Dean, Temple University School of Medicine Congratulations! The road along which you have traveled has been long and arduous, and sometimes rough. However, it will enable you to become a member of a profession whose only reason for being is the preservation rather than the destruction of mankind. And now for the advice all classes expect to flow from the pen of their Dean. Always refrain from behavior which would reflect discreditably on the profession of medicine: develop those aspects of your personality which will make you a suitable person to appreciate and deserve the role you will play in community life as a physician. It is not enough for you to have developed a sensitive eye, ear and hand so that you may be skillful in the practice of inspection, percussion, auscultation and palpation. A successful physician must develop a sensitive personality as well, one that is skilled in the art of perception. Your patients will come from many different classes of people: people with different degrees of education and different cultural levels. You must be able to discern what sort of patients you are dealing with and be able to reflect their type of sensitivity with your own personality. A physician occupies a unique position. He is admitted to the intimacies of the home and for him the veil of dignity which shrouds a person's character must sometimes be lifted. A physician’s attitude must combine tact and understanding with a scientific lack of prejudice. Without these essentials a physician can never hope to gain sympathetic relation with many of his patients. In short, it is the responsibility of every physician, both new and old. to be a cultured, civilized person, in addition to being well-trained in medical sciences. My best wishes go with you for success in this biotic and atomic era of medicine which you are about to enter. Cordially yours. William N. Parkinson, Dean. 15 1 DEDICATION Michael Scott B.S.. M.D.. M.Sc. (Neurosurgery), F.A.C.S., F.I.C.S. We, the CLASS of 1950, are graduating, not at the end of an epoch, but rather into an era which is witnessing and participating in the greatest strides the science and art of medicine has ever known. The past fifty years have been illustrative of the problems accomplished and knowledge gained in all branches of medicine. Neurosurgery, as a specialty, encapsulates and typifies the gain in knowledge over that short span of years. Although its conception took place before 1900, neurosurgery's labor pains and birth did not begin until 1902 when Cushing’s first case of cerebral tumor was verified by autopsy. At this time, the neurosurgical operative mortality was a fantastic and chilling ninety per cent. [6] During the next twenty-five years, Cushing, by means of refined technique, lowered this catastrophic figure to thirty per cent. At the present time, the operative mortality is on the low side of five per cent. This drop has been accomplished by a host of medical and surgical aids, such as electro-cautery, antibiotics, hemostatic agents, better application of knowledge concerning anaesthesia, pre-operative and post-operative care, and last (but only for emphasis), men such as he who embodies neurosurgery to all of us. Dr. Michael Scott. Dr. Scott was born in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, on August 22, 1906. He was raised in these environs and one of his earliest contacts with medicine was during the war years when he worked as an errand boy on the wards of Base Hospital No. 20 in Fox Hills, Staten Island. This created an ambition whose first fruition occurred when he enrolled in the premedical course at Rutgers University in 1924. During this time, he was greatly influenced and helped by Dr. Nelson, the professor of zoology. Through personal advice and encouragement this man did much to crystallize the aims of the future neurosurgeon. Jefferson Medical College became the next step toward the goal of neurosurgery. Dr. Scott entered this school in the fall of 1928. During the summer vacations of his school years, he gained invaluable experience and training by working in the Trenton State Hospital for the Insane. These months further directed his aims toward neurology, neuropsychiatry. and the ultimate therapeutic goal of organic central nervous system disease: neurosurgery. Dr. Cotton, under whom Dr. Scott worked during this time, provided a humane approach to psychiatric problems through his beliefs that the mentally sick should be treated as those who had organic disease and not outlawed from society as had been the treatment in the past. His beliefs may be summarized in the quotation. The mentally ill are as you and 1 in their emotional reactions except that they have taken refuge in a single mechanism of defense. whereas you and I live utilizing and employing all mechanisms of defense.” Following graduation. Dr. Scott’s internship 171 was spent at Jersey City Medical Center where he met the future Mrs. Scott, whom he married in 1938. The next step was a residency at New Jersey State Hospital for Epileptics. This was one of the first of such institutions and the pattern has since been repeated in states throughout the country. Through his associations here. Dr. Scott came to know of l)r. Fay, who. at this time, was particularly interested in the surgical treatment of the convulsive state. Therefore, it seemed logical to apply for and be accepted as Dr. Fay's resident in neurosurgery. At the end of his residency, he received an M.Sc. in neurology and neurosurgery, and became Dr. Fay’s assistant. In 1943 Dr. Scott became associate professor in charge of the department of neurosurgery at Temple University Medical School. Thus, at thirty-seven, he found himself at the peak of his profession, engaged in the most exacting of the specialties. Dr. Scott thoroughly enjoys his neurological and neurosurgical work. He compares a C.N.S. lesion to a jig-saw puzzle where, in both, ap- parently meaningless pieces must be put together until finally the whole picture is clear. All signs, symptoms, and laboratory aids are put together to localize exactly the C.N.S. lesion. In neurosurgery. Dr. Scott has at hand an instrument with which he can do something for an apparently hopeless neurological problem. This relieves him of the tension involved in watching a hemiplegic child die by degrees. With his surgical skill, he is able to remove the offending agent and create a useful member of society out of the child. Dr. Scott feels that in the light of recent advances in neuroanatomy and neurophysiology, the future of neurosurgery lies broad and bright ahead. Although the busy day of a neurosurgeon allows little time for hobbies. Dr. Scott finds some part of each day to devote to his family. The Scotts have four children; Robert Michael, eight; Richard David, six; William Leonard, four; and Judith Ann, nine months. Dr. Scott further rounds out his off time by dabbling in photography and working in his machine shop. There were many things prompting us when 181 we chose to dedicate our book to Dr. Scott. He is an excellent clinician, surgeon, and lecturer. He is always willing to discuss a case, and no matter how obtuse the question, we arc always tactfully guided around our mistakes to the correct solution of a problem. His neurologic examinations are masterpieces of clinical observation and application of facts to the individual case, but we believe the characteristic which w ill make Dr. Scott live in our minds long years and many miles removed from this school is his patient-physician relationship. To the psychiatrist. it is rapport; to us it means his unfailing courtesy to a patient he is demonstrating in a clinic. It is the satisfaction in a patients voice after an interview with him and it is the identification which he has with every patient he sees. In this specialty, neurosurgery, with its at-tendent barrage of too many inoperable, un-resectable cases, he is the exact antithesis from the figure you would expect to find. With affection, with sincerity, and with compliments, we dedicate this book to Dr. Michael Scott. [9] Dr. A. J. Cohen One of the country's outstanding phthisiologists. Dr. Cohen practiced in Philadelphia for forty-five years. In addition to belonging to many medical societies, he founded Eagleville Sanitorium in 1909, with which Temple University Medical School maintains an affiliation. He was the author of numerous articles on chest diseases and was chairman of the tuberculosis committee of the Philadelphia County Medical Society from 1940 until this year. Our association with Dr. Cohen, though brief, was more than enough to establish him in our minds as a gentleman, an excellent clinician, and an outstanding teacher. It was with deep regret and a sense of personal loss that we learned of his death. MO] Dr. Theodore L. Chase Dr. Chase began his practice at 1604 Walnut Street, and was associated in research with the late Dr. John B. Deaver and Dr. Howard Kelly of Baltimore. He retired from active practice in 1933 and moved to Reno, Nevada. While Dr. Chase was known to only a few of us by sight, he was known to all of our class by reputation. As a benefactor of Temple University, he. in 1945, provided for the establishment of the Agnes Barr Chase Surgical Research Foundation in memory of his wife. It would be difficult to find a more fitting tribute. In dedicating this page to Dr. Chase, we mourn the passing of a fine surgeon and a noble spirit.

