You are graduating in the Bicentennial year of our Nation, and in the City of Philadelphia where it all began two hundred years ago. Your graduation year also coincides with the Diamond Anniversary of your Medical School. At a special meeting of the Board of Trustees of Temple College on March 23, 1901 it was ordered that an evening medical school be opened in connection with the other departments of the Temple College. Although the opening of this School, at a time when the whole nation was witnessing a rash of new and unapproved medical schools, attracted much criticism and ominous predictions for the future, there was no doubt in the minds of the Board of Trustees about the wisdom of their decision. Time has proved them correct, and much of the credit for this wise decision must go to Temple's founder, Dr. Russell H. Conwell. The School started with quality in the form of the men and women who made up its first faculty and student body, and the clinical facilities of the Samaritan Hospital. There were thirty-one students, twenty faculty, and a twenty—bed hospital. The curriculum, with the same number of hours as were devoted to it in a day school, was given over five years of evening instruction. The first graduating class to complete the whole curriculum numbered fourteen; two of these were women. Day classes were offered for the first time in 1907 08. The names of those early teachers include Roxby, Babcock, Krusen and others, and the accomplishments for which they are remembered attests to the wisdom of Dr. Conwell and the Board of Trustees in founding the School. Nevertheless the Flexner report of 1910 was anything but laudatory and included negative comments regarding lack of full-time faculty, insufficient beds, inadequate facilities and the cq—mingling of medical, dental and pharmacy students in the same classrooms. The going was rough and uphill all the way for many years. The School has come a long, long way since 1901. But here we are in 1976, in the year of our Diamond Anniversary, graduating a class of 179 students from all kinds of backgrounds, each of whom has endured long years of hard study to emerge triumphant from a tough, demanding and thorough curriculum. The diversity of backgrounds reflected by the class of 1976 and the individual accomplishments of its members in the face of very stiff requirements are continuing signs of the strength, spirit and purpose of this fine institution. But your task has only just begun. In the next few years you will complete the clinical training needed to qualify you as independent practitioners. Then begins not only a long and satisfying life of service, but also a long life of continued learning. As with your School in the past as well as in the future, much of this journey will be uphill. If it isn't, we won’t be trying hard enough. Congratulations and sincere best wishes to the Class of 1976. I am confident that you'll continue to be a credit to yourselves, to the profession, to the School and to society. Roger W. Sevy, Ph.D., M.D. Dean Temple University School of Medicine 3 DEDICATION As the Skull is prepared each year it is customary for the graduating class to dedicate it to the person fell to have best exemplified an ideal in medicine or to have made the most dedicated effort toward medical education. But as we looked back on these last four years, it became clear that there were many whose instruction, example, presence were vital to and made a lasting impression on our education. We found it difficult to choose one whose effort or contribution exceeded all others. It was also clear that the formation of a physician was a many—faceted endeavor that required concerned, dedicated input from many sources in order to produce a complete physician - one who was at once scientist, clinician and person. Therefore we decided to recognize those whom we felt contributed the most, in their respective spheres, toward ensuring our complete development. First and foremost we wish to dedicate the 1976 Skull to our families. Those whose presence reminded us that we were social beings, that there was a world outside of our textbooks and charts that deserved our attention; and that likewise our patients were members of that world and that their total care required attention to and concern for social factors and quality of life as well as numbers on charts and shadows on x—ray films. Next, w-e wish to give special recognition to the department that combined academic excellence, dedication to teaching, responsiveness to student input to make the greatest contribution toward our scientific development during our pre-clinical years - Dr. Morton Klein and the Microbiology Department. Finally we wish to give very special recognition to the faculty member who inspired us most toward the art of medicine during our clinical years — Philip S. Barba, M.D. Our families — parents, spouses, children — are the people who mean the most to us, but have received the least of our attention during these last few years. Vet, without our families to share our successes and support us through our failures, our successes would have been empty and our failures overwhelming. Our spouses and parents learned from us and taught us many lessons. They learned - although not necessarily enthusiastically - that the bones in our boxes were real, and that nutmeg liver was not something served in the cafeteria. They also received innumberablc fundiscopic exams, held their breath indefinitely while we tried to hear an S2 split, and willingly submitted to having every pathologic reflex tested for — all in the name of helping us prepare for physical diagnosis. Our families unfortunately learned too, that our practice of medicine meant spending many lonely nights while we studied for exams, or were on—call, or were just late at the hospital. But our families also taught us many important lessons. They reminded us that there were names other than Ellis—Anderson—Harrison — Schwartz that we should use frequently. They kept us aware of Plato’s admonition that our patients were more than symptom complexes and laboratory data, “For this is the great error of our day in the treatment of the human body, that physicians separate the soul from the body.” Thus, while at times it may have seemed that we took those closest to us for granted and failed to notice their support—encouragement understanding-presence we feel it appropriate to dedicate the 1976 Skull to them as a means of expressing our awareness of how important their contribution