KOLMER, M.D. 1886-1962 Dr. Kolmer achieved worldwide recognition through his research in serology and immunology. A pioneer in the field of community health, he founded the Institute of Public Health and Preventive Medicine in 1912. He joined Temple's faculty in 1932; he became Emeritus Professor in 1957, but continued working at the Institute and the School of Medicine until his death. The serologic test for syphilis bearing his name is used extensively in clinical laboratories throughout the world. The development of broncho-esophagology is one of the most unique advances in 20th century medicine In 1917, Dr. Chevalier Jackson brought to Philadelphia and eventually to Temple this remarkable facility. He devoted his entire professional life, spanning more than 60 years, to the development of now and often life saving instruments and techniques. With his son, the late C. L. Jack-son, he instituted the famous yearly courses in broncho-esophagology at Temple Physicians from all parts of the world come for the lectures, demonstrations, and clinic and laboratory practice in managing disease of the esophagus, the larynx, lungs and related structures. CHEVALIER JACKSON, M.D. 1865-1958 The Babcock Surgical Clinic, a composite portrait, was painted by Furmen T. Fink in 1944-45. It was commissioned with the retirement of Dr. Babcock, who for 40 years had served Temple as Professor of Surgery. He was appointed to the chair two years after the School of Medicine was founded. He was a pioneer in spinal anesthesia, stimulated by its possible uses following a visit to France in 1907. Dr. Babcock's fame partly rests on his development of surgical techniques for intestinal cancer and hernia repair, as well as his use of stainless steel wire sutures and the invention of many surgical instruments. Surviving surgeons depicted in the oil portrait are: Dr. William N. Parkinson, Emeritus Dean and Professor of Clinical Surgery (fourth from left, background); Dr. W. Emory Burnett, Emeritus Professor and Chairman of the Department of Surgery (second from left, background); and Dr. George P. Rosemond, present Chairman of the Department (first from left, background). WILLIAM N. PARKINSON. M.D. 1886- W. WAYNE BABCOCK, M.D. 1872-1963 W. EMORY BURNETT, M.D. 1898- Dr. Fay became Professor of Neurology and Neurosurgery in 1929, and chaired the department until 1943. He was an intrepid neurosurgical pioneer. Though some considered him too bold, he provided early insight into techniques in hypothermia and surgery for intractable pain. He was awarded the American Medical Association’s Gold Medal Award. TEMPLE FAY, M.D. 1895-1963 Dr. Spiegel, a neurophysiologist, and Dr. Wycis, a neurosurgeon, collaborated to found a new branch of neurosurgery: stereotaxic surgery (stereoencephalotomy). Their interest in this technique began in an era when prefrontal lobotomy was the recognized procedure for managing functional disorders and intractable pain. Their successful clinical application of stereoencephalotomy in 1947 brought them worldwide prominence. Today, over 28,000 such operations have taken place. They provide treatment for the involuntary movements of Parkinson’s disease and cerebral palsy, as well as for intractable pain and certain types of epilepsy and brain tumors. ERNEST A. SPIEGEL, M.D. 1895- HENRY T. WYCIS, M.D. 1911- O. SPURGEON ENGLISH, M.D. 1901- Dr. English is one of ihe world greats in the field of psychiatry. After attending the University of Maine, he pursued medical training at Jefferson. Montefiore Charity Hospital in Berlin, and Harvard, where he also instructed Coming to Temple in 1933, he was chairman of his department from 1938 until 1964. Dr. English has a prose style which is graceful and eminently readable: he has written innumerable papers and co-authored five books. He has a busy private practice, and with Mrs English continues to lead a vibrant, interesting life. His two sons are physicians: Wes is a surgeon outside of Portland. Maine, and Cal is in this year's graduating class The field of psychosomatic medicine began with Edward Weiss. After many years at Jefferson, he came to Temple in 1932. He began a medical-psychological conference for Temple seniors, where patients from the medical wards were studied psychologically. From this idea and the case material presented, the book Psychosomatic Medicine emerged, co-authored with Dr O. Spurgeon English. From that point on. physicians have been taught that in treating the patient, one cannot separate mind from body, psyche from soma. Dr. Weiss documented for the world of medicine that in understanding illness and sick people, one must include a knowledge of emotional processes within the body, not simply those processes of organic disease. EDWARD WEISS, M.D. 1895-1960 FRANK H. KRUSEN, M.D. 1898- Dr. Krusen was made Associate Dean and Director of the Department of Physical Medicine at Temple in 1925. He left in 1935 for other horizons, returning a few years ago to become Coordinator of the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Center which now bears his name Dr. Krusen was founder and first chairman of the American Board of Physical Medicine and is a member of the President's Executive Committee on Employment of the Handicapped. He is the author or senior editor of nine books and 450 papers. He has extensively researched the application of infrared radiation, microwave and ultrasound diathermy to the practice of medicine. Imago ammi vultus csi —Cicero Dr. Moore, born in Deeth, Nevada, later graduated from the University of California Medical School in 1925 and took his residency at Shriners Hospital in Atlanta. While at Temple, he originated the role of the delayed reduction of fractures and gained international recognition in orthopedic repair Though at times thought to be a supreme individualist and even tyrannical, Dr. Moore is known best for his surgical meticulousness and devotion to anatomic fundamentals He has been past vice president of both the Board and the Academy of Orthopedic Surgery, and was president of the American Orthopedic Association He is, in addition, an ardent ornithologist. JOHN ROYAL MOORE, M.D. 1899- In 1940, Dr. Nelson was appointed Chairman of the Department of Pediatrics at Temple, being made Medical Director of St. Christopher's Hospital for Children in 1947. Under him, a small neighborhood hospital has developed into a complete child health institute and major referral center in the Mid-Atlantic states He is best known as editor of I he Textbook oi Pediatrics which is in its ninth edition and has been translated into numerous languages. A featured speaker at meetings and medical schools throughout the world, he is also known for his earlier contributions in the fields of tuberculosis and juvenile diabetes. WALDO E. NELSON, M.D. 1898- In 1930, when Dr. Chamberlain came east from Stanford University, his department oi radiology at Temple was one of the first to boast a well equipped machine shop and engineering assistants. He was a neuroradiologist before this subspecialty actually existed. A charter member of the Harvey Cushing Society, he was president in 1950. Among his outstanding contributions to the field of radiology were the development of air myelography and studies of basilar invagination in the skull. W. EDWARD CHAMBERLAIN, M.D. 1892- Dr. Bacon graduated irom Temple in 1925 and acquired extensive training and experience in proctology both in this country and abroad He returned in 1942 as Professor and Head or the Division of Proctologic 5urgery. He is founder and chairman oi the Colon and Rectal Surgical Section of the International College of Surgeons Dr. Bacon is the author or co-author of fifteen textbooks on proctology and is credited with 344 articles. He has nearly thirty years of experience in surgery for rectal cancer, and was one of the first apostles of the famed pull-through operation. Dr. Bacon was the founder and first editor of the SKULL in 1925 HARRY E.

Of course, our palmar eccrine hyperactivity was not secondary to the Philadelphia weather. We mingled in the sea of unfamiliar people, ready to embark on the voyage of a medical career that we had wanted so much to make. The occasional familiar face was, by its contrast, surprisingly comforting. Dr. Robert Bucher bid us welcome in one of the few times we ever saw our extremely busy dean. Though much less charitable in many of our admission interviews, Dr. Arthur Nelson assuaged our nerves and allayed some fears about the up-coming academic workload. It did feel good to know that we were 137 out of more than 2000 applicants. Dr. John Franklin Huber, beneficent and paternal, told us his nickname and the reasons for the SXU's. Times certainly had changed since the previous generation's freshmen were told to look on either side of you — one of you three won't graduate. We were now entering a (partially) enlightened educational system where the pernicious sequellae of competition were militated against. The primary goal of studying was always to be knowledge, not simply being better than the next guy. All of this was rather soothing, particularly in the face of the student summer research projects to which we listened each morning. Such heady stuff as The Separation of Infectious from Transducing CF 04 Phage by BU labeling or Thymidine Kinase in Iso-proteranol-stimulated DNA synthesis was rather awesome to incoming freshmen, particularly when some of the speakers were our own classmates! For the rest of that week, we sat for photographic portraits by our loquacious Bachrach of North Broad Street. Grappling with our repressions, death wishes and latent fantasies, we were psychoanalyzed by Rorshachs and Make A Picture Story Tests. Cal English, genetically the most well-adjusted of us all, couldn't take it and racked up his cycle on the Expressway.