We assembled in the auditorium of Temple Medical School, perhaps knowing a familiar face of some friend in the upperclasses, perhaps being all alone. We found a rather small meeting place filled with people chatting, laughing, shaking hands, and eyeing the newcomers that had wandered into their midst. Suddenly the room became quiet as a distinguished-looking man strode to the front of the group and introduced himself as Dr. William Parkinson. He immediately dismissed the upperclassmen and then, in a friendly manner, chatted with us about our selection and of his faith in our ability and concluded by giving us our schedule. In a few minutes our classes had begun. Dr. Huber greeted us with a warm smile and introduced his associates; Drs. Weston, Moyer, Kim-mcl, and Bradley. These were the people who were to teach us Anatomy. These must be teachers who had a lot of intricate facts stored in their minds. Were we going to be able to grasp it all? Time would tell! Dr. Huber was most helpful to us by patiently pointing out the way through this confusing maze of things anatomical. His friendly and practical lectures, aimed at giving up a working outline of the subject to be covered, provided all of us with the basic facts, without which we could never have assimilated the mounting mass of material that is human anatomy. Dr. Weston dragged answers from us with endless questions such as, What is this nerve? What fibers docs it carry? From which nucleus does it come? Where is it going? All these and many more came from him to plague us con- stantly. And it was very rarely (or so it seemed) that we could heave a sigh of relief if he left without the cool glance of contempt or the brusque. You should have stayed in bed. which invariably followed a wrong answer. We soon learned, however, that the doctor's sharp sarcasms were seldom administered maliciously, but rather as prophylaxis against laziness. Dr. Kimmel will be remembered by many of us as the human rope. It is a wonder to all that he ever returned to normal after some of the shapes into which he twisted himself as he attempted to teach us embryology. But his sincere interest in the subject along with his obviously earnest desire to teach us in turn inspired his students to an interest and an earnest desire to learn. Dr. Bradley would cheerfully do some of your difficult dissections for you if you could borrow him from another table long enough. His ready interest in his students and his friendly, helpful attitude will cause us to remember him for a long time to come. Dr. Moyer? She was a ‘‘good Joe. Her slow, quiet manner of speech made her well thought of by everyone. She spoke our language, yet commanded our respect. Her mild observation. You might clean this up a bit.” concerning a dissection carelessly done, was sufficient rebuke to cause the immediate reapplication of probe and scalpel until the area under discussion met with her approval. We had our first contact with Biochemistry through Dr. Hamilton, the head of the department. A tall man with fine features and a quizzical expression, he spent about fifteen minutes explaining the course to us. Then, lo and behold, he had begun to lecture on carbohydrates. What a scramble for pencils and paper! Dr. Hamilton taught us throughout the year, not only Biochemistry. but an appreciation for Biochemistry and its place in clinical medicine. He earnestly endeavored, by insisting on exact technique in laboratory procedure and specific terminology in reports and written examinations, to develop within us the habits of careful observation and clear, concise expression, which are necessary to the doctor, be he practicing physician or research investigator. Dr. Robinson kept us busy with the theories and experiments of the “Dartmouth Group and the “New York Group. and put us almost on speaking terms with such of the great in Biochemistry as Van Slyke, himself. Dr. Deasy could always be counted on for a simple, easy-to-understand explanation for those things which we found confusing. She was a help in “lab. too, with her gentle prodding which led to our making correct observations from experiments done. In a few days our classes had become fairly routine, once we had located our classrooms in the seven story building. Tests came at frequent intervals and proved to be more than enough to keep us busy and six pages behind. Gradually, Dr. Robinson and Dr. Deasy added new information to our growing knowledge of Biochemistry. including animal proteins, blood and urine studies. . . . Anatomy was an extremely well organized and integrated course. Days in the laboratory seemed to slip by so rapidly that dissecting was no longer a chore. Dr. Weston continued to quiz us: Dr. Huber carefully explained the broncho-pulmonary segments; Or. Moyer insisted that the Histologic sections were really simple to describe; and Dr. Kimmel did his best to show that embryology was merely ontogeny repeating phytogeny. Nights in the laboratory, particularly before an exam, found most of us there with, perhaps, a sandwich and a radio to help the evening’s sand run through its hourglass. It wasn’t long before a new schedule loomed to confront us with more problems and also to signify the half-way mark in the first year. A dance at the Warwick Hotel had brought us closer together as a group. We met some of the wives and sweethearts that hadn't seemed to exist. The staff was well represented, and for one day, at least, medicine was not utmost in everyone's mind. It provided conversation for some time to come. On a Wednesday morning at eight o'clock, we met Dr. John Kolmer for a new course designed to correlate our basic science courses with clinical medicine. It was hard to get up an hour earlier, even once a week, but once we got to class there was never a dull moment. Dr. Kolmer’s animated lectures, sprinkled with stories, will never be forgotten. The “Halo of Good Medicine seemed to shine over his head. Psychiatry was. is. and will be a puzzle to sixty-five percent of the class. This is through no fault of the members of the faculty as their lectures were lucid and complete beyond those of most schools. The fault lies rather in the fact that we are psychologically directed to think along relatively simple factual lines instead of along the abstract lines of the scientific philosophy. Doctors English. Steele and Brody accomplished much in placing before the students the idea and framework of a dynamic preventive psychiatry. Dr. Oppenheimer introduced his staff and the new subject of Physiology at the end of January. I his seemed like a welcome addition, giving a little more variety in our diet. Yet it was difficult to see where we were going to get the extra time. With neuroanatomy and now neurophysiology, the nervous system suddenly assumed huge proportions. In addition to visceral and somatic efferent and afferent pathways with nuclei, we were confronted with terms such as spatial and temporal summation, adaptation, motor unit, unit tension, central excitatory state until we wondered how the simple act of pointing a finger could ever take place without a fuse blowing somewhere. Dr. Oppenheimer helped us keep abreast of this new course by giving spot quizzes each period. One never knew when he would be called upon to answer a question and it was best to be prepared. The “chief exemplified the attitude reflected by his entire department—that of a sincere interest in the student and an cver-ready desire to be of help to him. Dr. Greisheimer, with her usual poise and calm self-assurance, kept us well informed on the activities of each blood corpuscle. Her carefully outlined lecture notes and her objective examinations, designed to find out what the student knew, rather than what he did not know, were both a big help in the final analysis. Dr. Collins acquainted us with the physiology of the kidney, while Dr. Ring covered the mysteries of the cardio-vascular system for us. We soon discovered that Physiology was no snap. but. nevertheless, enjoyable and it was quite a few weeks before wc mastered all the weird instruments in those big glass laboratory desks. Richard showed us how to smoke a perfect drum. Dr. Greisheimer explained the setup of prisms and lenses. Dr. Ring took some of us into the side room and demonstrated the inner secrets of the electrokymograph (in fact, we were some of the first normals”). Dr. Sokalchuck could cannu-latc a dog's femoral slicker than a whistle and tell some good stories while doing it. Occasionally, we would get the misplaced notion that recreation still had a niche in the scheme of things. This meant taking in a basketball game, or maybe a venture to the Inn of the same name. Of course, somebody could always be found in Dave’s any night of the week. Easter vacation was in sight, and all of us were longing for a break. But first, we lined up in the X-Ray room to watch our own G.I. tracts function with the aid of fluoroscopy and barium car- bonate. It was quite an experience to watch with the radiologist the behavior of the normal living gastro-intcstinal tract as it was manipulated during the examination. We derived very different impressions concerning the anatomy in the living organism from those we had seen in cadavers. After Easter, it seemed as though we had this year in our hip pockets. The warm spring days made it difficult for us to concentrate on our seemingly dull routine. One such afternoon found the boys nonchalantly sliding down the fire escape from the lab, running for the street car, and olT to see the Phillies play at Shibc Park. They were easily given away by those big aluminum covers on the cadavers, but it was just this one afternoon. Exam time was thought to be far away, but it was upon us before we knew it. The material to be covered appeared mountainous, impossible to cover, and endless in extent. With further study, however, we were amazed at the amount which had been assimilated during the previous eight months. The current question thought of by all and voiced by many w-as, I wonder if I will be exempt from the Anatomy final. Only a day before the exam did the list go up and we crowded around to see it. A fine break for some, but most of us were resigned to our fates. The fourth of June finally arrived. What a happy day! We finished with our Chemistry final and heaved a sigh of relief. Plans for the summer were flying thick and fast. See you next fall,” was the by-word. How much we hoped in our hearts that it w-ould be true. We had all worked hard, accomplished more than we ever dreamed we could, and felt quite sure that the medical profession w'as our ticld. The years ahead would go much easier. 11 [83] TEMPLE UNIVERSITY—SCHOOL OF MEDICINE SOPHOMORE ROSTER. FIRST TRIMESTER. 1947-48 Classes begin 9 A. M.

COMMENCEMENT: June 17. 1948. 184] SOPiiOliOliE CLASS SEPTEMBER 22. 1947 It was with an optimistic air and a firm determination to settle down and really work this year” that we returned to Temple University Medical School to take our places as members of the Sophomore Class. This year we felt that we were more a part of the school. This year, with courses that allowed more clinical application. we felt as if we were much closer to care of the patient and medicine as visualized before medical school. Profs were no longer monitors to be regarded with fear and trepidation, but rather, fellow members of a brotherhood willing, yea, anxious, to initiate us into the mysteries of their order. We had one advantage this year; Physiology was not an entirely foreign subject. I he Chiefs attitude was still pleasant, though somewhat more demanding. Dr. Greisheimer’s lectures were as completely organized as ever. Without Kitty Weston's friendly help in laboratory, many of us would have perished by the wayside. And for comic relief as well as some real down to earth information, l)r. Sokalchuk proved to he our boy. Closely akin to Physiology was Dr. Livingston’s course in Pharmacology. It dilfered. however, by having an armamentarium consisting of bigger and better Kymographs, a textbook which could be read and even occasionally understood, new and different animals, and even more delicate equipment. Dr. Fellows showed us the technique of prescription writing in his own inimitable and witty way. Leisurely following, came Dr. Larson with the pharmacology of such peculiar things as calcium and magnesium ions. Testing the effect of various drugs upon each other brightened the outlook considerably in the laboratory, especially when the drug was alcohol. But unfortunately, there was little to brighten the outlook in the examination room. Practicals left us with paralyzed taste buds, written exams left us with paralyzed fingers, and orals left us with paralyzed sensoria. But. by some trick of fate, we managed to survive. Exposure to bacteriology provided us with the marks of distinction so necessary to each of the classes in medical school. We wore our singed eyebrows and purple fingertips with a sort of dignity. The odor of lvsol served as an identifying aroma, and our shock and tuberculin tests were displayed as campaign ribbons. Dr. Kolmer proved to be a man with whom to reckon in this department. With dramatic gestures and the proper tone of gravity, he elucidated upon the ubiquitous spirochete, being careful to interject his favorite anecdote at discreet intervals. We learned for all time that a Pullman restroom is a hell of a place to take a woman! But it was Dr. Spaulding who proved to us that it was impossible to beat the system by spotting exam questions. In labs, unknowns were handed out and followed through a maze of fermentation tubes, culture plates and stains to remain in the end as before—unknowns. We emerged still a bit awed by ail things bacteriological, but confident in the assurance that our antibody litres were well established. About the time we had settled down to an even keel, Dr. Gault emerged to confront us with a new and different group of patho- gens. the parasites. These creatures seemed to be endowed with some added qualities which gave them the edge over their associates from the plant world. Once exposed to the malarial parasite, we viewed the subject with a jaundiced eye. Knowing that they were animals, we credited them with the attribute of malicious intent. Not only did they give their hosts a hard time, but they gave us a hard time as well. Hematology loomed large upon the horizon, matched only by the hematomas on our arms after our virginal efforts at venipuncture. The clinical causes of leukopenia were memorized into oblivion, and Haycm's solution was inadvertently ingested by the gallon. Dr. Valentine demonstrated and identified, then recapitulated. We were left bleary-eyed, but undaunted. “Here is the text. I am on page ten. Catch me if you can. From that point on. Dr. Baker left us in an enveloping cloud of dust. The Chi square was his steed, and he galloped off at a terrific pace, flinging epithets in the form of probabilities, mean deviations, and bell-shaped curves. The end of the course found us panting at the foot of a mountain of square roots. However. the gods were good, and no mention of our deficiency crept into the record books. Dr. Mark met us once a week to expound the virtues of skillful physical diagnosis. We were impressed with the necessity of the subject, and the multitude of observations bearing men's names, but during a quiz period, finding a member of the class who knew the significance of Broadbent’s sign entailed calling the roll. Nevertheless, Wednesday afternoon found groups of six sophomore medical students converging on patients in Episcopal and Jewish Hospitals to test the observations and techniques gleaned from Mark and Major. Dr. Willson (with two l’s, please) quietly approached us one fine afternoon, and after recapitulating several weeks' worth of physiology of the menstrual cycle and endocrinology in the wink of an eye, proceeded to imbue us with deepest respect for his specialty and. incidentally, for himself. We learned that any female from six to ninety is potentially pregnant and. as such, must never be depended upon to tell the truth. We went through the cardinal movements and ingested our quart of milk a day. and in the end. we got up in the middle of the night to attend the smoothest deliveries ever observed. The Chief had given us an idol akin to Scmmclweiss. The department of medicine very unobtrusively presented us with a series of lectures introduced by Dr. Kern. Dr. Durant astounded us with his ability to present his subject directly, quietly, and in a friendly manner, and still get it across successfully. Dr. Lansbury gave us the lowdown on diabetes in a style destined to become familiar to all of us. The tongue is best kept inside the mouth, but on occasion may be shifted to the cheek with excellent results. We received our first taste of surgery flavored with Dr. Giambalvo’s spice and acid comments on interns who inadvertently cause precordial effusion by making adjustments on sternal infusions. This series of lectures gave us an exciting account of the surgical aspect of circulatory disease. gangrene, and the latest scoop on the treatment of burns. For a quick review of the body as a whole, we were indebted to Dr. Pritchard. We had met Dr. Pritchard the year before in freshman anatomy, so his little chuckle, followed by his battle cry next man, was not entirely strange to us when we missed a question in one of his oral quizzes. Many of us will long remember the mimeo- graphed outlines, which when filled out by the students, constituted our notes for the course; nor will we easily forget (although we did not even remotely understand) the little hieroglyphics to be found in their upper right-hand corner after they had been corrected and returned to us. On Tuesday afternoons between the hours of three and four, we shifted our attention from the soma to the psyche under the guidance of Dr. Eleanor Steele. This hour was conducted more informally than many of our classes, and loud and long were the discussions we had on the psychiatric problems which Dr. Steele presented for our consideration. And, of course, wc must not neglect to mention the psychiatric problems which we presented to Dr. Steele in the form of little autobiographic sketches under the title of Mechanisms of Defense. To tie in all that we had learned in our formal lectures, we met in Erny Amphitheatre two mornings a week with Dr. John Kolmer. Here, this great scientist in things medical and equally great artist in things human patiently pointed out, in the actual clinical cases he presented, how we could make the correct diagnosis, using the tools that had been given to us in the form of the basic science. It was from him, by watching the example he set in his contact with and presentation of his patients, that we first learned the so important fundamentals in approaching and dealing with our own patients—sincere interest in the patient, kindness toward him, and understanding of him and his problem. But with the onset of the third trimester, we really began bridging the gap between pre-clinical and clinical years. We began the study of Pathol- ogy. We were very quickly impressed with the amount of material to be covered in the course when we emerged from Dr. Aegerter’s first lecture with writer’s cramps and reams of notes. And we all silently agreed with Dr. Pete an hour or two later, when he tipped us off that this would probably be the hardest course we w'ould have in medical school, and that time to do it justice would not allow many evenings spent in the local moving picture theatre. With it all, however, there were Dr. Gault, who assured us at each micro exam that all that was required to do well was to keep calm and use our heads, and Dr. Peale, who had ever ready a hot tip on what the Chief would probably ask in the next written. It wasn’t long before we were running coatless across the street to the morgue in the basement of Brown building to witness our first post. It was with mixed emotions that wc entered that room. We were interested, true; but we weren’t so sure that this part of our medical education would sit so well with us. The very atmosphere of the room as we entered it didn't help much either—everything painted a cold gray-white; the icebox with its morbid contents in one corner; a sheet shivering at the open doorway across the room; the body on a slab in the center of the room illuminated by a single, cold, impersonal overhead light; the knives and cutting board in readiness—well, we’d see. . . . Interest, however, proved to be the dominant feeling in the long run, and it wasn’t long before the room and all else except the pathology involving the body before us, was forgotten. It seemed only a very short while before w-e had to return to the classroom and laboratory. We were sure of seeing some of the specimens again, though we often came upon them in a somewhat pickled condition, sealed in jars, and dis- played in state upon the tables and in the cabinets of the pathology museum. Here we would carefully inspect them with the guidance of Dr. Campbell and the green manual. And again, many of them would reappear in practical exams—much to our confusion. In addition to becoming familiar with the gross appearance of pathology, it was also required that we study the cellular detail of various pathologic entities. It was in an effort to learn this that we spent at least one hour every day and innumerable evenings in the micro lab. Here we gazed earnestly, but often blindly into a microscope while some member of the staff explained to us from the rostrum what we should be seeing. This work in the laboratory was augmented by an hour or two a week spent in the projection room with Dr. Rauer. Here typical slides were flashed on the screen and discussed among the group. Spending these hours in the dark, warm projection room made it not entirely a matter of speech to say that we “ate and slept ' pathology. Although we were sometimes tempted to snatch forty winks in the projection room, it was certainly not with an air of somnolence that we met each week with Dr. Gault or Dr. Aegertcr for conference. This hour was designed, we were told, to see that we read all the fine print in Boyd. And it must be said that no one doubted its efficacy. The Chief, with his insistent leading questions, prodded us into thinking and organizing our thoughts so that finally we would come up with the correct answer or a reasonable facsimile thereof. Snuffy’s questions often seemed to be a bit on the weird side, but after a bit of thought, it could be seen that they had much in the way of practical application, too. (Of course, he usually got weird answers in return, so that made us even.) All in all, it was a good course. We learned a lot of pathology: but. what is even more important. we had come to appreciate that pathology is. as Dr. Aegerter had told us. the bridge which connects the prc-clinical with the clinical years. And the Chief and his staff had certainly gone all out to make a well-constructed bridge and a strong one—one on which we would often depend in years to come. Finally, spring came to Philadelphia; and with it the pressure of final exams and National Boards settled heavily upon us. Then suddenly, with the signing of the last signature, the placing of the last period, the crossing of the last “T,” the pressure was lifted, and all looked bright again. The books were returned to their shelves for the summer; goodbyes were said; and we were off for a much-needed vacation. Only two more years to go!

