It has been fondled and cared for the same as a loving mother would fondle and care for her own offspring in the hope that it should grow to manhood and be worthy of her efforts. And now it has fully grown and is ready to fight its own battles. It represents our efforts in trying, to last' ingly commemorate our undergraduate activities, our associations with the University and the achievements of the institution, both past and present. Within these pages we bring before you our four years, we subject everything we have done, all our pleasures, all our tribulations, our pride and even our very selves to the very closest scrutiny. We have tried to be honest and yet we admit that there is much which because of space, we have omitted. And so we send the Twenty-nine Skull out into the world to make new friends for Temple and to perpetuate the names of our most able and learned teachers to whom we are most deeply indebted for paternal interest and sincere efforts during our undergraduate days. We have tried hard -we hope you will like it. W. Waysi. Babcock, M.D. HI HE publication of this book presages a notable event to a class of medical students. For years to come its anniversary will be remembered as the year of entrance into a profession considered by many the noblest of vocations. Last May, the three hundredth anniversary of the publication of a medical book was celebrated in London by elaborate ceremonials in which King and Prince, the Royal College of Physicians and the Municipality joined. It was a book which established a medical truth, and although derided and attacked at the time of publication, for twenty-one years the author made no reply, content in the confidence that truth would prevail. HARVEY'S DE MOTU CORDIS lives on through the centuries a symbol of that ceaseless search for truth which has characterized the medical profession. In the professions, success is measured by what is done for others by service rendered, rather than as in business, by what is acquired for one's self—by profits received. Medicine is a dauntless, courageous profession. Its members march unarmed and unprotected with the first line tr x ps in battle—they endure the hardships and guard the lives of explorers who brave tropical infection and polar colds. In pestilence and deadly catastrophe the doctor is the first to respond and the last to leave. He suffers infection in the laboratory and in the field, inoculates himself with loathsome disease, experiments with anesthetics upon his own body; not for personal benefit, but that truth may set others free. Grant me the epitaph “He loved the truth and always sought it — asked the outstanding surgeon of our country, as the greatest tribute that could be paid him. May this book serve its class as a permanent reminder of the fine, age-old obligations of medical practice and of that ever constant aim of the profession— the never-ending search for truth. Sincerely, Seven irinie physician “The physician should he of tender disposition, of wise and gentle nature, and more especially an acute observer, capable of benefiting every one by accurate diagnosis, that is to say, by rapid deduction of the unknown from the known. And no physician can be of tender dispose tion if he fails to recognize the nobility of man; nor of philosophical nature unless he be strengthened by God's guidance, and he who is not an accurate observer will not arrive at a correct understanding of the cause of any ailment. Eight IDIC„ W, WaVTNC IDaVDCCCD 1LLIAM WAYNE BABCOCK was horn in East Worcester, New York, June 10, 1872, both parents tracing their ancestors back to Connecticut in 1642. Graduating from the Birmingham High School at seventeen, for two years he studied medicine and Greek in the office of a preceptor, preparatory to attending the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Baltimore, Maryland. At this time an aversion to doing a post mortem was very great, dead cats and dogs had been one matter, but the human body was another. Not until he had accepted his own mental willingness to have his own body dissected, could he proceed with any degree of comfort in the laboratory. He completed the course with honors and studied at Harvard Summer School; beconv ing Resident Physician at St. Mark's Hospital, Salt Lake City, the following September. After a year's experience at St. Mark's, he returned east to enter the Class of '95 at the University of Pennsylvania. The next seven years were crowded with serious work. He became Resident Physician at the Philadelphia Polyclinic Hospital, assisting among others Doctors B. F. Baer, J. M. Baldy, and T. G. Morton; for two years he was House Surgeon at the Kensington Hospital for women under Dr. C. P. Noble. Following this period, he was Demonstrator and Lecturer in Pathology and Bacteriology at the Medico-Chirurgical College; Curator to the Pathological Society; Assistant Pathologist to the Philadelphia Hospital; and Pathologist to the Kensington Hospital for Women. He was assistant Editor to Bordman Reed of the International Medical Magazine; co-author with Dr. Joseph McFarland, Volume 5 of Cohen’s System of Physiologic Thera' peutics, and he incidentally wrote a prize essay on Preventive Medicine, winning a most acceptable $1,000. In short, from twenty to thirty, when the average medical student is waiting for opportunity and patients, no position was too small, no amount of work was too great for Dr. Babcock to accept. In 190. , Dr. Conwell opened the door of opportunity to a young doctor, who had been persistently preparing, by offering him the Chair of Surgery and Clinical Surgery of Temple College. A trip abroad in 1904, showed him the possibilities of spinal anesthesia and that year he introduced it at the Samaritan Hospital. The rest of the story most of you know; the results of his researches through the years are yours to adopt, and the fruits of his experience are shared with you in the Text Book recently published. In 1917, after a vain effort to have accepted a Samaritan Hospital Unit, Dr. Bab' cock asked for a leave of absence and entered the service at Camp Greenleat as Captain in the M. R. C. He became Regimental Surgeon of the 318th Field Artillery, Camp Jackson, then for two years was Chief of the Surgical Service of General Hospital No. 6, Fort McPherson, Georgia, being commissioned Lieutenant-Colonel in 1918. Dr. Babcock is married and has four children. He is interested in traveling, big game hunting, firearms and books. He is an inveterate reader, always seeking information. His book plate bears the last words of Goethe Light, More Light, which sums up perhaps as well as any three words could the driving force and character of this Beloved and Master Surgeon. j m c APPRECIATIONS OE ID IP.. W„ WAYNE DaVOCCCD DR. V. WAYNE BABCOCK has the divine gift of an inquiring mind. Most of us are content to follow established precedents, viewing life from the pragmatic point of view, the idea being that if it works, it is right. But now and then a man is born who in his keen search for the truth is willing to hazard his personal comfort, to take time from his hours of ease and rest, for the sake of research and investigation, and to meet with tolerance the intolerance of others who, disturbed by the new, uncon' sciously tend to defy the old. Nearly thirty years ago, Jonnesco, the great Roumanian surgeon, visited the United States. At that time he had just begun the use of spinal anesthesia with cocaine. This work aroused general interest, but unfortunate results prevented its becoming established. I remember well walking with the late Dr. John B. Murphy along the streets of Philadelphia some time after Jonnesco's visit, and saying to him, “Wayne Babcock is operating tomorrow. He is doing something with spinal anes-thesia and is increasing the use of local anesthesia. I am interested; let's go over to see him. Dr. Murphy said, “I have heard something of Dr. Babcock. There seems to be a good deal of criticism. He then made a remark of which I have thought many times: “I have noticed that when a man arouses much criticism, it is for one of two reasons: either that he is so good, or so bad.” After we had seen Dr. Babcock in his clinic we both expressed the opinion that whatever the criticism Dr. Babcock might have aroused, it was because he was so good. It is a pleasure to see a man who maintains the youthful viewpoint, who instead of becoming crystallized as he grows in years, still possesses the inquiring mind, and adds wisdom to his intellectual stature. I am glad to join with you in your appreciation of Dr. Babcock, and to have the privilege of congratulating him on his many years of service to the medical profession, and particularly on his continued interest in and many contributions to the advance of surgery. irO dedicate the Year Book of the Medical Schcxd of Temple University to Dr. W. II Wayne Bal cock is a gracious tribute from the Class of 1929 to a beloved teacher. I know of no one to whom such a tribute could more fittingly be extended. It has been my privilege to know Dr. Babcock for many years. His gracious personality and genial friendliness have made it always a pleasure to meet him whenever medical meetings or other occasions have made such meetings possible. Dr. Babcock is known to most of his colleagues as an especially skillful surgeon but on large numbers of younger men he has made even a greater impression as a teacher. Among Dr. Balxock's contributions to the science of surgery one of the most outstanding has been his part in the establishment of spinal anesthesia as an anesthetic method of choice in certain operations. In the early stages of the develop' ment of this method, Dr. Babcock st x d practically alone. To the surgeon, to the teacher, to the friend, I esteem it a privilege to present my tribute. Ten DR. BABCOCK enjoys an enviable reputation as a surgeon, teacher and author To attain and maintain this desirable status in a community demands not only the training and knowledge acquired in the classroom, at the bedside, in the operating room, and in the quiet seclusion of the study. It demands also untiring devotion to the claims of his calling, self-possession, calm and the magical influence of an alert and cheerful presence that inspire the confidence of his patients, unfailing contagious enthusiasm that attracts and holds the attention oi his students; exact knowledge gained by keen insight and observation, presented in a clear, concise style that gains the approval and admiration of his professional colleagues. All these Doctor Babcock has been fortunate in making his own. But more desirable and enviable are the qualities of heart the uprightness and kindliness that class him as a valued citizen and a rare and trusted friend. 1 deem it a privilege to have the opportunity of giving expression, inadequate though it may be, of the admiration and esteem in which I hold him, and to be able to subscribe mvcclf as Wayne Babcock's Iriend. ■ T gives me great pleasure to learn that you are dedicating this year’s Medical Year •i Book to Dr. W. Wayne Babcock, your Professor of Surgery. I am especially glad that you arc recognizing him and his work while he is still teaching, as appreciation of one's work is one of the greatest pleasures a true scientist can have. I have always esteemed Dr. Babcock and his excellent work in surgery. He has been a human dynamo of energy in developing innovations in anesthesia and surgery, and sometimes these innovations have been so far in advance of developments in surgery that he has been compelled to defend them. He has the pleasure of seeing most of them in general use today. Very truly yours. I AM pleased and greatly interested to hear that the forthcoming year book is to be dedicated to your Professor and devoted friend W. Wayne Babcock. Doctor Babcock, whom I have known for many years, is worthy of every tribute that can be paid to him as one who is easily a great leader in his specialty, known all over the world wherever first class surgery is done. I have noticed with particular pleasure how in recent years his reputation has been going up by leaps and bounds. In his work, he is a man of remarkable versatility, compassing with a perfect technique the whole wide range of general surgery and in numerous points expanding the field by invaluable, original additions of his own devising. My only regret is that I do not live nearer that I might profit oftencr by his “viva voce” teachings. May he be spared to us yet for many long and fruitful years!

