Johnson, A.B., LL.D. President Temple University Lord Bryce once wrote that medicine is the only profession that labors constantly to remove the reason for its own existence. In that sense, every one of you is foredoomed to failure. Men will continue to sicken and finally, to die. But because of you, thousands of people are going to live longer and more fully than would otherwise be possible. In those lengthened spans they will increase the world’s knowledge, its wealth, and its happiness. Their toil will add to our holdings in granaries, lock boxes and seats of learning. They will serve the state, build homes, strengthen the church, give us children, and discover new truths. These inestimable riches will in a real sense trace back to your wisdom and skill. Because of your profession you will become great benefactors. Remem' bering that, you have a right to be proud. At the same time, the essence and the source of life will be as mysterious to you, although you work with it daily, as it was to the ancients. Your knowledge can be nothing more than a speck in the expanding uni' verse of the unknown. Your skill is simply the instrument of a Power beyond understanding. Remembering that, you also have the privilege of being humble. 6 Robert Livingston Johnson William N. Parkinson, B.S., M.D., M.Sc., F.A.C.S., LL.D. Dean Temple University School of Medicine To the members of the Senior Class: My advice to the Class of ‘51 can be expressed in four words: “Make time for read-ing.” I would not have any of you in the position of the Harrisburg physician who, a few weeks ago, wrote a letter of protest to the editor of a medical journal because among the assistant editors was listed the name of a well-known pharmacologist, often quoted in the medical literature, which unfortunately happened to be the same as that of a chemist convicted not long ago of espionage. The Harrisburg physician thereby showed his ignorance of medical literature and also his lack of more than a superficial knowledge of events reported in the daily newspapers. Whether we like it or not, to the majority of people the doctor is the one symbol of royalty which they consciously or unconsciously retain, be they residents of Park Avenue in New York or the hilltops of the South. The doctor has spent more years in acquiring “book learning” than anyone they know. That is why he is so often chosen as an advisor (and not medical) to various cultural groups. That is why his patients ask his opinion on every public question —the worthwhileness of the new city charter, the choice of a presidential candidate, the probable outcome of the World Series. You and I know that no human being could live up to these expectations. Yet we must do our best not to disappoint our public by keeping ourselves as well informed as possible. How does one find time, in a world clamoring for doctors, to read anything except the progress in one's field of medical practice? you ask. One makes time for it, and one forms the habit early in one's career. A clergyman I know with a full round of activities seven days a week reserves the time from 10 p.m. to I a.m. for reading. Perhaps some such plan could be adopted by the beginning physician. Radio news casts and phonograph recordings of the world’s best literature and music and of lessons in foreign languages provide additional ways of widening one's horizon. Your choice of subject matter must, of course, be limited. You can build up reading lists and group the titles under “Must” and “Desirable. Professional material will, of course, be placed under “Must.” You should also place there a generous portion of cultural material— literature, music, art. Don't fall into the error of thinking that the few required English courses that you took reluctantly as an undergraduate covered the essentials of world literature. They merely grazed the surface. With your habits of concentration you can make yourselves masters of arts without benefit of diplomas from universities. I do not need to remind you that culture is not limited or even assured by attendance in classrooms. It is the end result of a life time spent in practicing the precept that it is man's moral duty to be intellectual. With best wishes for a successful professional career and much happiness, I am Cordially yours, William N. Parkinson Dean 7 dedication J. Robert Willson, A.B., M.D. The Class of 1951 first met Dr. J. R. Willson, Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, in a brief series of lectures in the sopho-more year. Our firs: impression was that of a man with an orderly mind who was capable of an informal and easy delivery of a large amount of factual information. Our respect for his teaching ability grew during the junior course, when his stamina amazed us and his lectures remained as interesting at the conclusion of three consecutive hours as they were at the start. During the third and fourth years his reputation for being a perfectionist was justified in the example he set as a true leader, willing to assume any task he demanded of others. His qualities as a teacher are apparent in his belief that the importance of imparting knowledge to students is second only to the welfare of the patient; and this attitude has permeated the entire department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. James Robert Willson was born in Flint, Michigan, on October 1, 1912 of Scotch-Canadian ancestry. The elder of two boys in the family, J. Robert attended public school in Flint, where his father had an insurance business. His education was furthered at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, where he was enrolled in the pre-medical curriculum for three years. He continued as a medical student in this university, and was graduated in 1937. While at the medical school he studied under many well-known professors, including Dr. G. Carl Huber, in Anatomy; and it was during this period the decision to make Obstetrics and Gynecology his chcsen field was made. The summer between the junior and senior years in medical school Dr. Willson spent as a research assistant in the Department of Pharmacology, determining the effect of caffeine on metabolism and muscular activity. Another activity in medical school was membership in the Galen Society, a service organization devoted to raising funds foi occupational therapy for children in the hospital. This organization he served as president during his senior year. It was in 1935, during his student days, that he was married to Margaret Starr, a girl from his home town whom he had known most of his life. She, too, had attended the University of Michigan, and after graduation taught English in a junior high school in Flint. His professional training continued with an internship in Ann Arbor at the University of Michigan Hospital, followed by a 10 three year residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology. Additional experience was obtained during this time by taking weekend calls for a general surgeon in a small hospital near Ann Arbor. This, incidentally, entailed development of a certain proficiency in X-Ray work. The period of residency was spent under the aegis of Norman F. Miller, Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, whose professional caliber and exacting methods had a profound influence on the young doctor. It was