He is also a gifted teacher and lecturer; the Aeg’ pacing the podium for an hour without a note in his hand delivering an orderly, coherent lecture on a difficult subject was an experience few will forget. ‘Gus Peale, co-chief of the department, coidd do the same thing, almost as if the material was being read from a book. Where the ‘Aeg’ is austere and distant, ‘Gus’ is a warm and friendly person, who could always be relied upon to hand out a few useful tidbits on Tuesday before the Wednesday test, such as who was giving what percentage of the questions and how ambiguous the ‘Chiefs’ page would be. (The ‘Aeg’ had an annoying habit of asking questions on material which wouldn’t be covered for another month, and asking them in such a way that three out of four answers always appeared correct.) ‘Gus’ was as deaf as a post but this did not prevent him from giving his usual fine scries of lectures. Other members of this department were impressive, too - -Harvey Watts, who could do a complete autopsy while delivering a comprehensive lecture on the particular pathologic process exhibited by the patient without breaking stride once; Elizabeth Lautsch, a frantic female whose obvious genuine interest in the student and in her teaching both at lecture and in gross pathology laboratory, impressed us all; Walt Levy, one of the nicest gentlemen a person could meet, who conducted the micropathology in a fashion which made even that potentially tedious subject interesting; James Arey, the fascinating Chief of Pathology from St. Christopher’s Hospital; Tas-soni, Graham, Campbell, Fite, Brody, Smith - each excellent in his own way. Pathology at Temple is a great and stimulating experience, and once a routine had been established and the initial trauma of an autopsy sustained — not at all impossible to cope with so long as one i erscvercd. Side by side with Pathology ran Microbiology, again in usually friendly competition for the students’ time. This department was not as stimulating perhaps as the Pathology group, but did a fine job in its own right. There were times such as when a Path test on Wednesday was followed by a Micro test on Saturday. that we wished Earle Spaulding and his department would evaporate, but by and large, the microbiological experience was enjoyable. The lectures varied from extraordinarily good to extraordinarily bad, with Earle himself occupying both ends and the middle of this range at different times. This author 26

ous, where is the man who has so much as to be out of clanger?” SOPHOMORE YEAR And t!u master word is WORK. William Osier The Sophomore year began early on Tuesday after Labor Day — in the middle of a heat wave. Many of us had come back a few days early, bidding fond farewell to Somers Point and other vacation spots, to assist in the cleaning and refurbishing of the decaying fraternities, which is traditionally the Sophomore’s lot. With the help of continuous infusions of cold beer, the job was soon done, and the houses ready to attract a new group of Freshmen. First semester Sophomore year is a time of Pathology and Microbiology. These two courses together at the same time provide a prodigious amount of material to be covered, more even than second semester Freshmen year. One wonders how the student QF ' AMtMd ACIPS r can accomplish so much in a short time; this very question was in the back of our minds the day classes started and for some time thereafter. The answer became obvious after ‘awhile — granted that the amount of material was excessive, the situation differed from the preceding semester in that both courses were interesting, well taught, and of obvious importance to the practice of medicine. This combination made the semester considerably easier than we had anticipated, and in retrospect, it was generally the best semester during the four years. Everyone worked hard, very hard, because they had to. and especially because they wanted to. This is not to imply that it was all pure pleasure, because it wasn't, but all agreed that the long hours and hard work were well worth the return. Pathology began with a Bang, by Ernest Aegerter giving a series of bold lectures on the general principles of his discipline. This austere and somewhat distant department head, known behind his back as either “the Chief’ or “the Acg,” is one of the truly remarkable personalities on the Temple staff. He is able to create an impression of such Olympian grandeur, of such complete self-possession at all times, of an intellect greater than the sum of that of his paltry students, and is so adept at dissolving egos with the quiet barbed comment, that all regarded him with a respect approaching reverence. The man is a brilli- 25

Ken Schrcck was consistently good, despite his monotone delivery, and Ted Anderson was competent. Sam Eisenberg always gave a good talk, but trying to remember the names and life cycles of all those parasites drove us nearly crazy. The lab was tedious at times, quite malodorous at others, but generally informative. It was a worth- while experience writing the required paper, if only to see how bad some medical writing can be, though sitting in the Library pecking away at the project while most of the country was enjoying Christmas holidays was a tiresome situation. Finally, February was at hand, the exams were taken, and it was all over but the shouting. Again, some few there were who didn’t make it, and some there were who had to fight the good fight again through the summer months. But everyone felt relieved and pleased on that Saturday in February, with the ‘AegY praise of our class still fresh in our ears and the prospect of a good blow -out in store that evening at the Alden Park Manor. We didn’t have time for socializing very often, but when we did, we went at it in a vigorous manner to make up for lost time. Actually, the semester past had been anything but lost time; in days to come we would look back wistfully to Sophomore first semester as the educational high point in our four years. Having weathered that semester, we felt we knew all there was to know about Medicine, and we engaged in endless trading of differential diagnosis with the Junior and Senior students. Ignorance is bliss! To the Sophomore, every problem in medicine appears cither black or wfhite; the truth of the matter being that the usual situation is varying shades of gray. This we had still to learn as clinical clerks. Second semester Sophomore year was a time of Pharmacology and Hematology, plus about forty other short introductory lecture scries spanning the major divisions of clinical medicine. There weren’t really forty, but at times it scented that way. The semester was reputed to be a relaxing one by those who had gone before, but we soon learned that if you were conscientious about all the courses offered, the 27
