Medical Clinic In the Laboratory Despite the remarkable array of honors in the Kolmer record, we in the Senior class have learned to know him, appreciate him and admire him most in the lecture room and in the clinics. Throughout these past four years Dr. Kolmer has taught or directed courses covering all phases of public health, including biostatistics, legal medicine, occupational medicine, medical civics and preventive medicine. For the first and second year medical students Dr. Kolmer conducts a correlation clinic which associates basic sciences with clinical medicine and which, rn addition, serves as a good introduction to the clinical years. As Professor of Medicine at the Dental School, he presents a similar course to dental students, thereby providing knowledge in the common medical problems, especially those which have oral manifestations. Reciprocally, Dr. Kolmer has made arrangements for guest speakers to present common dental problems to the medical students in the hope that with mutual understanding the physician and the dentist can in the future work together for better health. While thus building seriously for future improved medical practice. Dr. Kolmer has at the same time injected the special flavor of his own personality into his courses and lectures, providing most importantly excellent medica: instruction, but also providing humor and entertainment, combining all to leave us with an indelible impression of greatness. Dr. John A. Kolmer, the scientist, the physician, will be proclaimed by history. Professor John A. Kolmer, the man. is proclaimed by the class of 1954, and it is to him that this yearbook is affectionately and gratefully dedicated. Public Health Lecture In the Office
