'TWAS EVER THUS THE big dance of the evening was over and the student retired to his fraternity house to study and prepare the work for the next day. Climbing the stairs to the front room he carefully removed his coat and put on his bath-robe. Scanning the many books that reposed on the shelves of his bookcase he took down a book on Therapeutics and another one on Surgery and still another one on Obstetrics. Selecting the one on Therapeutics he opened to a page and started to study; it was absolutely necessary to know this particular chapter, because according to the law of averages he was to be called upon the following morning. Having more or less of a good average in the subject, it was imperative that he answer up on the following day so as not to bring down upon his head the wrath of the professor and incidentally lose his standing. He was in the midst of cardiac stimulants: Digitalis. Squill. Strophanthus, Caffine, etc., etc., when the door of his room opened and in poured a dozen of his classmates, pushing, shoving and laughing. “Come on Charley, let’s go out and finish the evening.” “Nothing doing. I'm going to be called on in the morning and 1 must know all about cardiac stimulants, because that was what he lectured on last week.” “Aw, come on, that’s a lot of canal water, you won't be called on tomorrow, he's got half the class to go through yet; anyhow take a chance.” “No chances, I'm going to study.” Charley turned back to his book and attempted to become interested in the subject before him, but his mind wandered and various questions entered it: “Wonder where they're going?” “Wonder if 1 will be called upon tomorrow?” While still trying to appear engrossed he heard a little above a whisper: Gee, I knew a swell place, not far away either.” Well, what's holding us back let's go. Just a minute, we’ll try Charley again.” (Aloud) “What do you say, Charley, are you with us? “I don't know. I’m half afraid to go along.” Silence reigned supreme, one would think that the room was a morgue. All right. I’ll go along, where are we going?” “It's not far away, and we can have a good time for the rest of the evening.” “Rest of the evening, why it’s 1.30 now. “Well, you know how it is.” The students emerge from the house and engage a passing taxi, and are rapidly taken to a brilliantly lighted cabaret. The taxi discharged its load and they entered the gilded palace. Say, Jack,” said Charley, this must be a new place, I never remember having seen it before.” “Sure it is, this is the opening night and I got tickets for all my friends, I know the manager. “Certainly is a swell joint.” And how.” The place was one solid mass of light of an intensity that rivaled the rays of the sun, only the effect was in harmonizing combina- [173] T. U. M. S. SKULL 19 2 7 THE tions that lent pleasure to the eye. Shad ows, there were none on the floor where the patrons ate and danced, but to the sides and top mystery and dimness was effected by means of giant reflectors. Truly, this had indications of becoming one of the favorite places of pleasure for the idle and otherwise. In spite of the fact that Charley had good intentions of pursuing his study, he warmed to the atmosphere into which he had so unwillingly gone. “How are we going to get dances, now that we are here, Jack? Hold everything, I have that all fixed up; there are girls for all of us, didn’t I tell you that 1 knew the manager? The little darlings will be here in a minute. The table to which they had been con-ducted was placed squarely in the middle of the room and directly opposite the orchestra, the best table in the house. The location gave one the opportunity of seeing everything that went cn and also of noting the charm and splendor of all the opposite sex in the place, a thing that is not unpleas-ing to any eye. Charley was not bashful in getting his share of the pleasure and benefits of the pulchritude that was displayed, in fact he stared so much that one of his companions asked if he had just arrived from the country. A jest of course, for was he not one of the high and mighty seniors, a few months removed from being a full-fledged doctor, with a stethoscope, a thermometer and everything? Being quick with his tongue he replied, No, but it seems like my second time on earth.” The jesting was broken in on by the voice of Jack, who said, Here they come, boys, aren't they pippins? Just step up and take your pick, any one you want; they're .ill beautiful, all single and all love to dance, and they're not very hungry. Charley tcok one look at the parade of beauties that was coming towards the table and muttered to himself, It must be recess in heaven. Recovering from his surprise, he allowed his eyes to travel over the entire group and mentally selected a girl that seemed the very essence of heaven and what goes with it. Rising and bowing very stiffly he proceeded to conduct this thing of grace and charm to the dance flcor. He was a good dancer and in the vernacular “shook a mean hoof, and also he had danced with many girls, but what was it about this one that had him fascinated, captivated, enthralled? Was it the ease with which she followed him in his many gyrations and contortions that was named dancing? Or was it the subtle perfume that emanated from that warm body, now held close to his? Was it her very beauty itself? Impossible to come to a conclusion, he decided that it was the combination of all the factors. Carefully inquiring her name he found it to be Ann. Ann! Ann! why that was the name of the little girl he had left behind when he came in from the country to study medicine. What fond memories the name brought up, strolls in the moonlight, canoe rides on the lake, picnics with the Sunday School, sleigh rides in the winter. However four years is a long time and probably the girl had married by this time, having forgotten all about him. Why shouldn't she? He had written to her for a while after he had come to college, but the letters had got further apart till now he had not heard from her in two years. What a life, what a life, just one thing after another. Maybe some day he would return to the old home town and see the changes that time makes in everything. Or again maybe he would never go back. The time might come that he would be able to roll into town in the grandest motor ever made, who knows? (174 1 T. U. M. S. THE SKULL 19 2 7 But, enough of