sometime during this period of residency, which provided many contacts with medical students, that Dr. Willson's aptitude for and interest in teaching became apparent. This was followed by the logical decision to enter the field of medical education. He therefore continued at the University of Michigan as Instructor for a year before going to the University of Chicago Medical School in 1942. The promotion to Assistant Professor at Chicago-Lying-in came in 1943. Here, his already growing interest in the problem of toxemias of pregnancy received further impetus under the able tutelage of the similarly interested William J. Dieckmann. This early work, augmented by continuous interest, insatiable curiosity, and unrelenting research has today reached fruition in a department at Temple where the importance of the eclamptic state is given due consideration. December of 1946 brought Dr. J. Robert Willson to Temple University Hospital to head the Department of Obstet- rics and Gynecology, and to become Professor ot that department in the medical school. Germantown is home now for the Willson family, which includes 13-year-old Anne and 10-year-old Richard. Although little time is available for his current interest in photography, his work in this medium reflects more than mere competence. Vacations are spent annually in Michigan, where his love for sailing receives high priority. His plans for the summer of 1950 were modified by serving on the Unitarian Service Committee's second medical mission to Germany, a post requiring bilingual teaching ability. With affection, with gratitude, and with respect we dedicate the 1951 “Skull” to Dr. J. Robert Willson. We shall remember for many years to come those qualtities of personal dignity, unassuming modesty, subtle humor, tempered idealism, logical thought, professional skill, and youthful achievement which are his. II r ST. YEAR “In order to use the elevators, all students must go to the basement. Aching knees, dyspnea, crowded elevators, and last minute entrances that interrupted opening remarks—what do you remember? Now I've always heard that, elephants have long memories, but never, never underestimate the abilities of a rabbit. A rabbit you say! What's he doing with a memory? Well, I'll have you know—but that’s another story I'll tell you some-time if you have a few hours. Now I asked myself how I should tell you abqut the beginning of this affair, so 1 delved into the recesses of my pre-Rolandicgyri way back in 1947 and came up with a lovely spring day when I was reclining off stage between the second and third acts. You see, I’m Harvey,” and I had quite a successful Broadway run, but things had died down to a routine. It was spring and I had the fever. Besides, I was getting pretty exasperated with this farce of being and not being both at the same time. I needed a way to express myself. That’s when I saw the envelope lying in the aisle. Oh, fateful hand that guided me to open it; and lo and behold there was an application to Temple University Medical School, a very interesting' sounding institution run by a Dean Parkinson. What did I have to lose? Don’t be silly, the play went on without me. Well, I started out pretty high, and I’m not referring to grades either. It was a penthouse on the sixth floor with no ventilation and hot and cold running formaldehyde. The workroom was an immense place filled with evenly spaced aluminum boxes that some misguided non-smoker dubbed hurpidors. No tobacco ever smelled like that! The only resemblance to it that I could ever ascertain was a certain well preserved quality about the contents. Its occupant had strictly no resemblance to a dead rabbit. I used to think human beings were rather simple. I learned the hard way that what’s left after the spirit departs is anything BUT simple. A few classmates were continually reminded of the post mortem hindrance a lifetime of over-indulgence can be. Pickles and ice cream, adiposity ar.d scalpels, they just don't mix. Oh yes, this busy little woorkroom was possessed with I two very distinguished doormen, Messrs. Albert and Hart, whose ready wit and high-backed chairs were always sure to obstruct an entrance. “Anything above a 75 is wasted effort. Dr. Weston, did you really mean that? The name of this nerve? But I tell you, it’s not in Gray. The proprietor of this famous establishment was an understanding and fair-minded man, a Dr. Huber, who provided plenty of good information, lots of encouragement, and some of that rather touchy material, exams. Oh, but you never knew my number! I tore it to bits and burned it in secret! Wild horses couldn't drag it from me. Gee, I got an A in Neuroanatomy (numbers on the wall can’t talk—I hope). As one thoroughly familiar with the arts I firmly believe that the world's most famous pantominist has a serious rival in the Anatomy department; but I must confess I could never follow Dr. Kimmel's energetic lectures from my back row seat. It had been my custom as an actor to indulge in midnight snacks, but what could be more diverting or relaxing than a 10. o'clock coffee after a 9 o'clock class. The most surprising crowd gathered in the cafeteria in fewer minutes than you could shake a Huber probe at. Yes, Dr. Hamilton, we're coming! Please don't shut the door. Don't lock us out! You were late once yourself, I know. Don't forget I'm invisible. The leading character in the fourth floor drama of 24 hour specimens was a master of bottles and surveyor of pipettes with a wee bit of Texas in his drawl. There was a man of precision and integrity who could outmatch the best of us on a meniscus. Never did I think I would have such an opportunity, Dr. Hamilton, but I want it recorded for all posterity to know that on my word as an honorable hare, I did not break your gall stone, I never spilled a drop in 24 long hours, and I wasn't even there when the mercury ran out on the floor. It had been my custom to slouch comfortably in whatever accommodations were available, but on what do you sit if there just isn’t an accommodation? The walls were hard, the desks were even harder, and the floor—well!! My only solace was the knowledge that Drs. Robinson and Van Slyke had stood long hours before me. Remember those tense moments of waiting as the doors opened slowly at the deadline hour of five and we rushed in impulsively to our familiar desks and grabbed the tell-tale papers which we opened stealthily in the privacy and quiet of the locker room. Confounded!! They keep telling me he adds points at the end of the year! Triphosphate crystals. Next! R.B.C.’s Next! Hyaline casts. Next! There's a chapter in every story that strikes closest to home, but the next one was really banging on my rabbit's door. Perhaps I should call it, Let sleeping dogs lie. At any rate, I made it! That's right, Physiology, the era of smoked drums, dull instruments, and exasperated Oppie. It was the suddenness of it, and not the grades, that sent me into neurogenic shock. Of course, pop quizzes were no real challenge to my thorough understanding of a subject that was explained so lucidly and logically by an enthusiastic Dr. Oppenheimer, or that was outlined so descriptively into subhead little (a) under Roman numeral II under capital A. I didn't mean to cough, Dr. Greisheimer. It’s this Philadelphia weather. Guess I'll never get used to it. My lab