Nothing is more estimable than a physician who. having studied nature from his youth, knows the properties of the human body, the diseases that assail it, the remedies that will benefit it, exercises his art with caution and pays equal attention to the rich and poor. —Voltaire (1694-1778) A descendant of the sturdy Puritans, he was born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1911. His residence has recently been shifted to Philadelphia. He attended Castine High School in Maine, then entered Colby College just after the Rover Boys left. There, he helped edit the school publications, was interested in dramatics and graduated with an A.B. degree in 1936. He spent one summer as steward on a yacht and one year as a chemist for the State of Maine. At Temple, he has done clerical work, served as ambulance driver and has worked in the G. U. clinics for four years. He likes to putter about things mechanical in his spare time. In 1935, he married Rita Carrey, who is at the present a well-liked, capable member of the Temple corps of secretaries. The next year will be spent in the Delaware Hospital at Wilmington. LDWARD J.

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 •

Divide your attentions equally between books and men. Sir William Osier On March 5, 1915, Joe became a part of the population of Allentown, Pennsylvania. His preparatory work prior to college days at Temple University was taken at the Vineland High School in New- Jersey. While getting daily workouts in wrestling and freshman football, he found time to be a stage manager in Mitten Hall. Summers saw him gathering shekels by farming, truck driving and becoming rather adept at steam fitting. His hobby, carpentry, stood him in good stead while holding the position of house manager for the Phi Chi's during his senior year. At the end of his junior year he spent a summer on the traumatic surgery service of the Conemaugh Valley Memorial Hospital, Johnstown, Pennsylvania. He will probably interne in an army hospital and, having had eight years experience with the National Guard, will undoubtedly join the Army Medical Corps. JOSEPH H. REMO • 26
