Chance favors the prepared mind. —Louis Pasteur DELBERT B. MALLAMS His birthplace was Gilberton, Pennsylvania, November 6, 1915. While attending the High School at Ashland, Pennsylvania, Mallams met Dr. J. C. Biddle of the Ashland State Hospital, who started him thinking of medicine as a career. His college was Temple University, and spare time during that period was spent collecting stamps and working as a chemist in the United States Gypsum Company’s laboratory with rubber as his specific problem. His fraternity at Temple Medical is Phi Beta Pi. He returned to Ashland at the end of the junior year and worked in the Ashland State Hospital under Dr. Biddle. During his senior year, he became president of the Wright Dermatological Society. He goes to the Robert Packer Hospital in Sayre, Pennsylvania, hoping to become an orthopedic surgeon in the future. • • 14

Medical knowledge is taken too directly from source of life not to render him who possesses it more human. —E. Rist WILLIAM E. HUSS Sprang from the fertile soil of western Pennsylvania in the city of Lancaster on June 13, 1912. The first of his family to undertake the intensive training necessary for the practice of medicine, he completed the task of preparatory work at Franklin and Marshall College when he received the second and nineteenth alphabetical letters in 1934 after four industrious years. Work as a camp physician has occupied his summer time, and the Alpha Kappa Kappa Fraternity his extra-curricular time while at Temple Medical School. Next summer, he will begin senior duties at the Lancaster General Hospital. He intends to enter general practice, probably in his home town. • • 13

The patient dies while the physician sleeps. -Shakespeare, Luerece JOHM T. I LOYD, JR. Born in Philadelphia in 1916 one week after the birthday of the Great Emancipator. Early training in Atlantic City High School, where he won prizes in the lyric art, was followed by study at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut. There, choral singing, swimming and supervision of injured athletes furnished interesting diversions. Summers spent in divers hotel positions and a junior interneship at Warren State Hospital, Warren, Pennsylvania amply filled vacation time. He is a member of Alpha Tau Kappa Fraternity. Like his close friend Mallams, he also plans to enter the field of orthopedic surgery. Senior interneship will be taken in the Chestnut Hill Hospital, Philadelphia.