Coxsoti Circulation Thirteen New Medical School TIHIE MEDICAL SCHCOL IN DIET IRCS IP ECT ELDOM do wc find, even in the realms of romance, a more entrancing story than that which tells of Temple University. So well known, however, has this story become that we need but recall its barest outline, as a fit background for this brief sketch of the Medical School. That will always be a historic day—or rather, night, when, in December 1884, that little group of young men seeking help to a higher education, found a sympathetic friend and teacher in the pastor of Grace Baptist Church, then located at Berks and Mervine Streets, Philadelphia. Likewise was it a day of historic import, when, only four years later, with these seven parlor students and their teacher, grown to a night school of nearly six hundred, a charter was obtained, and Temple College came into official existence. And again was the date historic, when in 1891, to the rapidly growing night school, a day department was added, and the great future possibilities of this new kind of educational institution began to dawn on the city of Philadelphia, as they had long dominated the dreams of the far-visioned Founder. It was now possible for President Conwell to carry out his cherished ideal of “democratic higher education by being able to provide classes at any hour, day or evening, for which a sufficient number of students applied, and in any subject for which there was a real demand. “Find out what the people need, and supply it, became quite as much the key to success in this unique new college, as its versatile founder had often proclaimed it to be in the affairs of life generally. Demands upon the new College were now multiplying rapidly, and from all sides. This sketch, however, can only very briefly note expansions in the direction of the professional schools. In 1895 a Theological Department was opened, and in 1895, a Law School, both of which have since grown to enviable place and reputation among institutions of their kind throughout the country. In 1901 a fully organized School of Pharmacy was established. In 1904, came a school of Civil Engineering, and three years later one of the oldest and best Dental Colleges in the country, joined heart and hand with the new and popular institution. The year 1901 achieved additional historic renown for having given birth to :hat member of the University family in which The Skull is particularly interested. It has been suggested that this was one of Temples “coming out parties where “Time's noblest offspring is the last might have been modestly modified into “Temple's Medical Offspring is the Noblest! At any rate the Medical Department of the new University had its origin in 1901. Quoting the school's first Dean, the late Dr. I. Newton Snivcly: “The Medical Department of Temple University, like all 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 from other departments, for a course so arranged that they could earn a living and college expenses, and at the same time secure a medical education. Sixteen “In the spring of 1901, the Board of Trustees decided to open an evening medical school. A faculty of twenty teachers, professors, lecturers, demonstrators, and instruC' tors—was assembled, and a circular sent out, announcing that a course consisting of five years' evening instruction would be given by Temple College. The curriculum for this five years night course was so arranged that the same number of hours would be devoted to it, as in the day schools. “There were 31 students matriculated in this new night school for the year 1901'02. It was found that the students who applied for evening instruction, were willing to make any personal sacrifice to acquire a medical education. They therefore gave themselves most diligently to the work, and the high standards attained by these early graduates before the various State Boards has been pre-eminently satisfactory, and a matter of justifiable pride to the institution. The first graduating class consisted of two men who had been admitted to advance standing, and were given diplomas in 1904. Two more graduates went forth in the class of 1905. Of these first four heroic pioneers, but one is now living. Dr. Ferdinand H. Dammasch, an eminently success-ful, and highly respected physician of Portland, Ore. There were fourteen in the third graduating class, two of whom Sara Allen, and Mary E. Shepherd—were the school's first female graduates. The next year, 1907, Temple College was legally promoted to “Temple University. In this same year, the six year old “moonlight medical department began to change into a day school. A four years' day course of nine months each was established, and the work of the junior and senior years was thereafter required to be done in the day time, until gradually the night courses were entirely discontinued. It was in the year 1907 also, that the Philadelphia Dental College, and the Gar-retson Hospital became affiliated with the new University, and the commodious dental building, now renamed Medical Hall became the home of the School of Medicine, which, up to this time had conducted its work the best it could in lofts and basements and what spare rooms could be found in the old dwellings that housed the beginning of the Samaritan Hospital. The acquisition of these buildings at 18th and Button wood Streets marked the second milestone on the school's historic highway, and its first real expansion in the direction of assured success, supplying as it did, the executive offices, amphitheatres, lecture room, laboratories, library, etc., so necessary to continued growth and larger work. The Garretson Hospital, and recent additions to the Samaritan, also provided a very desirable, if not absolutely necessary increase in the facilities for clinical and bed-side teaching. By the next year, 1908-09, the school had an enrollment of 232 students, and the teaching staff had grown from the original 20 to 80. It began to be known that Philadelphia had a new medical school. Not all the serious problems had yet been solved, however, nor all the future pathway charted, but that the school was indeed to have a future, seemed now to have become at least a “promising probability. Twenty years of that future have since been safely recorded on the pages of “Temple's history1. Seventeen In these years the ever-broadening field of medicine has necessitated many changes and additions in equipment, in curriculum and personnel. The faculty of eighty teachers was almost doubled in number, and has “grown with its growth, and strengthened with its strength. The annually lengthening roll of graduates has now reached more than six hundred, and the number of disappointed applicants turned away in a single year is larger than the sum-total of graduates turned out in the whole history of the school. But these few facts and figures fall far short of telling the story of the past twenty years. There have been achievements more signal and significant than anything that can be measured by dates and years, and mounting numbers. It is no part of this brief sketch to attempt to define “that subtle something that spells success. Suffice it to say that in this eventful double decade the ebb and flow of the tide of “Temple's” fortunes have finally brought to culmination the third great step in the history of her medical school. When on June 14, 1928, a class of fifty-one graduates bore forth their Alma Mater's banner, for the first time in its history, “now full high .advanced to equal rank with the greatest schools of the land, a prophetic Founder's dream had come true, and a courageous new President's ambition had begun to be realized. Thus is the story of yesterday, merged into the glory of today, but “into today already walks tomorrow, and on Temple’s “broadening horizons there looms even now the towering new Medical College that will mark a still more glorious epoch in the school's history, the story of which, in some future day, some other Skull must swell with the pride of its telling. Eighteen SAMAR ITAN TICSRITAL €f TEMPLE UNIVERSITY J. O. Arnold M. D., F. A. C. S. J| UST as the School of Medicine has come to he a most outstanding unit of Temple r University, so has the Samaritan Hospital long been a large part of the School of Medicine. Needless to say that as the institution prepares to meet the challenge to higher standards and greater achievements, this relationship of school and hospital must necessarily become more and more intimate—in body as well as in spirit, until ultimately there shall be one great combining structure, as there is now one great increasing purpose. But the province of this page is to review the past rather than to reveal the future. So far as wc can find a definite starting point, that which later became the Samaritan Hospital, had its inception in a little group of physicians calling themselves the North Philadelphia Medical Society, who, in 1889-90, rented an old building (since destroyed) at 3- 20 North Broad Street, fitted it up with a dispensary, a few beds, and a nurse or two, and called it the North Philadelphia Hospital. Inside of a year this undertaking had failed for want of financial support. In the latter part of 1891 an appeal was made to the popular church and college organizer, Russell H. Conwell, to reorganize this little hospital and to take charge of its management. This he did, and in a few months moved it to a brick dwelling, the second house north of Ontario Street, on the east side of Broad Street. This building was purchased January 18th, 1892, and twelve days later was appropriately dedicated and formally opened as the Samaritan Hospital, and placed in charge of an entirely new medical statf. In 1893 the state granted a charter to this new hospital. Like Dr. ConwelPs undertakings generally, this one was immediately popular and successful. The rapidly increasing demand for bods made enlargements necessary almost from the start. A rear annex, and other building modifications were made in 1896, increasing the bed capacity from twenty to forty-three, and two years later, a further expansion took in the twin dwelling at the corner of Ontario Street. In 1901 the chief men on the staff were Dr. Frank Haehnlen on obstetrics and gynecology; Drs. Samuel Wolfe, James M. Anders, and Howard S. Anders on medicine: Drs. Ernest La Place, H. C. Deaver, John A. Boger, and Levi J. Hammond, on surgery: and Dr. G. Oram Ring on ophthalmology. The first state aid for building purposes was granted in 1901, and one story of the central administration building, and a three story north wing were completed in 1903. Aho t this time the staff was aga'n r.organized owing to the recent affiliation f the l.c.p tai v.itl: Temple's new medical school. Samaritan Hospital Dr. I. Newton Snively, (medical dean) and Drs. Wolfe, and Boardman Reed, were now chief physicians; Dr. Edmund Holmes, surgeon; Dr. J. W. Croskey, Ophthalmologist; and Dr. W. Wayne Babcock, obstetrician and gynecologist. Later in the same year, 190?, Dr. Holmes resigned, and Dr. Babcock was made surgeon-in' chief, and Dr. J. C. Applegate was called to the chair of obstetrics in the medical school, and to be chief obstetrician to the hospital. A little later Dr. Wilmcr Krusen was made gynecologist, and Dr. Albert Robin, pathologist. In 1905 an additional appropriation of fifty thousand dollars for building pur-poses was granted by the state, and various necessary buildings, including a two story south wing, were erected, increasing the total number of beds to 110, and providing a suitable basement for much needed dispensary enlargements. In the next ten years, two more floors, including the Roof Garden for children, were added to the south wing, and ten years later, June 18th, 1925, the great new “Main Building was formally opened, bringing the total capacity of the hospital up to 23 5 beds. This handsome new Broad Street structure also provided a number of other necessary features, such as new kitchen and dining rooms, record rooms, class rooms, amphitheater, and suite of operating rooms. Since the opening of this Main Building there have been added by the completion of the fourth floor, and the building of two new medical wards, 58 beds (The Roose-velt Hospital addition), which with the 37 infants beds in the nurseries, makes the present capacity of the hospital 330 beds. Thus, in briefest outline, runs the record of the past thirty'Seven years. More recently there have been such changes in the plans and policies and general spirit of the institution, as will undoubtedly further its administrative efficiency, its medical teaching capacity, and its higher service to suffering humanity. A comprehensive system of undergraduate “clinical clerkships now supplements the work of the twelve internes. And the period of interneship has been lengthened to two years, with a full-time, experienced Chief Resident Physician to direct and correlate and supervise this important service. But still more significant, perhaps, than any other recent advancement, is the establishment of a Medical Directorship, and the calling, on Feb. 1, 1929, of Dr. William N. Parkinson to be the first occupant of this new office. Dr. Parkinson is a Temple Medical alumnus, class of 1911; also received the degree of Master of Science in Surgery from the University of Pennsylvania in 1923. He was formerly Associate Dean of the Medical School with Dr. Hammond, and in recent years has been Chief Surgeon to the Eastern Coast Railroad and Hospital, St. Augustine, Florida. He now comes back to the Samaritan service with a keenness of interest, and a breadth of experience that bespeak for him the confidence of his associates, and assured success in his efforts toward the further development of a great institution. Verily, “Samaritan Hospital prepares to take its place in the vanguard of modern medical education, as it has long held front rank in its ministrations to the sick and afflicted. T u-entyonc Lobby of tub Samaritan Hospital G IE IE aVT IE IEAIET MAT IE IE NUTT W HE late Dr. John C. Applegate, Professor of Obstetrics in School of Medicine, ™ Temple University, always held that Senior students should have an opportunity to attend a certain number of maternity patients in their homes. He was ever in accord with, and an ardent advocate of the “Out Door Service. This service, he believed, afforded the students an opportunity to gain insight into the practical phase of Obstetrics that could not be acquired elsewhere. His assumption has been abundantly confirmed by the excellent service rendered by the students, by the industry and enthusiasm they have displayed in the work and by the gratitude, freely expressed of the patients whom they attended. Each student is now required to attend twelve maternity patients in the Obstetric service. This alone means that the Department of Obstetrics must provide more than six hundred full term maternity patients during the course of each college year. The Samaritan Hospital, it was found, could not adequately meet this need and accordingly it became necessary to provide other facilities. To meet the growing demand, the Greatheart Maternity Hospital was established at 1810 and 1812 Spring Garden Street, a neighborhood selected with the belief that it would provide the necessary clinical material. The Hospital now known as the Garretson-Greatheart Hospital opened its doors to the public on April 27, 192S. The response of the neighborhood people to the project has more than justified its existence, for during its six years of service the students with the aid of district or student supervisors have attended more than 4000 women in confinement. Even though working in many instances under the most unfavorable circumstances, the results with respect to morbidity and mortality compare most favorably with private obstetric practice in general. Each patient receives zealous pre-natal supervision and as a result convulsive toxemia has been a rarety and there has not occurred a single instance of infection that one could attribute to inadequate or improper care on the part of the students in attendance. Recently the building was somewhat remodeled and an elevator installed. To meet the growing needs of the hospital, a pre-natal clinic with modern equipment has also been established. These pre-natal clinics are held regularly each week day at one o'clock. 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 the expectant mother. She is also urged to return for Post-natal examination and to have the baby examined to see if it is developing as a normal child should. Nurses arc also assigned from this dispensary to visit and care for patients in their homes. TIE IE Jl IE WHS IE HOSPITAL “IT'HE Jewish Hospital was founded September 23rd, 1865, in a small building on II Westminster Avenue at Haverford Road and Fisher's Avenue, now 56th Street in West Philadelphia. It was soon realized that the quarters were inadequate to meet the needs of the service it offered. So a tract of 23 acres was acquired at York and Tabor Roads in North Philadelphia. The first building was erected and dedicated during the year of 1873. Above the entrance of what is today the Men's Surgical Ward, the following is inscribed: Twenty-three This Hospital was erected by the voluntary contributions of the Israelites of Philadelphia and is dedicated to the relief of the sick and wounded without regard to creed, color, or nationality under the management of a Board of Members of the Jewish Hospital Association. And so it is—those that seek relief from suifering are admitted without regard to creed, color, or nationality under the management of a Board of Members. The Hospital has a bed capacity of 426 beds with a resident staff of 9 and a Chief Resident. It has 115 student nurses, 55 supervisors, one Chief Nurse and an Assistant, and an Educational Director and an Assistant. Its d x rs were thrown open to the Medical Students of Temple University during the year of 1928 through the kindness of the Board of Members. Six hours a week are spent in Ward Walks under the supervision and guidance of Dr. Joseph C. Doane, formerly Superintendent of the Philadelphia General Hospital but now Medical Director of the Jewish Hospital. We are deeply indebted to the authorities who have granted us the privilege of its wealth of clinical material. MILNidIPaVIL LLSIPIITaVIL Philadelphia Hospital for Contagious Diseases. Il—JAVING been seen by most of us only on two short visits, Municipal is less IB I intimately known to us and is accordingly granted more space than are those other houses of mercy which were our daily workshops. Beginning as the Pest House at 9th and Spruce in 1726 and then disappearing only to reappear again in time of need, at some place more remote from the daily haunts of Philadelphians, the hospital in 1865, found a home at 22nd and Lehigh, crude to be sure, but serving its purpose until 1909. This was the year of completion of the present group of thirty-one separate buildings built at a cost of about two million dollars and embodying the last word in hospital construction. The year previous our friend Dr. Samuel S. Woody took up his duties as Medical Director and Superintendent which he has discharged with so much credit to the hospital and himself ever since. The distant situation was chosen because, as Dr. Woody says, with everyone holding the misconception that infectious diseases were disseminated through the air it was thought that no more isolated spot could be found than this which was, and is, bounded by farm land, a brick yard, and two cemeteries, now we know that the institution could stand at Broad and Chestnut Streets with perfect safety to the community. Equipped to take care of 1150 cases in case of an epidemic and regularly treating 5000 patients a year Municipal is the largest hospital for contagious diseases in the Western Hemisphere and probably has more acute cases than any other such hospital in the world. Since 1909, 85,000 patients have been cared for under her roofs most of whom have been suffering from scarlet and “diphtheria. Every case must be brought in the hospital ambulances, a requirement of the law. The routine procedures in cases of laryngeal diphtheria illustrates the efficiency of hospital administration; the special diphtheria ambulance answers the call on the minute accompanied by a doctor prepared to do an intubation at home if necessary; three doctors sleep in the diphtheria ward wing and arc always on deck and ready to answer from the laryngeal ward on the run. Since 1900 the w'ards have been open for the clinical instruction of medical students of all the medical scluxils in Philadelphia, in which time between seven and eight thousand students have used the privilege. Since 1907 Dr. Woody has done T wenty-four the instructing personally. He has carefully checked up all cases of infectious diseases occurring in medical students and has found that only five out of nearly 7000 caught “theirs” on their visit to the hospital. The time may come when the medical profession will know the exanthemata as well as the experts at “Muni” and when the public will lx competent to care for the victims as the city is now doing, but until that day we're glad to have a “farm” at Second and Luzerne. TIHIE PHILADELPHIA GENERAL HOSPITAL By George Wilson, M.D., Philadelphia 1|-HE Philadelphia General Hospital has been situated at its present location since IB 1834, the old buildings of which few remain were built between 1830 and 1834. The Philadelphia Almshouse was first located at Third and Pine Streets and was commonly spoken of as “The Green Meadows” according to Agnew, “Green Meadows” was the oldest hospital in the country, having been founded in 1731. In 1767 the institution was moved to Tenth and Pine Streets and was called the “Bettering House.” The Legislature in March, 1828, authorized the purchase of a site and the erection of buildings suitable for a hospital, an almshouse, the children's house, and other departments. The site was located in Blocklcy township, and from the township the hospital has derived a name, which, while not official, has nevertheless clung to it persistently. There are some who feel that the name of Blocklcy should be abolished entirely, but most of those who have served as Internes and as members of the staff still prefer that old name. Dr. Gerhard, whose careful investigations established the distinction between typhus and typhoid fever, suggested to the board of guardians that the name Philadelphia Hospital” be adopted for that department of the almshouse which was concerned with the care of the sick and from that time until 1902 The Philadelphia Hospital” was the official name. In that year the three main divisions of the institution were called “The Philadelphia Home and Hospital for the Indigent,” which sheltered the paupers; the insane department was called The Philadelphia Hospital for the Insane” and the hospital proper was known as “The Philadelphia General Hospital. The original plot of land bought by the city in 1828 consisted of 187 acres and 60 perches which has dwindled to 20 acres. In 1906 a tract of land containing 874 acres was purchased by the city in Bybcrry and on that tract modern buildings have been erected for the care of the insane, feebleminded and tuberculous. Many of the old buildings of the Philadelphia Hospital have been demolished but the new structures which have been completed have entirely replaced them, only a few of the old buildings remaining. Over two thousand sick people make up the census of the Philadelphia Hospital and no patient unless he is suffering from acute contagious disease is ever denied admission. The sufferers from contagious diseases are sent to a separate department of the Hospital system located at Second and Luzerne. The resident staff of the hospital number fifty-five and the visiting staff over two hundred. Three hundred nurses and six hundred orderlies in attendance help to carry on the hospital’s work. As a hospital in which to spend one’s internship The Philadelphia General Hospital cannot be surpassed; the wealth of material in every line and the great amount of teaching which goes on within its walls assure the interne that the important post-graduate work which lie receives will equip him for the practice of medicine. Twenlyfive Eagleville Sanatorium THE EAGLEVILLE SANATORIUM Eagleville Sanatorium was founded in 1909 by Dr. A. J. Cohen and his II associates. The site on which it is located comprises 76 acres, consisting of a modern hospital, a convalescent building, a children's pavilion, ten cottages for recu-perating patients, a nurses' training school with a nurses' home, as well as administration building, dining halls, power plants, etc. In Philadelphia in 1919 was organized the Eagleville Dispensary, located in its new building at Broad and Fitzwater Streets today, where patients are examined, studied, and classified and guided until their admission into the Sanatorium. Here, in addition, periodic examination and follow-up work is done on patients discharged from the Sanatorium. The Sanatorium today is one of the most modern and finest equipped in the country for the treatment of diseases of the chest. Everything is handled there, from the convalescing tuberculous patient to the one developing an acute surgical complication necessitating a major operation. It is probably best known for its work in the surgical treatment of tuberculosis. It was among the first in this country to test the efficacy of artificial pneumothorax and today this treatment is accepted the world over. In addition, when indicated, chest surgery is employed and the results from these treatments have proven their soundness. During the junior year Dr. Cohen gives a course of lectures on diseases of the chest and during the senior year the students are given the opportunity, in sections at the Sanatorium, to see for themselves the management and the Sanatorium treatment of tuberculosis.