that; he was here to have a good time and it would be his own fault if he did not get it. What mattered it if he had danced all the previous evening at the fraternity dance? His partner had been a good one and he rather liked her but conv pared to his present one—that's a different matter. Fords are often compared to Pack ards The music was enchanting, bewitching and there was plenty of it, so that over and over again he was whirling through the dancers on the floor, entirely oblivious to them or to his surroundings. Many a good man has fallen hard in a dance-hall and this seemed to be one of the occasions when another good man was on the verge of taking another person to eat at his table. Oh, yes, there is some sort of feeling that is called love at first sight, and Charley was enwrapped in that feeling at the present time. Everything that is started has a finish and the finish of opening night came all too quickly. “Home, Sweet Home, being played by the orchestra, patrons scurrying for their wraps and the desertion of the many tables, reminded Charley that he must know the address of his new find. (That’s the way he thought of it, but of course he didn't find her—Jack did all the fixing.) His question was deftly put, and the answer more than surprised him (it knocked his hat in the creek.) You may see me home if you wait till I get my wrap. Would he wait? Well, there was a saying about waiting till a certain place froze over, that’s the way he felt about it. As she left him to pass down the hall his eye followed her and drank in her every line and curve, the ease with which she walked and her stately bearing. My, oh my, where had she been all his life? Was he really a country bumpkin for all these four years? He was still musing, when a hand touched [175 1 his shoulder and looking around he saw his companion, and what a picture she made. He had seen coats, and coats and still coats but the one she had on was a furrier's masterpiece, every pelt being matched perfectly and with an exactitude that bespoke of skill. She wore no hat and her golden hair blended with the picture she made, the little ringlets on her head reflecting the lights till it seemed to converge into a halo above her. Taxis were waiting outside and he was not long in assisting her into one of a popular color. The address she gave him was near the school and they started on the journey home. Never having been accused of being bashful, Charley carefully stole his arm around her waist; she did not resent it, in fact the way she snuggled to him showed him that she rather liked it. The bliss was short-lived for the cab suddenly came to a stop and the driver opened the door. The house they stood before was a magnificent monument to the building craft, correctly proportioned in every detail. As the cab left, the front door of the house opened and a servant stood ready to receive hats and coats as they passed in. As they entered, somewhere in the back of his mind a thought was born—“Just to think 1 was going to study tonight! Away with such thoughts, this is no time for soliloquy. Ann led him into a spacious parlor, dimly and yet sufficiently lighted, and waved him to the divan that stood in one corner. After he had seated himself, she sat down beside him. There they sat, each waiting for the other to start the conversation, neither being willing to break the silence. He spoke, You certainly are wonderful. Do you think so? I don't think so, I know so. That is a very pretty speech. T. U. 1. S. THE SKULL 19 2 7 Something sensed to him that all was not going well, and he carefully looked at her out of the corner of his eye, everything seemed all right. “What did you mean? he asked. “Just what I said; two years ago you stopped writing to me and you almost broke my heart, because at time I really loved you, but that is dead now. After you stopped writing, 1 decided that I would wait for a few years and then come down here and get my revenge cn you. You know there is nothing like a woman scorned. Let me relate the events of the evening for you: The cabaret you were in you will never find again, because when we left, workmen came and completely tore it down—it was made for the occasion: If you had not selected me from the crowd of girls, I was going to see that you would be my partner for the evening: The boys that brought you to the party were not your friends from school, but clever character actors that 1 had hired: Everything was arranged for your special benefit. Chirley was now thoroughly sobered and thoughtful, and the same thing occurred to him again- he should have had will power and studied. But he ventured to talk to spar for time, not knowing what the nature of the revenge was, that she had spoken about, But, dear— Don't dear me, the time for that is past. But—but—I was very busy with my studies and I had to apply myself most carefully to get good marks in school, and to build a good foundation for my career That's all very well, but you will pardon me if I use a little slang? “Certainly. “Applesauce.” With this she pressed a small button with her foot, and at the same time the middle of the floor opened and disclosed a black space. Do you see that? Yes. He could hardly get the word from his mouth, his tongue seemed to stick to the reef of his mouth. “Well, that’s a dungeon that I had built specially n this house; it is absolutely sound-proof and air-tight, and into that you are going. Charley had nerve, and he determined he would not give up without a struggle, so he attempted to jump from his sitting position, but he couldn't move—two stab wart grooms laid their heavy hands on him at that instant. He struggled and writhed but it was of no avail, he was pushed slowly but surely to the brink of the dungeon. Now he was on the edge, one more push, down, down, down—is there no bottom? He struck the bottom, and at the same time something struck with him—he picked himself up and a dazzling light shone in his eyes. This did not seem like a dungeon to him, it was a big room, well lighted and with a bed and plenty of furniture placed around. Of course it was not a dungeon, there lay the Therapeutics, the Surgery and the Obstetrics at his feet—he had fallen from his chair in his own room at the fraternity house. Aesop said about 2C00 years ago, You can't study much after midnight, do all your work early in the evening. J. E. B., Jr. I176J T. U. M. S.