HUBER, M.D., PH.D. Professor and Chairman Wonders are many, and none is more wonderful than man —Sophocles Antigone And then . . . into the breech. Colored pencils poised, we galloped through a college semester of Embryology in the first morning, it seemed; glutei maximi poised (on the edge of our seats), we were introduced to our first cadaver, with proper skin dissection technique supplied by Our Leader. Summer vacation was over, even if Olenick was still in Miami. The spectrum of personalities in the Anatomy department is a broad one, from the ultraviolet coolness and efficiency of a Raymond Truex to the infra-red warmth of a Robert Troyer or Carson Schneck. There is a sense of intimacy with this faculty which is not duplicated elsewhere in the basic science years; it is probably the hours of personal instruction at the cadaver and at the microscope which makes us feel we know these men so well. John Franklin Huber is the boss, of course, and the one we felt we knew the best; he in turn knew most of our first names, and could still pluck them out at our graduation. Some felt “Daddy tended to mother us at times, though it is difficult to fault occasional effusiveness that is only part of an intense dedication to teaching well. A true McLuhanist before it was in vogue, Dr. Huber saw the medium as a big part of the message and was constantly seeking ways to improve the learning of Anatomy. Lung models, diagrams of caudal anesthesia, movies of the larynx, and innumerable medical illustrations done in cooperation with the student's friend, Frank Netter, were some of Dr. Huber's efforts. From D. H. Lawrence to William Burroughs, certainly no man of letters has described the anatomy of the penis with such a flourish. His three-dimensional slide series certainly did for the phallus what Melville did for the whale. Take away the broad green cravat, Phi Beta Kappa key tie clasp, and easy exam page, add a Peruvian accent to a darker mustache and (similarly slicked back) hair, and you have Dr. Lorenzo Rodriquez-Peralta. This bimanually dextrous artist had a cohort in his Che Guevera-like plot to overthrow the Picture Page with impossible questions in his own section. Gail Crouse was the other guerrilla; his low-key, though lengthy dissertations in both embryology and gross anatomy, were in contrast to his exam pages. The nickname of Crouse the Mouse That Roared has stuck. LORENZO RODRIGUEZ-PERALTA, M.D. . SCHNECK, PH.D., M.D. There is little doubt that Carson Schneck was the favor- ite gross anatomy professor. For one thing, we realized and he realized that he knew more about joints than Russell Woodburne . But it was his clinical approach which seemed to make his lectures to easy to learn. Removed from its overall relevance to clinical medicine, Anatomy can be as dead as a corpse. It was obviously Dr. Schneck's M.D. and chronological proximity to medical school that made the cadaver sit up and speak to us. M. NOBLE BATES. PH D. J. ROBERT TROYER, PH.D. The remainder of anatomy was divided between neuroanatomy and histology. Dr. Noble Bates's morning prolixity often betrayed his excellent reputation as an embryologist and anatomist. Occasionally those soporific morning lectures were interrupted by assorted pumpkins, jokes, and parties, particularly the Bates birthday in the middle of the reticulo-endothelial system. Dr. Robert Troyer's classic utterance as he marched in with the pastry was, Come on, have a piece of cake, Noble; you're not doing anything.” Dr. Trover is also remembered for his epinephrine-mobilizing, tympanic membrane-shattering slide review sessions best described as low key bedlam, and his keeping us on the lookout for Bates's three Pacinian corpuscles in our micro exam. STEVEN J. PHILLIPS, M.D. ROGER H. DAVIDHEISER, PH D. Straight man for the sixth floor s Rowan and Martin was Stephan Phillips. Dr. Phillips's bow tie. baggy pants, hyperkinetic ambulation and erudite lectures provided contrast to Roger Davidheiser. the low key pipe smoker who frequently confounded our grey matter instead of compounding our knowledge. RAYMOND C. TRUEX, PH.D. Neuroanatomy was strictly ruled over by Raymond Truex, whose stunning knowledge held many of us in awe. Unfortunately, the Truex and Carpenter text lost many somewhere between the optic disc and the hippocampal memory pathways. Some tried to use Manter and Gatz's primer. (Is the inferior cerebellar peduncle the same as the restiform body? Or is that the brachium conjunctivum? No . . . that's the superior cerebellar peduncle.) When it was sink or swim at the end of the semester, however, most of us managed to reach shore. The social event of the year certainly was the Christmas party, some of the Yuletide cheer having been provided by George's bar. Highlights included the Huber nasal hair model (the apical superior postero-lateral almost medial vibrissa lies lateral to its inferior basal postero-medial partner, but in the left nares only). Al Hartman did a priceless imitation of Dr. Phillips. Dr. Troyer's gift was a hand with the extensor digitorum of the middle finger contracted, in honor of a certain slide on the micro test. His poetic response is repeated elsewhere on these pages. After Christmas it was all Neuro, it seemed, and finally the semester was over — not with a bang, but a whimper. I fmd my office somewhat less organized than my mind. ODE TO THE CLASS OF 1969 You'll miss the roll of the cart for the projection machine. With your heart in your mouth and a chill in your spleen.

M.D. Professor and Chairman All animals are equal, but some animals arc more equal than others. —George Orwell Animal Farm PETER R. LYNCH. PH.D. MARY P. WIEDEMAN, PH D. CATHARINE MICHIE, M.D. ALFRED FINCK. PH D. IANICE H. C. LEVITT. PH.D. GUIDO ASCANIO, M.D. After an extraordinarily generous semester break of a day and one-half, we plunked ourselves down in 316 to begin Physiology. With no welcome or course introduction, a short plump man with a crewcut began racing through the membrane physiology of active transport and the Gibbs-Donnan effect. Simultaneously we began our frantic scribbling to get down every utterance — a Promethian task pursued throughout the semester, to the point of carpal-pedal spasm. We had left our warm Anatomical womb, and the new ambient milieu had certainly become frigid. That we would become mere numbers on numberless exam pages did not make us feel more at home. Morton J. Oppenheimer's reputation had preceded our non-introduction to him. In essence, it was one of a temper 3 microns long; with this ready source of anxiety, many of us tip-toed around the north end of the third floor with all the imperturbalion of facing free fall without a parachute. In truth, however, Oppie only blew two times. Outraged once during a lecture, he summarily demanded Steve Solomon to sit in the front of the room, for reasons not apparent to nine tenths of us. His second fit of apoplexy had an obvious etiology, and it was our day of infamy. A big chunk of the lab had cut in order to study for the Biochem midterm, and six dogs, prepared for the experiment, had to be sacrificed. It was pretty lamentable commentary on future physicians, and we paid for it with mental anguish over the change in examination policy to unannounced tests. This only lasted for a few weeks, however, until Oppie mellowed again. While waiting apprehensively for further eruptions of Mt. Oppenheimer, we continued to write furiously. Certainly more was said and more notes were taken on the physiology of the heart in one week, than was previously thought humanly possible. Little did we know the Aeg was only a semester away! If the chairmen of Physiology and Anatomy are diametric opposites, they are no more so than the respective labs. We saw this semester the vitality and mechanisms with which function complements anatomic structure. Particularly for those non-science majors in college, there is excitement and some awe in the initial inspection of as simple a phenomenon as denervated, devascularized uterine smooth muscle exercising intrinsic contractions with no aid other than a saline solution. Dr. Oppenheimer's exhibition of the muscle units firing individually in his own forearm was an interesting introduction to muscle physiology. These early labs gave way to the world of kymographs, smoked paper, turtle hearts, frogs, oscilloscopes, circus movement, body fluids and tubular max's, gfr's and creatinine clearances. Those of us with surgical aspirations were eager to practice the cannulizations and tracheotomies; no one really knew whether those who avoided these procedures were future internists, or merely concerned about having Oppie boil if their dog cooled. After The Chairman, other notables on the staff in- cluded Peter Lynch, scuba diver and physical fitness enthusiast, and cheerful Joan Cault, whose lectures were the most relaxed two weeks in the course. Mary Wiedeman covered the eye and the thyroid; behind the bangs and batwings, that drawl suggested the good humor of a southern plantation belle who liked bourbon and branch water, and bit the cork out of the bottle. We were the class that finished Edwin Ohler, or so he said in his last lecture. Dr. Ohler left for a deanship at a midwestern college, leaving behind some nervously presented fluid and renal lectures; no one could understand why, since they appeared to come verbatim from Pitt's Text. Some of our teaching retained its Latin flavor from first semester, as Frank Barrera attempted to breathe a little life into pulmonary function, and Guido Ascanio tried to fire our Bakelite synapses with CNS physiology. Jan Levitt’s (nee Christiansen's) lectures made us feel somewhat decerebrate, and her decorticate cats made us a little queezy Theodore Rodman's mimeographed blood lectures were excellent BIOCHEMISTRY RONALD A.

Correspondingly, at least 90% of the world scientific literature can be regarded as describing systems or discussing problems generally within this subject area. Crap is known to exist in great natural abundance (2, 3) Some edible forms of the material are knosvn (2. J). The metallic form has been reported to possess rather recalcitrant properties and to be of high rigidity (4) Other lorms appear to have a wide range of properties, ot which the prominent features seem to be a lack of suitability or adaptability ot the material as regards to any possible relevance or practical application (5l. Little work has been done on the purification of this material. This may be due to a lack ot demand (6). However, small amounts of crap have been purified in some laboratories (7). Lately, there has been evidence of an increased demand tor crap, particularly for distribution in high-ranking Government circles (8) In view of this, it is felt that preparation of the pure material in large quantities might be worthwhile. —from the official organ of the Society for Basic Irreproduceable Research, M. Kaye, author, JONATHAN H. CILLEY, PH.D. Biochemistry was a mixed blessing—there was more afternoon free time, but getting up for those 8:00 lectures was pure drudgery. Lecture began, of course, at 8 hours and 0 seconds, and this precision reflected the exactitude with which Dr. Robert Hamilton approached his specialty. It also hints at the air of formality in which the various departmental members exist: the chairman may have been 'Bones to us, but to his faculty, it was Dr. Hamilton or more likely, Sir . Most students feel that the railroad train over Dr. Hamilton's desk is not simply a painting, but a canvas and oil metaphor of punctuality. Others point out that if you could check his timepiece, it would surely be a Hamilton watch. His penchant for punctuality is not inflexible, however. I was late once he remarked, before telling us how his Wayne Avenue trolley had jumped the track and he had helped to push it back. Since his students had waited for him then, he permitted a half hour delay of the lecture on the morning of our semester's biggest snowstorm. Bones had a dry and restrained wit that was both refreshing and genuine. It was equally evident that he loved teaching, for he did a large majority of the lec- turing himself. The only other major share of teaching hours was occupied by Dr. Robert Baldridge, who is not just a biochemist but associate dean of the graduate school and new assistant vice president for research. Dr. Baldridge covered amino acid and protein chemistry in his own noteless style; in the midst of equations and arrows heading every which way, he would utter a Well ... so what?’’. We too were sort of wondering what it all meant. He would then, with additional formulas and chalk dust, put everything in the proper context, so that we could make some order out of our scrawled chaos. Drs. Ronald Pieringer and Leonard (Lennie Lipid) Norcia essentially covered all the beta oxidations and long chain configurations of the other foodstuff besides PRO and CHO. We were kept in line during laboratory hours by Dr. Jonathan Cilley, Bones' boy Friday who cracked the whip with a limp wrist. Most of the more stimulating and contemporary aspects of biochemistry were presented by Dr. Gerald Litwack, whose field of interest isenzymology. In one's reflective travels back to Biochem, the mental wheels come to a grinding halt as the image of the laboratories comes into view. The three year old picture is a little out of focus, like a home movie, but everything is there: pipettes, spectrophotometers, endless graphs, pH meter, distilled water, and of course the Kjeldahl procedures (endless fudging was necessary to correct those serum sodiums of 338, creatinines of 45 and non-protein nitrogens of 0 0003). With odors that approximated the symptomatology of uncal phenomena, never did North Philadelphia air smell so clean; we all used to gather on that rickety Tioga street balcony and look at the huge Harbison milk bottle, in our respite from the stench. A senior is delineated by his white pants, and we were just as obviously freshmen. Our badge was the urine jug. Empty, it was out in the open and obvious— full and hidden in a paper bag, it was no less covert. Sophomores' comments and snickers were as tedious as the ones engendered first semester, when we and our lab coats rode the elevators to and from the gross lab. The Spring breezes beckoned us from our marble bench tops, and kept us wondering if the winds of change would ever blow through the freshmen Biochemistry program. The lab experiments were frequently criticized as being both ancient and dull. Most afternoons were cookbook exercises in unimaginative procedures that once moved Rocco DeMasi to comment in the elevator Gee Dr. Hamilton, that was quite thrilling. For some real excitement, I think I'll go watch Pat do a few haircuts. The object of most scorn was the interminable lab conference. Inevitably these were long and tedious sessions. Sometimes they were archaic (a morning with the Van Slyke apparatus), sometimes simply redundant (2% hours watching flame photometry). A classmate remarked that it was as though one turned on an educational TV station for stimulation and found the choices to be an Air Force documentary, a religious short, the morning farm report, or a Portuguese language lesson. Fortunately a good deal of stimulation came in the clinical correlations Diabetes, fluid and electrolytes, and hematologic biochemistry were interesting aspects, as were Dr. Auerbach and Dr. Baldridge's sojourns into the hereditary enzymatic disorders. Economy still starts at home, though, and the new curriculum demands a 50% reduction in core teaching time. This should enhance laboratory experience by resecting the excess fat and reducing the dead space. PATHOLOGY RENATO L.