While snoozing in his office This vision came to view He saw an Angel enter. Dressed in garments white and new. Said the Angel. I'm from Heaven. The Lord just sent me down To bring you up to Glory And put on your golden crown. You’ve been a friend to everyone, You've worked hard night and day; You have doctored many thousands And from few received your pay. So we want you up in Glory. For you have labored hard.

S. Weir Mitchell has said, “For me, patients are individuals and there is nothing in their lives, ways, habits or character which in illness is unimportant to know.” “It is quite as important to know the kind of a patient the disease has, as the sort of disease the patient has.”—Moxon. “It does not become a man of science to doubt the possibility of anything.”—Lord Robin. “It is not a question of how much we are to do, but of how it is to be done; it is not a question of doing more, but of doing better. Rus in. “Those diseases which medicine does not cure, the knife cures. Those which the knife cannot cure fire cures; and those which fire cannot cure, arc to be reckoned wholly incurable.”—Hippocrates. In 1781, Anne Birch was delivered of ten children. Gillez, who was made constable of France, and who accompanied St. Louis ro Palestine, was one of eleven children born simultaneously. Delirium attended by laughter is much less dangerous than delirium attended by a serious mood.—Hippocrates. Case occurred in the beginning of the nineteenth century, in which a young Italian woman, illegitimately pregnant at full term, opened her own abdomen on the left side with a common knife such as is generally used in the kitchen. She opened the uterus in the same direction, and endeavored to extract the fetus. To expedite the extraction, she drew out an arm and amputated it, and finding the extraction still difficult she cut off the head and completely emptied the womb, including the placenta. She bound a tight bandage around her body and hid the fetus in a straw mattress. She then dressed herself and attended to her domestic duties. She afterwards mounted a cart and went into the city of Viterbo, where she showed her sister a cloth bathed in blood as pr x f that she was menstruating and not pregnant. On returning home having walked five hours, she was seized with an attack of vomiting and fainted. The parents called Dr. Boliva who related the case. Thirteen hours had elapsed from the infliction of the wound, through which the bulk of the intestines had been protruding for the past six hours. The abdomen was irrigated, the toilet made and after the eighteenth day the process of healing was well progressed, and the woman made a recovery after her plucky efforts to hide her shame.