book wasn't approved? Impossible! I read every reference, outlined every experiment, answered every question. There must be some mistake. Oh, the graph! Well, you see, it was getting rather late and I had an exam to study for—they never miss a trick, do they? The diagnosis? Thrombosis of the lenticulostri-ate branch of the middle cerebral artery. And remember the tympanitic notes that bounced off the last row of Erny Amphitheater. This gentleman sounded pretty terrific, but how long would it take to learn the language? CVA, BMR, 17 BUN, CNS, PA, and I thought the government had a monopoly on the alphabet. But Dr. Kolmer, don’t destroy me! Alcoholics and cirrhotics; if they go, I must go too! I was born of an inebriated delusion! Maybe you’re right though. Yes, the world might be better off without me and my kind. But let me finish the year first, please, before you annihilate my fantasy. ND. YEAR Upon our return in the early autumn, we were reassured by the Department of Physiology of beginning with a familiar subject. The times that try the souls of men (physiologists espe-dally) occurred with wondrous frequency when we were in that lab, and it is no wonder that we were often too much for Dr. Oppenheimer. There was the time an E.K.G. of a dog with auricular fibrillation was substituted for that of a student, and a frantic Oppie came from the darkroom telling the student to be calm. His remarks when the carelessness was revealed fortunately have not been preserved. And we were all Dr. Greisheimers children.” This attitude was expressed in the grading of those questions emanating from the little office with the chopped-off door. Maybe you were right about this part of the question, ”but here was something wrong that had been overlooked.” Thus a passing 78 was converted into a miserable 71; but justice was done in its own peculiar way, and where but there was the court of last appeal? The presence of Kitty Weston, Wendy Wester, and Dr. Sokolchuk aided a great deal. Our fumbling, twelve finger approach to dog surgery would have led to a much higher dog (and student) mortality rate had not their facile fingers and minds been present to rescue us from impossible situations. When Dr. Ring appeared on the horizon, the fog of ignorance concerning endocrinology was raised slightly. We now felt that we had a working knowledge of the pituitary-adrenal axis and that we would not completely lose our way in the forest of endocrinological confusion. We could tell from the questions in the final those who 20 were peeved at us, but we were now almost beyond their reach. The calm and mild Dr. Collins was trans-planted to head the reorganized Pharmacology department. So new was his equipment it was no longer necessary to use spit, chewing gum, and prayers to make the apparatus function. And we found even an experiment concerning the effect of ethanol to be performed upon ourselves. This experiment was believed to be unnecessary by some (especially a former class president) who felt that all medical students were cognizant of the effects of this drug from previous “experiments. When mistakes were made in the laboratory, our conditioned reflexes sent us to the cyclone cellar. Dosages of amytal inadvertantly became tremendous when the decimal point was moved in the wrong direction, so that our experiments occasionally resulted in euthanasia. And Dr. Mess remains only a memory at Temple. We have the feeling that it was just a little too much for his sanity to cope with. When one of the many comedians injected the periorbital space of a dog with air, it resulted in a grade VIII malignant exophthalmos. There he stood, the wheels going round and round, in an attempt to cajole the Autonomic System into an explanation of this phenomenal use of homatropine to the innocently smirking sophomores. Only an explanation of this confounding phenomenon prevented him from publishing an original paper upon the occourrence of grade VIII exophthalmos in a well developed 14 pound male dog lying comfortably anesthetized on the dog board. While none envied Dr. Collins his job of reorganization, the results of his work were to be commended. As we approached the next part of our training, we gradually became familiar with the famous company of Noguchi. Ehrlich, Pasteur, Levaditi, and Kolmer. We already had met Father John, and now he entered the domain of the Treponema to take the sting from the pursuit of the Goddess Venus. He imparted to us the knowledge of Bacteriology, Parasitology’, Immunology, Virology, Mycology, Parasitology, and love which were at his command. For where else could we learn that the Neisserian organism (don't call it “BUG !) could not flourish upon the porcelain throne, but required carbon dioxide, chocolate agar, and t.l.c. The inspiring kinetic lectures of Dr. Spaulding remained with us long enough to pass the National Boards. Although 21 we carefully attempted to follow the theory of the Allergic Phenomenon, the Dale Experiments, and the P.K. reaction to repeat this miscellany for the exams, we were only slightly elated to learn after the examina' tion that nobody else completely understood the busi' ness. And so it went with our nightly 5 02. reading assignment from a 10 lb Zinnser plus the B.C.G. and typhoid innoculations with their “pleasant side reactions. Then appeared the figure of Dr. Anderson on the lecture platform, and where else could be found one who had experienced the ravages of Breakbone Fever on the isle of New Caledonia? At least he gave us the feeling of someone solid and stoic who had plenty to offer us, including moral support. As a compensation for our travail this department afforded a source of feminine pulchritude which enlivened the laboratory hours for the majority of the class. And if Liz, Julie, and Betty Jane said that those dots were Gram positive, who were we to argue? Then when the ice cream boxes were handed out, we were overwhelmed. But we fub filled our obligations (with the possible exception of one classmate who felt that a cat was a better specimen source). The advent of Parasitology offered a climax— of sorts. The gamut of Delhi sore, Bagdad boil, Dunv dum, MuMu, and Loa Loa had us all feeling that we could converse quite intelligently with the lower abor igir.es. Dr. Gault's movies of the life and loves of Clonorchus . sinensis, Schistosoma hematobium, and Diphyllobothrium latum afforded us a rare opportunity for siesta following lunch. And according to the advice 22 of the great North American authority on South American diseases, a brief postprandial hiatus is a necessity in the lands of the insidious worms. Here was a course to be lived! As a fitting culmination of the two pre'clinical years the department of Pathology .awaited us, champing at the bit to be off on the mad whirl that is the first several weeks intro' duction. The clinical syndrome known as the Aegerter Ache was quickly acquired on the basis of the hourly dash from 426 to the micro lab and the diligent search for hydropic degeneration in the tubules of unrecognizabel kidneys. We regret that we took such copious notes in those first few days because we would have preferred to listen spellbound to the facile but dynamic style of the chief as he rapidly made us aware that the pathologist has the last word. From the con-founding welter of poisons and vital stains (vital only for passing exams) we were taken for a mad whirl about the cardiovascular tree by the high speed Dr. Pete. Then as a welcome relief Dr. Peale appeared. From the roller coaster pace we were taken gently by the hand and led on a leisurely stroll through the well watered garden of renal pathology. His friendly tips about what was going on in the mind of “the Chief and the other members of the staff were of great moral and practical value before the exams. With the amiable grin and the breast handkerchief dangling casually from his pocket, the impeccable Dr. Peale is the idealized representa-tive of a more kindly court of last resort, the pathologist. Dr. Gault was an old and familiar friend now cast in a new role, that of grand inquisitor. He sat casually in h� s chair quietly thumbing through Smith and Gault; then casting his eyes over the uneasy assemblage he would select (with fond anticipa-tion of the havoc to come) some poor unfortunate soul for expurgation. Then up arid away to the pathology museum where our host. Dr. Campbell, held forth in his pickle works. Many a pre-exam night was spent there trying to differentiate fatty metamorphosis from cloudy swelling in a fifty-year-old liver lying in a bottle in no apparent distress. But what was the use when the next day fresh surgical specimens awaited our pleasure, with a breast masquerading all the while as umbilicus. A new addition to the department, Dr. (Doubting) Thomas widened our diagnostic acumen and with sly humor and good sense made us aware that medicine is not yet an exact science. The other valuable addition to the pathology department was amiable Jim Arey whose identity we were never certain of until two years later at St. Chris when he finally emerged from his dense cloud of pipe smoke. It was with anticipation that we looked forward to our introduction to clinical medicine. The choice of an introducing party could not have been better, for in Dr. Durant was the ultimate representative of competent medicine. The organization of his material quickly was seen to be the result of an orderly mind. The pleasure of seeing this fifty cylinder mind operate so smoothly and quietly at an easeless top speed will always be remembered with pleasure mingled with awe. This was followed by a voice piped directly from the old Southland introducing us to the subject of Dye-a-beetis Mel-eye-tus. This course was extended even to include the calculation of the caloric adjustments in the diabetic diet made necessary by the imbibition of white lightening. The advent of surgery was marked by much promise and little fulfillment. perhaps because the material was not remarkable for its glamour. The disillusionment of our previous concept of the drama of surgery was materially aided by the warm humid spring breezes, the opening of baseball season, and the boredom evident in the voice of he who lectured on boils, carbuncles, furuncles, and phagodemc ulcers. But immortal shall ever be, gleaming in pristine glory and radiance, that marvel of modern medicine, the Unna Boot. Another pleasant exposure to genius at work came with the beginning of the formal lectures concerning the more fascinating half of the race. Those first lectures in obstetrics were so compre-hcnsibly unfolded for our edification that each hour passed too rapidly. In addition to lessening our state of ignorance about women’s reproduc' live functions in particular, our doubts about the less scientific mechanisms of these puzzling crea-lures were assuaged somewhat by the end of this course. And then awaiting us was the treat of those deceivingly simple little exercises which gave us a choice of one or two or three out of four perfectly plausible answers to apparently simple questions. Finally, with shiny new stethoscopes we were unleashed upon the unwitting ward patients, whose thoraces probably still bear traces of our ineffectual attempts to detect Skodiak resonance. Our insecurity as we approached real patients brought to many of us the realization of our true ignorance of the art of medicine. In some cases, however, the observation of the personalities of our classmates in the company of their patients came as a true revelation. Physical diagnosis con tinued with Dr. Mark's overture to his hour— oral questions which we inevitably answered incorrectly. But during this year the alarm reaction couldn't be easily aroused, for we were in a state of chronic adrenal exhaustion amid the welter of Bacteriology, Pharmacology, Parasitology, Mycology. Pathology, Immunology, and Medical Statistics examinations. The anticlimax to this hectic year, National Board exams, was the final low that left many of us a quivering, spastic, exhausted mass of sophomoric protoplasm. Excelsior! On to the third year. 26 “Gentlemen — the gonads have been snatched from us . . Prolegomenon The diverse complexity of our third year itiiv erary precludes a detailed coverage. So, too, however, tradition precludes its omission. It is then, without apologies, that the following eclec-tic commentary is proffcrred. Lectures and Demonstration Clinics On returning to Philadelphia to take the Na tional Board Examinations, we heard that, through the grace of the A.M.A. Zi W.N.P., “our” junior year would be different from those of our predecessors. We were to have half as many formal lectures and twice as much time in the clinics and wards. We soon learned that thts was approximately true, and meanwhile won' dered gratefully how the previous classes had not developed bilateral gluteus maximus hypertrophy. Many of our sessions in MEDICINE were fecund with interest and humor. As transient diversion form the fierce strain of the pernennial amanuensis, one had but to scan the room to con' template the bizarre expressions and postures attained by those most subject to postprandial supratentorial deficit or late afternoon hypogly' cemia. Lest the ability acquired in three years to cope with contingencies be doubted, the outstand' ing “show” of this nature occurred when Dr. Lansbury, during a session in suprapubic endocrinology, closed in on a student whom everyone was sure was asleep, only to recoil nonplussed as the student lurched into reality with the correct diagnosis. The demonstration clinics would occas-sionally present us with a special type of diagnostic problem, i.e., no one could determine why some patients were brought to the amphitheatre. With relief we came to learn this was to prevent 28 our thinking the patient fictitious. In OBSTETRICS and GYNECOLOGY was represented the epitome of the mind which knows its business. With admiration we watched and listened as the various lecturers, with but scant recourse to notes, propounded pelvic propaedeutics for a running three hours. A few examinations, some written, some pelvic, soon modified any preconceptions we might have entertained regarding the ease with which this information could be functionally absorbed. The announced theme of the PEDIATRICS lecture series was, “The Child is not a Little Man. Growth and development convinced us that disease in infants and children is different form disease in adults. Once convinced, a fraction of the class progressed into frank paranoia, stoutly maintaining that behaviour problem patients at St. Christopher's awaiting transfer to custodial institutions are earning room and board by contributing examination questions, and availing themselves of spending money by correcting papers. In SURGERY, Dr. Burnett and his staff, despite the discouragement attendant a right- after-lunch lecture assignment, somehow man-aged to drive home the following all-important facts: 1. Proper management of anything in medicine depends on the proper diagnosis. 