CHILD, M.D. Back from a summer of fun, we returned to our familiar 316 with an unfamiliar figure up front. It was, of course, Dr. Ernest Aegerter, who proceeded to give a noteless, effortless three hour lecture on the history of his specialty, flavored with a tossed salad of disease entities: okranosis, Congo red tests, reticuloendothelio-ses, glycogen storage diseases, amyloidosis, lead poisoning ( ... and I would read the first 8 chapters .. This was The Chief, then, about whom we had heard so much. He was properly the one to launch us on our Odyssey in search of clinical knowledge, for pathology is the gateway to medicine. We worked very hard that semester, while our gyri and sulci got a little bruised from all the facts thrown at them. Every time we turned around, there was a test, but all in all, the course was the high point of the basic sciences. Students derived much laughter from The Chief's idiosyncrasies, but the comedy provided a metaphorical chastity belt against being raped on his exam pages. He actually provided some of the wit himself. Well it's nice to meet you, doctor—I've heard a lot about you and it's all BAD. Your class has achieved the highest grades ever in this course. When I heard that, my first impulse was, of course, to check the adding machine.” Few doubt The Chief's national and probably international reputation as a bone pathologist. The newest edition of his book written with John Kirkpatrick ( The Aeg and I ) has received additional acclaim. He has also assembled a superb teaching staff, and it's hard to know where to begin. Dr. Cus Peale has long been known as the benevolent foil for Dr. Aegerter's irascibility. As with classes before us, he came through with some exam hints ( Since The Chief is in Aspen, I don't think he'll hear me say that you needn't worry about skin on the Final. ) Leo Durocher's dictum notwithstanding, some nice guys finish first. Dr. Peale's series of lectures on lues, the pathology of inflammation, the Cl tract and the kidney were gems of timing and conciseness. As seniors, we see the clarity come through in the surgical path conferences, or in Grand Rounds. And, every clinician knows the one opinion needed to confirm a difficult liver biopsy or surgical specimen is that of Cus Peale's. In effective contrast to Dr. Peale's cool demeanor. Dr. Elizabeth Lautsch exudes a fervor and compassion for teaching that was rarely matched by any teacher we ever had. For air those many hours explaining Koda-chromes and gross specimens to us, her enthusiasm never flagged. She expected and got our rapt attention; any exception to this (Rocco got canned from one morning conference) was quickly forgotten the next day. Perhaps most importantly, she has a physician's compassion and presence of mind to have spotted a rude student outburst in one of her slide sessions as something atypical The aplomb with which she handled these incipient signs of a mental break was most laudable. The remainder of the staff was equally effective in its individual strengths. James Arey's excellent introduction to pediatric disease was delivered in a friendly and knowledgeable manner that is his trademark. The news media told us LBJ's vocal nodule was removed two days after Dr. Harvey Watts had mentioned it was an occupational disease process in politicians. Dr. Walter Levy's approach to female reproductive pathology had a sprinkling of physical diagnosis and therapy, and, as with all medical science, the clinical enhances the pre-clinical approach, and vice-versa. Ernest Tassoni's lectures in chromosomal and endocrine pathology remain excellent sources of information as we grapple with patients ill with these entities. A superfluity of lectures, as William Osier noted, causes ischial bursitis, but we had little time to sit around on our glutei maximi. Conferences, clinical and lab pathology, gross conferences, cpc’s, autopsy today , microscopic path, the gross museum, and Dr. Baserga's Wednesday lectures in biochemical pathology always kept up hustling. Whenever we stopped to breathe, there was an exam—each one ulcerogenic even if it only counted 2V2% of our final grade. We liked all the help we could get, be it a Peale pearl or old tests. Our chagrin was sizable when we found out the questions on the penis page were the same as the year before, but the correct answers were different. MICROBIOLOGY EARLE H. SPAULDING, PH.D. Professor and Chairman . ' ............... ■� 'in M uni. KENNETH R. CUNDY, PH.D. i There once was a girl from Bombay Who loved to roll in the hay; She contracted tabes. Had saber shin babies. And thought she was Queen of the May. —Anon THEODORE G. ANDERSON, PH.D. And there was this other course that no one had warned us about as freshmen — about these little beasties with their funny names. Many of us weren't quite prepared to wade through chocolate agar and Sabaraud's medium in addition to doing battle with the Aeg. We quickly wised up . . . but were we ever wise enough? As youthful microbe hunters, some of us left a little to be desired — the exception being, of course, Tom Daly. Dr. Daly, you remember, won the Anton van Leeuwenhoek swamp broth award for doing more to burn Listeria Monocytogenes into our minds than any professor. They had tried, however. Leading the way was Dr. Earle Spaulding, a kind man who gave a good deal of the lectures and had an uncanny memory for the first and last names of every class member, or so it seemed. After Dr. Spaulding's introductory notes on antisepsis and the subsequent lab proving that Old Crow killed more bacteria on contact than Listerine, we met sleepy-eyed Gerry Shockman. He leaned with one elbow on the lectern and read ruminations on derepression and cell wall, synthesis with all the vigor and imaginativeness of a hibernating bear. At least Leonard Zubrzycki's words kept us awake. A truly funny man, he kept us laughing repeatedly at his Dear Abby columns. Like a good clown. Dr. Z. could make his audience run the gamut of emotions; when we tried to understand the genetics notes, tears were often profuse. Leo Streletz avoided such outbursts, however, for he took no notes whatsoever, in this or any other course; he merely listened attentively and read a lot. Soon many of us had followed the same tack, with the institution of the Nefarious Note-taking System. Although suggested to us by Dr. Baserga, Dr. Aegerter wanted nothing to do with it. Dr. Spaulding, however, was eager to try, though little did he expect to find his students playing pinochle in the lounge while he was lecturing on Chagas's Disease. That cartoon of a tape recorder talking to a classroom full of tape recorders drew many laughs at the bulletin board; it was soon replaced by a letter from the Chairman expressing disappointment over our attitude and poor test scores. One fact emerged from all the clamor; most of the typed notes were well organized and concise, and they received little enhancement from personal delivery. If put together in handouts, we could have much better spent our time studying, say, clinical aspects of infectious disease in patients across the street. Morton Klein's lectures were an exception to the above. They were a joy to listen to, and were, with their heavy clinical emphasis, a fine educational experience. We were afforded the experience of other clinical microbiologists as well. Theodore Anderson informed us that pasteurized milk still has a Hell of a lot of bugs in it. Ken Cundy, a willing friend to stu- dents and eager to help, properly vilified malignant pustules and Woolsorter's Disease in our minds. And, no one can forget Tony Lamberti's confrontations with Dr. Eisenberg and the rest of the M.D.-Ph.D. Establishment. Like Pirandello characters, we spent our Christmas vacation in search of authors (with unpronounceable names), as well as obscure Rumanian reprints and other bric-a-brac at the College of Physicians. Though listening to other student papers became tedious, most of us found the experience of journal research a good one, and a necessary introduction to future medical writing. We often wondered, however, if our own syntax could be as sloppy and prosaic as this ultra-scientific goo that we had waded through. It would be remiss not to note the high point of this semester: Dr. Fritz Blank's linguistic fluidity in pronouncing Trichophyton Rrrru-brrrum ! ANTHONY J.