M.D., Associate in Materia Mcdica Sixty THE DEPARTMENT ©E ©DSTETRICS IN THE year 1905 the Department of Obstetrics was separated from that of Gynecology in the new Medical School and its recently affiliated Samaritan Hospital, and Dr. John Chew Applegate became the first Professor of Obstetrics, which position he continued to hold until his death, December 20, 1926. Dr. J. O. Arnold, for many years Clinical Professor of Obstetrics, and who was advanced to the Professorship upon the death of Dr. Applegate, came to the school in September, 1904. At this time the Samaritan Hospital had five beds available for maternity patients, and the total number of cases cared for in the entire year was less than the number often taken care of now in a single month. In the past twelve months (1928), there were 904 obstetric patients attended in the Samaritan Hospital, and 459 cared for at the Greatheart Maternity a total of 1,545, not including babies. It is significant that this large number of cases annually passing through these two institutions is practically all, cither directly or indirectly available for undergraduate and graduate instruction in the art and science of obstetrics. The radically changed medical curriculum, and greatly improved modern methods of teaching obstetrics arc such that even the private room patients become a valuable addition to the teaching material supplied by the wards and dispensaries. Though these private patients themselves may not be shown, the “courtesy system” puts at the disposal of the teaching staff, the carefully kept case records and charts and clinical histories, of all maternity patients admitted to the two hospitals. With the “small-group conference” methods in the out-patient clinics, the delivery rooms, and the lying-in wards, conducted chiefly by the Senior members of the Obstetric Staff; and with the “clinical clerkships, and “student-internships,” and the substitution, in large measure, of definitely outlined clinical reports, case-studies and thesis writing (the latter having been successfully followed in the Senior Class for the past two years) for the former semi-annual or periodic mass-examinations, the Obstetric Department of Temple's Medical School feels that it has taken advanced standing among the best schools of the country in the present-day renaissance ot Obstetric Teaching. THE DEPARTMENT ©IF ©VNECOLOGY ]W HE instruction in gynecology is divided into didactic and clinical. In view of the important place gynecology occupies in the general practice of medicine emphasis is laid upon the necessity for diagnosis, which is stressed in the didactic course, and amplified in the clinical instruction. As diagnosis in gynecology depends entirely upon touch, every effort is made to develop abdominal and pelvic touch, and its interpretation. Marked attention is given to medical gynecology, which is far more important to the practitioner of the healing art, than is the surgical aspect of the subject. The very important study of sterility and endocrine dysfunction is stressed, as, with radium therapy, these are the most important fields for research in gynecology today. The practitioner must be well versed in these subjects. In regard to surgical gynecology, the relative so-called minor procedures that the practitioner may do are amply demonstrated. Emphasis is laid upon the necessity for proper apprenticeship and training before attempting the major procedure. The opportunity afforded the student to make practical examinations in the ward class demonstrations, and thus develop the procedures incident thereto, constitutes a valuable Six tv- two part of the training. The students arc assigned as assistants at the operating table, in order that they may develop surgical technique, and appreciate the fallacy of attempting to do gynecological surgery before being properly trained, which means three to five years in the operating room under the guidance of qualified instructors. The dispensary service is so arranged that certain subdivisions of gynecology are assigned to each day. Three members of the staff arc associated with the gynecological service of the Philadelphia General Hospital, and the wards there are used for the instruction of our students. The aims of the Gynecological Department arc to properly prepare the student for the diagnosis and medical treatment of gynecological patients, when he enters the practice of medicine; to guide him in the safe and sound observances in the so-called minor surgical procedures; and, to show him the fallacies of attempting major gynecic operations until properly trained. TIME GRCMTE aVNID DEVELGDMENT ©E TIE IE X-IEaVT DEPARTMENT CE TEE SAM A ID II TaV N IE DSD II TaV II. || N MARCH, 1914, when the undersigned took charge of the X-ray Department '■ of the Samaritan Hospital, the “Department'' consisted of one room in the basement, about 15 x 18 feet in size, and a closet .' feet wide by 10 feet long. The equipment of the “Department' consisted of an old Queen induction coil, two X-ray tubes (gas tubes), a long wooden table over which was suspended a tube-bowl, four developing trays, a ruby developing light, a small table, two chairs, and a waste basket. The induction coil had, at some period of its life, been badly abused, and was only “hitting on one cylinder.’ In order to avoid wasting X-ray plates unnecessarily, one had to pick and choose his patients very carefully. When word came down to the department that an X-ray examination of a hip case was desired, it was necessary to go to the bedside of the patient and estimate his probable weight. If he was unfortunate enough to weigh more than 150 pounds, he had to do without the X-ray examination, as our apparatus would not penetrate the obese. The department did a large business in Colie? fractures. This was for two reasons, the first being that our apparatus would actually produce excellent radiographs of Colics fractures, and secondly that owing to the absence of self-starters on automobiles, Colics fractures were more plentiful at that time. Once a week a ward-class would stroll into the X-ray Department to see whether there were any new developments in Colics fractures since the previous week. The ward-class and myself, all three of us, would crowd into the closet above referred to, and by the light of our ruby light we would develop Colics fractures. After operating the Queen coil for a few months, and lamenting the plight of patients who weighed more than I 50 pounds and therefore could not have the benefit of X-ray diagnosis, we obtained subscriptions for better apparatus. When the sum of two hundred and fifty dollars had been subscribed, we looked around for bargains, and discovered that in a certain storage warehouse there was an early Smxik Interrup-terles? Transformer which had been idle for some time. We were able to purchase this for the exact sum which we had collected. It is true that the apparatus had no milliameter and it was impossible to know how much current was passing through the X-ray tube, but we soon learned to estimate by the color of the tube just about what the output of rays amounted to. One of the greatest disadvantages of this apparatus was its noise. It possessed two motors, one motor being geared to the other by means of a leather belt. The flapping of this leather belt and the roar of the two motors Sixty three combined to make a noise like a threshing machine, which made conversation inv possible. The hospital generated its own electric current at that time. The current was gwd, but there was not enough to go around, and when the electric elevator went up, the X-ray tube went down, and sometimes nearly out. When an important case was being X-rayed, a trusty assistant was dispatched to the elevator, to open the door and prevent anyone from using it. As imperfect as this apparatus was, by our latter day standards, we were able to make very fine skull, kidney and chest plates, and thick hips ceased to present any great difficulties. By this time the different departments of the hospital began to show their appreciation of the widening scope of the X-ray Department. The Eye Department presented us with a modern stereoscopic tube-stand. The Orthopedic Department followed suit with an up-to-date stereoscope. Across the hall from the X-ray Department was a very large room which was being used as a receiving ward. Having observed this receiving ward for several weeks and seeing it only occasionally occupied by alcoholic inebriates, we persuaded the superintendent of the hospital that our small X-day room was plenty large enough for the inebriants, while their large ward would make splendid X-ray quarters. On moving into this fine, large room, we felt it was encumbent upon us to show our gratitude. This we did by getting up a big dance, the proceeds to lx used in the purchase of apparatus. The proceeds amounted to over four hundred dollars, and with this amount as a nucleus we were soon able to purchase a modern transformer, capable of doing all of the X-ray work of our fast-growing hospital. During the time when the new addition to the hospital was being built, the X-ray Department suffered a set-back, owing to the fact that nearly one-half of our floor space had to lx sacrificed and used in constructing the corridor into the new building. Finally, in 1925, a conference was held with the Hospital Committee and Trustees, with a view to equipping an up-to-date X-ray Department large enough to take care not only of the work of the hospital at that time, but large enough to allow for expansion. To the lasting credit of this committee, they fulfilled every request made of them at this conference, both as to equipment and quarters. The old operating suite was torn out and partitioned, giving space for a waiting room, office, treatment room, general radiographic room, dark room and gastrointestinal room. The treatment and general radiographic rooms were equipped with heavy-duty interrupterless transformers with remote control, and the gastrointestinal room was equipped with a combined fluoroscopic and radiographic tilt table. In addition, the department was equipped with a mobile bedside X ray unit capable of beng used anywhere in the hospital. In 1914. when I was asked to take charge of the X ray work .it the Samaritan Hospital, I was told that it would require about three hours a week. At the present time, with a staff of competent assistants, we are often barely able to keep pace with the work by running a daily eight to nine-hour service. And so, Mr. Editor, the X-ray Department reports progress. DEPARTMENT CE PEDIATRICS T HE course in Pediatrics is given during the third and fourth years, and consists IB of didactic and clinical work for both classes. A thorough course is given in the Junior year on the anatomy, physiology and hygiene of infancy, including infant feeding and infantile therapeutics. For practical work the classes are divided into small sections, and are taken both to the Children's Ward and the Out-patient Department, in this way becoming familiar with the most approved methods of examination and treatment, lx th at the bedside of the acutely ill child, and in the Dispensary of the chronically sick child. A special course in contagious diseases is Sixty-four given at the Philadelphia Hospital for Contagious Diseases, where the Senior Class is divided into sections for bedside instruction. The H. Brookcr Mills Pediatric Society comprises thirty members from the Senior Class and twenty members from the Junior Class, and holds its meetings once a month, at which members of the Senior Class read papers tor discussion by the assistants in the department. The society is addressed by at least one prominent speaker during each semester, and the final meeting is always held on April 23rd, the birth date of its Honorary President and Patron, consisting ot a dinner and enter' tainment. € ip mr ip a jl H€ il©gy The specialty which puts the “seeing eye” into the physician; guides the brain surgeon to an exact localization of intracranial pathology; the vade mecum of the neurologist in making a definite diagnosis, if he can be persuaded to venture an opinion; a dependable guide to the rhinodaryngologist in operatng upon diseased nasal accessory sinuses and tonsils, if he can find no other justifiable reason to operate; an important link in the chain which enables the otologist to make valuable contributions to cerebral localization; a towering oak upon which to lean in times of distress in mastoid and aural surgery; and an asset to the internist in its ability to contribute definite information in cardio'vascular'renal disease and other problems with which the physician is confronted. It was the first of the surgical specialties to be divorced from general surgery. In its dual role of a strict specialty in itself and an essential consulting branch to which other departments of medicine look for aid, it has won its prominent place in the college curriculum on a basis of merit and exactness. The medical student who is interested in an exact science, a phase of medicine which will yield gratifying results, and delicate and precise surgery, will find the field of Ophthalmology alluring, diversi-fied, and promising. As Professor of Ophthalmology, I wish to express to the members of the Class of '29 my personal appreciation, and also that of my staff, for your earnest efforts to grasp the subject, and your cordial and spontaneous reaction to our endeavors to simplify and present a difficult, but important, phase of medicine. To all of you we wash abundant success in your chosen profession, and to those of you who may elect Ophthalmology as a branch to practice, we bespeak a most cordial welcome. THERAPEUTICS THIRD YEAR: Two lectures a week throughout the year. Applied thera- peutics is taught with a consideration of the conditions under which each drug may be used in treatment of disease. Every disease (excepting those of the nervous system, and specialties) is considered from the standpoint of treatment, including management, drugs, and other remedial measures. Special attention is given to a consideration of the effects of disease upon the influence of drugs and the relationship between the physiological action and therapeutic effect, as well as the symptomatology and treatment of toxic effect of drugs. FOURTH YEAR: One clinic a week throughout the year. Cases from the Medical Wards of the Samaritan Hospital are presented with the view to illustrate before the class not only treatment by drugs, but by other therapeutic measures such as hydrotherapy, paracentesis, venesection, cupping, leeching, etc. In addition, advanced prescription writing is considered with the view of acquainting the students with writing prescriptions for definite disease. A physician may be superlatively trained in the science of medicine, but all his valuable training may amount to naught if he has no knowledge of drugs and remedies to combat symptoms and cure disease. It is also imperative to have a knowledge of the social, economic, psychological, and sentimental sides of mankind in order to be successful in the practice of medicine. Sixty'five JUST TC REVIEW TIUIC IPaVST DR. ROBERTSON I would recommend chat you read Bair's Rest in Peace. What is the difference between a zypher and a draft, and how wide must a colum of air he, to be a draft? Swapping of colloid particles, Tyndall Phenomenon, difference in isothermic reactions, all reminiscent of our early morning flights to dizzy heights previously unknown by us p x r earthly anchored beings, and then the sudden crash to earth when we realized that we would never rightly know medicine without knowing physical chemistry. During the cold winter months when we shivered our way to class, speculations ran amuck among the students as to whether he would wear an overcoat or not, and it was always our desire to be on hand early to see for ourselves and not rely on second-hand news. His quiet manner of bedside instruction and the ease in which he demonstrated glaring points that we had overlooked taught us to endeavor to imitate his careful methods and to learn from his vast knowledge based on practical experience of which he so freely and so generously offered. The Class of '29 will always remember Dr. Robertson as a doctor in the highest sense of the word—a student and a gentleman. DR. H. BROOKER MILLS Every Senior looks forward to the weekly Pediatric Clinic held by Dr. Mills. It has been well said by a fellow student that it is impossible to choose which professor conducts the most entertaining hour. Dr. Mills or Dr. Bochroch. His witticisms about doting parents and grandparents always bring forth sallies of laughter. We feel that he blends well the practical and theoretical side of Pediatrics. He instructs us not only in the medical, but also in the Psychological treatment of patients. His years of experience in this specialty has enabled him to pass on to us priceless suggestions concerning our future conduct and management of cases in this interesting branch of medicine. DR. J. GARRETT HICKEY One of our high tension and mile-a-nunute lecturers of the early days. Inasmuch as the greater part of his associations were electrical, we were not very much surprised in regards to his speed in lecturing. Probably it was an experiment to sec if words would travel faster than lightning. It took considerable time to adapt the hearing mechanism to this type of atmosphere. It is our belief that this was not a total success. A sure test of a balanced equilibrium between the high-speed lectures and the hearing apparatus was one of his famous passing on jokes. With some the equilibrium was perfect and laughter would ensue almost instantly, with a few others the hilarity would begin some time afterwards. Being so intimate with electricity one would imagine that he was immune to electrical shock. However, one of the boys found out to his amusement that this was not so. How well do we remember the lightning movements that were necessary to snatch a frog, the first few lessons in pithing, and that marvelous piece of mechanical reduplication of the human circulation. Sixty-six DR. W. W. STEELE A finer, more lovable gentleman, would be bard to find. So sympathetic in all his ways, even gangrenous toes blushed when looked upon with the compassionate eyes of our dear Dr. Steele. He had the student's interest at heart at all times; yes sir, we could listen to this smiling friendly voice for hours at a stretch. Small in stature, big in personality, he revelled in his demonstrations to the class, especially in the clinic where the intricacies and the mechanics of artificial legs were portrayed for us. Can we forget that little chuckle that is characteristic of Dr. Steele? No, nor can we forget his friendly attitude, at all times, and his saying that to be good doctors we must lie gentlemen first. DR. HARRY HUDSON Truly worthwhile things are rare and so with Dr. Hudson's smile. But that his smile is a potent gloomicide none of us will question. That Dr. Hudson has a thorough knowledge of his subject, a rare aptitude for artistry, and a complete under standing of Geometry and Trigonometry, arc evidenced by his blackboard illustrations. Dr. Hudson's classroom manner is forceful, his pedagogical ability unquestionable, his perspicuity discernible. If we reflect his teaching. Orthopedic travail need hold no fear for us. DR. THOMAS Wit and humor personified, a wonderful antidote for the chronic student com-plaint viz.: “blues. We learned to expect the unusual from him and looked forward to his hour as an “oasis from the usual cut and dried routine of our strenuous course. A staunch admirer of the Republicans, but conceding that one or two Democrats may pass his course. Always jovial, his usual tranquil self was disturbed but once in our association with him, when he asked that memorable question, “How many arteries in the Spermatic Cord? He received in answer, from “none upward, each questioned adding one to the previous answer. Aside from this incident and our delayed lectures on syphilis, incidently being replaced by an examination. Dr. Thomas will always inspire us with the primary requisite of a good doctor, namely, a pleasing personality. DR. G. C. BIRD If the stories he tells about the old medical days some twenty odd years ago are to be accepted as such, and there no doubt that they are, we are inclined to believe that our pranks are a mere trifle and are hardly worthwhile mentioning. He will be remembered for his pleasing and cheerful attitude under all circumstances, even at the time of his collision with one of the students with slides, lanterns and few bones at stake. And one more thing fellows, the barium enema that was flavored with cocoa is not necessary in some cases. He had a sense of humor and wit that could not easily be paralleled. DR. MAX BOCHROCH We are certain that every member of the class thoroughly enjoyed Dr. Bochroch’s hour whether or not they were students of Psychiatry. The Clinics have been so interesting and entertaining that even the famous “sons of sleep have been seen sitting on the edges of their seats during his presentation of a case. On one occasion only have we noticed any distraction of attention and it took the Graf Zeppelin to do it. In addition to his keen knowledge of his subject he has the carriage and delivery of a Statesman. His wide experience in Medicodegal matters has given him the cunning and dignity of the Judiciary. We have no doubt that every member of the graduating class will welcome his valuable instruction and help during their future years as members of the profession. Sixty-seven DR. ALBERT STRICKLER From macules to papules, from vesicles to pustules, through all the category of skin infections, waxed eloquent the voice of this forceful lecturer. Dr. Strickler could drive home what he wanted to say, in clear and concise tones. He really taught us how to write prescriptions and what to put into them. We were certainly honored when his fxxik on “Diseases of the Skin” was published last year receiving favorable comment both in America and abroad. Temple University was further honored when Dr. Strickler became the medical Director of the Skin and Cancer Hospital of Philadelphia, a great achievement indeed. We will always retain a picture of Dr. Strickler as he conducted his clinics, reigning there as a king over his subjects, pointing out the subdued redness that only he could sec, and making diagnoses that no one could or dared question. DR. MELVIN A. SAYLOR “Now you take 5 cc. of solution, place it in a clean test tube, slowly add a few drops of urine, like this, and heat gently over a moderate flame.” That high-pitched voice of Dr. Saylor’s accompanied his movements as he seemed to perform the experiment while giving directions for it. Many a time we expected to see molecules jumping through the air, from one hand to another, for Dr. Saylor actually pictures the various chemical reactions. His lectures on toxicology held us spell bound, for his demonstrations of poisoned individuals, and also intoxicated ones were spectacular. We loved his practical. That trusty nickel was always at hand to determine whether a color reaction was red or green. Dr. Saylor was one of the best liked men of the theoretical years. DR. ARTHUR C. MORGAN EL: won’t start quizzing yet—he hasn't lectured on typhoid yet—but he did not lecture on typhoid and he did start quizzing. With the first question put to his first victim our peace of mind vanished, not knowing who would be the next victim of his witty and exacting barrage of questions. His pet phrase, “a straight line” uttered in a sharp voice and answered feebly by the class—“is the shortest distance between two points, sums up Spicy in a few words, direct and to the point, with no detours. We would be wise in retaining, with the knowledge of therapeutics he has hammered into us, this favorite axiom of his, and endeavor to follow the methods he so ardently championed. DR. FRANK HAMMOND Much has been said and written about the “personal touch in medicine. Anyone who has had any association with our Dean can readily appreciate what is meant by this phrase. All of us who have been under his instruction appreciate this phase of his noble character and can affirm that this is the most distinctive characteristic of the man and attribute much of his success to this one factor. He has the aptitude of lecturing so impressively that his students are held spellbound by his flow of words and as a consequence have missed some of the details for which he has held us account. The common mistakes of the present-day Gynecologist have been so indelibly imprinted upon our minds that there is little chance of any of us making similar ones surely none of us will ever put it back.” Always was he glad to take his valuable time to advise and help us, ever ready to comfort