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.

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.