[92] JlXiOit tt. ASS September 20, 1948 And then came the clinical phase of medicine. As we stepped out of the laboratory on to the wards, we soon came to realize that diagnoses did not drip out of pipettes or pop out of test tubes, that the diagnostic pivot man was not the technician. Here at last we were to learn to slide-rule the patients’ complaints and our own findings into a disease entity. Then too it w'as the beginning of the pen dynasty in which the Parkers and the Shcaffers were put to unspeakable hardships, not to say anything of the ear-weary savants on the other end. It all started on a post-Bacchanalian Monday morning when in fitful anticipation of being taken inside the gowned art. and introduced to the mystery and mastery, we were blithely told that the treatment ol appendicitis was appendectomy. This crushed us. But as the Rebel horde, captained by Drs. Burnett and Kosemond. spoke softly, convincingly, and wittily, we recognized that surgery was more than nimble fingers and a flashing scalpel—diagnosis was the thing! From gall-bladder to gangrene, through ulcers and Unna boots, the dawn patrol.” now fewer and sleepier, shivered in the Erny icebox. Notes piled. Then the human question mark appeared to set us all aright in things surgically minor. Dr. Caswell endeared himself with his mattcr-of-factncss and practicality, his sincerity and obvious ability. And then there was scar clinic” at P. G. H. A quick cigarette later we hustled back to behold the I ea. M-I Professor of Medicine, unmounted. With a commodorish mien and lordotic stance, we were navied through the tropics and the diseases prevalent therein. Dr. Kern, master etymologist, deserves every bit of the admiration and respect we all have for him. To a true teacher and man of accomplishment—doffed hats. Hard on the heels of the Chief came the living counterpart of the mental image one has when reading The Hippocratic Oath.” We had had a nodding acquaintance with Dr. Durant in our Sophomore year, but with the cardiac series we really came to appreciate the master diagnostician, quiet philosopher, and physician's physician. He will be remembered and admired as long as memory serves. We had a repeat performance by Dr. Lansbury as well. Although he dealt with creaky joints, his whimsical style was well-oiled. Notorious for his skepticism of new cure-alls—and rightfully so—he transfused us with this healthy demureness for which we offer a vote of thanks. We will go a long way before meeting a man with as keen a wit as has Dr. l.ansbury. We were now to meet a new face who was to add to our snowballing medicine notes, and to our paucity of know-how' about things renal. Dr. Gins-burg, the cool analyst, had no parallel when it came to interest in students and willingness to teach. During the course of the year we were taken on an extended tour from the “stomos to the proctos with Drs. Shay, Burke, and Swalm as able guides. They all contributed in their own inimitable way to a subject that sometimes had the vagueness of music and at others the precision of mathematics. We are grateful for their herculean efforts. And thus to the Medical staff, particularly the lesser characters in this panorama of stars, we wish to pay especial tribute. The pen falters when it attempts to treat of the excellence thereof. Our patients will be your patients, and the good that is wrought by us shall have been wrought by you. With interests whetted by masterful introductory lectures in our Sophomore year, we plunged into the pith of obstetrics. The same quasi-misogynist with the same idealism and perfectionistic manner continued with the same unruffled deliveries and obviously, doctor explanations for which we remember him best. Lectures were supplemented by an observation course during which we felt important because the Freshmen thought we were delivering babies—and so young! There is just something in Dr. Willson’s style that convinces one that here, indeed, is a man who knows of what he speaks. Sharing equally in the honors due the-bear-down-honey art is suave Dr. Beecham. Holding a long suit in wit. strength in competence, and honors in every phase of medical know-how. Beech has become our model for bedside manner and success. The remainder of the course was well rounded out by Drs. Alesbury, Forman, and especially Dr. Hoberman. Each contributed a weighty portion to our knowledge of those conditions peculiar to women. Where obstetrics ends and pediatrics begins has always been an enigma to medical students, and we were no exception. We began this human variation of veterinary medicine with some misgivings— not fully understanding how diagnoses could be made on bawling aphasic mortals. It was not long, however, before Dr. Nelson convinced us that it was possible. Brahman with his Bhagavad Gita crept into our lives somewhat surreptitiously, and before we were aware of it pediatrics was on the better side of completion and our notes were on the better side of nothing. It was here that we be- gan to abide by the Green Bible with hopes of making our peace with the powers that be. But with all attempted humor to the leeward we felt that pediatrics more than any other course needed to be supplemented generously with material outside the texts—and here is where Dr. Nelson was at his best. As he dropped each pearl of import, and faded out to a low, rumbling hum. waving his right hand in the blue, we knew he was circling for another run. In quick succession came Drs. Bartram, High, and Kendall, whose gentle manner and air of composure serves to qualify them as excellent prototypes for pediatricians in general. In brief reflection now on the curricularily” less important courses, we bring to mind the Saturday morning orthopedic hour. Handicapped somewhat by his site for instruction, Dr. Moore, nonetheless, inculcated the essentials of this all-fascinating subject in an unforgettable fashion. Never too busy to talk with a student, never selfish with his treasure of hard-earned knowledge, never satisfied with place or show in any undertaking—this is the incomparable Dr. Moore. We owe a debt of gratitude to Dr. Lachman as well. His ability to recognize the plight of the medical student as it pertained to perplexing problems in orthopedics stands alone. And then came the big step down to student level to make it all so clear— herein lay his true worth. From bones to nerves—from spasticity to flac-cidity and Dr. Gilpin. Sherm, with personality to waste, brought honor upon himself and his specialty with his kindness, thoroughness and affability. He disliked purely dogmatic lectures, but sat on the aversion and gave well-organized, practical lectures. With a patient at hand to demonstrate neurologic findings, he was unsurpassed in the pure science or in the art. We were all happy to sec Big Ed come bus- t tling in on those sleepy Tuesday mornings. He seemed to radiate his energy which did many of us much good. There seemed to be no subject on which Dr. Chamberlain could not discourse both entertainingly and informatively. We should like some day to hear him discuss The Nature of Things. It would doubtlessly be brilliant. We wish to sound an especial note of tribute for Dr. Michael Scott. Perhaps the E above high E for excellence will do. Excellence in choice of material, excellence in manner of presentation, excellence in all that passed during that valuable hour. Illustration was Dr. Scott's most powerful teaching device. And he was master of the technique. Discussing syndromes of the intermediate temporal cortex with apt demonstration, oncud ungerstod the dicafaitus inobting a misstory offen patients like this. We took our psychiatry in homeopathic doses in the cone room at P. G. H. With hot air blast- ing from beneath the seats and more bubbling up from the pit. it took more than we could muster to stay awake. The course started out with a bang and then began to fizzle. Dr. English held the first few sessions only to be replaced by Dr. Fried. The cryptic was confused by vagueness and the occult was complicated by ambiguity. During our short contact with medicine we had heard of a specialty that was quite lucrative, had a negligible mortality rate, and was not plagued by midnight emergencies. Dr. Wright, however, assured us forthwith that dermatology was not ail like bonuses and subsistence. We came to realize that it took years of looking to snap out a diagnosis on the macules and papules, the macular papules and papular macules. Dr. Wright's slide collection did much to give us a nodding acquaintance with the subject. From the diseases with strange sounding names wc passed on to the hush-hush afiliction about which we had heard all—we thought. Again Dr. Wright with well-selected slides telescoped the mass of material into a package we could easily carry. On Thursday afternoons we were shown the light about conditions ocular. The queen of the specialties was ushered in by Dr. Gibson whose point of the day was the vastness of the ophthalmologic field. We were soon forced to concede the point, that there was more there than met the eye. but as far as volume is concerned we're sure the internists would not be content with a close second. There was much in ophthalmology we thought very practical—especially the last twenty minutes of the course in which we were told how- to handle the ten most common ocular complaints that walk into a physician’s office. The neuro-ophthalmology section was interesting and a bit fascinating—like a crossword puzzle. But it’s a hard-earned living working crossword puzzles. At the other anatomic pole we found Drs. Conger and Bacon rubbing shoulders over the perineal body. On the leeward side was amiable, mild-mannered Dr. Conger who, with amazing alacrity, unfolded the intricacies of the pathologies to which the plumbing system falls heir. He was most capably supplemented by Dr. McCrca whose poignant wit and entertaining manner brought admiration from every quarter. Having knowledge of his many important contributions to the field of urology. his international renown, and talents in other spheres, we feel ill-equipped as dabblers in rhetoric to express our gratitude for the privilege of coming under his teaching. On the windward side was jet-propelled Dr. Bacon. His entrance into a lecture room converted its existing mood from that of a skipping rope to a violin string. He is the only man known to medical science whose age, weight, and systolic pressure add up to his B. M. R. Needless to say. Dr. Bacon covered a great deal of material in a most commendable fashion. We’re looking forward to further association with this fascinating, sizzling personality. We had heard of “Unde Matt” before the jovial otologist, with his sprightly walk and ear-to-ear smile, made his appearance, but we hadn't heard of his fame as a plastic surgeon, or his contributions to the advancement of otologic surgery. We found Dr. Ersner a very patient and accomplished teacher. The break in the endless stream of lectures came on Thursday and Friday mornings when we w'ent our several ways to stamp out disease at the Episcopal. Jewish, and Philadelphia General Hospitals. Episcopal was a fitting introduction to ward work in that it was casual and not ultra-scientific. Drs. Klemm and Manlovc didn't expect too much and got much less, but their faith in us was overwhelming. Up at Jewish we toed the line according to the Qucensbury rules and profited because ol it. The fine stafT took a sincere interest in their work for which we wish to send heartiest thanks. Of especial interest was the three-ring minstrel in which Dr. Doane was interlocutor and Drs. Kravitz and Adleman were endmen. During the extravaganza, in which, incidentally, a good bit of practical medicine was learned, one was expected to have such information as the name of the cow which had accidently immunized the milkmaid which in turn clued Dr. Jcnncr in his monumental discovery of smallpox vaccination. Of course the liegemen had the answers—all except the milkmaid’s phone number. Out at P. G. H.. under the able guidance of Drs. Hall. Bello, and Crosby, we had a well-organized, helpful clinical exposure. We learned a bit more than medicine here—we had a peek at impoverished, destitute humanity. I Hus through the countless hours in Frny and our clerkships about town we emerged more proficient. more competent, more mature. But it was not our efforts alone that made it so. No, the wreath of roses belongs to those men mentioned and the many more with whom we had more casual contact. It was these men who provided the stimulus and were the propogating force that nudged the pendulum without which it would hang in dismal suspense while its vibrant potential spent itself shaking the tireless hand of time.