and encourage us. We shall long remember the Friday afternoon lectures and Wednesday afternoon Clinics, the most memorable feature being the personality and the cleverness of the lecturer and operator. Sixtycight DR. JOHN I. FANZ Hardly a man passes through the courses of Bacteriology and Pathology, with their voluminous notes engendered, with their examinations the dates of which have never yet been guessed, without at sometime or other casting an evil eye on Dr. Fanz. It is only in the Senior Year when we are liberated from the maze of immediate difficulties that we obtain a perspective on Dr. Fanz. We can now appreciate the man in his true worth and we know him to be an outstanding and excellent teacher. No discourse on Dr. Fanz would be adequate without mention of his sincerity, his absolute fairness to his students, and his incessant labor and sacrifice for the benefit of his students and a greater TEMPLE MEDICAL SCHOOL. DR. JOHN B. ROXBY In our memories he shall always remain a long and lanky teacher, an adviser and true friend with a streak of gray to betray his advancing years. Even alter we have entered the gray age, we shall picture him a symbol of eloquence, of loyalty and of determined character. His voice, his poise, his associations, all spelled eloquence; he is loyal to his duties and to himself, and a loyal teacher to those he taught. His success in all his enterprises speaks for his determinative qualities. As a teacher he has been always watchful, always ready, and forever willing to help. His earnest interest, his successful guidance and his sound advice have been a source of comfort in those seemingly dragging years. He will always be a pleasant memory. DR. ROBERT F. RIDPATH It is rare that we find a man who can combine the dignity and erudition of a professor with the friendliness and spirit of youth. Dr. Ridpath is just such a man, he is more than a physician, more than a teacher, more than a friend, for he is a comrade and a pal to his students. His kindly paternal spirit and his genial personality will forever remain an inspiration to all of us. DR. JESSE O. ARNOLD “MEN ARE NEVER SO LIKELY TO SETTLE A QUESTION RIGHTLY AS WHEN THEY DISCUSS IT FREELY.” No greater compliment can be paid to any man's pedagogical ability than to be able to say that after his discussion of a question, the subject matter has been so thoroughly fixed in the minds of his students, that even without further study, time is unable to eradicate it. This can lie said of Dr. Arnold. We feel certain that Dr. Arnold's calm demeanor, his altropathy, and his erudition, have made him the peerless obstetrician that he is. We will do well to emulate him. DR. J. H. CLARK We often wondered why this pathologist, garbed in an olive green robe, did you say raincoat or covermie all, would request that the windows be opened just as soon as he entered the classroom. After researches “a la Hopkins,” the physicists of our class have presented a logical explanation for such a demand which was a most unique one on a cold day. According to their conclusions, it seems that extra large quantities of oxygen had another function, i.e., a stimulating effect on the thought centers of the brain and on the ninth, tenth and twelfth cranial nerves. In view of this we can explain the 27,654 word lectures. Unfortunately this stimulating effect was not exerted on the graphic centers or motor nerves, consequently we were shy a few thousand words in each lecture. We therefore would suggest that a “Shorthand Course lie taken in all prep work. Sixty'nine Here's to the Nurses—the pink ones; Here's to their many charms; For our hearts are light and faces bright; Whenever they're in our arms. We know their lot is a hard one; But they're there, in spite of it all; And we know the bliss of a pinkie's kiss In a corner, down the hall. Roses will fade in the autumn; And so will their pink, it's true; But we drink their toast, and we make our boast; Of the pinkies that we once knew. So here’s our toast to their future; And to them we raise our drink; May the white they'll wear make them look as fair As they did when they wore pink. Seventy Senior Class in Gynecologic Clinic class ini sire ipy This is the place. Stand still, my steed.— Let me review the scene. And summon from the shadotvy past The forms that once have been. Longfellow. .A WRITTEN tradition, historical and verifiable, was recently found among records uncovered by an Archaeological Party on the site of an old building in the city of Philadelphia. A synopsis of the document is given for the interest of those that have since followed in the footsteps of the members of the crusade described below. It was the year 1925, A. D. A band of crusaders were gathered in the courtyard of a Temple of Aesculapius in the ancient city of Philadelphia. It was the holy duty of the people, as it has been since immediately following the demise of the Great Healer, to erect Temples in honor of him and to dedicate them to his daughters, Hygeia and Panacea. At the shrine of these Temples certain youths of the land were inducted into the mysteries of the Art of Healing. These youths were selected by lot from among those who had made pleas to offer themselves as sacrifices to the Saint. There were three score of them and among their number was a damsel who had been chosen by the Keepers of the Temple, for as civilization had advanced the gates of the Temple had been thrown open to the daughters of the land. This chosen group had gathered at the call of the Great Sire of the Temple and had come from neighboring and distant states. They were a buoyant lot and eagerly anticipated the mysteries that were to be unfolded to them during their sojourn among the Masters of the Temple who were devout worshippers of the Mighty Aesculapius. As the bells in the marketplace were tolling the morning hour of toil, the way' farers with reverence entered the portals of the Temple. They were led down steps, deep into the inner confines of the earth and away from its glittering white way, for their entire time was to be devoted to the duties that lay before them for a period of many years. The steps led to a cavern where dim and lurid lights cast weirdly upon bones that had belonged to living men. Thrusting tubercles as though thorns of the briar'bush reached out to touch them, gaping foramina opened wide their chasms as if to swallow them, bony landmarks seemed to form insurmountable bulwarks against them. Through an opening in the cave, there appeared a man with a kindly face and wearing a short white coat with sleeves that came to the elbows. The obstacles vanished as he spoke, for he was the One Who Knew All that the cave contained. He counseled with the young pilgrims, gave unto them encouragement, and showed Seventy-thrM: them the intricacies of the structure of the human frame from its rough-hewn cpiderm to its satin-likc-finished peritoneum. His assistants often came among them, aiding them yet confusing them by the complexities of their knowledge. After a complete and thorough survey of the Cavern and its Dead Men, the Master bid them Godspeed and an opening was made through which they made their exit. They were led through labyrinthine passageways by their chosen leader, Mon' vincent Farrell. Up steps of iron they climbed, at the top of which they were greeted by a young man who stopped them and said, “Herein shall you deal with carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Here also do the waters of life flow, so remember them well, for oft shall you hear of them from the Learned Master, who presides therein He pointed through an open door to a large and spacious room. They assumed their places before tables of marble upon which were bottles containing peculiar fluids. Their interest was soon drawn to a man, slight of stature, who spoke to them in a high pitched voice, “Learn well the action and reaction of these fluids, the constituents of the foodstuffs, and then the vagaries of the Waters of Life shall be revealed to you. And by reason of their effort did the Gods grant unto them the boon of an analytical mind. They then passed on into the Corridor of Bacteria. The Master here was a believer in practical psychology, for he believed that the crusaders could obtain that which they sought only in one way—that of tedious labor. He spoke words of enlightenment rather than words of cheer. He told them that the chamber in which they were now assembled was infested with tiny objects which must be caught in tubes of glass and arrayed in many colors. The pilgrims seated themselves among the objects which human eye could not see, and there reigned, during their time, excite' ment and tension for oft did they droop their heads hastily in order to avoid a petri dish as it scintillated through the air on its voyage in search of media. Happy were they when the time of departure came, for they now were to be granted an interim in their pursuit of the Art of Healing. Such time was spent with their own people in preparation for the greater trials which lay before them. From their various places of wandering they were recalled to the Temple. They now encountered a man from whose lips words flowed as though he knew not the pain of extraction. He spoke, “Ye have learned some of the mysteries of the dead, now seek ye the mysteries of the living.” He disappeared behind the Wall of What Lies Beyond, expatiating as he went upon the five senses, one of which was so well exemplified by the acuity of his own olfactory apparatus. There came before them a lady bearing a silvered box which at one time had contained ambrosia of which the Gods had partaken. She gently lifted its cover and there sprang forth animated and hopping creatures, green and striped, that placed themselves on plated glass in front of each pilgrim. From sheets of glossy parchment the travelers read and did as directed. They thrust queer things at hearts torn from their places, poured fluids upon muscles ripped from their attachments, and in desperation they turned upon each other. As they were testing the reflexes of their own bodies, the Master who had disappeared behind the Wall of What Lies Beyond brought forth toys through which crystal fluid from the water bag above flowed. They later learned that this play with toys had been given them in order to prepare them for their next ordeal which was within the Sepulcher of the Dead. There, encased in jars filled with prohibitive fluid, dismembered bodies of those that had once lived were theirs to behold. Instead of epitaphs of praise or holy inscriptions their eyes were fixed upon queer epithets affixed to the unburied remains. Hyper-trophied Spleens howled, “Mountebank,” at Yellow Atrophic Livers, Luetic Aortas innocently bewailed the promiscuity of their owners. Cystic Kidneys gaped at Sevenly-four Ulcerated Ilci, Dilated Hearts looked with disdain upon their neighbors, the Lobar Pneumonias. As calm returned to their troubled breasts, the pilgrims seated them' selves upon stools of cbonied wood to look through mirrors at this varied array of those who had fallen prey to disease. From this venture they were directed to a room in the front of which there stood a man who spoke in a monotone. Fearfully they listened to his chant and they wondered who he was. They learned by listening intently to his words that he was the Apostle of Galen. The Apostle clapped his hands and from a wire enclosure at his feet there sprang a living Hare who placed itself in the recumbent position on a boxed platform in front of the man. He spoke to the beast in words inaudible and not to be understood by his audience, the animal obeyed his commands and swooned as though hypnotised. The Master with his bulbous instrument injected into the animal’s heart drops of a fluid he pulled from a bottle. The Hare soon reacted and again was as alert as before. “What power is this that you hold over beast and fluid?” cried the new leader of the crusaders, Mel wood Eyers. The Master aroused from his reveries exclaimed, “It is the mighty extract of the suprarenals. Adrenalin.” The work of the Master continued for hours and the pilgrims withdrew to another chamber in which they saw a lady explaining charts. She was a descendant of the daughter of their Saint, the beautiful Hygeia. She told of the many virtues of her ancestress and showed the pilgrims how to keep the human body clean and pure, as was the duty of the beautiful Hygeia. The travelers again sought the company of their own firesides, to roam among the hills and drink deep of the water that traced the valley beyond. Their stay was all too short and yet they were anticipating their advancement to the higher mysteries in the Art of Healing. The upper level of the Temple was to be opened to them. As they approached the heights of the span, a strange voice greeted them. It spoke, Enter, for within these bricked and cemented walls dwell those that have fallen by the smite of that dreaded enemy of man, Disease. Here do they remain until health and happiness are restored to them or else they pass on to their reward with the angels above or with demons below. To this shrine come your predecessors who have pleased the Gods by their noble handiwork. They shall test your knowledge and ability to go forth and administer to those sorely afflicted.” They entered under the leadership of their new leader, Erodoeth Mendell. The room was small and crowded with chairs. The atmosphere was heavy with dry air pouring in from a neighboring dungeon in which heat was being generated. The pilgrims feared, lest the Demons of Hell were about to cast among them for fuel. Soon they were set at rest for there entered a man, small as to stature, but beloved of Minerva who had placed at his feet bounteous gifts of her all-inspiring wisdom. He spoke, and as he spoke the pilgrims were aghast at the magnetism radiating from him. His words were those of a mighty man of erudition and of vast experience. Authority and dignity, befitting the son of Minerva, crowned his noble brow. He told the pilgrims of how the visci of the abdomen in their eagerness to gain access to the outside world protruded through the weaker orifices of the belly wall, he lamented the mastitis and scirrhous carcinoma of the female breast, he warned of the insidious thyroid, he detailed the sensitiveness of the diverticulum of the colon which he called the vermiform appendix. The crusaders listened and believed, for he inspired them as no one had since they had left the One Who Knew All that the Cave of Dead Men contained. The gracious Master, as he was about to leave them, noticed the expressions on the faces of his newly made friends for they were sad to have him go. Turning to them he said, “Come, my friends, and ye shall see for yourselves.” They followed Seventy-five manipulations. He called each of them from their place to see for themselves and him to the Room of the Scapel. They watched with wide amazement his skillful to help him so that they would in later years he ready to answer the call which they hoped would come to them. Unto them he gave his roll of parchment which for all time would he their guide in time of trouble and anxiety. In return for their gratitude, the youths could not give unco him that which they would have gladly done, for the sacrificial altar was not permitted in those days by the law of the land. They could do hut little, save offer up words of thanksgiving and praise for the privilege that the Gods had granted them. The memory of the Master remained with them until death enveloped them. They returned to the room from which they had departed and awaiting them was a Master with a gracious smile. He went into explicit detail as to the method of obtaining facts from those who came to the Temple for aid. As he continued to explain such methods, he suddenly stopped and asked, “What is the word 1 want?” It was the day of popular puzzles solved by the crossing of words. Some timid soul from among the pilgrims asked the Master the number of letters the word he sought contained and furnished him with the word he wished to use. As he concluded he set at rest the always doubting travelers by giving them words of encouragement and praise of those that were to follow him. To take his place, there came the second Master, much sterner in appearance, but once the barrier was broken he proved to be a wholesome, wise, and pleasing man. Before he spoke there appeared in the doorway a carriage upon which rested a swarthy female and being drawn by two beautiful maidens attired alike in pink and white. The Master, directing his remarks to the largest of their number by virtue of his size, said unto him, O Gabriel, what dost thou make out of this case?” The youth remembered that the Good Book said that Gabriel should blow his trumpet. Believing that his time had come, he stammered his answer, “Mbst Worthy One, I believe she is luetic.” The Master continued to propound the same question to all of those gathered about and they answered as had their fellow pilgrim. A keen smile came over the face of the Master as he nodded his head and said, You arc right, my friends, she is luetic, but that is not the half of it.” He continued with his puzzling conundrums, but the pilgrims admired him for his knowledge and ability as he demonstrated the various phases of his subject. As he retired there came the Master of this portion of the Temple, the High Chieftain, and the Oracle. His radiance shown as he spoke. The pilgrims were charmed as he uttered words, cited theories, and applied them in an almost unbelievable manner. He conferred and counseled with them. He demonstrated physical signs and gave them peculiar names; he talked of physical chemistry and the part it was playing and the part that it would play in the future of their profession. His knowledge was boundless in scope and the pilgrims wondered how one could hold so vast a store of it within a single cranium. His language was eloquent, he extolled the Masters of the past and present, calling them by name with precision that made them gasp for breath. Thus his art was revealed to the Disciples. As time went on Master after Master came before them. There was one who came one morning and told them that he had followed them throughout their journey and that he knew them from the records which they had made. He criticised them, told them of their faults and wherein they might be corrected, for he was wise in his learning and vast experience. He scorned them for their lack of knowledge of Galen’s Laws and he opened the way to the correlation and application of these laws and principles which had been the most burdensome of all that the wayfarers had met. Not long did he tarry with them, but when he left, his imprint had been indelibly stamped upon their minds and the regard and esteem in which they held him continued for the duration of their earthly existence. He was succeeded by a man different in Scvenl -s:x appearance and manner, a most pleasing one, who too was learned in the laws of Galen and as those that were ill were brought before him he told in a clear, concise manner the change that could be wrought by the administration of strong potions and tiny pills. “1 come to be with you in days of travail, said the next Master as he entered bearing aloft a mannikin. He jumped around as a contortionist and was noted tor his wit which oft interspersed his discourses on the contour and curves of the passages and little passenger. Suddenly he began one day to call the name of each pilgrim and as he did so, said, “Rice, please.” The pilgrims in their ignorance did not know whether he was ordering an article of food which was a delicacy in those days or what could be the meaning of so strange a request. Soon they learned that it was quiz hour and this was impressed especially well upon a young wayfarer by the name of Mancski. There followed the Supreme Master and the two explained and demonstrated the way to care for the mother previous to the birth of her offspring, during the birth, and immediately following the birth. The pilgrims were then sent forth to gain practical experience. Many hours were ofttimes consumed in the waiting and many a smoke ring curled heavenward from a burning bit of weed held between the lip of the patient pilgrims. Eventually reward was theirs and the vigil of the Vestal Pilgrims was ended. Learned men and many of them next entered, led by a kindly man with sparkling eyes, smiling countenance, and well-groomed Van Dyke. These were the ones who explained the care of the babies from the time they entered the world until they reached adolesence. They confounded the pilgrims with formulae for feeding the babes, they dealt with the diseases of infancy and early childh xxl, and they told of the care of the babe when it cried, but first said one of them to a pilgrim from afar, When does the baby cry, Sir Pilos?” The Dean of the Masters and crusaders came before them and they listened to his words of wisdom and watched him as he brought forth great growths from the abdomens of women. His skill was magnificent and the rapidity and thoroughness of his work were amazing. He enlightened them concerning the ethics of Hippocrates and the stories he related were manifold and interesting. His colleague, the Master of the male perineum, was clever beyond words and oft did he amuse them with his witticisms that were to be handed down to those that were to follow them, for his supply was always replenished by new and interesting ones. There came another who was experienced and wise in the eccentricities of the human mind. He ushered in men, women, and children who talked strangely to him and uttered speech not understood by them. The Master explained them all as they made their exit, some with rigid limbs, tabetic legs, nystagmused eyes, and lost reflexes. The pilgrims wondered what else could be in store for them, for already their skulls were bulging with facts that could not be retained. But on they came; there was the Clinical Pathologist w-ith his method of counting human blood corpuscles and his tray of specimens; the Master of the Eye; the Master of the Nose and Throat; and the Master of the Ear. But alas, there came one who stood apart. When he came before them he fixed his eye heavenward and shouted, O Father Aesculapius, I thank Thee that I am not as other men. I am He that believes in Mercury, Quartz and Light. I use ointments of Phenol, Camphor, Acid and Menthol. I am grateful to Thee for the Great Schamberg, Engman and Myself. Soon a door which had been barred to them for years was about to be opened. The pilgrims realized the significance—it was their portal of exit, after their many Seventy-seven months of toil. There was a tug in their bosoms as they thought of parting after their travels and experience together. They had traveled as a unit, they had struggled together in their unselfish interest for knowledge. Now they were about to be per mitted to go forth singly and Co fight alone the battles that would come to them. Their regret was profound and yet they knew that to reach the heights which they sought they must now seek further experience. They knelt in reverence as the door opened. They heard the voice of their Dean as he spoke, Sir, may I present the Pilgrims of '29 who have completed their tour of the Temple of Aesculapius and who arc now ready to go out into the world to fulfill their obligation to mankind? A voice which had been heard but seldom and with which the pilgrims were not familiar was heard, saying, Arise, Pilgrims of 1929, 1 have the honor which has been duly vested in me to confer upon you the Degree of the Mighty Aesculapius. It was the voice of the Great Sire of the Temple. Seventy-eight She's beautiful and therefore to be wooed. She is a woman, therefore to be won.' If anyone can he relied upon to make an impression on women, it is George. We admit the impression is not always favorable, but still this is better than being one of the great class of socially mediocre “also rans. We believe that George’s success in dealing with the weaker sex as well as his success in dealing with his own sex is due to his innate self-confidence. This self-confidence has never manifested itself in obnoxious mannerisms. It has lent force to his deeds and rendered his personality dynamic without his becoming an egoist. Our idea of a real task is trying to convince George of anything he prefers not to believe. After repeated persistent lengthy verbal combats between George and the rest of the world we are forced to admit that they arc all out of step but Gcorce. As the old Quaker said to his wife. “Mariah. the world art wrong save thee and me. and sometime Mariah thou too art just the least bit queer. ' And yet in spite of his self-confidence, in spite of his argumentation, we know we shall always be proud of George and we wish him success for the future.