has been and will continue to be to us. When look back upon my early days am stirred by the thought of the number of people whom have to thank for what they gave me or for what they were to me. At the same time am haunted by an oppressive consciousness of the little gratitude really showed them while was young. did occasionally wake up out of that youthful thoughtlessness which accepted as a matter of course all the care and kindness that experienced from others, and believe became sensitive to my duty in this matter just as early as did to the prevalence of suffering in the world. But down to my twentieth year, and even later still, did not exert myself sufficiently to express the gratitude which was really in my heart. valued too low the pleasure felt at receiving real proofs of gratitude. Often, too, shyness prevented me from expressing the gratitude that really felt. Albert Schweitzer 4 Gerald D. Shockman, Ph.D., Chairman, Dept, of Microbiology; Michael L. Higgins, Ph.D.; Morton Klein, Ph.D., Acting Chairman 1973—1974. Alois H. Nowotny, Ph.D.; Toby K. Eisenstein, Ph.D. Kenneth R. Cundy, Ph.D. and Lolita D. Moore, Ph.D. Mrs. Cundy. Leonard J. Zubrzycki, Ph.D. The Microbiology Department, under the leadership of Morton Klein, Ph.D. (acting chairman 1973 74), presented the core course in Microbiology during our sophomore year. The department presented a course that was in all aspects a refreshing departure from our usual fare of pre-clinical courses. The philosophy of the Department of Mircrobiology was to learn and have a good time doing it. The lecturers in the department were all well prepared and enthusiastic. They presented good, referenced lecture outlines that were followed. They produced a first-rate effort to make a potentially mundane classification of organisms, life cycles, and mechanisms of antibiotic action come alive. Dr. Klein and his faculty displayed an ongoing concern for the degree of student reception of the course material through a series of weekly student evaluation sessions. The department was also keenly aware that, as medical students, the clinical application of their subject was of prime interest to us, and they presented such correlation whenever possible. It is for the department’s cohesiveness, standards of academic excellence, genuine enthusiasm for teaching, awareness of student’s interest in the clinical aspects of their material that we dedicate the 1976 Skull to Morton Klein, Ph.D. and the Microbiology Department as exemplifying the ideal for a basic science department. 5 Philip S. Barba, M.D. All who rotated through the Department of Pediatrics at AEMC came to know and admire the rapport Dr. Barba had with the pediatric patient, the calm, assured manner he presented to the oft’ anxious parent, and the genuine interest he had in medical education. In the clinic he constantly endeavored to teach practical pediatrics, as well as successful ways to examine and manage our small patients. His energy and enthusiasm surpassed that of most younger men. Dr. Barba’s knowledge of academic pediatrics, his great store of techniques for examining and reassuring the pediatric patient, his dedication to medical education, his calm and easy-going manner, his ever present smile make him a practitioner of the Art of Medicine that we all hope to emulate. It is for these qualities that we dedicate the 1976 Skull to Dr. Barba with the hope that he will continue to impart the Art, and that we who have been privileged to learn from him will carry his spirit to our patients, whatever our specialty. aleke , f JR, « f £ $ (ft V ' r (ft © - H R • M- •, ft O ft O 4 tf s ■MaH + 4k Cmm 1 C w « C $ Jlljjf J MSLS. 9 III t ««!«'£ r-.ua. ! .� (««« 6. •� to. i • '«««•• -«• ' 9 A ?$ e«««— C.i'« . ... • | . •. 9 3 ‘ H£ . % ; , ees r ) © © © v .1. w.

But as I walked through the revolving door of Kresge building on that frightful first day of orientation, a feeling of safety and a great sense of security filled me. I knew I was in capable hands....... I thought back to my interview; how- nervous I had been, how agitated my gastrointestinal tract had become, how I had sought shelter in the lavatory, where I had received the first of many Temple surprises........... The first day it was all about to begin. I made my way down the hallway and into Lecture Room A . I wondered if anyone else was as nervous as I. No, everyone else is too brilliant to be concerned with such matters. My supposition was confirmed when I sat down and marveled at the admirable maturity, the singleness of purpose, the sincerity of heart and the intellectual capacity of those around me. The first hour of orinetation went very well — organized, crystal clear. A case of diabetes was presented and my fellow students asked questions about glucose tolerance tests, nephropathies, retinopathies etc.. I just sort of sat there hebephrenically and pretended that I knew what they were talking about. 9 Suddenly a fight broke out in the back and the lad with the black socks and sunglasses went down with a thud. All hell broke loose. No one knew what to do. The chubby lad was motionless on the floor, turning grey. Then light dawned. We were medical students: future doctors. Snyapscs fired and each contributed his or her own inspired medical opinion. Give him a barium enema.” Don’t lift a finger until you’re sure he has insurance.” If he was a marine, he could have properly defended himself. Let the son—of—a—bitch die.” “See if she he has any oesophageal oedema in her his throat; any medical student knows that.” Let’s gram stain his sputum. 