COMMENCEMENT: June 15. 198] s i: ion (IsASS September 19, 1949 For all the infants it was a beginning, and for some of us it was. too. What belter place than the Grcatheart Ward to begin the long-ant cipated Senior year? I.ct 'em precipitate and you flunk the course!” thundered the residents. And so we comforted the primagravida and distrusted the multips. took countless blood pressure readings, and clocked innumerable fetal heart tones. At last the time was propitious and off to the delivery room we flew, in form-fitting scrub-suit with fetoscope intact, resembling some strange, worrisome, long-nosed insect. Here a whole new world of sterile technique and antisepsis prevailed, with hats and masks and many complex accoutrements, each requiring an involved ritual for its use and wear. Many pairs of gloves entered the sterilizer unworn until we mastered the intricacies of entering them. And it all looked so simple, too! After the skilled delivery of the head by the resident, to sit down (after carefully adjusting the stool by footwork alone), and guide the remainder of the process was an experience tinged anew with wonder each time. Of course, the precious placenta was not for our blundering elTorts. So important was it. in fact, that there were those who advocated throwing away the baby and keeping the placenta. A placenta in every home” was their battle-cry. Therefore we gladly resigned this all-important third Stage to capable hands. We soon became past masters at Crede's prophylaxis; no treacherous kid could give us the slip. To clamp or to tie, or perhaps to do both, then became the question. Baby firmly anchored in the incubator, wc changed gloves to assist in the repair. An hour of watchful waiting and then back to the ward. Now began the visits of proud papas and the girls” started to compare notes and statistics. To listen in on a ward conversation was often an education in itself. Now our work resolved itself into daily visits, sometimes at the most amazing hours, and the inevitable progress notes. Unfortunately, it was not all so simple and ward rounds revealed an occasional hypertensive or preeclamptic. Sometimes it was hard to know' whether to be alarmed about a really tremendous bulge or just to chalk it off as twins. There was also the before and after care, so across the Grand Canyon” we struggled to take more blood pressures and officiate as dietitians— and chastise for those extra pounds—and see that our girls” were all getting back into shape and to hear the latest wonderful things that the baby could do. A word, too, about the mysteries of pelvimetry and the occasional heart-breaks we saw in tumor clinic, and the never-to-be-forgotten D and C and biopsy.” Those new-born infants were quite the slippery characters so we spent a few' hours in the nursery picking up some bare essentials. It was amazing how they grew and prospered in a few short days. The move onward to St. Christopher's seemed to lit right into the scheme of things. A hospital for children only, with everything designed to scale; even Gulliver's travels could hardly compare! Rheumatic hearts and running cars! We hadn't realized that there w'ere so many ill children in the entire city of Philadelphia. The initial step is to gain the confidence of the patient.” Sometimes it took days of barking like a dog or imitating a locomotive on the upgrade. And sometimes the subtle approach had to be abandoned for the tough technique; a blunt, Lie down now and let me listen to you. How much to love 'em? Well, squeeze ’em but don’t break ’em. And here again a sterile technique demanding athetoid movements for its practice. And like as not the kids would get their peck of dirt in spite of us. And why wras the sixth such a picked-on year? More little people were six than any other age. Well-baby clinic was designed to keep them that way but it was a little batfling at first to find no pathology. However, we soon learned to appreciate the range of normal variation and became adept at increasing formulas and helping mommas solve many of the multitudinous problems of the growing child. The trip to “Muni showed us mumps en masse, and all those rashes which must be distinguished. Here we saw, too, the tediousness of life in an iron lung and the heartening encouragement provided by those who were slowly but steadfastly relearning the activity of paralyzed muscles. Little chest walls arc thin and we readily distinguished murmurs and even ventured to grade a few. Accompanying the vagaries of Philadelphia winter weather, the inevitable bronchitis and now fortunately rare pneumonia brought within hearing the elusive dry, moist, sybillant, musical, coarse, and fine rales, with a few ronchi now' and then for good measure. A fleeting glimpse at hematology, dermatology, and endocrinology with the “little people and several conferences each week rounded out the service. But no account of pediatrics could be complete without a passing nod to the outpatient service. We never saw a clean patient. Momma was always just about to put him in the tub when it happened. These were the evenings ’til eleven and it was never at all busy unless there happened to be an exam the next day. Six weeks in Lilliputia passed in a twinkling. Drink me,” said the morning cup of coffee, and, presto! like Alice, we once again were adult size and ready to grapple with the new strangeness and infinite variety of surgery. That vital adjunct to surgery, anesthesia, proved to be just what the patient ordered to allay his fears and calm him for the knife to come. A physical, emotional, and technical evaluation (paying special heed to the architecture, pumping system, and plumbing) was our assignment for each one. We might even call this a democratic service, for the patient was permitted a certain freedom of choice, within reason, and his individual limitations. Friendly, cooperative, quizzing brought us up to date on the book-larning, too. Onward to surgical assist, where we wandered all day in gloves and gowns. Aha! So this is why the surgeons still have skin left! Such a technique cut the necessary scrubs down to a bare minimum. Here again a new and formidable method to master. and the inevitable, occasional contamination, either careless or accidental, which must have sorely tried the souls of the staff men. Here, too, was technical skill and precision, some of that intense drama always linked to the operating room, and the very real physical exhaustion produced by hours of holding a retractor in just the right position. “Exposure, doctor Hand the sutures correctly. Strange that we should suddenly learn in one day what it had taken those efficient nurses months to master. And woe unto him. who, allowed to cut the suture ends, cut the sutures instead! Demonstrations were frequent, too, with everyone on the team stepping aside so the Senior student could palpate the part. Grand rounds on Babcock were just what the name implied. Long days and occasional nights were passed here and on IB, 2B, and the many other places where surgical patients sometimes mysteriously materialized. We thought we had become past masters and extra-proficient at historytaking. at sorting the wheat from the chaff, until that day which brought the patient who couldn't talk and we were forced to conduct a two-hour interview in writing. Worse still if Parkinsonism or paralysis were added to the complaints. Physicals were ours, too, plus the admission CBC and urinalysis. These latter introduced us to the lab. a place of cigarettes and chatter (especially on Thursdays, when speculation on the CPC of the week ran riot), of dimly-remembered techniques and reagents, of time stolen from ward-rounds and progress notes. Armed with our little black boxes, we set out to take the blood. And w-e did just that. Why, it was weeks before some of us could do a Hb. red and white, and diff from one stab. Occasionally the patient ran out of fingers to puncture and some of us contemplated attempting a cut-down. Late in the afternoon a few of us might be heard to mutter, I wish the patient would run dry or drop dead.” Of course, there were the inevitable ways to beat the racket. Grade the degree of cyanosis of the nailbed and multiply by the phase of the moon to get the hemoglobin. Choose a nice, round figure for the red count, calculate carefully backward so that the color index approached one, and there you have it. However, some of us, lacking several years' practice in speculation via the football pool and frat house bridge and poker, w'ere forced to do it the hard way. Outpatient w'as a veritable potpourri. G. U. was long on practical aspects, with a nod to prostatic palpation and much pleasant chit-chat about the illnesses that the water-works is heir to. Seven A.M. is an unearthly hour to be up and shaved and in a clean, white coat, even if it is only on Tuesdays. But so it was on orthopedics. Here we had the eternal history and physical, learned at last to see and interpret those X-ray findings which we had so politely agreed to last year in the relative opacity of the surgical amphitheater. Discussions centered mainly on the practical aspects of fracture therapy. We had a glimpse of hammers and chisels, buzz saws, plaster of Paris, and the three-piece band which often beguiles the kiddies while, from down-under, it bedevils the lecturers in Erny amphitheater. Ophthalmology seemed to have more equipment per square inch than any other department. Wonderful and complex gadgets, v ilh multitudes of lights and lenses bloomed amidst Snellen charts galore. Perimetry, eyegrounds. and crossed-eyes. When business was slack we ran through the gamut of tests on each other. Going from one extreme to the other, we progressed to rectal clinic. History and digitals were the routine and almost every patient was ’scoped. Medicine is certainly a specialized business these days. The mechanics of X-ray must be understood if interpretations are to be accurate, so a lecture scries on both these phases was a part of our exposure to things roentgenologic. We also attempted diagnoses and learned the uses and indications of the various types of X-ray therapy. Tumor clinic was, on the whole, a rather grim session. Most of the cases had multiple lesions, largely head and neck, and some had only half a face. Tumor conference was more general but still represented a saddening phase of the practice of medicine. Merry-Go-Round was certainly an apt title for the in-patient surgical specialties. As luck would have it, it seemed that the smallest groups were the busiest and were really run ragged at times, while those of us who had our full complement of six often found time to sneak home for a brief snooze. There was that lab work again and the inevitable histories and physicals. We could do them in our sleep, and this was the service where we sometimes did. Fortunately, calls in the middle of the night were rare and but dimly remembered on the morrow. As titled the nickname, daytimes required a certain amount of class-work and wardrounds. If variety be the spice of life then this was a well-seasoned twelve days. Several gynecology sessions, some practical work in putting on casts and reducing dislocations, a glimpse at T and As, a firsthand demonstration of those illusive pathological reflexes, and a sprinkling of proctology made each week complete. It may have been at times a rat-race, hut at least it never lacked interest. And so it was with mixed feelings that wc moved on to the accident dispensary. Here wc found practical everyday general practice experiences and felt perhaps more like real phystcians than wc had in any of our assignments. Cuts, burns, broken bones and broken heads aplenty were here. We became skilled at taking varying sized pieces of Philadelphia out of corneae and learned the very important business of suturing. Three days a week we visited compensation clinic and had our fill of redressings. Medical refers from our colleagues across the street came to us occasionally. Night work was optional, but undoubtedly provided a forecast of the internship to come. Actually, no accounting of the senior year could be complete without a passing nod to the four o’clock classes which we strove valiantly to drop in on occasionally. Attendance would dwindle gradually over a period of a few weeks and then would receive a sudden impetus and tranfusion when the recurrent rumor that the dean was upset and would take role filtered through to the chronic absentees. Monday was medicine’s day. Tuesday surgical specialties held sway. Wednesday was devoted to pediatrics and Thursday was the always intriguing CPC. Many volumes could be written, some of them containing bi arre and spectacular viewpoints previously unknown to science, containing only a fragment of the speculations ram-plant in the middle of the week. Some of the summaries had us licked before we started and our theme for the day became, “Why worry? It the big boys couldn't figure this one out. I'm sure ! can’t either. Surgery on Fridays threatened for a time to leave us with the biased opinion that nine out of every ten surgical emergencies was an acute gallbladder. Saturday’s three hours were full of variety. Boards of experts presented the latest on this and that and quite a few puzzling medical curiosities. As Spring—or a final exam—approached, these sessions were also unique for the absolute dearth of eager students in attendance. Those hour quiz sections daily at eight except Wednesday were a chore and failed to provide a painless review' of the subject for most of us. We lazy escapists preferred for the most part to either try and spot the questions, or, having carefully calculated the risks and probabilities, to stay at home in bed. Memorable was the day that one conscientious soul arrived, breathlessly toting a three-foot stack of papers, obviously his complete notes for the past four years, and inquired anxiously. “What’s today’s quiz on. huh?” This brought the well-deserved observation. “This is not a fifth-grade exercise. 1 know you can all read. How much do you know?” Now all that remained of the unknown was medicine. In-patient work here at Temple was rigorous, with lab work, daily ward rounds, progress notes and recopying of histories and physicals (providing one could anchor a resident for a few moments to check) absorbing most of the days and some of the nights. Curses on those patients who chose to arrive at 4:55 and necessitate our working into the night! Poor patients, we approached them with fear and trembling, knowing that a resident, an intern, and perhaps a chief had already seen and examined them. By the time our turns came they were either disgruntled or just plain exhausted. Medical annex was always full and many of the cases were fascinating clinical rarities that might never he seen again in fifty years of small-town practice. We hoped that to see them was never to forget them. Patients came from virtually every part of this country and sometimes even a foreign land. Occasionally one was very familiar and a little thought revealed that we had already seen this person in accident dispensary or OPD. At any rate, never a dull moment. Why. one day we had Mr. Washington and Mr. Jefferson both on the same ward! The multiple phases of medicine really became apparent to us as we began our service in outpatient clinics. Allergy and applied immunology required long and specific histories of the exact number of wheezes and sneezes and the administration of the all-important descnsitizalion shots. Careful histories and discussions of new patients occupied us in arthritis clinic. Night work was necessary and well worth while for cardiac clinic. Hasty hearts and terrible tickers galore. And that amazing machine which permitted us all to listen simultaneously while the chief chose just the proper site. That little room overflowed during diabetic clinic as two groups of us squeeezed in to oversee the checkup and almost invariably ask. Why haven’t you followed your diet?” The intriguing, exotic title of endocrine clinic promised many rare birds, but proved to be mostly too little or too much thyroid and was treated accordingly. Old folks with pernicious anemia comprised the larger portion of hematology clinic, with an occasional sickle cell case for variety. Shades of elementary physics! Adjusting that head-mirror was no laughing matter, especially when we blinded the patient instead of lighting up a larynx. Indirect laryngoscopy was a very ticklish business and the manipulation of nasal specula could certainly have been better accomplished by those lucky people who have six fingers. After two weeks, though, we peered with relative skill into ears, noses, and throats. A brief exposure to the many mechanisms of physiotherapy convinced us that every office should provide the patient with some sort of a “heat treatment, even if a Hubbard tank would take up a little too much space when we were just getting started. Friendly disagreement between X-ray, surgery, and medicine at Friday evening’s chest conferences convinced us that nothing in medicine is cut and dried and encouraged us to weigh opposing viewpoints. Headache seemed to be a frequent complaint in the neurology and neurosurgical clinics, where wc again did thorough examinations, with the emphasis, of course, on neurological findings. There were also CVAs and surgical followups to be seen and we marveled that some patients got along so well on only part of a brain. It was hard to believe that the “slap ’em and stick ’em technique in dermatology clinic made that penicillin painless, but the patients never winced. We saw a variety of lesions and learned that the old adage. When in doubt, biopsy had its place here also. New patients and informative discussions on analysis technique kept us busy in gastric clinic, with its location in medical annex lending some variety from the usual second floor, medical school.” The sessions in chest clinic brought us only a few patients, but left time for a really excellent course in interpretation of chest films. We ferreted out every detail, in order, and learned to properly distinguish and describe cavities and collapse. Those who had their in-patient medicine at PGH had a busy, varied service, with an amazing degree of pathology demonstrable. Conferences, with students presenting topics of interest, and ward walks rounded out the program. In rather marked contrast was the OPD service here at Temple, where the psychic overlay was so apparent in so many cases that some of us despaired of ever seeing a true organic medical case. However, things were certainly busy and very well organized (except for the sometimes cut-throat techniques employed in getting a check”) and we learned to do complete differentials and studies and recommend referrals. So many of the patients seen were in the older age group, as were a large proportion of those in the hospital, that it became apparent that geriatrics was an important part of today's medicine. Should it ever become a true specialty, someone could really clean-up! Well, that about covers it. July the first looms ever larger and these problems will be our problems, alone. Surgery and pediatrics, obstetrics and geriatrics. Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. An end and a beginning. Tomorrow a Strained Back The McDougalls Liz Doesn't Live Here A nymore Mop Mop The Becks and Fishels He Popped Serene The Old Brass Cooler Oh Somewhere the Sun Is Shining Smile Please Our Hostess, Mrs. Weston The A rzolas 1 ip Institute of Pnhliv Health anil Prunealive Metiivine In December, 1949, all friends of Temple University were delighted to learn that the Research Institute of Cutaneous Medicine, located at 2101 Pine Street, was merged with the School of Medicine, as the Institute of Public Health and Preventive Medicine, under the directorship of Professor John A. Kolmer. The Research Institute of Cutaneous Medicine was originally founded in 1912 by Drs. Jay F. Schamberg. John A. Kolmer and George W. Raiziss as the Dermatological Research Laboratories, which were housed in the former Philadelphia Polyclinic and College for Graduates in Medicine, under the patronage of Mr. Peter A. B. Widener until his death in 1914. In the meantime, these pioneer chemothcra-peutists, correctly surmising that the supply of salvarsan and neosalvarsan from Germany, for the treatment of syphilis and other spirochaetal diseases, would cease because of the first World War. succeeded in solving the secret of their preparation in 1914. As a result these laboratories were the sole or main source of supply of these valuable remedies in the United States during the war. which were supplied the Army, Navy, U. S. Public Health Service, and the civilian population at a greatly reduced cost. These activities eventually required the removal of the laboratories to a building at 1720 Lombard Street for adequate space and facilities. [ 108 1 After the payment of expenses all profits were carefully segregated by Drs. Schamberg. Kol-mer and Raiziss into a fund for the sole purpose of endowing medical research. In 1922. the laboratories were sold to the Abbott Company of Chicago and Dr. Raiziss resigned from the staff to enter the employ of the Abbott Company as chief chemist in charge of the production of chemotherapeutic compounds. Dr. Schamberg, Dr. Kolmer and Dr. Raiziss then purchased the building located at 2101 Pine Street and fitted it up for medical research. At that time, the name of the laboratories was changed to the Research Institute of Cutaneous Medicine which was incorporated by its Board of Trustees. Upon the lamentable death of Dr. Schamberg in 1934, Dr. Kolmer succeeded him as director of the Institute and president of its Board of Trustees. Under its constitution and by-laws the Board of Trustees was empowered, at any time, to transfer the endowment fund and other assets to a medical school for the sole purpose of medical research. Dr. Raiziss served as a member of the Board of Trustees until his death in 1946. which left Dr. Kolmer the sole survivor of the three creators of the endowment fund. Under the circumstances the Board of Trustees repeatedly requested him to submit a plan for merging the Institute with a medical school in the event of his death. In the autumn of 1949, Dean Parkinson requested Dr. Kolmer to reorganize the Department of Public Health and Preventive Medicine in the School of Medicine. After careful consideration. and with some reluctance. Dr. Kolmer accepted the task whereupon the Dean, who has devoted so many years of his professional career to the welfare and progress of the School of Medicine, ventured to suggest to Dr. Kolmer that the Research Institute of Cutaneous Medicine be merged with the School of Medicine as the Institute of Public Health and Preventive Medicine. This suggestion was accepted by Dr. Kolmer. Dr. Robert L. Johnson, president of Temple University, formally presented proposals for a merger which was legally accepted by the Board of Trustees of the Research Institute of Cutaneous Medicine on December 1. 1949. By the terms of the merger Temple University became the recipient of an endowment fund of over half a million dollars, along with the four-story building at 2101 Pine Street and all of its equipment, for the sole purpose of medical research, with Dr. Kolmer as director of the new Institute. Dr. Kolmer, who is Professor of Medicine in the School of Medicine and School of Dentistry of the University, is also head of the Department of Public Health and Preventive Medicine in the School of Medicine. Under his direction instruction in these subjects is given during all four years in the course of medicine, totalling more than 160 hours, which provides instruction in public health and preventive medicine comparable with the best in the United States.

