Pathology pushed gustily into spring. While the temptation to L e out in the sun grew daily, so did the number of slides and museum specimens. Dr. Peale seemed to sense our desire to go riding on the Wissahickon or to pitch ball on Ontario Street; and somehow, without mentioning it, he compensated us for it. But then. Dr. Peale could always help us with a difficult problem or keep us from feeling that all this work was futile. Subtly he proved to us that pathology, as Dr. Aegerter had promised, is the bridge between the pre-clinical and the clinical years. Me made us see that pathology is necessary to the practice of medicine. He helped us enjoy learning it. Spring rains and finals settled on us in Philadelphia.