10 Kiss him you silly bumpkins. Perhaps wc should gel a doctor. I just read an article about this very thing in the Cowpoker’s Journal of Medicine. Nothing seemed to revive the dying lad. Then the miracle happened. He was an incredible hulk of a man. He leaped from his chair like a gazelle and smoothly glided to the aid of the greying student. Our hero pounded on the lad’s chest and flipped him over. The greyness lifted: life had been restored. Who was this Man - Mountain? Hi out there. I'm Bill Hunt and incidentally I'm running for Freshman Class President, Student Senate, Honor Board, SAMA, the CIA, Congress, VVASAMA and the Papacy. I want all of your support. Thank you.” The press entered the lecture hall. Students cheered and applauded their new hero. He then sat down and permitted the Bulletin to interview him. Sir. don’t you realize that you just saved a life?” I didn't know that. I just turned him over because he had fallen on my roast beef sandwich. ” On that note the Herr Lt. Wasserstrom rushed into the room and arrested the incredible hulk for malpractice. Everyone mourned his loss. 14 WELCOME TO ANATOMY Many of us felt that there was a discrepancy between what the infamous gross lab rules said and what they really meant, e.g. Rule 1: Lab coats are to be worn while working in lab. This seemed like a good useful rule. The problem was that the rule should have stated that lab coats be made of whale hunter rubber and that no matter how many coats you wore, once entering Dr. Schneck’s playpen of bones you were doomed to ten weeks of smelling like one of Boris Karloff’s co-stars. Rule 2: Each table will be provided with a locker. By locker they meant cabinet, no, they meant shelf, no, maybe a drawer; well, a box with a door on it is more appropriate. Each A.M. you have schools of baby freshmen pushing and shoving to get their coats and more than once you could hear one or two No, I'm not paranoid med students bellow Someone stole my Huber probe. Rule 3: Eating and drinking are not permitted in the gross lab. This little ditty was stolen from the Temple cafeteria which stated that eating and drinking are not permitted in this gross cafeteria. 15 Rule 4: The gross lab is open at any time the buildings are open. This did not cause a great week-end rush for the lab, but it may have r ! contributed to the class picture being stolen from the mezz. R n Rule 5: Great discretion should be used in showing the contents of the gross anatomy lab to family, friends, etc. This frustrated some, who for 16 years of education had always derived great satisfaction from running home and showing mommy what they did for her at school today. £ t it Hr 4 HI v� k 18 16 11:50 A.M. It's nearing the end of another lecture and a strong sense of unease grips your stomach. Beads of sweat arc born on the forehead and now your breath comes in short, quick gasps. The lecture ends and you know now that you must do what you must do. You pass down the hall, going through Kresge lobby thinking that this was how the kamikaze must have felt. Your desperation overcoming your fear, you go out through the door to confront the enemy — BROAD STREET. r. 5 17 Between you and safety lies a 6 lane chasm filled with marauding metal monsters manned by maniacal misfits. Dr. Rodgers warned you. But then again, how could one resist the sumptuous dining of the hospital cafeteria when the alternative was the machines in the mezz. A desperate situation requires desperate measures. After lunch, I dashed from the cafeteria to pick up my checkbook which I had left in the glove compartment of my car. There I had my first encounter, but not the last, with that person the students feared most... uYWMW'fW’.WM 'ruMt fc' ............... • I begged. I pleaded. I put myself at her mercy, but she continued writing. I decided to become violent. I threatened, demanded; all to no avail. I told her I would punch her in the liver. She only smiled, handing me the ticket. With one swift kick, she demolished my car. 20 They came and look me away. Off lo jail where I mei some of Philadelphia’s most hardened criminals. One of my inmates drove me insane with his constant singing of Delfuguero’s Gynecologic Aspects of a Student's Life. I made it back to school by mid afternoon. My escape was made possible by two of my classmates who posed as midget paperboys. ■ ea,ing- S°™ho--. finishing upd Once more back in the classroom I noticed more empty seats. Only the most determined had survived a hot afternoon in the lecture hall. The notetaker seemed concerned with the lesson, others were finding other diversions. Anyone reading the newspaper in Dr. Lorber's, Marder’s or Lundy’s lectures is hereby sentenced to 100% attendance at the Saturday morning surgery conferences. During the two o’clock lecture break, I dashed across the street in order to get the money for some sorely needed textbooks. Medical school at Temple offered us many challenges in the course of our four years, but few surpassed in high drama and nerve—twitching tension of cashing a check at the cashier's office in Parkinson. Will we ever forget the friendly smile and boundless warmth we would inevitably find there? For example . . “Good morning ma’am, I'd like to cash a $10 check.” “Why?” Well, because I need the money. “Oh come on, you’ve got to do better than that.” “Right, actually this was just a come on so I could ask you for a date. “Don’t be smart. I want your I.D., driver’s license, social security and Columbia record club cards, fingerprints and left ear, if you’ve got it with you.” After ink is finally laid upon paper - “What! You made this out to Temple University!” “Well, I thought that was appropriate since this is Temple University.” “Oh no you don’t. I’m wise to you. You're going to claim this for income tax. I won’t cash it.” But... Next!” (quietly walking away-------) “Now I know why they have those bars there; it’s to protect you from assault, not robbery.” 27 The rest of the day was filled with stimulating lectures. Some of the students, even on the very first day, knew exactly what specialty they were going into and didn’t waste any time with such nonsense as basic sciences. Because of the day’s excitement, I was determined to spend some time in the library that evening. It was amazing to see the enthusiasm with which the neophyte doctors were already practicing the skills taught to them only that day. I ended my first day as it had begun, with a feeling of warmth and security. But now it was different. This was the end of the beginning, and was among friends. I was finally ready — or at least I appeared so on the surface. I had managed to balance my instruments so that one side of my clinic coat no longer dragged me down. The remaining tools had been carefully packed away in my black bag. But on the inside, I was a bundle of nerves. Would my patient take me seriously, or would she demand to see a real doctor”? Fortunately, the short distance down the hall to her room gave me little time to ponder these questions. In a matter of moments I was standing by the door. I hesitated. In uncertainty? Perhaps. But in retrospect I like to think I paused to appreciate that moment a moment which, more than any other, signalled the beginning of my life in medicine. But a moment lasts only a moment. And I stepped inside. The first time my resident said to use the scope, I thought he meant I had bad breath. Ri-i-i-i-ng . . Ri-i-i-i-ng . . Ri—i—i—i—ng . . Ri—i—i—i—ng . . Ri—i—i—i—ng . .