Yates Mary Ellen Newton ......Miyoko I no u ye ......Rita Haeberlin ...Mary Lou Pooi.f.y ...Katharine Danley The Alpha Epsilon Chapter of Alpha Epsilon Iota, chartered two years ago, is already a true functioning unit in the environment of the medical school. Its activities center around the house at 1409-11 Ontario Street. Here arc housed twenty women medical students; meals are served; and the forty-two members hold their monthly meetings, parties, and open houses. The chapter organization, founded out of a need for a means of obtaining closer relationship between incoming and older students, has grown to fulfill this need in innumerable ways. The affiliation with the Grand Chapter further provides contact with other students and schools both in Philadelphia and across the country. Through outside speakers including the outstanding women doctors of the city the members are made to realize the broader fields of opportunity in research and practice which lie ahead. The cellar of the Chapter house has been turned into an entertainment room with colorful decorations by the members. In it were held several MIO] parties this year. The house was given a brand-new spinel piano, a most enjoyable asset. Eleven new members were pledged in October and entertained at the house. The Chapter sponsored the second annual concert by and for the medical school with great success. It featured many musically talented people, among them a men’s chorus and several soloists who were members of the student body or technical staff. I'ront Row, I. to tM. McKee. N. Henon, K.

Since that time AKK has achieved international standing with some forty- four active chapters in the United States and Canada. Beta Omicron Chapter was chartered at Temple on May 7, 1932. The present chapter house was purchased three years ago. A program of gradual improvement was immediately launched and at I 112 | the present time, the house is well on the way toward a complete renovation. New fixtures have been added as funds became available, the main project for this year being the purchase of a newer and larger television receiver. We have always been proud of the fact that our house is a strong and well-knit group. The selection of small pledge groups each year has served to keep our membership from becoming disorganized. Our comparatively small number leaves no room for the formation of individualistic groups among the brothers. We are also proud of the fact that those men in each class who have accepted our bids have consistently been men whom we are proud to call brother.” Top Kent. I. lo r.: J. Williamson. G. Akins, J.

