Talk of your science! after all is aid, There’s nothing like a bare and shiny head; Age lends the graces that are sure to please; Folks want their doctors mouldy, like their cheese. —0. W. HolmesM.D., Rip Van Winkle Scranton, Pennsylvania, located in the heart of the coal region, was the birthplace of Joseph Med wick on March 6, 1914. After finishing high school there, he entered Franklin and Marshall College for a busy existence. Among his many activities, probably his chief contribution was to the athletic department. He chose medicine in preference to a professional football career. Summer hours have been spent in the out-doors, in building projects, highway construction and as camp doctor in northern Minnesota. At the close of his third year at Medical School, he went to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, for a junior interneship in the General Hospital. For senior duties, he goes to the Lancaster General Hospital in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. • 22 • JOSEPH X. MEDWICK

The only person to whom a Doctor can say exactly what he thinks about another Doctor is to his wife. That is why practically all Doctors are married. —Joyce Dennys This Connecticut Yankee was born June 12, 1916 in Danbury, the hat manufacturing center of the United States. It is probable that the creed of Horace Greeley was known in the Nutmeg State, for, in his formative years, Ward abandoned the safety of hearth and home to seek education at the Culver Military Academy in Culver, Indiana. Pre-medical training was sought at Dartmouth and Northwestern University. Inter-academic months were flavored by occupation as a pharmaceutical detail man. Phi Delta Theta was his undergraduate fraternity, and upon his arrival at Temple, he became identified with the Phi Chi's. He finds enjoyment in current events, bridge, photography, swimming and in pleasant domestic and social companionships with his child and charming wife who was Louise S. Nast before June 15, 1937. Junior interneship was obtained at the Danbury Hospital, Danbury, Connecticut, to which institution he will return for his senior service. WARD B. DeKLYM 21 •

The hospital is the only proper college in which to rear a true disciple of Aesculapius. —Abertheny JAMES W. HOSNER Born in New Kensington, Pennsylvania on May 30, 1916. Jim is the only member of his immediate family to attempt medicine as a career. He went to Kittanning High School and then to Allegheny College in Meadville, Pennsylvania. Here at Temple, as before, he distinguished himself by his constant application to work and the welcome sincerity he imparts to the study of his chosen profession. Last summer, he served a junior interneship at Temple University Hospital; he has employed much time in the accident dispensary repairing the assorted catastrophes which befall the citizenry of Philadelphia. Next year, he starts a two-year interneship at Temple Hospital; he hopes with that background he will someday become a general surgeon. • • 23 •