(click) “Sent last week you say?” “That's right, last week.” “Well, we never received it.” But I sent it myself!” “Sorry (click). But she told me six times that her periods were regular.” “They were”, replied my attending dryly, “before they stopped six months ago!” 34 So what was your call on him? I think he’s got an acute abdomen. He's most tender in the right lower quadrant so it might be a mechanical obstruction, or appendicitis, or regional enteritis, or . “Hold it, hold it. Does he have guarding on physical exam?” No. Does he have rebound? No, but he’s still pretty tender . . Nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, and a normal abdomen . . . how about just gastroenteritis? Hmm, well, I guess my original diagnosis could have been a little dramatic. Would that surprise you?” It wouldn't be the first time. No, said the physician shaking his head as he began writing in the chart, it wouldn't be the first time. 35 Il was 7 P.M., and sign—out rounds were only half finished. My fellow medical students propped sagging heads on tired arms and struggled to imagine what other tests Mrs. Jones could possibly need. “How about a sputum electrophoresis, I said. I think some residents get paid by the order, a voice whispered to my left. But my intern and resident were busily debating the merits of methicillin versus oxacillin, so the remark passed unnoticed. If we stay past midnight, can we count these as tomorrow's sign-out rounds?” came that same whisper. The intern now turned to me, not in reply, but because methicillin had finally won out. He dictated the order, and I wrote. Minutes hang like hours ... I thought, and turned the page to the next order sheet. Suddenly the resident looked at my two colleagues. You guys look pretty tired. Why don’t you take off. We have to stay and finish, but you don’t. They needed no encouragement. I looked to my left but their seats were empty. You can go too, the resident said to me. We can do the writing. There were few times one was happy to be a student, but this was one. 36 8:00 A.M. Well, here you are, it's your first day of that junior surgery clerkship. Yes, surgery the land of rites and rituals, a field having one of the big symbols of medicine . . . the O.R.. .. a symbol sharing fame even with the stethoscope. And the first day is going fast; you are led early to THE SCRUB. While donning greens and booties, the first year resident has given you a rapid lecture on Washing Thy Hands. '1 pftisoHex Scrub with bruih tv c ou ictm 4 . t-m ■ - t !«•• •••• —I« I 37 8:05 A.M. You soon learn that of the eight spigots before you, only one spews warm water, and this has long ago been allocated to chief residents. Ignoring the icy water and touch of Raynaud’s appearing in your left hand, you ponder a mental checklist. Note the time and begin. Okay. My watch and ring are in my pocket. My hair is covered and so are my shoes. I hope the tape stays in my socks; I’d hate to trip in the O.R. the way I did in the locker room. Ten minutes? I can take a good shower in less time than that. I wonder if there is really a good reason for all this dermal abrasion. 8:12 Why is everyone in the O.R. looking at me? Did they see me hit the top of the spigot with my forearm? ... oh rats, there’s soap on it — evidence. 8:13 jeez, my arms ache and two minutes to go . . . oops, hit the spigot again. 8:15 At last, finished! Let’s see, push the door open with your back. Turn around. I get the feeling everyone is smiling behind those masks. “Doctor!” “Yes?” “Get out of this room and don’t come back until you have a mask on and you’ve rescrubbed.” Damn, this never happens to Gannon. Oh well, it’s only a five minute scrub this time. Note the time and begin. Where do I throw this towel? He threw it on the floor, I suppose I can too. That's a very bad habit to get into, sonny. It just makes my work harder. Sorry. They told me how to open this gown three times already. Maybe I can get it right this time. That gown’s sleeve touched the floor, get another. Haven't you heard we have a laundry problem around here? Pay attention, this is the last time I'm going to show you how to open these, sonny. She sure has tied this thing on awfully tight. Uh-oh, the gloves . . . the hard part. Nuts, everyone is watching like a hawk. Well, here goes plunge . . SNAP. Oh no, four fingers in two finger holes. Let’s try the other one . . . SNAP, that's better — three fingers in four holes. Now if I can only get these stray digits in the proper holes. Oops, the cuff is slipping down. Doctor, you’ve touched a gloved finger to your bare; dirty wrist. Rescrub. Note the time and begin. Sigh. 39 9:40 A.M. “Look, hold it this way and pull . . . that’s it. No, no don't lean over like that to see — you might fall in, and you’re blocking my view'. Besides, you let up on the retractor when you lean in. (Little does he know that your glasses have steamed and you can’t see a thing anyway). 9:52 “Not so hard! Do you want to lacerate the liver?” 10:05 “Someone else can hold that instrument if your arm is tired, doctor . . . don’t worry, we don’t grade you on retractor holding (heh, heh).