By maintaining a strong feeling of fellowship, the members help one another and work together in an endeavor to see that all brothers have a successful year. As we believe, however, that a good doctor is one who lives a well-balanced life, out-social events arc more than just a place to get a “Saturday night beer. Consequently, our parties attract many welcome members of other fraternities. Our warm and friendly gatherings have proved to be educational (medically and otherwise) as well as enjoyable. The cooperation of the members is shown yearly as the appearance of the house is improved, and new and better equipment is added. The house now provides an attractive comfortable home for I IN) the students who live here, and a pleasant meeting place for all of our members. Our recreational activities, which include such pastimes as chess, cards, television, and ping pong, and our extensive library make it easy to work or play. With this spirit of brotherhood shown by our members, there are sure to be many improvements in the years to follow, and as we carry it into our future practices, our patients and communities will benefit.

In addition to (116) this, a program of having members present papers before the fraternity was initiated, and proved to be a valuable adjunct to fraternity activity. In keeping with our chapter tradition of being a well-integrated and progressive organization, the wives of the members have formed the Wives Club. which holds regular meetings, and which has provided the fraternity house with curtains and drapes, as well as invaluable assistance at such functions as buffet and alumni parties.

Greenfield Phi Delta Epsilon fraternity was founded in 1904, at Cornell University, by Dr. Aaron Brown and an ambitious group of students. Other chapters of the young fraternity were quickly formed and, after the first World War, it became a national organization. Sigma chapter was founded at Temple University Medical School in 1921. where it took firm roots, and has continued to thrive under the wise guidance of its graduates. At present, we have 36 active members in a closely knit organization, w'hose aims are good fellowship and scholarship; and we expect to induct 13 new men this year. Our house at 913 Spruce Street has been extensively remodeled through the aid of our alumni and now provides excellent facilities for meetings, dinners, and social functions of all sorts. Our year has been an active one with a full program of scientific meetings to w hich several of our distinguished faculty members have contributed generously of time and effort. The success of our parties this year was due largely to the work of genial Joe Ziegler, social chairman. The annual lectureship under the auspices of the national organization was as successful as in previous years and highlighted our fraternity year. We hope it will continue in the future to attract notable men in Medicine to speak before the faculty and student body. There is close cooperation between the four chapters of Phi Delta Epsilon in Philadelphia, and our exchange parties and cooperative dances provide some very pleasant hours.

The following evening in the dissecting room seven students worked a brachial plexus in an effort to understand the fine piece of nerve surgery done by Dr. Babcock the night before. Then and there, the idea of honoring this young and brilliant surgeon was conceived, and one month later, on October 9. 1907. the Babcock Surgical Society was born. It is a matter of pride to today’s student that he belongs to the only under-graduate medical society in the United States which has existed for forty-two years under its original name and with its original Patron still an operating surgeon. The year’s activities include a banquet and pic- f 124] nic by way of social outlet.

Far from the days of undergraduate labs we realize that we have fallen into the path of patience and accuracy our work requires. Behind us are the ever looming oral quizzes, exams, breakage fee records, and early morning blood rounds as the gates of graduation come from the distance. [131] Dr. John A. Kolmer I I32| li e Indicate “No clinical laboratory examination can be better than the thoroughness and skill with which it is conducted.” Even before we had met Dr. Kolmer personally, these words from his book. “Clinical Diagnosis by Laboratory Examinations,” impressed us immeasurably, and we knew that they would be a guide to us as medical technology students. Most of us first met Dr. Kolmer quite informally while he was having his morning coffee in Mrs. Lynch’s serology lab. Here he often gave us friendly bits of advice, and would always take the time to answer any questions we might have. Although we were never privileged to hear any of his lectures, Dr. Kolmer did act in a supervisory capacity to our courses in bacteriology and serology. How well we remember our first oral exam with him. More than slightly awestruck when we entered his fifth floor office, not knowing quite what to expect, each of us left with an everlasting admiration and respect for this man both as a teacher and as a person. John A. Kolmer was a pioneer in education and training of medical laboratory technologists, since he was one of the first (if not the first) in the United States to realize the grow ing need for well-trained technologists and to provide regular systematic courses of instruction in clinical pathology, bacteriology, serology, and blood chemistry in the Philadelphia Polyclinic and College for Graduates in Medicine in 1914. This course of instruction was continued when the Polyclinic was merged with the University of Pennsylvania as the Graduate School of Medicine in 1919. and it progressively improved until 1932 when Dr. Kolmer resigned from the University of Pennsylvania to become Professor of Medicine at Temple University. Since that time Dr. Kolmer has not been actively engaged in the training of medical technologists except in a supervisors position in bacteriology, parasitology. and serology, but his activity in this field has now covered a period of about thirty-six years. Dr. Kolmer has always been particularly active in medical research with the publication of over four hundred fifty articles on investigations in bacteriology, serology, immunology, chemotherapy. and medicine, and a number of books, including the technicians’ bible. Kolmer and Boerner's Approved Laboratory Technique. His impressive list of degrees—M. D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1908, D. P. H in 1914. and later M.S.. Sc.. LL.D.. and L.H.D. from Villanova, St. Joseph’s and LaSalle Colleges—and his many positions—Assistant Professor of Experimental Pathology, University of Pennsylvania, 1912-1919, Professor of Bacteriology and Pathology. Philadelphia Polyclinic and College for Graduates in Medicine. 1912-1919. Professor of Bacteriology and Pathology, University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Medicine. 1919-1932. Professor of Medicine, Temple University School of Medicine. 1932 to date. Professor of Medicine, Temple University School of Dentistry, 1934 to date. Director of the Research Institute of Cutaneous Medicine from 1934 to 1949 when the Institute was merged with Temple University School of Medicine as the Institute of Public Health and Preventive Medicine on December 1. 1949—all of these have made him nationally known, but to us he is known also by his personal attributes, as a beloved teacher and friend. To John A. Kolmer. in appreciation of his untiring efforts in behalf of us as Medical Laboratory Technologists, we dedicate our section of the 1950 Skull with the hope that this small gesture will in some way convey to him our deep esteem and gratitude. 1 133 1 Mary Ann Babos Mt.

Lost among ambitious chemistry majors and pre-meds we spent the next two years struggling through courses in chemistry, biology, math., German and various Liberal Art subjects. In our third year our professional training began at the Temple University Hospital and School of Medicine. It was September 1. 1948. Our class, nine students from Broad and Montgomery campus with four representing other colleges, met in the hospital in Miss McDonnell’s office. Little did wc know how often wc would be there again in our two year student course. Bewildered by the confusion surrounding us, we huddled in silence waiting for Miss “Mac” to spare us a moment from her many phone calls, directions to lost people in the corridors, and sorting of specimens. Soon a crew of upperclassmen straggled in—their acid eaten uniforms a shocking contrast to our new starched ones. Brief and friendly introductions followed, and we soon found ourselves being escorted each to one of the many medical laboratories. Free Saturday mornings, happy college vacations, and only sixteen semester hours a week were thrown out the window. Some of us were first welcomed in serology by Mrs. Lynch. We were all a little awkward for the first few' days, as if spirochetes were lurking everywhere. But soon we overcame our amazement at all the little test tubes, pipettes (why don’t they ever get mixed up?) and procedures, and began to understand the theories behind the tests w'e did — Kolmers. Kahns, Klines, heterophile antibodies and an increasing number of special complement-fixation tests. After three absorbing months, having survived Mrs. Lynch’s round table quizzes and Dr. Kol-mer’s oral, we left to go on to our next assignment. Hematology! Our freshman month seemed an endless procession of bleedings and coags, slides to be stained, hemoglobins to be read, pink slips to be charted, and pipettes to be washed (unfortunately to be broken also!). The second month we learned routine hematology— taking CBC’s. doing RBC’s and WBC’s, and the fundamentals of differentials. The techniques that seemed so difficult at first became second nature to us in our last two months, when we spent our “spare time learning to do hematocrits, reticulocytes, platelets and studying abnormal cells. Our next trip was around the comer to Blood Bank where we learned of such things as isoagglutinins, blocking antibodies and anti Rh. Realizing the responsibility of our work in crossing and typing and sending blood to the patients, we settled down diligently for our month’s stay. Leaving the blood and fruit juices but still in close contact with the OR wc went to learn tissue techniques in Histology. Here we were taught the processes of preparing surgical specimens for cutting, and became proficient in the use of the microtome. We also became acquainted with special staining procedures and frozen sections. Behind the scenes wc made “paper boats. dried slides and gazed at surgery in progress across the street. Down the hall Bacteriology claimed us next. Culturing sputum for TB was the freshman’s job. A seat at the binocular scope became our chief post as we searched field by field each acid fast stained smear for fifteen endless minutes. Blood culturing, preparing autogenous vaccines and blowing the lids off anaerobic jars identified us as juniors. Going into the final stretch with our weekly quizzes becoming daily we progressed to the identification of bacteria through reading plates, culturing, examining smears and setting up biochemical tests. Our oral with Dr. Kolmer. our written exam, paper and notebook meant the end of three hard but wonderful months. To learn the identification of those little run things about which Dr. Gault and Mr. Lamberti had long lectured to us, we arrived in Parasitology. This is the lab where the specimens arrive in those well-known containers . . . where we learned to make malarial slides . . . spent hours over boxes of slides . . . and became chief assistants to guinea pig inocculations. Chemistry took us back to blood work. Commuting students saw the dawn when they found themselves in Medical Annex making blood rounds before the lab opened for the day. Being able to skip the dishwashing (Inez has the job), we started with the innumerable tests, among them blood sugars, BUN’s, chlorides, “pouscs and pases,” cholesterols and those inevitable 4:30 p.m. spinal fluid proteins. By the end of our four months we realized how interesting and exciting chemistry was in spite of the constantly ringing phone and the centrifuge spinning at its noisiest speed, but we had to move on. Down on the first floor hidden behind the clinic we found Urinalysis. In this surprisingly odorless place our days were filled with routine Ua’s, glucose tolerances, PSP’s and Mosenthals, while for diversion we did venipunctures on clinic patients and set up sed. rates. Practically veterans with only two months left we moved across the street to the G.I. clinic. Castries has few memories. Here with the gas- tric washings and biliary drainages many a technician turned green with the patient. Yes, this lab touched all our delicate senses. Not just one needle stick per patient but rows of them! That was allergy. Here again we made patients miserable and had babies crying at the very sight of us. It was somewhat difficult to make people understand that all those holes in their arms are really for their own good! And so our training has ended. We are no longer students, but full-fledged technologists. It is with great gratitude that we thank all our instructors for their help, guidance and patience. FLORENCE I . MrllONNELL Our “Miss .Mac” The perpetually busy office in the hospital basement has been a “home” to every class of technicians Temple Hospital has seen—and it is that because of one person, Florence P. McDonnell. officially the laboratory secretary, but simply “Miss Mac” to us. There isn’t one of us who hasn’t at some time gone running to Miss Mac because “she'll know what to do,” whether it be a headache, need of a job, or some difficulty in the lab. For twenty years (she came here in 1930 with Dr. Frank Konzelman. who started Temple’s course in Medical Technology) Miss Mac has been indefatigable in her efforts to make “her girls” happy in their work. Her personalized terms—stat emergencies, abominable pains, spindle fluids, and hematocritters— have become passwords with us. and even more, her very presence has become habit—one which we would be loath to break. An acknowledgment in our yearbook is the least we can give Miss Mac to show her how much we appreciate the countless little things she has done for all of us—but more than that, how much we value just having her as a friend.

I wish I could again have the opportunity of working with you as graduates. However, I know that some of you will continue your education by going to college. Others will go into specialized nursing.

