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.

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
