evaluating the pharmacopea for the PHARMACOLOGY After 34 weeks of Pharmacology at the rate of 7 lectures per week everyone had enough notes to equal, at least in paper used, any major textbook in the course. But here was a course that captivated everyone ' s interest as well. The material discussed in those lectures was to become working fundamentals for all future progress in medicine. The department, expertly organized by Dr. Webb, stressed to us the importance of the individual in dispensing drugs, the mechanism of action of representative drugs, but in all instances emphasizing and reemphosizing the importance of the scientific and intellectual frame of mind in which to view therapeutic efficacy of drugs we would in fact be using. We had to work hard in Pharmacology but the effort was worthwhile for at the end we had a good review of physiology, an introduction to clinical medicine, and a thorough background in the science of Pharmacology.

super ' It ' 1 PSYCHIATRY Depressed? Hyperactive? Anxious? A little of all for each of us in our sophomore year! Almost made psych a participation sport! We found in psychiatry a quiet spot with seventeen weekly TV episodes and not one commercial. We found, through the knowledge of Dr. Enelow and the individual group leaders, an opportunity to view the spectrum of mental illness — from neu- roses to learning defects. Here we found a new, personal dimension to medicine — the patient ' s mental health. For thrills and suspense, it will never replace batman or U.N.C.L.E., but as an experience in human relations, psych, remains second to none. 58