Prior to this, she was Assistant to the Dean of Temple University Hospital from 1944-1946. Miss Weston left us for a short time to become Clinical Supervisor from 1946-1948 at Dr. Weston’s Clinic in Fairbanks, Alaska. She returned to take the position of Assistant Night Supervisor of Temple University Hospital for one year. In June of 1949, she became Assistant Director of Nursing.

White, R.N., B.A. Jefferson School of Nursing EDUCATIONAL DIRECTRESS: Through the three years of our training, one person above all others has stood as a guiding light to beckon us onward when discouragement faced us. It was to our educational directress, Miss White, that we often looked with assurance. Miss White equally combined the crisp efficiency of the professional nurse with the sincerity and understanding necessary in the vocation to form the integrated whole we so admired. Many were the times her timely advice concerning discouragement has stood us in good stead. As we now approach the coveted goal of graduation and finishing day, we can feel that we have truly attained something worthwhile— skill in the care of precious human lives. Any competence wc may have gained therein has grown only from the theoretical basis instilled in us by Miss White. To you. Miss White, we offer our deepest appreciation and gratitude for your perserver-ance with us to make us finally realize our new titles—the graduate nurses of today. (LJTq.) Ships Instructors Educational Staff The theoretical side of our training plus a host of practical applications were passed on to our class by the members of the educational staff. During the famed days of our apprenticeship (probic days), a few of the secrets of the profession were revealed to us and the fields of nursing and medicine became less mysterious in the horizon. Each class bloc found us a little wiser than previously, due to the sound foundation with practical work behind us. To thee, educational staff, the members of the class of '50 extend their many thanks for all your efforts and time. I 152] sums MXSTRl € TORS EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT l.eft to right: Miss Miller.

We thought Miss Baidawski too competent, just, hardworking and firm, but after the last year, we began to appreciate the qualities that have made her a supervisor and our adviser. She was skilled and she taught us well. Work for her seemed easier because it was well planned and she was quick to praise a job well done. She gave us wide rein in our activities, yet, we knew that we could not fail our trust. The class found in Miss Baldawski not only an adviser, but a fine example of a devoted nurse. We thank her for a job well done. f 156] Miss Ethel R. Smith, R.N. Philadelphia General Hospital Our former Director of Nursing. Miss Ethel R. Smith, will long remain one of our memories of T. U. H. Miss Smith, a graduate of Philadelphia General Hospital, came to Temple as a Nursing Arts Instructor and later, in 1946, became Director of Nursing. During those three years, we became well acquainted with our charming, often witty and humorous director. Being a firm believer in student council and holding a liberal attitude toward privileges, with a keen interest in activities, she did much to aid the functioning of our student council. Always willing with a word of advice and encouragement. Miss Smith made her way to our hearts. In November. 1949, she resigned her position as director and now supervises our beautiful new psychiatric department. Thank you. Miss Smith, for all you have done toward making these three years one to remember.

She has remained in the background with her quiet dignity, but has given much of her time in our behalf and has contributed a great deal to our comfort.

No special plans arc decided on: however, our best wishes go with you, Ann. Elizabeth Mischkulnig 1603 Albert Street Youngstown. Ohio Tall, blonde and sweet—Beth has a personality and charm none of us will ever forget. Conscientious and sincere, possessing that much desired way with children, she will go far in her chosen field of school nursing. Her skill in sketching and sewing can't be beaten.

Although she is undecided as to future plans, whatever she undertakes will be done in the same efficient way. i J Renee Mortimer 1107-A West Norwegian Street Pottsviile, Pennsylvania The city of Pottsviile gave us Renee, whom we will all remember for her gift of gab. Who could ever forget those posters for our many and sundry dances, initialed “R.M.”? We don’t have to tell you that sketching is a hobby with her. Favorite sports are ice-skating and swimming. As a school nurse, we know she will be good and the students at P.H.S. will be healthier in the future. I 192) Dorothy K. Moses 1722 North 62nd Street Philadelphia, Pennsylvania One of the other local gals of the class of ’50, “Dusty never seems to lose her Ocean City tan (must be psychological). Incidentally, her plans for the future include work only in the winter, the summers to be spent relaxing on the beach. Sounds good. Dusty! Lois Petersen Pleasant Road Warren. Pennsylvania Blonde, vivacious Lois was a brilliant figure during her three years at T.U.H. Athletically inclined, she was one of the best and most eager basketball players. Bowling, swimming, and dancing, not to mention writing letters to Penn State, claimed most of her time. Although her future remains undecided, success will surely follow whatever path she chooses. [193] Natalie Picarella Every class has its “last minute Sue. We claim Sis a$ our Sue. She has taken a good hit of teasing about this, but just as good-naturedly as she docs everything else. She’s our “Sis —as sweet, good natured, and as cheerful as can be. A wit, too; she's quite a poet. Could we ever forget those snappy poems she’s continually putting together? She is the life of any party—always there with her ever-present wit and humor. Future plans right now are undecided. but we know Sis will do well in whatever she chooses. At£ Shirley Marie Rohrbaugh 1932 Mulberry Street Harrisburg, Pennsylvariia When you hear a giggle ripple down the corridor, you may be sure the source is smiling Shirley. Dispensing charm and good humor, she possesses that quality that makes her liked by all. Interested in music, she seldom missed Glee Club rehearsal. Sparc moments arc spent in knitting, reading or swimming. Plans as to the future are indefinite. I 194 J Marik Louise Rossi 594 West Maple Street Hazleton, Pennsylvania Marie claims her ancestry is of Tyrolean lineage and proves it by making the best spaghetti at Tioga House. The stacks of photos and the albums bursting at the seams tell us that Marie is a photography fiend. Bowling and reading the latest best-sellers are other hobbies. Future plans arc undecided, but wherever Marie goes, we arc sure that success will follow the “little one.” Leona Rufus Frack ville, Pennsylvania Lee came to us from Temple University. One of the few blondes in our class, she can easily be distinguished in a crowd at a football game where she roots for her favorite teams—F.H.S. and T.U. Her plans for the future are indefinite. YVe know she is contemplating teaching, but the Navy also looks attractive. Whatever it is—teaching or Anchors Aweigh—we wish I.ee-ona all the luck and success the future can bring. [ 195 j Rita L. Sai.icco 707 Mulberry Street Williamsport. Pennsylvania A combination of slimness, dark hair, and dancing dark eyes describes Rita. That, plus a sense of humor words cannot express, makes this charming classmate one we’ll never forget. Her favorite pastime includes dramatics, which is a natural for Rita, or listening to classical music. Her plans arc indefinite, but she will be a success in whatever she chooses. Imogene Sell Royersford, Pennsylvania Just a few of I mo’s many assets arc those dark eyes, dark hair, and that sweet smile. Although appearing to be quite reserved. Imo has a devilish twinkle in her eyes, and a dry, spontaneous sort of humor. Stage plays appeal to her. The Navy is most likely to claim our “Imo after graduation. On deck, all ye hands! [196] Jeanne Shaffer 407 Wiconisco Street Harrisburg, Pennsylvania One of the most poised members of the class of '50 is our blonde-haired, fair-skinned Jeannie. who made her way gracefully through her years at T.U.H. Her trim figure, well-cut features and versatility were well displayed, be it on the basketball court, dance floor, or the floors of the hospital. After finishing, Jeanne hopes to further her education. Ann Shank a 1211 Undid A venue Bristol, Virginia Quiet, at first, but look again. Our Ann. with her Southern accent and her amiable disposition, is liked by all. “Calm down. Take your time and things will go smoothly. is her motto. Going to the show with Rita is her favorite pastime. After graduation, we shall see her pack her bags and. much to our regret, she will board a train for the Sunny South and home. Good luck, “you-all, and may that train go straight to happiness and success. [197] Barbara Sharosky Harrisburg, Pennsylvania “Bobbie. short in stature, can compete with all. She is one who possesses a creative mind and the ability to put down in paints her ideas for others to admire. Up to the minute on the latest styles and gossip, plus a keen sense of humor, are a few of Bobbie’s assets. Undecided as to future plans, wc wish our Bobbie loads of luck in whatever she chooses. Elsie Marie Shaulis R. D. No. 1 Stoystown, Pennsylvania A real country gal is Els,” hailing from the metropolis of Stoystown. Elsie, a fun-loving girl with a contagious laugh, possesses a glowing face and eyes that twinkle when she releases one of her radiant smiles. After graduation, she is heading for the hills of home. 1193] Lucille Snavely Manheirn, Pennsylvania Lu” has been a true friend at all times. Her sympathetic nature and deep understanding of people have certainly been some of her outstanding characteristics. Lu” says her hobby is listening to music. As an O.R. scrub nurse, we know she’ll be a great success. V Dolores Marie Soroka 1708 Third Avenue A mold. Pennsylvan ia Arnold—near Pittsburgh—that's Dolly's home. Being so far away from home hasn’t dampened her spirits, or her sense of humor. As a mimic, she is tops, and so is her pseudo-Italian accent. Her many activities include the Glee Club. Business Staff of the Skull, and her hobby, needlepoint. As a scrub nurse, Dolly will make some surgeon very happy at his work. I 199] Jane Ellen Sprague 18 Curiis Avenue Manasquan. New Jersey Quiet and understanding. It’s always been a pleasure to relax and talk with Janie. Her patients must certainly be among the contented. Nursing is surely the career in which Janie has gone far and will continue to advance. Jane likes good music and traveling. She plans to do post-graduate work at the Wills Eye Hospital. Carol Stickler 72 East Walnut Street Kihgston. Pennsylvania Red headed, spirited, with a temper to match her hair, that’s Carol. Her hobby is collecting hankies, which we know she is planning to wear with her whites.” As a member of the Glee Club and the year book staff, Carol showed her worth. Having no plans for the future, we know that she will be a success wherever she goes. [200] Leona A. Strike 337 West Fourth Street Mt. Carmel. Pennsylvania Quiet as a mouse is our Lee, and she claims no hobby holds her interest. Being one of the best nurses our class can boast is reason enough for the lack of hobbies. She excels in swimming and this was proven in our trips to the T.U. pool as probies. College and a B.S. degree are her plans. Some nursing school will know Leona as a capable instructor. Shirley R. Stutzman ShoemakersviUe, Pennsylvania Hear that merry laugh? Search all you want—the source can be traced right to Shirley. Add a seriousness about her career and you have a fine nurse. Her hobbies are bicycle riding and playing the piano. I’ost-graduatc plans center around industrial nursing. Lucky the industry that claims our Shirley as its nurse.