U. M. S. 19 2 7 THE 5KULL: RECOLLECTIONS TT HAS not been so long since our probie A days, that we cannot recall many of the instances that occurred during them, or during our other days either. Of course, it took us some time to become acquainted but after the first impressions had worn away, we got along nicely together. If it were not for the many little happen' mgs that occurred life would not have been worth living, but the constant appearance of unexpected events kept our hearts light and our steps brisk. For instance: it is a well known fact that the weather is almost unbearable in the summer time and espe' cially in the exceptionally warm operating rooms well, it used to be quite a lark to take the bed-coverings and climb out onto the roof and there pass a night in joyful slumber, fanned gently by the breezes, that can be obtained only by altitude. How one would have to scamper, in the middle of the night, when an unexpected shower would come. Many times Morpheus held us too tightly and the thoroughly soaked sheets were the only means of releasing his embrace. How many are there that do not remember the parties held after one of the crowd had just received a box” from home, or had got a letter, containing the wherewithal to pur chase many goodies? Those were the days. The days that will live forever in the minds of all of us, no matter how long our sojourn on earth. Remember the scary girls and what fun it used to be to rise in the small hours and place a sheet or other covering over the head and go and stand beside their beds, and touch them, awakening them and giving them the scare of their lives? Can't you recall the screams that resounded through the halls on several occasions? The solemn whisperings that the home was haunted? Ofttimes, it occurred that when one was ready for bed and attempted to slide into the beckoning covers, the selfsame covers could not be made to move. Safety-pins certainly can hold just when they are not wanted to. Can you ever forget the tangles that the French-sheet got one into? The necessity of making the entire bed over? Forget them if you can. The first night on night-duty was enough to make any girl give up training and go scampering back to the good old Home Sweet Home. The lights were put out, nothing left burning but the little lamps on the chart tables. Quiet, more quiet, disturbed only by the regular breathing of the sleeping patients. How one's ears become acute in the wee hours. Every foreign sound could be picked out, but could not always be classified. Gloom was deep at the ends of the halls and every place, except at the tables. What was that? A long period of staring out into the thick darkness that enveloped everything. A flicker of the eye? Well—maybe. The impulse to get away was great, but staunch hearts overcame that impulse. A good thing, the night supervisor was making rounds to see that all was going well. Was a great laid lifted from our hearts? That's putting it mildly. Last but not least, there came a time when we discovered that we were putting on excessive adipose tissue. Early hours, good food and regular habits certainly do change one's contour. However, be that as it may, we had the excess tissue. How could we get rid of it? How keep at our original weight7 Was it a question of diet? Was it 1179} T. U. M. S. SKULL 19 2 7 THE decreased exercise? These were some of the questions that ran in our minds. After figuring all the ways and means, it was decided by one and all that the proper thing to do was to exercise. Many different types were thought up, but they could only be practised in the bedrooms just before retir-ing. What a tangle in the various rooms, two girls trying to do setting-up exercises. Success came to a few, to others the task was too much and the various motions were soon abandoned. Many kept on with them, but the results were far from what was expected. Anyway, one does not have to be a perfect thirty-six to be a good nurse. These are the things we look back upon and delight in recounting, because those things that require effort and will are the things that are best liked by everyone. No doubt, many of the things told are sort of heritage from one class to another, but some of them may be new, and they are things that are done when a group is brought together no matter for what purpose. We did not play more than the preceding classes nor more than the succeeding ones will play, and in this we hope for a justification of the pranks that we perpetrated. 1180] T. U. M. S.

In other words, any form of milk is better borne, is more completely utilized and its nutritive elements are more appropriately balanced if properly modified with Mellin’s Food.