STANLEY C. GLAUSER, M.D., PH.D. ELINOR M. GLAUSER, M.D. On February 2,1967, the groundhog saw his shadow, but for us Spring had already begun. The sap of clinical medicine was running in our veins. Somewhere in those one and one-half years studying, functioning and being treated as graduate students, we almost forgot we were at Temple to be doctors. Short term goals of being prepared for that omnipresent next exam were now exchanged for long range efforts in learning to be a physician In keeping with the spirit of our New Enlightenment, we blocked Boards out of our minds and avoided studying Pharmacology for at least two months. It was this long before the first exam, and the absence of a semester break potentiated our fatigue for memorizing notes. The department of Pharmacology was tolerant (up to a point) and educationally avant garde. In response to past student suggestions, exams were sliced to the bone. Extraneous labs were resected, the remaining few being effective and to the point (the flair—or flare—with which Dr. Ben Rusy demonstrated cyclopropane’s detonating propensity was emphatic enough to encourage the most slipshod student to test the conductivity of his OR booties). Mimeographed clinical oharmacology topics were presented most effectively. All lectures in fact had complete outlines in the lab manual which facilitated studying, notetaking, and probably lecturing as well. This is not to say that we didn't write a lot, for we did. Particularly in the first half of the semester, we were inundated with neurologic, autonomic, and kinetic pharmacology that threatened to bury us like topsoil under a manure spreader. But this would be the last semester where Dr. reads it off the page and Mr. writes it on a page. Dr. Roger Sevy’s staff was a relaxed one, with a reasonable sense of humor (remember the movie A Career in Pharmacology”?) and an honest interest in the stu- dents. We tested Martin Adler's good nature by cutting his lab for the rights and rites of a Spring day, and he asked questions from it on every subsequent exam. Elinor Clauser had her husband demonstrate the euni-choid vocal effects of certain gases. )oe Lesser found Dr. Harakal’s lectures on diuretics disconcerting, for he was increasingly bothered by frequency during lectures. |oe was also famous for going to the A D. the morning after a big night on the town, to find that he was in ethanol-induced atrial fibrillation. Dr. Marc Reidenberg had the most novel approach of the semester—a week long Science Fair” on endo-crinologic pharmacology, devoting it completely to contraception. The whole concept was refreshing, and we examined the problem through the eyes of urologists, gynecologists, pharmacologists, endocrinologists, and physicians in public health and preventive medicine. Dr. Fred Rogers' talk was one of the great ones in our four years at Temple. The balance of the semester was a potpourri of clinical medicine. Physical Diagnosis lectures repeated what was in Zatuchni or DeGowen; we should have spent Wednesday and Saturday at the bedside. In our lectures on the medical subspecialties, we met many of the clinical heavyweights: Channock, Schuman, Adlin, Cohen, Blumstein et al. We explored hematology in depth, only to find out that someone probing for his veins made Roger Gustafson pass out. Other lecture hours dwelled on surgery, pediatrics, the doctor-patient relationship, and anatomy Dr Shimkin gave a series of lectures on the epidemiology of carcinomas which lost some of its effect when we saw him smoking in the hall. We came to appreciate (if not completely understand) the inherent logic in Stanley Schorr's biostatistics. Dr Elmer Gardner taught us a lot of psychiatry, but what subconscious mechanism made him bring only eleven RICHARD A. KERN', M.D. Do not eat anything In tropical climes unless it grows four feet above the ground, has a rind, and is not produced in night soil. In the Orient particularly, there is crap everywhere. copies of the final exam? The thirteen examinations over seventeen school days caught most of us by surprise, and at the end of this marathon, National Boards awaited us. If this weren't ludicrous enough, Terry Kane was given the Dean's award right in the middle of our Pharmacology final. junior year was a telescoping of the previous semester, and a little more knowledge of clinical medicine kept coming into view. In Physical Diagnosis, the workup of our surrogate patient took weeks rather than minutes to complete, and for all we knew, a routine physical started with a pelvic or joint exam and ended with auscultation of the heart. At least this year we started working patients up in a more organized ceph-alo-caudad fashion, though our first few still seemed to take weeks. As new M.D.'s, we are confident at the bedside; the sense of obligation in a doctor-patient relationship falls on the patients, for they seek cure from us. But back in junior year, we seemed in their debt—they were the sources of our learning, not the objects of our treatment. From some of our patients' looks, we knew they knew this third workup was somewhat spurious, our deferential explanations notwithstanding. Fortunately, few challenged our requests to do breast, rectal and pelvic exams, and we soon developed a patina on our sense of confidence. Both as Juniors and second semester Sophomores, we divided our days between patients and lectures, but now the time spent on each was reversed. Up until three o'clock each day, we were at hospitals for surgery, medicine, neurology, Ob-Gyn, PM R, dermatology and pediatrics. Surgery and medicine, like Gaul, weredivided into three parts: Einstein to the north, Germantown to the west, and Episcopal to the east. Generally we were exposed more to personalities than to programs. In surgery at Germantown, the vitality and charisma of Dr. John Harris was the service's strongest point. Dr. Ralph Mays had a large attending staff to whom students were assigned in medicine. One came away with knowledge somewhat in proportion to (1) student initiative (2) number of patients on the service, and (3) number of rounds made by the attending prior to our 3 pm departure. Dr. Franklin Fite's conferences, Dr. Barton Young's excellent radiology staff, and a busy emergency room were strong elements in both the medical and surgery programs. At Albert Einstein's Northern Division, student days were also loosely structured. Surgical experience revolved around the busy services of Drs. Pareira, Bannett, Amsterdam and Greenspan. The logic and completeness of the eminent Dr. Tom Durant provided the foundation for much of the medical clerkship. Some of the creaky towers and spires looked pretty tottering down at Front and Lehigh, but Episcopal Hospital's programs were strong. Dr. Gefter and Zatuchni's medical rotation attracted several students back for general medicine senior year. Though impressive in its own right, Medicine's reputation was overshadowed by Surgery. In fact, in no other specialty or hospital was so much effort devoted to the junior student. So as not to conflict with our participation in morning surgery or afternoon office hours and rounds, the excellent didac- tic conferences were at noon. These and other staff conferences were practical, concise, and organized with juniors in mind, unlike other hospitals and specialties where we sort of tagged along and picked up what we could. The private attending staff was excellent, interested in us, and busy. Three full time men, Drs. Stahlgren, Glauser and Deutsch, were dynamic in their obvious dedication to teaching and to their specialty. To no one's surprise, the senior program at Episcopal was stuffed to capacity. In Dermatology, Dr. Urbach debunked the television myths of dandruff and athlete's foot while presenting a most enjoyable series of introductory lectures in Dermatology. Though PGH was a gloomy atmosphere to learn neurology. Dr. Toglia and Dr. Haase provided a fine three weeks of introduction. Obstetrics was fun for the activists among us, for in delivering babies, one got to do, rather than stand around and watch. Physical Medicine was relaxed but educational. Pediatrics at St. Chris was not intended for juniors—conferences were for the house staff (on Wilson's Disease, Subacute Sclerosing Leukoencephalopathy and similar esoterica) while practical pediatrics was limited to an occasional resident's discussion with us. In vivid contrast was the great effort of Dr. Philip Barba, who took an extreme amount of his time teaching us completeness in pediatric physical diagnosis. One couldn't go through junior year without hearing the sound of shovels churning up the earth again. The new medical school was being built just in time to be dedicated the month we graduated. No one can imagine how that crane fell across Broad Street at rush hour without braining a student or creasing a car. We watched the pre-formed sides being put into place, and contemplated the fresh city air that had so quickly made the adjacent research building a tawny brown. Curricular upheaval was progressing too. We kept rifling through our mound of electives, somewhat frustrated that we couldn’t possibly take all the courses we wanted. For the junior year lectures, Dick Dabb got the notetaking system reinstituted, and it was a great boon. Writing down every word, rather than listening and absorbing a man s presentation, is an uninspired fossil from a teaching dinosaur long since extinct. Attendance usually hovered around one-half, but the avenue of explanation was a two way street. A good deal of the lecture material was clear and relevant, whether one came or not; most felt that the facts were not measurably enhanced by hearing the presentation in person, and the time was better spent acquiring clinical experi-encef although a lot went home and slept). Fortunately, rare was the lecture that matched the extreme of intellectual insult offered to us by the ophthalmologists; their presentations were prosaic, unimaginative, and in short, awful (offal). To contrast, frequent talks were noteworthy: Dr. lain Black on pediatric cardiology. Dr. Haase on neurology, many of the orthopedic and neurosurgery presentations, Dr. Barney Dlin and Dr. Keith Fischer's psychiatric expositions ... just to note a few. In addition we met (and re-met) some of Temple's ' personalities. Dr. John Mineheart's candor, humor and philosophy were breaths of fresh air, even if his subject was stifling to those not surgically oriented. In his morning cast sessions. Dr. Howard Steel taught us to be tucking fools, while Dr. Les Karafin upheld the ribald tradition in urology, as well as giving us all the exam questions. Dr. Richard Kern highlighted tropical and infectious diseases with rhetorical flourishes and historical footnotes, while his lab coat in which he lectured was proof that emeritus professors must lose their free laundry privileges. Dr. Cohen brought up the cafe coronary again, and by the year's end we had all primed ourselves to do that emergency trach. Dave Leslie showed he knew the switches, dials and projectors better than anyone from Medical Communications, and Tim Hopf, not once but twice got nailed for reading a magazine during lecture. How we gnashed our teeth when MM's lecture notes came back. Then in May, three weeks of exams inspired many beards. We took the part III (intern) Boards as an experiment, stimulated by some of George's beers for lunch. They were easy, and the world of white pants just two weeks away appeared not quite so awesome.

