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