“ At Abington, Einstein, Germantown, Nazareth or Temple some have been fortunate to observe an exceptional surgeon who possesses the unique qualities of uncanny judgement and an easy command in the O.R. coupled with sure swiftness and grace in movements. •‘Now, tell me, docteur, what is the maximum level of E3 found in the female feteus at 31 % weeks?” “I don’t remember, Dr. Rajan. “Well docteur, I can see you are preoccupied. You have the will and the desire but you seem to be too involved in the basics. Come on my service and I will teach you everything you need to know.” “Now then, are there any questions from the people at Einstein?” “No? And how are things at Einstein, docteur?” “Hello, Mrs. Gonzalez, I'm one of the doctors who will be taking care of you here in the delivery room. First, I must get some history from you. Tell me, have you ever had rheumatic fever?” “Aiiii.” “Hmmm, How many times have you been pregnant before?” “Aiii, Aiii, Aiiiiii.” “Three, huh. Were they all uncomplicated vaginal deliveries?” “Aiiiiiiiii.” “Oh good. Well, thank you for your cooperation.” “Doctor, doctor! Is it a boy or a girl?” “I’ve only got the head out. Be patient.’ “Doctor, doctor! Is it a boy or a girl?” “I've only gotten the arm out. Please be patient. “Doctor, is it a boy or is it a girl?” “I don’t know yet. It's stuck. “Doctor, doctor! A boy or a girl? “Since you’ve been so impatient, I’m not going to tell you. “If you don’t tell me, I won’t pay you. It's a girl! It's a girl!” 42 How many times have you been pregnant before this, my dear? “17 times, doctor.” “How many of those were nine month pregnancies?” “One. “Only one? How many were premature? Nine. “I see. So you must have had seven miscarriages? “That's right, doctor. “How many living children do you have now? “Six. “Congratulations! That makes you G17P1976. Your a Bicentennial Multigravida. 43 “Oh, thank you, doctor, you're so kind. Chief Resident: There is a large adnexal mass on the left, about the size of an orange.” Junior Resident: Most certainly. I felt it yesterday at admission. First Year Resident: It is large, isn’t it? Medical Student: I don't feel anything.” Attending: Normal pelvic examination.” Student: I definitely didn’t feel anything. First Year Resident: It was large but within normal limits. Junior Resident: Most certainly.” Chief Resident: Yes, it is probably within normal limits.” For most students, learning about pediatrics is something akin to understanding Embryology — you've been there personally, but you don’t know anything about it. Most of the Finding Out” about pediatrics occurs at St. Christopher’s Hospital located on beautiful Lawrence St. The first few days at St. Chris for the Junior student are made up of two basic components, reticence and anxiety, as illustrated by Dwight Evans. It doesn’t take long however, to realize that this hospital is literally filled with knowledgable and helpful people who are willing to gently guide the student in the right direction (Al Wiser — below). A good portion of St. Chris's renowned reputation is due to the individual talents of its attending staff. Shown here are Dr. Harold Lischner having just learned that the Big Bird may have a T” cell deficiency; Ms. Infectious Disease of 1976, Dr. Sarah Long, (Lower Right) sharing her thoughts on the ideologic worth of Nebcin salesmen and Dr. Alan Gruskin (Lower Left) using a foreign dialect (Lower Brooklynese) to explain fluid therapy. r By two weeks into the rotation, most of the former inept tyros of pediatrics become veritable budding Nelson's. Laura Morgan (Upper Right) is caught teaching a friend how to write up H P’s, using the time honored principle see one, do one, teach one. Kurt Ruht (Lower Left) learns that the possibility of having a patent ductus can essentially be ruled out by auscultation; and Carol Sampson finishes her lecture on The Hazards of Bedwetting. One feature about St. Chris that everyone realizes sooner or later, is that the higher ups are really down to earth. Dr. Victor Vaughn, Chairman of Pediatrics spends his valuable time trying to salvage the minds of these handicapped students: Bob Snyder, Al Burger and Al Wiser. Dr. David Smith — caught in the middle of a busy day calling the Torresdale Golf Professional to arrange a convenient starting time. 48 I noticed that all of the lights were out in the Crisis Center. As I entered the dark corridor, I heard heavy breathing. My God, one of the patients was trying to escape! What should I do? I ran down the hall to get some help. Fortunately, I ran into one of the residents. Hello there,” he whined, what brings you to the Crisis Center on this lovely day?” One of the patients is escaping, sir.” Of course, of course. How long have you known about this plot? I grabbed him by the ping pong paddle and dragged him to the escape. But alas, it was too late. The patient had already disguised himself as an attending and had made his getaway. 50 Later that day I made rounds enjoying the patient contact, feeling needed.

In 73—74 TUMS was a third place finisher improving to regular season champs and league runner-up in 74-75. The team contains four seniors who played all three years: Captains Mike Gratch and Marc Carp, leading scorer Rick Lawinski, and Jason Solomon. Also, past bright lights who had burned out were John (6'8”) Glauser, Lee (Too Tall) Greenspan, Bill (Too Strong) Gloyd, Stu (Too Blue) Kravitz, Sandy Gutler, Jim Griffith, Joanne Bernabei, Peter Tom, Jeff Ritterman, and Mike (Rainbow) Landau. Mike Gratch who says that he has not seen the last of basketball is already getting set for the start of the Interns and Residents B’ball League, while Marc Carp might hang up those knees after the season. Jason Solomon may have thrown his last pass into the third row but Rick Lawinski wants to play until he gets his first assist; he may never give up the game.