But my gal will get a rusty razor and run you all over town. And catch up with you just the same. —from a traditional blues We spend our hours here probing the human condition. Sometimes comedy, sometimes pathos, occasionally boring, usually busy—our month on the A.D. is a great experience. Our education is enhanced in two major ways. First, we achieve confidence in approaching the medical and surgical emergencies. Given the responsibility for patient care that is frequently denied us on the in-patient services, most students delight in acquiring the knowledge to (at least partially) manage acute asthmatics, acute pulmonary edema, diabetic ketoacidosis and various surgical trauma. There is great satisfaction in doing. And, in acquiring an apprentice's ability to put on a cast, pack a nose, sew up a face or externally massage a heart, one enjoys the feeling of, incompletely at least, being all things to all people. Those who flow as life flows Feel no wear, feel no fear. Need no mending, no repair. —Lao-Tzu Our education grows on two counts: treatment oi disease (and non-disease), and the doctor-patient relationship. The A.D. has little of the dramatic flair which television and the paperback writer portray. The hours are arduous and not always scintillating; the patients' waits are long and they are often less than effusive in their gratitude. Sometimes our patience is short, particularly with the drunk. AOB dries up one's well of compassion that has already been drained by those numerous attempts at suturing moving targets, getting unintelligible histories and eliciting physical signs from a complete uncooperative. Our core of humanitarian-ism is continually being stressed, sometimes past its tensile strength. In almost all instances, though, our racially split patient census is uniquely homogeneous in its degree of cooperation, gratitude, or ethanolism. We begin to know ourselves, to see the facets of our personality in handling people and disease. Being upset at our own short tempers is more than offset by the excitement of seeing lots of pathology, of doing some people some good, of having responsibility. And, the long hours are not without good humor. The chief complaint (as interpreted by the desk clerk) is frequently a minor masterpiece: Coronary Conclusion , Pt has S20 bill in vagina, can’t get it out”, Pt fell (his back had been slashed with multiple lacerations), Patient bleeding from Virginia . One gentleman whose own dog had bitten him refused his tetanus toxoid, for this prophylaxis would have been maligning my dog—the greatest friend I've ever had . Of course, our history taking has received some streamlining as we caught up on the vernacular: bad blood, sugar, clogs, failin' out... ... Rocky, you've met your match. Rocky said, Doc, it's only a scratch, and I'll be better. I’ll be better as soon as t'm able. —John Lennon Paul McCartney Drunkenness spoil health, dismounts the mind, and un-mans men. —William Penn The humor mollifies our frustration Patients often wait interminably, only to be treated and streeted in 10 minutes and charged $16.00. The wait for X-rays at night and on weekends is invariably long and often we decide not to get films at all. Patients with stomach pains for three weeks choose 3:00 AM of a Saturday morning to come in. That one interesting case of Ihe day is never seen by a student, because Dr Sharpies took it off the bottom of the pile and worked it up. Perhaps more vexing is the self-neglect on the part of the patients: the hepatitic with hematemesis who has a one month history but never saw a physician; the mother whose obtunded child “has been asleep for three days, but I didn't have time to bring her in ; the skid row drunks who burn themselves; the rectal Ca. who noticed nothing until he was completely obstructed. In the future, as most of us specialize to one degree or another, we will give better treatment, but to a more limited percent of the population. Perhaps nowhere again will we do as much good for as many people as we did in the Accident Dispensary MEDICINE SOL SHERRY, M.D. Professor and Chairman Th r� „r 5,rc 10 ,carn. There of necessity will be Is but knowledge in the mattne. —Mifton NORMAN LEARNER, M.D. ISAAC W. CINSBURG, M.D. The arrival last Spring of Dr. Sol Sherry marked the onset of a new era in the department of medicine at Temple. Beginning July 1, all clinical services were reorganized in terms of house staff and student coverage. Mortality conference and Grand Rounds became highly successful elements in the teaching program, while faculty attendance reflected the fresh enthusiasm and zeal that the department had acquired. The twice weekly Professor Rounds were instituted to teach the student thoroughness in the investigation of the patient and the literature. Virtually all subspecialties of Medicine had more applicants than positions, so we all had to accept disappointments in our selections. Perhaps the greatest letdown was the lack of a general medical in-patient rotation, which was denied us and given the juniors. Evaluating the rewards of our senior electives is difficult and only a random sampling of subjective opinion is possible. Different students with different goals were taught by different attendings with different enthusiasms, and the quantity and quality of the patient load often varied enormously. With an equation containing so many variables, the propensity for different answers is large. Virtually all students took Cardiology—though as with most subspecialties, three and one-half weeks was only enough to whet one's appetite. Dr. Louis Soloff's rounds and conferences, sprinkled with references to his many contributions in the literature, were worthy learning experiences. The fine beard of Dr. Hal Ruten-berg fostered a fad of hirsutism rivalling that of the hula hoop or Mah-Jongg; his conscientious approach to teaching was shared by fellow cardiac cath specialist, Dr. Michael McDonough. Dr. Howard Warner rapidly became a legend to most seniors. His knowledge of general medicine is stunning, and he conveyed a great deal of information to his students. Medical clinic was an amalgam of the peaks and nadirs in the practice of clinical medicine. There was, often for the first time, the warmth of patient gratitude, for it was we who had made the Dx, initiated the Rx, and made that person well—not the intern, resident or staff man. A second sense of satisfaction was the occasional patient with significant pathology whom we recommended for admission, for we could then keep tabs on his or her progress as an in-patient. Too often, though, one plumbed the depths of vague emotional and physical complaints without ever hitting bottom. fi WALTER J. LEVINSKY, M.D. The town square used to be a place Now it's a person. The old saw about general practice we now know to be tact: 75% is psychosomatic medicine. Much of our time was spent supplying the shoulder to cry on, the open ear, or the understanding tone of voice. How many of our patients were menopausal women, living alone and on DPA, looking after grandchildren of their 9 offspring while the daughters were out enjoying the good times before they grew old and found themselves in the same situation. So, with the aid of Pearl. Mrs. Fay and Candid Camera, we ran head on into medical reality. The resulting action-reaction phenomenon was a forceful one. We spent much of our clinical years being intellectually seduced in the rarefied atmosphere of academia. Much of the student disenchantment with medical clinic stemmed from this conflict of the real vs. the ideal practice of medicine, where every joint pain isn’t psoriatic arthritis, and every dyspeptic symptom isn’t the Zol-linger-Ellison syndrome. Suddenly, we found ourselves treating symptoms, not causes, and dispensing Librium like the LMD pill pushers on Erie Avenue. Of the remaining in-patient services, one of the more ALBERT J. FINESTONE, M.D. EMMANUAL M. WEINBERGER, M.D. After talking to him, my impression was that he was a grade IV VI schnook. popular was Pulmonary Disease, where all attendings were helpful and Dr. Robert Cohen was superb. Dr. Cohen's humor is a priceless commodity, and he combines it with fact to produce enlightening rounds, as well as a fine Wednesday afternoon conference. He is famous for his adaptation of Sydenham's Primum Non Nocere to mean First, don't kill the poor bastard and we have all laughed at his examples of diagnostic overkill. There was universal acclaim for the Hematology staff. Despite the frequently depressing patient mortality, most students found the rotation rewarding and the teaching excellent. Gastroenterology was stimulating though more controversial; sparks were always flying, particularly at the conferences, when the staff members would rub each other the wrong way, like so many flint stones. Teaching on the Endocrinology rotation was consistently on a high level. In Allergy, Dr. George Blumstein spent a great deal of time working directly with students. Dr. Charles Tourtellotte's Rheumatology service was a slow and relaxed but stimulating combination of the usual (arthritides) and the unusual (collagenoses). Stu- dents who had lohn Martin as attending placed him in the superb teaching category, along with Howard Warner, Robert Cohen, Herb Waxman, Marc Reidenburg, and several others. The Metabolism service provided each senior with a healthy patient load, a solid foundation in diabetic management, and his only real contact with general medicine. Dr. Charles Shuman puts in a very long working day, but he exudes vigor and enthusiasm with every patient and has found time over the years to contribute a great deal to the diabetic literature. There is evidently going to be a revamping of the medical program for students next year. It is unknown how much of a role student opinion will play in any reorganization, but we are living in an enlightened era at Broad and Ontario and thus there may be room for optimism. One senses three major viewpoints from the majority of students. First, the specialty services have generally been good, and in some cases outstanding. Second, medical clinic is often a redundant teaching and learning experience, in view of the other subspecialty clinics and the A.D. Finally, a general medical elective should be available to every senior.

SUSSMAN, M.D. Away from the hustle and bustle of the mother institution St. Christopher's Hospital nestles in the heart of the car-stealing section of Philadelphia. A high-powered yet easy-going place, its staff is composed of uniformly excellent people. This pace seems to be set by the head of it all. Dr. Victor Vaughan who with his dry wit runs a loose ship that still wins all the races. The staff ranges in interest from people like the earthy Phillip Barba, a great teacher with an eye for detail and precision in routine pediatric medicine, to the esoteric Gary Carpenter (alas sadly departed for Jefferson Hospital)— Did you notice the distally-placed axial triradius on that 'normal' baby, Doctor? Running the senior program in his first year at St. Chris was Dr. Sussman, and what more need be said about him than the fact that the senior pediatrics rotation was almost universally deemed a success by those participating. If you really thought you had escaped the hustle and bustle at St. Chris your bubble was quickly broken the day you started on clinic—that fountain of youth where you learned why most pediatricians wear bow-ties. You probably soon came to know Dr. Pat Eyrich by popping into her office and standing on a chair so you could see over the stacks of charts on her desk. She always seemed to have time not only to keep the gears of clinic well oiled but also help with individual problems, too. Speaking of big helps mention must be made also of the affable Mrs. Dow-ney, who aside from having some trouble with students' names (Meningocele-Massengale?) was all around aide-de-camp. Many of us looked forward particularly to Tuesday w-hen Dr. Garfunkel made the scene all the way from Harrisburg, helping seniors in clinic, making us sorry he is no longer full-time staff at St. Christopher's. ANGELO M. DIGEORGE, M.D. If you toured the hospital when you got to the inpatient rotation, you may have started from the top and stumbled by accident or intention on the sixth floor, finding there the hospital's plant whose air conditioning system manages to keep the building at a cool 80‘ year 'round. A quick exit for the fifth floor (which is where you were headed in the first place for a look at that subacute sclerosing leukoencephalopathy) brought you to the hospital's clinical research section. This is the professional abode of one Angelo Digeorge. Enshrouded in a cloud of cigaret smoke you may have mistaken him for an angel—guardian to these unfortunate victims of unusual diseases. Though he hasn't yet sprouted wings, Dr. Digeorge is a compassionate man whose overview of endocrine and metabolic disease allows him to make crystal clear for the student formerly hazy areas of learning. The next three floors of beds are devoted to the more pedestrian pediatric illnesses seen at St. Christopher's giving them a decor of croup tents, hip spicas and the like. A day on these floors is punctuated by endless rounds and conferences in alternating attempts to test the student's ability to stand up for long periods of time and to keep awake in a crowded conference room. Keeping close watch over all these activities is Dr. David Smith. First-rate roundsman and devoted reader of journals, he peppers the humdrum of day to day pediatric care with vivid accounts of new information gleaned from the Lithuanian Archives of Pediatrics. DAVID S. SMITH, M.D. THOMAS R. C. SISSON, M.D. NORMAN KENDALL, M.D. Parentage is a very important profession, but no test of fitness for it is every imposed in the interest of the children, —George Bernard Shaw JOHN A. KIRKPATRICK, M.D. JAMES B. AREY, M.D. MARIE VALDES-DAPENA, M.D. A special nook on the second floor is reserved for the newborn intensive care unit to which Dr. Norman Tempest in a Teapot” Kendall is a frequent visitor. His perpetual disgruntledness is mitigated by his underlying deep concern tor his patients' welfare and the education of the neophytes of neonatology. Many of the girls gave vent to their maternal instincts in electing a brief rotation in the nursery under the guidance of Drs. Sisson and Kendall. A call on the hospital's page system for Dr. Post” always initiated a slow exodus from the floor to the south side of the hospital where the morgue is located. Dr. Post” is used at St. Christopher's because Dr. can't say Dr. Rokitansky without taking his pipe out of his mouth. At necropsy Dr. Arey would be found answering any and all students’ questions, demonstrating a body of knowledge exceeded only by his humility. At other times the equally capable Dr. Dapena was found freshly arrived from her castle ready to take on any intellectual challenge and wrestle it into submission. To help us in the areas of diagnosis and treatment of our patients we called on many other people, perhaps most commonly the radiology department. We found Dr. Kirkpatrick's and Dr. Capitanio's services indispensable and learned from them that one picture is often worth a thousand well-chosen words. Seeking assistance from those qualified in some of the pediatric subspecialties brought us to their offices scattered around the hospital where we consulted with them in rather informal fashion, finding not really to our surprize that they knew all about the case in point anyway. These people include Dr. Wells in cardiology who with his deliberateness and meticulousness can make sense out of the physical findings in the most way-out congenital cardiac cases. His findings were usually borne out at catherization performed by Dr. lain Black. C. ROBERT E. WELLS, M.D. New arrivals on the subspecialty scene include Drs. Alan Gruskin and Mary Cote, nephrologists par excellence. They really got things buzzing when shortly after opening their office (a converted 9x12 examining room in the clinic) they spread the word that they wanted to start a kidney transplant at St. Chris. This got our favorite immunologist, Dr. Harold Lischner so excited that he immediately started combing the country for antilymphocyte globulin. Actually he was excited even before he heard about the program—just on general principles. What is large, greasy, foul-smelling and floats? No, not the oil slick on Philadelphia Harbor as gastroenterologist Maarten Sibinga informed us Looking like a Dutch version of Abe Lincoln in his new beard, he helped us in distinguishing malabsorption, tropical and non-tropical sprue, gluten-induced enteropathy, green-apple two-step. etc. Dr. Nancy Huang will always be remembered too, that diminutive expert on cystic fibrosis and antibiotics. Is it true that she once found instead of a package insert the following message?— Help, I am a prisoner in a Chinese Carbenacillin factory! If you were really wondering about that baby with the distal triaxial radius, you may have called on Dr. Punnet for a chromosome count. Or you may have gone across the street and dragged the enigmafic Dr. Henry Baird back bv his bowtie for his thoughts on the matter. If he was being followed apace by someone looking like a plumber, it was really Dr. Grover who carries enough tools in his black bag to do almost anything on the spot. This third man on this team is Dr. Anthony Pileggi, a rather hip guy even though he doesn't have long hair. NANCY N. HUANG, M.D. MAARTEN L. SIBINGA, M.D. William L. Horvath DANIELS.