He never neglected himself and those sinewy, brawny, highly developed muscles of both body and tongue arc evidence of this fact. It is regrettable that a medical student docs not ordinarily participate in the athletic activities of the University, for surely a Hansen, a Holman, a Haggerty, has been lose to posterity. Because of his basketball. Charlie found it necessary to rearrange his curriculum which was undoubtedly an improvement on the faculty's roster. Far from the madding, jostling, hurrying crowds of old Southwark is a whispering, gurgling, crystal-clear brook, hurrying over hill and dale till it reaches the alabaster village called “Strawberrv Mansion, from whence cometh Charlie. From this peaceful village has come a tribe powerful in mind, powerful in body, but much more powerful in tongue, namely, The Strawberry Mansion Gang. Charlie by reason of his verbosity has been chosen their leader. Probably he owes this to his profound knowledge of Freud whom he so readily quotes without fear of contradiction. We expect Charlie to become one of our foremost Neurologists; however, whether he picks this or any other branch of the chosen profession, we feel assured of his success.

While the more boastful of the boys would speak of their interesting episodes, our Ralph would sit back and listen and think, but at a class meeting he was always on hand with legal technicalities, the proverbial fly in the ointment, as it were. Another characteristic of our Ralph was his love of nature, being particularly fond of dumb animals, viz., the weaker sex and badgers. He acquired this latter weakness as a Junior while on the carpet for Spicy. In his chosen field of work. Obstetrics, he has made many friends, particularly at the Grcathcart Hospital, but strange to say he always had difficulty in remaining awake during our lectures in Obstetrics, always being on the receiving end of a gentle nudge in order that he might not miss this or that point. Ralph is the silent but by no means inactive member of the Newell-Brumbaugh Combination whose activities extend far and wide. The Class of '29 takes this occasion to wish Ralph success in his chosen profession and his desire to make Altoona a clean city. School- Juniata College Address—Altoona, Pa.

Buck has all the earmarks (out croppings) of a financial wizard and had an able partner in his friend 'Ric. Many are they who will tell how Buck and Ric by their combined efforts took the boys over in their frequent games of chance, matching pennies or what have you. Joining us in our Junior Year, he was immediately put in charge of that memorial back row. Many and stormy were the occasions when he was called upon to weather hts weary flock from the wrath of various professors, and be it said as a tribute to his able leadership, that he always proved equal to the occasion.

He was never ruffled or flustered, or worried about anything. The world was his to play in, and he made of it a large infinite stage. He was at his best when he had a long cigar in his mouth, puffing away at it serenely, and relating some of his remarkable experiences that he conjured up in his own mind. Without any premeditated art. he would sit and talk to the boys, pouring out from the fullness of his heart, stories that sounded like the real thing. In his masterful narracive-telling he never cracked a smile, and we never knew whether to believe or disbelieve him. But he meant well. Franklin said, Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today, but Carpel always thought it was better to do tomorrow what could be done today. Ray will always be remembered as the fellow who broke the bell in the Senior classroom, we can even now see him cringe to his seat as the bell makes a sort of rattle as an excuse for ringing, and a chorus of voices sings out. “Carpel did it!” Ray was one of the big boys of the class, regular in his studies and usually on time, a smile on his face, and ever ready to dine.

Outside of his political associations very little was known of him as he seldom opened his mouth in class (some said that he opened his mouth only at the wrong time). He is credited with being the midnight oil burner of the class. Rarely would he be seen without his notes or books; he studied diligently, his only rival being Pickarski. If Celebrc did not win any prises it wasn’t because he didn't try for them. All in all he was a good student and will go far in his chosen profession.

Although Harold i$ in advance of the present civilization in both his aesthetic appreciation of real music and the profundity of his conception of the philosophy of medicine, yet he has retained the lost art of an old defunct civilization, the art of the traveling minstrel. Even as the minstrel of old, related the talcs of the Odyssey and Iliad for the edification and gratification of foreign kings and their courts, so did Pudgy entertain and inspire with awe his classmates by his hyperbolic recounting of incidents that were or might have been. This curly-headed boy scout master had the greatest power of imagination in the class, for he was always imagining preposterous happenings that would cause the more serious minded to worry. Harold has filled the role of Salvation Nell or the little ray of sunshine that brightened up all the dark corners of trial, trepidation, and disease necessarily found in the wards of a hospital.

Mike belongs to that infamous group known as the Strawberry Mansion Gang. Although not its leader he is consistent with the policies of this group. That is, the commotion and the uproar that is always centered around the fourth row. Mike’s ability to cause disturbance in the class room has increased greatly during the past four years, we tremble to think of what four more years in medical school would do to him. Wc feel that Mike was predestined to be a Therapist. When asked for the rationale of his treatment, his answer is We give this drug for empirical reasons—that's it! The devil can quote scripture to justify his means. We will long remember Mike's pleasant smile and likable mannerisms and we wish him well for the future.

There were many times when he was serious though he would never have us believe it. as for instance after the mid-year examination in Neurology in our Senior Year. He spent last summer in the state of the crocodiles and came back with a supply of new stories. His ability for being able to tell a story was class-wide and he always took great pride in it.

It is far easier to waft in the kisses of the past and to dream of the future, to paint beautiful pictures of things to come. Such is the philosophy of Buddy, our jovial, rotund, happy classmate. For about two or three years we would notice that Buddy and his friend Sol would rush away from the last class and secrete themselves in their room to study until the midnight oil was low. This relationship explains the many arguments between these two during lecture hours. Buddy's life is built upon a foundation of fun. and a raccoon coat.

Most of us will be satisfied to get our patients after we have passed our State Boards and opened our offices, but Lee began his private practice in his Freshman year and it has now reached such enormous proportions that it interferes with his attendance at class. He modestly admitted this. Needless to say this extensive practice demands therapy and he assured us his success is due to his invaluable contribution to the Pharmacopoeia namely.

It seems that during this time, by action of osmosis, he acquired quite a collection of trichinous growth on his manly chest, of which he was justly proud. This line of work made him, no doubt, so meticulous in everything he did; and he is especially noted because he never sat in a chair before carefully-wiping oil the dust from it with a neatly folded dust rag that he always carried in a pocket.

One hundred twenty'seven TC Tin IE GRADUATING CLASS CIE 1929-TELLDW STUDENTS Thus you have been led up to the parting of the ways. Not always smooth traveling perhaps, sometimes beset with doubts and perplexities, but the goal ahead has served to spur you on. This you have won. But in doing so you have hitherto had the constant help and counsel of those immediately interested in your progress. The goal won, the victors and the crowd depart, and you are now in greater measure than ever before, thrown upon your own resources, the lives of many depending on you as individuals. No longer the collective effort as represented by a well organized body, but your own individuality must increasingly assert itself. You will unlearn much and learn a great deal more during your internship. Self-reliance born of experience will be one of the rewards. Then will come the real start in life. Cut loose for the first time from your moorings, you will drift for a while. Some will soon find the current. Others may be less fortunate perhaps. An occasional one may even founder. Your duty then will be to become an active member of a medical society, to affiliate yourself with a progressive hospital, to strive to keep abreast of the times by a systematic reading of some high-class medical journal, and to read still more carefully, the editorials in several journals. Last, but not least, join the Alumni Association. When your pride in your Alma Mater is founded on genuine respect, you are taknig the first step in the creation of a greater institution, increasingly worthy of your loyalty and esteem. It has aided you not alone in the making of a livelihood. That is a great deal, but it has served to put a seal upon you, to create an atmosphere, to make you a respected member of your community, as long as you fulfill the requirements of the Hippocratic oath. It was the great Bocrhaave who said, “simplex sigillum veri,” and truly simplicity is the seal or stamp of truth. We are engaged in a noble work, the alleviation of suffering, mental and physical. Surely we should strive to be tolerant in a realization of our common obligations. We cannot be other than human of course, but by steadfastly keeping before us the great aim and object of our lives, we can lessen the asperities and strive for tolerance. “—To thine ownself be true: And it must follow, as the night the day. Thou canst not then be false to any man. To the graduating class as a body, I say farewell. As fellow students, may we remain bound in the ties of love and duty. One hundred twcniyeight I sincerely hope that the time you have spent in undergraduate work has resulted in the development of a habit of methodical observation, correlation and deduction based upon an adequate knowledge of the fundamental sciences. Your diagnostic acumen depends far more upon this principle than upon an attempt to recall to mind isolated, disconnected fragments gained through didactic instruction. An orderly system of study applied to your cases will result in the acquisition of that proper degree of self'Confidence essential to the successful practice of medicine. That you possess kindness, gentleness, consideration and sympathy, all necessary attributes of the true doctor, is evidenced by your choice of vocation. “The loveliest thing wherever you go Is a touch of humanity tender and true With a glimpse of man's brotherhood shining through. During your four years of medicine at Temple University, you have been climbing a ladder, until finally you have reached the glorious heights of graduation. We of the various departments who have each contributed a rung in that ladder, congratulate you. Now you bid us farewell to climb a ladder alone. A steeper ladder, a tedious and sometimes a disheartening climb, but never an impossible task. The outstanding need will not be ability, which is surely most necessary as a means, but you must have a great and infinite enthusiasm for and in your work. We of the faculty have imparted to you the varied principles connected with the Practice of Medicine, and now and always it will lie a source of the finest satisfaction to reali-e that those efforts will be continually employed, not only to alleviate the suffering of this world, but to advance the ever growing wealth of knowledge for this great and glorious profession which now bids you welcome. We say farewell and with confidence reiterate, that with increasing labor and great love for your profession, you will certainly find success. Success or failure at college supply no standards by which the promise of the future may be estimated. Originality of thought is not measurable by the same units applied to a written examination. Reiteration of words and statements of others may be creditable but cannot be compared with the ability of originating ideas or devising new solutions to problems. Many notable advances have been made by men who have not been professionally occupied with scientific work, and the practice of medicine affords abundant opportunities. Facts which seem trivial in themselves may be rich in suggestion to the thoughtful mind. Discoveries of direct and immediate application to human affairs rarely spring forth full-grown, but their beginnings are usually inconspicuous and their development slow. In your medical course no doubt many questions of moment have arisen and remain unanswered. May the future give you the privilege of solving some of these problems is the earnest wish of One hundred tu-enty-nine T'O THE CLAjfjf ©F1929 Though the Muse has touched hut few of us, and we sing not as the poets sing, nor appeal with the silvery tones of the orator, we can nevertheless achieve by service alone, be we students or teachers. In September, 1925, from north, from south, from cast and west, gathering to-gether, with their cynosure Temple University's Medical School, groups arrived to be welded together as a class, a class in a B grade institution. From upper classmen came rumors that, irrespective of rating, students for some time had been getting class “A instruction. However, after meeting their teachers several times, the new recruits, we believe, were rather convinced concerning that which the upper classmen had whispered; and in their third year the faith they carried in their institution was thoroughly rewarded by official recognition of their Alma Mater. Looking backward into time, I see this stumbling, faltering collection of raw material gradually wrought and fashioned into an entity, a material gift of the University to humanity, a priceless unit- Temple's Medical Class of 1929. What then has been our contribution to this outgoing body? Surely we can say humbly that we gave it speech—and the power of understanding. For are not Bacteriology and Pathology the very foundations in Medicine, after the normal has been made clear in Anatomy, Physiology, and Chemistry? Our very basic principles of reasoning, in the study of diseases, are thought in terms of pathologic processes. Medicine, Surgery and Therapeutics have made their greatest strides only since the early fifties, after receiving their impetus for development in Virchow’s “Principles of Cellular Pathology. Glad am I indeed, and proud am I also, to say that I had concern in the moulding and shaping of this exodus of healers of the sick, who shall carry out into the world the great traditions of the University's Founder. We who have taught you, regret your departure through the friendships that have been made; but pass on—only in going forth, shall you achieve and triumph. We, your instructors, may not follow you. It is for us to remain, to serve the coming classes. Your triumphs and your glories shall be our triumphs and our glories for this, at least, is given to the teacher. Therefore, onward! Ever onward! Farewell! We hail you in the passing. And so, class of twenty-nine, you have spent the years in gathering facts pertaining to life, but now ere long you will be launched upon the great adventure of living your life among the living ambulatory, bed-ridden, and hospitalized puzzles. If anatomy has taught you anything it has taught you orderly arrangement, and oh how that applies to the Doctor’s life! Anatomy has taught you logical sequence, and that begets concentration in thinking, and that implies keen observation and precision in laying down premises based on the facts learned, leading to that greatest of all acquisitions, confidence in determination. Where one is anatomically minded, one is surely clinically minded, and isn't that your aim and isn't that what the public is wanting? Now, I say farewell and may your trying efforts be rewarded a hundred fold. Otic hundred thirty JUNIOR CLASS IHISTCUr President..............................................N.