2. If you can't think out the diagnosis, play safe and look at the diagnosis. 3. Don't delay. However, when the department corrected the examination questions, they must surely have felt that some points were driven home too hard, making a clean through and through wound, traumatizing no vital structures with even a trace of an engram, healing by first intention, and leaving no scar at either portal of entry or exit. The purveyors of fine shadows took us through ihe basic physics of RADIOLOGY three times, but with dogged persistence, and tenacity of purpose we successfully evaded any significant degree of comprehension. Saving our ability for clinical roentgenography, we met this mathematically minded department with abject disillusionment when, by decree, they ruled that the ratio of clinical roentgenography imparted to radiologic physics already absorbed, would be one to one. With PSYCHIATRY came the vigorous discussion sessions, providing the lecturers and members of the class with excellent demonstrations of psychodynamic mechanisms. The burning question of the year, however, was not psychiatric, but semantic. To wit: If a physician says he is engaged in the study of sic-e-a-trick (spelled ‘psychiatric ) problems, why does he not also say he is a sic-e-a-trist (spelled “psychiatrist”)? UROLOGY lectures were best characterized by the superior organization of subject material. The urologists in this school of medicine not only tell Republican jokes very well, but they also pattern their public speaking after the advice of a great Republican, Abraham Lincoln. That is, “Stand up, say what you have to say. then sit down and be quiet. It was impressive, informative and refreshing. The Clinical Services “Click . . On arriving at EPISCOPAL HOSPITAL we were given advice, the true wisdom of which has continued to be revealed to us as we have slowly gathered experience. It was, “From this day on, . . clid( to the patients you are a physician. Be one. What' ever you do, and whatever you say, always be considerate of the patient as a person. Imply, at least, that you are properly self'Confident. Always be the master, a gentle one, but still the master. If you behave as a boy with the patient, he will treat you as one, and rightfully so. Dr. Man-love went on to another position before most of us began to realize the importance of what he had said. Dr. Bello, with his canny knowledge of the U. S. Pharmacopeia, prevented, in several instances, the theory of medical jurisprudence from merging with the practice of same. When the time had come to change services and go on to another hospital, some progress in our training was evident. We could now be addressed as “Doctor without looking over our five of this year's pediatric service is to make you acutely aware of your deficiencies in clinical pediatrics.” We consider that the objective was obtained. In obstetrics and gynecology pan of the class had “junior residencies for six weeks, while the remainder ran an amputated career of from $ero to eight days. Something new awaited us at JEWISH HOSPITAL by way of night and weekend calls on the surgical service. If the patient was already post-operative by the time we arrived, we soon learned to portray as much indignation as the busiest clinician called in without reason. The “Doane Conference had had much advanced billing of all types given it by those who had gone before. With us, as with them. shoulder to see who had come up behind us, and could gracefully dodge when the patient would press us for a diagnosis. Occasionally we could even make the correct diagnosis ourselves. Teaching services at TEMPLE UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL were short. Presumably a sly modus operandi on the part of the management to assure we do most of our fumbling elsewhere. The department of Pediatrics told us, “The objec- it never failed to provide subject material for conversation. This varied all the way from the occasional cynic doubting the spontaniety of so magnificent a spectacle, trying to spot the mornings on which roll would be taken along with side bets in the last row on the correct diagnosis, to real pride on our part when Dr. Savitz told us one morning, “You people do your work with the manner and bearing of people who have been son. If, on arrival, the instructor was found already, having his coffee, a “no contest was declared. PGH is perhaps remembered best for for the time we spent there with Dr. Thomas Durant. Our regard for him as an astute physcician and as a man of gentle dignity and strong faith was already high when we went to PGH. Most of us would not have believed that our opinion of anyone could go any higher, but every contact with Dr. Durant proved that it could. Through him we gained further insight that in dealing with many patients, an entire human soul was sick, not merely an organ. Denoument The end of the year brought eleven or twelve final examinations. That the exact number is difficult to determine is evident in that after the last examination, the class had so disordered a collection of scrambled Betz cells, several people went home and immediately started to study for the next one. doing medicine a long time. In addition the quiet brilliance of Drs. Green span and Mcndclsshon was a source of inspiration to all of us. PHILADELPHIA GENERAL HOSPITAL was a deluge of clinical material. Name the disease, no matter how rare, and PGH had at least one case on hand for teaching puposes. Of course, the patient might greet us with. Well this makes the seventeenth time this month. One became used to that. When things would get a little slow some mornings, a contest would develop to see who could devise the shortest route to the lunchroom without, of course, being seen by the wrong per- TH. YEAR Eh bien! 7s(ous sommes arrives' The latter was a commonly held delusion entertained by the Class of ’51 as it propped for the final “work' out at T.U.H. A cursory inspection of the class roll in September, 1950, revealed that the tender group of freshmen of September, 1947 was—in spite (or perhaps because) of all the moaning and groaning—almost intact. In retrospect, though, it became obvious that there was a qualitative toli, in addition to the minimal quantitative toll. These brave, embarking clinicians, with their unpolished veneer, well adapted to being called “doctor,' felt ready and willing to deal with the practical problems presented by the patient. (Exceptions, as always, existed: Those Ivory Tower boys who busied themselves with the important blood vanadium levels, spinal fluid Boron content, etc., made themselves questionably popular with their groups as they usurped time trying to prove to others that they were more in touch with the literature than the instructor). However, although nothing ran perfectly, in general the sen- dents and were still to be treated as such. Pediatrics at St. Christopher's Hospital was somewhat hard to take, after a summer lush with lounging and plenty of free time Just the problem of getting over to see the “kiddy's hospital on the stroke of 8:00 A.M.