LISCHNER, M.D. OBSTETRICS GYNECOLOGY The most revolutionary invention of the XIX century was the artificial sterilization of marriage. —George Bernard Shaw Man and Superman RUSSELL R. DEALVAREZ, M.D. Professor and Chairman Since hair our patients will be females, it is an unfortunate commentary that less than one-third of the class took Ob-Gyn. Most did agree that the bulk of the junior year program was good. The nine o'clock conferences were excellent didactic presentations; there is a quantum of knowledge available to the introductory student of obstetrics that is practical, interesting, retainable and useable. The nature of the subject, as well as the quality of the teaching staff, made us feel we had gotten a snug toe-hold in the specialty. And, with all due prejudice aside, the concise Willson-Beecham-Carrington text was a refreshing change from the type of ponderous verbosity that frequently permeates Nelson, Harrison, or the Four Horsemen. Most of those who did not take senior year OB-Gvn complained of several junior year deficiencies. There was little staff clinic teaching, and one hesitated to keep bugging the residents who were both busy with patients and uninterested in us. The three weeks on ward gynecology yielded only a narrow spectrum of pathology— incomplete abortions, chronic P.I.D., and an occasional fibroid. Other students objected to spending those endless hours in tiny labor rooms with a private prima-gravida, getting the q 15 contractions and HP's that in most other hospitals a student nurse takes. EUGENE SHUSTER, M.D. MICHAEL J. DALY, M.D. Dyspareuma is belter than no pareunia at all. The enjoyment in Ob-Gyn is one of doing, as well as thinking, and it thus attracts the surgically as well as the medically oriented. Those who took senior electives were very pleased with the experiences; like other electives, one gets much more out of his time of he chooses to spend it in such a manner, not if it is chosen for him. One worked at Temple, for the hours were long and the patient load great, but hard work has its satisfactions. As with most senior year services, much of the teaching is acquired from the house staff. One's impressions of the faculty, then, are gathered from both junior and senior year experiences. Dr. R. R. DeAlvarez's lipid research and administrative duties precludes the student contact of other staff men. but those who have had him as preceptor acknowledge his penchant for completeness and precision in approaching the OB-Gyn patient. Dr. Joe Daly radiates enthusiasm for the present and future of his specialty, and is often a willing teacher to seniors. Dr. Lewis Hoberman is an atavistic practitioner in the old school tradition—friendly, uninhibited, a one-of-a-kind that the present day's pseudosophisticated culture can never again produce. Few know Dr. Hoberman's skill Population, when unchecked, increases in a geometrical ratio. Subsistence only increases in an arithmetical ratio. —Thomas Malthus I ) i U n J -� n X X H U K fi n 1« C-12. X h A IJ-15 6 d XI « X ft A 10 17 l� LAWRENCE E. LUNDY, M.D. JERRY J.SHULMAN. M.D. and reknown as a gynecologic pathologist, but many have been a part of his D.R. performances which range from labor induction with castor oil enemas to his famous let the kid have this one philosophy. If we delivered one of his patients, Hobie's imprimatur consisted of using our head to demonstrate the proper extraction procedure at the same time we were trying to catch the baby. In the younger generation of two fingered surgeons, John O'Lane is in charge of the teaching program and Ob-Cyn student health. Dr. James Batts is deeply involved in health care and the North Philadelphia community; his nine page lecture provided excellent (though controversial) insight into the unquestionable necessity for improving ward and clinic health care. Dr. Eugene Schuster was the most consistent teacher for seniors, always eager to impart information to students, no matter what the hour; while others on the staff were elsewhere during their nights on, Dr. Schuster was unmindful of missed sack time, and would hold forth in the delivery room as long as someone wanted to learn. Some ten percent of the class took out-of-house electives, and all found the results gratifying. Abington Hospital provides a fine example of an active community hospital service whose private practitioner staff is eager to let Temple students participate and learn. The Mayo Clinic and the Ceisinger Medical Center, though of disparate size, are similarly constituted referral centers with a heavy emphasis on gynecology. Ceisinger, in addition, treats its clinical clerks as interns, with co mensurate responsibilities. The patient's chief complaint was that she walked into a parking meter and violated herself.

M.D. One-fifth of the five million poor American women who require family planning assistance are receiving it. —President's Committee on Population and Family Planning I will itand here for humanity, and though I would make it kind, I would make it fine. Let us affront and reprimand the smooth mediocrity and The most overwhelming sociological fact that a student learns from his medical school encounter with pregnant women is that so few of the children are wanted. Of course we rarely work with the private patients at Temple, but this only serves to underline the point that those who can least afford to have unwanted children are the very women who are burdened with them. This lesson has great significance for the future of the rural poverty areas and the cities as well; the nation as a whole should also be learning it. There seems no way to provide the necessary health care, housing, education or jobs without controlling the source of unwanted children that overwhelm all governmental and medical efforts to provide a decent life for the poor. It is hard for people to pull themselves up by the bootstraps if they can’t afford anything on their feet. We have spent a good deal of our year working in out patient clinics, delivery rooms, or in the Accident Dispensary; the sad, unending and unyielding evidence of children being cuffed around, of being neither wanted, loved nor financially cared for, surrounds us every day. Many have become hardened to it. Vet the resultant destruction of family life that poverty and overpopulation consummate, is as vivid a ravagement as the most anaplastic cancer. We as students make barely a dent in this most necessary health service of providing birth control information. Only about one-fifth of pre-natal patients want their pregnancies, and the number of women to whom we can give contraceptive facts prior to a first pregnancy is minimal. Of course, to expect a black patient from a black ghetto to enter a large gleaming white hospital building staffed by white faces in white coats, is completely contradictory to reality and the symbolism of racial unconsciousness. On Greatheart Ward last year, every wall poster promoting family planning used a white woman to further the message. The GHW census is, of course, largely black, and the sincerity of the while world's concern for its black patients was immediately bogus. Of course some illegitimate children are wanted, for conception is a tremendous and unique act of creativity —an individual effort of pride and self-satisfaction which in many lives is unsurpassable. But the majority are not planned or wanted, despite those who point out that more kids mean more welfare and thus a better living. It would seem that there is the one greatest health service we could supply—as individuals, as a medical school, as a Health Sciences Center working with the community health programs and patient care centers. This service would be seeing that every woman is at least given the opportunity to have methods of contraception, which she then can reject or accept. Is there any more significant way in which we can help the ghetto, the rural poor, and the nation shape their interwoven destinies? LEONARD D.

JOHN H. HALL, M.D. If lack Spratt had told me he could eat no fat, I would have contemplated a cholecystectomy. In this year of curriculum transition, there were some alterations in the surgery program. Up through the summer, one could divide his rotation between the ward and a private service. This was terminated due to the disappearance of the ward patient and to the reorganization of bedside surgical teaching for juniors. Those who took surgery during the last five blocks at Temple spent their time with one or two private staff men. Half our class, however, opted for Episcopal's service, on the basis of its junior year raves. Still others went to Einstein, Geisinger, the Mayo Clinic, Germantown, or Abington. ROBERT C. EYERLY, M.D. WILLIAM P. LIGHTFOOT, M.D. The Temple service provided fhe opportunity for us to work across the table with any one of the great names on the surgical staff. It was usually more than worthwhile. Dr. George Rosemond's skill is nationally known, and the volume of his procedures provided some of the evidence for his fine technical ability. In Dr. Robert Tyson's meticulous approach to vascular surgery, he is always thinking several steps ahead in the procedure; rarely, it seemed, did any complication arise whose effect and management were not contemplated ten minutes previously. Dr. H. Taylor Caswell is a famous combination of easygoing wit, clinical knowledge, and great skill with a knife. His lectures and conferences on bowel obstruction and endocrine surgery were always stimulating. As juniors, many remember the Lorber-Caswell confrontation on the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis; Dr. Caswell, needless to say, got the last word (in hilarious fashion). Two men whom we see less in the O.R. but more frequently on the floors are John Hall and Vincent Lauby. Dr. Hall is largely occupied with various teaching programs; though mostly working with the underclassmen, he has instituted a popular office surgery elective for seniors. Dr. Lauby presented a fine series of surgery lectures to us last year. Those who see him in the clinical setting readily appreciate his devotion to teaching; his clinical clerks receive almost daily tutelage in radiology, bedside diagnosis, and general surgical management Several young turks are important segments of the surgery department. Dr. Willis Maier presents a friendly, easygoing manner and an eagerness to help the house staff at any hour. He has also collaborated with Craig Ingber and Skip Garber to produce a very successful film on CVP monitoring. Dr. Fred Reichle is a popular student elective choice, and has been doing interesting work with umbilical vein catheterizations in hepatic arteriography. Len Goldman made a big impression on those of us who (we hope) did not fit in his classification of thumbsuckers . Dr. Goldman has an extremely successful elective in fluid and electrolytes, but some of us know him more for emphasizing our moral responsibility to every patient. Medicine, as he put it, is the only profession where one can commit legalized assault. Senior electives at Temple are frequently divided between general surgery and a subspecialty elective. All the subspecialties are popular and all, of course, have long and excellent reputations outside of Temple. Orthopedics consistently attracts many students; its whole staff is skilled, with Chuck Parsons and John Lachman being unique teachers in their effective combination of knowledge and enthusiasm. Drs. Blady and Harwick's Head And Neck service has a huge volume of patients. Its rate of successes in the face of “incurable oncology belittles its simplistic nickname of the Andy Gump service. Neurosurgery has always been a citadel of skill, success and innovation, from Dr. Fay and Dr. Wycis. up through Dr. Fred Murtagh and Dr. Michael Scott. The KKC Urology service is every bit as interesting as one might expect, and Plastic Surgery prospers from Dr. Lester Cramer’s dedication to teaching. Ear, Nose and Throat is really two services: in otorhinology, a student sits at the operating microscope with Dr. B J. Ronis. then often spends fifteen minutes afterwards with him, going over discussions and diagrams of a radical mastoid or a stapedectomy; while on the lackson Clinic, one is liable to see a lawyer from Lebanon, a physician from Pittsburgh or a woman from Vermont, all there to have bronchoscopy or surgery. EPISCOPAL HOSPITAL As has been pointed out. half the seniors took surgery at Episcopal. The attraction was a simple one: responsibility. Given the chance to be treated as an intern and to work hard (on every other night), everyone jumped at the chance. Students felt that they were essential to the smooth running of the service. If Dr. Kambe's patient infiltrated his IV, or Dr. Pennel's post-op had lost 800 cc of blood, or Dr. Stahlgren's pre-op A-P resection had symptoms of an infarct, the student was called first. If he found himself in over his head, a resident was always available. Rather than feeling superfluous in the matter of patient management, one lumped at the chance to be a doctor . Episcopal students did not have to wait until their internship to test their wings. LEROY H. STAHLGREN, M.D. ALBERT EINSTEIN MEDICAL CENTER MORTON PAREIRA, M.D. GERMANTOWN HOSPITAL JAMES S. C.