J_JT3_L err fl I am well aware that in these days, when a student must be converted into a physiologist, a physicist, a chemist, a biologist, a pharmacologist, and an electrician, there Is no time to make a physician of him. That consummation can only come after he has gone out In the world of sickness and suffering, unless Indeed his mind is so bemused, his instincts so blunted by the long process of education in those sciences that he Is forever excluded from the art of medicine, which was to Hippocrates ’'the art of ail the arts. In that case he is destined for the laboratory, the professor's chair, or the consultants office. What would have happened to Sydenham had he been put through this machinery Is a problem in infinity which no human intelligence is competent to solve.

FACULTY MEMBER TO STAR IN MOBY DICK REMAKE HOLLYWOOD, CALIF AUGUST 12, 1974 (AP LAT) Kresge will have to do without the services of Dr. Jonathan Cilley indefinitely while he is in California starring in the movie Moby Dick. He is expected to play the role of Captain Ahab, made famous by Gregory Peck. Dr. Cilley's new popularity has emerged since he won the Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn look-alike contest in Bayonne, New Jersey. Although he is delighted to have such an opportunity, Dr. Cilley states his lifelong ambition is to star in the next version of “Keys To The Kingdom. ITALIAN LIB GROUP HOLDS PROTEST Northern South Philadelphia December 1, 1973 The ad hoc Young Italian Doctors for Freedom Group (YIDFFG) otherwise known as the SICILIAN LIBERATION FRONT, staged a demonstration outside Temple Hospital yesterday. At their head, marched Luiggi Cappecci, Class of 76 president. Faculty adviser Dr. Joseph U. Toglia of the Department of Neurology listed the groups demands: 1) Wider selection of Italian foods in the hospital cafeteria 2) Increasing the minimum quota of Italian students in the next freshman class to forty percent 3) A picture of Umberto Charletonni, Italian patron saint of nystagmus, to be hung in the Kresge building. Rally participants included Gene Porreca 76, Dr. Voci, Joe Candio 76 and Ollie Owen. Dr. Owen explained that he had never been to Italy and was present to get some of the old world flavor here on Broad Street. NEW DEVICE TO BE INSTALLED Clinical Labs, TUMS, 1976 A secretely obtained photo of a new device designed to be installed in the clinical laboratories at Temple Hospital is pictured here. The recepticle is designed to speed the normal processing of clinical specimens. Reliable sources have told us that the manufacturer has had the device installed here at Temple for the past several years on an experimental basis. The cost is reputed to be in excess of four million dollars. DR. HUGO SMITH TO ASSIST AMTRAK Washington, D.C. - June 26, 1975 Dr. Smith has been called in as an expert in scheduling to assist AMTRAK in the arrangement, cataloging, and effecting of new time tables for the troubled railroad system. When asked how this task compared to the job he did for Trail-ways and Greyhound, Dr. Smith stated, That was a different ball of wax and to get into that pile of hay would be like opening a whole new can of worms!” CLASS OF 1980 TO BE EXPERIMENTAL Broad Tioga Sts.

Rather it seems to me that when one is too intent on being himself he runs the risk of impersonating a shadow. Merton I give thanks to my God for all my memories of you, happy at all times . . . St. Paul I have often wondered whether people really know what it’s like to be an obstetrician and gynecologist. To be so chronically exhausted that you literally fall asleep in the middle of dinner. To be so conditioned to crises that you jump whenever a phone rings . . . On the other hand, do people understand the sheer joy of delivering a baby? Do they know how great it is to look forward to going to work? 94 W. J. Sweeney, M.D., F.A.C.O.G. JOHN L. BOYLE, M.D. CHANGE 95 96 College was traumatic; it wasn’t always cool, Organic chcm and physics to get to medical school. Then I was admitted tho’ no doctors were my kin, And now I’m going to graduate and wonder where I’ve been. First year was exciting; I was green and eager to please, I always seemed to go to class - - HG D gave me birds and the bees. By second year make no mistake we all were quite enthused, The course load, tests, and general grind brought us through just slightly bruised. When third loomed, money was tight, almost put my equipment in hock, There was night call, professors rounds, roundsmanship, and sometimes being called Doc.” As a senior student graduating, I get to sign M.D.” Then I’m supposed to know it all and cure the world for free. I often lie awake at night just chewing on my tongue, And wonder how soon I’ll turn grey, 'cause doctors aren’t supposed to be young. But time has come and whizzed me by, before I’ve taken note, That all the knowledge to be had, is not yet learned by rate. Alas, my humble classmates, you’re in a similar fix, We came; we saw; we conquered, We’re the Class of '76! MICHAEL V. BUENAFLOR, M.D. 97 Mike Buenaflor Lyon Nikolaivitch Myshkin, myself named canine co—inhabitant, asked me why I was going into medicine.

Mayo (1865-1939) Do not stop to think about the reasons for what you are doing, about why you are questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery each day. Never lose a holy curiosity. Albert Einstein (1879-1955) Learning without thinking is useless. Thinking without learning is dangerous. Confucius (551-478 B.C.) The scientist does not study nature because it is useful to do so. He studies it because he takes pleasure in it, and he takes pleasure in it because it is beautiful, jules Henri Poincare (1854-1912) Knowledge is a process of piling up facts; wisdom lies in their simplification. Martin H. Fischer (1879-1962) The natural dignity of our work, its unembarrassed kindness, its insight into life, its hold on science-for these privileges, and for all that they bring with them, up and up, high over the top of the tree, the very heavens open, preaching thankfulness.