—(for to arrive five minutes late meant the missing of a written quiz) —was sufficient to cause mid-afternoon neurasthenia. Add to this a term paper (which some members of '51 must still be composing); an inability to find a checker” in clinic, after promising an impatient mother that the “consultant” would be right in, and the social worker presenting you with rather ludicrous problems that could be solved only by mass sterilization, and you have a fairly eloquent formula for allocating the senior medical student to the lunatic fringe. Somehow', the majority seemed to be able to take things in stride; and by the time they had finished the guided tour of infants' and children's wards. Pediatric medical clinic, Well Baby clinic, juvenile C.P.C.'s, the pediatric conferences, the many medical and surgical specialty clinics. Cerebral Palsey Clinic and the early morning quiz conferences, they just couldn't help but wonder why they had fancied them- ior year proved to supply an abundant source of pearls and other gems which were variously whispered, shown, dropped and even hurled at '51 by a staff for which it developed great respect. Let us go then, you and I, and travel as '51 did along a sample of the senior itinerary. September was the cruelest month of all, bringing the irrefutable proof that we were still stu- selves the “Complete Pediatrician” at the end of year three. Our complaints and long faces were manfully and cheerfully faced by Dr. High, who shouldered the burden of the teaching program, ;.nd by the residents and most of the staff, whose interest in teaching made it pleasant for us. Yet when we left for Obstetrics and Gynecology still carrying the Green Bible, we just could not help but look at Dr. Nelson's masterpiece and sigh: “What a book.” Out-Patient clinic in Obstetrics and Gynecology was a satisfying experience, because here we really got our hands into things. Gynecology was divided into many sub-clinics which could confuse one, but a prescription for “Proloid'' would rarely be amiss. Tumor Clinic with Dr. Beecham was a rare and welcomed experience as we observed his suave management of patients. Infertility Clinic meant unraveling a maze of laboratory data followed by innumerable Rubin Tests which made us wonder why more women did not suddenly float to the ceiling. Obstetrical 36 until we talked to patients on gyne ward that we learned of the therapeutic efficacy of “Seven Up. Ward rounds with Dr. Willson proved to he an invaluable source of knowledge for those few students who were lucky to be present at the right time. Finally the axe fell. We were to be on con-tinuous duty for nearly three weeks on the fourth floor. However, the work was none too hard or too exhausting especially if one were conditioned to working in the Siberian salt mines. Within a few short days we had learned to get up at 7:30, wash, shave, write progress notes, cat breakfast and be on the sixth floor for the 8:00 A M dis-cussion group where, with regular monotony, one could observe the falling of tired heads fighting a losing battle with gravity. Our day Out-Patient Clinic had us trying to remember innumerable pelvic dimensions; only to conclude that one did not become an obstetrician unless his hand measurements were calibrated to those of a pelvis. During In-Patient Gynecology service one became aware of the incidence of leimyofibromata, to the extent that senior medical students often wondered whether fibroids arose from uteri or uteri from fibroids. Although we all felt that we had been well trained in gynecology it was not was planned so that we had twelve hours on and twelve hours off All we had to do was watch patients, deliver babies, do lab work, attend lectures, observe prematures, examine newborns, stand rounds, and listen to Dr. Hoberman from two till four P.M Sleep came more easily if you were exhausted, consequently, much welcomed rest came during off-hours in our spacious and lavishly appointed sleeping quarters. Except for “scop-y females climbing up the wall next door, patients vocalizing their contractions with both prayer and anathama, and the slamming of bed I i 37 rails, all was peace and quiet. It has been rumored that some of us have fallen asleep during particularly violent battle scenes in the movies thinking that wc were back on the fourth floor in the students' sleeping room. We also learned new techniques for crossing Broad Street by dodging the beds of patients being pushed recklessly to the D R. The staff was found to have acquired some new members who could often be found lounging in the residents' room. They were known lovingly as “week-end' residents, whose sole claim to fame rested upon their singularly deft sense of timing in relieving students at the precise moment a patient had reached full dilation, and a studied hateur in usurping delivery without compunction. Dr. Hoberman, whose diatribe could unnerve a cadaver, constantly threatened us with a fast trip back home. His soft modulated voice could be heard chiding, “What are you, a mid-wife? Get on those forceps and pull—and no ad-libbing.” 36 “It all begins with the primollicle folltcle. Be it as it may, the staff, headed by the inconv parable Dr. Willson, deserves our fullest praise. The course was well taught and all will agree that Obstetrics and Gynecology would not be soon forgotten. The Medicine block was started with each new group prepared for anything! As a result, Medi-cal Out-Patient No. 1 and No. 2 came as a pleasant surprise. They actually allowed us a little “time off.” Nine o'clock coffee was promptlv instituted along with other neglected essentials like a chance to respond to the gastro-colic reflex and other personal luxuries. As for the clinic, would we ever forget our director, Mrs. Hirst, and her little student assistant, pouting to the boys in the smoke-filled back room that this case was a good one? Sometimes a couple of days would pass without a patient, only to terminate with two eager students getting a Four F club member, which culminated in Psychiatric referral. Everyone faithfully kept a list of his patients with the hope of dragging their charts out during some spare time (which never seemed to accrue) to see what happened. It would have been much more interesting if the patients were distributed old or new, as they came. Also, much could have been learned during the time spent in waiting for the checking squad if it hadn't been necessary to constantly insure your priority in line. 40 It was just about this time that Christmas vacation came, always welcome after this much schooling. As usual, the many work resolutions went unheeded, and when the sections came back to complete their service, most of them, despite the absence of a white Christmas, felt snowed under. The familiar buzzing monotone of the Med Student companion. Rumour, had all those assigned to Medical Annex Wards instilled with the fear of the insurmountable. So impossible were the rumored expectations, so malicious was the glee of colleagues as they merrily left for PGH that the Annex assignment was met with a grim determination to weather its stormy course. Our impressions never seemed to be as complete as Dr. Levinsky's whose diagnosis went on ad infinitum, ad nauscum to include alopecia, edentu- lousness, and pcs planus. Urines and C.B.C.'s, night and weekend duty and daily progress notes v ere not resented, although there was a tendency to feel cheated when talking to the internists from PGH. The real bone of contention, was not that the patient workups were corrected for spell' ing, grammar and caligraphic idiosyncracies, not that they had to be rewritten after this correc- tion, but the unholy problem of trying to get someone to check, the work before it approached astronomical proportions! And so, with ambivalent feelings, we gathered and stored the nuggets disseminated during rounds with Dr Kern adding them to the copious information distributed by Drs. Ginsberg, Lansbury, and other helpful members of the staff. This comoensated partially for the reports from PGH of rounds with the inimitable Dr. Tom Durant. It cannot be denied that rewards can be obtained from good hard work; those tired souls whe were haup to sec assignments to Medical Clinics No. 3 and No. 4 had certainly learned some medicine. 