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 •

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

Take back home a homesick person whose agonies have reduced him to a skeleton and he is quickly rejuvenated. —Schiller RAYMOND A. TAYLOR For ten history-making months in 1777, York, Pennsylvania was the National Capital. It became, much later, the birthplace of Raymond Taylor. Though no familial prototype existed, he chose medicine for his life's work. He attended York High School and then the ivy-covered halls of Gettysburg College. There he was a member of the Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity and perspired mentally with championship teams while basketball manager. So the world might be a better place to sit in, he spent his summers toiling industriously in a furniture factory owned and operated by the pater. Through a junior interneship in the York Hospital and the refreshing lectures and clinics of Dr. Thomas, he has developed an interest in Urology. He may go on into that field after a one-year service at the York Hospital. • • 24 •
