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

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.

RAMSEY, II In the summer of 1915, Bryn Mawr became the birthplace of William Ramsey. Lower Merion High School in Ardmore provided him with sufficient credits to enter Duke University, Durham, North Carolina. In that tobacco country he found enough balmy days to play varsity tennis, eventually playing in the National Intercollegiate Tennis Tourney. He enjoys taking motion pictures and has many reels taken while vacationing in Maine, the Bahamas and elsewhere. In the Spring of 1940, he married Kathryn Williams. Bill goes to Robert Packer Hospital in Sayre, Pennsylvania, for senior interneship. Being somewhat interested in proctology, he may pursue further study in that field. • 27 •