41 for the admiral— another number to remember. Finch in untying functional cortical knots of all sizes; Dr. Gilpin making us really feel like neurologists; the introduction to the Dermatologic wandering F's and Buttock Slap Techniques in Rx of Lues; the specimens they made us examine in Gastro-cnterology; and the conferences in E.A. which were endowed with considerable Brain Trust. In the midst of this, all the furor ot mtemeship appointments caused a tension that could be compared only to that of acceptance to Medical School so many years ago. With the completion of this much of the year, hopes were high, and why not?—we had three down and one to go. The Medical Specialty Clinics were again like a desert oasis. They gave the student his most desired craving—a bit of spare time. “Where and when do we go? will echo throughout the years to come. Most of the clinics were quite instructive, depending upon the mood of students and teachers. Some features that won't be for' gotten are: The staccato speech of Dr. Wein-berger as he insisted, “Whaddya think. Doc? You're up here to learn something, Doc! ; the eager attempts of Dr. Zatuchni to convince us that we could hear the rrrrrrrrr before the lub; Dr. Shuman zipping through the diets in his excellent management of Diabetic Out-Patients; the hushed and dignified voice of Dr. Lansbury urging us, “Gentlemen, with menorrhagia, think of hypothyrodism ; acute strabismus encountered at first with the head mirror; the physical thera-pist insisting that “mental notes boys write out her lectures; the dexterity of Drs. English and Service on Babcock Ward was well organized with Dr. Bucher sincerely trying to make surgeons out of an eager, new and somewhat motley crew. Lung abcess and empyema management will never be forgotten by one section that had it covered six times. This resulted in the class groaners, who usually lament inadequate coverage, becoming allies of the class moaners to agrre that “this was too much!” The residents and nurses on Babcock did more to make us feel like doctors than any place thus far. We were sought for initiating I.V.’s, and drawing blood speciments; and we were even permitted to change wound dressings if the residents were asked at the right time. The never ending problem of patient assignment after theii return from the O.R. will, no doubt, alw-ays exist, but a conscientious effort was made to eliminate it. The cheese cloth wounds on the Women's Side Porch were attacked by each incipient surgeon with interrupted, continuous, vertical and horizontal mattress suturing—the more advanced even tried subcuticular work, leaving the specimens in ragged dishevelment. Dr. Burnett, fondly referred to as “Ole Mose,” made the service complete by teaching on Grand Rounds with a liberal sprinkling ofunique dry humor to color his keen surgical appraisals. We left with the index finger poised, determined to dilate the rectal sphincter of anyone who entered our offices—with the “Burnett grip Surgical Specialties Out-Patient was akin to Medical Out-Patient No. 3 and No. 4 We were on the merry-go-round again. Proctology, the nether specialty, made us realize that 25cm. was all too long under certain circumstances and that crypts” was not spelled cripes. Urology was especially valuable as we learned to do a urinalysis before the patient had finished passing the specimen Orthopedics brought us in contact with Drs. Lachman and Seifer, who nearly succeeded in teaching us two years work during several clinics. We also learned that eight carpal bones on an X-Ray did not constitute a multiple fracture. Opthalmology, except as a place for referral of eye trouble, was nearly passed by unnoticed. . . does anyone want to ma e an announcement? We were, however, privileged to look at some very impressive optic instruments. Radiology was a pleasing but far too brief surprise to most of us as we learned, at last, some of the intricacies of radiography. We watched radioactive iodine being handled as we kept a more than modest distance. Tumor Clinic with Dr. Blady was instructive, but at times radically depressing. Fourteen days had passed and we were through with another part of surgery. Surgical assist was anticipated not without trepidation. The chief had given us a word con- cerning O.R. technique and had demonstrated with his residents the innumerable ways of mak-ing the procedure SNAFU. Unfortunately some of the surgical assistants confused “what not to do” with “what to do”! Contamination of an already contaminated field is a unique attribute of the senior medical student. In most cases it Ed Chamberlin . . . can't recall the lady's name but can remember the chest. proved necessary to become adept at playing “hide the instrument with the second assist and the lucky fellow with “super vision had an outside chance to see part of the operative field. In the final analysis, when one finished his briel stint at the surgical assist under supervision of r By now '51 was convinced that its presump' tion of arrival at the initial stages of this year was an optimistic dream, after having spent almost an entire year in learning its deficiencies. This general attitude could be sensed in the work produced in various departments. The joy that comes with the completion of a difficult task was favored by an air of seriousness reflected in the conversations and attitudes of class members. the many capable surgeons, much valuable material had been learned because of closer con tact with the operative field. Accident Dispensary provided ample oppor tunity to observe the techniques of minor sur gcry and “off the street ’ diagnoses. Each detail of traumatic injury management distributed by Dr. Francis Schumann was stuffed into whatever cerebral space still remained unoccupied. . . . holding the bag. . . . gadget and friend. Thus came the termination of four years of formal education for the class of ’51. With the completion of a not unhappy fragment of the continuous process of study came the realization that this was just the beginning. In making this jump to the final initiation, the friends and fond memories that were to be left in the past made one feel with Goethe: “To the moment might I say, Linger awhile so fair thou art. 48 lysidan and jffjr «V g yVpoltouiu, , !vscu Ja)n f lealth 3 .