The pre-medical course was ended and such a volume as Gray’s Anatomy would no longer be a curiosity, hut a delightful guide though the maze of dissection. The Sophomore Year brought pathology and physiology to the fore. Pathology with its train of distorted cells, came to vex the student. Malignant cells and cyto-orgies and outrages were marshalled into complete submission by the indefatigable Dr. Fanz and his able assistant, Dr. Gault. Physiological elucidations were numerous through Dr. Hickey's mechanical heart apparatus, of which that professor may be justly proud. The new physiological laboratory with its pleasing orderliness and ample instru-ments were appreciated by the students. Dr. Lathrop and her rectifying R’s shocked many aspiring Laboratorians, but we point with pride to our laboratory books at this moment. Permutations, combinations, and conversations were handily utilized from pre-medical college algebra to strengthen our convictions interesting for unknowns in Sophomore Chemistry. And then pyramidal tracts and kindred structures were rigorously disclosed by the eloquence of an earnest student of their intricacies—Dr. Roxby. Besides studies on the master tissues of the body we arc glad to announce that Dr. L. T. Sajous went all the way from effects of drugs on the sympathetic nervous system to the details of the therapeutics of digitalis with no rabbit mortalities and only one necrotic rabbit’s ear. September 1928 found us all members of the Junior Class with the A-rating and preparations on foot for the new medical school. There is something to please everyone with surgery lectures and ward walks for those who like these subjects and teachers willing and anxious to please in neuro psychiatry, pediatrics, obstetrics, gynecology, ophthalmology, medicine and therapeutics as well as the shorter courses as diseases of the chest, x-ray, proctology, tropical medicine, medical jurisprudence, and the history of medicine all being duly emphasized. It must be admitted that the Junior Year with its varied pursuits is a relief from the routine of the two previous years, but we are aware of the fact that the preparation given us in these years was necessary to appreciate the clinical experience of which we are now having. The Samaritan, Greatheart, Jewish, Philadelphia General, and Municipal Hospitals bring with emphasis the scope of the future life we are anticipating and encourage us to attain that goal. History does not repeat itself in lives of medical classes for with the advent of a new class numerous changes arc effected and each change is wrought for the betterment of the students Yesterday is as remote as the days of Hippocrates and of Galen for both have qualification of being among the memories of the past. Marcus Aurelius once said, '‘Time is a river, the mighty current of created things. No sooner is a thing in sight, than it is swept past and another comes sweeping along, and will anon be by.

Herman Rubin HISTORY ■ T WAS with great joy that we returned as Sophomores to continue our investiga-!■ tions into the realm of Medical Science. It was with a feeling of gratification and thankfulness that we learned that nearly all of us had successfully passed the Freshman Year. Added to the fact that Temple Medical School was made class A and you have the reason for the happy smiles that permeated every one's countenance. In retrospection—how vividly we recall the trials and tribulations that we underwent as Freshmen. But how much more do we experience them in actuality now that we have been introduced to the study of Physiology and Pathology. However, their all absorbing interest more than repays us for our sincere efforts, in as much as we can now actually start to apply the knowledge garnered in our Freshman year. But, we must not forget that the Sophomore year presented numerous obstacles that had to be overcome in the way of additional examinations. However, the type of student that represents the present Sophomore Class is undoubtedly capable of coping with any difficulty that may arise. As we look back over the big moments of this year, we imagine ourselves parading through the halls with the ends of the stethoscope protruding, inspiring awe and veneration into the minds of the onlookers. As we sported ourselves in dignity, in our imagination, we saw the dark impending gloom of three long years stretched out before us. The road seemed interminable, but now we are about to pass the second milestone, and our future takes a more rosy hue. Our ambition is now within our realization. Socially speaking, we have a record that we are proud of, our welcoming dance to the Freshmen was undeniably successful, and their reciprocal dance to us, even more so. However, the determination and will power characteristic of our first year is still as marked as it ever was. We have acquired an increased loyalty, devotion and love for the noble art of medicine, thanks to the untiring efforts of our beloved professors. We hope that the future will continue to shed its glorious lustre to light our way and we hope that all of us will continue with the same spirit of determination as we have in the past.

BEATRICE HARKINS r AST September we came, sixty-four strong, to enter a life which, in spite of our 11— having spent a few years in college, was rather new to us. Of course we all had our ideas of what medical school life would be, but in every case doubtless they were modified to a certain extent. We were the first class to Ire subjected to the new system of concentration of courses, and the professors lost no time in making us acquainted with the grim reality of our situation, i.e., we now were in medical school and we were there to W-O-R-K. Nevertheless, we still had time to make acquaintances, form friendships, and in the natural course of events, to organize the class. Under supervision of President Nathanson of the Sophomore Class, elections were held and officers were chosen to lead the class. Strangely enough three of the four officers elected “hailed from Western Pennsylvania. They were Ron Hamer, President; Max Klein, Vice-President; Jesse Arnold, Secretary. We elected to entrust our financial resources in the hands of one of the two members of the weaker sex, Miss Beatrice Harkins, as Treasurer. She made a competent and persuasive dues-col lector. Under the leadership of these officers our class has had a successful year financially, socially, scholastically (we hope) and otherwise. The Annual Freshman Hop propagated by our class was termed the “best ever” by the upper classmen who have been perennial attenders. This dance was given as a return-compliment to the Sophomores who had tendered us a Reception Dance early in the year. Juniors and Seniors were also invited to both affairs and Temple Med in general had joyous evenings. We also found time to lend our support to worthy extra-curricular activities. The football and basketball games were well attended and we opened our hearts to the Welfare Federation. Being a small class and being in close contact with each other, enable us to become intimately acquainted with our faculty and classmates. We learned to appreciate their innumerable sterling qualities and to enjoy their distinctive traits. We are sorry to say, mixed with all of the pleasant things we experienced were those “banes of existence, the exams. Generally unannounced and coming like a bolt out of the sky, they usually made us feel that we had missed our calling. The first Bacteriology Exam seemed particularly disastrous according to Dr. Franz (while scratching his left ear posteriorly with his right hand), “Gentlmen, it was a horrible condition. And in our Anatomy Exams we probably had not paid enough attention to our continuities and contiguities and to our inter-relationships. By the same token we usually had our periods of depressions along with our pleasant ones. Now we have passed one of the milestones on the road of our medical career. We have had our “first-year taste of the life; we have burned the midnight oil by the gallon; we have had the cares of every first year class, the troubles, anxieties and also the pleasures. Now we face the stretch to the second milestone, wiser and older Held together by our bonds of friendship and common interests, we stand expectant and determined that to a man, we, of the Class of 2, are going to “make good.

The school is judged largely by its Alumni and the progress and records that they make. I want, therefore, to take this opportunity of inviting each member of the graduating class to become an active member and help the Alumni Association in its growth and progress. The strength of the Organization depends on its size and unison of action for its power, progress and usefulness. I want to commend the present graduating class on this publication of The Skull as it shows marked progress. It helps to instill interest and aids in holding our Alumni closer together.

Lawrence H T. Stull One hundred fortythree THE DIABETIC PUD A farmer's dog came into town. His Christian name was Runt; A noble pedigree had he. Noblesse Oblige his stunt And as he trotted down the street T'was beautiful to see His work on every corner His work on every tree. He watered every gateway, And never missed a post, For piddling was his specialty And piddling was his boast; The city curs looked on amazed. With deep and jealous rage. To see a simple country dog The piddler of his age. Then all the dogs from everywhere Were summoned by a yell To sniff the stranger o'er, And judge him by his smell. Some thot that he a king might be Beneath his tail a rose. So every dog came trooping near And sniffed it up his nose. They smelled him over one by one, They smelled him, two by two. And noble Runt in high disdain Stood still till they were through. Then just to show the whole shibang He didn’t give a dam He trotted to the grocery store And piddled on a ham. He piddled on a mackerel keg. He piddled on the floor. And when the grocer kicked him out, He piddled through the door. Behind him all the city dogs Lined up with instinct true, To start a piddling carnival And see the stranger through. They showed him every piddling post They had in all the town. And started in with many a wink To piddle the stranger down. They sent for champion piddlers Who were always on the go. Who sometimes did a piddling stunt Or gave a piddling show. They sprang these on him suddenly When midway in the town, Runt only smiled and polished olf The ablest, white or brown. For Runt was with them every trick. With vigor and with vim; A thousand piddles more or less Were all the same to him. So he was wetting merrily With hind legs kicking high. When most were hoisting legs in bluff And piddling mighty dry. Then on and on, Runt sought new-ground By piles of scraps and rust. Till every city dog went dry And only piddled dust. But on and on went noble Runt As wet as any sill, And all the champion city pups Were piddled to a dead standstill. Then Runt did free hand piddling With fancy flits and flings Like “double drip'- and “gimlet twist And all those graceful things. And all the time this country dog Did never wink or grin. But piddled blithely out of town As he had piddled in. The city dog's convention held To ask “what did defeat us? But no one ever put them wise That Runt had diabetes.

Marsh Alesbury Philadelphia New York Chicago NOVEMBER 20, 1928, a group of students, realising the need of an organization that would promote the feeling of good fellowship within the student body, met to discuss the possibility of founding such an organization. The result of the combined effort cf the representatives of the three fraternities was the formation of the much-needed Inter-Fraternity Council. In taking this step. Temple follows a plan prevalent in the leading medical schools of the country which has met with a success far greater than was ever expected. The plan was thoroughly discussed with Dr. Frank H. Krusen. Associate Dean of the Medical School, various members of the Alumni Association and in the meeting rooms of the fraternities and with each the plan was met with hearty approval and enthusiastic promises of co-operation. This encouragement served as an impetus to the inevitable formation of the council and on December 15. 1928. the first official meeting became a reality. At this gathering were present, three members from each of the three fraternities representing each of the three upper classes of the medical school. After election of officers and other urgent business was completed, the council decided unanimously to invite Dr Frank H Krusen to become faculty adviser. His acceptance was received with much pleasure. The next step was the drawing up of a constitution in keeping with the ideals of the organization and with this, the Inter-Fraternity Council was established as an intcrgral part of the Medical School of Temple University. Meetings arc held on the night of the first Monday of each school month in the chapter room of one of the fraternities represented where problems such as the scholastic, social, athletic and other activities arc treated.

Long hast Thou remained with me Deep within the dark limitless cavern of mine abdomen, For years Thou hast reminded me of thy presence By recurrent attacks upon my otherwise good health. Thou hast cast Thy sinister shadow over many festal boards, Dooming me to days and days of soft diet And endless gallons of mineral oil. Long have I evaded Thine encroachment Upon my physical well being, Until I, at last, bloody but unbowed. Fell under the Surgeon's glittering steel. But now Thou art out, Damn Thee, Thou Worm, Thou scum of all anatomical structures. Thou Swine, Thou useless bit of tissue—Thou hast passed Into the realms of oblivion of the pathologic kine. One hundred seventy-eight TIHC IFaVHIIILIIaVIP inter-feud By Eugene O’neill sans Sexualis Time: 8:30 A. M.. any day except Sunday. Place: The Library. SCENE: A barren subterranean room, with musty damp odor, efficaceous tor the con traction of colds and conducive to bad humor; four walls, few hooks, and much hot atmosphere. Back stage are several long tables and uncomfortable chairs. Front stage to right—an elaborate desk presided over by a pompous woman of considerable avoirdupois, meticulously scrutinizing her important morning mail circulars. CHARACTERS Librarian—(Dean Protem, Disciplinarian Plenipotentiary, Chief Virago of Intelligence Bureau, Official Inspectress). Janitor—(a much abused hen-pecked poor workingman). The Dean—(a pretty good fellow). The Associate Dean—(an aide to the Librarian). Senior Medical Class- (forty-nine hard-working men fired b the flames of Altruism and Ambition but worn, haggard, and weakened by four years of unannounced exams.). SCENE ONE The telephone rings. Librarian: “Hello, Librarian's Office- (Thinking “Librarian’s Office, humph- Dean's Office. I wonder who is in trouble now.) what's that! Dr. Blank will be 5 minutes late in meeting his class today? This is the second time this has happened in the last six months. (Stiffly) I cannot allow my students to have their lecture time cut short. You say he is in the middle of a delivery, ch? (Briskly) That's no excuse! We have rules around here and Dr. Blank will have to choose his patients time of delivery with more discretion after this. Hangs up. (Thinking—“The Dean shall hear about this!!! The inconsideracy! these physicians know nothing about running a medical school -my burden five minutes of noise and baseball ”) RINGS BELL. ENTER JANITOR. Janitor: (Thinking bitterly “There she starts couldn't she take a vacation so that we could have some peace around here—Thank God I am her janitor and not her husband. ') Submissively: “Yes, ma'm.” Librarian: (Hastily) “Look at that dust over these books. I want you to dust them off immediately! Then sweep out the hall, wash the windows in the hall, hand out these cases to the students, wash the blackboards, scour the lavatory, sweep out the lecture rooms- and, above all, inform me the minute Dr. Blank comes n. Hurry now, hurry, as I shall want you very s x n again. EXIT JANITOR: (Thinking That woman can give more orders than a Sergeant in the National Guard. ) One hundred eighty ENTER ASSOCIATE DEAN. Librarian: (Thinking kindly Here is the only man on the faculty who understands my problems. ) If I did not keep after that lazy janitor all the time this place would look like a pig pen. Associate Dean: Yes, you are helping with the rest of us to maintain this as a first-class schtxil. Librarian (with martyred air): I am only trying to do my duty.” ASSOCIATE DEAN SCANS SHELVES, SELECTS BOOK ENTITLED HOW TO MAKE LIFE MORE MISERABLE FOR CLINICAL CLERKS” AND RETIRES TO FAR CORNER OF THE ROOM ABSORBED IN READING. ENTER SENIOR NUMBER 28. Sr. No. 28: Good morning, has the bell rung yet? Librarian: No- but if you were as punctual in getting to class as I am in ringing the bell you might be deriving full benefit from your studies. (Thinking superiority- and this is to be turned out on an unsuspecting public- I wonder when he is going to change those dirty white socks. ) Sr. No. 28: (Thinking ironically, What's it her business if I get full benefit out of my studies or not (snecringly) punctual! humph her bell starts the hour three minutes early and ends it three minutes late so kindly donating to us six extra minutes to every hour. ) Librarian: (Exultantly)— Do you realise this is the first time in two weeks that you have been on time? I have your complete record in my bonks. Sr. No. 28, not considering it worthwhile to answer (Thinking: I hope her next job is keeping bonks for Satan. ) STARTS TOWARDS DOOR. Librarian: Just a moment (gleefully) here are two cases for you See that the History and Physical are on the chart by 2 P. M Sr. No. 28 (hopefully): But I have classes until then Librarian (determinedly): No excuses, no excuses- -you can do it during your lunch hour.” TELEPHONE RINGS. Librarian: “Hello- who do you want, Miss?- Doctor A.? We have no doctor by that name here what, he is a senior student!—Then you mean MISTER A.! No, I cannot call him—it is not our policy to call students out of class to answer the telephone.”) CURTLY HANGS UP. ENTER SENIOR NO. 37 nervously biting finger nails, leans over confidentially and whispers to librarian: Oh, my! Oh, my! My baby erupted his first tooth, and I was up with him all night. (Anxiously) I am so worried—answer me just one question- are we or are we not going to have an examination in Ethics?” PROCEEDS TO BITE OFF TWO MORE FINGER NAILS AS AWAITS ANSWER. Librarian: (Thinking- Humph—catch me telling a student- give them a chance to prepare—I should say not! (indignantly) is he here to raise a family or to study!”) ALOUD- - I know nothing about it, Mr. L. (Thinking: That mid-year in Ethics is five days overdue—I’ve reminded him twice I shall report him to the dean— (startled by new thought) — Oh, it is the Dean's course (determinedly) I shall report him to the President--------”) One hundred riy ity-onc ALOUD— Get on to class, 1 am going to ring the hell, EXIT SENIORS TURNING TO ASSOCIATE DEAN: Will you watch the library and look after the telephone while I go up to take the roll. EXIT. ASSOCIATE DEAN CONTINUES READING, CHUCKLES AND MURMURS: Here's a dandy clinic in Anthropology that may be added to the roster. LIBRARIAN RETURNS FLUSHED, FLURRIED, AND INDIGNANT: MUT-TERING ALOUD: The pity of it no one understands- no one appreciates my sacrifice—students lock door, make noises, shuffle their feet, sit in wrong seats—and even teachers ridicule my efforts Associate Dean: But think of the good you are doing. If you do not need me now, . I believe I shall go. EXIT. ENTER DEAN. Librarian (happily): Oh, Doctor, I am so glad to see you—I have a short report to make--------- (looks around mysteriously and closes the d(x r cautiously). Dean: (Thinking: I wonder how long this is going to take- ) Librarian (takes a long breath and starts): Do you know that Dr. Blank was five minutes late this morning—and do you know that Dr. Space hasn't given a midyear yet—and do you know that Dr. Hiatus leaves his class off 11 minutes of the hour -and do you know that Seniors Numbers 5 and S8 questioned my authority—and do you know that some of the clerks leave after signing up tor clinics------” Dean (feigning notations of the report): (Thinking with astonishment: All in one breath, too—what a woman! ) Librarian (continuing in the same breath, becoming more animated): “And do you know that Seniors Numbers 35, .‘ 6, .'7, drive to school in their cars every morning and do you know that I am running short of test blanks- and do you know that while I was inspecting the wards 1 saw the Chief Resident correcting the Histories and the Physicals- isn't he usurping our power, Doctor? Dean: (Thinking of last Saturday night's card game—startled by the sudden silence.) What? Who? Yes! Yes! No! No! 1 shall make a note of it immediately. (Thinking: I wonder what she did say.’ ) Everything will be taken care of. EXIT. (Wearily thinking: When the new school is built the library will be on the roof so that I can get to the lecture room without enduring this any more. ) Librarian: Well, I have done my duty.