Our graduating class finds it uniquely appropriate that the SKULL'S dedication acknowledges a neurologist, Gunter Roland Haase, M.D. In his many contacts with us. Dr. Haase has represented the culmination of intellectual ability, humanitarianism and devotion to teaching to which, as students and practitioners of medicine, we all aspire. The respect with which we regard the Professor and Chairman of Neurology is mirrored in the degree of unanimity of our class's selection. Equally significant is that he has been at Temple such a short time, not quite five years. His background prior to becoming a Phila- delphian is a particularly rich and varied one; this comes as no surprise to students of this uniquely well-rounded physician. Dr. Haase was born forty-four years ago in Chemnitz, Germany, and received his primary and secondary education in Aue. His mother still resides in Aue, which is now Russian territory. His pre-medical training was at the University of Berlin, and he attended medical school at Ludwig-Maximillians—Universitat, in Munich. He has many fond words for Munich, a unique city which he feels is the cultural hub of Europe. In 1949 he married an American, Virginia Potter, shortly before receiving his M.D. degree. Dr. Haase then immigrated to the United States, where in 1950 he began a rotating internship at St. Luke's Hospital, in Denver. He followed this with a psychiatry residency at the University of Colorado, a program in which he spent three months in neurology and six months, part-time, in electroencephalography. This helped Dr. Haase chart a new course in medicine; leaving Denver in 1954, he became a clinical associate in Neurology at the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Blindness in Bethesda. Following a year at Queen's Square Hospital in London and an additional year at Bethesda, he became associate professor of Neurology at the University of Oklahoma Medical Center from 1960 to 1964. In that short time he was presented the Aesculapean award by his students for excellence in the teaching of clinical medicine. Our class first met Dr. Haase in January of 1966, when he presented ten PGH patients to our freshman class of fledgling neuroanatomists. There, in a most educational three hour session, we saw the wheat separated from the chaff—the clinical application of all those tracts, nuclei, decussations and peduncles that we had memorized from the cold pages of Truex and Carpenter. We were reintroduced to Dr. Haase junior year, both in Erny Amphitheatre, and in the conference room at Philadelphia General. His neurology lectures were concise forty minute masterpieces that blended fact with eloquence; the first nine in a row were met with applause. The syntax of a very well read man enlivens any subject, whether in conference, lecture, or rounds; his assorted phrases and bon mots make pleasant company with neurologic eponyms.

He brings, in addition, this sense of completeness to his field of Neurology. The history of medicine seems the only proper foundation upon which to build the knowledge of medicine.

That we might mention Pancoast's syndrome or Osier's Nodes without knowing the preeminence these physicians achieved in Philadelphia, runs counter to the respect with which Dr. Haase regards medical history. In medicine we worship the new and undiscovered, but hopefully not at the expense of historical sacrilege. His attitude exemplifies a broad sense of completeness with which we might approach our lives as physicians. In a field where diagnostic and anatomical acumen reign while therapy may lag behind, a student can sometimes feel that the academic neurologist is quite full of himself, interested primarily in conference one-upmanship. Dr. Haase belies any such thought, and brings to the specialty of neurology an aura of respect and appreciation. In a specially where patient care is often secondary because of the frequently inevitable mortality or prolonged obtundedness, Dr. Haase has a particular concern for the patient. He has already published a dozen papers, yet a student feels that one of his great senses of accomplishment is his ability to help people in their dying. He feels that it is as significant a goal, and frequently a much more difficult task, than helping people live—than making a diagnosis and instituting a cure. Dr. Gunter Haase is a true humanitarian, a brilliant intellect, and a great teacher. We who have been his students are proud to award him the one real honor we can bestow. For many of us, he represents the art of being a physician, and as such largely symbolizes the qualities in medicine which we hope, in the future, we may acquire. Dr. and Mrs. Haase have four children. Christopher is 15, Stephanie Ann and Leslie Joan are 14 year old twins, and Peter is 13. M 1969 GRADUATES .« • « Ur� t� BirtoiC?