Happiness makes up in depth for what it lacks in length. - R. Feldenkreis We can be absolutely certain only about things we do not understand. - Eric Hoffer All men have their frailties, and whosoever looks for a friend without imperfection will never find what he seeks. We love ourselves notwithstanding our faults, and we ought to love our friends in like manner. Cyrus Man is created imperfect, but perfectable. Talmud Kindness is the inability to remain at ease in the presence of another person who is ill at ease, the inability to remain comfortable in the presence of another who is uncomfortable, the inability to have peace of mind when one’s neighbor is troubled. - S. H. Holdenson Yours is not the duty to complete the task; neither are you free to desist from it. - Pirkei Avot Love is possible only if two persons communicate with each other from the center of their existence, hence if each one of them experiences himself from the center of his existence. Only in this central experience is human reality, only here is aliveness, only here is the basis for love. Love, experienced thus, is a constant challenge; it is not a resting place, but a moving, growing, working together; even whether there is harmony or conflict, joy or sadness, is secondary to the fundamental fact that two people experience themselves from the essence of their existence, that they are one with each other by being one with themselves, rather than by fleeing from themselves. There is only one proof for the presence of love: the depth of the relationship, and the aliveness and strength in each person concerned; this is the fruit by which love is recognized. — Erich Fromm 164 165 What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, to love mercy, and walk humbly with your God?

LAVINE, M.D. Ogres and Pygmies Those famous men of old, the Ogres— They had long beards and stinking arm—pits, They were wide-mouthed, long—yarded and great-bellied Yet of no taller stature, Sirs, than you. They lived on Ogre—Strand, which was no place But the churl’s terror of their vast extent, Where every foot was three- and thirty inches And every penny bought a whole hog. Now of their company none survive, not one, The times being, thank God, unfavourable To all but nightmare shadows of their fame; Their images stand howling on the hill (The winds enforced against those wide mouths), Whose granite haunches country-folk salute With May Day kisses, and whose knobbed knees. So many feats they did to admiration: With their enormous throats they sang louder Than ten cathedral choirs, with their grand yards Stormed the most rare and obstinate maidenheads, With their strong—gutted and capacious bellies Digested stones and glass like ostriches. They dug great pits and heaped hugh mounds, Deflected rivers, wrestled with the bear And hammered judgements for posterity For the sweet cupid—lipped and tassel-yarded Delicate—stomached dwellers In Pygmy Alley, where with brooding on them A foot is shrunk to seven inches And twelve—pence will not buy a spare rib. And who would judge between Ogres and Pygmies— The thundering text, the snivelling commentary Reading between such covers he will marvel How his own members bloat and shrink again.

Hippocrates Enjoyments that issue from conduct directed by insight into relations have a meaning and a validity due to the way in which they are experienced. Such enjoyments are not repented of; they generate no aftertaste of bitterness. Even in their midst, there is a sense of validity, of authorization, which intensifies the enjoyment.

These names applied to disease come to assume the importance of specific entities, whereas they are for the most part no more than insecure and therefore temporary conceptions. Sir Thomas Lewis Though we name the things we know, we do not necessarily know them because we name them. Homer W. Smith Indeed, if a little knowledge is dangerous, where is the man who had so much as to be out of danger? Thomas Huxley An expert is a man who tells you a simple thing in a confused way in such a fashion as to make you think the confusion is your own fault. William B. Castle No good physician quavers incantations when the malady he’s treating needs the knife. Sophocles 214 GERALD j. PRESBURY, M.D JOSEPH R. PUTPRUSH, M.D. Four years ago the achievement of this goal seemed an eternity away. Now the time has quickly passed, the goal achieved and new goals have been formulated in each of our minds. My next goal is to become a Pathologist, requiring four more years of hard work as a resident. It is a challenge I am looking forward to and one that I accept, knowing Temple Medical School has prepared me well for it. Giving four years of hard work, concentrated effort and dedication to medical school takes a lot out of a person as well as rewards him with the basic knowledge and skills with which to practice medicine. Because of our desire to learn and understand medicine, our loved ones often do not get as much of our attention as they rightly deserve. They suffer through our long hours of study, nights and week-ends on call, anxieties and frustrations; consequently, medical school also takes a lot out of them. It is for this reason that I dedicate my page in the ‘76 SKULL to my loving wife, Barbara, to whom I am most grateful. Though she may not realize it, she helped in many ways by being patient and understanding, by encouraging me onward and by keeping my spirits up through the rough spots in my medical education. Because of this, I owe much of my achievement to her. I wish to thank my parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Putprush, for having me because without them all this could not have taken place. Special thanks to my in—laws, Mr. and Mrs. William Kopko, who through their kindness and generosity of heart contributed greatly to the achievement of this goal. Thanks to my dear friends and colleagues who made four years of medical school enjoyable and rewarding. I know our friendship will continue long into the future. Thanks to my many professors who shared their knowledge and helped me learn the skills most necessary to become a competent physician. Finally, thanks to Temple University for giving me a fine medical education and the opportunity to fulfill a long- sought goal. 216 Barbara 217 A great man once said that true revolutionaries are guided by great feelings of love. - With love and affection I dedicate this page to my loving family. 218 It appears to be an inborn and imperative need of all men to regard the self as a unit ... A man, therefore, who gets so far as making the supposed unity of the self two—fold is already almost a genius, in any case a most exceptional and interesting person. In reality, however, every ego, so far from being a unity is in the highest degree a manifold world, a constellated heaven, a chaos of forms, of stage and stages, of inheritances and potentialities.