The stated aim of the Society, then and now, is to “promote scholarship and research in medical schools, to encourage a high standard of character and conduct in those graduating from medical schools and to recognize high attainment in medical science. Inspired by, and patterned after the Phi Beta Kappa of undergraduate life, the Society quickly met the need for such an organization; since 1902 sixty chapters have been added by approved medical schools both in this country and in Canada. In the fall of 1950 Temple University School of Medicine announced the formation here of Epsilon Chapter of Alpha Omega Alpha. Eleven faculty members and twenty-two students from the Senior and Junior classes, as well as several alumni were invited by the School to become charter members. Formal installation of the Epsilon Chapter took place at a dinner at the Warwick Hotel on December 1, 1950, when Dr. Walter L. Bierring, national President of Alpha Omega Alpha, presented the charter to Dr. Robert L. Johnson, President of Temple University. Dr. Bierring, with Dr. Josiah J. Moore, National Secretary, then presented Society keys and certificates to the initiates. The installation address was given by Dr. Wilburt C. Davison, Dean of Duke University School of Medicine. Charter members of Temple’s chapter include: FACULTY INITIATES—Drs. Ernest E. Aegcrter, W. Emory Burnett, O. Spurgeon English, George C. Henny, John R. Moore, Thomas M. Durant, William M.

NX-Dental ). The Christian Medical Society, since its beginning in 1931 at Northwestern University Medical School, has had two purposes: to provide Christian fellowship for medical students, physicians and others associated with the profession and to present to the medical profession a positive witness of the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour. These objectives are being realized through more than twenty active chapters and a Society membership of over one thousand. Each Wednesday, the hour of informal singing, Bible study and prayer induces spiritual anabolism and is in welcome contrast to the otherwise accelerated tempo to which our medical training is geared. In downtown missions on Sunday evenings, we often have an opportunity to observe walking museums of pathology” at the three medical clinics sponsored by the student chapter of another school in cooperation with the Philadelphia Physicians Chapter of C M S. It is most • -4 rewarding to see such patients, long since given a hopeless prognosis by society, respond to a combination of medical and spiritual therapy. Outstanding features during the past year included a weekend retreat at Bethanna, a Halloween party, the annual banquet of the six local chapters and special lectures from time to time on pertinent topics related to the Christian interpretation of medical practice. Our entire program is designed to prevent spiritual stagnation and stimuate Christian living. And the Lord sent them to preach the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick.

So the trend in the larger hospitals is seen, wherein the departments of chemistry, bacteriology, etc., employ as heads of these departments those who have devoted special attention to its particular science. Under the able leadership of our president, Jessie Nolan, the Class of 1952 includes girls from Temple, Bucknell, Moravian, and Misericordiae, who are training to enter this versatile profession. These students are not only receiving excellent technical training but are also making friends of some ot the finest personalities in the medical profession. 202 VERA R. LUPIN I 148 E.

My memories of our work as well as our fun together are rich ones and I thank you for having made them so. As you think back over the years, recall the high hopes and ideals with which you entered nursing. Renew them now as you take on the responsi' bilities of a graduate nurse and in the achieving of them I am sure you will find pleasure and satisfaction. A CLASS OF 1951: It has been a pleasure working with you, and I appreciate the cooperation that you have always given me. Sometimes your student days have been difficult but soon you will look back upon them only with pleasant memories. If I could be granted a wish, it would be for each of you to live a full and happy life. This you will surely have if you remember always to be honest and to keep yourself above that which is petty and small. I wish to extend my congratulations on your accomplishments and wish you success in what' ever you may undertake.

We can say nothing but thanks! From the first day of your pre-clinical instructions until graduation, we have been working as a team in which classwork, study hall, review periods, supervision in medications, and our class meetings have served to further acquaint us. Throughout these three years together, I have regarded each of you as a friend; and to have attained your friendship, I have inherited a great weatlh. It is my hope that our friendship will not cease with graduation, but will continue on for many years. During our association, I have found that each of you have pleasing personalities, many talents, and, most important of all, high aims and sincerity. With all these attri-butes, there can be little question as to why your class has been one of the most successful classes to graduate from Temple University Hospital.

Reviewing briefly these student years, brings to my eyes—nostalgic tears! Arrival days at old Carlisle, Mid boxes and luggage—my! what style, A rush to Medical, Miss White to meet, We were scared to death—all arms and feet! Blood tests, physicals, right in turn. Modesty shed ’til our faces burned, Then a schedule, assignments, and books galore— “Miss America, we studied, behind and before! Chemistry, psycho, micro, and med, You know them all—of these enough said. Hypos and charts ended our first lap. Hurrah! exams finished, now, the coveted cap! A little more confidence, prestige, too, Then over to Babcock, for interest anew. We moved to Tioga about this time, Midnight snacks, sunbathing. TV, all were fine. When nerves got jumpy and feet turned sore, I recall heavenly days at Atlantic shore. Completing the rest of our days, With genito, ortho, and gyne, too, St. Christopher's, O.B., O R.—we're through! As the sands of time sift through the hour glass, So—another class has passed. Would that 1 held the power to seer, to vision, yes, to know, The measure in life each will seek, the path she shall choose to go. But life beckons on, more knowledge to seek, there'll be days of heartache and strife. Teach me, dear Lord (is my humble prayer), not to question the worth of one life. Help me to aid, give sympathy, without self thought or greed. To those in need, regardless of race or creed, So that when I am old, my flame shall still burn bright, Through some future student, who has earned her white! Student Council The student body of Temple University Hospital was first given voice and recognized in September 1942. Since then it has come to represent the ideas of the students and present them to the chosen members. As adviser of Student Council, Miss June Miller has been able to appreciate both sides of the arising problems and consequently able to offer welcome assistance.

RI 6-6256 The NURSES ALUMNAE ASSOCIATION of Temple University Hospital Dedicated to Nursing Progress 21-4 The Doelm A Portrayal of a Famous Victorian lloclor mill a Peasant Phi hi 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 '—After Sir Luke Fildes. R. A —Joseph Tomanek 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 are 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 Family Doctor 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 arc 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 yf rf INCORPORATED • PHILADELPHIA 3, P A.