Latest Irish bull —Fear of sterility in Ireland. NOW GRANDPA, THINK HARD? WHEN DID YOUR BOWELS MOVE? If you had a thin dime for each time you asked a patient if, or when, his bowels moved, and you've been licensed for ten years, you could retire forever on the money. The bowels remain as always an inglorious but highly important subject for scientific ponderings. Hooker “Did you know some states prohibit the marriage of the feeble minded?” Myers—“Why, no, I thought we could get married anywhere.” There are, according to Mark Twain, two times at which men do not understand women and that is before marriage and after marriage. “Dr. Morgan. UNUSUAL RESULT OF STAB WOUND OF HEART Coxson describes a case in which, entering the chest cavity in this way, he slit the pericardium, turned it back and so approached a stab wound made with tailors' scissors, in the right auricle. This wound was about half an inch wide and the black blood spurted from it to a height of ten inches. He checked the hemorrhage with forceps and sewed up the wound with six stitches. The woman's pulse was soon normal, and within six months she bore a healthy baby. Buckley recently attended a temperance lecture. “If I led a donkey up to a pail of water and a pail of beer, which will he choose to drink?” queried the speaker. “The water.” replied Buckley. “Yes, and why?” “Because he is an ass,” was Buckley's reply. To remove a foreign body in the throat, tell the patient to assume the photographic position and tickle the anus with a chicken feather.

Earthly things grew hazy and the lights went out. Far out in the distance he saw an oasis on which grew three trees, there and there and there. The devil takes this calcified pituitary, he cried. His voice startled a small macrocephalic bacillus enteritis, who upon seeing the man’s marked exophthab mos fled into the desert crying, Thyroid thyroid. And all was quiet. “One dose of fluidextract of migraine will fix me up, he moaned. And while he suffered thus, three canoes came sailing serenely over the hot sands and he saw that they contained a pack of cigarettes, a case of beer, and Alice-in-Wonderland. Relief at last! Alice took the poor man’s hands in hers and softiy murmured, “I have a great big thymus. The case of beer withered her with an Argyll Robertson pupil and he openly boasted of his enlarged adrenals and his cry of exultation brought the others crowding around. Look at his tonsils, he has foci of infection there and there and there. Gracious. chanted the other two. But they completely overlooked his adrenals; so the dying man made them leave. If I only had a mouth and there was some water here I could drink. were his last words. Adams Stokes Syndrome did the autopsy and wrote up the case in the A M. A as a typical picture of Endocrine disturbance. But what the man really had was Volstead’s Disease. He was a medical student and he died brave and on his tombstone they wrote: He had a typical pituitary face. THE STORK STUTTERS Brenholtz— I hear your wife gave birth to triplets. Going to pass the cigars? Lowright No, I’m going to pass the hat. Bordin— Do you know what they do with their old shoulder blades in Persia? Brccher They shake them. Is she a paranoia precox, or is she a manifestation of early sex trauma, or is she a constitutional psychopathic inferior? I am not prepared to say. Newell- I’ve been window shopping. Brumbaugh— Whadda ya mean, window shopping? Newell— Why, looking in windows. Brumbaugh— That's silly. Nobody's going to bed this time of night CAN YOU RECALL YOUR PROFESSIONAL REACTION? 1. Young Mrs. Cadwallader comes in with lump in her breast. 2. Miss McSorlcy brings her Grandfather with a sore on his lip. 3. Cooney, the painter, has a bad belly ache. 4.

One hundred eighty'seven One hundred eightyaght NURSERY RHYMES Little Jerry Miller sat in an entry; A sweet little miss by his side; He put forth his arms and the best of his charms; But a kiss she would not provide. Little Jerry Miller then left the entry; He sat on his bed like thunder; With a mean dirty look he got out his book; And scratched off her telephone number. ODE TO MARY KEYSER You may sing your songs to a pie-eyed flapper With her form of a silhouette, Or drink your tea to your raven haired model, With her poise of a statuette, Your painted actress may have fine luring lines, And your heiress a healthy purse, But for all the charms of the world combined, Just give me a red-haired nurse. Heinie had a little hobby, At the tender age of four; And this hobby was a horsey Which he rode upon the floor.

But I'll be hanged if I know which one taught me the most. What do you make of this history. Dr. Oliensis. Laucr “It will be just too bad if Mcnzics ever gets sick, his folks have a Scotch doctor.-' Nycum “What has being Scotch got to do with it. Lauer—“He is so tight that he will never treat a patient.” Child (to Coxson who is making a long and careful examination of her spine) “If you are hunting for my tummy, it’s on the other side.” A negro cut off one of his toes while cutting wood. He went to a Miller's office to have the wound dressed and as Miller looked at it he asked: “Sam did you cut it off clean that way at one blow?” “Well now doctor,” replied Sam, do you think I'd take a second lick at it?” (P) in pneumonia is silent like the (P) in stricture. “Dr. Hammond.” Myers—“I think the patient has a cold.” Dr. Oliensis, define a cold.

Dr. Frick “Mr. Stickler, what are some of the etiological factors of cancer of the breasts?” Mr. Stickler Why irritation—say from a jagged tooth. And after the well known operation it must be a gland arid glorious feeling. Fair One— Do sit down, you've shown respect long enough. Snyder- - It isn't respect, Madame. It's a boil. BY ALL MEANS Mcnzies was sitting by his dying wife's bed-side. On the table at the head of the bed stood a lighted candle. He sat in silence for a long time until at length the door bell rang. Jennie, he said, I've got to go to the door. Do you hear me? The poor wife nodded feebly. I'll be gone but a few minutes, he said rising, but in the meantime if you feel yourself slipping, blow out the candle. Teacher— One more chance before I use the ruler. Now what great woman of the last century revealed the suffering and misery of her time in her letters? Dunn—“Lydia Pinkham.” Dear Dr. Cassidy: I received your letter about what I owes you. Now be pashent. i ain't forgot you, and as folks pays me I'll pay you, but if this was judgment day and you was no more prepared to meet your God than I am to meet your account, then you sure would go to Hell. Good-bye. John Smith. Dr. Robertson Sedentary work tends to lessen the endurance. Moyer In other words, the more one sits, the less one can stand. Dr. Robertson— Exactly, young man. And if one lies a great deal, one's standing is completely lost. Dr. Oliensis Please examine the patient and question him.

You've got to cut out one of them entirely. “All right, Dad, I'm willing,” replied the son, “Which one would you advise me cutting?” The Deacon thought in silence for a moment anil then he answered: “Son, you can drink all the whiskey you want when you get old.” Dr. Morgan—“Why don't you answer me?” Myers—“I did Doctor, 1 shook my head.

That the first Dispensing Optician started business in this city and other Dispensing Opticians have spread from here throughout the country, is a significant incident. The Guild of Prescription Opticians, a national organization of strictly Dispensing Opticians, also originated here. This has become an effective organization in educating the public to the importance of medical (Eve Physician) examination for the eyes. The close relationship between eye health and general health necessitates a very close contact between the Eye Physician and the Family Physician. Every Guild Optician sincerely asks your cooperation toward this end. £mlb of Prescription Opticians of Pfjilabelpfjia MEMBERS Mullen if Woi r Broad St. Station Budge Muller if Fin ton- 165 1 Chestnut Street William F.

Composition and uniformity of production are essential but what a milk modifier will do is of paramount importance, for uppermost in every physician’s mind is to use the best means at his command to help his baby patients. Mellin's Food acts upon the curd of milk, making it flaky, soft and easily digested, thus assuring complete protein digestion followed by normal bowel movements. (Infants fed on milk modified with Mcllin's Food are not troubled with constipation.) Mellin's Food increases carbohydrates in tin- highly assimilable form of maltose and dextrins. Mellin's Food adds mineral matter derived from wheat and barley and consisting of potassium, calcium, sodium, magnesium, phosphatic salts and iron, all in a form readily utilized for the development of bone structure and for the regulation of various functions of the body. Mel I in's Food fulfills every requirement of a milk modifier and its use is consistent with the evidence accumulated since the beginning of the study of the science of infant feeding. Mellin’s Food Company, 177 State Street, Boston, Mass.

Two hundred seventeen IEaVIEIEWIEILIL faculty IJ OUR years ago, we set foot upon a new territory and became surrounded by an IB entirely new enviornment, one of your own making. This was the dawn of a new day and the horizon of its setting sun would mean to us the realization of our life's long cherished dream. Soon the sun will set and we will be going out as members of your dignified profession into our respective communities to serve humanity and to protect and save it from disease in so far as we are able. You have unreluctantly and unselfishly sacrificed your time and practice to fulfill your duty. And as we go through this threshold of apprenticeship into the domain of practice, we realize that we will be looked upon as models of your molding and that we will be a measure of your judgment and a criterion of your success as teachers. Con' sequently we shall carry out your principles and counsels which have been cornerstones in our Temple of Learning. During the few years that we have spent together, your personal contact and learning have contained a wealth of lore which was by no means limited to medicine. Our first lesson was unselfishness, for all of you, professor and assistant, were always willing to give of your valuable time for the sake of your students. In all, our relationships have far exceeded our fondest dreams and imagination. You have treated us as man to man; you have given us friendship; you have imparted to us knowledge, useful and diversified; you have always received us most cordially. Our gratitude ior the hospitable and friendly greeting with which the Dean and the Assistant Dean have always shown us in time of trouble is beyond the power of our expression. The commencement will sign “finis to the many struggles and barriers which we have encountered and overcome in our successful attempt to reach our goal. This glorious event in our lives must be clouded and marred by an unavoidable incident. As we depart for our various destinations, we must leave you behind to carry on your noble work. Indeed we shall miss you; our loss will be manifold; no longer shall we cherish that daily personal contact which was a constant inspiration to us. We shall not have the privilege of listening to those eloquent and enthusiastic lectures, spiced with a bit of humor. And lest we forget, those unannounced examinations, sudden like lightning out of a clear sky, will be a memory ot the past. For when one was due how closely wc watched your every move; how eagerly we listened to every rumor, and when it was over what a relief it was. This form of sport must pass onto those that follow us. As we go forth to reap the benefits of our trying struggles, the only consolation for our four-year romance will lx an everlasting memory of you all. It will always be a source of pride and pleasure to look back in retrospect to our student days and the associations with you which they alforded us, for it was you who instilled into us the principles of the oath to which we must ever adhere. When Time who steals our years away Shall steal our pleasures t(x . The memory of the past will stay And half our joys renew. MOORE R. L. L., '29.