SCOBLIONKO, M.D. TRIBUTE TO A SAINT 11 was many hours we sat together; Talking, arguing, planning, regretting, and rejoicing — But always loving! I thought it was too late, but slowly, and not without fear, He took me by the hand and said, Don’t quit, be a man. AND HE RELEASED ME! He watched from behind me, but I heard each of his thoughts, As his love and concern echoed reinforcement in my mind. When it happened, at last, to unfold before me, I fell sure that I could do it alone - But only because of what we had done together. And now he is gone, and today is here, empty without him; So these words are for me and my cherished memories, But this tribute is for him — and it shall always be a part of tomorrow. 224 225 ROBERT M. SELIG, M.D. Pediatrics was simply a breeze, Ob—Gyn was a fascinating tease, Surgery often left us with some wide open impressions, And Psychiatry taught us of weird repressions. I don't aspire to the Presidency, I'll settle for a first class residency, Where I can treat and help the sick and needy, And earn my plaudits as Dr. Speedy. 226 In my three year educational venture in this urban armpit I heard countless sirens, rearranged one jaw, participated in 53 deliveries, exhausted 7 BIC pens, drew Avagadro’s no. of blood studies, sutured lacerations, wreathed a grave, walked every city mile, testified in city hall after recovering my stolen bicycle, attended a record no. of conferences and lectures, pitched for our softball team, learned to regulate K + , managed malignant melanoma, and somehow was graduated. Soon I hope to expire the last meq of polluted city air from my lungs, remove the last pieces of broken glass from my bicycle tires, and erase grafitti from my vision as I prepare for general practice near Oil City, Pa., a friendly place. Welcome. 227 228 Unless I accept my faults, I will most certainly doubt my virtues. Hugh Prather 229 BERNARD E. SHORE, M.D. Physician seqsitivityT A RICHARD R. SILBERT, M.D. I can only say now that I'm quite amazed I have made it through Medical School in the regular four years, and believe me, so are my classmates. I have certain people to thank. My wife Susan, my own true love, would never let me run off to become a Rock 'n Roll superstar. My music helped me retain my sanity throughout the insanity of Medical School. My Manheim Gardens compatriets were gems — even if they did tell me I invented the “Low Pass”. Also, friend, Alan Berger, the only character I know who has been consistently more .disagreeable to get along with than myself, thereby giving my wife the consolation that it could have been worse. I will be only too glad to trade dear old T.U.M.S. for the relative serenity of doing a psychiatry residency at some mental institution. It seems the most successful physicians (e.g. Ed Polin) are much like the successful orchestra leaders - they put on some good theatrics with as little show of talent as possible for their captive audiences. I thank them for showing me how not to be. Anyone knowing a psyche needing a wedding band better hurry and cut this out.

For everything there is a sign. The sign of love is fortitude under my decree and patience under my trials. —Bo ho 'u 'Hah O God! Forgive my father and mother their trespasses. Cast a glance of providence and usher them into Thy Kingdom! They educated and reared me from the beginning of my life but I was unable to compensate them for their labor. Do Thou reward them and grant them eternal life and make them dear in Thy Kingdom. ---Abdu’l-Baha ALLAN WOLPE.M.D. The darkness of this gloomy night shall pass away. Again the Sun of Reality will dawn from the horizon of the hearts. Have patience, wait but do not sit idle; work while you are waiting; smile when you are wearied with monotony; be firm while everything around you is being shaken; be joyous while the ugly face of despair grins at you; ... be valiant and courageous while men around you are crying with fear and cowardice. Do not yield to the overwhelming power of tyranny and despotism. Serve the cause of democracy and freedom. Continue your journey to the end. The bright day is coming. The nucleus of the new race is forming. The harbinger of the new ideals of international justice is appearing. The trees of hope will become verdant; the copper of scorn and derision will be transmuted into the gold of honor and praise; the arrid desert of ignorance will be transformed into the luxuriant garden of knowledge; the threatening clouds shall be dispelled and the stars of faith and charity will again twinkle in the clear heaven of consciousness. Abdu'l Baha O Thou who art the fruit of My Tree and the leaf thereof! On thee be My glory and My mercy. Let not thine heart grieve over what hath befallen thee. Wert thou to scan the pages of the Book of Life, thou wouldst, most certainly, discover that which would dissipate thy sorrows and dissolve thine anguish. 255 ---Baha 'u 'Hah DANIEL J.

ZIEGLER Graduate Hospital-University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Medicine 264 WITH LOVE TO DOCTOR PRINCE BRIGHAM from the Senior Class We who ore now to go After four bitter-sweet years Carrying a thimble- full of knowledge To an unaware humanity Are willing to fracture the alphabet To find a word more deep than thanks To the nobelest man of all Who blessed our stay with his extraordinarily Individual presence All of him fashioned by the Gods of Wisdom and Courage With the mentality of a Genius Who might have been a chilling taped computer He has instead remembered only the heart. The word we wish has never yet been coined All we know is that his presence Spread a sweet nobility within the walls of Temple Keeping us upright, proud and unafraid. Let no one ever say That we do not have a Prince dwelling among us. Jeanette Seletz 265 ALUMNI Murray S. Abrams, M.D. ’65 Dr. and Mrs. Kenneth M. Alga y '69 Dr. and Mrs. Jack Alloy 36 C. L.