NELSON, M.D. Director ot the Health Services Research Center M. PRINCE BRIGHAM, M.D. Assistant Dean MICHAEL B. SHIMKIN, M.D. Assistant Vice President (or Research JAMES B. DONALDSON, M.D. Chiol of Staff. Temple University Hospital After more than nine years as dean, Robert M. Bucher has resigned his post to become a national coordinator tor research and development with the National Institutes ot Health. Dr. Bucher thus leaves a medical community that is remarkably different from the one he helped administer from the time of his appointment as Associate Dean in 1958. His has been a major role in the development of the Temple University Health Sciences Center. Dr. Bucher's roots in Temple's educational processes extend, in a sense, back to the University's founder, Russell Conwell, for his lather Jonas Bucher was professor of English at the mam campus during Dr. Con-well’s tenure. Dr. Bucher's undergraduate years, however, were spent at Penn, after which he took his medical school, internship and residency training at Temple. He was a member of Phi Chi and the Babcock Surgical Society, and is in the Alpha Omega Alpha Honorary Medical Society. Upon completion of his surgical residency in 1950, he was awarded a Master of Science degree in surgery, and appointed to the faculty of the Temple University Medical Center. Dr. Bucher achieved significant accomplishments in his years as a surgeon prior to his assuming the administrative mantle of Dean. From the post of Instructor in Surgery in 1950, he quickly became an Associate in Surgery, followed by promotion to Assistant Professor, then Associate Professor of Surgery. He is a diplomate of the American Board of Surgery, as well as the American Board of Thoracic Surgery. Included among his many medical societies are memberships in the Physiologic Society of Philadelphia, The Laennec Society of Philadelphia, the Philadelphia Academy of Surgery, and the American College of Surgeons, of which he is a Fellow. At the time of his appointment as Dean, he was co-author of ten surgical publications with some of the standouts in Temple s surgical history, including Dr. Burnett, Dr. Rosemond and Dr. Caswell. In assessing our former Dean's part in the growth of the School of Medicine and the Health Sciences Center, one is struck by the different roles occupied by Dr. Bucher and his predecessor, William N. Parkinson, M.D. Under Dean Parkinson, every aspect of medical school and hospital administration was run by one man. Essentially what existed was an autocracy, and the excellent faculty which Parkie assembled was a tribute to his uncanny ability to hire quality and talent. He had absolute command, and fortunately he was almost invariably right. Dr. Parkinson’s faculty consisted of men who gave of their time for teaching. Death partly changed this, and Temple lost such greats as Chevalier and C. L. Jackson, Edward Weiss, Wayne Babcock, John Kolmer, et. al. Retirement has taken other luminaries such as O. Spurgeon English, W. Emory Burnett, and Waldo Nelson. Others of course have moved on to other institutions. Not only, however, has the type of teacher been changing; so too has the urban environment. The past ten years have revealed a scope of social and environmental metamorphosis that few in the previous generation could have imagined. Progress is not simply change—it is orderly change. Dr. Bucher has been responsible for transition from an autocracy to the team approach, both socially and medically. The developments in the past ten years have required a good captain to guide his ship through the various storms, to keep it off the rocks in rough weather, to chart the necessary course and follow it without running aground. Administrative medicine is a rough and often thankless task, and the average tenure of a current medical school dean is little more than three years. In Dr. Bucher's nine years, the research potential of the medical center has shown fantastic growth, particularly with the development of Fels Institute. The inclusion of various schools as part of the Health Sciences Center was a new and exciting concept, beginning with Dr. Leroy Burney's arrival in 1962. St. Christopher's Hospital has become a major health institution. Temple has become affiliated with the excellent Wills Eye and Skin and Cancer Hospitals. Community medical care has increased sharply with the founding of two OEO health centers and the Community Mental Health Center. Teaching affiliations with Germantown, Episcopal and Einstein have been strengthened, as have those with Eastern Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute. The sizes of the house staffs and faculty have increased enormously, while each incoming class will have 10 additional students until the enrollment of 175 freshmen students is reached. Though Dr. Barba was more responsible in the final development of the curriculum changes. Dr. Bucher was very active in initiating this most needed educational advance. All graduates of Temple are indebted partly to Dr. Bucher for the strong national reputation which Temple has developed. He is on the Council On Medical Education, and is one of the very few deans selected to be a council member of the Association of American Medical Colleges. Dr. Bucher's new post, simply by his very background, will add lustre to Temple's image in the field of medicine. At NIH, as a national coordinator for research and development, he will relate directly with educational institutions, and will have a large impact on health care throughout the country. The ferment of change has reached medical school curricula throughout the country, and Temple is actively pursuing major improvements in undergraduate medical education. Our primary objective is to create flexibility so that individual students can develop educational programs to meet their specific needs rather than be forced to follow a prescribed course of study. Temple attempts to provide the student an environment and educational program broad enough to prepare him for whatever career he may choose, while at the same time offering him the experience which will enable him to make an intelligent judgment in choosing his career. As part of its general planning to enable the Health Sciences Center to reach its objectives, the Medical School faculty has reviewed the entire undergraduate curriculum. This review has resulted in the initiation of several major changes within the context of existing courses and the development of plans for additional changes to be implemented in the future. All of these changes have been planned with the basic intent of injecting more clinical experience in the early phases of the student's education and more basic science instruction in the later years. In addition, time will be provided for elective programs so that each student's course of study may be as individualized as possible. One of the best documented failures of medical education has been the inability to produce graduates who will adequately continue their own education. In order to change this pattern, efforts are underway to transfer more responsibility for his education to the student and require him to be a more active participant rather than a passive one. As part of this objective, students will be provided with more unscheduled time in order to carry out individual study. Temple and many other medical schools are involved in defining a core of required educational experience to be supplemented by elective courses. Though the validity of this approach has been challenged, its advantages are many. With its concomitant elective programs, it should provide that first major step in guiding the student toward the necessary self-education required after his M.D. degree. It will enable the development of specific programs parallelling traditional basic science courses that will enhance the strong humanitarian interests which the majority of our incoming students possess. This curriculum should also respond to the necessity of what has been previously recognized but inadequately implemented—that different students learn at different rates. Finally, it seems apparent that significant patient contact early in medical school is necessary in order to establish more relevance to one’s education. By next fall, freshman, sophomore and junior students will be taking new interdisciplinary programs that are oriented to the body systems. These will complement, rather than replace, department programs, although the departmental teaching programs will be reduced by 50% to provide adequate time for the interdisciplinary and elective programs and increased study time. Two of these programs are of particular interest. Human Growth and Development will offer an overview of the growth, development and aging of a human being from conception to death, with particular emphasis placed on the interrelationships between man and his environment. A second program, the Introduction to Clinical Medicine, will begin the first week of freshman year and seeks to prepare the student to evaluate a patient by the end of his second year of medical education. The junior year will contain the core clinical year. The program for seniors is almost entirely elective, except for a required junior internship on a clinical service and time in the accident dispensary, the senior is given the responsibility to chart the course for his own future educational needs. Obviously, complete agreement has not been achieved on all the changes which have been proposed. The experience has led to a responsiveness on the part of the faculty which can be expected to be reflected in future adaptation to advances of knowledge and changes of concepts. Throughout its educational programs, the School makes every effort to provide the broad spectrum of talents which its graduates will require to satisfy not only the currently known medical needs of society, but also those needs now emerging, or developing in the future. VIRGINIA HARR Assistant to the Dean ELAINE NERONI Helper and Friend to all m so ip tod ah thihhhc of practicing medicine- THINK GLENDALE! CLASS OFFICERS FRESHMAN YEAR PRESIDENT Cal English VICE PRESIDENT Roger Gustafson SECRETARY Helga Olson SOPHOMORE YEAR PRESIDENT Nick Morris VICE PRESIDENT Dick Dabb SECRETARY Penny Koch TREASURER John Stolz JUNIOR YEAR PRESIDENT VICE PRESIDENT SECRETARY Dick Dabb Steve Kairys Debbie Overton SENIOR YEAR PRESIDENT VICE PRESIDENT SECRETARY Nick Morris Roger Gustafson Debbie Overton HISTORIAN Jack Beecham SKULL STAFF EDITOR IN CHIEF Jack Beecham LAYOUT EDITOR Leo Streletz PHOTOGRAPHY EDITOR Craig Ingber ASSISTANTS Bill Rick Jeff Greene Ken Kessler AIDE DE CAMP Bill Horvath LITERARY EDITOR Jack Beecham Practically every piece of non-fiction read in college, as well as every medical text, begins with a preface; it usually acknowledges the secretaries who typed the manuscripts and the friends who proofread the copy, as well as “Mary B., John F., Dr. C. B., and particularly my wife, without whom this would have been impossible. In the months of organization, cutting, taping, aligning, writing and swearing, I have often contemplated how one could properly convey to others the inestimable contributions of the members of the SKULL staff. Unfortunately, there are no novel ways, no secret words. Putting together a yearbook is an intricate mess. Every word is sent out to a typesetter, to be set in a particular type, point (size), character style (capitals, small letters, mixed) and column widths. All words are referred to as copy, and the copy is sent out in various batches, depending on the alacrity of the literary (copy) editor who is writing it all. In this case, the editor in chief is the literary editor, whose speed in turning out phrases or meeting his own deadlines is bradykinetic at best. As the copy is sent out at intermittent intervals, we continue to pore over lists of faculty names that we forgot to send out in time, or that are no longer on the staff, or that no one ever saw, or that are new and not on the list in the first place. Photographic assignments are periodically typed up and distributed unendingly; pictures covering some thirty different areas come trickling in, some early or late, some expected or unexpected; they go into envelopes awaiting the rest of their family. The book is put together in 20 groups of sixteen pages each, called signatures, none of which can be begun until every photo of every subject to be covered in that section is available. The layout editor looks at each alternative picture of a student or faculty member, picking the shot that best fits the tone of that page or signature. Still lifes are mulled over. He decides to crop unnecessary inches or fractions off a shot, to reduce or enlarge it, and by what percentages; where does it go best on the page? He tries to make the suggestions of his editor and his utility aide compatible with his artistic approach and his feeling for the effect he is trying to create. Perhaps, then, with this background, one can appreciate more fully the fine job Leo Streletz has done; the book certainly is as much or more his than anyone else's. Bill Horvath was our utility man, the Cookie Rojas of our team; he proofread endless copy, wrote the section on pediatrics and spent many nights assisting on the layout. Craig Ingber took a majority of the photographs himself, and their content and quality were outstanding. We were reluctant to use any of the printing effects available to us, such as mezzo screening, posterization, and duotones, for we felt the photos stood by themselves. Craig's assistants, particularly Jeff Greene and Bill Rick, worked eagerly and well. Special thanks go to Dr. Fred Rogers, one of Temple's great men. for his valuable assistance in providing a general perspective for Dr. Bucher's tenure at our medical school. ElaineNeroni,asalways,wasbright,cheerful,and glad to gather information or do some typing Charles Thompson in the Department of Development has assisted in obtaining autonomous SKULL offices, which should be completely operational bv next year. Dorothy Mewha in Public Relations was kind to permit us access to invaluable files of facts and photos. Not enough can be said for Stan Saltzman's department of Medical Communications. Bob Clough and Otto Lehman assisted us immeasurably. We additionally wish to mention Lynn. Lana, Mary. Bill and Al for their good humor and willingness to work Jerry Kaye and Rube Kaye at the Baum printing company are responsible for the clarity and reproduction in this book, and the copy was set in Central Type’s optima. Final thanks to all those students who offered to help lay out the book; as it turned out, unity in quality and direction is maintained only by a small staff, in this most inefficient of operations: and. in a small office such as ours, there simply was no additional room. The yearbooks never change; oh, the faces may vary from year to year, but the book is always the same. —Virginia Harr There is no overtly stated theme” for this book, but unquestionably there is a feeling with which we have organized this book and a tenor which we have tried to maintain. Put simply, I guess it is basically the contrast of old and new. The introductory sketches of Temple's luminaries contrast with the photographic panorama of a surrogate senior medical student's first steps on the road of a physician's career. The candid shots of our classmates in the final pages depict the end of medical school, but the beginning of medicine for us; as is said at so many graduation day exercises, commencement means just that—to commence. An outgoing dean bridges the gap between Parkinsonism in the past, and a new era hinted at by Dr. Sol Sherry's arrival. The peri-hospital geography is pictured, perhaps for posterity, since the community will soon be so many sand castles set awash by the wave of new building plans for the TUHSC. We have tried to take a new approach to the quotations that dot the pages of faculty, so that words from The Lovin’ Spoonful or Bob Dylan may be opposite those from Milton or Hippocrates. We have editoralized on the new and absolute necessities for family planning; unless past performances are changed radically, for the poor there will be No Exit. The senior photographic portraits begin with pictures taken the first day of our arrival four years ago. The acting dean has presented an explication of the new curriculum, and the reasons for the long overdue changes. In these and many other ways, then, we have tried to effectively contrast past, present, and future. Virginia Harr notwithstanding, we have tried to approach this book with new attitudes. We emphasized that the faculty be pictured while in the natural course of their teaching and working day—to capture them dynamically, rather than simply while looking up from their desk, or walking in the hall, or eating lunch, or posed. Every effort was made to have a new picture of every staff man, though regretfully we were unable to include every faculty member or researcher due to space and budget limitations. We wanted to expand the space devoted to various clinical departments—not to scrunch one down in the corner of a page or organize others in random fashion. Many man hours went into the conception, photography, and selection of still lifes that would complement the various sections of the book. Each of the 320 pages were drawn up and scotch taped together under the artistic eye of the layout editor and the amateur eye of the editor in chief, so that the reader scans the pages in a certain, designed flow that should be smooth and subconscious, rather than haphazard. Like a career in medicine one gets out of the SKULL what he or she puts into it. Throughout senior year, and particularly since the first of January, we have spent a completely unanticipated amount of time alternately agonizing and exhilarating over this book—hours in the past spent studying or with one's wife and child. No reader can derive from the SKULL what the editors will, but at least you get to read 320 pages for the first time (not the twentieth). We hope the layout, photographs and words present an effective image of four years at Broad and Ontario, and the many more that lie ahead in our new career. Jackson B.

Dr. John Kosa told the; annual meeting of the American Sociological Association that his study showed most Protestant students interviewed were interested in private practice, most Roman Catholic! students chose surgery, most Jewish students selected internal medicine and students with no religious affiliation chose psychiatry. Dr. Kosa said his study had involved 2,630 students at eight medical schools in the United States. He said 91 per cent of the students had identified themselves as either Protestant. Catholic or Jewish, about 6 per cent had said they had no religious affiliation and 2 per cent had named another religion or had not answered. The Protestant students were least likely to select ieither research or teaching, two inportant activities of academic medicine, while Jewish students showed a marked ! preference for teaching, and inonaffiliated students a preference for research.” Dr. Kosa said.

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowances for their doubting too. If you can wait and not be tired by waiting. Or being lied about, don't deal in lies Or being hated, don't give way to hating. And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise: If you can dream—and not make dreams your master; If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim. If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two imposters just the same .. , If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue. Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch. It neither toes nor loving friends can hurt you. If all men count with you. but none too much; It you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run.
