 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]

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. 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. Ill]