Post-graduate plans for her are to stay here at Temple. Beatrice Walizer Lock Haven, Pennsylvania A blithe spirit describes our Betty perfectly. She’s another of T.U.H.'s petite, cheerful nurses—a kind word for all. She has a knack for sewing and her wardrobe proves it. Reading is another of her hobbies, and glee club, also, claims part of her leisure. Her plans arc indefinite, but we all wish her success in whatever she docs. Wc know she’ll do well. 1202] Nancy Marie Wright Elizabethtown. Pennsylvania Possessor of a freckled face and the gift of gab is Nan. one of the more talented ones in the class. She surely has an artistic touch in making posters. A lover of the outdoors, including our sunfilled roof, she enjoys all sports. Her main ambition is to become a social worker. Good luck. Nan! Names, addresses, and pictures have been arranged in this, the Skull of 1950. but never will we be able to put in print the unusual, outstanding qualities of the members of the Class of ’50. Each girl, a completely different personality, with a “heart of gold (even though it did become a little heavy at times), seemed able to carry the responsibility of one much older in years. We have been classmates, roommates, or the “kids across the hall for three years and we find it difficult to express our feelings toward each other, but at this time, we would like to wish the best of luck to all— I. Miller—P. Hughes Co-Editors [ 203 1 log or rut: s. s. student nurse CLASS HISTORY by Annetta Kutzmire “And See! She Stirs! She starts—She moves—She seems to feel, The thrill of life along her keel, And, spurning with her foot the ground, With one exulting joyous bound, She leaps into the ocean's arms” Oliver W. Holmes frightened girls, giggling and laughing to cover the fear and dread which lay in each of our hearts. We were greeted by a group of “Customs Officers” who were not as foreboding as they looked. Our passports and credentials were found in order. One hundred dollars was handed to the customs officers and we were ready to weigh anchor as apprentices or—“probies.” As apprentices, we learned the ways and means of the profession. Then came classes—Anatomy, the human body has 216 bones; Chemistry, the compound for water is H.O; Microbiology, a filtrable virus From all walks of life, from high schools, colleges, offices, jobs, we came together ninety strong—to begin our voyage of training. Some enthusiastic, some indifferent, we, on the day of September 15th. 1947, sailed as a ship into the life of a student nurse. We stopped at many ports, spent many days on troubled waters, and finally sailed forth into calm, clear waters— our dock, our goal. R.N.! We would like to bring you a few highlights of that voyage. Our ports of embarkation were Allegheny Avenue and Carlisle Street. There, two ships were anchored — the good ships. Allegheny House and Carlisle House. We converged en masse! Up the gangplanks came crowds of [2041 will pass through a porcelain filter; and Nursing Arts, a bath blanket is always used in giving a bed bath. We spent hours, days and nights cramming our poor brains with these strange new facts. We had a first day on the floors, too. Suicide, fainting, anything to prevent that horrible fate was contemplated, but we went. Correct technique, proper procedure, we excelled in all. We went on working and learning until that wonderful day, February 29th, 1948, when we came to the port of Capping. As we recited the Florence Nightingale Pledge, the lights from the lamps were minute as compared to the flames which were kindled in our souls. We hoped to lead a life of service and kindness as our leader, Florence Nightingale. Embarking again, the white caps held high on our heads as proud sails in the wind, we. juniors were heading for the Port of Intermediates. First, we earned our bibs by the proper pouring of medications and by giving that first “hypo” which hurt the giver more than the receiver. Then came those dark and troubled waters of 2:30-11 relief, when everything seemed to happen at 10:45, an admission; a “D.O.”; or an interne coming to start an and those last minute pre-op enemas. Many things happened, but we weathered the storm gaining new knowledge with each passing day. We went to class again—first Bloc including the subjects of Surgery, Medicine, Hygiene, Sanitation, and many other subjects we never knew existed. Many the puzzled expressions after Miss White’s Saturday morning exam were exchanged for a glad smile as we boarded trains and busses for a weekend at home. We don’t want you to believe that our voyage was all work and no play,—on the contrary, Senior Farewell Formal of 1949 at the Broadwood Hotel was rated as one of the best affairs of the year. Back to work again, we went to the O.R. Circulating-Scrubbing-Suturing. Scalpel. Sponge, A.P.P.S.. Pan Hysterectomy: the sudden w hiz of a hemostat past one’s ear when circulating for Dr. Moore;—the first sponge count with Miss Dill; the saline strips for the first craniotomy; the creaking of the amphitheater door in the dead of night; those preps with soap and a dull razor. There again, we weathered the storm and came into calm waters with a good sense of sterile technique; but the still waters and little wind were only the calm before the storm of night duty. We had census trouble, difficulty keeping awake with no one to talk to; but the kindliness of our night supervisors brought us through the squall. We organized our class—Margaret Richardson. President; Patricia Hughes. Vice-President; Patricia Potts, Secretary, and Annctta Kutzmire, Treasurer. It was up to these girls to lead our class, and spur us on to our treasury goal of $3,000. We sponsored dances, and good ones too. Tioga House, our new ship, which we boarded at the Port of Capping, was crowded at these affairs. We had canteen and with eating in-between meals everybody thrived, so that it was always 1 205 1 possible to continue selling chances and tickets. We had many class meetings and shed many tears because Miss Baldawski would break our hearts to her cry of, “Sell those tickets or look for a new class advisor.” So sell those tickets we did, for we loved our Carolyn. As intermediates, we further proved our fame as good hostesses, by having many successful dances and other social events. But never fear, the “social whirl did not keep us from becoming finer nurses. We could not help improving, for we soon began Second Class Bloc with our dear Miss White guiding us through Obstetrics, Pediatrics, Psychiatry, to mention only a few of our subjects—all new and so very interesting. We weathered those Saturday morning exams and all too soon we were back on stormy seas, putting our theory to practice. Then came 4 Main—a hospital within a hospital—with the thrilling cry of a newborn, the look of the madonna on the mother’s face when she saw her child for the first time, the cute cuddly “full terms,” like royalty in their cribs, the minuteness of the “premies,” so ugly that they are cute. Blue skies weren’t always smiling, for we drew night duty, 16 3H enemas between 5 and 6 a.m., an admission every half hour during full moon and oh those long, long corridors at 2 and 6 a.m., when sleepy mothers realize what the future holds when home they return. In the F.K. on those hot summer days we poured, mixed, capped— little babies have such big appetites. We loved every exciting second and as we finished we all felt capable of having healthier infants in the future generations. Knowing all the information available about pre and post natal periods, we began to wonder about these little tikes, how they grew and flowered, so off to “kids’ ward we sailed. Here is a world all of its own—the child as the master, the nurse as servant. Each youngster soon wormed his way into the nurse's heart, so the reversal of roles is of little importance. We were the first class to enjoy an affiliation at St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children, and it was our duty to blaze a trail for succeeding classes. We had no difficulty with this task for we met charming and courteous people who made work, a game and learning, a pleasure. It is a compact place, that has everything the heart could desire right at the fingertips. Under the capable guidance of Miss Meir and our own Mrs. Thompson, we learned how things were done in the world of little people. We spent a wonderful 12 weeks there chucked full of experiences and adventure. It was there, also, that we came in contact with students from other hospitals, and with it the realization that our home school was one of the best. We had another afliliation. Municipal Hospital for Contagious Diseases. There, we were educated in the fine arts of Isolation technique, the care of polio patients and the treatment of other contagious diseases of childhood. It was a wonderful experience and the class of 1950 was the last to go to Munie. I 206 J Time was marching on! Before wc realized it. another black band was added to our caps. We were now in the hallowed ranks of Seniors. It will be easy sailing from now on”—what a misconception! Little did we realize the holocaust time had in store for us. Now that we were Seniors, we were left in charge of a department. Our heads had to be used for something more than a place to hang our caps. We soon realized that the gripes we had against former Seniors, for sitting at desks, charting, and giving orders while wc ran our legs olT carrying them out. were unfounded. Much to our chagrin, we found charts piled high with new orders, things to be done “stat.” The impatient whine of a dozen buzzers, the demands of a few dozen doctors made many a cool head ignite to the boiling point. Night Duty also seems to be a favorite place of Seniors. Night Relief and Night P.R.N., included all those “D.O.'s” on Medical or 2B, the endless admissions on Gyne, the miles of lab cards, and the gallons of urine specimens. The bright spot of the night would be Bob. arriving with milk and cookies and the gossip from dispensary. Being old hands at this, we found night duty fun, and anxiously awaited breakfast, where the gossip was digested with the eggs. As mighty Seniors, wc were permitted to nibble at the work of Jackson Clinic. Called out of an exciting Western at the Tioga to help remove a chicken bone from the throat of a travel-wearied patient often discouraged us; but the thrill of reading about it in the Inquirer compensated for the lost evening and made one proud to be a participant in such work. Then, of course, it was nice to have a few hours' overtime on Sunday afternoon for that evening of work. Many a student will cherish the Ciold Bronchoscope, denoting exemplary work, given to her by Miss Power. A change of administration took place during our Senior year. Miss Smith, our capable Director, resigned. We were sorry to sec her go. but. whatever her reasons, we are sure that she will be long remembered for her kindness and understanding. Miss Weston, assistant director, replaced Miss Smith as Director of the School of Nursing. On January 14th. 1950, came the big moment we had worked and planned for two and one-half years—the Senior Dinner Dance at the Torresdale-Frankford Country Club What a glorious time we had! A delicious turkey dinner, short speeches, and dancing to the smooth music of the Blue Knights. It was worth the time and effort we had expended in making this dream come true. As our ship drops anchor and we disembark, each to lead her own life, may we ever keep the vow of the pledge uppermost in our minds and the flame of the lamp glowing in our hearts. We will strive to carry out the mission entrusted to us—service, love and understanding to all peoples, everywhere. With deep gratitude, which words cannot express, and hearts filled with memories, we, the Class of 1950, bid goodbye to our teachers and friends, many of whom we will always remember. 1 207 ] i nun of � . 1st Row: 2nd Row: Kegerreis, R. lacona, R.

TEM EL E UM VERSITY a great institution . . . the result oj a strange tale ami the firm Jaith of a young clergyman The history of Temple University dates back to a strange talc about a rich Arabian farmer, Ali Hafed. who was obsessed with the thought of becoming wealthier by discovering diamonds. I his discontented man scoured the mountains and plains of Europe and Asia in vain, finally losing both his fortune and life in his hunt for more wealth. Ironically, after his death, a fabulous fortune of diamonds was found on the farm he left. Dr. Comvcll, founder of Temple University, was the young clergyman who heard this ancient legend in 1870 while on a trip from Bagdad to Nineveh on the Tigris River. It so impressed him that he made it the basis for his famous lecture Acres of Diamonds’ which earned millions of dollars. With this money.

BONSCHUR HOLMES OPTICIANS 1900 Chestnut Street Philadelphia [224] 4 Portrayal of a Famous Victorian Doctor and a Peasant Fluid It was during the reign of Queen Victoria that a simple forester’s cottage near Balmoral Castle, North Scotland, became the setting tor a human drama that will live forever in this painting, “The Doctor. • A favorite servant of the Queen lived in this cottage with her husband and their only child. Upon hearing that the child was seriously ill, the Queen wired to London for her personal physician. Sir James Clark. Sir James came by special train and remained in constant attendance upon the child until the crisis was past. The child recovered. • In 1891, Queen Victoria commanded Sir Luke Fildes to immortalize the scene on canvas in commemoration of the faithful devotion of the physician. • The “Sculpticolor” rendition is dedicated by Wyeth to the friend of all mankind, The Family Doctor. “The Doctor' — Aiter Sir Luke Fildes. R A.—Joseph Tomanck Modern Medical Science The pictured child recovered despite the inadequacies of her humble home—a tribute to her doctor’s genius and to the progress of medical science. Important advances have since been made in the struggle to conquer human ills; greater developments arc yet to come. The physician of today has at his command more extensive scientific knowledge, greater clinical skill, miraculous new drugs and perfected instruments. He is ably seconded by pharmacists, technicians and nurses whose education and training are much more thorough than in the past. The medical, pharmaceutical and nursing professions have joined forces to provide for the sick and injured of every community, a service unparalleled in history. The Familv V Undue The service of the general practitioner is characterized today by the same virtues as those that have ennobled his profession throughout the ages. In the words of the great anatomist and physiologist, renowned poet and writer of prose, OliverWendell Holmes, the family doctor “is the flower of our civilization; and when that stage of man is done with, and only remembered to be marvelled at in history, he will be thought to have shared as little as any in the defects of the period, and most notably exhibited the virtues of the race. Generosity he has, such as is possible to those who practice an art, never to those who drive a trade; discretion, tested by a hundred secrets; tact, tried in a thousand embarrassments; and what are more important, Herculean cheerfulness and courage. So it is that he brings air and cheer into the sickroom, and often enough, though not so often as he wishes, brings healing.” V fo rfs INCORPORATED • PHILADELPHIA 3, PA.
